Chapter 255 Wan'er: If I don't believe in fate, it is my fate!

In this era, the number one city in the world is called Chang'an.

The second ranked city is Luoyang.

They are the Eastern Capital and Western Capital of the Tang Dynasty respectively.

There is a distance of [-] miles between the two capitals.

It's not far, it's not far, and it's not close.

Before Li Zhi and Empress Wu, they had traveled to Luoyang three times. For this reason, a royal road between the two capitals was specially built, which was the most stable and comfortable.

But now on this road, there are already a large number of disaster victims walking.

In normal times, the common people would naturally not dare to walk along the royal road, at most they would look on both sides.

But now that the disaster is spreading, people are going to starve to death, and they are desperately rushing out of the pass, so naturally they can't take care of it.

Li Zhi didn't care about this kind of thing, and the prince even changed his plan and walked the post road with all the officials.

At this time, he and the princess were sitting in the large and closed imperial chariot, and Shangguan Wan'er was sitting next to the princess, and happened to ask about this matter.

The prince said: "There are more post houses along the post road, which is the way for hundreds of officials to pass. We occupy the imperial road, and the hundred officials occupy the post road again. The people suffering from hunger and cold can only squeeze the private roads of the people. Give up the imperial way now, after all, we can save more people."

Wan'er blinked her eyes: "Your Highness is so kind."

The prince smiled: "Wan'er, you are still young, you don't have a deep understanding of these things, so you don't have to flatter me."

The princess scooped up a spoonful of butter cherries: "Tell your master, don't be too lazy to work, and usually disappear when you come up with an idea. He is the most idle among all the officials."

The prince gently tugged on her sleeve.

The Crown Princess ignored her and began to feed Wan'er: "Is there anything you can't say, he is appointed by His Majesty to assist you, and I haven't seen him a few times. Don't the ministers around you keep asking him lately?"

The prince whispered: "Yuan Fang is right to do so."

The plumpness of the cheese and the sweetness of the cherries, Wan'er ate happily, thinking that if the master was always by the prince's side, wouldn't he be a thorn in the princeling's side?

The sage appointed Master as an assistant. Such an arrangement did not bring any good intentions. When the master and the princelings got into trouble, he would have to go to the sage obediently.

She was fascinated by what she heard and saw, and after being reminded by the fat uncle, her heart was like a mirror, but she leaned into the ear of the naive princess: "Master is the laziest. I usually teach myself, and I haven't taught me what the princess has taught me." How much!"

The princess's eyes overflowed with a smile: "Then why don't you call me Master?"

Wan'er said firmly: "No, no, there is only one master, Wan'er is so loyal!"

The Crown Princess hugged her, and she was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear: "It's such a lovable child!"

"Princess, the medicine is ready."

At this moment, Cao Zhen said softly outside the car.

Wan'er lifted the curtain, took the decoction and sniffed it carefully.

The Crown Princess is from a family of military generals, she has practiced martial arts since she was a child, she even played the part of a female ghost in Wu Minzhi's case, although she didn't scare anyone, her body is indeed strong.

After she becomes pregnant, she will not have a miscarriage under normal circumstances, but she must not be drugged.

Therefore, these anti-pregnancy decoctions were prescribed by Sun Simiao's true disciple Liu Shenwei himself, and Cao Zhen and other most loyal servants brewed them.

After the doctor tried it, Wan'er smelled it again with her nose to see if it tasted different from usual, and then gave it to the princess to drink.

The concubine's mood fluctuated greatly during her pregnancy, and she was a little impatient, but the prince said seriously: "You can't be too careful!"

The Crown Princess hummed, took the medicine, and drank it slowly.

After finishing today's task, Wan'er couldn't stay idle anymore: "I'll go to Master and convey the words of the Crown Princess!"

The princess said reluctantly: "Come back soon!"

Wan'er responded crisply, and got out with a cat waist.

As soon as I got out of the imperial chariot, the long motorcade came into view, and I couldn't see the end at all. No matter how many times I saw it, I felt quite shocked.

And Wan'er is now the little red man next to the prince. Seeing her coming out, a forbidden soldier immediately brought the little pony over.

Wan'er turned over and jumped up, thanked the imperial army, sniffed, and headed to the back of the convoy.

But after walking not far, she suddenly felt a gloomy gaze piercing her body, her legs immediately clamped the horse's belly, and she whispered: "Hurry up!"

Unexpectedly, the little pony was trained too well, everything was stable, and the horse's hooves still walked forward.

And an old voice came from behind: "Where are you going in such a hurry?"

Wan'er's palms trembled slightly, and she finally reined in the horse's rope, turned around on the horse's back, and said hello, "Shang Gong!"

An old woman came to her on a horse.

This old woman was dressed as a female official, her hair was like silver threads, her face was deeply wrinkled, her waist was slightly bent, and she had kind eyes.

From the appearance alone, it is completely impossible to tell that she is the deputy chief of the inner guard of the plum blossom, who specializes in cultivating the criminal women of Ye Ting to become secret spies.

Shang Palace is the name of the official, established by Yang Jian, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, and one of the "Six Shangs" of female officials in the inner court. When Dugu Jialuo and Yang Jian came to court, the power of Shang Palace was not small.

In the Tang Dynasty, Shang Gong was the official fifth-rank among female officials. Although it was not the same as the fifth-rank dignitaries in the outer courts, they also had real power in the palace.

This old woman was named after an official, and no one knew her surname, only that she was already in the palace when Li Yuan became emperor, and had gone through three dynasties.

At this time, her cloudy eyes turned, and she said slowly: "Wan'er, you haven't visited the palace since you came back, I'm very sad!"

