Confidante Saisuke

November.More than ten prefectures in Jiangnan, Huainan, and Jiannan were hit by waterlogging, and heavy rain fell for more than [-] consecutive days.Hundreds of thousands of people were displaced.Roads were washed away, houses were flooded, and fields were destroyed.Rumors abounded in the market, all saying that Wu Zhao ascended the throne of the emperor as a woman and offended the heavens.It rained heavily from the sky to blame Wu Zhao.Those who spread rumors killed batch after batch, but the heavy rain continued and the rumors intensified.

Wu Zhao was calm on the surface, but secretly worried.The fact that this incident happened right after he ascended the throne, isn't this the best excuse for those people who harbor Li Tang's heart to rebel?After waiting for another six or seven days, it was reported that the heavy rain still did not stop.Wu Zhao let out a long sigh, and that's all, he picked up a pen and wrote the three words "Sin Ji Zhao"... The next day, Wu Zhao fasted and ordered all the bureaus to prepare sacrificial vessels and sacrifices.Three days later, the incense table in front of the Wu family's ancestral temple was placed horizontally. Wu Zhao knelt up and down on the brocade mat in front of the table, held incense, and prayed with his eyes closed. It is all because of my immorality! The crime lies with me, so don’t dare to forgive yourself. From now on, I will respect God in the palace, and take care of the crime..." Wu Zhao suddenly In a rage, he threw the incense on the ground and said in a hateful voice: "Shut up! Shut up! What's wrong with me? Since the middle palace, I've been sleeping all day long, and I haven't been idle for more than thirty years." Politics. I ask myself, I am worthy of the gods above, and worthy of the people below, and I am not wrong!" The internal officer fell to his knees and trembled.Wu Zhao stepped forward, snatched the edict, tore it a few times without tearing it apart, then threw it on the ground and stomped it several times.

Wu Zhao stood up straight, looked at the internal officials and courtiers kneeling on the ground below, looked up to the sky and said loudly: "By God, if you think that it is wrong for me, Wu Zhao, to be the emperor as a woman, then leave me alone. If I, Wu Zhao, are right, I order you to stop the rain. Otherwise, you are a godless god, and I will never bow down to you." Wu Zhao was out of breath after speaking, and walked straight down the steps go down.However, he has had restless sleep and food for the past few days, and just now he was extremely angry, and he felt dizzy and dizzy when he walked halfway.An internal officer nearby quickly supported Wu Zhao: "Your Majesty. Your Majesty." Wu Zhao's body gradually softened.

The imperial hospital was in a hurry in the Tongming Hall, and Wu Zhao woke up leisurely.However, this disease is a heart disease.If the floods in the south are not eliminated, the heart disease is hard to get rid of.After raising the general for two days, He Danggui was nowhere to be seen. Wu Zhao asked the maids of the left and right strangely: "Where is Danggui?" Don't eat." Wu Zhao shook his head, this is simply nonsense.

After drinking the decoction, Wu Zhao came to the ancestral temple.A woman in red, with her long hair untied, knelt in front of the incense table and remained motionless.Wu Zhao approached, grabbed her hand and tried to pull her up: "Danggui, what are you doing? Go back with me." He Danggui turned his head and smiled, "Your Majesty, are you feeling better?" But his body didn't move, The hand was also withdrawn.Wu Zhao stared at He Danggui and asked, "Do you also think I was wrong? Are you praying for God's forgiveness for me?" He Danggui hurriedly fell on the ground: "Danggui dare not. It's just that Danggui wants Danggui to be without virtue and talent, so I can help you." It’s nothing to do to His Majesty. Angelica has only one life. Angelica wants to pray to God, if you get angry, you can take Angelica’s life to vent your anger, so that it won’t rain anymore.” Wu Zhao sighed: “It’s useless. Get up, Come back with me." He Danggui shook his head: "Your Majesty is in good health, go back and recuperate. Danggui wants to stay here, one is to pray to God not to rain again, and the other is to ask God to bless His Majesty's holy body and health." Wu Zhao said helplessly: " Then I will go back first. The papers for these two days have not been approved yet, so I cannot stay here with you." He Danggui leaned down again: "Danggui is a respectful gift to Your Majesty. Danggui is very good, Your Majesty don't have to worry about Danggui. Your Majesty, take care of yourself His body is fine. Danggui's whole life will be honored and humiliated by His Majesty." Seeing He Danggui's determination, Wu Zhao had no choice but to go back.

