Shangguan Wan'er got on the carriage back to the Prince's Mansion and couldn't help crying anymore.Cheng Yiwei, who was sorting out the gadgets she just bought from the street, was taken aback, so she hurriedly asked what happened.

Shangguan Wan'er cried until she couldn't make a sound, while Cheng Yiwei watched from the side, anxious and distressed.She only left for an hour, how could there be such a big change.She had served Shangguan Wan'er for so long, and she had never seen her cry so sadly.What happened in the consort's mansion?

Cheng Yiwei ordered the servant to drive back to the house, and went back to Shangguan Wan'er to pat her on the back.Shangguan Wan'er knew that she was still out there and couldn't do anything wrong, but the secret she kept guarding was suddenly revealed to others, and she almost hurt the person she liked.Moreover, how should she face Princess Taiping in the future?How would Princess Taiping treat her?

After about a cup of tea, Shangguan Wan'er finally calmed down, only sobbing from time to time.Cheng Yiwei hurriedly asked her: "Girl, what happened?"

Shangguan Wan'er bit her lip and looked at Cheng Yiwei, how dare she let more people know. "Yiwei, I can't say."

Unexpectedly, after worrying for a long time, she got such an answer. Cheng Yiwei asked her angrily, "Why can't you tell me?" She suddenly came to her senses, and said sadly, "Girl, you don't believe me."

Cheng Yiwei's throat seemed to be blocked and she couldn't breathe. She held her breath tightly to prevent tears from falling from her mouth.She didn't know why she was so sad.However, I really don't deserve the girl's trust.The girl drank the musk and saffron wine that he had prepared for her every day for nearly two years.He is the girl's enemy at all.She also wanted to serve the girl Zhouquan wholeheartedly, but God didn't follow her wishes, and the Empress Empress held her sister's life in her hands, so she was forced to do nothing.Who knew how sad she felt when she watched the girl drink the wine she handed her every day.

Shangguan Wan'er couldn't care less about Guan Cheng Yiwei at this time, she just perfunctorily said: "Yiwei, I will explain to you when I have a chance in the future. My mind is very messed up now, don't be angry, okay?"

Hearing the sound of the wheels rolling, Shangguan Wan'er suddenly remembered that they were going back to the Prince's Mansion.Should she... go find Tianhou?There must be a way in the future.No matter, she really can't handle these many things alone, this time she will let Tian Hou try to keep her no matter what.Thinking of this, Shangguan Wan'er immediately lifted the curtain of the car, and said to the servant: "We are not going back to the Prince's Mansion, we are going to the palace."

Cheng Yiwei didn't care about being sad, and asked in surprise: "Miss, what are you doing in the palace?"

Shangguan Wan'er was in a state of confusion at this time, and couldn't think of any reason for a moment, so she replied casually: "I haven't seen Tianhou for a long time, and I want to go see her."

There is an intimacy that cannot be concealed in the words.While Cheng Yiwei was surprised that Shangguan Wan'er didn't have the awe of slaves and masters towards the empress, at the same time she was secretly surprised that she was so familiar with the empress that she must trust her very much, but the empress did not treat her like that.Thinking of Shangguan Wan'er being killed so miserably without knowing it, Cheng Yiwei secretly clenched her fists, she must think of a way to save the girl.

When they reached the gate of the palace, the two got out of the carriage, let the young man drive the carriage back, and then walked towards the Ganlu Palace.When they arrived, they found that Wu Meiniang was not there. When they asked Liu Niang and Tuan'er, the maid also shook her head.Shangguan Wan'er was depressed for a while, and instead of going back to the side hall, she just sat in the corridor and waited.

Cheng Yiwei watched Shangguan Wan'er keep glancing at the gate, knowing that she intended to sit here and wait, so she didn't bother to persuade her, and went straight back to the side hall to get her cloak and tie it up for her.After about half an hour, I saw Wu Meiniang approaching, followed by Liu Niang, Tuan'er and a group of maids.

"The Queen of Heaven..." Shangguan Wan'er immediately ran over and threw herself into Wu Meiniang's arms.The first time she saw Wu Meiniang, she felt infinitely wronged in her heart, and tears welled up in her eyes.

Wu Meiniang accidentally saw Shangguan Wan'er at this moment, and before she had time to say anything, she found that Shangguan Wan'er was crying, her face immediately turned cold, she stretched out her arms to hug Shangguan Wan'er, but her eyes were on Cheng Yiwei.

