[Wu Zetian] Queen's Road

No.16 Chapter Changed to Yuan 13

If it is an ordinary woman, upon hearing such a solemn promise from His Majesty Li Xiaojiu, the king of a country, she will probably very sensibly express that she will trust the saint wholeheartedly.

Mouth...

But student Xiao Wu is not an ordinary woman. In other words, she has never considered these things with a woman's thinking. An otaku also has the power of action and blood. You can't forget how to fight back just because you are used to laziness.

"The sage's golden words, I shouldn't have questioned..." Wu Xu said to Li Zhi seriously: "But this matter, I hope you can let me decide once..."

"Mei Niang..."

"Give me your people, and I'll check it myself!" Wu Xu looked at Li Zhi and said word by word, "I know you have a private army, so give me their command temporarily."

Li Zhi couldn't help laughing bitterly when he heard the words, "What kind of soldiers are those of me..."

"Since you have said so, how could I refuse you...forget it!" Li Zhi took out a jade pendant from his bosom and handed it to Wu Xu's palm.

"If you want someone, ask A Cui, this jade pendant is a token..."

Wu Xu took the jade pendant and put it in her sleeve without looking at it carefully.

His Majesty Li Xiaojiu's expression suddenly turned dark.

"Meiniang, I really hope you can trust me more..."

Wu Xu couldn't help but glanced at the young man when he heard the words, and said calmly: "I already trust you..." Otherwise, who the hell is full and has nothing to do to give birth to you? !

"Just let go of what you want to do now, I will not hold you back, and I will protect myself..."

Wu Xu knew that Li Zhi had been under a lot of pressure recently. The "canonization of concubine Chen" a while ago was not only Li Zhi's attempt to give her lover a name, but also Li Zhi's intention to test the attitude of the courtiers towards the aristocratic family.

The result was unsatisfactory.

Of course Wu Xu would not be short-sighted and hold on to this matter. In terms of his attitude towards the aristocratic family, Wu Xu absolutely supported Li Xiaojiu.

The Yang family sighed to her more than once about the prosperity of the Yang family in the Sui Dynasty, but what happened?

The aristocratic family has been standing in the world for hundreds of years. They are as strong as Wei Wudi, as smart as Sui Wendi, and as convulsive as the first emperor. They all have the intention of suppressing the aristocratic family. , while guarding against a single family becoming big...

Li Xiaojiu's plans are very big, and he has not even revealed his thoughts to anyone, but Wu Xu can understand his thoughts...

There is a strange tacit understanding between them, almost without words, you can guess what the other is thinking...

And Li Zhi often has this strange feeling, as if his Mei Niang is a little boy who hasn't grown up. Although he doesn't have the ability of an adult man, he has the pride that a man should have...

She was never as frail as she looked!

"Meiniang, I won't interfere with what you want to do, but there is one thing you must promise me..." Li Zhi looked at Wu Xu's dark eyes, always feeling a little uneasy.

"You have to remember to take good care of yourself, about the little Sanniang...you'd better wait until you're fully recovered before looking into it..." Li Zhi couldn't help but choke up when he mentioned the words "Xiao Sanniang".

Wu Xu said, "I'm fine now. It's not appropriate to delay this matter, so let's settle it quickly!"

Speaking of this, Wu Xu thought of something, "You should control all the people involved in this matter, right? Has someone been silenced already?"

Hearing this, Li Zhi couldn't help laughing bitterly, he knew that these things must not be hidden from Ah Wu.

"Yes, two palace servants died, Mrs. Helan said that one of them was from the Queen's Palace..."

Wu Xu didn't wait for Li Zhi to finish, and asked, "What about the other one? Could it be Concubine Xiao's?"

"Even if it's not right, it's not far..." Li Zhi couldn't help pinching Wu Xu's hand, and said with a smile, "The other palace lady is actually a big palace maid serving Shiro..."

Hearing this, Wu Xu couldn't help laughing, "What a coincidence!"

"Who does the saint think did it?"

