[Wu Zetian colleagues] Wu Lingchun

Zichen Palace.

Empress Wu took the decoction brought by the waiter, took the spoon herself, and fed it to the emperor.

The emperor was sick for many days, but his condition still did not improve.

He was very dizzy and suffering from illness. When he saw the bitter medicinal soup, his face became even more painful.

"This medicine is useless, so don't drink it!" The emperor refused.

Empress Wu didn't stop handing the spoon forward, and said in her mouth: "The so-called good medicine tastes bitter, Jiulang knows it."

The emperor frowned upon hearing this.

Good medicine tastes bitter, unpalatable advice help line.This is a famous quote from ancient sages and sages.

However, when Empress Wu said it at such a time, the emperor always felt that there was something in his words.

He glanced at the decoction sullenly, and instead of drinking it from the spoon in Empress Wu's hand, he lifted the medicine bowl with trembling hands, and swallowed it with a few gulps.

Empress Wu still held the spoon in her hand, a moment of embarrassment flashed across her face.

Wan'er was standing not far away, feeling embarrassed for Empress Wu.

But the embarrassment on Empress Wu's face became normal in the blink of an eye.

Wan'er had to sigh secretly for her amazing face-changing skill.

Now, two days have passed since that night when Empress Wu was so angry that she wanted to kill someone.

Wan'er recalled the scene at that time, as if it was right in front of her eyes.

She ignored Empress Wu's coercion and insisted on putting the cloak on Empress Wu's shoulders.

At that time, Wan'er was mentally prepared to bear the consequences of Empress Wu's anger.

But the truth is, nothing happened——

Empress Wu didn't punish her, and didn't even say anything to her, and went back to her bedroom to rest.

Two days passed, and Empress Wu was doing as usual, what happened that night before seemed to be just Wan'er's wishful thinking.

Soft touch, thought-provoking sound, and rich breath...

They clearly existed.

How can they be nothing but imagination?

Wan'er feels empty in her heart, even though she knows very well that this is the best way——

Do you have to be seen by Empress Wu, so that your own and mother's lives are in danger?

The emperor put down the medicine bowl, looked up and saw Empress Wu still holding the spoon expressionlessly, coughing unnaturally.

After all, he still couldn't bear the powerful aura accumulated by Empress Wu over the years, endured the dizziness in his head, and forced a smile: "Aren't Er Niang tired of holding that thing?"

Empress Wu raised her eyebrows, and put down the spoon calmly, apparently not feeling the humor of the emperor's words at all.

This time it was the emperor who was embarrassed.

"Jiulang has something to say?" Empress Wu knew him too well and had already seen through his thoughts.

The emperor laughed dryly, and looked at Wan'er who was standing beside him.

Wan'er's back tensed, thinking that what they were going to say might not be heard by others.At this moment, apart from Empress Wu and the emperor, only her and Luo Dafu are the two "extras".

Luo Dafu is the emperor's confidant, and she...

Wan'er didn't want to think about it anymore, she thought to herself that she should quit.

Unexpectedly, Empress Wu noticed that the emperor was looking at Wan'er, so she said slowly: "There is no one else in the palace, so let Jiulang say what he wants to say."

She didn't seem to like it when the emperor had something to say, she just wanted to send Wan'er out instead of Luo Dafu.

Luo Dafu stood aside, his attitude becoming more and more respectful.

And the emperor smiled wryly, and couldn't help but look sideways at Wan'er, as if he wanted to see what made Wan'er stand out.

"Jiulang has something to say, please speak." Empress Wu said again.

At the same time, she raised her arms, seemingly helping the emperor tidy up the thin brocade quilt on her body, but in fact, half of her body just blocked the emperor's gaze towards Wan'er.

The emperor had no choice but to look away.

He paused, then said: "Hong'er has gone, the reserve is empty..."

As he spoke, he peeked at Empress Wu's reaction.

