Confidante Saisuke

Recently Wu Zhao is in a good mood.According to the secret report, she calculated that Shangguan Jing'er and Li Xian's family would soon arrive in Luoyang.When Wan'er returns to Luoyang, she will be declared into the palace.The two went to court together and returned to the palace together, which seemed to be a good idea.Wu Zhao looked at the chrysanthemum leisurely.

At this time, the maid came to report, and Xiao Jing asked to see her.Since Di Renjie was reinstated, Xiao Jing has repeatedly complained of illness and was unable to go to court. It can be said that the position of the right minister is useless.Wu Zhao returned to the hall while guessing Xiao Jing's purpose.Seeing Wu Zhao enter the palace, Xiao Jing immediately got up and walked in front of Wu Zhao, cupped her hands and said, "Your Majesty, I heard a shocking news yesterday. After thinking about it for a long time last night, I couldn't decide whether the news is true or not. I am here to report it to Your Majesty. Please, Your Majesty." Ming Jian." Xiao Jing is not a person who scares people, or it is right to take things lightly.Things that can make her sleepless... Wu Zhao immediately asked: "What news?" Xiao Jing didn't mince words: "Yesterday, Ji Xu came to the minister's mansion and said that he saw a female Taoist priest and Wan'er in Tanzhou. They look exactly the same." Wu Zhao suddenly lost his voice: "What?" Xiao Jing nodded slightly, and continued: "He said that the female Taoist priest claimed to have forgotten all the past because of illness." Wu Zhao froze on the chair for a long time, Fang asked Said: "Where is the person?" Xiao Jing hurriedly replied: "Ji Xu is in the minister's house." Wu Zhao said in a deep voice: "Bring him to see me immediately." Xiao Jing took the order and left in a hurry.

After Xiao Jing left, Wu Zhao still hadn't recovered from the shock.Thousands of miles away, there is a person who looks exactly like her Wan'er, and also lost his memory.Who is her Wan'er?Wu Zhao's doubts are getting bigger and bigger, but he can't believe that someone is so bold.Besides, why are there two identical people?Wu Zhao was restless in the palace, and after waiting for 100 years, finally the maid reported Xiao Jing's arrival.

After Ji Xu explained in detail what he had seen and heard in Tanzhou, Wu Zhao pondered for a while, and then asked: "The female Taoist priest with her knows martial arts?" Ji Xu shook his head: "Little People can't be sure. Just seeing the female Taoist priest holding the chopsticks in her hands, she put down the chopsticks and stretched them under the table after listening to the villain's question. With precautions, it will be difficult to find after hiding." Wu Zhao nodded: "You have done a good job. You ask the maid outside to take you to see the painter, and draw these three female Taoist priests to show me. "Ji Xu took the order to go down.

Xiao Jing then stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, what should we do with the Shangguan bachelor?" Wu Zhao tapped the table a few times and said, "I don't know if this news is true or not, and besides, I don't know who the female Taoist priest is. Leave her alone." Xiao Jing cupped her hands, "It's Your Majesty. The minister will leave." Wu Zhao nodded, and when Xiao Jing went out, he ordered the maid to call Wu Tuan'er.After Wu Tuan'er entered the hall, seeing Wu Zhao's serious face, he quickly asked, "Your Majesty, what's the matter?" Wu Zhao slowly shook his head, "I can't see it yet. Go ask Cheng Kejin to see me." Wu Tuan'er knew that something serious had happened, so he didn't dare to neglect, and hurried down.

Not long after, Ji Xu came back and presented the portraits of the three female Taoist priests.Wu Zhao took it, and the one on top was the female Taoist priest who looked exactly like Shangguan Wan'er.Wu Zhao closed his eyes and calmed down for a while, then looked over again, and he was exactly the same as Wan'er.After casually glancing at the portraits of the other two female Taoist priests, Wu Zhao turned back to look at that portrait.That face was clearly her Wan'er's face.Wu Zhao really wanted to take Shangguan Wan'er's mother into the palace to ask for clarification, but she was afraid that if something happened, Shangguan Jing'er would not let her go when she came back.Why bother to make her angry because of misty things, the one who finally coaxed her back.Wu Zhao finally endured the plan to call Shangguan Wan'er's mother into the palace.