How did Cheng Yiwei know, even though she knelt on the ground under Wu Meiniang's menacing gaze, she could only shake her head: "Qi Tian Empress, I don't know why the girl is sad."

Wu Meiniang didn't know why, seeing Shangguan Wan'er sobbing and crying, it was not easy to ask her, so she had to let everyone back down first, hugged Shangguan Wan'er herself, and asked while patting her back: "Wan'er , who bullied you?" I wondered in my heart, could it be that the crown prince failed to propose marriage and used force on Wan'er?

Shangguan Wan'er was hugged by Wu Meiniang, feeling her warm and safe breath, her flustered heart gradually calmed down, and she slowly stopped crying.She looked around, and there was a maid standing in the distance, and said softly: "Tianhou, let's go back to the palace."

The two sat down in the hall, Wu Meiniang looked at Shangguan Wan'er's eyes were red and swollen from crying, and her temple hair was a little disheveled, she suppressed her anger and asked, "Wan'er, what happened?"

Shangguan Wan'er lowered her head and slowly told what happened in the son-in-law's mansion.

When Wu Meiniang heard this, she was both angry and funny, she stretched out her hand and hugged her in her arms, and said with a smile: "You have a guilty conscience. Seeing you crying like this, I thought something was wrong."

Shangguan Wan'er immediately stood up and stretched out her fist to beat Wu Meiniang's shoulder.She was terrified all the way because of this matter, but Wu Meiniang could still laugh.

Wu Meiniang reached out to hold her hand, and said with a smile: "Look at you, you have lived in the Prince's Mansion for almost two years, but you didn't make any progress at all, and you were bluffed all of a sudden. You, if you mention this matter in Taiping in the future, you will If you refuse to admit it to her, what can she do to you?"

Shangguan Wan'er was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said, "But, I already admitted it at that time..."

"Idiot," Wu Meiniang smiled and tugged at Shangguan Wan'er's ear, "There was no one else at the time, it was just a sentence, and the so-called empty words are without evidence."

It seems to be oh.Shangguan Wan'er suddenly realized.Wu Meiniang smiled and took out the jade pendant from Shangguan Wan'er's neck, looked at it, and put it on for her again.

"Come on, follow me inside, I'll comb your hair." Wu Meiniang pulled Shangguan Wan'er and walked towards the inner hall.

Looking at Wu Meiniang combing her hair in the mirror, Shangguan Wan'er hesitated for a moment and asked, "Tian Hou, have you thought of a way to call me back now?"

Wu Meiniang pondered for a while, then said casually: "If you like it, you don't have to go back from now on?"

"Really?" Shangguan Wan'er was overjoyed, and immediately jumped up to see if Wu Meiniang was serious, forgetting that Wu Meiniang was combing her hair, she let out a cry of pain.

Wu Meiniang hurriedly rubbed the top of her head, and said angrily, "Why are you getting older and more reckless? Does it still hurt?"

Shangguan Wan'er didn't care about her hair, she grabbed Wu Meiniang's arm and asked, "I really don't need to go back? Can I live in the palace today?"

Wu Meiniang hummed, and then she saw Shangguan Wan'er smiling like a flower, then someone hooked her neck, and then she was kissed.Then Wu Meiniang also became happy.No matter what the child heard from others, he still treated her the same in his heart as before.

Wu Meiniang combed Shangguan Wan'er's hair, and was about to deliver dinner, when Shangguan Wan'er tugged at her sleeve: "My queen, when I was in the prince's mansion, the princess took care of me a lot, wouldn't it be too shameful for me to leave without saying goodbye?" Salute? Shall I go back and say goodbye to the princess?"

Wu Meiniang laughed loudly when she heard this: "Does my Wan'er know how to write rites? I thought Wan'er has no one else in her eyes except herself."

Shangguan Wan'er was ashamed and annoyed when she heard the words, and pinched Wu Meiniang hard on her arm.Wu Meiniang still couldn't stop laughing, Shangguan Wan'er gave her a glare, went to the side hall and called Cheng Yiwei out of the palace.Wu Meiniang then called into the group and asked her to accompany their master and servant back to the Prince's Mansion, while she ordered Liu Niang to bring in wine and drink it herself.

The chess game she had planned for a long time finally came to the first move today, and the subsequent advances and retreats are all in her hands.Such a situation is not easy to come by, how can we not celebrate it?

"Cuizhu, get ready, follow me to the prince and report this matter to the prince." After Shangguan Wan'er and her party left, the princess said to the maid Cuizhu.

Cui Zhu stepped forward and reported: "The prince was called into the palace by the emperor, and he has not yet returned."

