[Wu Zetian colleagues] Wu Lingchun
Chapter 35
"Because they are very likely to be silenced immediately."
Du Suran's words left Wan'er speechless for a while.
She squinted at Wan'er, and saw that Wan'er's lips were almost pursed into a line, and her pretty face was faintly pale.
Du Suran's heart welled up with empathy.
The girl in front of me is only in her teens, but it is so difficult to survive in this mysterious and unpredictable deep palace!
Du Suran thought of himself when he was a child. Although he was also a criminal minister, he still had a mother anyway, so that he would not be bullied to the bone; and he was good at martial arts, at least he could protect himself.Later, when she grew up a little, she climbed the big tree of Tianhou, and became a trusted person around Tianhou. She walked around the palace and outside the palace. Anyone who saw it, whether it was true or not, would call her "Ms. Du". ...
But what can this Shangguan Wan'er expect?
After she is also a prisoner, she also has a mother.However, her mother will only be her drag and cannot give her any care.
Besides, she is weak and not good at martial arts. She was chased by those inner eunuchs who pretended to be people around the saint, and she was able to escape without being frightened to cry.
Besides, what more could you ask for?
Thinking of this, Du Suran added a bit of warmth to Wan'er's eyes.
She comforted Wan'er and said: "You serve by the Queen of Heaven, as long as you don't leave the boundary of Chengqing Palace, no one will do anything to you."
This is to tell Wan'er not to be afraid, so why didn't she secretly point out Wan'er, and gain the trust and reuse of the Queen of Heaven, so that no one would dare to act on her without authorization?
Wan'er is so clever, she immediately caught the implication of "hold tight to Empress Wu's thick legs".
Not only that, Wan'er also noticed a very important message, that is: this Mrs. Du is very likely to be Empress Wu's person.
It is not difficult to detect a person's standpoint as long as he carefully examines her speech and behavior and catches the clues.
For example, Du Suran, although she doesn't talk much, and her behavior can be called cautious, but when she mentions Empress Wu, Wan'er can figure out a trace of unusual meaning, that is He Wan'er's mother Zheng, and Wan'er Xue Jieyu, his master, had a completely different attitude when referring to Empress Wu.
This special feeling, after Du Suran mentioned Empress Wu twice, made Wan'er more certain: at least in terms of standpoint, Mrs. Du does not oppose Empress Wu, and even agrees with Empress Wu to a certain extent.
Having figured this out, Wan'er became more courageous.
"Miss Du, actually, do you know the background of those people?" Wan'er spoke slowly, her eyes fixed on Du Suran.
Du Suran was stared at by her——
The first impression of this pair of eyes is that they are beautiful.
If Du Suran had to rank the beauty of the eyes of the women she knew in an order, Princess Taiping would rank first.Du Suran still remembered that when he rescued Princess Taiping from He Lanminzhi's claws, the helplessness in Princess Taiping's eyes seemed... like some kind of poor little animal being aimed at by a hunter's bow and arrow.
At that moment, Du Suran felt that He Lanminzhi should be hacked into pieces.
It was also from then on, many years later, until now, every time when hunting, Du Suran would never shoot those small animals with pitiful and helpless eyes, but would only shoot large prey.As a result of this, she became the person around Empress Wu who was recognized as the best in archery.
The outline of Empress Wu's eyes is actually very similar to that of Princess Taiping, as everyone in the palace recognizes: Princess Taiping is the one who looks the most like her among all Empress Wu's children.
But Du Suran never thought Empress Wu's eyes were "beautiful".
Those eyes have nothing to do with "pretty" at all.Most of the time, Du Suran would not regard Empress Wu as a woman, or a woman in the traditional sense.
To her, Empress Wu was a benefactor, a lord, and a person whom she relied on all her life to achieve herself.
Du Suran was very thankful that the eyes of the mother and daughter were really different.
Now, when she faced Wan'er's gaze, the biggest feeling she felt at the beginning was astonishment, which was enough to rank Wan'er's eyes as the second only to Princess Taiping.
However, Du Suran immediately realized: the content hidden in these eyes cannot be included in the word "amazing".
How could a girl who was only in her teens and grew up in the palace, or a girl who was confiscated into the palace and made a maid in the palace, how could she have such eyes?
Du Suran thought to herself that if she hadn't experienced a lot and met a lot of people, she might be deceived by these eyes——
In these eyes, there is more than calmness?It is almost possible to find traces of the vicissitudes of life.
Is it because of the extremely difficult situation since childhood, which sharpened the will of this little girl?
Du Suran couldn't be sure, after all, she had almost no contact with Wan'er, let alone getting to know each other.
Suddenly realized that before so many thoughts popped up in his head, the little girl had just asked himself a very important question, and Du Suran coughed unnaturally.
Wan'er realized that Du Suran was exploring herself just now, and she also realized that the tone and look in her eyes when she asked that question before was too abrupt for her current age and identity.
