After being dressed as Wu Zetian's daughter, she was favored by the group

Chapter 18 Please Call Me Xue Shao

Facing her elder brother who is still in love, Li Lingyue can only skip the chapter of the daughter country and tell them the story of 'Monkey King vs. Six-Eared Macaque'.

The monkey fought with the monkey, and the two brothers immediately had a good time.

After lunch in the palace, Li Lingyue bid farewell to the two imperial brothers, boarded the carriage, went to the best jade workshop in Chang'an, handed over the piece of Hetian jade that he found in the morning to the shopkeeper, and asked him to make a few pieces of jade according to his own wishes.

After the work was done, Li Lingyue returned to the palace by car. The carriage drove along the bustling Chang'an Avenue all the way to the palace. Li Lingyue opened the curtains, looked at the endless stream of people, and counted the tall buildings on both sides.

Except for the imperial palace, city towers, and some archways, the other buildings in Chang'an City are not high, but the grand layout of [-] squares made the city the most prosperous political and financial center in the world at that time.

On the side of Shanhefang next to Zhuquemen, there is the best restaurant in Chang'an City, "Zhaixinglou", where every inch of land is expensive. I heard that the owner is a relative of the emperor, so it is built as high as the city wall, from bottom to top There are four floors.

The first floor and the second floor are places for ordinary diners to drink and eat. The third floor has a group of singers and dancers, which provide private gathering places for officials from the DPRK and China. The topmost floor is the fourth floor, which is basically closed to the public.

When Li Lingyue passed by this restaurant, she was sitting in the carriage, and she could only see the height of the third floor when she looked up. She lowered the curtains and stopped looking.

The carriage passed by slowly under the restaurant, and the window on the fourth floor was gently pushed open. A handsome man in a black brocade robe was holding a wine glass in his plain hand. Confidently outlined an elusive smile.

He drank the fine wine in his hand, turned around, looked at a man sitting on the main seat, and said with a smile:
"Brother Xue must have known that the demon queen came to the Hongwen Museum yesterday and beat the crown prince in public."

The man's smile is extremely beautiful, and his voice is also very pleasant. He is none other than Wu Zetian's nephew, Wu Shun's only son He Lanminzhi.

He Lanminzhi seemed to have forgotten all the hatred after the expiration of his filial piety for Wu Shun. He followed the request of Empress Wu, changed his family, changed He Lan to Wu's surname, and formally adopted Wu to become the new head of the family. , was appreciated by Li Zhi, and entered the East Palace as the emperor, and became the prince Zuo Shuzi.

Of course, Li Zhi reused him only because he owed the death of his mother and sister. Empress Wu changed his surname to Wu to fulfill the original promise.

All of this, He Lanminzhi naturally knew that he had not done nothing during these years by Prince Li Hong's side, at least he had aroused a little bit of masculinity in the prince who was only obedient to Empress Wu.

Through insinuations, the prince gradually realized that his biological mother was his greatest enemy in inheriting the throne.

Last New Year's Day, at the royal dinner, for the first time, the prince proposed to Li Zhi to pardon Xiao Shufei's two princesses and allow them to leave the palace to marry without prior consultation with Empress Wu in front of all members of the royal family.

The timing was found in seconds, and Empress Wu had no way to object.

The naive Li Hong only thinks that by doing so, he can accumulate a reputation of benevolence and virtue for himself.

How did he know that it was this move that Empress Wu quickly realized that the prince had escaped her control and began to challenge her authority. The power of the East Palace and Empress Wu became tense all at once.

And the person behind the scenes who contributed to the flames was He Lanminzhi who was beside Li Hong.

Witnessing the drama of "mother and child cannibalism", is there a more satisfying way of revenge than this?

What He Lanminzhi wanted to do was not only to let the crown prince fight Empress Wu, but also to let Empress Wu step into his murderous intentions, so that she would die without a place to die.

He Lanmin knew very well that Empress Wu could not be brought down by his own strength, so he used the prince to try to fan the flames of that power even more, so that the mysterious force could no longer sit still , He took the initiative to stand up against Empress Wu. In this way, he would avenge his blood and sweat without any effort.

