[Wu Zetian colleagues] Wu Lingchun

It was already midnight when Taiping arrived at Du's mansion.

The steward of Du's mansion had already gotten used to the ways of His Highness, he saluted as usual without blinking his eyes, and led Taiping in to see Du Suran.

Du Suran didn't sleep, and was sitting in front of the case with his clothes on, reading the residence newspaper.

Hearing rumors that the eldest princess was coming to the house, Du Suran was not at all surprised, it seemed that she was still awake at this time and was waiting for the eldest princess to arrive.

Only when he came out and saw Taiping appearing alone, Du Suran frowned.

Taiping's expression was indifferent, and he usually walked directly into the house.

"There are hidden guards, it's okay." She threw this sentence at Du Suran.

Du Suran followed closely, and closed the door behind her.

Taiping sat down in front of the desk, and casually picked up the mansion newspaper that Du Suran was reading: "Are you reading this too?"

Without Du Suran's response, Taiping couldn't help raising his head, meeting Du Suran's frowning expression.

"What are you still standing for?" Taiping's host generally pointed to the opposite chair.

Du Suran sat down sullenly, still silent.

Taiping squinted at her: "Speak up if you have something to say. Why are you acting like a gourd?"

Du Suran gritted his teeth and said, "If you come here in the middle of the night, you won't be afraid..."

"As I said, there are hidden guards to protect," Taiping raised his hand to stop her, "I still know about this."

"Even if there are hidden guards, what would you think if you ran towards me repeatedly and were seen?" Du Suran was annoyed.

Taiping's face darkened, and he threw the residence newspaper aside.

"What's the matter? I'm involved with this palace, so Mrs. Du is afraid?" The tone was not kind.

"You!" Du Suran choked, "You know it's not the case!"

"How is that?" Taiping raised his eyebrows.

"The eyes of the officials are all staring at you! There are also Zhou Xing and Lai Junchen's disciples, they are all eagerly waiting to catch you!" Du Suran held his breath in his chest.

"You missed one family." Taiping raised his index finger and shook it at Du Suran.

Du Suran was even more annoyed by her playful expression.

"And my good cousins ​​from the Wu family!" Taiping sneered.

"Since you know, why are you messing around?" Du Suran said in a low voice.

"Nonsense? Heh! If you think it's nonsense, it's nonsense! Anyway, everything I've done since childhood, in your eyes, is all nonsense." Taiping spread his hands indifferently.

"What's your attitude!" Du Suran stood up angrily.

"What are you in a hurry for?" Taiping shook his hand, motioning her to sit down.

Du Suran resentfully had to sit down.

"If you want to blame, I blame you for having too much good wine in this mansion," Taiping smiled slightly, "Can't I be greedy for wine?"

Her bright face was extraordinarily bright because of that smile.

She never imagined how beautiful she is in Du Suran's eyes——

For such a person, such a smile, Du Suran would be happy to let Du Suran pluck all the stars from the sky and hold them up now.

Knowing that she couldn't bear such peace, let alone her temperament, Du Suran resigned to her fate.

She asked people to bring good wine from the cellar to drink with Taiping.

"It's really good wine!" Taiping just sniffed the smell of the wine and couldn't help sighing.

After hearing such words, Du Suran felt extremely satisfied in his heart.

"I don't know where you got these good wines behind my back." Taiping took a sip of the wine, squinting his eyes, as if savoring the lingering taste.

Du Suran's face became warm because of the phrase "You are carrying me behind your back".

She hastily drank two sips of wine to cover up the strangeness in her heart.

Taiping quickly drank a few glasses of wine, his fair skin was flushed with sweat.

Under the candle, it is extraordinarily charming.

Du Suran squinted his eyes, and really felt that just looking at this face could make him drink ten jars of wine.

Taiping was slightly drunk, and let his back rest on the back of the chair happily.

"Only with you, I feel like I'm being myself." She chuckled lightly.

Du Suran's heart was beating fast, she was overwhelmed by alcohol, and Taiping and what Taiping said made her even more overwhelmed.

It was not the first time that the two of them sat and drank like this, but compared to the previous two times, Du Suran was not so nervous at this time.

On the contrary, the big event that will happen next made Du Suran suddenly have unlimited expectations and strengthened her courage.

"Yes, only you..." Du Suran murmured.

"What?" Taiping didn't hear clearly.

"It's nothing." Du Suran coughed lightly, and his mind returned to clarity.

"Did you come to my place just to drink wine?" Du Suran asked.

"What do you think?" Taiping smiled.

When it comes to scheming, she is more and more like her mother.

Du Suran was fascinated by those beautiful eyes again, the hand holding the wine glass couldn't help tightening, and then shook it uncontrollably, almost shaking out the wine in it.

"I think, of course not." Du Suran said calmly.

"That's not it." Taiping said.

The two were relatively silent for a long time.

In the end it was Taiping who said quietly: "Mother called me into the palace urgently the night before yesterday."

"Yes." Du Suran replied.

"Aren't you curious why?"

"The empress dowager called urgently, there must be a reason for the empress dowager." Du Suran said.

"You are the only one who is loyal!" Taiping said sharply.

"Mother said that she would keep the tiger's head in the palace, and the Shangguan would teach it to read." Taiping couldn't help but continued.

Du Suran's eyebrows twitched.

