My subjects are too rebellious!

After the two men left, Qin Chuan sat on the dragon throne feeling a little depressed.

He didn't know why, perhaps it was due to the influence of the original owner's memory.

From last night till now, all I could think about was Wu Zetian crying and complaining.

Such mood swings made him feel a little upset.

Zhang Rang and Wu Zhengxiang, who were standing on both sides, naturally noticed Qin Chuan's abnormality.

The two of them lowered their heads in tacit understanding, their eyes looking at their noses and their noses looking at their hearts.

Looking at the appearance of the shoe upper, it seemed as if there was some rare treasure on it that attracted them.

Just at this moment, a young eunuch at the door came to report.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Rang hurried forward to ask, then came back with a bitter look on his face.

"His Majesty..."

Qin Chuan glanced at Zhang Rang and said in a bad tone, "What's the matter?"

"Shangguan Wan'er requests to see His Majesty."

After Zhang Rang finished speaking, he looked up at Qin Chuan cautiously.

Qin Chuan stroked his chin and thought for a while.

"Let her in."

After a while, Shangguan Wan'er, dressed as a scholar, walked in.

He looked just like a pale-faced scholar, and his every move was full of elegance and grace, but his eyes were unusually melancholy.

After seeing Qin Chuan, he immediately knelt down and said, "Your Majesty! Please go see the Queen."

"The Queen...she..."

Qin Chuan unconsciously asked nervously: "What's wrong with her? Tell me quickly."

Shangguan Wan'er said in a tearful voice, "After His Majesty left last night, the Empress sat in the garden without saying a word."

"She sat like that all night. No matter how the servants tried to persuade her, the Queen didn't say a word."

"Until now, the Queen has not had a single drop of water. Please, Your Majesty, go see the Queen!"

Hearing this, Qin Chuan felt inexplicably irritated.

He didn't know what was bothering him, but he still stood up, without saying a word, and walked hurriedly towards the Weiyang Palace.

"His Majesty?"

"His Majesty?"

Zhang Rang and Wu Zhengxiang, who had reacted behind him, also hurriedly followed.

"My lady, His Majesty still cares about you."

Shangguan Wan'er looked at Qin Chuan's back, tears streaming down her face, and chased after him.

...

"Long live His Majesty..."

"Be quiet! Everyone, get out!"

The palace maids and eunuchs in the Weiyang Palace knelt down in panic and prepared to pay their respects to Qin Chuan, but were rudely driven away by Qin Chuan.

Qin Chuan walked straight towards the back garden. After taking a few steps inside, he saw the woman sitting beside the flowers.

"You...Queen, are you okay?"

When Wu Zetian heard the voice that she had been thinking about, she quickly turned around and looked back.

At this sight, Qin Chuan was stunned.

The Wu Zetian who originally had a noble temperament, was otherworldly, and was dressed in luxurious clothes.

Those lips, which were once delicate and beautiful, were now pale and dry.

That extremely delicate face now looked extremely melancholy, with a pair of dull eyes.

She was showing a hint of sadness, and at this moment she closed her lips tightly, looking at Qin Chuan without saying a word.

Qin Chuan couldn't bear it, so he took a few steps forward and got closer to her.

"Queen, why are you doing this?"

But she still didn't speak.

After hesitating for a while, Qin Chuan stared into her eyes, his tone sounding somewhat vicissitudes of life.

"I once thought that among all the myriad things in the world, there are only three things I love."

"The sun and the moon are with you. The sun is for the morning, the moon is for the evening, and you are with me from morning to evening."

Hearing this, Wu Zetian's empty eyes actually shone with hope.

But then, Qin Chuan continued.

"But I never thought that among all the worldly things, there are only three things that cannot be found: the moon in the water, the flower in the mirror, and you in my dreams."

"You can ask for the moon, you can get the flowers, but you cannot get it."

"I finally understood that love has always been a waste of time, and good dreams are the easiest to wake up from."

"We will never meet again after parting, and I will end up spending my years alone."