After Cheng Kejin entered the palace, Wu Zhao had thought it over and gave an order directly: "You take about 20 people to go to Tanzhou with him, and find the three people on the portrait. The female Taoist priest who looks like Wan'er, it's better to be good." Convince her to come to see me with good words, if not, no matter what means, as long as it doesn't hurt her, she must be brought to see me. As for the other two female Taoist priests, they may have kung fu, so if they don't hurt them, they won't hurt , It’s really not possible, just save your life and be able to talk, and bring it to see me.” Cheng Kejin knew that the matter was important, and immediately cupped his hands and said: “Subordinates will make arrangements, and we can leave in half an hour.” Wu Zhao After groaning, he continued: "You also send some people to secretly watch the residence of Princess Xuancheng and the residence of Shangguan's scholar, remember not to let them notice." Anyone who is personally responsible for this matter, if there is any change, report it directly to His Majesty."

Wu Zhao nodded: "Let's go. If there is any accident on the road, or if you need support, send a message immediately without delay." Cheng Kejin and Ji Xu took orders and left.

More than half a month later, Shangguan Jinger and Li Xian finally arrived in Luoyang.Di Renjie and a group of officials had been waiting at the gate of the city for a long time.Seeing Li Xian on the horse, all the ministers fell to the ground with tears in their eyes, some simply cried bitterly.Li Xian was so flustered that he dismounted hastily, walked up to the ministers and made a gesture of support: "My lords, please stand up. It is my blessing to be able to return to Luoyang and recount the family relationship with Your Majesty. Everyone My lord is very happy for the reunion of our mother and son, I am very grateful, get up quickly." Shangguan Jing'er and Webster's group stood behind Li Xian, smiling endlessly.Wei Shi took Shangguan Jing'er's hand and said with a smile: "Our family can return to Luoyang thanks to Wan'er. We will never forget Wan'er's kindness to us." Shangguan Jing'er put his hand on Wei Shi's hand : "Prince and concubine, you are welcome. The Shangguan family will always be Li Tang's courtiers. It is the duty of courtiers to be loyal to the king, and there is no need for kindness." Webster nodded: "I will repay Wan'er."

Then the team walked into Luoyang City.The people of Luoyang City were crowded with people to see the prince who had lived in Fangzhou for a long time come back to the palace.Shangguan Jing'er and Li Xian rode in front, and heard Wei Shi's son and daughter chattering in the carriage.Shangguan Jing'er thought of the plight of their family when they arrived in Fangzhou, and Li Xian's frightened out of his wits when he thought that Wu Zhao was going to kill him, she felt a little sympathetic.The son and grandson of the phoenix should have been born with endless glory and wealth, but their lives are not as good as those of the local rich, which makes people feel so embarrassing.

A group of people staggered and finally came to Tongming Hall.After seeing the ceremony, Li Xian was so excited that he couldn't make a sound. Wu Zhao couldn't bear to see the vicissitudes on Li Xian's face, so he slowed down and said, "I have already selected a mansion for you in the city. Your family Rest well for a while." Li Xian sobbed and said, "My son hasn't seen his mother for many years, and he wants to live in the palace, so he can see his mother more often." Wei Shi was startled when he heard this, and looked at Li Xian with some complaints.Wu Zhao said with a smile: "They are the fathers of several children, and they are the prince again. If it spreads out, they are not afraid of being laughed at. You will be in Luoyang City in the future. How many opportunities do you have to meet each other? Are you afraid that you will never see them again?" Li Xian didn't dare to say any more, so Wei Shi was relieved.After saying a few casual words, Wu Zhao sent Li Xian's family back home.