Seeing that Empress Wu looked calm as usual, Fang raised his voice and said: "...I prefer Xian'er to be the heir apparent, Erniang has no objection?"

He wasn't asking Empress Wu for what she wanted at all, but instead asked Empress Wu to agree to his decision in a different way.

Empress Wu's expression didn't even change slightly, she still looked at the emperor calmly.

The emperor was stared at by her and his heart became tense, he completely forgot the feeling of dizziness, and hurriedly said again: "Xian'er is our son, he—"

Before he could finish speaking, Empress Wu interrupted with a slight smile: "This is a state matter, your Majesty can make a decision."

The emperor immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he felt that Empress Wu had been wronged, so he quickly apologized and said with a smile: "Although it is a state matter, it is also a family matter. After all, Xian'er is our son."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to hold Empress Wu's catkin.

Empress Wu frowned slightly on the withered and diseased palm that belonged to the emperor.

She began to miss the refreshing and cool breath unique to a certain person, and the delicate and smooth touch.

"What Jiulang said is true." Empress Wu said perfunctorily, withdrew her hand indiscriminately, and tucked the thin brocade quilt for the emperor again.

The emperor obviously didn't notice her fleeting abnormality.

He felt happy for a while, glad that his decision to establish a crown prince was not vetoed by Empress Wu.What's more, I feel that I have wronged Empress Wu very much, and I try my best to make up for Empress Wu.

So he said: "I thought, Xian'er is different from Hong'er. After all, he has been used to being a prince since he was a child. He has to experience a lot of experience... I plan to trouble Erniang to teach him..."

Empress Wu squinted at the emperor: "Mother and son, how can you say that you are bothering?"

The emperor laughed aloud: "Er Niang is quite right. I used the wrong words."

He said again: "I plan to let Erniang be the regent during the period of illness, what does Erniang think?"

Hearing the word "Regent", Empress Wu's eyes seemed to be lit up with two fires, shining brightly.

She hurriedly lowered her eyes, restraining the desire for power in her eyes, and when she looked up again, everything was as usual.

"Regent?" Empress Wu frowned, "I'm afraid it's inappropriate?"

Seeing that she seemed to hesitate, the emperor became nervous, for fear that she would turn around and disagree with making Li Xian the crown prince.

"Er Niang and I have long been called 'Er Sages' together. With Er Niang's talents and learning, how can they be unable to govern?" The emperor even defended Empress Wu.

The corners of Empress Wu's lips curled slightly: "In order to support the crown prince and the state affairs, Jiulang has considered it very carefully. I'm afraid, in the eyes of those with ulterior motives, Jiulang's consideration is to allow the concubine to exceed his power."

Wan'er stood by and listened to the conversations of the most distinguished couple in the Tang Dynasty.

She could hear the emperor's eagerness to make Li Xian the crown prince, and she could also hear that the emperor was worried about being denied by Empress Wu.

As an empress, she can make the emperor care so much not because of her beauty, but because of her character and ability. I am afraid that only Empress Wu can do it, right?

Apart from admiration in her heart, Wan'er couldn't help but think of what kind of efforts and heartaches Empress Wu has put in to reach her current level.

She felt distressed for Empress Wu, but when she heard that Empress Wu used the title of "concubine" for the first time, she was quite speechless——

In order for the emperor to hand over power willingly, Empress Wu also lowered her profile very much

Empress Wu is such a proud and conceited person, even in front of the emperor, she seldom calls herself like this.

Regent, compared with reviewing memorials for the emperor, what a step she has taken towards the supreme power!

Does power really make her so obsessed?

Wan'er bit her lip silently.

"Erniang is my wife and the prince's mother. A wife shares the worries of her husband, and a mother shares the worries of her son. Who dares to say anything?" The emperor defended Empress Wu again.

"Naturally," Empress Wu looked at the emperor with a gentle gaze, "The concubine is Jiulang's wife and Xian'er's mother."

