[Wu Zetian colleagues] Wu Lingchun

When Wan'er first knelt in front of the Chengqing Hall, no one saw her.

But the amazing thing is that when she knelt down in front of the Chengqing Palace, no one came to stop her.

Don't say it's to stop it, just to ask, there is no one.

During the whole process, Wan'er visually estimated that no less than a dozen people of various colors passed by for various reasons, but no one came forward to ask her.

Wan'er couldn't help but click her tongue——

This kind of situation is completely different from the situation in Zichen Palace.

It is very different from the environment in Chengqing Palace yesterday.

It was as if, after just one night, the style of the entire Chengqing Palace had changed abruptly. Every person on duty, no matter the female officials, maids, or inner eunuchs, big or small, was more silent than before... more like a cicada.

Wan'er was suspicious.

She immediately thought of a certain possibility: Empress Wu used her iron fist to rectify the Chengqing Hall.

Thinking about it, Empress Wu had just punished the female history surnamed Pei, and the news could fly to the East Palace like wings, in exchange for the princess Pei's hairpin to be punished.

This means that at least the East Palace has placed eyeliner in the Chengqing Palace.

If Wan'er was Empress Wu, she would not allow this kind of thing to happen.

Using this eyeliner today to inquire about Empress Wu's words and deeds, will she use this eyeliner in the future to harm Empress Wu?

How could "that" bear such things?

When Wan'er was thinking wildly, "that one" approached her quietly.

"Shangguan Wan'er." It was still that lazy voice that didn't seem to be distracted.

When Wan'er heard such a sound, she suddenly tensed up, as if she was ready for battle.

In my heart, I couldn't help slandering: Why did she suddenly appear?What about the queen's guard of honor?What about Zhao Ying's shouts?

Empress Wu called Wan'er's name, and walked slowly in front of Wan'er.

It's still the same demeanor of strolling in the courtyard, still the same condescending posture.

Wan'er still saw a dress in sight without any suspense, it was gorgeous and dazzling.

It seems that she has seen too much, from this angle, Empress Wu's skirt...

"My concubine, Shangguan Wan'er bows to the Empress Dowager!" Shangguan Wan'er said in her mouth, bent down, and made a big salute.

Empress Wu looked playfully at the female officer's uniform on her body, instead of the imperial woman's new uniform, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

Still calmly let Wan'er complete the ceremony, but did not speak.

Don't even speak!

Wan'er silently supported her forehead in her heart.

So, is Empress Wu waiting for her to speak up?

Is this the cat waiting for the mouse to throw itself into the trap?

Wan'er gritted her teeth secretly.

As the poor mouse who gave up her dignity in order to live, Wan'er could only accept her fate and said humbly: "I went to the Zichen Hall to pay homage to the Holy Grace, and half an hour ago to the Chengqing Hall to kowtow to the Empress Dowager."

Empress Wu finally gave a light snort to save face: "You mean, you have been kneeling here for half an hour?"

Finally got to the point!

Wan'er rejoiced in her heart.

What she wants is to let Empress Wu know how long she has been kneeling here, and related to this, her sincerity of loyalty.

"Yes!" Wan'er quickly replied decisively.

"There is no such rule." Empress Wu said coldly.

Wan'er knew that what she was referring to was that when the married woman was first conferred to thank her, she never knelt for half an hour as a rule.

Not only that, Wan'er is sure, she must have seen the clothes on her body...

"My concubine asked the saint to take back her life, but she couldn't see the saint, so I had to kowtow to the queen of heaven for mercy." Wan'er said.

"Oh? How do you say it?" Empress Wu was a little surprised.

"I only want to be the female history of the Empress Dowager, and I don't want to be the talented person of the saint!" Wan'er said loudly.

As soon as this word came out, all the attendants of Empress Wu who were in the distance trembled in shock.

Is it possible to say something like this?

Whoever the emperor values ​​and wants to favor, that person has to be grateful, that is a great blessing, and there are still people who dare to say "no"!

At this moment, although no one dared to look at Wan'er more, let alone speak, almost everyone present felt that Wan'er's "crime of deceiving the emperor" was confirmed.

As Wan'er expected, after hearing Wan'er's "rebellious" words, Empress Wu didn't get angry, let alone panic, instead she laughed.

Wan'er secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart: this at least means that Empress Wu will not reject the loyalty she has shown.

However, in the next moment, Wan'er felt that the scene in front of her suddenly changed. The figure who looked down on her from above suddenly bent down...

She even squatted down halfway, and looked directly at herself at a position slightly higher than her own line of sight!

Squatting down, such a posture, for a noble lady from an aristocratic family, is a very humiliating posture.

But it happened to be such a posture. When Empress Wu did it, Wan'er didn't feel that she was losing her identity at all. On the contrary, she felt that it was very casual and free and easy.

Wan'er lost her mind slightly, and her eyes couldn't help but raise her gaze upwards, staring at Empress Wu's eyes.

And those eyes are so deep, bottomlessly deep.

