Chapter 102
Shangguan Wan'er and Cheng Yiwei wandered the streets of Luoyang.Seeing something interesting and delicious, Shangguan Wan'er stopped to buy a copy for the attendant to carry.Cheng Yiwei breathed a sigh of relief seeing that Shangguan Wan'er was no longer as preoccupied as she was a few days ago.Even without Wu Tuan'er secretly telling her, she would try her best to pull Shangguan Wan'er out of the vortex of hatred.Even His Majesty has let go, so why does the girl have to go through this muddy water, not to mention that if she is not careful, she will be killed.In the past, he always said that His Majesty only cared about the government and didn't take her seriously, but now it was just what he wanted, and it would be nice for the two of them to spend this time in peace.I just don't know how His Majesty plans to arrange the girl in the future...
Cheng Yiwei followed Shangguan Wan'er unconsciously while letting her thoughts wander.When she came back to her senses, she found that they had come to a strange alley. "Girl, what are we doing here?" Shangguan Wan'er smiled and said, "Do you remember that I was with a little girl when I left the palace and you came after me? Later she came back to Luoyang. His Majesty Rirang sent someone to investigate, she is living here." While speaking, the three came to the door of a house.Shangguan Wan'er knocked on the door.
There was no answer, and the door opened.It turned out to be a child.Shangguan Wan'er lowered her body and smiled, "Your name is Liu Quan'an, right? I'm your mother's sister, is she at home?" The child immediately turned around and ran into the house: "Mother, someone is looking for you, and she said it was your sister. "Shangguan Wan'er followed in.Someone lifted the curtain and came out, it was Rouge.
Seeing that it was Shangguan Wan'er whom she hadn't seen for several years, Yan Zhi was overjoyed, ran over and pulled Shangguan Wan'er, choked up and couldn't speak.Shangguan Wan'er smiled and asked, "Yanzhi, how have you been doing these past few years?" Yanzhi kept nodding her head and raised her hand to wipe her tears.Shangguan Wan'er looked at Liu Quanan standing aside and biting her finger, went to hug him, and said with a smile, "Look at your mother who is still crying at such an adult, we all don't cry anymore." Liu Quanan smiled, and Shangguan Wan'er followed the attendant Liu Quanan took a piece of pastry from Li and fed it to Liu Quanan while talking to Yan Zhi.Yan Zhi gradually stopped her tears, hurriedly called Shangguan Wan'er into the house, served tea and food, and kept busy.Shangguan Wan'er held her back: "Let's just talk, don't be busy."
Yan Zhi just sat down, it turned out that she met her current husband Liu Fu not long after she came to Xuancheng Mansion, the two had a relationship for a long time, and they became relatives, and they had Liu Quan'an for a year.Later, Liu Fu met some friends and started a small business together. With some capital, he came out and bought this yard to live a small life as a single family.Shangguan Wan'er smiled and said: "Yanzhi, as long as you live well, I will be at ease." Yanzhi smiled and said: "We people are just eating and drinking, and we can't compare to girls. Although I haven't seen girls in recent years I always think about it. I put incense sticks for the girl during festivals, and pray to God to bless the girl. A few years ago, I heard that the girl became a big official in the court, and everyone on the street said that the world has changed. The woman climbed on the man's head. I thought to myself, it's because they have never seen the girl, and they must be convinced when they see the girl. The girl's character and knowledge, no official can't do it. Only later I heard that His Majesty won't let the girl do it I'm an official..." Shangguan Wan'er patted Yan Zhi's hand with a smile: "The official is my sister, and I have been by His Majesty's side." Yan Zhi was a little surprised, and it was inconvenient to ask more questions in front of Cheng Yiwei and her attendants, so she just smiled and said : "As long as the girl is safe."
Seeing that it was noon, Yan Zhi stood up and said, "Miss don't mind, let me make a meal for the girl?" Shangguan Wan'er stood up and said with a smile, "Next time. I have something to do when I come out today, so I will come to eat next time." He also pointed to the food and things on the table, "I came out in a hurry, I bought some for Quan An to play with on the street." Yan Zhi didn't dare to keep it, so she had to send Shang Guan Wan'er out of the alley, watching her go away.
After walking away, Shangguan Wan'er turned her head and asked the attendants: "Ding Qi, do you know how to get to Caishikou?" Ding Qi lowered his head slightly: "My subordinates know. Miss, do you want your subordinates to work there?" Shangguan Wan'er shook her head : "I have something to go there, you lead the way." Ding Qi hurried to the front to lead the way.Cheng Yiwei was a little strange: "Girl, what are we going to Caishikou for? I don't think the weather is very good, it seems to be raining." Shangguan Wan'er hummed and said nothing.
Cheng Yiwei smiled wryly, the girl is becoming more and more assertive.That day when I heard the maids talking about the girl forcing His Majesty to send someone to kill all his great-grandchildren in front of a 100-year-old man, I was really dumbfounded.In any case, she couldn't imagine how her girl could do such a thing with such a soft temper.However, when the girl came back to see her, although she couldn't see her expression, he actually felt a little chill in his heart.Seeing someone selling umbrellas, Cheng Yiwei bought one.
When I came to the entrance of the vegetable market, I didn't see anyone buying or selling vegetables, but there were many people gathered around and looking at something.Shangguan Wan'er walked to a tea shop and ordered some tea.Cheng Yiwei was a little puzzled: "Girl, are we waiting for someone?" Shangguan Wan'er smiled and said, "Well, I'll be here soon. You two should have some tea first."
The three of them drank a few sips of tea, and heard the huddled crowd yelling "Here, here" "That's the man"... Shangguan Wan'er stood up and walked towards the crowd, Cheng Yiwei hurriedly followed.Ding Qi knew that Shangguan Wan'er wanted to go in, so he gestured casually, and the crowded crowd made way out of the way. Some of them cursed a few times, and when they met Shang Ding Qi's cold eyes, their voices dropped.In a flash, Shangguan Wan'er has arrived at the center of the arena.Cheng Yiwei was stunned for a moment.A wooden platform was set up in the open space, on which a man in prison clothes was kneeling, and someone was standing with a knife in his arms.This is execution.What is the girl doing here?
Suddenly the standing man arched his hands in front of him, Cheng Yiwei followed his gaze and saw that there was a shed in front of him, and there was a man in official uniform sitting inside, and he was picking up a piece of wood and throwing it down.At this moment, Shangguan Wan'er suddenly shouted loudly: "Wait a minute." Cheng Yiwei was startled, not knowing what Shangguan Wan'er was going to do.The official was also stunned, and asked: "Bold! Who are you? Dare to break into the court indiscriminately." Shangguan Wan'er raised her head and said: "As an official of the imperial court, you receive your majesty's salary, but you are avenging your private revenge and killing innocent people indiscriminately. Aren't you afraid of being punished by God?" The official was furious: "You talk nonsense, how dare you slander me. Come, someone, drag her down, and beat her with [-] boards first." The guards on the left and right stepped forward to drag Shangguan Wan'er down.Shangguan Wan'er pretended she didn't see it, and went up to the wooden platform calmly.Ding Qi stood guard under the steps of the wooden platform, and kicked the guard to the ground in two or three hits.Everyone had never seen anyone actually come to rob the execution ground, and they stared at them with wide eyes.
Shangguan Wan'er stood on the platform and looked at the official and said: "Master Huang, the people on the street don't know why you killed Lord Ji, but everyone in the court knows it. You and your wife Xiao Huiniang originally had a very good relationship, but it's a pity that your wife has been in love since she met Ji. My lord never forgot about him, and I went to Mr. Ji's house several times to ask for an audience. Mr. Ji is a romantic figure, so naturally he would not refuse a beautiful woman's advances. So the two of you went back and forth for several months behind your back. When you found out about the good things about the two of them, you became angry, First, you beat your wife seriously and didn't ask her for medical treatment, and let her die in pain. Then, you framed Mr. Ji for corruption and perverted the law, and sentenced him to beheaded. Mr. Huang, am I right or not?" Being exposed in full view, Master Huang's white face flushed red: "Presumptuous, presumptuous. Quickly catch her." At this time, there were two or three layers of soldiers surrounded under the stage, but Ding Qi's martial arts is so strong that the soldiers Even though there are many, they can't do anything to him.