Wu Zhao looked at Shangguan Jing'er for a while, and said with a smile: "This time, you can succeed in what you want?" Shangguan Jing'er smiled and said, "Didn't your majesty also see the son I haven't seen for many years? The prince and I met along the way." Talking about it, I found that the prince has a generous, benevolent and filial temperament. It is a matter of great joy for His Majesty to choose Luling King as the prince." Wu Zhao's eyes flashed, but he still smiled: "I took your mother over from Chang'an and placed it in the Shangguan Mansion. Your mother I haven't seen her for many years, let's go back and get together." Shangguan Jing'er cupped her hands and said, "The minister will retire." Wu Zhao watched her walk out of the hall.Shangguan Jing'er walked to the entrance of the main hall, stopped suddenly, turned her head and said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will fulfill my promise." Wu Zhao smiled and said: "Don't worry. I have waited for so long, and I will not miss these two or three Month. You and your mother stay together for a few more days." Shangguan Jing'er thanked her with a smile and left.The smile on Wu Zhao's face gradually faded.

A few days later, when he went to court, a minister reported that the war in Youzhou was unfavorable. The Turks attacked several cities in succession, causing heavy casualties.Xiao Jing said with a smile: "I heard that the Turkic man's proclamation said why don't you return to me, King Luling. Now that King Luling is the prince of my Great Zhou Dynasty, he happened to lead troops to Youzhou to resist the Turkic people. Those The Turkic people will surely surrender when they see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." A minister immediately stood up and said, "The Crown Prince is the crown prince of the country and the foundation of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Can you afford to be injured?" Xiao Jing said calmly: "The Wang Shilang is right, the crown prince is the crown prince of the country, and the people rely on him. Now the people are in trouble, and the rebels keep saying that if they want to see the crown prince, they will retreat. Do you want to disregard the safety of the people for your own safety? Xiao Jing remembered that Emperor Taizong once said, "Water can carry a boat or overturn it" and warned future generations to cherish the people. Taizong happened to be Emperor Yang who was innocent and the people's livelihood was difficult. Saving the people of the world from the fire and water, running here and there, taking the lead, it is not an exaggeration to say that the great Tang Dynasty was brought down by Emperor Taizong. Do you want to trap the prince in an unkind and filial place in order to win the reputation of cherishing the prince? Is it? Besides, I remember that you invited the prince back to solve the predicament in Youzhou?"

The hall suddenly fell silent.Wu Zhao smiled slightly, and said, "What's the opinion of the Shangguan bachelor?" Shangguan Jing'er cupped her hands and said, "I think Xiao Zuoxiang is right. For the sake of the people of Youzhou, the crown prince should indeed go to war in person. I believe that Taizong Gao With the blessing of Zong Zaitian's spirit, the prince will surely succeed. I am not talented, please allow me to accompany the prince to Youzhou to suppress the bandits." All the ministers knew Wu Zhao's favor for Shangguan Jing'er, and thought she would definitely not, but Wu Zhao said lightly: "Sure. The Shangguan bachelor first write a strategy to defeat the enemy and pass it on." Even Shangguan Jing'er was a little surprised, and looked up at Wu Zhao.Wu Zhao smiled at her.

After coming down to court, Xiao Jing followed Wu Zhao to the Hall of Tongming.Although full of doubts, Xiao Jing still walked into the hall and said: "Your Majesty, I am still not sure whether the female Taoist priest is Wan'er. Is it risky to let the Shangguan bachelor go out rashly?" Wu Zhao laughed: "Don't you Are you expecting me to kill the Shangguan scholar?" Xiao Jing was speechless, and then said after a while: "As long as the Shangguan scholar is not allowed to touch political affairs. I am worried that if the female Taoist priest is empty, the Shangguan bachelor is Wan'er, and His Majesty will leave her behind." Lifelong hatred." Wu Zhao took a sip of tea and said, "Someone from the Prince's Mansion told me a few days ago that Princess Anle was learning swords in the mansion. I want to come with Bachelor Shangguan. I asked that man to show the sword to the governor of Luoyang yesterday. The governor of Luoyang reported that the sword matches Mr. Song's wound exactly."

