Tang Dynasty: The seventh rank of official residence, and you will be given the Ten Thousand People

Chapter 198 The adultery discovered by Wu Zetian.

Wu Zetian followed Princess Taiping all the way to Jinsheng Inn. When she saw her daughter walking in alone, her face was extremely ugly.

Fan Xin's daughter had just died and her daughter had a lover, which made her face the world.

"Yunhu, bring the knife, I will kill the adulterer inside with my own hands today!"

The guard's expression changed and he whispered: "Your Majesty, please calm down. The princess just entered the inn, so it's not too late to ask questions before killing anyone!"

"Hmph! You came to the inn late at night when you weren't at home. Do you really think I don't understand the meaning?"

After saying that, he opened the sedan curtain and walked towards the inn with a murderous look.

Just when Wu Zetian was holding a knife and preparing to kill her relatives in a righteous way, the men and women in the room were in a state of confusion.

Princess Taiping screamed and lay in the man's arms like a dead fish, breathing heavily.

"I didn't expect you to not only be able to lead the army on horseback and calm the people down, but you are also so good in bed."

The man smiled slightly and placed his palm on Princess Taiping's arm.

"How could I dare to take the risk of coming back to take you to Youzhou if my husband is not so powerful?"

"How about everything at home? Have you packed it up?"

The man was Fan Xin who sneaked back to Luoyang. He originally planned to send someone to pick up Princess Taiping, but later he thought it would be better to come in person. "

Hearing this, Princess Taiping said angrily: "It's not that easy. Our family's income alone this year is 600,000 yuan, not counting the gold and silver bricks you brought back."

"Just wait a few more days. I'll have someone wash the gold and silver with the potion before I go to Youzhou with you."

"Really, why do you think you should leave the good Duke of Yan alone and go back to Youzhou?"

Fan Xin smiled bitterly and said: "The Duke of Yan is a small one, but Youzhou is a big one. If something unexpected happens in the future, we will have a safe place to go.

He did not tell Princess Taiping that Li Longji killed his aunt a few years later in order to become emperor.

Firstly, it was so unbelievable that no one would believe it. Secondly, Li Longji had just established his foothold in Luzhou and had not yet developed the desire to spy on the throne.

Seeing Fan Xin's serious face, Princess Taiping stopped talking and soon spoke with blurry eyes.

"Consort, I still want..."

After all, Fan Xin is a second-level general who assists the country. How could he withstand such a provocation and take action immediately...

Unexpectedly, at the critical moment, the door was kicked open.

Then Wu Zetian appeared at the door with a sword.

"How dare you, a thief, rape the princess, I..."

"Hey, Fan Qing?"

Fan Xin's eyes twitched and he said helplessly: "Your Majesty, please go out first."

"Oh, I'm going out right now."

Wu Zetian smiled awkwardly, glanced at Fan Xin's body before going out, and nodded secretly.

After half a stick of incense, the three of them sat in the room and the atmosphere was extremely strange.

"So, you want to go back to Youzhou to have some leisure time?"

"Your Majesty, I have been tired of going through life and death several times since I entered the officialdom. I still hope for your permission." Fan Xin said with hope.

Wu Zetian was silent for a while, shook his head and sighed.

"Prince-in-law, I know that your ambition is not to be in the court, but the Great Zhou Dynasty has just been established and it is the time when important ministers are needed to take charge."

"You have to work hard for a few more years, and when the great Zhou Dynasty comes, I will definitely let you go back and enjoy the joy of the countryside."

vomit!

Princess Taiping, who was sitting on the bed, suddenly changed her pretty face, covered her mouth and ran towards the bucket, vomiting non-stop.

Seeing this, Fan Xin and Wu Zetian hurriedly stepped forward and patted her back while asking the guards to prepare a sedan chair to return to the palace.

When the imperial doctor came out with the medicine box on his arm, Fan Xin jumped forward and said anxiously.

"Doctor Li, what disease did Taiping suffer from and why did he vomit so much?"

Doctor Li cupped his hands with a smile: "Congratulations to the Duke of Yan, Your Highness, she is very happy."

"What, are you happy?"

Fan Xin was shocked and asked in disbelief.

"Yes, according to the pulse, the fetus in Your Highness's belly should be two months old, and it is very likely that it is twins."

boom!

When Fan Xin's head rang, he felt completely confused.

He didn't expect Princess Taiping to be so ambitious that she gave birth to two twins at once.

This is so exciting!

After coming back to his senses, Fan Xin quickly grabbed a handful of copper coins from his arms and stuffed them into Doctor Li's hand.

"Mr. Li, please pay me a visit. I will personally come to thank you someday!"

"The Duke of Yan made serious remarks. This is what a lower official should do."

After seeing off Dr. Li, Fan Xin went all the way to the palace.

At this time, Princess Taiping was talking to Wu Zetian. When she saw him coming, she snorted and turned her back.

Seeing this scene, Wu Zetian laughed and said to Fan Xin.

"You are so lucky. Taiping was pregnant with two children at once. I just have something to tell you."

Fan Xin smiled coquettishly: "Your Majesty has something to do, but it doesn't hurt to talk about it."

"It's like this. If Taiping gives birth to a baby boy, I want him to take his mother's surname Li, and the remaining surname Fan."

"What do you think?"

In the Tang Dynasty, most people would not be able to accept such excessive requirements unless the children of their parents-in-law would take their mother's surname.

Fan Xin obviously doesn't have this concept. In his eyes, as long as the child is born by himself and has the mother's surname, it doesn't matter.

"I agree that the eldest son will take his mother's surname Li."

After hearing Fan Xin's agreement, Wu Zetian breathed a long sigh of relief and Long Yan said happily.

"That's all, the child is about to be born, and I, the royal grandmother, cannot but express my gratitude."

"Someone has come to draw up an edict to confer the title of Marquis of Yan State, the eldest son of Fan, Li Ci, and lead the governor of Youzhou from afar. He will reward you with ten pairs of pearls at night in the South China Sea, ten pairs of gold and jade, three hundred nannies, and ten thousand taels of gold."

"The second son of the Fan family, regardless of gender, will be rewarded with two hundred taels of silver. I admire this."

quiet!

The room was eerily quiet. Neither Fan Xin nor Princess Taiping expected that Wu Zetian would give such a generous reward to her eldest son.

You must know that even Fan Xin had to go through many life and death situations before he obtained the title of Marquis.

As a result, the child directly caught up with him before he was born.

Could this be the legendary destiny of being born rich?

Fan Xin asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, is the reward for my second son too small?"

Wu Zetian glanced at him and said calmly: "I have so many descendants. Is it possible that each of them needs to be promoted to a higher position?"

"Then Ci'er becomes the governor of Youzhou, what will happen to the minor ministers?"

"Your Governor-General of Youzhou has been dismissed."

Fan Xin......

Since learning that Princess Taiping was pregnant with two children, Wu Zetian's attention apparently shifted to the unborn Li Ci.

At this time, a guard walked into the hall and whispered to Fan Xin.

"General, the envoy sent by the prince wants to see you and is currently waiting in the living room."

"A messenger sent by the prince?"

Fan Xin frowned and watched the emperor, who was talking to his daughter, walk forward.

"Your Majesty, it's getting dark. Please rest in the mansion for the night. I have some official business and I'll go out first."

Wu Zetian glanced at the leaving guards and nodded.

"That's fine, I'll rest at your place for one night."
