Four Nights Red House

On June [-]nd of the fourth year of Jinglong, Shangguan Wan'er, who had been far away from Daming Palace, the center of power of the Fengyunhui for a long time, was suddenly summoned into the palace by a secret decree.

The decree came really abruptly and quickly. At that time, Wan'er was leaning on the exquisite waterside pavilion and squinting her eyes to admire the lotus that was about to bloom all over the lake. Suddenly, the father-in-law who delivered the decree came from the Ming Palace.

The father-in-law Wan'er had seen it before, so she was very surprised, because this was not the father-in-law who was the deacon beside Zhongzong, but the close minister of Empress Wei...

Knowing that she couldn't find out why from the father-in-law, Wan'er didn't say much, she just received the order and hurriedly made preparations, and entered the palace again in a soft sedan chair.

The warm wind was blowing against her face, not very strong, but while the tassels were swaying, she was disturbed in her mood!

Along the way, her thoughts kept going in circles, and she made so many guesses over and over again.Zhongzong or Empress Wei, what was their motive for suddenly calling her into the palace?What is the purpose?

Such a long period of peaceful days always made her feel faintly uneasy. She really felt that this might be the last period of seemingly peaceful but actually turbulent time before the real storm came... Could it be that the emperor suddenly made a decision? Thoughts, do you want to attack Xiangwang and Taiping?

If so, what is the reason for calling her, Zhaorong, into the palace?Are you going to use her as evidence of "fornication" with King Xiang and use this as a breakthrough?This is not necessarily true, because if it really happened, Zhongzong would definitely be caught off guard, so why would he recall her to the palace?Are you not afraid of scaring the snake?

Therefore, after thinking about it all the way, Wan'er showed her face, and came to a vague conclusion that Zhongzong and Empress Wei didn't want her to die, but needed her to continue to do something for them... just , what kind of thing will it be?

After thinking about it, I have reached the Daming Palace.

But soon she will find that all her exquisite thoughts and guesses along the way are actually in vain!After Wan'er entered the palace, she didn't see Emperor Li Xian, but only saw Empress Wei.

As soon as the sandalwood lips were opened, the voice was quiet, and the universe suddenly turned upside down, revealing such a great change that shocked the world: Empress Wei told Wan'er that the emperor... has passed away!

Wan'er shocked!

Wei Zheng's complexion is very ugly now, he has applied a thick layer of powder on his face to cover up his haggard look, but it has no real effect.When the sun flickered, her whole body was reflected like a ghost.

Seeing Wan'er's sudden expression, Wei Zheng sighed, his frail body was leaning against a wooden window behind him, and his voice was like a gust of wind: "The emperor walked too suddenly... Wind disease and asthma." The accent is forced to be normal, and a sorrow permeates inside.

After going back and forth, Wan'er had already collected her demeanor and returned to her senses.

Wind disease, asthma... I see!

This is a genetic disease common to the Li family. Many people in the Li and Tang royal families suffered from this disease of wealth and wealth, and eventually died of this invisible claw.Today, Zhongzong is also destined to die here, like an inescapable catastrophe or a curse, but he has to sigh about his fate!

Wan'er's heart was inexplicably blocked, even though she had always been indifferent and tasteless.She fixed her eyes again and looked at Empress Wei in front of her. This woman is strong. She has accompanied her husband in trouble to help him through life and death again and again, and she has given him countless times of encouragement and determination to help him. Take correct and wise actions.They were in trouble together, and they also went through a period of troubles, but they also shared wealth and power and shared boundless power... Now that her husband is leaving her behind, this blow to Empress Wei is really sudden and huge!

"Since Your Majesty has passed away, the Empress Dowager should also express her condolences and change her mind!" With a twitch in her heart, the feeling of being a woman touched the tenderness of Wan'er's heart.She opened her mouth and stared at her, comforting Wei Zheng slightly.

At the same time, Wan'er also had such a string in her mind. Looking at the posture of Empress Wei in front of her, she didn't tell the world about the death of the emperor, but she just quietly welcomed her Shangguan Wan'er into the palace. Obviously, Empress Wei is currently It's because he doesn't want everyone in the world to know that Zhongzong has passed away...then the true story hidden intentionally or unintentionally is so intriguing!

Everyone is a smart person, and there is no need to have many taboos when speaking.Wei Zheng also understood Wan'er's exquisite thoughts.

Staring at the smoke lingering in the incense cauldron, Zheng'er chose Xiudun and sat down: "Alas..." There was another faint sigh, and she looked so helpless when she lowered her eyebrows, "Your Majesty and I have always been very affectionate." Hou, every time I remind him to pay attention to his body, he always nods his head perfunctorily, but he just doesn't take it to heart!" Those full eyes seemed to have accumulated some tears, Wei Zheng recalled being emotional, and had to look up. Fill your hands with a cup of tea and taste it in your throat to suppress the ups and downs in your heart.

Wan'er walked up to Empress Wei and sat down face to face with her.She heard her continue to say: "Nowadays he has gone, leaving such a big stall behind, he left as soon as he said... why did he leave suddenly! I was left alone to face this scattered situation. The unconsolidated situation, what should I do..."

