[Wu Zetian colleagues] Wu Lingchun

When Xue Jieyu said she was going to leave, Wan'er thought of a possibility——

This time, the emperor really is running out of time.

As the emperor's teacher, Xue Jieyu cared for the emperor from the bottom of her heart, and this friendship between master and apprentice cannot be doubted.

Although she didn't see it with her own eyes, Wan'er was convinced that the emperor must have treated Xue Jieyu very well.

And the reason that made Xue Jieyu let go was that there was nothing she could miss in this deep palace.

Once the emperor's time is running out, what about Empress Wu?

Thinking of the history I am familiar with, before Emperor Gaozong died, Empress Wu lured the emperor to Luoyang in order to consolidate her power so that she could control power smoothly in the future, and Emperor Gaozong died in Luoyang in the end... Wan'er's heart is full sank.

If Empress Wu in this time and space does the same, does it mean that she will not have the opportunity to meet Empress Wu for a long time in the future?

The current situation is not much different from the history Wan'er is familiar with, so Empress Wu's trip to Luoyang is almost certain.

She hasn't seen her in over a year and still contemplates meeting her?

Wan'er smiled wryly at her whimsy.

Xue Jieyu really left, and at the same time took away the two nuns who usually served her daily.

In the huge Jing'an Palace, only Wan'er is left now.

How does it feel to live alone in this deep palace?

Wan'er looked at the direction of the palace gate disappointedly.

Then she was surprised to find that what she was most worried about was not the loneliness and loneliness that followed, but whether she would be forgotten by the stewards of the inner court, forget to send food, charcoal and other offerings, and then starve to death and freeze to death.

Since when, has she shifted her thoughts from those romantic feelings of emptiness to the most realistic things like how to live?

Wan'er was in a daze.

Unknowingly, is she very pragmatic like that person?

Does it mean that if you like someone, you will involuntarily become her?

Wan'er was disappointed.

"Mother, lady!" A young girl's voice suddenly sounded at the gate of Jing'an Palace.

Wan'er came back to her senses in shock, she never expected that there would be a second voice in this quiet place where only she was alone.

"My lady! It's really you, my lady! Huh, huh..." Wan'er couldn't help but think about it, and a young girl's figure had rushed towards her.

Wan'er subconsciously clasped the shoulder of the visitor so as not to let herself be knocked down by the opponent.

The person who came was Xiao Rong, the maid assigned to her in the Chengqing Palace back then.

Xiao Rong has grown taller and her appearance has opened up a bit, making Wan'er marvel at the power of time.

As everyone knows, in Xiaorong's eyes, she has undergone even more amazing changes——

"The servants will not recognize the lady anymore!" Xiao Rong stared at Wan'er, her face flushed slightly.

"The lady is so tall! The lady is getting more and more beautiful! The lady..." Xiao Rong chattered non-stop, describing the various changes in Wan'er in her eyes.

Wan'er listened with a smile, looking at her like a child.

Time goes by and people's hearts change. Fortunately, Xiaorong is still the same as before.

"Why did you come here?" Wan'er asked.

"It's the servants who are confused with joy!" Xiao Rong touched the moist eyes, "It's the Empress of Heaven who ordered the servants to serve the lady!"

Empress Dowager...

Wan'er froze for a moment before realizing that Xiao Rong was talking about "slaves".

What happened next immediately confirmed Xiao Rong's words——

Along with Xiao Rong, there were not only a few small internal eunuchs who were sweeping and rough envoys, but also cooks, embroiderers, and several maids and internal eunuchs who performed their duties.

They also brought all kinds of furniture, playthings, books, and utensils, including newly cut clothes, newly made jewelry, and newly tributed tea...there are so many things to look at, and so on.

Wan'er was already stunned by all the things in front of her.

This is not imprisoning her in Jing'an Palace, it is like treating her as a concubine and supporting her in Jing'an Palace.

Concubine...

Wan'er's mouth twitched.

Why does she have the feeling that she is not being treated as the emperor's concubine now, but as...cough...?

What is Empress Wu going to do?

Wan'er felt more and more unbelievable.

In this way, Xiao Rong seems to have become the chief steward of Jing'an Palace.

Wan'er also wanted to find out something from her mouth.

But Xiao Rong is pure-minded, she only focuses on Wan'er, serves Wan'er very thoughtfully, and manages the rest well, so Wan'er can't help but suspect that she has received special training from Empress Wu before she came.

special……

Wan'er smacked the word, feeling more and more that, compared to other "special", she seemed to be a certain kind of "special".

Thinking of this "specialness", Wan'er felt deeply uneasy.

She looked at herself in the mirror, not to mention that she looked completely different from when she was a child, or from more than a year ago.

Wan'er is unwilling to use gorgeous words to describe herself in the mirror. However, even if she doesn't like to show off and is as humble as she is, she has to admit that at this time, no matter her figure or appearance, she can be regarded as "clear water out of hibiscus". "The beauty.

If it's just "beauty", then that's not what Wan'er wants.

More than a year of calmness, more than a year of self-cultivation, and more than a year of nourishment with good poems and books made her exude a tranquil and dignified temperament from the inside out.

Just sitting or standing there, she has a quiet and elegant beauty, which is eye-catching.

Will such a girl make people who have been separated for a long time unable to look away?

Wan'er couldn't restrain herself from thinking foolishly again.

