Confidante Saisuke

The Tang army led by Li Xian finally drove the Turks back to the grassland after more than a month in Youzhou.Because of this battle, Li Xian's prestige among the people increased greatly.After the Tang Army squadron returned to the court, Wu Zhao held a feast in the Zichen Palace to reward the generals.Needless to say, at the banquet, there were singing, singing, dancing, drinking and dancing.Even when Li Xian was the emperor, he was not elated tonight, so he couldn't help but feel a little elated.

Wu Zhao intentionally caught Shangguan Jinger by surprise, and withdrew from the banquet when it was halfway through, and arranged for the palace servants to watch Shangguan Jinger, and let her come to Tongming Hall once she left.Shangguan Jing'er socialized with the ministers, then she pretended to be overwhelmed and left the table.Walking out from the side door of the main hall, Shangguan Jing'er was about to return home when she was told by the palace servants that Wu Zhao asked her to go to Tongming Hall.

Shangguan Jing'er thought that Wu Zhao was asking her to fulfill her previous promise.Although she repelled getting close to Wu Zhao in her heart, since Wu Zhao agreed to her request, she could only follow the agreement.Just, why so hasty?Shangguan Jing'er looked up at the clear moon in the sky, Xuancheng must be waiting in the mansion for her to go back, she couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.Sure enough, you can't have your cake and eat it too.

Shangguan Jing'er walked all the way to the entrance of Tongming Hall, the maid opened the door for her, and Shangguan Jing'er walked in.Wu Zhao was sitting in front of the case, saw her come in and said with a smile: "I stayed until now before leaving, are you happy at the banquet?" Shangguan Jing'er smiled: "I am a vulgar person, once I succeed, I will be arrogant. Willful." Wu Zhao smiled, and shouted outside: "Bring in the hangover soup." Then he said to Shangguan Jing'er, "I see that you drank a lot of wine at the banquet, first drink a bowl of hangover soup and then Talk." While speaking, the maid brought in the hangover soup.Shangguan Jing'er came here tonight with Jing Ke's emotion of assassinating the King of Qin, she glanced at it casually, took it up and drank it down.Wu Zhao watched her drink the hangover soup, and then told the maid, "Help Prime Minister Zuo to rest on the blanket." Shangguan Jing'er handed the bowl to the maid, said, "I'll go by myself," and sat down on the blanket at the door.The maid quietly backed away with the bowl.

Wu Zhao saw Shangguan Jinger sitting down on the blanket, Fang turned her head to the back and said, "Come out." Shangguan Jinger was a little puzzled, not knowing who was hiding behind the screen, so she also looked at the aisle next to the screen.Then, she was taken aback.That was Shangguan Wan'er, her own older sister.Isn't my sister traveling abroad?How did Wu Zhao find her?What will happen to myself and my mother?The expression on Shangguan Jing'er's face did not change at all, but there was already a huge wave in her heart.

Shangguan Wan'er came to sit next to Wu Zhao and looked at Shangguan Jing'er.No wonder His Majesty would recognize the wrong person, this person looks almost exactly like himself.At this time Wu Zhao said, "What else do you have to say?" Shangguan Jing'er smiled slightly: "I have never lied to Your Majesty. I have always told Your Majesty that I am not Shangguan Wan'er, but her sister. It is His Majesty who insists on it." Treat me as my older sister." Wu Zhao laughed back angrily, "How dare you speak hard. What are you, worthy of being my sister with my Wan'er? It's just a lunatic who grew up in a remote village, relying on being with my Wan'er Both sons look the same, so they go around bluffing and cheating. You still don’t know how to repent. I don’t think you will cry until you see the coffin.” Shangguan Jing’er raised her head and smiled: “The quality of a person lies in his character, how can he be judged by his birth. In terms of background, your Majesty is no more than a merchant, and my Shangguan family is the real family. As for bluffing and deceiving, I have never said a word to deceive each other, and I can't afford these four words. On the contrary, Your Majesty agreed in front of His Majesty Gaozong To assist Li Tang, but to replace him in the end, if you really want to talk about cheating, any liar in this world will be willing to bow down before His Majesty."

