Tang Dynasty: The seventh rank of official residence, and you will be given the Ten Thousand People

Chapter 321 Shangguan Wan'er's fate

Back at Prince Yan's Mansion, Shangguan Wan'er locked herself in the room, her pretty face uncertain.

She is an ambitious person and does not want to stay in the boudoir all her life to raise a husband and raise children. She wants to become a queen that everyone looks up to like Wu Zetian.

Of course, this is just an idea and there is no way it can be realized.

Wu Zetian was the daughter-in-law of the Li family. Although she usurped the throne and became emperor, she was still a member of the Li family.

But she is different. In addition to making people laugh, she will not have anyone to support her.

So she put her hope in Fan Xin. As long as this guy became the emperor, she would be the imperial concubine and the next Wu Zetian to ascend the throne with her husband!
"This matter is too important. With Fan Xin's character, he will definitely not break his oath to Wu Zetian. It seems that I can only help him." Shangguan Wan'er said with narrowed eyes.

After making a decision in her heart, Shangguan Wan'er opened the door and walked to Princess Taiping's room.

The seemingly huge power of Prince Yan's Palace is actually in the hands of a few women.

Princess Taiping is the head wife and is in charge of the entire palace's finances, while Yinzhu is in charge of all the bodyguards of the Fan family.

As for her and Princess Taiping, they are jointly responsible for maintaining the palace's connections in various places.

Therefore, if she wants to plot against the Tang Dynasty, she must obtain the support of Princess Taiping.

"Hey, Wan'er, why are you here?" In the room, Princess Taiping asked in surprise while pushing mahjong.

After signaling the maids to go out, Shangguan Wan'er sat at the mahjong table and sighed.

"My sister doesn't know something. This morning, my sister did not go to White Horse Temple to offer incense. Instead, she met someone."

"one person?"

"Yes, Princess Anle's son Wu Jizhi."

Recalling the past, Shangguan Wan'er said with a wry smile: "When Princess Anle and Wu Yanxiu were killed, my sister once looked for him, but it seemed like she had disappeared."

"I didn't expect that he would come out again this time and invite my sister to join in the rebellion."

Princess Taiping was someone who had been involved in palace battles all year round, and she quickly discovered something was wrong.

"Sister, this Wu Jizhi has been missing for too long. Could it be a trap?"

"Probably not. Both Wu Jizhi's parents died at the hands of Li Longji. He should not be a spy of the imperial court."

Seeing that Princess Taiping wanted to talk more, Shangguan Wan'er continued.

"Of course rebellion is not a trivial matter. My sister will know if Wu Jizhi is a spy for the imperial court. Before that, I just ask my sister, do you hate Li Longji?"

"Hate!" Princess Taiping clenched her silver teeth, hatred bursting out of her beautiful eyes.

"If it weren't for Li Longji, how could I have ended up hiding in Prince Yan's Mansion?"

"Go ahead and try. If Wu Jizhi really has no problem, I can help you recruit some former disciples of Prince Yan's Mansion."

Shangguan Wan'er was overjoyed and quickly gave Princess Taiping a blessing.

"Thank you for your support, sister. Once this is done, your husband will ascend to the throne and you will be the new queen!"

After the two reached a cooperation, they discussed the details. In order to test whether Wu Jizhi was a spy for the imperial court, Princess Taiping gave Shangguan Wan'er a blank piece of paper.

There are only a few words on it, "Wu De, General of the Right Jinwu Guard".

"Sister, what are you talking about? Wu De is one of ours?" Shangguan Wan'er looked shocked.

Princess Taiping smiled and said: I didn't expect that Wu De, known as Li Longji's right-hand man, turned out to be Fan Xin's confidant.

“I really didn’t expect it, it’s really unbelievable.”

Shangguan Wan'er's beautiful eyes turned around, stood up and smiled.

"Sister, let's continue playing mahjong. Sister, go see Wu De and prepare for tomorrow's test...

One night passed, Shangguan Wan'er finished washing up early, put on a brand new scholar's robe, and got on a sedan chair to go to White Horse Temple.

According to the agreement, today is the day for her to meet everyone.

When he came to Baima Temple, the host welcomed Shangguan Wan'er into the Zen room as usual. The only difference was that there were a few more people inside.

"Sister Wan'er, you're here. Come on, let me introduce you to a few righteous men with the same aspirations."

Wu Jizhi's face lit up with joy, he stood up from the futon and pointed at the two men in armor.

"These two generals are General Cao Mengde, the general of Zuoying Yangwei Zhonglang, and General Duan Yiwu, the general of Zuoweiwei Zhonglang."

Then he pointed at the white-haired old man: "This is Lord Qin Tianjian Liu Han."

The three people whose names were called stood up and bowed their hands towards Shangguan Wan'er.

"I have always heard that Miss Shangguan is known as the heroine prime minister. It will be even more powerful for us to have the help of you and King Yan to fight against the Tang Dynasty."

