On the other big ship, Empress Wu didn't sleep, and across from her sat a masked man who was always dressed in black. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"You dare to appear here, it's really bold," Empress Wu said lightly.

"Niangniang has won the award, if I don't want to, even Mo Zongli won't find me here, I still have this confidence, otherwise I wouldn't dare to help you" The man in black chuckled.

"How do you want to help me?"

"Then it depends on how big the mother's heart is"

"How big is the queen's heart?" Empress Wu smiled inexplicably, "Although the queen is now the mother of the world, but so what, I thought that I had become the queen, and the world has never been able to shake my status, but Shangguan Yi Li Zhong's one thing woke me up, and it has always made the queen palpitate, it turns out that my rights are between His Majesty's words, and the friendship of decades is not as good as a few words of others, and now I understand that my rights are only from the gifts of others"

The man in black had a smile in his eyes, "The power in the world is monopolized, and the subordinates are willing to assist the military queen to complete the great cause"

"I won't treat you badly in the future" Empress Wu was convinced of the person in front of her, it was a big help for her, and there would be no threat.

"But if the mother wants to accomplish the great cause, then there is one person who must die," said the man in black

"What person" Empress Wu also thought of it, but her eyes were still a little trance-like.

"Prince Li Hong!"

"No, Hong'er is the queen's own son," Empress Wu reprimanded in a low voice.

"Then it depends on which one you think is more desirable, Li Hong's immortal throne will always be his. But if he dies, the crown prince may be succeeded by Li Xian, but His Majesty was originally a little dissatisfied with the second prince and the third emperor, and it was much easier to deal with them than to deal with Li Hongke, and besides, didn't Niangniang also arrange for someone to supervise the second prince?"

"Xian'er's performance is very calm, this is Xu Jingzong's secret report" Empress Wu actually gave a prime minister's secret report to others casually.

"It seems that there is someone behind the second prince to point out, otherwise it would be absolutely impossible for him to be so able to endure it with his temperament"

The Empress Wu was uncertain and didn't know what he was thinking, and the man in black added another handful of firewood to Empress Wu.

"Niangniang, now is a great opportunity, if you want, I have many ways to make Li Hong disappear, and I can't find any traces"

"Is it the same as Du Yuan?" Empress Wu snorted coldly, "Du Yuan has found something that shouldn't be discovered, and you have a reason to kill him, but Hong'er must not do it unless he has to, and his body may really fail."

"Alright, do as the mother wants," said the man in black.

Suddenly, Yuan Xiu's voice pierced the entire cruise ship, and everyone became nervous because of Li Hong's illness, and the eunuch carried Li Hong into the bedroom.

"Qi Yu Niangniang, according to the princess, His Royal Highness the crown prince fainted," someone outside the door announced

"It's okay during the day, why am you sick now," Empress Wu frowned.

"It seems that I'm worried too much, Li Hong may not even be able to survive these few days"

"Shut up," Wu Hou shouted, getting up and hurrying towards the prince's boat.

"Niangniang, forgive me, I am also thinking about our great cause, Li Hong must die" The figure of the man in black disappeared into the night.

Li Zhi and Empress Wu also came to visit in person, but Li Hong was in a coma all the time.

"Your Majesty, how is Hong'er" Empress Wu looked anxious

"I just heard Xiu'er say that the prince has to take a look at the scenery outside, and the wind may have suffered some wind chill at night, I have already passed on the imperial doctor just now," Li Zhi said.

"Wechen has seen His Majesty and seen Niangniang"

"Don't salute, hurry, hurry up and see how the prince's condition is," Li Zhi shouted anxiously

"Your Majesty"

The princes hurried into the prince's bedroom with the medicine box on their backs, and Wonxiu was crying beside him. Not long after, the imperial doctor came to report.

"Your Majesty, Crown Prince...."

"What's wrong with the prince, you said, I can stand it," Li Zhi shouted.

"This—" Several Imperial Doctors hesitated but did not dare to say.

"Say, dare to have any concealment"

"Your Majesty, I am incompetent, the prince is terminally ill and afraid.... I'm afraid I'm going to die soon."

"What?" After listening to the imperial doctor's advice, Li Zhi's head spun for a while, and he simply supported him after martial arts.