With a thought, the emperor held Empress Wu's catkins again: "Exactly, we are a family! Let others say what they say! I will defend Erniang for myself, Erniang don't worry! "

"Then, Jiulang will have to worry more." The arc of Empress Wu's mouth deepened, as if she was laughing or mocking.

The emperor only felt tenderness in his heart, as if he had returned to the time when he was young and the two were in love.

"I still have an important matter to discuss with Er Niang!" The emperor said again in a moment of excitement.

Just as I was about to say, there was a report from the on-duty internal supervisor outside, saying that it was Princess Taiping asking to see her.

The emperor smiled and said, "Let her in quickly!"

As he said that, he looked back at Empress Wu and smiled even more happily: "She came just in time!"

Empress Wu's heart sank, Wan'er felt the change in her expression was too obvious.

Princess Taiping didn't come to see her by herself, but brought a middle-aged man with deep eyes, high nose and much fairer complexion than ordinary people.

Wan'er took a look and felt that this middle-aged man was very much like a foreign teacher from a certain European country she had seen in her previous life.

She suddenly remembered an incident recorded in the history books: a man named Qin Minghe from the Great Qin Dynasty, who was also a member of the Roman Empire at that time, had done blood test for Emperor Gaozong, which relieved Emperor Gaozong's headache symptoms.

Could it be that this man with deep eyes and high nose...

Princess Taiping first greeted her father, queen and queen, and then met their inquiring gazes, and introduced: "This Qin doctor is from the Daqin family. He is good at medicine and is now enshrined in the Imperial Medical Office. My child heard that he is good at treating the head. The card of the wind, so I invited him here, wanting to heal my father."

Qin Minghe then went forward to kneel down and salute, speaking Chinese clearly and loudly.

It's just that after hearing Taiping's words, the emperor twisted his face to look at Empress Wu, hesitant to speak.

Seeing Empress Wu staring at her daughter with a serious face, without saying a word, it seemed that she hadn't calmed down about her daughter sneaking out of the palace before, so the emperor couldn't help but untie the siege for her daughter.

"Taiping doesn't know, he has treated me before..."

The emperor's words were immediately snatched away by Empress Wu, with a bad voice: "It's very good, chisel the top of the head, it's not bad!"

Qin Minghe hurriedly pleaded guilty, and said that he did not intend to chisel the top of the head and kill the emperor, but to prick blood on the emperor's head with a Bianstone needle, and the blood came out and the disease was cured.

Seeing Empress Wu's expression, the emperor still didn't agree with Qin Minghe, so he said: "Since that's the case, let Ming Chongyan try again according to Xianer's recommendation!"

When Empress Wu heard this, she trembled slightly.

Wan'er also murmured in her heart: Li Xian and Ming Chongyan have never admired, how could they kindly recommend Ming Chongyan to treat the emperor again?I'm afraid there is a lot of doorway here.

How could Empress Wu not have thought of this?

She took a deep look at the emperor, and when she turned to Qin Minghe, who was still kneeling on the ground, she said sharply, "I promise you to treat the saint... If there is even the slightest difference, I will never forgive you!"

Qin Minghe naturally responded.

No one thought that after Qin Minghe's diagnosis and treatment, the emperor's headache symptoms were relieved.

The feeling of dizziness in the emperor's head was not so serious, and he felt that a huge mountain was removed from his head, and he felt relieved, so he rewarded Qin Minghe heavily and promoted him to an official position.

Because Qin Minghe was specially recommended by Taiping, the emperor felt more and more that his little daughter was good in everything, so he wanted to treat her better.

"Taiping has done meritorious service in recommending famous doctors, what reward do you want?" The emperor looked at his daughter gently.

Taiping was taken aback, for a moment he couldn't think of any reward he wanted.Dressed in gold and jade, she has everything.

The emperor looked at his daughter's stunned look, and a fatherly smile appeared on his face: "Then... the emperor will give you a son-in-law, okay?"
