"Taiping is here?" Wu Zhao had already seen Taiping at the door.

When she spoke like this, her hand was still holding Wan'er's hand.

Wan'er was slightly embarrassed, so she nodded to Taiping: "Your Highness."

Now that they were all discovered, it would be too obvious to go straight away. Taiping stepped in bravely and saluted Wu Zhao: "I heard that my mother hurt her leg. What does mother think?"

It has been a long time since the competition on the polo field, when something happened, and when I returned to Zichen Palace and summoned the imperial physician to see.

Wu Zhao had no intention of covering up this matter, not to mention being known by Taiping, even if the courtiers knew about it, it was normal.

"You have a heart." Wu Zhao said with a smile.

Wan'er could tell that when she faced her daughter, she was smiling sincerely.

"What do you say about the imperial doctor's order? Does the mother still hurt?" Taiping said, and moved closer, wanting to see Wu Zhao's wound.

"It's okay, it's not hurt. It will be fine after two days." Wu Zhao calmly rejected her daughter's movement that she wanted to watch carefully.

She is tough by nature and doesn't like to show her weakness to others, even her beloved daughter.

Taiping understands, so he no longer insists.

"Mother is accompanied by a Shangguan, so the injury can heal faster." Taiping said.

This is said with a bit of flattery.

Wan'er's face became hot when she thought that Wu Zhao still wanted to "accompany" him so much, and wanted to mess around just now.

"Serving the Empress Dowager is the duty of a concubine." Wan'er said.

Taiping smiled.

She suddenly remembered something, and said to Wan'er: "I got a good piece of white jade the day before yesterday. People say that 'jade has five virtues, and it is like a gentleman'. I deeply feel that it is not a pity to give that piece of white jade to the Shangguan. But I don’t know what kind of accessories Shangguan likes, so it’s hard to speculate. Shangguan just told me what style I like, and I let them make it.”

white jade...

The photo of the white jade ring in Shangguan Zhaorong's tomb in her previous life flashed across Wan'er's mind, and she was in a trance.

But Wu Zhao spoke first: "Let's not say what you like, you bring that piece of white jade to us to have a look first, see what kind of material and shape it is suitable for, and then decide."

This is what it means to accept the jade for Wan'er.

Taiping was happy to see his mother "borrowing flowers to present Buddha" like this, he hurriedly said with a smile: "If so, the minister there will send them to the palace immediately."

Wu Zhao felt good in his heart, seeing that a daughter is better than a son no matter what.

"Where are you from?" She asked in an ordinary way.

"My son is from the princess' mansion." Taiping replied.

She usually lives in the princess mansion, as to whether there is a son-in-law Xue Shao living in the princess mansion, that is another matter.

"How's the tiger head?" Wu Zhao unexpectedly cared about his only grandson.

Taiping was slightly surprised, and hurriedly replied: "Yes. Thank you, Queen Mother, for your concern."

"Mother and daughter, why are you being polite?"

Wu Zhao thought for a while, and then said, "King Yan has been living with you in the mansion?"

Wan'er listened beside her, and she felt a "thump" in her heart: King Yan is Li Longji.

Thinking of the entanglement between Shangguan Wan'er and Li Longji in the history of time travel, the big rock in Wan'er's heart can't be dropped.

"My minister set up a separate courtyard in the mansion to live with him," Taiping said, "He is Brother Hong's only son after all, the King of Yan."

He is the only flesh and blood of the former prince. He is the imperial prince. Even if he is only a few years old and lives in the princess's mansion, I am afraid that in the eyes of others, he has been wronged, right?

Wu Zhao heard the meaning in Taiping's words.

In fact, at the beginning, it was wrong for the first emperor to marry Taiping to Xue Shao, and it was even more wrong to foster King Yan under Taiping's knees.

Now many years have passed, and this mistake is still going on.

Wu Zhao didn't want to see such a situation.

"King Yan is three or four years old now, isn't he?" Wu Zhao never cared about his grandson, let alone his age, and almost forgot his existence.

"It will be four years old." Taiping replied.

"It's against the rules to let him continue to live in your house when he grows up." Wu Zhao lightly tapped the brocade quilt with his fingers, thoughtfully.

"What I mean is to give him to Dan'er as an adoptive child, and take care of both of them. What do you think? Dan'er has no children and is the emperor, so they won't be wronged." Wu Zhao said.

After saying this, both Wan'er and Taiping were startled.

The new Emperor Li Dan has only two daughters and no sons, but he is not as young as a weak crown. He has several concubines and side concubines around him, and he will always have a son in the future.But when Wu Zhao said this, he meant that Li Dan would never have a son after that. Doesn't that mean...

Wan'er's lips were pursed into a line, and her face turned pale instantly: Is this the irreversible ending?This child who is also named Li Longji, no matter in which time and space he is in, is destined to be the future emperor of the Tang Dynasty?And will this little boy named Li Longji kill her in the future like in the history she is familiar with?

Compared with Wan'er's concern for Ze Luan, Taiping was thinking about another thing——

"Mother's decision is naturally good, but...will Dan understand...mother's good intentions?"

"Good intentions?" Wu Zhao laughed when he heard this.

