Empress Reborn

Not long after Shangguan Wan'er left, a servant girl informed her that the Second Sage had summoned her to Zichen Palace for discussion.Li Lingyue was a little surprised, she was just an ordinary princess now, what did Ersheng call her to the inner court?Could it be related to Sixth Brother?After finishing her appearance, Li Lingyue followed the maidservant and walked over.

When she arrived at the Zichen Hall, there were already a few familiar people standing in the hall, they were her elder brothers. When she walked in, the faces of the elder brothers were all stunned, as if they didn't expect that this matter would make her Participating, there is also a trace of pity in the eyes.

Li Lingyue nodded to her elder brothers, walked to the hall and the second sage on the high steps, and said: "Taiping has met the second sage, and the second sage Wan'an."

The Zichen Hall is no different from the usual sleeping hall, as the third largest hall in the Daming Palace, it is majestic and majestic. Empress Wu sat on the high steps, and the people in the hall had to look up, which made her extremely majestic.Seeing Li Lingyue at this moment, her voice became solemn.

Empress Wu called Taiping to stand up. Li Lingyue stood up and was about to step aside when she heard her father's weak voice of reproach, "Why did you call Taiping here too?"

Naturally, this was said to Empress Wu, but Empress Wu didn't take it seriously, she just said: "She's grown up too, there are some things she should know."

Li Zhi shook his head, and didn't follow Zi Tong's wishes. He looked at Shangguan Wan'er who was standing beside Empress Wu, and waved to her, "Wan'er, take Ah Yue back quickly."

Shangguan Wan'er naturally wanted to take Li Lingyue back, Li Xian was about to be punished here, and she couldn't bear to let Li Lingyue watch, but this matter was still up to Empress Wu, so she looked at Empress Wu in embarrassment.

Empress Wu lowered her eyes, met her daughter's gaze, and saw her pleading and docile lowered head. As a mother, her heart twitched, but Li Lingyue's actions these days could not help but make her vigilant.She was obviously a little lady who hadn't reached her age and was ignorant of worldly affairs, so why did she suddenly think of her daughter being able to predict worldly events, and she suddenly realized that her daughter might have forgotten her own life and sensed the crisis, so she changed her temper.If this is the case, even if she asks her daughter to be an ordinary princess, the daughter herself will not obey.

Frowning slightly, Empress Wu summoned Wan'er, whispered a few words in her ear, and then waved her hand.

Shangguan Wan'er walked down the steps, saluted Li Lingyue and the others, and said softly, "Princess, follow me."

Li Lingyue walked out with Wan'er, and when she walked outside the hall, she suddenly saw Wan'er's expression with some hesitation.Taking two steps forward to hold Wan'er's catkin, Li Lingyue asked with concern: "Wan'er, what's wrong?"

Shangguan Wan'er smiled and shook her head, pulling her to go out, but Li Lingyue was unmoved, Shangguan Wan'er was surprised, she turned her head, "Princess?"

Li Lingyue frowned and smiled, "Wan'er, Mommy asked you to take me away, right?"

Shangguan Wan'er was slightly startled, and Li Lingyue looked at her tenderly and said, "If Mother wanted me to go, she wouldn't call you to see her off. Don't worry, Wan'er, Ah Yue has grown up."

Ah Yue... Shangguan Wan'er lowered her eyelashes, squeezed Li Lingyue's hand tightly, and led her to the main hall along the back door, and hid behind the screen behind the Ersheng.

Shangguan Wan'er's hands were tightly wrapped around her, and Li Lingyue felt warm in her heart. She gave Wan'er a comforting look, and said in her heart: Wan'er still treats her as a child, a child who had to betray her brother because of her mother's persecution, so she I feel that I should be afraid and guilty at this time, but what about A Niang?A Niang should no longer treat her as a child, right?

Li Lingyue lowered her eyes and sighed secretly, the heart of a king is unpredictable, A Niang is indeed a policy of iron and blood on the way to the throne, calling her here at this time should be to give her a warning, let her see what will happen to those who plan to rebel.Now that Mother has started to be wary of her, it seems that she still has to do something.

Li Xian's exclamation came from outside the screen, "Daosheng!"

Li Lingyue looked down through the gap of the screen, and saw a bloody man in ragged clothes lying in the main hall. She saw her sixth brother Li Xian fell down in distress, hugged the man in her arms, and brought him Muttering in a mournful voice, "Daosheng..."

With trembling arms, Zhao Daosheng slowly raised his hand. Li Xian held his hand, and listened to his beloved Hu Nu say: "Your Highness... I'm sorry, I really... can't hold it anymore."

Li Xian closed his eyes heavily, even if he was a clanging man, it was sad to see him at this moment.

This scene aroused pity for Shangguan Wan'er next to Li Lingyue, but Empress Wu snorted, "The dignified prince is having sex with a slave, it's really embarrassing to Tang Dynasty!"

Li Zhi also looked worried, "Ming Yun, let go quickly. Someone, throw that slave out!"

Li Xian raised his drooping head, staring at the guards full of hostility, and tightened his arms around Zhao Daosheng.

