[Wu Zetian colleagues] Wu Lingchun

Winter goes and spring comes, and spring goes and winter comes.

Wan'er has already passed her 15th birthday, yet she is still in Jing'an Palace.

Empress Wu didn't call her back, even on her birthday, she didn't say anything.

Wan'er still remembers that day from when she opened her eyes in the morning until she had to go to sleep on the couch at night, from full of expectations to complete disappointment.

Even if Empress Wu rewarded her with something as a birthday present, that would be fine!

However, the fact is that there is no reward at all.

Not to mention, Empress Wu appeared in person.

Wan'er was extremely unwilling——

Even if Empress Wu didn't care about her birthday at all, at least she should remember that this day is also...Xu Hui's birthday, right?

Wan'er still remembers the scene when Empress Wu silently prayed to Xu Hui's portrait in the small ancestral hall of Jing'an Palace, was disturbed by her own curiosity, and even punished herself.

disturb……

Wan'er smiled wryly.

In Empress Wu's heart, is she the one who disturbs her meeting with Xu Huiyin and Yang?

He also has the same cinnabar mole as Xu Hui, but luckily he has the same birthday as Xu Hui.

A Niang really... will give birth!

On her birthday, Wan'er didn't even see Mrs. Zheng.

People say, "My son's birthday is my mother's bitter day." Every year on her birthday, Wan'er would solemnly kowtow to Mrs. Zheng to thank her for her kindness in giving birth.

Although, it was not her original intention to travel to this era and this body, although she once wanted to return to the modern age in which she lived.But today, Wan'er asks herself that she has become more and more closely involved with this era.

She is not a person who "loves first". In her previous life, she also infinitely despised those who like someone so much that they lose themselves.Now that she clearly sees how she likes someone, she realizes that seeing and acting are never the same.

News from outside Jing'an Palace continued to pass through Xue Jieyu's mouth and into Wan'er's ears.

On her 15th birthday, Xue Jieyu specially accompanied Wan'er for dinner and gave her a set of more than ten volumes of notes.

It is the essence that Xue Jieyu has accumulated over the years of studying, it is the wisdom of life accumulated by a person over the years, Wan'er solemnly accepts it.

This gift is too heavy, she likes it very much, but she doesn't dare to ask for it.

Wan'er always felt that Xue Jieyu's actions had some meaning.

Xue Jieyu also gave Wan'er a set of new clothes, saying that it was given to her by her mother Zheng.

Holding the new suit, Wan'er looked at the dense stitching and meticulous workmanship, and thought about how her mother sewed it stitch by stitch under the lamp, her nose was sour and her eyes were red.

Xue Jieyu felt sorry for her, so she hurriedly told her that her mother was fine, free from illness and disaster.

Xue Jieyu even told Wan'er not to make mistakes, but to live in peace.

Wan'er understood the warning meaning in her words, but she couldn't restrain her anger: angry that Empress Wu treated her like this, angry that Empress Wu didn't even allow her to see her mother's face.

what is this?

Is it a punishment for all the "arrogance" and offenses she has suffered in the past?

Now, it is the time when the snow falls in early winter.

Wan'er no longer dared to stare at the glazed white snow world anymore, she was afraid, afraid that she would fall into that dream related to lust again.

It has been a year since she first dreamed about her shameful affair with Empress Wu, and it would be untrue to say that Wan'er's dream was completely innocent.But she has worked very hard to be ascetic, study hard, and often sit in meditation to guide her consciousness in a healthy direction, instead of indulging in intoxicating nightmares, obsessed with depravity.

Wan'er's rationality tells her that it is definitely not a good thing to be indulging in that dreamlike dream.

Indulging in boundless fantasy without substantial real experience is nothing but a waste of mind and damage to the body.

But thinking of "substantial experience", Wan'er blushed again.

So, what is she thinking about!

Spit secretly in her heart, Wan'er forced herself to calm down.

Far away from the world that is easy to get addicted to by the window, she opened the note that Xue Jieyu gave her.

Decades of records, writing and thoughts from immature to mature, just like a person's growth.Every time Wan'er reads it, she feels that she has benefited a lot.

It is said that Li Xian, the prince, did so-so, and was often sued by the courtiers to the emperor and Empress Wu.

Or it's out of dignity to fight cockfights, or it's out of dignity to say something stupid, anyway, this kind of thing has never stopped.

When Wan'er heard Xue Jieyu tell her these things, she shook her head inwardly——

Li Xian was still the same as the Li Xian she was familiar with in history. I am afraid that he would be the one who challenged the ministers in the future and wanted to give the throne to his father-in-law.

In fact, Wan'er became more and more confused about one thing: what kind of intentions did Empress Wu have in order to tell her such things about herself?

After all, Li Xian was Empress Wu's own son, so if he spread the embarrassment of his son, wouldn't he be ashamed of being a mother?

Empress Wu didn't have a "God's perspective". How did she know that this son of hers would not be able to support the wall in the future, or would he be thrown off by her own hands?

In short, most of Empress Wu's actions could not be guessed by Waner's deep meaning.

Wan'er didn't figure out what Empress Wu was thinking, but Xue Jieyu told Wan'er an amazing news——

"The Venerable Master is leaving?" Wan'er opened her mouth in surprise.