Li Zhi didn't answer directly, but said: "No matter who did it, those two women can't get away with it..."

Wu Xu glanced at Li Zhi, but said nothing.

She is not the Holy Mother, so naturally she will not say righteously and solemnly that she will never wrong a good person or something!

How many people in this harem can be regarded as good people?

Even Xu Xiaomei, Wu Xu didn't dare to trust her like he believed in Xu Hui back then, and people like Concubine Liu and Zheng Jieyu, despite their honest and honest appearance on weekdays, who would know what they were thinking?

Wu Xu didn't speak, and Li Zhi didn't mention anything else.

The two sat snuggled together for a while in silence, then Wu Xu suddenly said, "I want to see off the third lady..."

Underage children cannot be buried with their parents when they die. Li Mingda unfortunately died in the Xinggong Palace back then. He was supposed to be buried in Cuiwei Palace. It was Wu Xu who begged His Majesty Li Er to bring her body back to Chang'an anyway. Buried under the small pagoda next to Guizhen Temple opposite Anren Hall...

Now that the little Sanniang died young, Wu Xu certainly didn't want her child to be too far away from her. If she could be buried under the pagoda and be with Li Mingda as a companion, that would be fine...

Thinking of Li Mingda from the little Sanniang, Wu Xu's tears couldn't stop falling...

Li Zhi felt as if his heart was pierced by a knife, he put his arms around Wu Xu, hesitant to speak.

"Little Sanniang hasn't been buried yet, right? Let me see her again..." Wu Xu quickly wiped away tears, and said to Li Zhi, "Where is Little Sanniang now?"

Hearing this, Li Zhi's face suddenly became very ugly, he hesitated and said: "Awu... this... little Sanniang is... gone..."

"You... what do you mean?!" Wu Xu's face changed after hearing this.

She had heard before that the corpses of people who contracted the plague or some strange poisons would be burned after death. Could it be that her little girl was also...

How is this possible? !

Although modern people are used to the setting of cremation after death, in this era, they all believe in the saying that "it is safe to go to the ground". Except for those eminent monks who would use cremation for Nirvana, other people, especially the royal family, are most taboo about cremation. Because they believe that they will continue to enjoy the wealth and honor of the underworld after death, and the body of the underworld must be kept intact, put in a luxurious mausoleum built, and buried with all kinds of utensils used in the underworld...

As a monarch recognized by the courtiers and the world, its symbol is that the Ministry of Rites requested the construction of its mausoleum...

His Majesty Li Xiaojiu's Qianling Mausoleum was built at the end of the third year of Yonghui. It is estimated that the foundation of the mausoleum has not yet been laid...

Wu Xu knew that none of Li Xiaojiu's children who died before could be buried in Qianling, but they all had their own small tombs, so why couldn't Xiao Sanniang have one?

Wu Xu's grief-stricken gaze made His Majesty Li Xiaojiu feel as if there was a thorn in his back, but he could only grit his teeth not to look at his lover's face, and still said vaguely: "Little Sanniang has gone... What's the difference between seeing or not seeing her?"

"Awu, don't add to your sorrow, but think about how to solve the current situation!"

"What's going on right now?" Wu Xu repeated Li Zhi's words, and immediately understood what he meant.

Queen Wang and Concubine Xiao were suddenly placed under house arrest, and the courtiers would definitely not let it go. If Wu Xu could not find out something, Li Zhi would not be able to take this opportunity to get rid of the two...

"Jiulang, what are you trying to do?" Wu Xu couldn't help pinching His Majesty Li Xiaojiu's arm, and said grimly, "Could it be that you are already planning to turn against your uncle?"

If Changsun Wuji objected, it would be harder for Li Zhi to abolish the empress than ascend to the sky!

Besides, there is Chu Suiliang, the Minister Gu Ming who claims to be the queen's protector!

There are also queens such as Liu Shi, Han Sui, and Lai Ji, but they are not easy to get along with!

Wu Xu felt that Li Xiaojiu's decision was a bit hasty.