"This Silent Khan is really hateful. He said on the battlefield that as long as Li Tang's people are the emperor, he will immediately bow his head and plead guilty. But now the name of the Central Plains is Da Zhou, and he wants to seek justice for Da Tang." Xiao Jing said bitterly, wishing she could personally go to the battlefield to capture Mo Chuo Khan and let him kneel down to Wu Zhao for mercy.Wu Zhao said with a smile: "He also wanted to confuse the soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty, or he also wanted to encourage those who did not give up to commit rebellion and cooperate with each other. We have seen this kind of scene in the Yangzhou rebellion. After that, don’t worry about it. Xue Huaiyi has some fighting skills, just wait for his news.”

At this time, the maid reported that Song Zhaohua asked to see him.Wu Zhao waved Xiao Jing back.Song Zhaohua came here to report after receiving a secret report that Shangguan Wan'er was seriously injured by jumping off a cliff.Recently, her subordinates have quietly executed many unruly people in various places, and she also knew that Wu Zhao fell ill due to the flood in the south, so she was very hesitant to tell Wu Zhao about it to make her even worse.When I was waiting to be summoned at the door just now, I happened to hear the conversation between Wu Zhao and Xiao Jing, and made up my mind.When the mountain rain is about to come, how can His Majesty be distracted by such trivial matters.

"Zhaohua, but someone wants to rebel again?" Song Zhaohua rarely came to Wu Zhao in the first half of the day, so Wu Zhao asked this question.Song Zhaohua replied: "The subordinates haven't noticed anyone rioting yet. Those who have ideas have already seen it, and those who have made moves have come to fruition. Zhaohua is here for Waner's business." Wu Zhao couldn't help laughing: "That child is coming Is there a problem for you?" Song Zhaohua replied: "That's not true. It was when the subordinates were fighting with that Turkic woman, and the Turkic woman wanted to hold Wan'er as a hostage, but Wan'er couldn't dodge and rolled down the hillside and was injured a little bit. The subordinates were busy rescuing Wan'er, and let the Turkic woman escape." Wu Zhao nodded and said, "It's just a secret search, she can't do much with a Jianghu girl. Was Wan'er seriously injured? "Song Zhaohua reported: "It's just some skin trauma. Just be careful. I want to ask Your Majesty to send the imperial physician there to have a look." Wu Zhao sighed: "Since you want to send the imperial physician, the injury should not be light. You let Zhang imperial physician Choose a few suitable people to take care of her. This child has been suffering from various disasters since she was a child, and she has been suffering from major illnesses and minor pains, which always makes people worry. I really can't leave these days, and I will go to see her when I am free." Song Zhaohua hastily Take orders and go.

When Shangguan Wan'er was put on the bed, the Crown Princess arrived.The two haven't seen each other for many years, and they don't know what to say when they meet suddenly.When we met back then, one was the concubine who was married to a famous family, and the whole world thought she was the future queen;Now, one is the female favorite of Her Majesty the Empress who has slandered all over the world; the other is the widow of the prince who has been deposed as a commoner.The ups and downs of the world are like hope, and the white clouds and dogs are in an instant.The vicissitudes of life have come to this.

"Wan'er, I heard that you were injured. I have sent Uncle Han to invite a doctor. Please bear with me for a while." The princess Fang is as gentle as before, but her grace and luxury have become clouds. Light breeze.Shangguan Wan'er said with a smile: "Please trouble the Crown Princess." Fang said with a smile: "The Crown Prince has long been abolished as a commoner, and I am no longer the Crown Princess. You can call me Sister Fang from now on." The paper is thin, and the world is like a chess game.Wu Meiniang's reputation as a favored woman is well known, and Li Xian was killed by Wu Meiniang, Shangguan Wan'er didn't know what to say for a while.Seeing that the two were relatively speechless, Mrs. Fang said: "Wan'er rest first. When the doctor arrives, I will bring her to see Wan'er." Shangguan Wan'er nodded: "Please trouble the prince...Sister Fang."