Shangguan Wan'er didn't expect Shangguan Jing'er's words to be so offensive, so she quickly reached out to hold Wu Zhao's hand, fearing that she would get angry.Wu Zhao turned around and smiled at her, Shangguan Wan'er felt relieved.Seeing this, Shangguan Jing'er said angrily: "Sister, why did you hang out with her again? She is the extermination enemy of our Shangguan family. Our grandfather and father, more than 100 members of the Shangguan family were killed by her. Sister, the hatred of killing one's father cannot be shared, if you flatter your enemies, aren't you afraid that the ancestors of the Shangguan family will die in peace?" Wu Zhao was furious when she heard the words: "Presumptuous. If you dare to call her sister again, I will immediately pull her out. Take off your tongue." Shangguan Jinger replied sharply: "Even if you kill me, I will bleed the same blood as her. I will never tolerate anyone ruining the reputation of the Shangguan family." Shangguan Jinger stood up as she spoke, He wanted to go over and pull Shangguan Wan'er over, but he was shocked to find that his dantian was empty, without any internal energy. He raised his head and stared at Wu Zhao fiercely: "What did you drink for me just now?" Wu Zhao sneered: "San Gong Tang " Shangguan Jing'er suffocated for breath, her decades of internal energy instantly vanished into nothingness.

Shangguan Wan'er looked at Shangguan Jing'er's cannibalistic eyes with some fear, and lightly tugged at Wu Zhao's sleeve: "Your Majesty, let's settle this matter quickly." Wu Zhao nodded, clapped her hands, and said loudly : "Bring it up." After a while, the two women were brought in by the maid.Shangguan Jing'er was startled, and then called out: "Aunt Chen, Aunt Xu, did she arrest you?" A woman nodded and then asked, "Jing'er, are you okay?" Shangguan Jing'er shook her head : "I'm fine." She felt hopeless.Originally, it was difficult for her to escape with the two of them, but now it was even better, and she didn't even think about losing her martial arts.

The woman glanced at Shangguan Wan'er and smiled helplessly: "Wan'er, have you come to Luoyang after all?" Shangguan Wan'er bowed, she had seen this woman when she was in a Taoist temple, and thought she was just a friend of the master , who knew that everyone partnered to lie to her.Shangguan Wan'er is kind and kind, even though she is angry, she will not utter bad words, her attitude is just a bit colder.

Shangguan Jing'er helped the two women to sit down on the blanket, and the three of them sat opposite to Wu Zhao.Wu Zhao slowly picked up the teacup and handed it to Shangguan Wan'er, saying, "Lord Zuo Xiang, I have already found the two mothers who raised you, what else do you have to say?" Shangguan Jing'er snorted coldly: "I also I don’t want to call each other sisters with people like Shangguan Wan’er who bully their ancestors. It’s just that what she did shamed the Shangguan family. I have to stand up and defend the honor of the Shangguan family. I can’t lose Shangguan’s surname, but I You can kick Shangguan Wan'er out of the house in the name of the head of the Shangguan family." Wu Zhao stared at Shangguan Jing'er with stern eyes, "Bitch, I will make you regret living." At this moment, the woman suddenly said, "Wan'er Er, Jinger is your own sister. Are you going to let her insult your sister like this?" Shangguan Wan'er shook her head: "I don't remember that I have a younger sister, and my mother never told me that I have a younger sister. The woman sighed: "Back then when Shangguan's family was destroyed, all males were beheaded for public display, and all policewomen entered the palace as slaves. At that time, your mother was giving birth, and she gave birth to twins, you and Jing'er. Jing'er was weak at the time, and she was afraid that she would not be able to endure the pain in the palace, so I asked your mother's maid, Aunt Chen." The woman glanced at the woman next to her and continued, "Take your sister and escape. Shangguan Wan'er shook her head: "I haven't heard from my mother." Wu Zhao was dubious, and immediately said: "Then let Mrs. Peiguo come to the palace." Then she called the maid to come in and tell her Wu Tuan'er arranged for someone to take Mrs. Pei Guo into the palace.