Xiao Jing was stunned, and then said: "Then should we arrest her?" Wu Zhao shook his head: "The Governor of Luoyang said that although Wan'er has never learned Kung Fu, it is possible to meet an expert to help her get through the veins, so that she can be in two Within a year, I went from not knowing martial arts at all to becoming a master. Now there is no news about the female Taoist priest, and I am not sure if she is Wan'er." Xiao Jing frowned.It is not impossible to get through the veins and advance in martial arts by leaps and bounds, but that can only be achieved by people with a solid foundation in martial arts. Moreover, it is too bizarre for the martial arts to be so high that it can defeat Mr. Song.However, she also knew that Wu Zhao would not act rashly on this matter, so she decided to wait and see what happened, and said, "Then, Your Majesty, I think it's not too late to make a decision after seeing that female Taoist priest." Wu Zhao Nod.

A few days later, a note from Cheng Kejin arrived, saying that three female Taoist priests had been found.Wu Zhao felt a little emotional when he saw it, and even Wu Tuan'er could see it.Wu Tuan'er served Wu Zhao with vegetables, and asked, "Is Your Majesty worried about the Shangguan bachelor?" She looks exactly like Wan'er, and the people I sent have already found her." Wu Tuan'er was full of surprise, and after a while said: "No wonder I always feel that the personalities of Bachelor Shangguan and Wan'er are too different, so they are basically two people. Wu Zhao smiled and said, "Are you sure this is fake?" Wu Tuan'er thought for a while and shook his head: "I can't tell. I hope that person from the south will come soon, and then he will know the truth." Wu Tuan'er Zhao smiled and lowered his head to eat.

For the next month, Wu Zhao waited impatiently, almost going to join Cheng Kejin and the others, but finally restrained himself.

finally come.

Cheng Kejin stood in front of Wu Zhao and reported sternly: "Your subordinate dare not use force on that priest, but just told her that His Majesty's lover did not know where he was six years ago. There was a person in the capital who pretended to be His Majesty's lover to deceive His Majesty. She happened to be with His Majesty's lover." The lover looks exactly the same and has lost her memory, please come to Luoyang to meet His Majesty, firstly, so that His Majesty will not be deceived by others, and secondly, she can find out whether she is His Majesty's lover." Wu Zhao nodded and asked: "What did she say?" Cheng Kejin replied: "The Taoist priest is very kind, and he agreed immediately." Still so stupid.Wu Zhao shook his head, and continued to ask: "What about the two people with her?" Cheng Kejin replied solemnly: "One of the two was irritable, and was tricked out by his subordinates, and they served them. Master ordered to accompany that Taoist priest to travel around the Great Zhou Dynasty. Their master specifically asked them not to bring that Taoist priest to Luoyang, saying that Luoyang would suffer from that Taoist priest." Wu Zhao snorted and said: "Continue to interrogate They, find out their master, and find out the whole thing." Cheng Kejin responded and went down.

Wu Zhao stared at the entrance of the main hall, his heart beating faster and faster.After a while, a man dressed as a Taoist priest walked in.Wu Zhao stood up slowly, and she looked exactly like Wan'er.The female Taoist priest walked gently to the table and saluted, then looked up at Wu Zhao.Wu Zhao walked over, stretched out his hand to hold her shoulder, and called out, "Wan'er." The female Taoist felt a little pain in her shoulder, but after hearing Cheng Kejin's explanation to her in Hengzhou, she was full of pity for Wu Zhao, so she didn't care , smiled and said: "Your Majesty, my Dharma name is Shouzhen. Do I look alike to your lover?" Wu Zhao stared at Shouzhen until she felt awkward, Fang said: "Yes, you will know if you test it." .”

Shouzhen's eyes showed confusion, Wu Zhao's hands tightened again, and he said, "Wan'er blocked a sword for me before, here is a sword wound, and there is still a mark after it heals." Wu Zhao pointed to something on his chest. At the place, he gestured with his hand again: "It's so long, it stands vertically. Do you have it on your body?" Shouzhen lowered his head in embarrassment.Wu Zhao was agitated, and hugged her hard: "You have it too, don't you?" Shou Zhen said with a face full of shame, "I don't know if it's from the sword wound." Wu Zhao smiled and said, "Let me Just look at it." Shouzhen quickly said: "No." Wu Zhao didn't care, and continued: "There is a blue birthmark on Wan'er's back that looks like a leaf, right?" Shouzhen's face was even more serious It was red, and the voice was as low as a gnat: "I can't see it myself." Wu Zhao really wanted to go to verify Shouzhen's body immediately, but it had been five or six years since he hadn't seen him, so he couldn't bear to let go, so he said, "Let me take a look." Alright" without letting go.

