Empress Reborn

"Have you heard? On the wedding night, the son-in-law and the princess did not consummate the marriage."

"Ah, really? Originally, I only saw the princess being indifferent to the son-in-law, but I didn't expect that they would sleep separately on the wedding night. Didn't it mean that the son-in-law hand-picked by the princess, how could he be so indifferent to him?"

"It is said that he is talented because of the Shangguan."

"Shangguan talent?"

"Well. You don't know, I came out of the palace. When I was in the palace, the princess liked to get along with Shangguan talents very much."

……

As soon as she got off the carriage, she heard the maidservants in the mansion whispering about her private affairs. Li Lingyue frowned, a coldness flashed in her eyes, and she called the chief minister in the mansion, and she ordered: "Go and mess those lowly maidservants with sticks." Get out."

Chang Shi ordered his servants to go over, and the sound of the sap came over with the maid's begging for mercy. Li Lingyue has never been kind to servants who can't control their mouths. She continued to walk forward, and then asked: "Wu... "Weighing it, she changed her title as soon as she uttered a word, "Where is the son-in-law? Haven't gone to court yet?"

Long history should be.Li Lingyue frowned again. If Wu Youji had come to greet her early at this time in the past, it would be a little strange that this time has not arrived today. There are no major affairs in the country these days, and Wu Youji is an idiot, so he was definitely not left behind. I came down to discuss the principles of political affairs, but I didn’t come back at this time, I’m afraid it’s——

Li Lingyue was stunned, and asked: "Go and call the maid who was watching the night at Huaqing Palace that day."

The servants all around were silent, Li Lingyue secretly thought it was not good, she glanced at Chang Shi with sharp phoenix eyes, saw Chang Shi bowed down tremblingly, and said cowardly: "Princess, forgive me, some time ago, those few The maid was summoned away by the palace people."

The person in the palace is A Niang, right?Li Lingyue snorted, and glanced sideways at Chang Shi, who was trembling like a willow, thinking that she needed to find a chance to pull out the eyeliner that Wu Hou had forked.

But before she could think about it carefully, the guard at the gate came to report: "Princess, the Queen of Heaven sent someone to invite you into the palace."

It came so fast.Empress Wu had discovered her secret, and Li Lingyue's face turned pale when she thought that she was about to face the person in power who complained about others' deception.Mother is a ruthless person, and she will not be soft on anyone except her. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but panic.

"Wan'er!" She exclaimed in a hoarse voice, before she had time to change clothes, she mounted her horse and rushed to Daming Palace.

■

The horse galloped away, but in a short while Li Lingyue arrived at the inner garden, casually called the maidservant and asked, "Where is Shangguan Cairen?" Then go to Empress Wu's bedroom.

"Woo--" When she came to the Empress Wu's courtyard, she suddenly saw a young figure running towards her, she quickly steadied the horse, and looked at her with lowered eyebrows, "Ning'er?"

Su Muning ran over quickly, the situation was urgent, she had no time to salute, so she said to Li Lingyue: "Princess, please, please save Mr. Mr. was taken away by the guards just now, I am worried..."

Before Su Muning finished speaking, Li Lingyue felt her heart was hit hard by a stubborn stone. She called out "Wan'er", stumbled and fell off the horse, and her body was covered with dust, but she didn't care much, just grinned. He got up and ran to the bedroom in three steps and two steps.

Outside the main hall, she saw a man kneeling under punishment, that man was only wearing a layer of undershirt, looking from behind, he saw that his waist and hips were covered with a layer of red frost, as if he had just been tortured with a stick.Although it was just a back view, Li Lingyue recognized him after knowing him for two lifetimes. He is her son-in-law Wu Youji.

"Hmph." A contemptuous voice overflowed from the tip of his nose.

Wu Youji turned his head in an instant, his eyes were filled with remorse but also a little expectation, he squirmed his lips as if he wanted to say something, but Li Lingyue ignored him from the beginning to the end, and walked straight past him, she paid a little attention Dressed, Shen walked in.