After the maid went out, Wu Zhao turned her head and asked Shangguan Wan'er softly, "Are you tired? Are you going to take a rest?" Shangguan Wan'er shook her head with a smile, "No, I'm with His Majesty." Wu Zhao smiled softly.Shangguan Jing'er looked at the two of them flirting with each other, her heart was aroused, and she looked aside with resentment.At this time, the woman smiled and said, "Wu Meiniang, don't you recognize me yet?" Wu Meiniang?Except that Shangguan Wan'er is sometimes narrow-minded, Wu Zhao hasn't heard anyone call her that for many years.Wu Zhao narrowed his eyes and looked at the woman, searching for her shadow in his mind.Shangguan Wan'er looked at Wu Zhao's old friend with even more curiosity.The woman waited for a while, and seeing that Wu Zhao still couldn't remember who she was, she said, "Wu Meiniang, don't you remember Xu Hui who was pushed off the cliff by you back then?" Xu Hui? !Isn't Xu Hui dead?Wu Zhao was startled and terrified, and looked at the woman a few times, and there was indeed a shadow of Xu Hui's past, probably because she was getting older and her appearance had changed, so she didn't recognize it.Wu Zhao involuntarily glanced at Shangguan Wan'er, regretting that she had been too big.How can it end now.As soon as Shangguan Wan'er heard it, she knew what bad things Wu Zhao had done back then. She tried to harm others but failed, and now she was approached.Shaking his head secretly, this time he was lucky to be locked in the sky prison, if he was kept by his side like He Danggui, I really don't know what would happen.

Xu Hui looked at Shangguan Wan'er, and said slowly: "Wan'er, your Majesty was also my lover when he was a talented person of Gaozu. She probably didn't tell you? She was pregnant in the Ganye Temple. Looking at Emperor Gaozong's child, she promised me that she would go far away with me, didn't she tell you? When I found out that she was pregnant and asked her to fulfill her promise, she refused to say anything and pushed me down. Cliff, intending to kill people, she never told you, right? She was young and young, and she treated me like this, have you ever imagined how she, who is now the Ninth Five, will treat you one day?" Wu Zhao held Shangguan Wan'er's hand tighter and tighter. Shangguan Wan'er couldn't bear the pain and turned her head to look at Wu Zhao. Wu Zhao thought that Shangguan Wan'er felt cold for her, so she panicked and said hastily, "Wan'er, trust me!" , I would not treat you like that..." Before Wu Zhao could finish speaking, Shangguan Wan'er interrupted her, and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, don't be disrespectful." Wu Zhao's heart immediately settled down.Shangguan Wan'er turned her head to look at Xu Hui and said, "Mrs. Xu, do you only remember what His Majesty has done to you? Has she never done a thing you like? If she has been so bad, has she ever been her lover? What is Mrs. Xu? Isn't Mrs. Xu trying to provoke the relationship between me and His Majesty at this moment? I am fine. Only when I am by His Majesty's side, I am happy from the bottom of my heart. I am willing to give up everything to be with Your Majesty."

Shangguan Jing'er said angrily: "You—" Xu Hui stopped her as soon as she uttered a word, and continued to say to Shangguan Wan'er: "Wan'er, since you treat Your Majesty like this, you have your reasons. Do you think His Majesty treats you like this?" You are fine, but have you ever thought that there are more than a thousand maids in the Daming Palace, why did she choose you?" Wu Zhao regretted that she was too scared back then and didn't immediately go down the cliff to see Xu Hui's life and death, so that She had the opportunity to be bewitched by rumors in front of Shangguan Wan'er today.However, if she interrupted now, it would only make Shangguan Wan'er more suspicious, and Wu Zhao secretly sighed that she was clever but was mistaken by cleverness.Originally, she wanted Shangguan Wan'er to watch her play tricks on others, but now it's better to make herself unable to move.