Shouzhen planned to fight against Wu Zhao along the way, but as soon as they met, his mind was a little confused by Wu Zhao's words. It wasn't right for Zhao's lover to push her away.While struggling, Wu Zhao let go of her and pulled her back.Shouzhen immediately withdrew his hands and refused to follow her.Wu Zhao turned around and smiled, "Don't you want to know who you are?" Shou Zhen turned his head to look away: "That's not okay. I don't remember you." Wu Zhao tightened his hand, Shou Zhen thought she was angry, and hurriedly explained Said: "If I am His Majesty's lover, Your Majesty can do whatever he wants. But if I am not, maybe I already have a husband before, so it is not appropriate to do so." Wu Zhao narrowed his eyes and said, "Are you going to wait like this? Suddenly remembered?" Shou Zhen stretched out his hand and stroked his hair: "Others can see it, but His Majesty can't." Wu Zhao looked at her swaying, smiled more, and his tone became softer: "Okay, I don't Look. Let the court lady who used to serve you take a bath look after me? She knows what my Waner looks like." Shouzhen nodded, and Wu Zhao asked someone to call Cheng Yiwei and told her to do something.

Cheng Yiwei lit a few lamps in the room, waited for Shouzhen to take off her clothes, carefully looked at them several times, and finally confirmed that the two marks were exactly the same as those on Shangguan Wan'er, hugged Shangguan Wan'er and cried with joy: "Girl, You are finally back." Shouzhen was both moved and uneasy, she had no memory of Wu Zhao and Cheng Yiwei in her mind, and she didn't know how to deal with this situation.If you are stiff, you are afraid that they will be sad, and if you are soft, you are afraid that they will make some further moves.Fortunately, Cheng Yiwei let go by herself.Shouzhen saw that Cheng Yiwei put away her Taoist uniform and changed it for her with other clothes, and said hurriedly, "Don't bother me, I will wear the original clothes." Cheng Yiwei smiled and said, "I've finished washing the girl's Taoist uniform." I will keep it well. But Your Majesty doesn't like girls wearing Dao clothes, so girls should change into the old clothes, don't make her angry, and save us servants from embarrassing themselves." This is Cheng Yiwei's usual trick in the past.Sure enough, Shouzhen wanted to say something at first, and after Cheng Yiwei finished speaking, he took the clothes and put them on.Cheng Yiwei tied Shouzhen's hair in a bun again, and then took Shouzhen to see Wu Zhao.

Wu Zhao saw that Shouzhen had even changed his clothes, and immediately understood. He stretched out his hand to Shouzhen and asked Cheng Yiwei, "Is it Wan'er?" Cheng Yiwei nodded and said with a smile, "Yes, Your Majesty. The girl is back." Although Shouzhen was in a dilemma, he still stretched out his hand to hold Wu Zhao's hand, and Wu Zhao hugged him again the next moment.Cheng Yiwei retreated quietly.Wu Zhao hugged Shouzhen with great force, Shouzhen felt suffocated for a while, felt Wu Zhao's chest heaving violently, knowing that she was emotional, he hesitated and stretched out his hand to hug her back.I only heard Wu Zhao whispering in my ear: "Little devil, this time you have finally revenged yourself and bullied you back. We are cleared up, and if you dare to hide from me in the future, I will be angry."

In the end, it was Wu Zhao who took the initiative to let go of Shouzhen, and pulled her to sit down on the mat. Seeing that she was tired, he asked, "Tired?" Shouzhen nodded.Wu Zhao stroked her hair: "Are you hungry? It would be uncomfortable to go to bed hungry. Can I let them cook some of the food you used to like? Or do you like to eat something else? What do you like now? Salty Or sweet?" His Majesty seemed to be talking to a child.A smile floated on Shouzhen's cheeks: "It's all good." Wu Zhao nodded, and called the maid to come in: "Go and tell Wushang Palace, let the people in the imperial dining room make some food that Wan'er liked before, and bring it over, both salty and sweet. You only need half a teaspoon of sugar." The maid went down.Wu Zhao took Shouzhen over again and let her lie in his arms: "It will take a while for the meal to be ready, you should close your eyes and rest for a while." Shouzhen couldn't help but went into Wu Zhao's arms again, slightly raised his eyes to look into Wu Zhao's eyes , said anxiously: "Your Majesty, I don't remember the past. I don't know if I am your Wan'er."