She propped up her body, pulled Taiping, let her sit next to her, put her shoulders on her shoulders, and was as intimate as a mother and daughter in an ordinary family.

"You are my daughter, but you tell me, what good intentions do I have? Huh?" Wu Zhao looked at Taiping with a smile.

For a moment, Taiping felt as if he had returned to the scene when he was coaxed to sleep by his mother when he was very young, and his mother still treated him like a child.

She was a little helpless and a little unwilling.

If she really asked her to say "good intentions", she could only hold her tongue and say: "Mother understands everything and strategizes, which is beyond the reach of my son."

Wu Zhao laughed: "You little thing is so obedient...Only you are the closest to my mother's heart!"

The mother and daughter leaned close together, and Wan'er suddenly had the illusion that she was an outsider.

In particular, thinking of Li Longji, who is certain to become Li Dan's heir, makes Wan'er feel panicked.

At most, she is not afraid of death.What she was afraid of was that she would die inexplicably and meaninglessly.

If she uses her current influence on Wu Zhao to change Li Longji's fate, how likely is it?

Wan'er thought to herself.

Wu Zhao smiled and said to Taiping: "Aniang's Ping'er is so good, can I give you a fortune?"

Almost like a mother coaxing her young daughter——

If it weren't for the words "send a fortune" that adults would use.

Wan'er felt sour when she heard it.

Taiping felt even more embarrassed, she was no longer a child.It's rare that my mother is in such a good mood, she is not willing to disobey.

"What A Niang gave is naturally good." Taiping also directly changed his address, instead of calling him Mother, he was called A Niang directly.

"Dan is investigating today's affairs, you go and tell him, you know who dug the hole, trying to kill Auntie." Wu Zhao whispered.

"Huh?" Taiping was dumbfounded.

"Aunt told me to go..."

"Let you take this first achievement, and I will definitely thank you and reward you."

Taiping temporarily struggled out of his mother's palm, looked at his mother suspiciously, and wrote brightly in his eyes: "Mother, are you serious?"

"Does it seem like I'm joking?" Wu Zhao also looked at her seriously.

Confusion flashed across Taiping's eyes.

She didn't understand why her mother asked her to do this. There was always a feeling that her mother was not harming herself, but was controlling her own destiny.

"What? Who do you think Auntie will frame up? Or do you think Auntie will harm you?" Wu Zhao asked with a serious face.

"Of course not!" Taiping quickly shook his head, "My son... my son is just confused..."

"It's okay. If you are confused now, you won't be confused in the future." Wu Zhao said another sentence that Taiping didn't understand.

Taiping was even more confused.

"Go and tell Dan that Li Zhan dug the horse pit, and you learned about it from Qiu Shenji. Go!" Wu Zhao pushed Taiping lightly, and he was already kicking people out.

Unwilling and reluctant, Taiping had to leave again, Wu Zhao rubbed the center of his brows wearily.

Suddenly feeling the emptiness around her, she raised her eyes and saw Wan'er with a complex expression beside her.

"What's the matter?" Wu Zhao was puzzled, and stretched out his hand to lightly tug on Wan'er's sleeve.

Didn't move.

Wu Zhao then understood something.

Wan'er just recovered from the previous shock, her lips turned white from biting.

"Eh? Don't bite! It's all broken..." Wu Zhao felt distressed.

Wan'er gasped slightly: "The queen mother knows everything? Before the contest with Changsun Qiu, the queen mother knew everything?"

Wu Zhao was stunned.

"Or, the Empress Dowager thinks that the concubine is a stupid person who is not worthy to know the truth before this matter?" Wan'er's words were humble, but her questioning tone was real.

Then Wu Zhao realized that she was really angry——

Wan'er never liked being treated as a stupid person.

"I'm actually..." Wu Zhao opened his mouth, seeming to have a thousand threads, and he didn't know which thread to start from.

"The Empress Dowager thinks it's too bad for my concubine to know in advance. She would rather risk herself than this one. It's better than this one, right?" Wan'er's eyes turned red when she thought of her fear when Wu Zhao had an accident.

Seeing this, Wu Zhao panicked and hurried to wipe away her tears.

Wan'er turned her head away awkwardly.

Wu Zhao: "..."

"The queen mother has the queen mother's plan, and the queen mother has the queen mother's overall situation... As long as the concubine relies on the queen mother and wins the queen mother's favor, she should already be grateful! What qualifications does the concubine have to know the queen mother's layout? Know the queen mother's plan?" Wan'er felt more and more wronged in her heart, and the circles of her eyes were already red.

"You..." Wu Zhao felt that the situation was not good, so he wanted to forcefully hug Wan'er regardless of the injury on his leg.

Unexpectedly, there was a sharp pain in my right leg.

She let out a "hiss", this time, it's really not a fake.

Wan'er saw it for sure, her chest was sore, swollen and distressed.

She knew she wasn't feeling right.

At this moment, she should calm down instead of uttering bad words and pushing the relationship between the two into a dangerous direction.

Wan'er tightly shut her mouth, not letting those unbearable guesses and bad words come out.

"The queen mother can take care of her wounds...I'll ask Mr. Zhao's successor to take care of her." After Wan'er finished speaking, she didn't dare to look at Wu Zhao again, and walked away.