I don't want to, although His Majesty Li Xiaojiu was screaming at Wu Xu's pinch, he said firmly, "Awu, just wait and see, within two years, I will make you the mistress of the Tai Chi Palace!"

"The concubine will wait and see!"

Both of them are not the kind of people who can only be sad and sad. Once they have a goal, they will only work hard to achieve it.

But in a few days, Wu Xu used the servant Cui to find out a lot of things, including some old events when His Majesty Li Er was still alive.

Although the two dead palace people were from Anren Palace and Yanjia Palace respectively, after further investigation, it was found that these two people were actually from the same batch of Ye Ting Palace, and initially worked in Li Xiaojiu's Qianqiu Palace. At that time, she was sent by Wang Shi, who was still the concubine of Jin, to serve Liu Shi and Zheng Shi.

Later, when Li Zhi became the crown prince, everyone in the Qianqiu Palace moved to the East Palace, and these two palace people were sent to serve the Yang family...

Until His Majesty Li Xiaojiu came to the throne, these two people were kept in their palace by the queen because of their seniority and hard work...

Obviously, the palace man next to Shiro was a spy sent by Queen Wang.

However, if it was said that Concubine Xiao was not aware of this matter, Wu Xu would not believe it.

Regardless of whether Concubine Xiao Gui was implicated innocently in this incident, or deliberately threw the spies out as cannon fodder, Wu Xu believed that there was something tricky in Yanjia Palace!

After investigation, it was found that there was indeed a problem with Yanjia Palace.

Concubine Xiao Gui hid a jar of poisoned wine in her bedroom!

The poison contained in this thing is very similar to the poison carried by the poisonous bird feather found on Xiao Helan's body. According to Wang Taiyi's identification, the poison of the two is very similar, but the poison on the bird feather is not soaked , but the bird that the feather belongs to itself is highly poisonous...

Therefore, the possibility that Xiao Guifei poisoned her feathers with poisoned wine can be ruled out for the time being.

However, the concubine's concubine's private possession of poisoned wine is already enough to make Concubine Xiao irreparable...

No matter who Concubine Xiao Gui wants to use poisonous wine against, she has no chance!

It's just that Wu Xu doesn't have the energy to care about Concubine Xiao's conspiracy for the time being. She is currently very interested in a small incident that happened two months ago in the Queen's Palace...

It should be when she and Li Xiaojiu went to the Wannian Palace to escape the summer heat. The guards outside the Anren Palace said that a palace official was lost in the Queen's Palace...

Not dead or sent away, but disappeared out of thin air!

However, it is very strange that there is not a single palace official missing in the palace...

Another piece of news said that a few days before the flood in the Wannian Palace, the Queen closed the palace door tightly all day long, and asked the imperial hospital for a lot of cinnabar, and she didn't know what she was doing...

In addition, during the period when His Majesty Li Xiaojiu was not in the Taiji Palace, Queen Wang Cheng summoned her uncle Liu Shi many times, and took advantage of her power to ask Liu Shi to enter the palace...

Wu Xu studied these trivial news for a long time, but she didn't understand what Queen Wang was doing, and she couldn't figure out where she got that poisonous bird feather!

Or, neither Queen Wang nor Concubine Xiao did this?

Who will be the murderer behind the scenes?

Concubine Liu?Zheng Jieyu?Yang Meiren?Or the bunch of new Baolins?

Wu Xu couldn't help picking up a pen, and unconsciously listed a few key words of clues found so far on the paper...

And Yang saw Wu Xu scratching on the paper, which seemed to be practicing calligraphy but not like it, so she came over to take a look.

As a result, Yang saw Wu Xu writing words such as 'cinnabar', 'peach wood' and 'silver needle' on the paper at a glance. Confused! Using the technique of disgusting victory is an unforgivable crime of treason!"

The author has something to say: the countdown to Queen Wang's resignation =. =

ps: It’s not me who said Xiao Sanniang died, but Li Xiaojiu, if you want to smash bricks, hit him =, =
