[Wu Zetian] Queen's Road

Chapter 24 Queen 02

"Gu... that's not what I meant..." Li Hong saw the other party's half-smile, and knew that he must be angry. He quickly took out a small scroll from his sleeve, and took off a jade pendant from his waist. Come on, put them together in Li Sanlang's hands, and said solemnly: "Aniang and I can't trust you, Li Lang, but the current situation in the court is treacherous. After all, Erlang is new to the reserve position. I'm afraid of him..." Suffering !

After Li Sanlang took the scroll and jade pendant, he stuffed them into his sleeve without asking what they meant.

Li Hong can also be regarded as the child he watched grow up, how could Li Sanlang not understand his unfinished words.

but……

Now, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not a good person to get along with. It is impossible for anyone to lose money because of him!

Even though he was thinking this way in his heart, Li Sanlang still put on a gentle smile on his face, and assured Li Hong: "This humble minister will definitely live up to the entrustment of the Queen of Heaven."

After finishing speaking, Li Sanlang mentioned Wu Minzhi who had already returned to Chang'an to attend the funeral for Mrs. Rong Guo.

Wu Minzhi got married last year, and went all the way south to Guangling without even taking her wedding leave.

Although he himself is young, he has a high position and authority, and he has military achievements, so he quickly overwhelmed all the subordinates in Nandu.

Originally, the work of the naval training camp was going very smoothly. If there were no accidents, the new military training would be able to see the results in August, but at this time, Mrs. Yang passed away.

Wu Minzhi is the direct grandson of the Yang family, and he had to come back to attend the funeral. Even the descendants of the Wu brothers who had been exiled in Lingnan for many years were also called back...

Few people know about the past between the Wu family and Tianhou back then.

And Li Hong was still young at that time, although he vaguely remembered that his cousin Wu had a very gentle mother and a very beautiful sister, but then the mother and daughter disappeared suddenly, and Li Hong almost forgot about it. After all, there were still two people like this...

Later, there were some strange rumors in the palace, about Mrs. Han and Mrs. Wei Guo.

However, Li Hong didn't believe a word.

Everyone can see his father's affection for his mother, so how could he do such absurd things?

And the second brother...

As soon as Li Hong thought of those stupid words from the harem, his face involuntarily turned gloomy.

Seeing his expression, Li Sanlang simply didn't open his mouth to recruit him, but sat aside and squinted his eyes and just drank tea by himself.

The two of them sat there for quite a while, speechless. In the end, it was Li Sanlang who saw that it was getting late, and took the initiative to say goodbye.

"Dalang, don't think too much about these trivial matters, there are two saints watching over everything... Besides, no matter how bad it is, the salary of this humble official is not for nothing!"

Before leaving, Li Sanlang couldn't help smiling and said something to Li Hong, which was tantamount to giving the latter a reassurance.

No one knows better than Li Hong what Mr. Li's methods are. It is such a gentle and harmless man who turned his hands into clouds and rain, and wiped out Chu Suiliang and his group of veteran officials without bloodshed. Father can control the world alone; it is this man who smiles like a fox, infiltrated into Tubo's interior as a scholar, planted spies, and finally helped Datang eliminate the biggest neighbor in the west...

Sometimes Li Hong even doubted, what else in this world can't be done by this man?

Li Sanlang bid farewell to Li Hong with a smile, but when he came out, his face sank, his expression was very ugly.

In fact, when Li Hong mentioned the real physical condition of His Majesty the Emperor to him, he already had a very uneasy feeling in his heart.

There is nothing wrong with Tianhou and Wei Shuyu in Dongdu, but it is hard to say in Chang'an...

Compared with his elder brother who has been the crown prince for more than ten years, Li Xian's foundation is not too stable. Even if the second sage chose a new leadership team before, it would be difficult to adjust for a while...

If His Majesty the Emperor had any accidents at this time, the consequences would be disastrous!

Li Sanlang hated that when he analyzed the situation, he forgot to consider the emperor's physical condition...

Both the Ersheng and the former Donggong have their own solid teams, but the new prince does not.

If he guessed right, the two things Da Lang gave him today are tokens that can gather power for the East Palace as soon as possible!

This is really a hot potato...

Right now, all the people in the court, Li Sanlang is the only one who has the guts to take over!

However, thinking of every time he cleaned up the mess for Li Hong in the past, the look on his face softened a bit.