"Mother also said that the emperor has issued a decree to change the title of King Yan to King Yong. The emperor temporarily resides in Qingyang Palace to recuperate his body, and all the government affairs will be handed over to his mother." Taiping finished speaking in one breath, and took another sip of wine.

Du Suran frowned.

Taiping raised his eyebrows in displeasure: "Don't you have anything to say?"

"With the Queen Mother here, there can be no chaos." Du Suran said.

Taiping snorted and buried himself in drinking.

Seeing the bottom of a jar of wine, Du Suran felt that this could not go on.

"Even if it's good wine, your Highness should stop it in moderation." Du Suran covered the mouth of the wine jar with his hand.

Taiping got impatient and touched her hand with his hand.

It didn't move, but let the two people put their hands together, and the enthusiasm belonging to each other rushed up.

Du Suran's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help grabbing Taiping's palm with his backhand.

Taiping didn't understand what she meant, and frowned at her.

Du Suran felt guilty when she looked at her, and she couldn't bear to let go of the catkin.

Then he cleared his throat and continued the serious topic: "It is a good thing that Hutou has the Queen Mother and Shangguan's wife to take care of him. Your Highness can go to Yuzhou with Di Gong at ease."

Of course, I will accompany you.

Du Suran added a sentence in his heart.

There was a decree before that when the spring hunting was over, Di Renjie would go to Yuzhou to serve as the governor of Yuzhou, and Taiping would add the princess of Yuguo and go to the fiefdom.

"Is it a good thing?" Tai Ping shook his head slowly.

She was thinking about the tiger head.

"Of course it's a good thing." Du Suran said.

"If it's a good thing, why was Li Longji changed again? You don't know what King Yong means, do you?" Taiping looked at Du Suran calmly.

Du Suran pursed her lips tightly: "Their children are only a few years old, so they won't be able to reach that point..."

"Isn't it? Did you know that Li Longji almost hurt the tiger's head while galloping in the palace a while ago? If Shangguan was not there, the consequences would be disastrous!" Mentioning his son, Taiping's tone became irritable.

"I thought..." Du Suran opened his mouth, but closed it tightly again.

"What do you think?" Taiping raised his voice, "He is my son, the only child I gave birth to after two hours of pain!"

Du Suran was silent.

"He also has the same blood as yours!" Taiping said suddenly.

"What are you talking about..." Du Suran was stunned.

"Nothing!" Taiping waved his hand irritably.

"He's your nephew too, you know that," she said again.

It turned out to be this...

Du Suran sighed in his heart: "Of course I know."

"Mother cares about Li Longji so much, do you think it's normal?" Taiping asked suddenly.

Du Suran's lips were drawn into a line. Among all these things, she seemed to have discovered something, but she couldn't tell what that discovery was.

"You also think all these things are very strange?" Taiping said.

"Yes." Du Suran replied truthfully.

"Besides, why did my mother send me to Yuzhou at this time, and let Di Renjie be the governor of Yuzhou?" Taiping pondered.

"Mr. Di is the most trusted by the empress dowager, and he is also a veteran of the three dynasties. The empress dowager's move must be to keep you away from court disputes." Du Suran said.

"So, what exactly is the court dispute?" Taiping said.

"Apart from mother's pro-government, besides Li Longji being valued, what else is there?" Taiping stared at Du Suran intently.

Du Suran was quite uncomfortable being stared at by her.

"You know something else, right?" Taiping asked quietly.

Du Suran didn't know how to answer.

"If it's about the Xue family, what would you do?" Taiping looked inquiringly.

"Mother is gone, the members of the Xue family... If they commit crimes on their own, I can't help it either." Du Suran's eyes drifted to one side.

"Self-inflicted..." Taiping sneered.

Du Suran laughed until Du Suran felt hairy, but that question, the one she wanted to know the answer to so much, still couldn't help asking: "If something happens to Xue's family, what will you...how?"

Will you accompany Xue Shao to overcome difficulties and never leave?

"What do you think?" Taiping smiled meaningfully.

Ever since Li Danmao refused to come out in Qingyang Palace and concentrated on raising his son, Wu Zhao began to go to court alone to face the officials.

If she really went to court alone, she wouldn't even allow Wan'er to follow.

Wan'er didn't know that she was protecting herself from being framed and criticized by courtiers and clans.

The more Wu Zhao cared about her and cherished her, the more uncomfortable Wan'er felt.

Wan'er wanted to share the burden for Wu Zhao, instead of just being a woman hiding behind her.

Another day at night, Wan'er brought up the matter again.

"What are you in a hurry for? There will be plenty of opportunities in the future!" Wu Zhao let her remove the court clothes for herself, and changed into a homely dress.

"Those people are not scourges, what else can I do?" Wan'er said.

Pulled into his arms by Wu Zhao: "They are not scourges, but they are scheming one by one. I don't want my treasure to be coveted by them!"

Saying that, she placed a kiss on Wan'er's cheek.

Wan'er was ashamed and frightened, and hurriedly looked around.

Wu Zhao snorted sullenly, "The brat isn't here, why are you nervous?"

Wan'er was speechless.

Speaking of this matter, Wu Zhao was not happy: "Since that little brat lived in the palace, how long has it been since you got close to me? I will pay you today!"

Wan'er felt even more speechless: Can this person be more promising, and stop being jealous for no reason?