Wan'er lowered her head slightly.

Shang Gong looked at her, showing a gentle smile, like a kind grandmother: "You have grown taller, you are almost nine years old!"

"I remember when you were six years old, my old body brought you by my side. You were so young, but you were quick to learn things. At that time, my old body was very happy, and raised you as a successor!"

"Wan'er, what can you say about your unhappiness, don't let your talent down!"

Wan'er finally raised her head, her eyes no longer dodged: "Shang Gong, Wan'er will remember how kind you are to me..."

Shang Gong smiled, and heard the child continue: "Although you never let me see my mother, you never let me eat when you teach me what I can't learn that day, let me watch the bloody end of those sisters when they were punished, and let me use them for nothing. The shadow needle shoots the cat, but you are very kind to me!"

Shang Gong put away his smile a little, but he didn't expect a six-year-old child to remember it clearly, and said earnestly: "You don't know good medicine is bitter, and good advice is hard to hear!"

Wan'er shook her head: "The advice you teach is how to observe and approach, to flatter, to please, and to steal secrets."

"You also let me call everyone an adult, and always bend to please others. Over time, I will belittle myself."

"It was only later that I realized that you just wanted me to despise myself so that I would listen to you in everything!"

Shang Gong's eyes were fixed: "It's beyond my expectation that you said these words. Is this what you thought in your heart, or was it taught to you by others?"

Wan'er's experience and knowledge are still relatively small, and she was confused for a long time, but now she no longer hesitates: "At first, Master taught me, and later, it was also what I thought in my heart!"

Shang Gong sighed: "Child, you are still young and don't know the dangers of the world. Many people are destined to die once they are born!"

"You were taken into the court when you were still a baby, your life should be so despicable!"

"On the contrary, it is giving you unnecessary extravagant expectations, which is what will kill you!"

……

"Old man, what are you farting!"

At this moment, a ferocious voice came from behind, and the horse Shang Gong was riding was hit hard, and he was startled immediately.

Shang Gong stretched out his skinny palm and pressed the horse's neck, and the horse immediately lowered its neck and turned around obediently.

A group of inner guards came to the rear, led by two broad officials.

One had a kind face and kind face, while the other was not a good-looking person, and continued to scold: "Dare to call her humble in front of Xiao Wan'er, have you asked our inner guards?"

Shang Gong said peacefully: "This Martial Guard is a fifth-rank Shang Gong, please don't lose your courtesy!"

Qiu Shenji waved his hands: "What about female officials of the fifth rank? Do you really think that the palace is the same as the court outside? There are eunuchs of the third rank in the palace. If you let them stand in front of me, do you dare to say something loudly? Pretending to be imposing, roll roll roll!"

Shang Gong saw that this was a bullshit, so he didn't beat around the bush: "I am trusted by His Majesty, and I am the internal guard of Meihua, everyone, please don't be presumptuous!"

Qiu Shenji snorted: "Don't scare me with plum blossom internal guards, let me tell you, I eliminate evil and do good, and I am not afraid of being picked on! But you are such a despicable old man who would take advantage of even a child. If you are not alone, you have no family and no relatives , must let you see how powerful I am!"

Shang Gong's expression finally became gloomy for a moment, and a murderous look appeared between his brows.

As an unmarried old palace maid who lived in the palace all her life, saying that she has no family and relatives is too targeted.

But she was actually mistaken.

Qiu Shenji regretted that she couldn't squat at the door of her house to block her son and grandson, and she would not be able to raid the house in the future, so she didn't mean to insult her on purpose.

Shang Gong stopped talking to Qiu Shenji, and looked at the same kind-hearted fat man beside him: "This Wu Wei, do you know Wan'er's surname?"

Di Renjie stroked his beard and said, "Of course I know, after she is Shangguan's servant, how can she be lightly insulted!"

Shang Gong said indifferently: "Please be careful, she is a criminal daughter of Ye Ting, and her grandfather Shang Guanyi also died of treason!"

Di Renjie said: "I'm afraid Shang Gong doesn't know that Li Jiyi has already cleared the guilt of the young lady of Shangguan and restored her real surname. What's more, she needs to investigate whether her grandfather, Shangguan's servant, was framed for treason!"

"And Shangguan Shilang is not only Xitai Shilang, but also a master in the literary world. His poems are Shangguan style, and his surname dictates his style of poetry. He is the number one in my Tang Dynasty!"

"If Shanggong wants to embarrass Miss Shangguan, he has to ask us first!"

Di Renjie is a master of Mingjing. When he took the exam when he was young, Shangguanyi was still a master of the literary world, and he respected him very much. Even if he had no relationship with Li Yan, he would definitely take care of Shangguan Wan'er when he encountered matters.

Not only him, but all the sons of the Shangguan family were wiped out, leaving only orphans and widows. Civil servants who sympathized with Shangguanyi and hated Empress Wu would all help.

At first glance, they seemed to be kind and friendly, but they began to confront each other.

The kindness on Di Renjie's face was filled with sincerity from the heart. He was both compassionate and capable of using thunderous methods.

And Shang Gong's kindness is more like a layer of skin sticking to his face, sticking it firmly, but it is not the real face after all.

Looking at each other for a moment at this moment, she realized that she was about to be suppressed by this person's aura, her face finally changed, and at the same time, she realized that this moment and that moment.

When Empress Wu was in power, naturally no one dared to mention Shangguanyi, but now the prince is in charge of the country!

What made her most unacceptable was that Wan'er raised her head, her brows were firm, and she finally let go of her past fears:
"Master said, it is my fate not to believe in fate! Shang Gong, please go back, I, Shangguan Wan'er, will never be humble all my life!"
