[Wu Zetian colleagues] Wu Lingchun
Chapter 54
Wan'er has been on duty in Chengqing Palace for some time.
But this place is second only to Zichen Hall, and the scene inside it, in Wan'er's eyes, is still shrouded in a layer of mist, making it difficult to see clearly.
Even though, Wan'er has already set foot in most places in this palace.
Now, compared to before, she has a stronger urge to clear away this layer of fog and see the real inside clearly.
In the past, she didn't have such an idea.
All she ever thought was to serve Empress Wu well, gain Empress Wu's trust, raise her status in the palace, and add a few more guarantees for the safety of her mother and herself.
If you can, maybe you can use your own talents and learning to leave a trace in the history of this time and space, and it is not in vain to travel through it once.
what about now
Wan'er's thoughts are no longer as pure as before——
In addition to life, she has many entanglements related to "emotion" in her heart.
That kind of bondage is not a return to Zheng's kindness of giving birth, but another kind of...
That kind of entanglement has always been buried in Wan'er's heart, and she has never been aware of it, but today, due to a chance, it exploded in her heart.
Wan'er was frightened by herself, she couldn't explain that thought.
Saying it out, even, even if it was because of thinking about it a few times, and accidentally revealing something, it may be... a dead end.
Is she crazy?
After living two lifetimes, she has never liked any of her, yet she has fallen in love with a woman?
This woman is not an ordinary woman!
Wan'er's face was as pale as paper.
It's not like she hasn't seen women like women in her previous life.
But that kind of thing, Wan'er never felt that it had nothing to do with her.
She has never been interested in anyone, including men, including women.
At the beginning, she once thought that she would marry academic research all her life.
Isn't studying academics fun?Is the book difficult to read?Why fall in love?
However, now, all her preconceived notions have been shattered by the word "tempting" that may have long been rooted in her heart and suddenly jumped out at this moment, revealing its existence.
Someone asked Wan'er, "Isn't it fun to study academics?" "Are books hard to read?" and other questions, Wan'er just wanted to shake her head——
No matter how good-looking a book is, it is not as interesting as delving into that person's every move and reading that person's every thought, and makes Wan'er even more concerned.
Wan'er has never been in a relationship, but it doesn't mean she doesn't understand what it's like to be tempted.
Haven't eaten pork, haven't seen a pig run yet?
It's fine if you like women, why do you want to like this person!
Wan'er secretly glanced at Empress Wu resentfully.
She then sighed silently: It's really not an accident that people like Empress Wu are attracted to her.
Strong Joss, Dazzling Joss, Personality Joss, who wouldn't like it?
Wan'er couldn't escape even if she asked herself.
Her liking, her liking for Empress Wu, is destined to be buried deep in her heart and cannot be revealed at all.
If Empress Wu noticed her state of mind, or if others saw the clues, Wan'er and her mother would have no choice but to die——
To dare to have such dirty thoughts towards the Empress Dowager, judging from the different concepts of superiority and inferiority in this era, a thousand cuts would not be a pity!
too difficult!
To like this person, to serve this person all the time, and to pretend that you are not attracted to him at all, just acting like an ordinary female official... It's too difficult!
There are two things in the world that cannot be concealed: one is coughing, and the other is love.
Wan'er can't remember when she read such a sentence in any book in her previous life. At that time, she thought it was very hypocritical, but now she thinks it is very appropriate for the occasion.
Her lips were inadvertently bitten with teeth marks, and the color of her lips was almost as pale as her face.
The depression in her heart has already made Wan'er subconsciously press her fingertips inwards, tearing the flesh of her palm, but she didn't feel any pain.
"What's wrong?" Empress Wu's inquiring voice drifted into Wan'er's ears.
She is a very observant person.
Wan'er trembled in fright, and hurriedly bowed, trying to hide the panic on her face.
Empress Wu looked at her with deep eyes.
Fortunately, Zhao Ying appeared in time at this time and rescued Wan'er.
Empress Wu then ignored Wan'er, and asked Zhao Ying with a serious face, "What's the news?"
Of course, it was the news from Emperor Zichen Palace.
Since the former crown prince Li Hong passed away, the relationship between Chengqing Hall and Zichen Hall became more subtle.
Wan'er didn't know if the emperor had tampered with Chengqing Palace, but with Empress Wu's abilities, Wan'er guessed that even if the emperor really arranged something, Empress Wu could pretend not to know, and let the things in Chengqing Palace spread to the emperor. in the ear.
Those things that reached the emperor's ears must be things that Empress Wu wanted him to know, or were not afraid to let him know.
As for the methods Empress Wu used against Zichen Palace, it must not only be Zhao Ying who is always spying, but also the few people Wan'er knows in the open.
This is the most honorable couple in the entire Tang Empire, do they get along like this every day?
If she hadn't been in it, Wan'er would never have imagined that couples in the world can get along like this.
Fortunately, when they met, that is, when Empress Wu was sick in the Zichen Palace, the husband and wife could still talk and face each other as usual, as if those temptations, inquiries, and pryings between each other did not exist.
If it were Wan'er, if she was allowed to get along with her other half like this, she would definitely go crazy.
Zhao Ying reported to Empress Wu one by one the news about Zichen Palace that had just been collected.
In the end, he specifically emphasized one thing, that is, Yong Wang Li Xian stayed in Zichen Palace for several days and nights to serve his illness.