Shangguan Wan'er went to help Ji Xu up.Ji Xu was very grateful: "Girl's kindness is great, and Ji Xu will never repay her in life. Even if she cannot survive today, Ji Xu will remember the girl's kindness and repay her in the next life." Shangguan Wan'er smiled and said: "Master Ji, you are welcome. No Your Majesty, it will be difficult for me to see Your Majesty again in this life. Your Majesty has the kindness to reinvent me. Don’t worry, Your Majesty, as long as I live, I will never allow anyone to hurt Your Majesty." The two of them were talking when they heard someone below say loudly: " The field is the court's place of punishment, how can we allow you to be unrestrained." Shangguan Wan'er turned her head, and a tall man in casual clothes was looking at them.Sitting under the shed, Master Huang's eyes lit up when he saw this man, hurried over, and said in a low voice, "Master Wei, this woman is making trouble here..." Master Wei raised his hand to stop him, and said, "There's no need to say anything." , I know. She is the elder sister of Mr. Zuo Xiang, we must look at Zuo Xiang's face, and we must not embarrass Zuo Xiang. Just let her step down." Only then did Mr. Huang know that it was the woman next to His Majesty who made the trouble. Dote on Shangguan Wan'er.
Mr. Wei said calmly: "Girl, you don't want people to kill Mr. Ji, you have to explain why you don't kill him. Otherwise, you won't let him be killed today, and I won't let others be killed tomorrow. What is it?" Shangguan Wan'er said in a calm manner: "Master Huang had some personal conflicts with Lord Ji, and I refuse to accept that Mr. Ji should be sentenced to death. Who knows if he will blame Ji because of his inability to guard his wife What about your Excellency?" Mr. Huang was so angry that he was about to start scolding, Mr. Wei said with a smile, "Miss, you don't know. Mr. Huang is only the supervisor of the beheading officer, not the presiding judge. Mr. Ji's crimes are Dali Temple, the Ministry of Criminal Justice and the imperial court. The third division of Shitai will make a decision, without any bias. If the girl has something to say to Mr. Ji, we are not unreasonable people, and we can wait for the girl to finish speaking before executing the sentence." Shangguan Wan'er sneered again and again: "The third division will interrogate! Good one There is no partiality. No one in Luoyang knows that the chiefs of Dali Temple, the Ministry of Punishment and Yushitai are all disciples of Master Di Renjie. No one in the world knows that Master Di is receiving Da Zhou's salary and thinking of recovering Li Tang. I don’t know that Master Ji Xuji is a powerful minister of His Majesty the Great Zhou God Emperor. What justice can be judged by the three judges?"
Master Wei also changed his face when he heard that Shangguan Wan'er had insulted his teacher, and said coldly: "Miss, we are being benevolent if we say anything good. If you can't come up with real evidence, we have to follow the rules." Shangguan Wan'er looked up With a smile on his head, he looked at Mr. Wei and said, "Of course I have real evidence, but I can't give it to you." Mr. Wei snorted and said, "Come on, drag them down." Ding Qi immediately put on his posture to guard against the approach of soldiers .At this time, there was a sound of horseshoes in the distance, Shangguan Wan'er let out a long breath, and finally came.
Sure enough, someone came and shouted: "Your Majesty has an order to keep people under the knife." Everyone hurriedly knelt down.The visitor opened the imperial decree and read it: Jixu's case is in doubt, and the censor Su Wansu will retry it.This is it.A few short sentences were enough to save Ji Xu's life.Shangguan Wan'er smiled and helped Jixu get up, and waited for the soldiers to unshackle him and help him step down.Ji Xu hastily declined: "Girl, how dare Ji Xu let the girl support her? The girl has broken Ji Xu." Shangguan Wan'er disagreed: "Master Ji is my benefactor, why not." At this time someone approached and said: " Girl, my lord sent me to pick up Master Ji back to the mansion." Shangguan Wan'er nodded, handed Ji Xu to him, and said: "Master Ji, after I return to the palace, I will send the imperial doctor to the mansion to treat you. Your lord, don't worry about it." Worry, just take a good rest." Ji Xu arched his hands, took a long breath, and said, "I don't want to thank you for your kindness. The girl will be sent out in the future, and Ji Xu will go through fire and water, and she will die." Shangguan Wan'er smiled and walked away up.
Cheng Yiwei followed behind Shangguan Wan'er, puzzled: "Girl, when did you arrange all these things?" Shangguan Wan'er smiled, how could she do this.In the final analysis, this matter was planned by Xiao Jing from the beginning to the end, and she was just following orders.Although he tried his best, he finally lived up to his mission and saved Jixu.
Wu Zhao watched the palace servants stepping back with the imperial decree in their hands, and sighed softly.A few days ago, Shangguan Wan'er went out of the palace to visit Xiao Jing's residence two or three times. She thought she was just looking for Xiao Jing to vent a few words, but she didn't expect Xiao Jing to drag her into these matters.Wan'er can't be allowed to get close to Xiao Jing anymore.Wu Zhao ordered the maid to call Wu Tuan'er. "Go to Xiao Jing's mansion to upload a message." Wu Zhao put down his pen and said to Wu Tuan'er, "Wan'er is from the harem, don't bother her with court affairs." Wu Tuan'er took the order and went down.Wu Zhao thought about Shangguan Wan'er's stubborn temper, if she got into a dead end, it would be difficult to pull her back.
When Shangguan Wan'er returned to the palace, it was already dark.Seeing that the Tongming Hall was dark and unlit, he was startled, and he didn't see any maids when he walked all the way, so he was very anxious, not knowing what happened to Wu Zhao.He ran quickly into the bedroom and found that there was no one there, and came to the main hall again, as if he saw a figure sitting on the blanket, and softly called: "Your Majesty." The figure hummed in a low voice.Shangguan Wan'er recognized Wu Zhao's voice, so she settled down, walked over, and sat down beside her: "Why doesn't Your Majesty light the lamp?"
Wu Zhao pulled Shangguan Wan'er away, and said quietly: "Wan'er went to the execution ground today to save Ji Xu, so that he can kill those who love Li Tang in the future? So that I can become the emperor with real power?" Shangguan Wan'er paused in her heart, and said slowly: "I know I didn't do well. But it's all my fault, Your Majesty. I have to do something." Wu Zhao asked, "If I want to What? I don’t care?” Shangguan Wan’er said urgently, “I care. Your Majesty is the master of the world, how can you let them be presumptuous.” Wu Zhao chuckled lightly: “Wan’er, you can’t accept me without power, can you? What you like is the arrogant Wu Zhao, not this Wu Zhao who is tired of the government and wants to live a leisurely life, right? If I still want to keep you, I can only go back to the court and continue to fight them bravely Ruthless, so you can secure the position of emperor, right?" Shangguan Wan'er hugged Wu Zhao, "No, no. I love your majesty. No matter what your majesty is, I love your majesty. However, I know that your majesty has thousands of miles in his heart. , I can't let His Majesty guard the deep palace because of me. Since Your Majesty's country is lost because of me, I will take it back. Don't worry, Your Majesty, I still have Sister Jing to help me."
Wu Zhao pushed Shangguan Wan'er away, and said in a disappointed tone: "You can't accept that I have become an ordinary person. That's right, when you first met me, I was the queen of the Tang Dynasty. Gao. Now it is really hard for you to follow a useless old woman. You have said several times that you want to be an official in the court like Xiao Jing. Well, it just so happens that your sister has vacated the position of left minister, so I will make you the left. It's good." Shangguan Wan'er was clear in her heart, knowing that Wu Zhao was retreating so that she could return to the harem, so she grabbed Wu Zhao's hand and tilted her head and asked, "Your Majesty really wants to make me the prime minister? He hesitated and said: "Sister Jing is so much better than me, I can't be in front of her. Why don't your majesty ask sister Jing to be the left side, and I will be the right side." The child was really dazed.Wu Zhao gritted her teeth and continued to act casually: "Okay, I'll listen to you. I will make an order tonight. Whether you want to live in the palace or go back to the government, it's up to you." Shangguan Wan Er smiled and said, "Of course I'm with His Majesty. I won't go back to the government." Wu Zhao smiled slightly and said, "I don't live here. I've lived here for many years, and I'm a little tired. I plan to Move to Shangyang Palace." Shangguan Wan'er hadn't woken up yet, and said blankly, "Your Majesty, Shangyang Palace is far away from here, so it's inconvenient." Wu Zhao moved and said, "I I don't plan to go to court, and I don't bother to criticize papers. From now on, I will let you and Xiao Jing decide about the court affairs."
