Datang: Starting from a fortune-telling stall, Wu Zetian was suddenly abducted

Chapter 41 This world is really in chaos

The next day.

When Queen Changsun woke up, Wu Zhao informed her of the matter.

For a moment, Empress Changsun was curious about Yuan Shouwei, smiled and nodded in agreement.

The group traveled lightly and soon arrived at the foot of Huayin Mountain.

Queen Changsun got off the carriage and glanced at the hill in front of her. She couldn't help but take a deep breath and said with approval:

"This mountain is very beautiful, and even the air under the mountain is so good."

"When I came here, I felt that my illness was getting better."

Wu Zhao supported her thoughtfully: "The air in the mountains will be better."

"Moreover, Taoist Yuan has also planted many extremely rare crops, and the yield is very high. I'll see you later, and the disease will be better."

Hearing this, Queen Changsun became more interested, "In that case, let's go up the mountain quickly, I can't wait to see it."

Wu Zhao responded, and then motioned to the eunuch behind him to carry the sedan over, but he saw Empress Changsun waving her hand.

"There's no need for a soft sedan. I'm here to tell fortunes. I have to be pious, so let's just go up."

Wu Zhao was a little worried about her health: "Mom, can you do it?"

"Don't worry, it's fine." Empress Changsun stroked a lock of her hair, and walked up the mountain first, Wu Zhao could only follow quickly.

Queen Changsun admired the beautiful scenery on the mountain as she walked.

Not long after, when the group was about to reach the top of the mountain, they saw Yuan Shouwei already coming down.

It turned out that Wu Zhao had already sent someone to notify Yuan Shouwei.

However, she never told Yuan Shouwei that she was named a princess, mainly thinking that there was no need to show off.

And she could also see that Yuan Shouwei was not the kind of person who cared about status.

Therefore, when she came to have her fortune told this time, she did not tell Yuan Shouwei that the person who came to tell her fortune was Empress Changsun, so she said she was her mother.

This made Yuan Shouwei very nervous, and he quickly cleaned the inside and outside of the Taoist temple spotlessly.

He also put on a new Taoist robe, straightened his back and stood at the mountain pass to greet him.

When he saw the woman with extraordinary temperament supported by Wu Zhao, he remembered that he had met this person when he was telling Wu Zhao's fortune. From this point of view, this person was not Wu Zhao's biological mother Yang, but someone from the palace. people.

This made him feel relieved.

However, seeing Wu Zhao being so close to her, it was difficult to confirm the identity of this person, and for a while, she didn't know how to call him.

He suppressed his nervousness and saluted, "I have seen... a layman."

When Empress Changsun saw Yuan Shouwei, her eyes flashed instantly, she looked like a pretty little Taoist priest.

She also bowed: "My eldest grandson, Wugu, has met Taoist Yuan."

Hearing the sound, Yuan Shouwei was startled, eldest grandson Wugu?Isn't that the current queen, Li Shimin's wife?
She came to tell her fortune?What kind of?
While he was dazed, he thought about the early death of Empress Changsun, and then thought that this year was the ninth year of Zhenguan, and it became clear in an instant.

He opened his mouth and said, "Please laymen move to the top of the mountain."

After finishing his words, he glanced at Wu Zhao quietly, wondering why Wu Zhao was with the queen?
However, Wu Zhao stuck out his tongue at him.

The little moves of the two were noticed by Empress Changsun, and the relationship between the two young men was obviously good.

As they talked, they soon reached the top of the mountain. Queen Changsun was instantly attracted to the farmland on one side.

In order to understand the world's agricultural affairs, she and Li Shimin opened a farmland in the palace and planted some crops.

However, she had never seen the crops in front of her before, and suddenly remembered what Wu Zhao said just now at the foot of the mountain, so she couldn't help walking over.

A group of people also followed her and approached the farmland. Now the crops have changed a lot from when Li Chunfeng was on the mountain.

Yuan Shouwei feels that this has something to do with the abundant aura on the mountain, and now it seems that it will mature in another month.At this time, Empress Changsun looked at Yuan Shouwei and asked, "Daoist Yuan, I don't know what kind of crops these are. I don't seem to have seen them before."

Before Yuan Shouwei could introduce, Wu Zhao took the lead and said, "I know, I know what these crops are, let me tell you."

After finishing speaking, he pointed to the crop furthest away from them and introduced: "The one that looks like bamboo is called corn, and the yield per mu can reach one thousand catties."

Pointing to a crop less than half a foot high on the right, the branches are covered with oval leaves, and the small white flowers are like poached eggs, and said: "This is called potatoes, and the yield per mu can reach about [-] catties. Grows in the ground.”

Immediately, he pointed to the nearest to them, a large triangular leaf, purple like amber under the sunlight, and said:

"This crop is even more powerful. It's called sweet potato. It also grows in the ground. The yield per mu can be as high as [-] kilograms."

After hearing Wu Zhao's words, everyone showed expressions of disbelief, especially the palace ladies, whose small mouths were getting bigger.

Empress Changsun, on the other hand, had a calm face, looked at Wu Zhao with fondness in her eyes and said, "Zhao'er, don't talk nonsense, there are no crops with such a high yield."

"Did you know that the current yield of wheat per acre is only about two hundred pounds?"

Hearing this, Wu Zhao showed an expression on his face. I knew you didn't believe me. He smiled and said, "Mom, I'm not talking nonsense. If you don't believe me, ask Taoist Yuan."

Yuan Shouwei was dumbfounded when he heard that Wu Zhao called Empress Changsun 'Mother' instead of 'Empress'.

This world is really crazy!
Wu Zetian calls Empress Changsun her mother!
You're just a senior, right?
However, now was not the time to talk about this. He suppressed his curiosity, looked at Queen Changsun, introduced all the crops in detail, and also told her his plan.

After hearing Yuan Shouwei's introduction, Queen Changsun was instantly shocked.

She pondered for a moment, and then said: "The Taoist Master's righteousness really makes Wu Gu admire him."

"Whether you want a reward or not, I will help you get it when the time comes."

Although Yuan Shouwei did not need these rewards, it was Empress Changsun's kindness, and he would not let it down, so he bowed and thanked her.

Then, he brought the topic back to business, "Your Majesty, I'm here. I don't know what side you want to settle?"

Empress Changsun said with a smile: "My health is not very good, I want to ask the Taoist priest to calculate the good and bad luck for me, and see if there is any way to solve it."

Yuan Shouwei made a gesture of invitation, pointing to the long table behind him: "My lady, please." After saying that, he took the lead to sit down.

Queen Changsun knelt down opposite Yuan Shouwei, clasped her hands together, first recited the "Calming Mantra", and then slowly placed her hands on the compass.

The compass guides the starlight, and the starlight pours on the compass.

Queen Changsun seemed to sense it and looked up into the void.

However, Yuan Shouwei and Wu Zhao stared closely at the pointer that started to rotate.

After the hands stopped turning, both of them felt nervous.

[The guest star invades and stays in the Santai Star area, which indicates that the noble minister is seriously ill. 】

【Ominous omen. 】

Yuan Shouwei, who understood history, knew that this would be the result, but historians of later generations also disagreed on the real cause of Queen Changsun's death.

Eager to know the answer, he raised his head and looked at the large golden characters in the void:
【bad omen】

[Disaster: hereditary disease, haggard mind]

[Reward: Ten years of cultivation]

[Resolving: Mysterious Food Books]

It turns out to be this kind of disease.

From this point of view, the rumors from later generations cannot be fully believed.

I just don’t know what kind of use this "Mysterious Food Book" can be used for?