========================================================================================================== ==================================================== =============

Chang'an, Daming Palace, Jinluan Palace.

It was almost midnight, and the main hall was still brightly lit.

The palace servants and servants who were waiting were like puppets, as if they hadn't even breathed.

In the whole hall, only the voice of His Highness the Crown Prince flipping through Zezi could be heard...

I don't know how long it took, a young servant standing behind Li Xian winked at the palace servants on the other side, and the two palace servants immediately understood and retreated in small steps.

After about a meal, the two palace servants came back with a snack box each.

"Erlang, how about some supper?" The young servant was obviously Li Xian's confidant, even though Li Xian had been the crown prince for several months, he still didn't change his words.

Hearing this, Li Xian put down the porridge in his hand, looked over, and saw that the two palace servants had already placed refreshments on the small table below.

The pastries of Jinluandian are not inferior to those of Zichendian. They are not only delicious, but also very delicate in appearance.

Just looking at this, Li Xian felt a throbbing in his stomach...

Sure enough, it's wrong to waste sleep and food.

Li Xian couldn't help thinking of what his mother had said to his elder brother: people are like iron and rice is like steel, if you don't eat a meal, you will get hungry.The body is the capital of the revolution, so if you lose your life, can you manage other things?

Although Wu Xu's words were blunt and vulgar, Li Xian felt that it was not against peace at all.

Look at his father, and look at his elder brother, they are all typical models who have been criticized upright!

While Li Xian was thinking, he let the palace people wait for him to clean his hands, and then slowly finished the refreshments brought up.

Seeing that Li Xian stopped looking at Zezi after finishing his refreshments, the young servant went to rest instead, he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief.

Of course it is good for the prince to work hard, but it is not worth the loss if he breaks his body just because of hard work...

The previous Crown Prince Hong, what a good prince he was, what happened... Alas!

The young servant sighed in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, ordering the palace staff of the Golden Luan Palace to serve His Highness the Crown Prince to bed in an orderly manner.

Li Xian has been in charge of the East Palace for several months, but he still lives in the Jinluan Hall of Daming Palace. Although some officials of the East Palace privately complained about this matter, they were all dismissed by Li Xian with the excuse of "sad brother" It's -- after all, this Golden Palace is his territory!

His Majesty Li Xiaojiu didn't have any objections after knowing this, instead he moved the office of the Imperial Academy to the west of the Jinluan Hall, so that his son could summon his ministers at any time.

Therefore, none of the people serving Li Xian in the Golden Luan Palace moved their nests, nor did they see any other palace servants coming in. Everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and they were even more loyal to Li Xian...

How could Li Xian not know the careful thoughts of these people in his palace, but he stayed in the Jinluan Palace not only because the Jinluan Palace was cleaned up like an iron bucket, it was his own territory, but also because he didn't want to go to the East Palace at all.

Yes, he doesn't want to live in the East Palace.

That place was an ominous place, the nightmare of his life...

Li Xian closed his eyes, recalling some memories of his previous life involuntarily in his mind.

At that time, it was in the East Palace, the East Palace of Daming Palace.

The boy he loves the most swears his loyalty to him and promises to help him eliminate his troubles...

Then, Ming Chongyan died...

Then, Pei Yan and Xue Yuanchao came...

Those armors hidden in the stables of the East Palace were discovered...

He did not say a word of "injustice" during the joint trial of the nine divisions.

As a son, wanting to kill his biological mother is indeed a sin worthy of death!

And his mother never thought of killing him from the beginning to the end, they are all those villains...

Li Xian still remembers the resentment of the previous life before his death.

In this life, he will never make the same mistake again!

In the darkness, the young Crown Prince revealed a smile of determination.

======================= Luoyang Dividing Line ============================= ==================================================== ====

In June of the ninth year of Xianqing, the Queen of Heaven's phoenix body recovered and returned to court immediately.

Wu Xu's delivery this time can be regarded as suffering a lot. According to Mr. Sun, after this delivery, she must not have any more children, otherwise her life will be in danger...

Wu Xu didn't feel much about the fact that she couldn't have another child—hey, she's already had enough, okay?

On the contrary, Wu Xu was a little worried about the diagnosis of His Majesty Li Xiaojiu.

Although Wu Xu has helped share the political affairs in the past few years, the burden on Li Xiaojiu has not been relieved at all.

You must know that the territory of the Tang Dynasty today is nearly twice as large as that of Gaozu's time. The folk customs of different places are very different, and the ethnic groups are mixed. I don't know how many things will happen every day. very busy...