Shangguan Wan'er was speechless for a while, but after a long time she asked: "Your Majesty really doesn't care about the world?" Wu Zhao hummed and said, "It's not rare if you have already obtained it. Do you think the position of prince Did they take it? It's not that I want to give it to the Li family, they have to wait until I die." Shangguan Wan'er quickly pushed Wu Zhao: "Don't talk nonsense." Wu Zhao smiled and embraced Shangguan Wan'er stroked her hair: "I was thinking, when I get to Shangyang Palace, I will ignore the messy affairs of the court, read books every day, grow a few flowers, and bring some actors and listen to the music when I leave. Shangguan Wan'er was a little annoyed: "Your Majesty, haven't you thought about me?" Wu Zhao looked surprised: "Didn't I just say that? You are left to be the left and right, and you live in the palace." It’s up to you even outside the palace. If you don’t like going to the government, I’ll find another mansion for you.” Shangguan Wan’er was angry, she slipped into Wu Zhao’s arms and said sullenly, “Don’t leave me alone. If you don’t care, then I don’t care either. If you go to Shangyang Palace, then I will also go to Shangyang Palace." This is her Wan'er.Wu Zhao bowed her head and kissed Shangguan Wan'er and said, "You don't want to be the right minister anymore? You don't want to be famous in history?" Shangguan Wan'er said bitterly: "Your Majesty hates me the most. I know that I did this for Your Majesty. Making fun of others. Has no conscience." Wu Zhao laughed.
Shangguan Wan'er felt a little sad when she watched those palace people move out all the various items that Wu Zhao had collected for her in the side hall.Your Majesty is not planning to come back.It will either be empty in the future, or someone else will live here.Looking at this place where I lived since I was 14 years old, I feel a little reluctant to part with it.Fortunately, everything is ever-changing, and His Majesty is always with her.If there is no such person... Shangguan Wan'er quickly shook her head, not allowing herself to think about this question.
Cleaned up for three days in a row.Three days later, everyone hit the road.
Wu Zhao and Shangguan Wan'er chatted in the carriage. "Wan'er still remember going from Chang'an to Luoyang when she was 16?" Shangguan Wan'er smiled and fed Wu Zhao a fruit: "I remember. At that time, Yiwei told me that the fireflies flying at night were very beautiful, I think He secretly went out to watch while His Majesty was asleep. But every time His Majesty woke up when he sat up, he didn’t see it in the end.” Wu Zhao said with a smile: “Oh? So Wan’er was going to go out to play, I thought I was thirsty and wanted to drink water. Wan'er was really naughty at that time. Seeing peach blossoms blooming on the mountain, I had to climb up the mountain to pick them myself, and I couldn't stop them." Wu Zhao was fascinated for a moment.At that time, Wan'er was in cardamom, and she remembered that when she was holding a peach blossom in her hand and wanted to wear it for herself, she smiled sweetly, she was really a beautiful flower.Shangguan Wan'er saw Wu Zhao's erratic eyes, with a smile on her lips, she didn't know what she was thinking of, and she didn't bother her, and silently fed her fruit.Wu Zhao didn't realize it, and subconsciously opened his mouth to catch it.
In the evening, everyone invited Wu Zhao's will to camp.After all, Wu Zhao was getting old and a little tired, so he lay down in the tent to rest.Shangguan Wan'er was busy outside making fish soup for Wu Zhao.Cheng Yiwei stood aside and handed the pot and said: "Young lady has been riding in the carriage for a whole day without stopping. There is nothing they can't do in the imperial dining room, so they have to do it themselves." Shangguan Wan'er smiled and said: "I used to think that the imperial dining room The food here is the best in the world. Only when I went outside did I realize that His Majesty was so pitiful that he could hardly eat anything good. The people in the imperial dining room never served His Majesty special food for the sake of saving their own lives, for fear that His Majesty would miss it. There is nothing to give. I dare not make the original taste according to the recipe. I am afraid that it will be sour and spicy. Your majesty will spoil your stomach and cause trouble. Looking at the plates on your majesty's table, there is actually nothing delicious at all. I happen to have learned some outside, why don't you make it yourself for His Majesty to eat." Cheng Yiwei glanced at Shangguan Wan'er and walked away silently.Even the emperor is pitiful, they simply don't want to live.
Shangguan Wan'er slowly stirred the fish soup in the pot with a spoon, and said, "Bring me some more tofu." A plate of tofu was handed over, Shangguan Wan'er picked up a few pieces with chopsticks and put them in the pot, lifted I looked around and put two more yuan. "Okay, take it back." The person next to him said: "Why doesn't Wan'er cook grilled fish? Didn't I teach you how to cook grilled fish before?" It wasn't Cheng Yiwei.Shangguan Wan'er got up in shock and looked at the person coming.I saw him in night clothes, covering his face, but he didn't know who it was. "Don't even remember me?" The person who came took off his veil, and his white hair poured down. "You are Ayi." Shangguan Wan'er exclaimed in surprise.
It was Ayi who came.She smiled and took Shangguan Wan'er's spoon and continued to stir.That is for His Majesty to drink.Shangguan Wan'er hurriedly took the spoon again, and asked, "Ayi, why are you here?" Ayi smiled and said, "Why else? You, Shangguan Wan'er, are the only ones who brought me from Turkic to the Central Plains. Didn’t I promise you when I left that year, that I would come back to find you. Now I’m here to fulfill my promise.” Shangguan Wan’er frowned slightly, stood up and said with a smile: “Thank you for saving your life back then. En. I have had a good life these years, and I am very happy to be with His Majesty. Ayi, how have you been doing these years?" Ayi snorted and said, "Why are you with her again? You forgot her What did you do to you back then? Also, people in Luoyang said that you were a prime minister, but I went to your house, how did I find out that it was your sister? Who is that person?" Shangguan Wan'er shook her head: " She is my younger sister, but she has the same appearance as mine, everyone mistaken her."
Ayi grabbed Shangguan Wan'er's hand: "Don't talk about that. Now that the Li family has become the prince, the queen is no longer. It will not be good for you to follow her. She has killed so many people before, be careful of those people. The blame is on you. Come with me." Shangguan Wan'er broke away from Ayi's hand, scooped up a mouthful of fish soup, blew on it, tasted it, and said as she went to get the bowl: "Ayi, you Much smarter than before." Ayi raised his eyebrows and said, "I wasn't stupid in the past. It's just that I'm smarter now. You will be with me in the future, and you will often look at me differently. What do you Central Plains people say? Come on, Shibie will treat each other with admiration for three days. What's more, we haven't seen each other for several years."
Shangguan Wan'er was holding the fish soup, and said to Ayi seriously: "Ayi, I will always remember your life-saving grace, and I will definitely repay you. But I can't be with you. I love His Majesty. I'm sorry." Shangguan Wan'er fought against Ayi to get angry, who would have thought that Ayi smiled and said, "You will agree. This is fish soup for her, go and deliver it. I will wait for you here." Shangguan Wan'er is afraid of fish The soup was cold, so he didn't say much, just said hello casually and walked away.
Seeing Wu Zhao gulp down the fish soup she cooked herself, Shangguan Wan'er smiled.Wu Zhao raised her hand and pinched her face: "Stupid." Shangguan Wan'er asked braggingly, "Is it better than before?" Wu Zhao smiled and said, "I will write a plaque for you that is number one in the world. " Shangguan Wan'er giggled.Wu Zhao casually fed her a mouthful of fish soup.
Wu Zhao watched Shangguan Wan'er tidy up the dishes, and said, "Come back and rest after dinner, don't run around. It's not safe in the wilderness." Shangguan Wan'er made a face and went out.Wu Zhao was secretly relieved.Sure enough, the decision to leave the palace was correct.
Back to the place where the fish soup was cooked, Ayi was no longer there.Shangguan Wan'er looked around, but she didn't know where to find her.Ayi came out from the bushes by herself, and said with a smile, "Are you looking for me?" Shangguan Wan'er nodded, and asked, "Have you had dinner yet?" Ayi snorted and said, "You don't want to Shall I drink her leftover fish soup? I won’t drink it.” Shangguan Wan’er didn’t know what to say, so she thought for a while and said, “Can you sleep in a tent with others? I’ll ask someone to make a bed for you. " Ayi shook her head: "No need. I have my own place to go. I just want to see you tonight and have a word with you." Shangguan Wan'er hesitated for a moment, then asked: "This time you come to the Central Plains to do What?" Ayi looked at her helplessly: "There is nothing else. I came here just for you. You don't believe me?" Shangguan Wan'er couldn't judge whether her words were true or not, so she nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll go back first." I really don't have any nostalgia, at least I saved your life.Ayi looked at Shangguan Wan'er's back and touched her chin.But it's okay to be cruel, only by being cruel can you be dedicated.Just turn your mind to yourself later.