"Aniang Wanan." The appearance of Wu Youji calmed her anxious heart a little, and she walked into the hall to salute Empress Wu with her head bowed like an obedient daughter.

"You're here." Empress Wu stretched out her hand to beckon her over. Li Lingyue frowned, not knowing what Empress Wu meant, but she still got up and walked over. He stopped two steps away.

There was still no anger on Empress Wu's face. She stood up and shocked Li Lingyue so much that her heart trembled slightly, but she just smiled and stroked her daughter's temple hair and clothes, "Why are you so far away from your mother? Look at you, you are so human. | Wife, still so frizzy, but fell?"

Empress Wu was as gentle as a loving mother, such a soft attitude made Li Lingyue panic, Li Lingyue nodded, the safety of Shangguan Wan'er was on her heart, she really didn't want to deal with Empress Wu anymore, and she bowed straight down as soon as she lowered her eyes. Going on, "My daughter knows her mistake, please punish her by the Queen of Heaven, and don't blame Wan'er."

Empress Wu was not surprised by her daughter's words, the smile on her face was still there, but there was a hint of sarcasm in her eyes, "I don't know what is wrong with my son?"

Such a question is really embarrassing to ask, Li Lingyue secretly gritted her teeth, filled with resentment, but still frowned and replied: "That night Wan'er was drunk, it was my daughter who took advantage of her danger and forced her to do it. I beg the Queen of Heaven to find out. "

Empress Wu looked down at her daughter, she really didn't expect her daughter to give her such an answer, her red lips parted slightly, and she said with a half-smile: "So you really had that intimacy with her that night."

Li Lingyue suddenly raised her head, her face was stunned, she looked at Empress Wu in surprise, could it be that she was deceived by her mother?No, it's impossible, the mother asked Wu Youji and the maidservants, she must know what happened that night.

Seemingly aware of her daughter's doubts, Empress Wu sneered and replied: "Although Wu Youji is useless, he really protects you. Although I pressed him many times and beat him with a cane, he still insisted that he was drunk and talking nonsense. They said that day you and Wan'er just chatted privately, and then they broke up. As for the maidservants, they just said that you brought Wan'er who was drunk, and they didn't know anything after that."

Li Lingyue became more and more astonished. She never thought that she would have the opportunity to evade, but she couldn't care about anything about Wan'er. Wan'er was the white moonlight in her heart, and the white moonlight was covered by dark clouds. She just wanted to ask the dark clouds to avoid it. , as for her own little wind, she didn't mind at all.

Taking a deep breath, she hid her sorrow and anger in her heart, looked at Empress Wu sadly, and begged: "Mother, whatever you want my daughter to do, she will do it for you. I just ask you to put Wan'er back, even if, even if you will She drove her out of the palace." She bowed her head deeply, pressing her forehead against the cold ground, pious and humble.

Empress Wu looked at the daughter who was like herself but gave up her pride for Wan'er, her brows tightened inwardly, the corners of her mouth still had a narrow smile, but her eyes were a little more complicated, she said coolly: "If you wake up early , how could there be today. It's a pity...it's too late."

late?Li Lingyue's eyes widened suddenly, she raised her head and looked at Empress Wu in a daze, expecting the words she wanted to come out of her mouth, but——

Empress Wu just sneered coldly, "She is dead."

"Wan'er..." Li Lingyue's body collapsed. She looked at Empress Wu in disbelief. Seeing that Empress Wu just looked at her with hatred for nothing, she suddenly shook her shoulders and smiled, then suddenly got up from the ground, leaning forward He slammed into a pillar not far away.

"Oh!"

The fragile forehead was knocked against the heavy wood, and blood gushed out in an instant.The bright blood stained Li Lingyue's forehead, and at the same time stabbed Empress Wu's eyes red.The ridicule on Empress Wu's face had long been replaced by panic. She trembled and ran towards Li Lingyue. She sat down and held her daughter in her arms, sobbing: "Ah Yue, Ah Yue, don't scare mother. Come, tell me Yu 1!"