"Oh," the princess sat down again, looked carefully at the bronze mirror, and said, "I really don't understand why Shangguan Wan'er has delayed leaving until now. You said that since she rejected the emperor's offer of marriage, then What are you still doing here? From what I've seen, she hasn't done anything this year?"

"Your servant doesn't understand either," Cuizhu smiled perfunctorily, then stepped forward and said in a low voice, "Mother, do you really want to tell the prince about Shangguan Wan'er's return to the palace?"

"That's natural." The princess turned around and looked at Cuizhu suspiciously, "It's not like you don't know how much the prince cares about Shangguan Wan'er. If I keep this matter a secret, the prince will know in the future Don't you want to vent your anger on me?"

Cui Zhu shook her head, and said, "According to my maidservant's opinion, it is better for the Crown Princess to suppress this matter. The Crown Princess herself also knows that the Crown Prince has a good impression of Shangguan Wan'er. If the Crown Prince is told the news of Shangguan Wan'er's return to the palace, the Crown Prince will definitely Go to the empress to get her back. The prince has never gone to see Shangguan Wan'er since the proposal failed. The prince finally calmed down his thoughts on Shangguan Wan'er. Wouldn't it be better if we reminded him to lift a stone at himself? And if we keep this matter secret, even if the crown prince finds out about it in the future, the affection will fade at that time. At worst, he will be reprimanded, which is better than letting the crown prince bring Shangguan Wan'er back. Think about it, princess, If that Shangguan Wan'er comes back, if we continue to get along with the crown prince, we will be in trouble for a long time, and then we will be in trouble."

The princess concentrating on thinking, nodded, and then decided to suppress the news of Shangguan Wan'er's return to the palace. On the one hand, she ordered Cuizhu to call in all the maids who were waiting on the side just now and told them not to leak the news. As soon as I get back to the mansion, I will report to her.

Li Xian was rushed into the palace by the emperor just after lunch.Seeing the serious face of Eunuch Gao who came to deliver Li Zhi's oral instructions, Li Xian did not dare to neglect, and immediately prepared his car and entered the palace.

When Li Zhi saw Li Xian coming in, he waved all the attendants to retreat, and ordered Gao He to stand guard at the gate of the hall not to allow anyone to approach, then motioned Li Xian to sit down, and asked: "Did you send someone to kill Ming and Qingyuan?" ?”

"Mr. Ming was killed?" Li Xian was stunned, and suddenly remembered something, grabbed Li Zhi's arm and asked eagerly, "Father, what should you do about your illness?"

Seeing Li Xian's reaction like this, Li Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, and his shoulders relaxed: "It's fine if you didn't kill him. Then Ming Qingyuan belonged to your mother. If he dies, your mother will not let it go. You now have wings It's still weak, not enough to compete with her, so don't be caught by her." After thinking for a while, he asked, "Could it be those people in your house who did it? How many young people are there among your officials? It’s so angry, it’s not like they shot it, right?”

Li Xian shook his head: "No. I have always told them that Dr. Ming has made great contributions to treating the father's illness, so they should not be violent to Dr. Ming." After speaking, he asked anxiously, "Father, Ming Qingyuan died. What happened to your illness? manage?"

Li Zhi smiled and waved his hands, with a relaxed expression on his face: "Your grandpa Taizong passed away just after the year of his destiny. I have lived 2 years longer than your grandpa this year. What is there to be dissatisfied with? Me," Li Zhi patted Patting Li Xian on the shoulder, "As long as I can see that you have mastered the situation in the court and securely grasped the foundation of our Li family, I can go to see your grandpa Taizong with peace of mind."

"Royal father." Li Xian felt great grief, choked up and couldn't speak for a moment.

Li Zhi didn't take it seriously at all, and told him with a smile: "I have asked the people from the criminal department to thoroughly investigate this case, and your mother will definitely seize this matter. Other people's tricks. Also," Li Zhi suddenly grabbed Li Xian's shoulders, "After you go back, if you find out that someone in your house did it, you must kill this person immediately, and your mother must not find out."

"Father." Li Xian hesitated.He knew that his father did everything for him, but if it was really done by someone in his house, it was also for him. How could he put to death the person who was loyal to him and even committed murder for him? ?

"If you want to make it up to him, just pack him up afterwards and send someone to take care of his family." Li Zhi stared into Li Xian's eyes and said, "Xian'er, the matter has reached a critical point. Great. Keeping our Li family's country is more important than anything else. Do you understand?"

Li Xian nodded with difficulty.