On the second day, Shangguan Wan'er leaned listlessly against the board wall, and yawned after a while.Wu Zhao glanced at her, "Why are you so lacking?" Shangguan Wan'er just wanted to be coquettish, but then she laughed again: "My physical strength has never been as good as your Majesty's." Wu Zhao opened his sleeves, Shangguan Wan'er understood, and moved over , and lay down in Wu Zhao's arms.Hearing the sound of horseshoes outside, Shangguan Wan'er remembered the night she ran for her life in Bazhou, and said, "When we arrive at Shangyang Palace, Your Majesty will teach me how to ride a horse?" Wu Zhao stretched out her finger along the bridge of Shangguan Wan'er's nose Sliding down, Shangguan Wan'er felt itchy, grabbed Wu Zhao's hand, and rubbed it against her clothes.Wu Zhao smiled and said, "I learned things outside, why didn't I learn how to ride horses? Didn't you say that your seniors and sisters know kung fu? They should know how to ride horses, right?" Shangguan Wan'er thought for a while and said, " I don’t remember anything at that time, I was afraid that I had a husband, and I didn’t dare to learn things like horse riding that need personal teaching.” Wu Zhao leaned over to pour a cup of tea, and took a sip from it: “The difference between men and women That's all. At that time, you didn't know that your husband was a woman, so why did you even feel taboo about getting close to women?" Shangguan Wan'er shook her head: "I don't know, maybe I remember Your Majesty physically. It feels wrong when others get close. "
Wu Zhao raised Shangguan Wan'er's head slightly, fed her a sip of tea, and said, "Don't be so obedient. You know I don't care about these things. When I run out of energy, Wan'er will act on every occasion and find others for entertainment." , I won’t mind. I believe Wan’er’s heart is with me.” Shangguan Wan’er glared at Wu Zhao: “Nonsense. You just have to pretend to be generous. If you tell the truth, I’m going to be angry.” Wu Zhao Zhao lightly stroked Shangguan Wan'er's cheek: "I can't bear to let my Wan'er suffer a little grievance. My Wan'er uses the best no matter what." Shangguan Wan'er smiled and said, "Your Majesty is the best." "Wu Zhao didn't speak, and lowered his head, Shangguan Wan'er stretched his arms around Wu Zhao's neck.
In the second half of the day, the two abandoned the carriage and rode forward slowly.Shangguan Wan'er heard from the attendant who delivered the water that there was a waterfall nearby, so she wanted to see it.Wu Zhao naturally let her.After Shangguan Wan'er and her team set off, the team's itinerary slowed down even more.So when they came back, they found that the team was moving at the speed of a turtle, and they rushed to the front without any effort.
After setting up the camp, Shangguan Wan'er lit the pot again, planning to use the mountain spring she brought back to cook for Wu Zhao.Cheng Yiwei and a group of maids surrounded Shangguan Wan'er.A group of people are very busy.
Wu Zhao sat in the tent and read a book.The door curtain moved slightly, and a court lady broke in without being summoned.Wu Zhao raised her head and glanced at the court lady, who did not wait for Wu Zhao to speak before she smiled and said, "Your Majesty the Empress." Here she comes.Wu Zhao put down the book and said with a smile, "You are that Turkic man, right? Sit down." Wu Zhao pointed at the blanket.
It was Ayi who came.She sat down on the carpet casually, looked at Wu Zhao and said, "Has Wan'er mentioned me to Her Majesty the Queen? I thought she didn't dare to tell Your Majesty about my existence?" Wu Zhao smiled slightly: "Wan'er did not I’ve said it before. I know you from the people below.” Pointing to the teapot, “I’ve already told them not to come in, you can do what you want.” Ayi really picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup, slowly shaking the teacup, He smiled softly and said, "What does Your Majesty know?" Wu Zhao looked at Ayi and said slowly, "You are the daughter of Ashina's family. Seven years ago, Khan married Turkic and became Ketun. A son and a daughter." Ayi's face changed slightly: "Your Majesty really has something extraordinary." Wu Zhao said with a smile: "The Central Plains and the Turks have been enemies for generations, and I dare not take it lightly."
Ayi sneered: "It turns out that His Majesty only cares about his own world. I thought His Majesty was afraid of losing Wan'er. After all, His Majesty's world is about to be lost. Does Your Majesty have a solution?" Wu Zhao didn't get angry at all. Said softly: "I never worry about losing Wan'er." Ayi put the teacup on the case, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, how about we make a deal?" Wu Zhao stared at Ayi without saying a word.Ayi continued: "I can ask the Turks to send troops to help Your Majesty, as long as your Majesty is willing to let me take Wan'er away." Wu Zhao looked at Ayi for a long time, then suddenly looked up and laughed.
After laughing, Wu Zhao said: "Ashi Na Ke Dun, there is a saying in the Central Plains that is 'Brothers fight against the wall, and the outside is protected from their insults', even if I die, I will not lure wolves into the house. What's more, Ke Dun, your Khan is not only your wife, but also more than two sons, you should save yourself first." Ayi smiled and said: "Your Majesty can't trust me? Those women in Khan are no different from dead people in my eyes. They just need them to attract Khan's attention." Wu Zhao waved his sleeves: "I don't care whether you are capable or not. In the past, you spent most of your efforts to save Wan'er, and now you are willing to exchange soldiers for Wan'er. Son, I believe in your heart for Wan'er. However, you are not standing still in Turkic, so how will Wan'er be better if she follows you to Turkic?"
Ayi was a little disbelieving: "Your Majesty will let me take Wan'er away?" Wu Zhao's face was as flat as water: "I can't stay with her forever, I must find a reliable person to take care of her. But right now, you don't have the ability to take good care of Wan'er." " Ayian nodded: "Didn't Her Majesty start as a queen? I may not be worse than Her Majesty in the future. I will also let Wan'er see that what you can do, I can do .I will treat her better than you. At least she will follow me without worrying that I will be unfaithful to her."
Wu Zhao glanced at the door curtain, and said, "Then you should do it quickly. I can't wait too long." Ayi understood but was also confused: "What does Your Majesty mean?" Wu Zhao raised his eyebrows and looked at the desktop: "I have been poisoned before, and my body has lost its vitality. This year, the imperial doctor told me that my body will not survive ten years." Ayi was silent for a while, and said: "Within ten years, I will return to the Central Plains and take Wan'er away." Wu Zhao nodded: "You go." Ayi stood up and bowed: "Before I come to pick up Wan'er, please take good care of Wan'er, Your Majesty. Let me go."
Shangguan Wan'er in this room was watched several times by people, and when she came back, she said that Wushang Palace was guarding His Majesty's tent to keep people from approaching.Since sister Tuan'er was guarding it personally, it must be that something important happened to the court.Shangguan Wan'er was a little worried, fearing that something might go wrong with Xiao Jing.I was bored, holding my cheek in one hand, and fiddled with the bonfire with a stick in the other. "Wan'er." It was Ayi.Shangguan Wan'er got up quickly.Ayi looked at Shangguan Wan'er under the light of the bonfire, her hair was slightly raised, her face was quiet, beautiful and dignified.Shangguan Wan'er saw that Ayi didn't speak and just stared at her, a little embarrassed, so she asked, "What's wrong with Ayi? Can I help you with anything?" Ayi smiled and said, "Take care of yourself and wait for me." It’s been a great help to come back.”
Shangguan Wan'er breathed a sigh of relief, and asked, "Are you going back to Turkic?" Ayi nodded, "Wan'er, I will not wrong you. When I am qualified to take you away, I will come to pick you up." " Shangguan Wan'er didn't know what she was talking about, and said vaguely: "I am His Majesty's person, and I will only be with His Majesty. Be careful on the road." Ayi smiled, and suddenly hugged Shangguan Wan'er into her arms .Shangguan Wan'er was startled and was about to break free, but she was no match for Ayi, she just felt that Ayi's arms locked her tightly like an iron hoop.Shangguan Wan'er was furious, and was about to lose her temper when Ayi suddenly kissed her lips again.Shangguan Wan'er was shocked, and suddenly remembered that Ayi had treated her so lightly before leaving many years ago, she was furious and struggled desperately.
In the end, Ayi finally let go of her, and Shangguan Wan'er felt her lips hurt a little.It must be swollen, let His Majesty see it, what would she think of herself.Shangguan Wan'er remained silent with a cold face.Ayi stretched out her hand to hold Shangguan Wan'er's shoulder: "Wan'er, I'm leaving, you have to be good." Shangguan Wan'er didn't look at Ayi, but looked into the distance and said: "Be careful on the road, go back to the grassland Live a good life." Ayi shook Shangguan Wan'er's shoulder: "We haven't seen each other for a long time this time, please turn around and let me see you." Shangguan Wan'er neither replied nor turned her head.Ayi laughed and said, "I'll kiss you if I don't look back." Shangguan Wan'er was afraid that she would really mess up again, so she turned around and looked at her.Ayi looked at Shangguan Wan'er frowning, with an angry and helpless look on her face.Such a beautiful woman, it's a pity to leave soon.