Xue Jieyu took a deep look at Wan'er, and said quietly, "I want to take you away."

"Take me..." Wan'er froze.

Xue Jieyu sighed silently in her heart, and still made an effort, saying: "There is no reason for you and me, master and apprentice, to stay here anymore... Let's leave here and go to a secluded place, guard the countryside, and live in peace. It's time to pick up your mother again, so that you can take care of your mother, or find another lover. At that time, you will be like most women in the world, taking care of your husband and teaching your children for a peaceful life, isn't it good?"

Wan'er was dumbfounded.

In fact, there was a voice in my heart, shouting loudly: No!I can't go!How can I remarry?This heart of mine has already been promised!

Seeing her appearance, Xue Jieyu frowned.

She thought more than Wan'er, so she comforted: "You don't have to worry about others. As a teacher, I have a way to get rid of your connection with the royal family. As long as you promise, from now on, you will be an ordinary woman, free body, no one can stop you."

In other words, even the emperor couldn't stop Wan'er.

Or in other words, Xue Jieyu can help Wan'er settle all these messes, including the fact that Wan'er is the emperor's concubine.

If Wan'er had heard these words a year and a half ago, when she had not yet fallen in love with Empress Wu, how good would it have been?

Didn't Wan'er at that time just want to take her mother away and live a life that is indifferent to the world?

But now...now...

Wan'er suddenly thought of something, she looked at Xue Jieyu in surprise: "Master, you..."

Xue Jieyu saw through her thoughts, and her voice was a bit desolate: "Everyone has ties, and so is a teacher...Life and death are fate, no one can be God's master...A teacher too...should leave Already!"

Wan'er lost her mind for a moment.

It turned out that she had thought wrong in the past.

She originally thought that Xue Jieyu was detained in the palace and could not leave, so she could only live here forever.But the fact is that Xue Jieyu can leave anytime and anywhere, just because she cares about the emperor, the disciple she brought up.

Wan'er didn't know what kind of agreement Xue Jieyu had with the first emperor, the emperor and Empress Wu, but it was conceivable that if Xue Jieyu wanted to leave, no one would stop her.

Even before Xue Jieyu left, it was easy for Xue Jieyu to ask for some extra grace.

For example, let Wan'er break away from the identity of the emperor's concubine, or even the identity of "the empress of the guilty minister", keep her name incognito, and live her life safely.

What kind of temptation is this?

Once she withdraws her hand and leaves, Wan'er has money in her hand.And throughout her life, there will be no major wars, and she can spend her life carefree and unrestrained.

With Xue Jieyu covering her, she is not afraid of being bullied.She can support her mother well, serve her master well, she can like whoever she wants, and she doesn’t like anyone she doesn’t want to like, and she doesn’t have to look at anyone’s face, and doesn’t have to live in fear...

However, in that case, she might never have the chance to see Empress Wu again, right?

Wan'er didn't expect that if she decided to leave, would Empress Wu let her go, and would Xue Jieyu have enough energy to break Empress Wu's shackles and take her away.

These are not the main ones!

The main thing is that the voice in Wan'er's heart won't allow her to leave!

She hasn't seen through Empress Wu's heart yet.

She hasn't heard Empress Wu tell her about the past.

She hasn't won Empress Wu's heart yet...

Wan'er bit her lip suddenly: she was trying to win Empress Wu's heart in vain, even in her dream, it was Empress Wu who saw her heart clearly, and then taunted her and humiliated her...

That lofty person, huh!

Wan'er felt ridiculous for her wishful thinking.

"What do you say?" Xue Jieyu stared at Wan'er seriously.

Wan'er knew that the fluctuations in her heart must be reflected on her face, Xue Jieyu was her closest and only elder besides her mother, she never thought of pretending to be anything in front of Xue Jieyu.

Since there is no need to pretend, Wan'er slowly shook her head, her refusal was obvious.

Xue Jieyu frowned because of her shaking her head.

"How old are you, why bother to imitate those women in deep palaces, in this place where the sun is never seen, and end up with an end that can't be seen?" Xue Jieyu said sadly.

Yes, this dark place, this endless ending, and that untouchable heart...

So, what exactly do you want?

Is it just the unwilling obsession in my heart?Or do you want to replace someone, like a heart for favor?

Wan'er, who had disdained all kinds of palace fighting dramas in her previous life, found sadly that she was becoming a person she didn't like.

Moreover, what she wanted to replace was the position of a dead person in the hearts of the living.

Everyone knows that the dead cannot be replaced at all.

"Still stubborn?" Xue Jieyu couldn't bear it.

Wan'er sniffed, and tried her best to force a smile: "The disciple is stubborn, let the master down."

Xue Jieyu sighed quietly when she heard the words.

Wan'er thought that she would scold herself for being trapped by love and for not being able to live up to expectations, but she was speechless for a long time.

"Back then, Ming Chongyan insisted on making a divination for you..." Xue Jieyu suddenly said.

Wan'er stared at Xue Jieyu with awe.

Xue Jieyu sighed again: "I don't believe in fate... Now that I think about it, I can't help but not believe it."

She stared deeply at Wan'er, as if she wanted to see Wan'er's soul: "You have been lucky in your life, extremely rich, but also full of hardships and dangers... You, do it yourself!"
