[Wu Zetian colleagues] Wu Lingchun

When Wan'er was agitated, with boundless ambitions in her chest, Empress Wu was looking directly at Prince Li Hong——

"Hong'er, tell the queen mother, who came up with that idea for you?"

Empress Wu's sudden softening attitude brought Wan'er back to her senses in shock, and made Li Hong, who was kneeling on the ground, look complicated.

Wan'er heard that voice that was so gentle that she couldn't think of Empress Wu at all, and a voice in her heart told herself: Empress Wu, this is to tell the truth about the prince!

Obviously, the main messenger behind the scenes is what Empress Wu really wants to know.

She wanted to know so much that she didn't hesitate to let go of her grudge against the prince, and tried her best to show the tenderness and tenderness that belonged to a loving mother.

Wan'er didn't think Empress Wu was really exuding her warmth.

Based on nearly 40 years of experience in Wan'er's two lifetimes, her first reaction was: Empress Wu is lying!

She didn't know if the prince saw the deception behind the mother's warmth, but Wan'er keenly caught the momentary hesitation on the prince's face.

Is it true that even such a pair of mother and son whose relationship has been demonized by the imperial power still have ordinary people's desire for family affection?

As for Prince Li Hong, his desire for this kind of family affection is obviously more than that of his mother.

Wan'er didn't know whether it was because the truth was true, or because Empress Wu had the advantage of her age and was better at disguising.

However, in the end, Li Hong kowtowed violently.

"No one ordered me!" Li Hong said decisively.

No one instructs me or gives me any advice, everything is what I think and do.

When Empress Wu heard this, she sneered very shortly with a "heh".

"What a pity!" she said quietly.

Wan'er has no way of knowing what it is that is "unfortunate" in Empress Wu's heart.

Is it a pity that the prince lost the chance to finally win the heart of the queen mother, or is it a pity that the prince connived at the instigator behind him and gave up his chance of going forward?

Or, what empress Wu regretted was not only the prince's future and power, but also his life...

A sense of sadness flashed across Wan'er's heart.

When she looked at Li Hong again, there was a sense of sadness.

She knew that the prince was finished.

However, before Wan'er had time to pay the prince too much attention, she was overwhelmed by Empress Wu's gaze.

Wan'er opened her mouth slightly in astonishment, her mind went blank for a moment——

What did I think just now?What did you see again?

Also, what does Empress Wu's look mean?

If the look that Empress Wu cast over was just anger, that's all, it's still normal.But Wan'er clearly felt that that look was far more complicated than anger.

So, what is Empress Wu thinking now?

Wan'er couldn't imagine it.

Just when she was terrified, Empress Wu had quickly turned her gaze away, as if the gaze from her before was just Wan'er's illusion.

Inside the hall, the silent confrontation between mother and son continued.

For Empress Wu, it was actually the end.

She didn't get the answer she wanted from the prince's mouth, and her patience was almost exhausted.

She looked at the prince with an incomparably quiet voice, as if what she was facing at this moment was not a living person at all——

"Zhou Guogong has entered a batch of ancient books from the new school, which are devoted to the principles of filial piety, and I will give them to you. Go back to the East Palace and study them!"

Hearing this, Li Hong looked up in surprise.

What Empress Wu said was clearly accusing him of not knowing the "filial piety" of being a son of man.

And the dignified prince was asked to study behind closed doors, as if he was not allowed to be contaminated with the government anymore!

Is this to take away his power?

So what happens after taking his power?Are you going to abolish him?

Now that the father is sick and lying on the couch, and the power of the mother is getting stronger day by day, if this continues...

Even for these, he can bear it, isn't that Duke Zhou, He Lan Minzhi!

What qualifications does he have to revise ancient books?

What qualifications does he have to say "the way of filial piety"?

Li Hong suddenly felt a great sense of humiliation, he stood up abruptly regardless of his mother's feelings.

"The queen mother let the son read the book of He Lanmin's school?" Li Hong sneered.

He looked like Empress Wu, and his figure was also tall and thin.Standing there like this, there is a bit of courage that people can't look directly at.

Empress Wu looked at him with raised eyebrows, and said slowly: "He Lanminzhi has already given the surname 'Wu' for your ancestor, to inherit the title of Duke Zhou. In terms of private matters, you should call him a cousin; , he is in charge of Lantai Temple, and it is his duty to revise ancient books."

The implication was that he was accusing his son of daring to question his own words and He Lanminzhi's identity.

Hearing this, Li Hong felt as if he had suddenly become aggressive, he was not afraid of his mother at all, and seemed to have fought all the way, and even laughed out loud.

"Inheriting Zong Zong? Proofreading ancient books? He deserves it too!" Li Hong sneered.

"What did you say?" Empress Wu's gaze was as deep as a pool.

Wan'er watched the scene of the mother-son fighting gods fighting, and just wanted to run away immediately.

Wan'er is very clear about what He Lan Minzhi is.

Even without mentioning the public case between him and his grandmother, Mrs. Rongguo, just raping and raping Princess Taiping's maid, and raping and raping Princess Yang, the queen-to-be, would be enough for Wan'er to despise him to the bottom of her heart.

Although it is said that He Lanminzhi's mother and sister died at the hands of Empress Wu, and that He Lanmin gradually became a pervert because of this, but poor people must have something to hate!

Wan'er didn't realize at this time that when she thought of the "bad deeds" of Empress Wu in the past, she quietly excused Empress Wu.