Wan'er then lowered her head slightly, her eyes gradually became helpless, and her voice lowered, "Saving someone's life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. If Mrs. Du knows the origins of those people, I would like to let you know... I, I don't want to die!"
Speaking of the latter part, her voice became very pitiful, which perfectly matched her current situation.
When Du Suran heard this, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he felt that the little girl's expression had changed a little faster.
She had doubts about Wan'er's scheming before, but now she was a little confused——
He is just a little palace slave who has been miserable since he was a child. He has read some books, understood some principles, gained some insight, and has a calm and resilient temperament. This is not difficult to imagine.
Maybe it's because I think too much?
Du Suran suppressed the strange feeling in his heart, and said truthfully: "Whether they are what I guessed, there is no evidence right now, so I can't say..."
As he said that, he looked at Wan'er again: "However, at least these people will not threaten you anymore. It is right for you to go back to Chengqing Hall and serve the Empress Dowager."
Since there is a guess, then it is eight or nine is not far from ten?
So, is she refusing to tell me?
Wan'er thought.
Think about it too, what is her identity, and what is Du Suran's identity?How could Du Suran tell her such confidential things?
Wan'er should be grateful to Du Suran for being able to rescue her in time.
Wan'er didn't want this matter to pass in such a muddle, and she would have to worry about her own safety in the future.
If there is a solution once and for all, who wants to be in constant fear?
The expression on her face became more weak and helpless than before: "It is my duty to serve the Queen of Heaven... But I don't want to die... I beg Mrs. Du to show me the way!"
Saying that, Wan'er bowed to Du Suran.
Du Suran grabbed him.
"You really want to do it once and for all?" Du Suran stared at Wan'er.
Wan'er felt that her voice was deep, and her heart sank a little: "Really."
"Then," Du Suran's eyes were fixed, "Do you dare to go before Yuqian?"
"Yuqian?" Wan'er was stunned, "Miss Du asked me to see the saint?"
"Not bad!" Du Suran nodded.
Wan'er was silent for a moment, but after thinking about it for a while, she probably understood what Du Suran meant.
"Miss Du means, since someone pretends to be a servant next to the saint and pretends to be an imperial decree, then I will simply follow the plan. In this way, those who want to plot against me will not dare to do it?" Wan'er said.
Seeing that she figured out the joints so quickly, Du Suran couldn't help secretly praising Wan'er for her sharp mind.
But Wan'er's style of painting suddenly changed: "Miss Du is not afraid, but I have thrown myself into a trap when I go, and I have gone and never returned. Have I failed Madam Du's life-saving grace today?"
When Du Suran saw the inquisitive look on her face, he knew that she had doubts about her motives.
Du Suran smiled slightly: "Miss Shangguan, don't worry, since I thought of this method for you, I won't push you to a dead end."
After finishing speaking, he said again: "You and I are both on duty under the command of Tianhou Empress. Since we are peers, we should help each other, shouldn't we?"
"Miss Du is also serving Tianhou?" Wan'er asked with sideways eyes.
Du Suran nodded: "I have been trusted by the Queen of Heaven, and I have been doing errands for her since I was young. I just got the order of the Queen of Heaven recently, and I am the crown of women in the Taiping Temple."
Until then, Wan'er was convinced that Du Suran was really a close confidant of Empress Wu.
Other things can be fabricated, but this Taoist robe is authentic.Those who can be sent to Taiping Temple by Empress Wu to accompany Princess Taiping as the female crown must be people who Empress Wu absolutely trusts.
It is also impossible for Du Suran to frivolously get a Taoist robe and put it on in order to gain the trust of such a small person as her.
Wan'er didn't feel at all that she was so important.
Maybe, the reason why the person who didn't know who was trying to trick her sent those disguised inner eunuchs to deceive her was because she accidentally heard some ulterior secrets, and To silence her!
Thinking of this, a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in Wan'er's mind.
But this thought only flashed like a spark, and then disappeared.
Wan'er had no chance to catch it, so she could only give up for now.
Wan'er then smiled brightly at Du Suran, and respectfully said: "I was saved by Sister Du back then, and today it was Sister Du's generous help that saved my life. It must be fate!"
Du Suran raised her eyebrows, thinking that this little girl can talk.
Only to hear Wan'er laughing again: "From now on, we will also work on errands for the Empress Dowager, so I ask Sister Du to give me some advice!"
After all, leaning on the edge of the ridge of the hall, bowed to Du Suran.
Du Suran hurriedly supported her, telling her to be careful.
Wan'er performed the ritual perfectly as usual, as if she didn't notice that she might fall to the ground several feet high if she slipped slightly.
As a result, Du Suran felt a little sorry.
He couldn't help telling her again: "When you come to the imperial court, you must be extra cautious..."
Wan'er smiled faintly: "Sister Du still refuses to tell me your guess?"
Du Suran's words left Wan'er speechless for a while.
She squinted at Wan'er, and saw that Wan'er's lips were almost pursed into a line, and her pretty face was faintly pale.
