Four Nights Red House

The color of the ink is rolling in, spreading slowly towards the far and far away, wrapping the majestic and majestic Daming Palace like a gloomy dead city.However, the palace candles lit up one by one from one temple to another echo the starlight in the sky, but they are like night pearls full of light waves dotted on dark satin.

The night of the Tang Palace has been like this since ancient times, with a mysterious charm, and a curtain of cover is blocked from it. Behind the curtain, there are always incomprehensible and incomprehensible conspiracies and schemes flowing secretly and frankly. Like a devil hiding in the virtual space with a calm and sly smile...

When Wan'er stepped into the bedroom, she immediately regained her senses and turned away the palace servants who were serving her left and right.After the door hinge was closed with a "squeak", she regained her composure, and immediately moved to the front of the desks, raised her hand to pick up a brush, dipped the ink in the inkstone, and leaned over to quietly by the melting candlelight. write a secret letter.

This letter is addressed to Linzi King Li Longji...

Although Wan'er is Li Xian's concubine, and has been relied on and trusted by Empress Wei, she has always been on Li Dan's side, and this has never changed.She will help Li Dan anytime.

It's just that Li Dan's attitude is really unpredictable. Even now, across several generations of kings and through many events, Wan'er still can't fully grasp Li Dan!She doesn't understand whether Li Dan's attitude towards power has changed fundamentally. In the past when Emperor Gaozong was in power, he was just not interested in power, so he was not enthusiastic about it; Touching power, so he is not enthusiastic about it; the atmosphere is different today, the sky of the Tang Dynasty has changed a few times, Zhongzong Li Xian succeeded to the throne, and in order to protect his life, Li Dan had to abandon his indifferent persistence, Fight for this power and this situation!But his attitude is not the slightest different from before...

Wan'er is really afraid that even though he understands her situation at the moment and understands that she can only choose between life or death, she still chooses to go with the flow and live naturally!Under such a situation, choosing to let nature take its course is tantamount to choosing to wait for death slowly. Even if Li Dan really made this choice, she would never let him do it, and would not tolerate him complying with such a choice!

So she will help him, she communicated with Li Longji secretly, this kind of help is almost hidden from Li Dan, she is afraid that he will stop accepting her help because of many considerations after he finds out, even he should know it well .And there is another reason why she communicated directly with Longji through Li Dan, that is, Li Dan is now one of the most important figures on the political stage of the Tang Dynasty, and he has always been watched too closely. It's a little better, and it's naturally safer when traveling.

A gust of night wind passed through the hall lightly, blowing a corner of the rice paper laid out on the table, and there was a slight "rustling" sound sneaking into the eardrums.Wan'er paused for a while, raised her eyes and glanced at the knotted candle flower in mid-air, then thought about it again, and then wrote again...

The content of this secret letter is not very much, but every word is pearly, and there is absolutely no nonsense.

In the letter, she told Longji that she would introduce Empress Wei to Wu Sansi, and create opportunities for the two to move around frequently when the situation changed.At that time, she will mobilize her contacts secretly and make a fuss about Empress Wei and Wu Sansi!You must pay close attention to the relevant trends these days, and I hope you will also use the contacts you can to cooperate with me.

Shangguan Wan'er is worthy of being a counselor in the rouge tent and a prime minister in the inner palace!This is a good way to take advantage of the trend and take advantage of the situation!

After all, Zhongzong and Empress Wei didn't know much about Shangguan Wan'er. They thought that they had won Wan'er's heart and that Wan'er would follow their wishes, but they didn't know that the most terrible crisis was actually around them where they couldn't prevent it!The docile marks on Wan'er's face and the deviation seen in her actions are nothing but the false mask she has created in the Tang Palace over the years, and the true disguise that she has already mastered and cannot be more skilled!

As far as this matter is concerned, Wan'er agreed to Zhongzong's request and accepted Zhaorong's position. In the eyes of Zhongzong and his wife, everything Wan'er did was sincerely toward them and helped them, but nothing happened. Thinking that after such so-called help and protection, she laid out a trap full of thorns, and she didn't need to do anything, just waiting for them to jump... and Wei Hou and Wu Sansi, the two crucial main characters, and Zhongzong Li Xian's clue for maintenance is the most precise catalyst for this trap!

.

When Emperor Zhongzong came to court the next day, Wan'er went to pay a visit to Wei Zheng, who was the queen, in person.

Perhaps it was because Li Xian had already explained to his wife that Zheng'er was not planning to go to court with her husband today, it was more like waiting for Shangguan Wan'er's arrival deliberately.With a leisurely posture and luxurious clothes, after she excused Wan'er who was saluting, she waved at the palace full of people and retreated them all.

This kind of battle made Wan'er understand that Empress Wei must have guessed something, which is not surprising, because the line that Zhongzong asked her to lead Wu Sansi was originally discussed with Wei Zheng, and it was even so rouge-like. His idea was more like Wei Zheng's.There are always too many understandings between smart people and smart people, so there are always many benefits to being straightforward.