Shangguan Wan'er watched Ayi disappear into the darkness, and finally felt relieved, feeling a little strange.Appearing inexplicably and disappearing inexplicably.However, it's good to leave. If you stay here for a long time, you will inevitably be noticed.The emperor's concubine and
Cheng Yiwei followed Shangguan Wan'er unconsciously while letting her thoughts wander.When she came back to her senses, she found that they had come to a strange alley. "Girl, what are we doing here?" Shangguan Wan'er smiled and said, "Do you remember that I was with a little girl when I left the palace and you came after me? Later she came back to Luoyang. His Majesty Rirang sent someone to investigate, she is living here." While speaking, the three came to the door of a house.Shangguan Wan'er knocked on the door.
There was no answer, and the door opened.It turned out to be a child.Shangguan Wan'er lowered her body and smiled, "Your name is Liu Quan'an, right? I'm your mother's sister, is she at home?" The child immediately turned around and ran into the house: "Mother, someone is looking for you, and she said it was your sister. "Shangguan Wan'er followed in.Someone lifted the curtain and came out, it was Rouge.
Seeing that it was Shangguan Wan'er whom she hadn't seen for several years, Yan Zhi was overjoyed, ran over and pulled Shangguan Wan'er, choked up and couldn't speak.Shangguan Wan'er smiled and asked, "Yanzhi, how have you been doing these past few years?" Yanzhi kept nodding her head and raised her hand to wipe her tears.Shangguan Wan'er looked at Liu Quanan standing aside and biting her finger, went to hug him, and said with a smile, "Look at your mother who is still crying at such an adult, we all don't cry anymore." Liu Quanan smiled, and Shangguan Wan'er followed the attendant Liu Quanan took a piece of pastry from Li and fed it to Liu Quanan while talking to Yan Zhi.Yan Zhi gradually stopped her tears, hurriedly called Shangguan Wan'er into the house, served tea and food, and kept busy.Shangguan Wan'er held her back: "Let's just talk, don't be busy."
Yan Zhi just sat down, it turned out that she met her current husband Liu Fu not long after she came to Xuancheng Mansion, the two had a relationship for a long time, and they became relatives, and they had Liu Quan'an for a year.Later, Liu Fu met some friends and started a small business together. With some capital, he came out and bought this yard to live a small life as a single family.Shangguan Wan'er smiled and said: "Yanzhi, as long as you live well, I will be at ease." Yanzhi smiled and said: "We people are just eating and drinking, and we can't compare to girls. Although I haven't seen girls in recent years I always think about it. I put incense sticks for the girl during festivals, and pray to God to bless the girl. A few years ago, I heard that the girl became a big official in the court, and everyone on the street said that the world has changed. The woman climbed on the man's head. I thought to myself, it's because they have never seen the girl, and they must be convinced when they see the girl. The girl's character and knowledge, no official can't do it. Only later I heard that His Majesty won't let the girl do it I'm an official..." Shangguan Wan'er patted Yan Zhi's hand with a smile: "The official is my sister, and I have been by His Majesty's side." Yan Zhi was a little surprised, and it was inconvenient to ask more questions in front of Cheng Yiwei and her attendants, so she just smiled and said : "As long as the girl is safe."
Seeing that it was noon, Yan Zhi stood up and said, "Miss don't mind, let me make a meal for the girl?" Shangguan Wan'er stood up and said with a smile, "Next time. I have something to do when I come out today, so I will come to eat next time." He also pointed to the food and things on the table, "I came out in a hurry, I bought some for Quan An to play with on the street." Yan Zhi didn't dare to keep it, so she had to send Shang Guan Wan'er out of the alley, watching her go away.
After walking away, Shangguan Wan'er turned her head and asked the attendants: "Ding Qi, do you know how to get to Caishikou?" Ding Qi lowered his head slightly: "My subordinates know. Miss, do you want your subordinates to work there?" Shangguan Wan'er shook her head : "I have something to go there, you lead the way." Ding Qi hurried to the front to lead the way.Cheng Yiwei was a little strange: "Girl, what are we going to Caishikou for? I don't think the weather is very good, it seems to be raining." Shangguan Wan'er hummed and said nothing.
Cheng Yiwei smiled wryly, the girl is becoming more and more assertive.That day when I heard the maids talking about the girl forcing His Majesty to send someone to kill all his great-grandchildren in front of a 100-year-old man, I was really dumbfounded.In any case, she couldn't imagine how her girl could do such a thing with such a soft temper.However, when the girl came back to see her, although she couldn't see her expression, he actually felt a little chill in his heart.Seeing someone selling umbrellas, Cheng Yiwei bought one.
When I came to the entrance of the vegetable market, I didn't see anyone buying or selling vegetables, but there were many people gathered around and looking at something.Shangguan Wan'er walked to a tea shop and ordered some tea.Cheng Yiwei was a little puzzled: "Girl, are we waiting for someone?" Shangguan Wan'er smiled and said, "Well, I'll be here soon. You two should have some tea first."
The three of them drank a few sips of tea, and heard the huddled crowd yelling "Here, here" "That's the man"... Shangguan Wan'er stood up and walked towards the crowd, Cheng Yiwei hurriedly followed.Ding Qi knew that Shangguan Wan'er wanted to go in, so he gestured casually, and the crowded crowd made way out of the way. Some of them cursed a few times, and when they met Shang Ding Qi's cold eyes, their voices dropped.In a flash, Shangguan Wan'er has arrived at the center of the arena.Cheng Yiwei was stunned for a moment.A wooden platform was set up in the open space, on which a man in prison clothes was kneeling, and someone was standing with a knife in his arms.This is execution.What is the girl doing here?
Suddenly the standing man arched his hands in front of him, Cheng Yiwei followed his gaze and saw that there was a shed in front of him, and there was a man in official uniform sitting inside, and he was picking up a piece of wood and throwing it down.At this moment, Shangguan Wan'er suddenly shouted loudly: "Wait a minute." Cheng Yiwei was startled, not knowing what Shangguan Wan'er was going to do.The official was also stunned, and asked: "Bold! Who are you? Dare to break into the court indiscriminately." Shangguan Wan'er raised her head and said: "As an official of the imperial court, you receive your majesty's salary, but you are avenging your private revenge and killing innocent people indiscriminately. Aren't you afraid of being punished by God?" The official was furious: "You talk nonsense, how dare you slander me. Come, someone, drag her down, and beat her with [-] boards first." The guards on the left and right stepped forward to drag Shangguan Wan'er down.Shangguan Wan'er pretended she didn't see it, and went up to the wooden platform calmly.Ding Qi stood guard under the steps of the wooden platform, and kicked the guard to the ground in two or three hits.Everyone had never seen anyone actually come to rob the execution ground, and they stared at them with wide eyes.
Shangguan Wan'er stood on the platform and looked at the official and said: "Master Huang, the people on the street don't know why you killed Lord Ji, but everyone in the court knows it. You and your wife Xiao Huiniang originally had a very good relationship, but it's a pity that your wife has been in love since she met Ji. My lord never forgot about him, and I went to Mr. Ji's house several times to ask for an audience. Mr. Ji is a romantic figure, so naturally he would not refuse a beautiful woman's advances. So the two of you went back and forth for several months behind your back. When you found out about the good things about the two of them, you became angry, First, you beat your wife seriously and didn't ask her for medical treatment, and let her die in pain. Then, you framed Mr. Ji for corruption and perverted the law, and sentenced him to beheaded. Mr. Huang, am I right or not?" Being exposed in full view, Master Huang's white face flushed red: "Presumptuous, presumptuous. Quickly catch her." At this time, there were two or three layers of soldiers surrounded under the stage, but Ding Qi's martial arts is so strong that the soldiers Even though there are many, they can't do anything to him.
Shangguan Wan'er went to help Ji Xu up.Ji Xu was very grateful: "Girl's kindness is great, and Ji Xu will never repay her in life. Even if she cannot survive today, Ji Xu will remember the girl's kindness and repay her in the next life." Shangguan Wan'er smiled and said: "Master Ji, you are welcome. No Your Majesty, it will be difficult for me to see Your Majesty again in this life. Your Majesty has the kindness to reinvent me. Don’t worry, Your Majesty, as long as I live, I will never allow anyone to hurt Your Majesty." The two of them were talking when they heard someone below say loudly: " The field is the court's place of punishment, how can we allow you to be unrestrained." Shangguan Wan'er turned her head, and a tall man in casual clothes was looking at them.Sitting under the shed, Master Huang's eyes lit up when he saw this man, hurried over, and said in a low voice, "Master Wei, this woman is making trouble here..." Master Wei raised his hand to stop him, and said, "There's no need to say anything." , I know. She is the elder sister of Mr. Zuo Xiang, we must look at Zuo Xiang's face, and we must not embarrass Zuo Xiang. Just let her step down." Only then did Mr. Huang know that it was the woman next to His Majesty who made the trouble. Dote on Shangguan Wan'er.