At this time, the palace maid reported that Doctor Zhang had arrived.Wu Zhao groaned, and said, "Look at my memory." Then he helped Shouzhen get up, and said to her, "I'll ask the imperial doctor to take your pulse." Shouzhen nodded.Wu Zhao's arrangements were overwhelming, and she couldn't keep up.Physician Zhang came in, and after the ceremony, he felt the pulse of Shouzhen.After a while, Imperial Physician Zhang withdrew his hand and said slowly, "Your Majesty, this girl has some blood in her brain, so her pulse condition is not smooth. But it's okay, just drink a few medicines." Wu Zhao quickly asked: "She can't remember the past. Could it be related to the congestion?" Doctor Zhang thought for a while, and said carefully: "Everyone's constitution is different, and the pulse condition is also different. However, I think this girl's amnesia is probably caused by It has something to do with blood stasis." Wu Zhao nodded, and then asked: "How long can she remember?" Doctor Zhang stroked his beard, did some calculations, and said, "I guess it won't take more than a month. Even if I can't remember it all , I will remember a lot of things. Your Majesty can also take this girl to the places she used to go often, maybe you can remember it earlier." Wu Zhao almost smiled, and ordered: "Tonight You don't need to let anyone know about it." Doctor Zhang took the order and went down with the medicine box.

After Grand Doctor Zhang went down, Wu Zhao immediately turned around and grabbed Shouzhen's hand: "Wan'er, you heard that, you will be able to remember our past soon." Shouzhen smiled and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." He frowned and was about to speak when he heard the maid outside reporting that the meal was ready.Wu Zhao got up and dragged Shouzhen out of the hall.

When Shouzhen was eating, he felt Wu Zhao staring at her, a little awkward.Wu Zhao thought that the meal was not to her liking, so she asked, "Not tasty? I'll let them do something else." Shou Zhen hurriedly shook his head: "No. It's His Majesty watching me eat alone, and I'm not used to it." Sure enough, she can't remember the past, Wan'er in the past always blamed herself for having too many things in her mind, and didn't take her seriously.Wu Zhao smiled and said, "Okay, then eat slowly by yourself. I'll let them prepare a bath and bed for you." Shouzhen waited for Wu Zhao to go out, his shoulders relaxed, and he let out a soft breath.With Wu Zhao, she always felt a little stressed, as if it wasn't for that Wan'er who would feel sorry for her.I just can't remember anything.

After bathing, Cheng Yiwei waited for Shouzhen to lie down on the bed.Wu Zhao came in, Cheng Yiwei saluted and retreated.Wu Zhao went to the bed and sat down. Seeing Shouzhen's face became whiter and whiter against the black hair, he felt compassion and asked softly, "Did you suffer a lot outside these few years? Are there many people who bully you?" You? Don’t be afraid, I will teach them a lesson for you. No one will dare to bully you anymore.” Shouzhen shook his head: “Your Majesty, no one bullies me. I have Sister Shoushan and Sister Shouhe by my side, they are all People who know kung fu, no one can bully us." Wu Zhao said with a sullen face, "I don't need their protection in the future. I will send someone to protect you." Shouzhen nodded and asked, "How will His Majesty treat them?" Zhao smiled and said, "It's not that much. It's just to find out what happened to you through them, and I won't do anything to them. Don't worry." Shouzhen nodded, a little sleepy.Wu Zhao got up and said, "Relax well, let's make arrangements tomorrow." Shouzhen didn't know what Wu Zhao wanted to arrange, and didn't have the energy to think about it, so he just agreed and closed his eyes and fell asleep.Wu Zhao watched Shouzhen from a distance for a while, then blew out the candles and went out.