Shangguan Wan'er smiled, called the maid to come in, and pointed to the teacup on the table: "The tea is cold, go and change a cup." The maid picked up the teacup and went down, Shangguan Wan'er continued: "I really wonder why I am so boring, why did I win the favor of Your Majesty?" If Mrs. Xu can clarify the confusion, I will be all ears." Xu Hui said with a slight smile, "You look exactly like me when I was young." Shangguan Wan'er turned her head to think for a while, looked at Xu Hui and shook her head, and said with a smile: " No. When you met Your Majesty, she was still a talented person of Gaozu. The last time you met was at Ganye Temple. When I met Your Majesty for the first time, she was already the Queen of Tang Dynasty. If Your Majesty because of you She just chose me, so she will never forget you. However, I have shared the bed with His Majesty for so many years, and I have heard her say many things in dreams, and mentioned many people, but I have never heard your name. Besides, It's been a while since you came in, and His Majesty didn't recognize you, and she noticed you because you said you were Xu Hui, otherwise you were just the adoptive mother of Lord Zuoxiang. Also," Shangguan Wan'er smiled, "Back then Your Majesty abandoned you in order to enter the palace, but she was willing to give me the world when she mistakenly thought that Lord Zuoxiang was me. Mrs. Xu, although you were once His Majesty's lover, you don't know her at all. Your Majesty is not weak To someone who hides in the shadow of the past and cannot get out. And I am not worthy of someone His Majesty really likes. I have confidence in Your Majesty, and I also have confidence in myself. I have had it in the past, I have it now, and I will have it in the future. Always Yes, always." Shangguan Wan'er's words made Xu Hui unable to refute, when the maid brought the tea.Shangguan Wan'er saw that there were only two cups, frowned, and said, "Pour tea to the guests first." The maid hurriedly apologized, and immediately brought tea to Xu Hui and Aunt Chen, and hurried down to serve tea.Wu Zhao never thought that Shangguan Wan'er would stand in front of her one day and act as a protector. It was a bit of a surprise, but more of a sweetness.After being tough for so many years, she has long forgotten what it feels like to be protected by others.If Mrs. Pei Guo hadn't been on the way, she really wanted to take Guan Wan'er back to the bedroom to love her.

The maid came in with a tea tray, gave Shangguan Jing'er a cup, and presented two cups to Wu Zhao and the others.Shangguan Wan'er picked up the teacup and took a sip, casually glanced at the three people in front of her, and smiled at the woman who had been silent all this time: "Aunt Chen, were you my mother's maid back then?" Aunt Chen bowed and saluted: "Yes, Miss. Madam did give birth to both of your sisters back then. She thought she would escape death after entering the palace, and wanted to leave a bloodline for the Shangguan family. Your sister was very weak at that time, and she would definitely not survive after entering the palace, so I left you and let me She took your sister and ran away. Madam, she was probably afraid that if you found out, you would accidentally leak your mouth and cause disaster, so she hid it from you." Shangguan Wan'er smiled slightly and said: "If this is true, I have worked hard for you these years."

Suddenly a voice outside the hall said: "Aunt Shangguan, everyone has worked so hard for your own good, are you still obsessed? Or is this witch threatening you?" There were people outside the hall, but the maid didn't make a sound.Shangguan Wan'er was startled, and looked out of the hall nervously.Wu Zhao held her hand and said in a low voice, "Don't be afraid, everything is under our control." Shangguan Wan'er quickly turned to look at Wu Zhao, Wu Zhao nodded to her, Shangguan Wan'er was relieved.Then the door of the palace was pushed open, and two people walked in.

It turned out to be Fang Wuchi and Li Guangshun, mother and son.Seeing Shangguan Wan'er whom he hadn't seen for many years, Fang Wuchi called out with tears: "Wan'er." Shangguan Wan'er smiled and called out: "Sister." Li Guangshun looked at Shangguan Jing'er and smiled slightly, and Shangguan Jing'er turned her head look away.Back then, Li Sujie found Shangguan Wan'er unconscious by the river, saw a Taoist temple nearby, and took her to heal her injuries.Who would have thought that she ran into Shangguan Jing'er who looked exactly like Shangguan Wan'er there.Both parties were taken aback. Shangguan Jinger went back to ask Xu Hui and Aunt Chen about her life experience. In order to restore the reputation of Shangguan's family, she approached Li Sujie to discuss a plan.Shangguan Jing'er pretended to be Shangguan Wan'er and went to Luoyang. After winning the high position, she took the opportunity to recall Li Guangshun to Luoyang.It was even more joyful to find out that Shangguan Wan'er had lost her memory.Li Sujie then arranged for an expert in the world to be Shangguan Jinger's master, and devoted himself to cultivating her literary skills and military strategy.So Shangguan Jinger came to Luoyang two years later.Unexpectedly, Li Xian was actually made the prince in the end.Li Sujie was furious that Shangguan Jinger did not keep the agreement, but everyone knew that it was difficult to change, so he concealed the news that Shangguan Waner had been found by Wu Zhao, and waited for Shangguan Jinger to reap the consequences, and let Li Guangshun take Fang Wu Going to Beijing insanely, intending to take Shangguan Wan'er away, so as to attack Wu Zhao.However, Li Sujie has always thought that the so-called Shangguan Jinger is Shangguan Waner's younger sister, as Shangguan Jinger explained, is just an excuse to cover up Shangguan Jinger's showing off, but she never thought that they are really sisters.