Fang smiled, turned around and went out, walked back to the door and took a few steps back, looked at Shangguan Wan'er and said, "Wan'er, I am very grateful to you for sending those 13 souls home a few days ago. Also," Fang said somewhat As if embarrassed, "Back then in Chang'an, you came to the Prince's mansion as a guest. I thought you were going to be the prince's side concubine, so I tested you a lot. Now that I think about it, I was too narrow-minded, and I always wanted to apologize to you in person." Shangguan Wan'er smiled and said, "It's nothing. Besides, Sister Fang didn't do anything." Fang nodded, "I've thought through a lot of things after living here, and I'm very uneasy about the mistakes I made before. If we can have I am very happy to have the opportunity to apologize in person." Shangguan Wan'er smiled: "Sister Fang is serious. It's really nothing."

After a cup of tea, Fang brought an old woman to see Shangguan Wan'er.After hearing and asking, the old lady left the prescription.Fang took the prescription and was going to ask someone to grab the medicine.Shangguan Wan'er called Fang Shi: "Sister Fang, I haven't bathed for several days. Can you ask someone to wipe my body?" Shangguan Wan'er blushed after she finished speaking.In the past, only Wu Zhao and Cheng Yiwei wiped her body in the palace.But now she can't move by herself, so she can only let someone else do it.Fang Shi nodded and said with a smile, "Then I'll let Mother Han come over later."

At night, everything is silent, and the room is full of moonlight.Shangguan Wan'er's chest and knees were burning like fire at one moment, pricking with needles at another moment, numb and itchy at another moment, but the slightest movement caused pain to the heart.The body that had just been wiped was already sweating several times.While gritting his teeth, he suddenly heard the sound of the window lattice.Surprised, he turned his head slightly, and sure enough a figure was reflected on the window.Bai Ling told himself that he would be on vigil outside, who is this?

Shangguan Wan'er called out in a low voice: "Bailing, Bailing." The person outside said pleasantly: "Wan'er, it's me. You are indeed here." It turned out to be Ayi.Shangguan Wan'er breathed a sigh of relief.Ayi finally pushed aside the wooden bolt, pulled up the window and jumped in.He rushed to Shangguan Wan'er's bed in a few steps, leaned over and looked at her: "Wan'er, are you okay?" Shangguan Wan'er shook her head, "I'm fine. There are His Majesty's people outside, so go away." Ayi was depressed Said: "Tell me to leave as soon as we meet. Why are you so cruel? Well, I'm here to say goodbye to you. You don't have to think I'm an eyesore anymore." Shangguan Wan'er smiled: "I didn't mean that. You Now the kungfu is not as good as before. Your Majesty’s bodyguards must be more kung fu. I’m afraid you won’t be able to fight and get injured. You have saved my life, so why would I think you are an eyesore.” Ayi said with a smile: “This Not bad." He sighed again, "Unfortunately, I can't wait for your injury to heal and take you away, I have to go back to the grassland first."

Shangguan Wan'er nodded: "Go back early. His Majesty's people are everywhere, you are not safe here." Ayi couldn't help complaining: "Do you feel that you don't want me at all? Don't you ask me Why did you go back first?" Shangguan Wan'er asked with a smile, "Then why did you go back first?" Ayi sighed, and sat down sideways beside the bed: "Your Majesty the Queen sent troops to attack us Turks. I Abba and elder brother are both great generals of the Turks. Every time they fight, I have to go to the battlefield. This time I heard that the old woman sent the person who defeated King Jieli to fight us. I am afraid of Abba I’m at a disadvantage with my brother and the others, so I have to go back quickly.” She held Shangguan Wan’er’s hand and said, “Wan’er, your injury is not healed. I shouldn’t leave you at this time, but...” Shangguan Wan’er said hastily: "I'm fine. They'll take care of me. It's your business, go ahead."

Ayi nodded: "I know, I just miss you. Don't worry, Wan'er, I will come to you when the Turkic incident is over." Shangguan Wan'er just said: "Be careful yourself." Yi nodded, then smiled and said: "I'm leaving, don't you plan to give me something?" Shangguan Wan'er was taken aback for a moment, thought for a while, and said embarrassedly: "I don't have anything on me, really. I don’t have anything to give. After you leave, I will pray to God to bless you.” Ayi said with a smile, “You have what you have, but you must not be willing. I will take it.” Shangguan Wan’er was about to ask What, Ayi suddenly reached out and pinched her chin and kissed her.Shangguan Wan'er was startled, but after a little struggle, her knee hurt unbearably, so she had to beat her arm hard.Ayi reached out and grabbed her wrist.