Shangguan Wan'er frowned slightly. To be honest, the status of the three people in front of her was indeed high, and they each had their own role in launching the palace coup.

But it's almost impossible to succeed with them.

These guys clearly want to use Fan Xin's power to seize Li Tang's kingdom.

Sensing Shangguan Wan'er's strange expression, Wu Jizhi blushed and coughed.

"Sister Wan'er, don't blame me. You also know that Li Longji has been the emperor for too long. It is too difficult to find someone with strength in a short time."

"But don't worry, Wu will never be greedy for power after avenging his parents. Being a prince is enough."

"Me too."

Looking at the four people who were bowing together, Shangguan Wa'er's face looked much better.

"Since several adults plan to switch to King Yan's command, then I will..."

Before he finished speaking, the door was knocked open with a bang, and a group of guards armed with weapons broke into the Zen room and surrounded several people.

Wu Jizhi and others were so frightened that they all trembled and said with panicked expressions.

"Who are you? How dare you break into the Buddhist Zen room without permission?"

"We're here to catch you!"

The crowd parted, and a general with thick eyebrows and big eyes wearing a cloak walked into the Zen room. His eyes swept across the crowd and finally landed on Wu Jizhi.

"Boy, are you the one who secretly contacted the rebels in an attempt to change the dynasty?"

"Come here, bring them all back to me!"

The Jinwu guards shouted loudly, rolled up their sleeves and rushed forward. In a few moments, they uniformed everyone and took them to the prison.

When Wu Jizhi was imprisoned in the dark prison again, he almost went crazy and shook the railing desperately to express his innocence.

"Boy, it's no use shouting at you here. Tell me, who is behind you?" the jailer said with a sneer.

Naturally, Wu Jizhi would not say anything to a jailer. He could only tell Wu De when he had made up his mind, and no one else could reveal it.

"Okay, you've got the guts! You've got a tough mouth! Brothers, give me a beating!"

Seeing this, the jailer's eyes turned cold, he raised his whip and struck hard.

Soon there were screams in the cell.

In the darkness, Wu De frowned and said: Miss Shangguan is almost ready. If this guy is really a spy, he should be recruited by now.

Seeing that Wu Jizhi was taking in more air than out, Shangguan Wan'er nodded slightly.

"Okay, let's go out and tell him the truth."

Wu Jizhi heard the footsteps and reluctantly opened his eyes. When he saw Wu De coming, he was about to tell the truth when a beautiful figure suddenly appeared in his sight.

"Sister Wan'er? Weren't you taken away? Why are you here?"

Shangguan Wan'er and Wu De looked at each other and said to Wu Jizhi with a smile.

"I'm sorry, Ji Zhi. It's such a serious matter that sister has to be careful. Someone comes and releases Mr. Wu and the three gentlemen."

After saying this, Jin Wuwei escorted the three intact men into the prison. After everyone reunited, Wu Jizhi secretly exclaimed that it was so dangerous that he almost confessed the truth.

"Miss Shangguan, it turns out that we have sincerely surrendered to His Highness King Yan. You should believe it this time, right?" Qin Tianjian said with an ugly expression.

"This is natural. Let's sign a covenant and discuss how to get rid of Li Longji afterwards!"

Shangguan Wan'er took out four copies of the covenant written in black and white and threw them on the ground.

The few of them looked at each other without much hesitation and directly wrote their names and pressed their fingerprints.

After putting the covenant away, Shangguan Wan'er took a long breath and said with a smile.

"Okay, the Anti-Tang Alliance has been officially established. Ji Zhi, it's time for you to take out the jewels hidden by Princess Anle."

Suddenly, a burst of laughter sounded.

"Hey, Miss Shangguan is so well-informed that she even knows about the buried jewels!"

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of everyone in the prison changed slightly, and they all looked towards the door.

There, a group of Habayashi guards armed with weapons were pouring in.

Among them was Gao Lishi or someone else.

Wu De's face darkened, he strode forward and said displeasedly.

"Eunuch Gao's prison is under the jurisdiction of this general. Why are you bringing people in?"

Looking at Wu De's face, Gao Lishi shook his head regretfully.

"General Wu, His Majesty has been very kind to you, but you actually took refuge in Fan Xin at all costs. It's really disappointing. Come on, take it!"

Wow!
Dozens of Yulin guards put their spears against Wu De's body, ready to tear him apart with their spears if he dared to move.

After subduing Wu De, Gao Lishi came to Shangguan Wan'er and smiled.

"Miss Shangguan, we haven't seen each other for a long time. I didn't expect to meet here."

Shangguan Wan'er sneered: "Who I thought was Eunuch Gao? If my prediction is correct, Wu Jizhi and others have joined Li Longji, right?"

Hearing his name, Wu Jizhi lowered his head in shame, not daring to look at Shangguan Wan'er's face.