Mr. Wei said calmly: "Girl, you don't want people to kill Mr. Ji, you have to explain why you don't kill him. Otherwise, you won't let him be killed today, and I won't let others be killed tomorrow. What is it?" Shangguan Wan'er said in a calm manner: "Master Huang had some personal conflicts with Lord Ji, and I refuse to accept that Mr. Ji should be sentenced to death. Who knows if he will blame Ji because of his inability to guard his wife What about your Excellency?" Mr. Huang was so angry that he was about to start scolding, Mr. Wei said with a smile, "Miss, you don't know. Mr. Huang is only the supervisor of the beheading officer, not the presiding judge. Mr. Ji's crimes are Dali Temple, the Ministry of Criminal Justice and the imperial court. The third division of Shitai will make a decision, without any bias. If the girl has something to say to Mr. Ji, we are not unreasonable people, and we can wait for the girl to finish speaking before executing the sentence." Shangguan Wan'er sneered again and again: "The third division will interrogate! Good one There is no partiality. No one in Luoyang knows that the chiefs of Dali Temple, the Ministry of Punishment and Yushitai are all disciples of Master Di Renjie. No one in the world knows that Master Di is receiving Da Zhou's salary and thinking of recovering Li Tang. I don’t know that Master Ji Xuji is a powerful minister of His Majesty the Great Zhou God Emperor. What justice can be judged by the three judges?"
Master Wei also changed his face when he heard that Shangguan Wan'er had insulted his teacher, and said coldly: "Miss, we are being benevolent if we say anything good. If you can't come up with real evidence, we have to follow the rules." Shangguan Wan'er looked up With a smile on his head, he looked at Mr. Wei and said, "Of course I have real evidence, but I can't give it to you." Mr. Wei snorted and said, "Come on, drag them down." Ding Qi immediately put on his posture to guard against the approach of soldiers .At this time, there was a sound of horseshoes in the distance, Shangguan Wan'er let out a long breath, and finally came.
Sure enough, someone came and shouted: "Your Majesty has an order to keep people under the knife." Everyone hurriedly knelt down.The visitor opened the imperial decree and read it: Jixu's case is in doubt, and the censor Su Wansu will retry it.This is it.A few short sentences were enough to save Ji Xu's life.Shangguan Wan'er smiled and helped Jixu get up, and waited for the soldiers to unshackle him and help him step down.Ji Xu hastily declined: "Girl, how dare Ji Xu let the girl support her? The girl has broken Ji Xu." Shangguan Wan'er disagreed: "Master Ji is my benefactor, why not." At this time someone approached and said: " Girl, my lord sent me to pick up Master Ji back to the mansion." Shangguan Wan'er nodded, handed Ji Xu to him, and said: "Master Ji, after I return to the palace, I will send the imperial doctor to the mansion to treat you. Your lord, don't worry about it." Worry, just take a good rest." Ji Xu arched his hands, took a long breath, and said, "I don't want to thank you for your kindness. The girl will be sent out in the future, and Ji Xu will go through fire and water, and she will die." Shangguan Wan'er smiled and walked away up.
Cheng Yiwei followed behind Shangguan Wan'er, puzzled: "Girl, when did you arrange all these things?" Shangguan Wan'er smiled, how could she do this.In the final analysis, this matter was planned by Xiao Jing from the beginning to the end, and she was just following orders.Although he tried his best, he finally lived up to his mission and saved Jixu.
Wu Zhao watched the palace servants stepping back with the imperial decree in their hands, and sighed softly.A few days ago, Shangguan Wan'er went out of the palace to visit Xiao Jing's residence two or three times. She thought she was just looking for Xiao Jing to vent a few words, but she didn't expect Xiao Jing to drag her into these matters.Wan'er can't be allowed to get close to Xiao Jing anymore.Wu Zhao ordered the maid to call Wu Tuan'er. "Go to Xiao Jing's mansion to upload a message." Wu Zhao put down his pen and said to Wu Tuan'er, "Wan'er is from the harem, don't bother her with court affairs." Wu Tuan'er took the order and went down.Wu Zhao thought about Shangguan Wan'er's stubborn temper, if she got into a dead end, it would be difficult to pull her back.
When Shangguan Wan'er returned to the palace, it was already dark.Seeing that the Tongming Hall was dark and unlit, he was startled, and he didn't see any maids when he walked all the way, so he was very anxious, not knowing what happened to Wu Zhao.He ran quickly into the bedroom and found that there was no one there, and came to the main hall again, as if he saw a figure sitting on the blanket, and softly called: "Your Majesty." The figure hummed in a low voice.Shangguan Wan'er recognized Wu Zhao's voice, so she settled down, walked over, and sat down beside her: "Why doesn't Your Majesty light the lamp?"
Wu Zhao pulled Shangguan Wan'er away, and said quietly: "Wan'er went to the execution ground today to save Ji Xu, so that he can kill those who love Li Tang in the future? So that I can become the emperor with real power?" Shangguan Wan'er paused in her heart, and said slowly: "I know I didn't do well. But it's all my fault, Your Majesty. I have to do something." Wu Zhao asked, "If I want to What? I don’t care?” Shangguan Wan’er said urgently, “I care. Your Majesty is the master of the world, how can you let them be presumptuous.” Wu Zhao chuckled lightly: “Wan’er, you can’t accept me without power, can you? What you like is the arrogant Wu Zhao, not this Wu Zhao who is tired of the government and wants to live a leisurely life, right? If I still want to keep you, I can only go back to the court and continue to fight them bravely Ruthless, so you can secure the position of emperor, right?" Shangguan Wan'er hugged Wu Zhao, "No, no. I love your majesty. No matter what your majesty is, I love your majesty. However, I know that your majesty has thousands of miles in his heart. , I can't let His Majesty guard the deep palace because of me. Since Your Majesty's country is lost because of me, I will take it back. Don't worry, Your Majesty, I still have Sister Jing to help me."
Wu Zhao pushed Shangguan Wan'er away, and said in a disappointed tone: "You can't accept that I have become an ordinary person. That's right, when you first met me, I was the queen of the Tang Dynasty. Gao. Now it is really hard for you to follow a useless old woman. You have said several times that you want to be an official in the court like Xiao Jing. Well, it just so happens that your sister has vacated the position of left minister, so I will make you the left. It's good." Shangguan Wan'er was clear in her heart, knowing that Wu Zhao was retreating so that she could return to the harem, so she grabbed Wu Zhao's hand and tilted her head and asked, "Your Majesty really wants to make me the prime minister? He hesitated and said: "Sister Jing is so much better than me, I can't be in front of her. Why don't your majesty ask sister Jing to be the left side, and I will be the right side." The child was really dazed.Wu Zhao gritted her teeth and continued to act casually: "Okay, I'll listen to you. I will make an order tonight. Whether you want to live in the palace or go back to the government, it's up to you." Shangguan Wan Er smiled and said, "Of course I'm with His Majesty. I won't go back to the government." Wu Zhao smiled slightly and said, "I don't live here. I've lived here for many years, and I'm a little tired. I plan to Move to Shangyang Palace." Shangguan Wan'er hadn't woken up yet, and said blankly, "Your Majesty, Shangyang Palace is far away from here, so it's inconvenient." Wu Zhao moved and said, "I I don't plan to go to court, and I don't bother to criticize papers. From now on, I will let you and Xiao Jing decide about the court affairs."
Shangguan Wan'er was speechless for a while, but after a long time she asked: "Your Majesty really doesn't care about the world?" Wu Zhao hummed and said, "It's not rare if you have already obtained it. Do you think the position of prince Did they take it? It's not that I want to give it to the Li family, they have to wait until I die." Shangguan Wan'er quickly pushed Wu Zhao: "Don't talk nonsense." Wu Zhao smiled and embraced Shangguan Wan'er stroked her hair: "I was thinking, when I get to Shangyang Palace, I will ignore the messy affairs of the court, read books every day, grow a few flowers, and bring some actors and listen to the music when I leave. Shangguan Wan'er was a little annoyed: "Your Majesty, haven't you thought about me?" Wu Zhao looked surprised: "Didn't I just say that? You are left to be the left and right, and you live in the palace." It’s up to you even outside the palace. If you don’t like going to the government, I’ll find another mansion for you.” Shangguan Wan’er was angry, she slipped into Wu Zhao’s arms and said sullenly, “Don’t leave me alone. If you don’t care, then I don’t care either. If you go to Shangyang Palace, then I will also go to Shangyang Palace." This is her Wan'er.Wu Zhao bowed her head and kissed Shangguan Wan'er and said, "You don't want to be the right minister anymore? You don't want to be famous in history?" Shangguan Wan'er said bitterly: "Your Majesty hates me the most. I know that I did this for Your Majesty. Making fun of others. Has no conscience." Wu Zhao laughed.