The man sitting on the main seat frowned upon hearing He Lan Minzhi's words, and reminded with some displeasure:

"Please pay attention to your wording, don't mention the word 'demon queen' in front of me, otherwise... you are not welcome in Zhaixing Building!"

"Hahahaha" He Lanmin laughed heartily, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world, he laughed for a long time before he could hold it back, and asked the man jokingly:
"I thought that the Zhaixing Tower was a place where you and I could treat each other with sincerity. I didn't expect Brother Xue to keep his mouth shut to the demon queen in his own territory. It's really ridiculous and lamentable!"

The man surnamed Xue was even more unhappy. Facing He Lanmin's ridicule, he smiled coldly and said:
"You are alone now, so you have nothing to worry about, but my Xue family is all in Chang'an, and I don't want to end up like you. Since you have entered this star picking building, let's talk about the business first!"

He Lanmin felt a pain in his heart, suppressed his grief and indignation, bent down and said to the man surnamed Xue:
"Before the prince's wedding, the demon queen will definitely confuse your majesty to depose the prince. At that time, the power of the East Palace will be damaged. If you don't do anything, Li Tang's country will be in danger. This is the humble position. Please make a decision early!"

After finishing speaking, He Lanminzhi didn't say any more, and bowed to the man surnamed Xue in the chair, then turned and left.

The man surnamed Xue was not someone else, but Xue Yi, the grandson of Tang Taizong Li Shimin. According to the clan relationship, he was more or less related to He Lanmin.

After He Lanminzhi left, a young man in brocade clothes came out from behind the screen where Xue Wei was sitting.

The young man was very good-looking, with delicate features and handsome appearance, especially his white and tender skin, which surpassed even women.

The young man strolled to the window, looked at He Lan Minzhi who was already walking on the street, and said nothing.

Xue Yi came to the side of the young man with a wine glass in his hand, breaking the short silence:
"Erlang! What do you think?"

The boy called Erlang stared at the back with a pair of clear eyes, shook his head and sighed:

"What a powerful character I am, but I'm just a fool who lost his mind. This kind of person doesn't live long!"

Xue Yi laughed, and slapped the boy on the shoulder with forgetfulness:
"It's not him who is asking for brother, but what he said!"

"Get your dirty hands off!"

The young man frowned, knocked off his elder brother's big hand, took out a silk scarf from his bosom, wiped repeatedly the shoulder patted by his elder brother, and then said lightly:

"Even if he got what he said, so what, if Li Hong can't do it, let Li Xian take the top. There are chess pieces in his hand, and it is far from the time to lift the chessboard, and he wants to borrow a knife to kill someone? Hehe, he is afraid that he has made a mistake in his wishful thinking!"

After the young man finished speaking, Xue Yi looked at his younger brother with admiration again. At such a young age, his mind is already far beyond ordinary people, and he is especially well versed in trickery. If he grows up a bit...

Xue Wei shook his head, not daring to think any further.

When he came back to his senses, he saw the young man looking at him suspiciously, and said with some complaints:

"This kind of stuff is also worthy of entering my Star Picking Tower? Brother, please give me an explanation!"

Xue Wei thought for a while and replied, "Someone wants him to live!"

With a simple sentence, the young man immediately understood, looked at the direction where He Lanminzhi disappeared again, and said regretfully:
"Unfortunately, he wants to die himself!"

Seeing that the young man rarely sighed for others, Xue Wei joked:

"I said Erlang, why are you so melancholy today, what's on your mind, tell Brother Wei!"

"Brother, please call me Sanlang, Erlang is Xue Xu!" the boy corrected.

It's good not to mention it, but Xue Yi's face is full of anger when he mentions it:

"What's the point of mentioning him? I don't have such an unfilial son in my Xue family, so I will call you Erlang as a brother in the future!"

The young man knew that the conflict between the two brothers was irreconcilable, so he could only smile wryly:
"Well, you should call me Xue Shao!"

　Who is Xue Shao?Needless to say, in this book, this Chang'an No. [-] young talent will be the bondage of our Miss Taiping's life. For the sake of the hero's appearance, leave a recommendation ticket!