Gao Lishi clicked his tongue twice.

"As expected of a heroine prime minister, he guessed the truth based on just one trivial matter. It's a pity that you will never have the chance again."

Speaking of this, Gao Lishi's smile faded and he shook off the dust.

"take away!"

There is no airtight wall in the world. Princess Taiping soon received the news that Shangguan Wan'er and Wu De had been arrested, and she quickly found Yin Zhu to discuss the matter.

"Sister Yinzhu, what should we do? If Wan'er is arrested, the emperor will soon attack the Fan family. It's me who has caused trouble for you."

Looking at Princess Taiping who kept wiping her tears, Yinzhu snorted with a cold face, not having the nerve to reprimand her after all.

"Forget it, sister, the first priority is to send a message to my husband as soon as possible and let him think of a solution."

"I'm afraid it will only take a month or two for the imperial court to take action against Prince Yan's Mansion."

After speaking, he looked at the bodyguard with a straight face. .

"You immediately take people to Dafeichuan to find the prince, and tell him that the Fan family is in danger. If you want to keep this family, tell him not to come back!"

"Ah, this!" Several eunuchs didn't know what to say.

"Go!"

"Yes!"

After the eunuchs left, Yin Zhu said to everyone.

"Sister, immediately order the Qianniu Guards to seal off the entire Fan Family Village. No one is allowed in or out. At the same time, open a secret passage to secretly transfer the Fan Family's property to Youzhou!"

"At the same time, inform Wei Yuanzhong, Wang Xiaojie, and Lou Shide, and ask them to leave Luoyang and go to Youzhou as soon as possible."

"Yes!"

Everyone bowed and left in a hurry.

While the entire Yan Palace was busy retreating, Princess Yinzhu put on her imperial uniform and came to the palace escorted by hundreds of Qianniu Guards.

After asking the guards to check their waistbands, they came all the way to Yunde Palace. Queen Wang was not surprised at all to see her coming and sitting on the bed.

"I thought you would go to Concubine Wu Hui to plead for mercy, but I didn't expect you to come here."

Princess Yinzhu sighed, put her hands on her hands and said respectfully.

"In the final analysis, your Majesty, the Empress and Your Majesty suffer together, and this is something that Concubine Wu Hui cannot compare with."

Sure enough, after hearing these words, Queen Wang looked much better and asked the maid to move a chair for her.

"Yinzhu, I know why you came, but to tell you the truth, His Majesty is determined to kill Shangguan Wan'er in this matter, and I have no choice."

Yinzhu was not surprised by Queen Wang's attitude. Hearing this, he took out a pass from his arms.

"Your Majesty, Shangguan Wan'er, was greedy for profit and was taken advantage of by evildoers. She would not regret dying. I only hope that you will allow me to see her for the last time because Fan Xin has helped you."

"This……"

Looking at the pass worth 200,000 yuan, Queen Wang hesitated, and then sighed.

"That's all. Since your Fan family has some connection with me, I will help you one last time."

"Remember, the explanation must be completed within a quarter of an hour, and it must not be seen by His Majesty's people."

Taking the waist badge, Yinzhu bowed to Queen Wang and turned around to leave.

Shangguan Wan'er committed the crime of rebellion and was imprisoned in Dali Temple Prison.

When Yin Zhu came here before, the jailers would have knelt on the ground to greet him.
But it's no longer necessary. The Minister of Dali Temple has been dismissed from office because of Fan Xin, and the new people have all changed their faces.

"Stop, whoever asked you to come in quickly get out!"

The expressions of several Qianniu Beishen changed, and they stepped forward and slapped them with two big ear-scratchers.

"You are so blind that you dare to be disrespectful to Mrs. Yan Guo!"

"If you dare to hit someone, come..."

Before he finished speaking, a golden waistband appeared in front of the jailer, which frightened several people into changing their expressions and leaving the way.

Arriving at the death row unimpeded, Princess Yinzhu winked at Qian Niuwei, who pulled out a knife and cut off the lock.

Hearing the noise, Shangguan Wan'er opened her eyes and looked up, and realized that Yin Zhu was coming and rushed to greet her.

"Sister Yinzhu, are you here to rescue me?"

Unexpectedly, her answer was a loud slap in the face.

"You?" Shangguan Wan'er covered her face with a smile frozen on her face.

"Don't call me sister. I don't have a selfish sister like you. Do you know that because of your selfishness, the entire Fan family is facing a life and death crisis!"

"Tell me, how do you want your husband to live in the future?"

Shangguan Wan'er covered her face and said nothing. It was indeed her fault.

She also didn't expect Li Longji's city to be so deep.

Seeing that Shangguan Wan'er remained silent, Princess Yinzhu took a deep breath and took out a white pill from her pocket.

"This is the leg-stretching eye-stretching pill developed by Mr. Please take it."