Li Guangshun saw that his mother was trembling and unable to say a word, so he helped her sit down on the chair, stood aside and said, "Aunt Shangguan, you and my mother had such a good relationship back then, but then my mother suddenly turned against you. Don’t you think there’s something strange in it?” Shangguan Wan’er smiled: “I also thought that His Majesty sent people to force my sister to do this, but later found out that it wasn’t, His Majesty didn’t even know that I betrayed her. Fang Wuchi couldn't help crying: "Wan'er, she sent someone to arrest Shun'er and threaten me, so that I would break your heart and force you to leave." Wu Chi said: "Sister, it is true that His Majesty did not do this matter. She later heard that you and I were together and vomited blood in anger. It was His Majesty's men who persecuted my sister because they were afraid that His Majesty would find out that they did not report the knowledge. But they also Knowing the seriousness, there is no embarrassing Shun'er, right?" Seeing that Shangguan Wan'er was not angry, Fang Wuchi was a little panicked, and hurriedly explained: "Wan'er, what I said back then was not sincere, they forced me. If I don't say that, Wan'er will definitely not give up, Shun'er is in their hands, if something goes wrong, I..." Fang Wuchi spoke anxiously and chaotically, Shangguan Wan'er interrupted her with a smile: "Sister, Isn't it great now? Shun'er is safe and sound, and has returned to your side." Fang Wuchi cried out, "Wan'er, are you still unwilling to forgive me?"

Li Guangshun saw that Shangguan Wan'er had no interest in Fang, so he said, "Aunt Shangguan, people who have no long-term concerns must have near-term worries. Now she is the king of a country, and it will be very good for you to follow her. But the crown prince is already my uncle." , Li Tang's people, do you think about the future?" Wu Zhao laughed back angrily, everyone was not afraid of death tonight, and everyone urged Wan'er to leave her in front of her.Without waiting for Shangguan Wan'er to speak, Wu Zhao said, "Your father is the only son left now, you should think about how to live so that your father will not have no successors." Li Guangshun sneered: "You think you are the emperor? Can you do whatever you want? I will take my mother and Aunt Shangguan far away, can you find them?" Then he said to Shangguan Wan'er seriously, "Aunt Shangguan, don't be afraid. I have some skills now, and I will take you tonight Going far away with my mother, I don’t have to look at this person’s face anymore.” Shangguan Jing’er saw Li Guangshun’s words so innocently, and thought to herself that Li Sujie was really far-sighted, but it’s a pity that people are not as good as heaven.

At this time, the maid outside shouted: "Mrs. Pei Guo, please see me." Li Guangshun was flustered for a while, he remembered that he had clearly ordered all the maids to sleep at the Sleeping Point.Wu Zhao casually said, "Biography." Mrs. Zheng walked in and saw Shangguan Wan'er sitting next to Wu Zhao, frowning slightly. She casually looked around the hall and found Shangguan Jing'er sitting there impressively. She was shocked and went to look at Shangguan Wan again. My son, my heart died in an instant.Wu Zhao didn't care how Zheng's expression changed, and asked directly: "Mrs. Zheng, how many daughters do you have?" Zheng was helpless, saying that only one Shangguan Jing'er would surely die, but to say two is deceiving the king. Sin, she and Jing'er may not be able to live.With this hesitation, Shangguan Wan'er smiled, turned to Wu Zhao and said, "Your Majesty, let's do a blood test." Seeing Zheng looking forward and backward, Wu Zhao nodded, "Okay."

According to Wu Zhao's order, the maid brought a bowl of clear water, and Shangguan Wan'er and Shangguan Jing'er each dripped a drop of blood into it.After a while, the two drops of blood gradually melted together.It turned out that the two were really sisters.Shangguan Jing'er snorted coldly as she looked at the blood drop that merged into one.Although the blood is the same, the two people are very different, not the same.