"Empress Empress." At the gesture of Empress Wei, Wan'er sat down on a embroidered pier opposite her, and through a slight wave of morning light, she focused her eyes and nodded to her, "With His Majesty's instruction, Wan'er is willing to become a Zhaorong... is also willing to help His Majesty cultivate power and overcome difficulties." After a pause, she said so.

Her expression is always indifferent, without joy or sorrow, this iceberg-like face always carries too much narrow edge, even if she is an emperor or empress, she can't help but be intimidated by the aura when facing such a face , Inexplicably suppressed many of his own edge.

While listening to Wan'er spit out her words, Wei Zheng's heartstrings were actually tense!The implementation of this plan is actually simple, but what can be done if Shangguan Wan'er is reluctant?Wan'er is really difficult to deal with, you can only influence her step by step and win her over, but you can't just use her and coax her for quick success.Because she seems to have the most transparent heart in the world. The more this crystal heart is buried in the dust and sand of the floating world, the more dazzling and rare it will be. She only belongs to herself, and you have nothing to do with it. There is no way!

So when Wei Zheng heard what Wan'er said in a calm tone, his heartstrings relaxed, and the big rock that had been hanging in his heart for a long time fell down with a "thump"!

A smile quickly appeared on her heavily made-up face, and she did not want to hide her joy at the moment, but the empress still acted perfectly: "Master Shangguan has this kind of heart, I and the emperor knew about it early on!" He didn't call Wan'er "Zhao Rong", but still called her "Master Shangguan".Such titles were tacitly shared between the two, and the title of imperial concubine in name was just an admiration of their status, and there was nothing else. How could Shangguan Wan'er have ever really been an imperial concubine with Gaozong!

In fact, if it is possible, Empress Wei really hopes that this Zhaorong can have some substance with Zhongzong, so maybe it will be better for Wan'er to fit under their control and never be distracted.But this is impossible. Some people's minds are doomed to be powerless to control.

"Wan'er is also aware of the queen's care for Wan'er." Hearing Wei Zheng's words, Wan'er smiled slightly, and gave her a reply in such a tepid way.

The smell of incense is sent in layer by layer along with the blowing of the wind. When it floats into the nose, it is faint and curling. It is a refreshing mint flavor, which seems to be mixed with rose and jasmine.The atmosphere also followed such back and forth opening words, which somewhat eased the initial embarrassment, intentional or unintentional.

Empress Wei nodded, picked up a small enamel pot, poured a cup of tea, and pushed it closer to Wan'er: "Zhaorong is exquisite in mind and intelligent in ice and snow, and you can see it through at once!" This time she called her "Zhaorong" and deliberately put It goes without saying that the distance is close.

Back and forth, both of them spoke very euphemistically during the call, and neither of them directly mentioned anything related to Wu Sansi, not even dabbled in words.

Wan'er cast her eyes down at the tea Wei Hou handed over, but she didn't move.She is not an arrogant person. Although she has a high spirit, she knows how to act meticulously and not cross the border. She is not so conceited that she will not accept the queen's tea offer without knowing what is good or bad.

"Empress Empress." The crimson lips moved slightly, and a deep taste slowly settled in Wan'er's fetal eyes.She leaned forward towards Wei Zheng, and her tone was normal and following the trend, "Wan'er has an old friend outside the palace. Recently, I heard that he found a good tea and hid it in the mansion. I don't know if your mother is interested. Let me sit in his mansion together and drink the mellow and delicious tea?" It was completely gossip and homely expression and tone, without the slightest hint of conspiracy.

Looking at each other, Wei Zheng smelled the taste of concealment from Wan'er's deep eyes, and after listening to the words quietly, her heart moved... she suddenly understood that the so-called old friend Wan'er pointed to in these words was Wu Sansi!

The gentle wind circulates and flutters in the suddenly quiet inner room, arousing the floating light in the quiet room.After a short while of knowing each other, Wei Hou curled his lips slightly, and did not speak, but nodded heavily...

That's it, everything after that couldn't be more logical.

Zhongzong and Empress Wei wanted to connect with the Wu family, but it was inconvenient for them to come out on their own.At this moment, with Wan'er, a suitable intermediary, to moderately mediate, the emperor wants to support the power to stabilize the rule, and Wu Sansi also wants to cling to the imperial power to glorify himself, so the two parties hit it off and came together soon!

The harmonious relationship between the Li and Wu families and the harmony of getting along with each other are always enviable by others!Empress Wei went out of the palace with Wan'er every now and then, and together they went to Wufu to look for Wu Sansi for a small sit.They tasted tea, or recited poems, and laughed and talked about floating life, so they were not willful; not long after, Zhongzong Li Xian also joined them. The mutual benefit and mutual assistance relationship between families has become more and more strong, easy to approach and unbreakable in this frequent walking around day in and day out...