Shangguan Wan'er felt a little sad when she watched those palace people move out all the various items that Wu Zhao had collected for her in the side hall.Your Majesty is not planning to come back.It will either be empty in the future, or someone else will live here.Looking at this place where I lived since I was 14 years old, I feel a little reluctant to part with it.Fortunately, everything is ever-changing, and His Majesty is always with her.If there is no such person... Shangguan Wan'er quickly shook her head, not allowing herself to think about this question.
Cleaned up for three days in a row.Three days later, everyone hit the road.
Wu Zhao and Shangguan Wan'er chatted in the carriage. "Wan'er still remember going from Chang'an to Luoyang when she was 16?" Shangguan Wan'er smiled and fed Wu Zhao a fruit: "I remember. At that time, Yiwei told me that the fireflies flying at night were very beautiful, I think He secretly went out to watch while His Majesty was asleep. But every time His Majesty woke up when he sat up, he didn’t see it in the end.” Wu Zhao said with a smile: “Oh? So Wan’er was going to go out to play, I thought I was thirsty and wanted to drink water. Wan'er was really naughty at that time. Seeing peach blossoms blooming on the mountain, I had to climb up the mountain to pick them myself, and I couldn't stop them." Wu Zhao was fascinated for a moment.At that time, Wan'er was in cardamom, and she remembered that when she was holding a peach blossom in her hand and wanted to wear it for herself, she smiled sweetly, she was really a beautiful flower.Shangguan Wan'er saw Wu Zhao's erratic eyes, with a smile on her lips, she didn't know what she was thinking of, and she didn't bother her, and silently fed her fruit.Wu Zhao didn't realize it, and subconsciously opened his mouth to catch it.
In the evening, everyone invited Wu Zhao's will to camp.After all, Wu Zhao was getting old and a little tired, so he lay down in the tent to rest.Shangguan Wan'er was busy outside making fish soup for Wu Zhao.Cheng Yiwei stood aside and handed the pot and said: "Young lady has been riding in the carriage for a whole day without stopping. There is nothing they can't do in the imperial dining room, so they have to do it themselves." Shangguan Wan'er smiled and said: "I used to think that the imperial dining room The food here is the best in the world. Only when I went outside did I realize that His Majesty was so pitiful that he could hardly eat anything good. The people in the imperial dining room never served His Majesty special food for the sake of saving their own lives, for fear that His Majesty would miss it. There is nothing to give. I dare not make the original taste according to the recipe. I am afraid that it will be sour and spicy. Your majesty will spoil your stomach and cause trouble. Looking at the plates on your majesty's table, there is actually nothing delicious at all. I happen to have learned some outside, why don't you make it yourself for His Majesty to eat." Cheng Yiwei glanced at Shangguan Wan'er and walked away silently.Even the emperor is pitiful, they simply don't want to live.
Shangguan Wan'er slowly stirred the fish soup in the pot with a spoon, and said, "Bring me some more tofu." A plate of tofu was handed over, Shangguan Wan'er picked up a few pieces with chopsticks and put them in the pot, lifted I looked around and put two more yuan. "Okay, take it back." The person next to him said: "Why doesn't Wan'er cook grilled fish? Didn't I teach you how to cook grilled fish before?" It wasn't Cheng Yiwei.Shangguan Wan'er got up in shock and looked at the person coming.I saw him in night clothes, covering his face, but he didn't know who it was. "Don't even remember me?" The person who came took off his veil, and his white hair poured down. "You are Ayi." Shangguan Wan'er exclaimed in surprise.
It was Ayi who came.She smiled and took Shangguan Wan'er's spoon and continued to stir.That is for His Majesty to drink.Shangguan Wan'er hurriedly took the spoon again, and asked, "Ayi, why are you here?" Ayi smiled and said, "Why else? You, Shangguan Wan'er, are the only ones who brought me from Turkic to the Central Plains. Didn’t I promise you when I left that year, that I would come back to find you. Now I’m here to fulfill my promise.” Shangguan Wan’er frowned slightly, stood up and said with a smile: “Thank you for saving your life back then. En. I have had a good life these years, and I am very happy to be with His Majesty. Ayi, how have you been doing these years?" Ayi snorted and said, "Why are you with her again? You forgot her What did you do to you back then? Also, people in Luoyang said that you were a prime minister, but I went to your house, how did I find out that it was your sister? Who is that person?" Shangguan Wan'er shook her head: " She is my younger sister, but she has the same appearance as mine, everyone mistaken her."
Ayi grabbed Shangguan Wan'er's hand: "Don't talk about that. Now that the Li family has become the prince, the queen is no longer. It will not be good for you to follow her. She has killed so many people before, be careful of those people. The blame is on you. Come with me." Shangguan Wan'er broke away from Ayi's hand, scooped up a mouthful of fish soup, blew on it, tasted it, and said as she went to get the bowl: "Ayi, you Much smarter than before." Ayi raised his eyebrows and said, "I wasn't stupid in the past. It's just that I'm smarter now. You will be with me in the future, and you will often look at me differently. What do you Central Plains people say? Come on, Shibie will treat each other with admiration for three days. What's more, we haven't seen each other for several years."
Shangguan Wan'er was holding the fish soup, and said to Ayi seriously: "Ayi, I will always remember your life-saving grace, and I will definitely repay you. But I can't be with you. I love His Majesty. I'm sorry." Shangguan Wan'er fought against Ayi to get angry, who would have thought that Ayi smiled and said, "You will agree. This is fish soup for her, go and deliver it. I will wait for you here." Shangguan Wan'er is afraid of fish The soup was cold, so he didn't say much, just said hello casually and walked away.
Seeing Wu Zhao gulp down the fish soup she cooked herself, Shangguan Wan'er smiled.Wu Zhao raised her hand and pinched her face: "Stupid." Shangguan Wan'er asked braggingly, "Is it better than before?" Wu Zhao smiled and said, "I will write a plaque for you that is number one in the world. " Shangguan Wan'er giggled.Wu Zhao casually fed her a mouthful of fish soup.
Wu Zhao watched Shangguan Wan'er tidy up the dishes, and said, "Come back and rest after dinner, don't run around. It's not safe in the wilderness." Shangguan Wan'er made a face and went out.Wu Zhao was secretly relieved.Sure enough, the decision to leave the palace was correct.
Back to the place where the fish soup was cooked, Ayi was no longer there.Shangguan Wan'er looked around, but she didn't know where to find her.Ayi came out from the bushes by herself, and said with a smile, "Are you looking for me?" Shangguan Wan'er nodded, and asked, "Have you had dinner yet?" Ayi snorted and said, "You don't want to Shall I drink her leftover fish soup? I won’t drink it.” Shangguan Wan’er didn’t know what to say, so she thought for a while and said, “Can you sleep in a tent with others? I’ll ask someone to make a bed for you. " Ayi shook her head: "No need. I have my own place to go. I just want to see you tonight and have a word with you." Shangguan Wan'er hesitated for a moment, then asked: "This time you come to the Central Plains to do What?" Ayi looked at her helplessly: "There is nothing else. I came here just for you. You don't believe me?" Shangguan Wan'er couldn't judge whether her words were true or not, so she nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll go back first." I really don't have any nostalgia, at least I saved your life.Ayi looked at Shangguan Wan'er's back and touched her chin.But it's okay to be cruel, only by being cruel can you be dedicated.Just turn your mind to yourself later.