The night was full of changes, no matter how energetic Wu Zhao was, he was a little tired. Seeing that the result had come out, he was not happy or angry, so he ordered the maids to lock them up separately, and he and Shangguan Wan'er went back to the bedroom.

After those people disappeared around the corner, Shangguan Wan'er let go of Wu Zhao.Wu Zhao did not suspect him, and asked with concern, "Are you tired? Are you hungry after tossing around for so long? Ask them to bring a bowl of porridge?" Shangguan Wan'er snorted and said nothing.Wu Zhao could tell that this person was not tired, but sullen, so he hugged her and smiled, "Why are you angry again? Your lover came to take you away, but I wasn't angry, but you are?" This is the thief calling catch the thief.Shangguan Wan'er became even more angry, she twisted her body and broke free from Wu Zhao's arm.Wu Zhao was very happy in his heart, and no matter why Shangguan Wan'er was angry, he still walked up to put her on her shoulder: "Do you want to talk to your old lover? I'm sure, you can go to her tomorrow." Really She has nothing to worry about, relying on herself to pretend to be generous here because she is determined to her.Shangguan Wan'er was too lazy to talk to Wu Zhao, and walked towards the bedroom without saying a word.

Wu Zhao watched Shangguan Wan'er walk into the bedroom, and whispered to the maid to serve the lotus seed porridge, and then followed in, seeing Shangguan Wan'er standing in front of the wax table, lost in thought.Wu Zhao went over and embraced her from behind: "Why is my Wan'er angry?" Shangguan Wan'er regained her composure and said angrily, "Tonight I finally understand why His Majesty liked me back then, so he regarded me as someone else's shadow. "Wu Zhao was a little guilty, and said stiffly: "Didn't you also say that you don't believe her? Why are you saying this again now?" Shangguan Wan'er gave Wu Zhao a look, and wanted to walk away. It was tight, and I couldn't get rid of it a few times, so I had to let her.However, he was angry after all, and complained after a while: "I have long wondered that Your Majesty always calls Sister Hui in his dreams. Who is this Sister Hui that His Majesty never forgets? Hmph, it turns out that she is His Majesty's lover." Wu Zhao was a little embarrassed. It turned out that what Shangguan Wan'er said was to protect her, but the facts were completely opposite to what she said.Wu Zhao sighed: "Wan'er is willing to endure such a big grievance in this matter, I'm really bad." Shangguan Wan'er was about to complain, when she heard the maid's voice, she stopped talking.

Wu Zhao looked at Shangguan Wan'er drinking lotus seed porridge, feeling infinitely warm.Shangguan Wan'er drank a few sips, and seeing Wu Zhao staring at her intently, she was a little embarrassed, and asked, "How does Your Majesty plan to arrange Mrs. Xu?" Where to go back." Shangguan Wan'er was a little worried, and also a little strange: "Your Majesty doesn't plan to keep her?" Wu Zhao said angrily: "Do you want me to taste her poison again? Don't think about it, I have no other thoughts about her." Shangguan Wan'er said with a smile: "Your Majesty is so fierce."

It was late at night when the two of them lay on the bed after bathing.Wu Zhao leaned against Shangguan Wan'er and asked, "Is it true that Wan'er is not angry about Xu Hui?" It's good to be an emperor, and she can say whatever people don't like to hear.Shangguan Wan'er was too lazy to talk to Wu Zhao, she closed her eyes and said nothing.Wu Zhao touched Shangguan Wan'er's cheek and called her.Shangguan Wan'er opened her eyes helplessly: "I know that His Majesty didn't like me before, and I also know that His Majesty likes me now. We have gone through so many things, and we finally got together again. Since I will not give up on Your Majesty, I I don’t want to waste my good time with these past things. When I have energy, I prefer to do some happy things with His Majesty.”

Wu Zhao finally felt relieved, and felt a little lucky.There are so many things going on between the two of them, and only Shangguan Wan'er's temperament can accept them one by one. If it were someone else, they would have parted ways with her several times.Shangguan Wan'er felt Wu Zhao's body relax, so she turned around and hugged her, not allowing her to speak any more.