Contrary to what she had expected, Empress Wu appointed many people to serve her, and rewarded her a lot, and rewarded her with new things almost every day, but Empress Wu did not appear in Wan'er in front of.

Wan'er's heart fell from full of expectations to the bottom of the valley.

Sometimes, Wan'er even has an illusion: everything is just her illusion, illusion.

Jing'an Palace has become a lively existence, and every servant in Jing'an Palace is dedicated to their duties.

With popularity, Jing'an Palace seemed to come alive.

Only Wan'er was that cold existence.

Only she knew that beneath the coldness on the outside was a fiery, hot, restless heart.

Finally, Wan'er's restlessness was unbearable, and after Empress Wu gave her a Guqin, she couldn't stop it anymore.

The qin is a good qin, with plane trees as the surface and fir as the bottom, but there is only the qin.

Wan'er stared at the two lines of flying white on the bottom of the piano, "The phoenix is ​​flying, and the feathers are flaring up", her teeth were "creaking".

She had served Empress Wu for many days, so it was natural to see that these two lines of writing were written by Empress Wu.

Anyone can see what these two lines mean.

Wan'er couldn't help but think of the meaning of these two lines, thinking of the shameful dream she had back then, and Empress Wu's triumphant face in the dream——

"You have fallen in love with Ben Gong, you have already fallen in love with Ben Gong!"

"Stop struggling!"

"You are much more useful than ordinary objects!"

Wan'er's face was pale, and then she was overwhelmed by the feeling of shame, shame and anger, and her face was immediately tinged with a light crimson color.

Empress Wu, what does she want to do!

Does she really want to treat me like a plaything?

Wan'er suddenly felt ashamed and angry.

She is proficient in poetry and proficiency, and only proficient in piano art.Those who serve the piano art in the palace are all Le Ji in the teaching workshop.

Back then, when she was still young, she was almost forced to be sent to the teaching workshop because of Empress Wu's words...

Wan'er knew that her mind was messed up, and she knew that she was forcibly implicating herself in events that had no causal relationship.

She knew better that she shouldn't think so, she should be rational, not impulsive.

But she couldn't help herself—

When a person has been silent for too long, when a person has thought about it for too long, but can't think about it, there will always be an explosion.

And this kind of outburst will definitely scare people who are used to her quietness.

"My lady, what are you going to do!" Seeing Wan'er suddenly throwing away the newly-gifted zither, Xiao Rong pulled the cloak and tied it, and walked away, terrified.

Wan'er only angrily threw two words at her: "Get out of the palace!"

Xiao Rong's face turned pale with fright, but she didn't dare to say much, so she had to bring two tall and strong inner eunuchs, closely following Wan'er.

Out of the gate of Jing'an Palace resentfully, and walked a few quick steps, Wan'er suddenly stopped.

The cold air after the snow poured into her mind, making her regain some sanity.

So, what is she doing?What is she going to do?

Looking for Empress Wu theory?

Do you want to ask Empress Wu for an explanation for yourself?

and then?

Wan'er suddenly faltered.

Standing on the same spot, she really lost her mind for a while, before Wan'er sighed faintly.

She looked at Xiao Rong behind her, and the two confidant internal eunuchs were standing with lowered brows and hands down.

Do you want to go back to Jing'an Palace obediently and continue the days of being "wrapped and raised"?

Wan'er's chest was full of unwillingness.

Now that she has come out, if she goes back like this, she will look down on herself!

Wan'er then simply threw off her steps and walked in the direction of Ye Ting.

She is going to see her mother.

Maybe it was because the weather was cold and it had just snowed, or maybe it was because the emperor was critically ill and the people in the palace didn't dare to make a fuss, but Wan'er didn't meet anyone during her journey.

It was horribly eerie.

Wan'er pursed her lips tightly.

In Yeting's old residence, Wan'er couldn't find her mother.

In this way, she had to believe that her mother was really not in the palace at this moment.

Was it "she" who sent the mother out of the palace?

Is "she" afraid that her mother will be implicated in the palace?

Wan'er imagined that if Empress Wu really cared about her, she would definitely take her mother's safety into consideration during this troubled time.

If that's the case... Wan'er felt a surge of warmth in her heart.

On the way back, I still turned back the same way, and I still didn't meet a single person.

It seems that this deep palace is already empty...

Wan'er frowned, the feeling of emptiness that she hadn't visited for a long time came suddenly.

"Squeak—" The sound of snow being trampled by boots was very soft.

But Wan'er was keenly aware of it.

She turned around in horror and looked towards the source of the voice.

But after hearing "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo" before he could make a louder sound, a black shadow flashed past and disappeared.

Wan'er was stunned: Is that the secret guard protecting her, taking care of the spy in the dark for her?

And who is this secret guard instigated by, do you still have to ask?

into the night.

Wan'er slept very restlessly.

She always feels like she is in a dangerous place, sometimes with swords and swords, and sometimes with dangers everywhere.

The faint voice in her ear made her frown even more in her sleep.

sound!

Wan'er woke up suddenly, and suddenly opened her eyes.

Before me is the darkness of night...

There was a trace of sweat on Wan'er's forehead for no reason.

She wanted to call Xiao Rong, but suddenly heard a "clank" sound from the corner of the room, where the guqin she had left there before—

Someone has plucked the strings!