Upon hearing this, Wu Zetian's face turned extremely pale, and her eyes were filled with tears.

Qin Chuan continued to talk to himself: "That day, the day I first arrived."

"When I knew you were my queen, I was actually happy, but..."

"But one day, one of your men tried to poison me."

"I almost died at the hands of a few eunuchs."

"Do you know how angry I was at that time? I am an emperor! An emperor should have a way to die, but... but they actually poisoned me."

After hearing this, Wu Zetian finally understood why Qin Chuan suddenly hated her.

After she figured it out, she actually laughed.

"Your Majesty, have you already believed that this poison was administered by me?"

"If it were me, would Your Majesty really be able to survive until now?"

"If it were me, why would I send those idiots over there?"

"If it were me, Your Majesty, do you really think I wouldn't have any backup plan?"

"In your majesty's heart, am I really a vicious woman who does all kinds of evil?"

As she spoke, Wu Zetian could no longer hold back, her nose twitched and her long eyelashes trembled slightly.

Transparent tears flowed down her beautiful cheeks.

She couldn't understand when she became so humble.

Qin Chuan's heart began to struggle at this moment, and there seemed to be two little people pulling each other in his mind.

A little white man said: Forgive her, maybe she is right, it really is not her.

The other little red man said: "Forgive me? If she says it's not her, then it's not her. Don't forget, the more beautiful a woman is, the more likely she is to lie."

But when Qin Chuan saw her crying pitifully, he finally softened his heart.

He walked forward, held her in his arms, and patted her back gently.

Wu Zetian, who was originally crying quietly, cried even louder when she felt someone holding her in his arms.

It seemed as if he was venting all his grievances.

After a long time, the crying finally stopped, but the woman in his arms was unwilling to leave this warm embrace.

Greedily sniffing this extremely familiar smell.

But Qin Chuan couldn't help it, he lifted her chin, looked straight into her eyes, and asked solemnly.

"Answer me, have you really never poisoned me?"

"I want to hear the truth. If you lie to me, I will never forgive you again."

Wu Zetian also looked directly into Qin Chuan's eyes without dodging.

"not me."

Looking at the pride in her eyes, Qin Chuan believed it.

Yes, even Wu Zetian in previous history never poisoned the man she loved.

"But if it wasn't you, who in the harem could order the eunuchs to kill me?"

Qin Chuan looked at the Kunning Palace in the distance and said to himself.

Wu Zetian followed his line of sight and whispered, "It's not her."

"Why."

"Because she would not betray the late emperor, let alone kill the late emperor's son."

The enemy knows the enemy best.

But this made Qin Chuan feel troubled. Who could it be?

If it’s not inside the palace, could it be outside the palace?

Zhu Di? Wu Sangui? Dong Zhuo? Sima Yi? Or...

I have no clue at all. Alas, perhaps I can only wait for the person behind this to make a move again before I can find out anything.

Wu Zetian seemed to understand Qin Chuan's thoughts and spoke in a harsh tone.

"If I knew who was behind this plot to frame me..."

Before she could finish, Qin Chuan stretched out a finger to stop her from saying the next word.

"Don't get involved in these fighting and killings in the future."

"Leave it to me. You are my wife. I will definitely seek justice for you."

"I am not a bloodthirsty person, but I am not a good person either."

"But if you are in love with me, I wish that you and I will be a perfect couple from now on."

"I wish we could be a pair of flying geese, never parting for a hundred years."

At this moment, the domineering Wu Zetian disappeared, and was replaced by the charming Wu Meiniang.

"In the past I wished us, and in the future I wish you and me."

"We are all fine."

The two of them snuggled up to each other and hugged each other, feeling each other's warmth and enjoying the tenderness of the moment.

In the distance, Zhang Rang and the other two didn't dare to make any noise, for fear of disturbing the warm moment of these two ruthless men.

However, what no one noticed was that Shangguan Wan'er's smiling face was actually a little bitter.

It seems like, love but cannot be obtained?