"Ming Yun!" Li Zhi scolded angrily, pointing at Zhao Daosheng with trembling fingers, "Throw him out to me! Disorderly stick—beat him to death!"

"Aye!" In desperation, Li Xian actually called his father's nickname, he hugged Zhao Daosheng tightly, his expression was firm but full of pleading.

Li Zhi was quite disappointed that his beloved son was a household slave. He felt that he was going to keep him, his temples throbbed suddenly, his forehead was throbbing, and he couldn't help pinching, "Go..."

Seeing Fulang like this, Empress Wu moved closer and rubbed Li Zhi's sore spot with her hands. Li Zhi looked at her with vacant eyes and whispered, "Mei Niang."

Empress Wu smiled softly, took his hand and patted it. She looked down and saw her son holding the household slave, his expression was full of pity, and she couldn't help but silently sighed: Her children, why are there two That's all.With a solemn expression, she called down, "Prince."

The voice was low and full of majesty, Li Xian raised his head, looked straight into his mother's sharp eyes, and suddenly raised the corners of his lips to sneer, "How does the saint want to deal with me?"

Her son stared at her with such a sad but mocking expression. It is a lie that a mother does not feel distressed, but she is no longer in a position where she can only be a mother. She has been in power for many years, and she has already experienced the deliciousness of power. Naturally, she would not agree to take away her power. Even if it was her own son, she would let him get the price he deserved.

"The prince is lustful and intimate, and also has the heart of treason. He really cannot be called the post of prince and should be abolished." Empress Wu coldly issued an order.

This remark was expected by Li Xian, but he was not surprised. He just lowered his head and wiped the blood from the corner of Zhao Daosheng's lips.Brothers Li Xian and Li Dan also expected this result, so they remained silent.

Li Zhi has always loved this son, and he felt that Mingyun was the most suitable person to become a great treasure compared with the other two sons. Hearing what Empress Wu said, he quickly persuaded him: "Meiniang, Mingyun is still young, and he was deceived by the slaves, teach him again." It will be fine."

Empress Wu looked at the emperor indifferently, and said: "This son has treason in his heart, how can the family condone it? It is reasonable to kill relatives in righteousness, so as to imitate others."

"This..." Li Zhi was overwhelmed by Zi Tong 1's aura, hesitating and not knowing what to say.

Empress Wu took advantage of the victory to pursue and said: "Abolish the position of Prince Li Xian, demote him as a commoner, and exile..." She glanced at her smiling son, and suddenly softened, "Temporarily detained in Chang'an City. Put all the confiscated armor in Suzaku Burned the front door to warn others! Wan'er—" She wanted to call Wan'er to draft an edict, but suddenly found that Wan'er was taken away by her and it was not appropriate to show her face, so she glanced at Wu Tuan'er beside her and said: "Wait a minute Seeing Wan'er, my son called her to draw up an imperial edict."

"Yes." Wu Tuan'er took the order.

Li Zhi looked at his son with pity, but unexpectedly found a slight smile on his son's lips.

Mother didn't execute Zhao Daosheng, nor exile him from Chang'an, which proves that she still cares about him.His political stance put him on the opposite side of his mother, but in his heart he still regarded Empress Wu as his mother. Since Empress Wu showed him some kindness, he certainly knew how to be content.Standing up and giving a solemn gift, Li Xian said in a long voice, "Thank you, Second Sage!"

Empress Wu looked a little moved, she turned her head to look at the emperor, and asked, "Zhaijia, let's go."

Li Zhi had a headache and wanted to say something more, but he couldn't stand the pain, so he nodded and agreed to Empress Wu's proposal.Empress Wu helped him up with her own hands, and when she left, she glanced at the screen meaningfully.

Li Lingyue knew that her mother was looking at her, and Li Xian's sex with a slave had made her father so angry, so what about herself and Wan'er?

Looking back, she found that Wan'er, who hadn't experienced Li Tang's darkest side, was still moved by Li Xian's protection of Zhao Daosheng. She smiled, took Shangguan Wan'er's hand, and said, "Sixth brother took his Daosheng is gone, let's go too."

Shangguan Wan'er nodded, but she was slandering in her heart: Didn't Ah Yue compare herself to Li Xian and her to Zhao Daosheng?It's really going to be cheap.Smiling dumbly, she suddenly realized that she was really worried about Li Lingyue for nothing. Her brother was abolished as the crown prince and demoted to a commoner, but she was not afraid or worried at all. Could it be that, as A Niang said, the royal family is careless?

She looked at Li Lingyue, but saw her eyebrows frowning inadvertently, and couldn't help but feel a little ashamed: Shangguan Wan'er, what are you thinking?Ah Yue saved you several times, how could she have no heart?You see, in order not to worry you, she has kept all her melancholy in her heart.

Taking a bigger step, Shangguan Wan'er leaned against Li Lingyue's shoulder, and gently rubbed against her. Li Lingyue was overjoyed, and with a slender hand, she hugged Wan'er in her arms.

The biggest opponent, Li Xian, has gone down, and her seventh elder brother, Li Xian, should be the successor of the crown prince next. According to the calculation, there are less than three years left for A Niang to monopolize the power, so what should she do?Li Lingyue looked down at the gentle woman, thinking silently in her heart.