Wu Xu was very concerned about Li Xiaojiu's diet and rest, but Li Zhi was so delicate and thoughtful, he liked to think twice about everything, so after a few years, he didn't know how much his mind wasted.

That's all, but Li Xiaojiu is very good at pretending. Wu Xu has been sleeping with him for so many years, and he has never found out that there is something wrong with him, until this outbreak...

Wu Xu didn't hear any rumors during her confinement period. Li Hong and Xiao Sanniang kept her a secret. She didn't realize that something was wrong until Xiao Siniang was full moon...

"What is the situation of the Emperor?" Wu Xu managed to distract Li Hong and Xiao Sanniang away, and immediately brought Ming Chongyan to the palace to torture him severely.

Wu Xu is not an idiot, Mr. Sun and Xiao Sanniang have been guarding her these days, so Ming Chongyan is probably in charge of Li Xiaojiu.

What's more, Dalang and Sanniang always find various excuses to prevent Ming Chongyan from coming to see him. Wu Xu may not guess so quickly that this matter may be related to the kid who likes to pretend to be a Taoist priest!

"Don't worry about the Empress, the Emperor is fine..." This made Ming Chongyan feel guilty.

Ever since he was 'invited' by the former prince Li Hong into the Zhaoming Palace to treat His Majesty the Emperor in private, Ming Chongyan was worried every day that he would not be able to see the sun the next day.

No one knows the emperor's condition better than him...

Excessive energy consumption, the appearance of a young life!

But how dare he say this, he can only say it after perfunctory first.

But Wu Xu is such an easy-to-deceive person, not to mention that he has followed Li Xiaojiu Yuyu for many years, and his ability to perceive words and emotions has improved to a higher level, but that every time she asks about Li Xiaojiu in the past few days, her family Dalang and Sanniang will take care of her. In terms of him, this is really too suspicious!

Wu Xu has nothing to do with her own children, but she is not so easy to talk to outsiders.

"Ming Chongyan, I always knew that you were a smart person..." The Queen of Heaven's face was very beautiful at that time, but this beautiful face was full of murderous looks at the moment, which made someone's heart jump.

"It's... the Queen of Heaven..." In the end, Xiao Ming, who was 'greedy for life and afraid of death', told him everything he knew like a bamboo tube pouring beans.

Wu Xu became angrier the more she listened, her pretty face turned from white to blue, from blue to black...

At the end of the hearing, Wu Xu almost jumped up against the case, and said angrily to Ming Chongyan: "You guys are hiding such an important matter from me!"

When Ming Chongyan heard the words, he almost shrank into a ball, how could he dare to defend himself.

Wu Xu felt like a big fire was burning inside her chest and abdomen, which made her unable to sit still, and could only pace back and forth on the couch restlessly.

Li Xiaojiu's health is very bad, this is Wu Xu's deep-rooted impression, so Wu Xu has been paying special attention to taking care of him in the past few years, even when she was conquering Japan, she never slacked off, who knows...

This world is peaceful, but instead he fell ill...

Could it be that she didn't have enough butterflies, and Li Xiaojiu still had to die early due to illness? !

Thinking of this, Wu Xu involuntarily clenched his hands, his whole body was as stiff as a rock!

she doesn't want to...

I don't want to go through the pain of losing someone closest to me again!

When Shijiuer passed away, she was powerless because she was too weak!

Now, she is already the lord of the empire alongside Li Xiaojiu, can't she change her destiny? !

"Is there no way?" Wu Xu seemed to be talking to himself, but also seemed to be asking Ming Chongyan who was lying on the ground.

Her whisper echoed in the empty hall, and it sounded very bleak...

When Ming Chongyan heard Wu Xu's words, he couldn't help raising his head, and replied loudly: "The Queen of Heaven, there is a way, but the Emperor insists on refusing!"

Hearing this, Wu Xu's eyes that were out of focus immediately lit up, she almost stepped in front of Ming Chongyan, grabbed the latter's skirt, and lifted him up...

"Say it!"

Ming Chongyan was about to speak, when suddenly the door of the palace behind him was knocked open, and Awei rushed in with a pale face, threw himself in front of Wu Xu and shouted: "Tianhou, it's not good... someone Forcing the emperor to abolish the empress!"

The author has something to say: So what, Li Xiaojiu won't hang up =. =