Wan'er peeped at Empress Wu's face, she was really very ugly.
Ever since Li Hong passed away, Li Xian has been extraordinarily happy——
He never forgot to show his status as the "second son" in front of the officials, and he never forgot to do his best to perform and show his filial piety before the emperor's sick bed.
I'm afraid others have forgotten that Datang lacks a heir apparent right now, and he is the most suitable and natural candidate.
I don't know what Li Xian said in front of the emperor. Wan'er felt that when Empress Wu was sick recently, she heard the emperor mention Li Xian more times than when Princess Taiping's siblings were together.
Empress Wu was naturally not happy to hear it.
And the emperor was obviously carefully probing Empress Wu's mind——
About making Li Xian the prince's thoughts.
Thinking that Li Xian will be the crown prince who will be ushered in, Wan'er feels a headache.
Because of the previous incident, she really hated Li Xian; from Empress Wu's point of view, the rumor about Li Xian's life experience was probably a sharp knife hanging above her head that could fall at any time.
Wan'er secretly observed Empress Wu's attitude towards Li Xian, and deeply felt that the unusual life experience of Li Xian in the history she was familiar with in her previous life should also exist in this time and space.
This is subtle.
If Li Xian was made the crown prince, from the emperor's point of view, it would be no different from any of his sons being made the crown prince.Moreover, compared to Li Hong, a sick young man, Li Xian, who is physically strong and known as "both civil and military", is more suitable to be the heir apparent of the Tang Dynasty.
But for Empress Wu, this not only means that her road to power will be more twists and turns, but her life may be in danger.
Sensing that Empress Wu had already got up and walked towards the distance after listening to Zhao Ying's report, Wan'er hurriedly followed.
It was almost late at night, and the rain outside had just stopped, and the wind beat against the open window on the side of the temple gate.
"Squeak - squeak -"
Empress Wu seemed restless, and walked straight towards the window.
Wan'er was extra careful, she pulled out a cloak of Empress Wu, and followed closely.
Empress Wu stood still in front of the window, looked up at the black sky outside.
There is no moon or stars, only the lanterns swaying by the wind in the porch, and the erratic candlelight.
No one dared to disturb Empress Wu at this time, and everyone was afraid of something bad for no reason.
Wan'er stared at her slender and tall back. Why does she look so lonely when she is so energetic?
Not only is she lonely, but she also has a stern... murderous and fighting spirit!
Such murderous intent and fighting spirit should be scary.
Just like the other people in this hall, they all held their breath under this increasingly powerful pressure, wishing they could pretend that they didn't exist.
Wan'er approached Empress Wu gently, listening to her breathing intently, trying to adjust the frequency of her breathing——
Wan'er wanted to breathe at the same frequency as her.
Just like, seeing her like this, Wan'er is very clear that her heart is hurting for her, but she wants to share it for her, no matter what kind of pressure it is.
After an unknown amount of time, Empress Wu's gloomy gaze withdrew from the gloomy sky outside the window, and finally landed on the vermilion pillars in front of her eyes.
There……
The position of this palace pillar is familiar to Wan'er.
"Kara" flashed in her mind——
Li Hong!
That day, when Li Hong walked here, he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood...
An ominous premonition crossed Wan'er's heart.
It turned out that her hunch was right.
Empress Wu stared closely at a corner of the edge of the pillar, and her gloomy voice contained thunderous anger: "Without the edict of my palace, who would have allowed you to clean up here!"
Under the rage, the whole Chengqing Palace seemed to be shaking.
Facing such a Queen of Heaven, everyone in the hall, including the little eunuch on duty in the corridor, knelt down in fright.
Only Wan'er was still standing there, standing out from the crowd.
"Who gave you permission to stand!" Empress Wu shouted sharply, her eyes were bloodshot.
This sentence, of course, was said to Wan'er.
Wan'er suddenly felt an invisible weight on her shoulders.
She gritted her teeth secretly and did not succumb to the coercion from Empress Wu.
Instead, he offered Empress Wu's cloak with both hands: "It's cold in the night, I'm afraid it will make the Empress Dowager get angry... I also ask the Empress Dowager to take good care of her phoenix body."
Anyone could see that Empress Wu was taking the opportunity to explode her grievances.
No one dared to guess who the resentment was related to.
As a mother, facing the place where the blood of her deceased son was once vomited, because the traces belonging to her son have been cleaned up and gone, and her heart is angry, this kind of thing is considered to be passed on to the emperor. In the ear, the emperor will also feel sorry for him.
This mother is not an ordinary mother. In order to remember her lost son, or to vent her grievances, she can find any excuse to kill anyone or even everyone present.
At this time, the best way to protect oneself is to be as humble as possible and escape from right and wrong, instead of facing Empress Wu's anger and disobedience like Wan'er.
Everyone present was sweating for Wan'er.
When Empress Wu heard Wan'er's words and stared at the cloak Wan'er offered, she kept a sullen face and said nothing.
She didn't pick up the cloak in Wan'er's hand, and just stared at Wan'er without moving.
No one knew what was going on in her mind.
It's not that Wan'er is not afraid of this situation.
After all, Empress Wu has punished her a lot in the past, God knows if she will really offend her this time.
However, Wan'er wants to do another thing rather than shrink back to save her life because of fear.
She pursed her lips, braced herself, faced Empress Wu's gloomy eyes, stepped forward, and put on the cloak for Empress Wu.