Because of He Lanminzhi, no, it should be said, because of the chess game in Empress Wu's heart, the most honorable mother and son in the Tang Dynasty seemed to have put aside the veil covering the surface and faced each other tit for tat.

Wan'er doesn't want to be a pond fish that gets hurt.

To Li Hong, reading the book compiled by the person who raped and raped his prospective fiancée in the past is simply a great shame.

Thinking in another way, if Wan'er is him, she won't be able to tolerate it

As for the outsider, Wan'er thinks more and further than Li Hong, a pure insider.

For example, why did Empress Wu deliberately mention this matter knowing that it was a humiliation to her son?

The so-called "killing is nothing but nodding", any mother should not want to humiliate her son like this, right?

Even if this mother is Empress Wu.

Wan'er immediately keenly realized the root cause of what Empress Wu did—

The prince has been weak since he was a child, and in the history Wan'er is familiar with, he suffers from tuberculosis.

Such a physical condition caused him to die young.

Looking at the appearance of Li Hong in this time and space, his complexion is pale, lacks blood, and occasionally he can't help coughing twice, obviously this body is not much better.

So, did Empress Wu say this and do it on purpose to make her son sick, and then it would not be a holiday?

Even though she knew this, and even though she had a certain degree of "God's perspective" on this matter, Wan'er couldn't help feeling a bit chilled in her heart.

She lowered her head, looking at her nose with her eyes, and her heart with her nose.

I hope that the tragedy in front of me will end soon!

The voice of Zhao Yongfu who stood respectfully outside the hall interrupted the thoughts of everyone in the hall: "Duke Zhou sees the sky—"

Before he could finish his remaining words, a figure rushed in impatiently.

The person who came was a young man with a very handsome appearance, and there was a lot of restlessness in the corners of his eyes and brows.

Just looking at this face, Wan'er feels that this person is definitely not a kind person.What's more, he is still... Zhou Guogong?

He Lanminzhi!

Wan'er shuddered, and suddenly remembered that in this time and space, He Lanminzhi's mother and sister might also have died at the hands of Empress Wu.

Instinctively, she took two steps towards Empress Wu's position, and strangled her feet again.

What am I doing?

What am I thinking?

I was thinking, should I protect Empress Wu with my own body?

Wan'er was shocked by what she thought and did in the last moment: since when did she actually admit in her heart that she was Empress Wu's "loyal servant"?

She moved back a little indistinctly, still standing there with lowered eyebrows.

This is the correct reaction for Shangguan Wan'er.

"Minister Wu Minzhi sees the Queen of Heaven! The Empress of Heaven has a long life!" He Lanmin bowed respectfully and performed the national salute.

He looks handsome and speaks beautifully.

However, Wan'er heard it in her ears and felt panicked all over her body.

Then He Lan Minzhi smiled and saluted Empress Wu again: "My nephew pays respects to my aunt!"

Since he inherited Wu's clan, he naturally changed his address to Empress Wu, calling him aunt and nephew.

Empress Wu looked down at him with a calm expression.

"Why did you come in in such a hurry without being summoned?" Empress Wu scolded slightly.

He Lanminzhi didn't show any timidity, but instead smiled and replied: "Isn't my nephew anxious to see my aunt's holy face?"

As he said this, he didn't even feel a bit guilty about his behavior of not observing etiquette.

The expression on Empress Wu's face was still very calm, and she waved her hand in Li Hong's direction: "Have you met the prince!"

Logically, He Lanminzhi bowed to Empress Wu, and then he should bow to the prince who was also present.

But He Lan Minzhi seemed to have never seen the existence of the prince, until he heard what Empress Wu said, he squinted at Li Hong with a haha: "I didn't see the prince here!"

As he said this in his mouth, he only bowed his hands to the prince symbolically, and it was considered as a salute.

When Li Hong heard Zhao Yongfu's report that "Duke Zhou has an audience", the veins on his forehead bulged.At this moment, seeing He Lan Minzhi's tired and shapeless appearance again, Li Hong's eyes turned red, wishing he could immediately swallow He Lan Minzhi alive.

Empress Wu stood tall, and she knew all the details below.

"Are there any ancient books from the new school?" Empress Wu said slowly.

This sentence was asked by He Lanmin.

"That's not true!" He Lanmin said loudly, "Didn't my nephew be an official in Minzhou a few years ago? Yesterday, an old friend from Minzhou brought good materials from the Western Regions to see my nephew. My nephew looked at the material." , It’s really good! I didn’t dare to use it, so I presented it to my aunt!”

"Oh? Really?" Empress Wu said lightly.

There is no smile on his face.

"Exactly!" He Lanmin said with a smile.

Suddenly he said: "There are still a few horses for the prince, I hope you can accept them!"

Hearing this, Li Hong's chest twitched, and he couldn't take it any longer, he said sharply: "This year's severe drought, people's livelihood is difficult, you actually sold these things, do you want to buy officials and nobles?!"

He Lanmin smiled indifferently: "The crown prince's words are strange. It's just that best friends give each other gifts, and I just want to honor my aunt because I want to have something good. Why, the crown prince hates that I don't give you less?"

Li Hong's face turned red with anger, and his chest churned even more violently.

He Lanmin seemed to think of something suddenly: "When I entered the palace just now, I seemed to see them carrying a woman out...does she look like a princess?"