In an instant, they snatched away Wan'er's soul.

Then, Wan'er heard Empress Wu's voice, and it exploded in her ears: "You want to be a member of this palace? Huh?"

Wan'er opened her eyes suddenly.

Empress Wu's words made her unable to lose her mind any longer.

What do you mean by "people in this palace"?

An inexplicable strange feeling flashed across Wan'er's heart, as if something was wrong, and she couldn't catch it...

She had no choice but to ignore that thought that was gently brushed away like a feather.

Because now, she has to face the problem of Empress Wu——

"Yes! I am willing to follow the Empress Dowager!" Wan'er said, solemnly about to bow down again.

Empress Wu suddenly stretched out her hand and picked it up.

Immediately afterwards, Empress Wu's right hand unceremoniously touched Wan'er's left cheek.

Wan'er: "..."

When I was young, when I saw Empress Wu for the first time, I was wiped vigorously on my face by her, and the memories of the scratched skin came flooding back.

Fortunately, Empress Wu didn't rub the skin on Wan'er's face this time, but raised her palm without warning, and patted Wan'er's cheek.

"Clap--"

The crisp sound echoed in the wide area in front of Chengqing Hall, and immediately disappeared into nothingness.

Wan'er was taken aback by the photograph, her face ached slightly.

It's nothing, what makes Wan'er uneasy is the look that Empress Wu gave her at the end——

Like laughing, like exploring, or like...

Wan'er didn't have a chance to know more about the hidden content of that look, Empress Wu had already stood up neatly.

Her figure was still so tall and straight, so Wan'er couldn't help raising her face even more, looking up at her.

"Ayun!" Wan'er heard Empress Wu call out coldly.

Chai Yun immediately appeared beside Empress Wu, seemingly holding something in her hand.

"Read!" Empress Wu gave an order.

"...to live in Zhaoyun Palace...ten maids...one supervisor and internal supervisor...one should be enshrined according to the five-grade regulations in the inner middle school..."

Chai Yun articulated a long story about rewards, from the residence to the rewards, to the rewarded maids, eunuchs, as well as the rough envoy's mother, and all the clothing and supplies.

Any person involved would have to be sincerely grateful for the kindness of the "Empress of Heaven" upon hearing such thoughtful consideration and such generous rewards.

However, Wan'er couldn't laugh no matter what.

Her expression is probably uglier than crying.

The corners of Empress Wu's lips slid into a beautiful arc, and she was smiling at Wan'er: "What? Is Shangguan not satisfied?"

Before Wan'er could react, she suddenly ordered Chai Yun again: "Double all the rewards... From now on, the worship of Shangguan talents will follow the third-rank Jieyu rule..."

"Empress Tianhou!" Wan'er suddenly interrupted Empress Wu.

Empress Wu really stopped talking, she was not at all annoyed by being offended by the humble, on the contrary, she just looked at Wan'er with a strange smile in her eyes.

Wan'er's scalp was numb from her look.

Probe!Probe!Still trying!

It was a temptation before, it was a temptation yesterday, it is still a temptation at this moment... Will it be an endless temptation in the future?

So, what should she do to make the woman in front of her, who may kill her and her mother at any time, stop tempting her?

Wan'er felt very tired.

Empress Wu still felt that it wasn't enough, she suddenly bullied her body towards Wan'er, bent down, and turned her face towards Wan'er.

Wan'er gasped, and instinctively dodged backwards.

Empress Wu's aura was too strong, Wan'er couldn't bear it if she got a little closer, let alone this... close?

Wan'er's shoulders tightened abruptly, and Empress Wu simply grabbed her shoulders, not allowing her to shrink back.

Wan'er: "..."

"What a great opportunity, eh?" Empress Wu's face was less than half a foot away from Wan'er.

Where Wan'er came into sight, there was only that bright face.

She saw the red lips moving, saw the pearly white teeth under the red lips, and the tip of the tongue floating between the lips and teeth because the master spoke.

The pink color doesn't match the fairy-like woman in front of me at all, the pink color...

Like a bottomless vortex, spinning in front of Wan'er's eyes, spinning rapidly.

Wan'er felt that her consciousness was gradually becoming hollow with the rapid rotation, and the dizziness in her head became more and more intense.

At any rate, she could still hear Empress Wu's seductive voice: "...With the favor of the saint, you can do whatever you want, can't you?"

Any... anything I want to do?

What is it?

Wan'er suddenly shook her head——

In Empress Wu's mind, what Shangguan Wan'er wanted to do most was to avenge the shame of the Shangguan family, avenge the Shangguan family, and restore the former glory of the Shangguan family?

Wan'er felt that her throat was strangled by a strong force, and it was difficult to breathe.

What can I do to make you trust me?

Wan'er realized that her helpless eyes were looking at Empress Wu even more helplessly.

Empress Wu obviously understood the meaning in her eyes.

Because, she smiled so proudly, proud of everything under control.

Are you willing to do whatever I ask you to do?

Wan'er saw that Empress Wu's eyes clearly said so.