On the second day, Shangguan Wan'er leaned listlessly against the board wall, and yawned after a while.Wu Zhao glanced at her, "Why are you so lacking?" Shangguan Wan'er just wanted to be coquettish, but then she laughed again: "My physical strength has never been as good as your Majesty's." Wu Zhao opened his sleeves, Shangguan Wan'er understood, and moved over , and lay down in Wu Zhao's arms.Hearing the sound of horseshoes outside, Shangguan Wan'er remembered the night she ran for her life in Bazhou, and said, "When we arrive at Shangyang Palace, Your Majesty will teach me how to ride a horse?" Wu Zhao stretched out her finger along the bridge of Shangguan Wan'er's nose Sliding down, Shangguan Wan'er felt itchy, grabbed Wu Zhao's hand, and rubbed it against her clothes.Wu Zhao smiled and said, "I learned things outside, why didn't I learn how to ride horses? Didn't you say that your seniors and sisters know kung fu? They should know how to ride horses, right?" Shangguan Wan'er thought for a while and said, " I don’t remember anything at that time, I was afraid that I had a husband, and I didn’t dare to learn things like horse riding that need personal teaching.” Wu Zhao leaned over to pour a cup of tea, and took a sip from it: “The difference between men and women That's all. At that time, you didn't know that your husband was a woman, so why did you even feel taboo about getting close to women?" Shangguan Wan'er shook her head: "I don't know, maybe I remember Your Majesty physically. It feels wrong when others get close. "
Wu Zhao raised Shangguan Wan'er's head slightly, fed her a sip of tea, and said, "Don't be so obedient. You know I don't care about these things. When I run out of energy, Wan'er will act on every occasion and find others for entertainment." , I won’t mind. I believe Wan’er’s heart is with me.” Shangguan Wan’er glared at Wu Zhao: “Nonsense. You just have to pretend to be generous. If you tell the truth, I’m going to be angry.” Wu Zhao Zhao lightly stroked Shangguan Wan'er's cheek: "I can't bear to let my Wan'er suffer a little grievance. My Wan'er uses the best no matter what." Shangguan Wan'er smiled and said, "Your Majesty is the best." "Wu Zhao didn't speak, and lowered his head, Shangguan Wan'er stretched his arms around Wu Zhao's neck.
In the second half of the day, the two abandoned the carriage and rode forward slowly.Shangguan Wan'er heard from the attendant who delivered the water that there was a waterfall nearby, so she wanted to see it.Wu Zhao naturally let her.After Shangguan Wan'er and her team set off, the team's itinerary slowed down even more.So when they came back, they found that the team was moving at the speed of a turtle, and they rushed to the front without any effort.
After setting up the camp, Shangguan Wan'er lit the pot again, planning to use the mountain spring she brought back to cook for Wu Zhao.Cheng Yiwei and a group of maids surrounded Shangguan Wan'er.A group of people are very busy.
Wu Zhao sat in the tent and read a book.The door curtain moved slightly, and a court lady broke in without being summoned.Wu Zhao raised her head and glanced at the court lady, who did not wait for Wu Zhao to speak before she smiled and said, "Your Majesty the Empress." Here she comes.Wu Zhao put down the book and said with a smile, "You are that Turkic man, right? Sit down." Wu Zhao pointed at the blanket.
It was Ayi who came.She sat down on the carpet casually, looked at Wu Zhao and said, "Has Wan'er mentioned me to Her Majesty the Queen? I thought she didn't dare to tell Your Majesty about my existence?" Wu Zhao smiled slightly: "Wan'er did not I’ve said it before. I know you from the people below.” Pointing to the teapot, “I’ve already told them not to come in, you can do what you want.” Ayi really picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup, slowly shaking the teacup, He smiled softly and said, "What does Your Majesty know?" Wu Zhao looked at Ayi and said slowly, "You are the daughter of Ashina's family. Seven years ago, Khan married Turkic and became Ketun. A son and a daughter." Ayi's face changed slightly: "Your Majesty really has something extraordinary." Wu Zhao said with a smile: "The Central Plains and the Turks have been enemies for generations, and I dare not take it lightly."
Ayi sneered: "It turns out that His Majesty only cares about his own world. I thought His Majesty was afraid of losing Wan'er. After all, His Majesty's world is about to be lost. Does Your Majesty have a solution?" Wu Zhao didn't get angry at all. Said softly: "I never worry about losing Wan'er." Ayi put the teacup on the case, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, how about we make a deal?" Wu Zhao stared at Ayi without saying a word.Ayi continued: "I can ask the Turks to send troops to help Your Majesty, as long as your Majesty is willing to let me take Wan'er away." Wu Zhao looked at Ayi for a long time, then suddenly looked up and laughed.
After laughing, Wu Zhao said: "Ashi Na Ke Dun, there is a saying in the Central Plains that is 'Brothers fight against the wall, and the outside is protected from their insults', even if I die, I will not lure wolves into the house. What's more, Ke Dun, your Khan is not only your wife, but also more than two sons, you should save yourself first." Ayi smiled and said: "Your Majesty can't trust me? Those women in Khan are no different from dead people in my eyes. They just need them to attract Khan's attention." Wu Zhao waved his sleeves: "I don't care whether you are capable or not. In the past, you spent most of your efforts to save Wan'er, and now you are willing to exchange soldiers for Wan'er. Son, I believe in your heart for Wan'er. However, you are not standing still in Turkic, so how will Wan'er be better if she follows you to Turkic?"
Ayi was a little disbelieving: "Your Majesty will let me take Wan'er away?" Wu Zhao's face was as flat as water: "I can't stay with her forever, I must find a reliable person to take care of her. But right now, you don't have the ability to take good care of Wan'er." " Ayian nodded: "Didn't Her Majesty start as a queen? I may not be worse than Her Majesty in the future. I will also let Wan'er see that what you can do, I can do .I will treat her better than you. At least she will follow me without worrying that I will be unfaithful to her."
Wu Zhao glanced at the door curtain, and said, "Then you should do it quickly. I can't wait too long." Ayi understood but was also confused: "What does Your Majesty mean?" Wu Zhao raised his eyebrows and looked at the desktop: "I have been poisoned before, and my body has lost its vitality. This year, the imperial doctor told me that my body will not survive ten years." Ayi was silent for a while, and said: "Within ten years, I will return to the Central Plains and take Wan'er away." Wu Zhao nodded: "You go." Ayi stood up and bowed: "Before I come to pick up Wan'er, please take good care of Wan'er, Your Majesty. Let me go."
Shangguan Wan'er in this room was watched several times by people, and when she came back, she said that Wushang Palace was guarding His Majesty's tent to keep people from approaching.Since sister Tuan'er was guarding it personally, it must be that something important happened to the court.Shangguan Wan'er was a little worried, fearing that something might go wrong with Xiao Jing.I was bored, holding my cheek in one hand, and fiddled with the bonfire with a stick in the other. "Wan'er." It was Ayi.Shangguan Wan'er got up quickly.Ayi looked at Shangguan Wan'er under the light of the bonfire, her hair was slightly raised, her face was quiet, beautiful and dignified.Shangguan Wan'er saw that Ayi didn't speak and just stared at her, a little embarrassed, so she asked, "What's wrong with Ayi? Can I help you with anything?" Ayi smiled and said, "Take care of yourself and wait for me." It’s been a great help to come back.”
Shangguan Wan'er breathed a sigh of relief, and asked, "Are you going back to Turkic?" Ayi nodded, "Wan'er, I will not wrong you. When I am qualified to take you away, I will come to pick you up." " Shangguan Wan'er didn't know what she was talking about, and said vaguely: "I am His Majesty's person, and I will only be with His Majesty. Be careful on the road." Ayi smiled, and suddenly hugged Shangguan Wan'er into her arms .Shangguan Wan'er was startled and was about to break free, but she was no match for Ayi, she just felt that Ayi's arms locked her tightly like an iron hoop.Shangguan Wan'er was furious, and was about to lose her temper when Ayi suddenly kissed her lips again.Shangguan Wan'er was shocked, and suddenly remembered that Ayi had treated her so lightly before leaving many years ago, she was furious and struggled desperately.
In the end, Ayi finally let go of her, and Shangguan Wan'er felt her lips hurt a little.It must be swollen, let His Majesty see it, what would she think of herself.Shangguan Wan'er remained silent with a cold face.Ayi stretched out her hand to hold Shangguan Wan'er's shoulder: "Wan'er, I'm leaving, you have to be good." Shangguan Wan'er didn't look at Ayi, but looked into the distance and said: "Be careful on the road, go back to the grassland Live a good life." Ayi shook Shangguan Wan'er's shoulder: "We haven't seen each other for a long time this time, please turn around and let me see you." Shangguan Wan'er neither replied nor turned her head.Ayi laughed and said, "I'll kiss you if I don't look back." Shangguan Wan'er was afraid that she would really mess up again, so she turned around and looked at her.Ayi looked at Shangguan Wan'er frowning, with an angry and helpless look on her face.Such a beautiful woman, it's a pity to leave soon.
Shangguan Wan'er watched Ayi disappear into the darkness, and finally felt relieved, feeling a little strange.Appearing inexplicably and disappearing inexplicably.However, it's good to leave. If you stay here for a long time, you will inevitably be noticed.The emperor's concubine and
