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

"Your Majesty, don't worry, I will definitely make this matter a solid case!"

Gao Lishi bowed and left the Wanxiang Shrine, and came to the Neiwei Mansion in a sedan chair.

"My subordinates are here to see Eunuch Gao. The two chamberlains bowed down and prostrated themselves.

"Get up, let's go check out the prison cell."

"Yes, Eunuch Gao."

The two chamberlains got up from the ground and led Gao Lishi through the fence into a secret room.

There was a young man in prison uniform locked inside. When he saw someone coming, he rushed towards him and shook the iron bars desperately.

"Unjustly accused! I really did not participate in the rebellion! Please let me out."

Gao Lishi raised a smile on his lips and motioned for the chamberlain to go out.

When only the young man was left in the cell, he coughed and said meaningfully.

"General Wu, the Za family has a way for you to come out alive. I wonder if you want to hear it."

The young man was stunned and fell to his knees on the ground with a plop.

"I am willing to listen! Father-in-law, save me!"

"Okay, listen carefully, I will only say this once..."

Gao Lishi laughed and stared at the young man with cold eyes.

"Wu Jizhi, your mother, Princess Anle, deserves to die for participating in the palace coup. If you want to survive, there is only one way to go!"

"What way?"

"Use the relationship between your Wu family and Shangguan Wan'er to invite her to White Horse Temple and talk to her according to the words on the paper."

As he spoke, he took out a piece of paper and threw it to the ground. After reading the content on it, Wu Jizhi's expression changed. He suddenly raised his head and looked at Gao Lishi, his voice trembling.

"Father-in-law, you want to kill Shangguan Wan'er and everyone in the Fan family? Are you being too cruel?"

Gao Lishi sneered again and again.

"Prince Yan's palace colluded with Shangguan Wan'er and Princess Taiping to subvert the Tang Dynasty. Why can't they be killed? Do you sympathize with them?"

Sensing the killing intent in Gao Lishi's tone, Wu Jizhi shuddered and quickly shook his head.

"I don't dare. After I'm released from prison, I will definitely follow your instructions and ask Shangguan Wan'er out."

Hearing this, Gao Lishi's expression softened a bit and he smiled.

"Master Wu, you are a smart man and should know the consequences of betraying the imperial court. Of course, with Shangguan Wan'er's wisdom, you alone are far from enough."

"The Za family has found helpers for you, and they will work with you to seduce Shangguan Wan'er!"

"Go ahead, don't betray the Za family's trust in you." Gao Lishi turned around and waved his hand.

After giving a salute to Gao Lishi, Wu Jizhi took the paper and walked out of the prison.

The bright sun made him unable to open his eyes, and it took him a long time to get used to it.

"I'm sorry Wan'er, I'm forced to do nothing."

Keeping the contents of the paper firmly in mind, Wu Jizhi strode out of the palace.

……

Zhonglie Mansion.

"Hee hee, the eagle is catching the chicken!" In the yard, a girl in yellow clothes opened her two fat arms to protect several children behind her. "

Wei Yuanzhong stood in front of the girl with a grimace and tried to catch the child, but was kicked by the girl.

Instead of being angry, he picked up the girl and laughed.

"Haha, caught it!"

"Humph, Grandpa Wei is so mean!" The girl pouted and grabbed Wei Yuanzhong's beard, causing the old man to scream in pain.

Seeing this scene, Di Guangyuan, Xu Lan, Wang Xiaojie, Lou Shide and others laughed loudly and cursed Wei Yuanzhong as he deserved it.

Princess Taiping's expression changed, and she quickly stepped forward to hold her daughter in her arms, apologizing to Wei Yuanzhong, who waved his hands indifferently.

"Your Highness is too worried. It's too late for me to like you. How can you blame the princess?"

"You think so, little girl?"

The girl nodded her head and said childishly: "Grandpa Wei is the best."

Suddenly everyone laughed again.

After the laughter, Wei Yuanzhong wiped the tears from his eyes and looked at Shangguan Wan'er sitting at the table, sighing with emotion.

"Things in the world are unpredictable. Who would have thought that we, the former ministers, would be dismissed from office? Looking back on it is like a dream."

"Haha, Wei Zhongcheng wants to return to the imperial court again."

Shangguan Wan'er put down her brush and said with a smile.

Although she did not marry Fan Xin, she was the well-deserved number three figure in Prince Yan's palace, and her status was no worse than anyone else.

Wei Yuanzhong shook his head, with a look of sadness in his eyes.

"I am already old, and I am full of energy but not strong enough. If it weren't for King Yan's love and asking me to teach at White Deer Academy, I might not even have a place to stay."

"Yes, it's okay for us old guys to be dismissed from office. Miss Shangguan is at the age when she can make a lot of achievements. It would be a pity to be idle at home," Wang Xiaojie agreed.

Shangguan Wan'er's beautiful eyes darkened, and the jade fingers hidden in her sleeves clenched slightly.

Shangguan Wan'er has been obsessed with power all her life, but due to bad luck, her country was taken over by Li Longji. She had no choice but to hide in Prince Yan's Mansion and make a living by painting and calligraphy.

Seeing that several people were still looking at her, Shangguan Wan'er forced herself to cheer up and smiled.

"A few Zhuguo were joking. It's a blessing that the little girl can save her life. I don't dare to think any more."

At this time, a guard walked into the courtyard and whispered to Shangguan Wan'er.

"Miss Shangguan, a young man sent you a letter from the concierge, saying he is the son of an old friend."

"The son of an old friend?" Shangguan Wan'er was startled, apologized to the old guys, and returned to the room alone.

After Li Longji became emperor, she could not remember any old friends still alive in the world.

The envelope is a common butter paper on the market, and the content on it is only a few sentences.

"Tomorrow at a quarter of noon, we will meet at the White Horse Temple Zen Room, signed by Princess Anle."

Looking at the letter signed by Princess Anle, Shangguan Wan'er's pretty face kept changing.

Princess Anle had already died in the coup. Who was pretending to be her and asking her to meet him?

Could it be...

Shangguan Wan'er was shocked, and a young man wearing white clothes and a dignified appearance appeared in her mind.

Wu Jizhi!

As soon as this name appeared, Shangguan Wan'er was immediately shocked.

When Princess Anle and Crown Princess Wei were killed, the former once begged herself to take good care of her son.

It's just that the situation was too chaotic at the time, and Wu Jizhi had disappeared by the time he went to find him.

Now that it suddenly appeared, she felt caught off guard.

However, Shangguan Wan'er knew that Princess Anle had hidden a batch of gold and silver jewelry before her death to win over ministers.

If I get it myself, wouldn’t I not have to worry about it for the rest of my life?

With this thought, Shangguan Wan'er decided to take the risk and go to the White Horse Temple to see if the person she was dating was the son of Princess Anle.

One night passed, Shangguan Wan'er came to the dining hall early, where Princess Taiping and Princess Yinzhu were already waiting.

Everyone was stunned when they saw her dressed up.

"Sister Shangguan, why are you dressed so neatly at home?"

"To be fair to Sister Taiping, my sister had a dream last night. She dreamed that King Yan was injured while fighting on the front line. Therefore, she planned to go to White Horse Temple to burn incense and pray to Buddha to protect the prince's safety."