When Ayi raised her head, Shangguan Wan'er's face was covered with a layer of frost.Ayi stretched out her hand to cover her eyes: "Wan'er, don't look at me like that. I just love you." Shangguan Wan'er said: "It's getting late, you have to leave tomorrow, go back and rest " Ayi begged her: "I don't know when I will see you again after leaving this time. Wan'er, please give me a smile." Shangguan Wan'er ignored her.Ayi lightly shook Shangguan Waner's hand: "Waner, give me a smile." Shangguan Waner reluctantly smiled.Only then did Ayi stand up: "Wan'er, I'm leaving. Take care of yourself." Shangguan Wan'er hummed, suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly called her: "What did you do to Bai Ling?" Ayi was stunned , and then said: "You mean the woman outside. I didn't kill her, but just tapped her acupuncture points. Don't worry, I won't kill these people, and I will keep them to take care of you." Ayi finally put down Shangguan Wan'er's hand: "Wan'er, I really have to go." Shangguan Wan'er hummed, "Take care on the way." Ayi jumped out of the window again.Shangguan Wan'er turned her head and watched the shadow of the window on the ground slowly falling asleep.

Luoyang.Wu's Ancestral Temple.

Wei Wang Wu Chengsi came out of the ancestral temple to worship He Danggui.He Danggui has not eaten a grain of rice for seven days, but only drinks some water.After seven days, his face was pale and his expression was a little haggard.Against the backdrop of the red dress, the whole person became weaker and weaker. "Miss He, why do you do this? We are the ones who handle the affairs of the court. Miss He only needs to enjoy the honor, why bother to suffer this?" He Danggui looked at the attendants standing far away and smiled softly Smile: "This is the only way Angelica can think of to help, please ask Wu Xiang to complete it." Wu Chengsi looked at her pale lips, and said pitifully: "Miss He is so delicate, and my aunt is too willing to change it. I absolutely can't let Miss He torture me like this."

He Danggui glanced at Wu Chengsi, his heart moved, and he lowered his head and said, "Danggui originally lived under the shade of His Majesty. Without His Majesty's protection, Danggui would die without a place to bury him. Now that His Majesty is in trouble, how dare Danggui not try his best?" Wu Chengsi clicked his tongue, and immediately said: "Miss Danggui's words are wrong. Although Chengsi is not talented, he is still the King of Wei in the Great Zhou Dynasty. If Miss Danggui needs help, just come to me. I will definitely help." He Danggui shook his head, and said sadly: "Wei Wang is a manly man, and he doesn't understand women's suffering. Your Majesty, she treats Danggui very well, but...Danggui knows how to repay her kindness, and serves His Majesty carefully. Wei Wang's It is a good intention, and Danggui accepts it." Wu Chengsi snorted: "I don't understand. Women in the world are most afraid of being entrusted to someone else. Miss Danggui is nothing more than worrying about having nowhere to go in the future. Don't worry, with me, Wu Chengsi, Miss Danggui I will never suffer from the ups and downs." He Danggui raised his head, his eyes full of tears: "Wei Wang, Danggui is His Majesty's favored woman, and if I get close to Wei Wang, I am afraid that it will drag Wei Wang down. Wei Wang should go quickly. "

Wu Chengsi comforted: "My aunt is busy with disaster relief in the south recently, it's fine. They are all my people here, so I won't talk nonsense. I just see Miss Danggui here in the sun and rain, and it really hurts. Don't be polite, Ms. Danggui. If you have anything to say, just speak up." He Danggui burst into tears: "Danggui doesn't ask for anything else. If King Wei really loves Danggui, it would be great if he could come and see Danggui more. Danggui is here these few days to pray for His Majesty to heaven. Angelica came to visit alone. Angelica is so sad." Wu Chengsi nodded quickly: "Okay, I will definitely come to see you. This is also the ancestral temple of our Wu family. I am the head of the Wu family, so I should pay more respects to my ancestors."

Watching Wu Chengsi go away, He Danggui took out a handkerchief to wipe away his tears, looked at the mysterious case with cigarettes curling up, and smiled silently.

The author has something to say: Ayi: Wan'er, just smile.

Shangguan Wan'er: Don't laugh.

Ayi: Wan'er, just smile.

Shangguan Wan'er: It's funny to laugh.

Ayi: Then I will give you a smile.