"Your Majesty, you have to be strong," Empress Wu had tears on her face.

Empress Wu helped Li Zhi to the prince's bedroom, and now the prince has woken up after some treatment, and he wants to get up when he sees the emperor Empress Wu coming.

"Erchen...."

"Hong'er, if you're not feeling well, just lie down"

"The son made his father and queen mother worried, it was really a crime that deserved to die"

"Silly boy, what nonsense are you talking about" Empress Wu sat beside Li Hong and held Li Hong's hand.

"Father, is the child going to die?"

"Nonsense" Li Zhi's heart is like a knife now, he himself is a soft-hearted person, Li Hong is frail and sickly like when he was young, which makes Li Zhi have more pity. Flesh and blood, looking at the haggard Li Hong, even the emperor who is in charge of the world's power, is inevitably sad, and the sadness of the white-haired man sending the black-haired man makes Li Zhi extremely painful.

"Hong'er, you can recuperate with peace of mind, I will issue an edict, and when you return to Chang'an, you will ascend the throne."

Now Li Zhi only hopes to comfort Li Hong, as long as Li Hong can do well, even if he is allowed to ascend the throne, this world will be his sooner or later, but this sentence made the heart of the Empress Wu rise waves, but he didn't see it on his face.

"Father...."Li Hong's excitement was all on his face.

"Hong'er doesn't need to say much, I have made up my mind, as long as I can make you recover, I am willing to do anything, and besides, this world was meant to be passed on to you, rest in peace"

Something like this happened, Li Zhi and Empress Wu were completely sleepy.

"Your Majesty, do you really want to abdicate and let the crown prince ascend the throne?" Empress Wu suddenly asked.

"You don't joke, I have already said it, how can I take it back" Li Zhi sighed, "Besides, there is Hong'er among these children, who has the ability to inherit the treasure"

"How has Xian'er been doing in Chang'an recently?"

"Your Majesty, since we left, Xian'er has actively listened to the opinions of the prime ministers on political affairs, and has never asked questions about anything outside of his authority, and he does not receive any official visits in private. ”

"Oh, Xian'er surprised me a little this time."

"People will grow, in my opinion, it is better to let the crown prince ascend the throne slowly," Empress Wu advised

"What do you mean," Li Zhi shouted

"Your Majesty forgives your sins, you are upright, you are the prosperous Spring and Autumn Period, and you are the Holy Lord of the Ming Dynasty of the Tang Dynasty, if you retire from the concubines, you are unhappy for Your Majesty" Empress Wu hurriedly knelt on the ground.

"Alas, it's me who is strict, Mei'er, get up" Li Zhi sighed

"Although Hong'er didn't say it, I know that this child's lifelong wish is to be the emperor, and seeing that time is running out now, I can't let him leave with such regrets, it's a big deal that after Hong'er dies, I will be in charge of the dynasty again."

"Since Your Majesty has made up your mind, then the concubine thanks Your Majesty for fulfilling Hong'er" Whether she wants to or not, but Empress Wu must show that she cares about Li Hong.

Li Hong's bedside in the bedroom was lingering, and he was now excited, and he kept holding Yuan Xiu's hand.

"Xiu'er, I'm going to be the emperor..."

"Yes, Your Majesty allows you to ascend the throne after returning to Chang'an" Yuan Xiu hugged Li Hong's hand and couldn't help crying.

"I will definitely follow the example of Emperor Gaozu Taizong and be a great monarch, so that my Tang Dynasty will prosper and my people will live in peace."

"There are too many shortcomings in the Tang Dynasty that need to be eliminated now, and now it is very different from the time of the founding of the country, but the national politics of the founding period have not changed until now, and I will definitely start from here after I ascend the throne, as long as I do it, I will definitely go down in history and become not inferior to the ancestors..."

"Cough, cough, cough..." said in the excitement, Li Hong coughed again.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, you should take a good rest and don't say anything"

"It doesn't matter, the wish of many years is now close at hand, and it is at your fingertips..."

Li Hong's chest continued to rise and fall, panting heavily, but his eyes became brighter and brighter, looking straight at the roof.

"Prince, Prince, what's wrong with you, don't scare me," Yuan Xiu shouted

"Poof..." Li Hong suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood, which splashed Yuan Xiu's body, and then fell straight on the bed.