Wan'er could understand the turmoil and worry in Empress Wei's heart.At the same time, what was figured out was the real purpose of Empress Wei secretly summoning herself into the palace.

At this time, Wei Zheng raised his eyes, and when he looked at Wan'er, there was a sharp determination in his eyes: "You help me draft the emperor's will, according to my intention, immediately and as soon as possible!" The voice no longer had the softness and plaintiveness just now, but was full of shrewdness and ability.

Such a request was naturally expected by Wan'er.She wasn't surprised, but had a flash of inspiration...

I know in my heart that even though there was an incident where she defended Xiangwang in the court, in the eyes of Empress Wei, she had a different view on that matter. Here the idea of ​​handing her over to the prince to keep her safe and no longer trust Zhongzong, so I am eager to make friends with the king and open up a new way of life!So up to now, Empress Wei still regards Wan'er as someone she trusts. She feels that as long as she can show enough trust to Wan'er and make Wan'er feel at ease, she won't have too many worries, then Wan'er will naturally He will also reciprocate and hug her tightly.The emperor's death and the forgery of the edict were all told to Wan'er and entrusted to Wan'er. Could it be that Shangguan Wan'er still couldn't appreciate Empress Wei's sincerity and reliance on her?

After understanding the intention of Empress Wei's move and her long-term plan, Wan'er secretly breathed a sigh of relief...Since Empress Wei is still willing to continue to trust herself, it's good, and she can just take advantage of it.

This is an opportunity for Zhongzong's death and the drafting of the edict. Use your brains.

Of course, this brain should not take the opportunity to disobey Empress Wei, pull Wei Empress off the horse immediately, and support the King Xiang to take the throne, because everything is still immature.The most appropriate and feasible method right now is actually to violate Wei Houyang's yin and to take advantage of the situation...

"Wan'er understands what the queen means." As soon as the thought came to her mind, Wan'er agreed.But she didn't express her further thoughts right away, she just nodded to Empress Wei and said, "Drafting a will is a first-class matter, and you can't be careless at all! Empress Empress, let me think about it, I'll go back and take action right away." . " Concentrate your eyes.

Empress Wei admired this Zhou Cheng's appearance in handling affairs: "Okay, hurry up!" She also knew that forging Zhongzong's edict, which died suddenly, was a major event, and there was no chance of any mistakes in the middle. !

"Also." Wan'er's eyes sank, and she leaned towards Empress Wei slightly, "During this period, we must be extremely cautious, and we must never tell the matter that the emperor has passed away, otherwise there will be chaos, and we You can't control the situation!"

Empress Wei deliberately concealed the news of Zhongzong's death, which was also good for Wan'er.Because if the courtiers, Wen and Wu, know that Zhongzong is no longer there, the various factions will definitely cause chaos. At that time, the situation will become more chaotic. !

"I know!" Empress Wei nodded, and answered her in a deep voice with fixed eyes.

As soon as the stream of light flickered, the room was filled with sparkling waves, flickering and flickering shadows.The originally clear scenery suddenly became whirling...

.

After Wan'er left the palace, she never returned to her own mansion, but sent her entourage away, and immediately turned around and went straight to Princess Taiping's mansion.

She was right to do this.

Now that Emperor Zhongzong passed away suddenly, Empress Wei asked her to draft Zhongzong's last edict. Even if she could make up her own mind on such a big matter, she was determined logically not to let Xiang Wang know about it, otherwise she would be suspicious of her superiors. Wan'er has a different heart.

And how much eyeliner Li Dan was endowed by Empress Wei!Although Taiping is also closely followed, it is better than Li Dan, and everyone knows that she and Princess Taiping often travel together, so it seems more natural to look for Taiping than to look for Li Dan, and it saves a lot of trouble.

Shangguan Wan'er came to the door suddenly, this unexpected move made Taiping jump!And the quiet words that Wan'er said to Taiping after retreating from the crowd made her heart tremble and her thoughts flooded...

Wan'er nodded slightly, a gleam of composure and coldness permeated her Qingmo face: "The emperor is no longer here." Let's cut to the chase.

Taiping shock...

Wan'er didn't have much time to worry about Gu Taiping's astonishment, she paced up and down a few steps, and simply told Taiping the thoughts brewing in her heart: "The emperor is no longer here, and the chaotic situation needs someone to stand up and take control." ... King Xiang is naturally the best candidate, but now is not the time." Turning her eyes, she looked at Taiping, "Empress Wei is afraid that there will be forces that will shake her power at this time, and she has the intention of imitating Emperor Wu of the past. So she will first hide the news of the emperor's death." The voice changed, and he took a breath, "We might as well wait for this, and when the time is right, expose her concealment of the fact that the emperor is dead, and use it to say She had bad intentions, so she simply put a hat on her, saying that Empress Wei wanted to be a female emperor herself, and that the emperor was poisoned to death by her and Princess Anle!" Her calm eyes suddenly shone sharply, Wan'er, who had always been calm and indifferent, All of a sudden, she became like a rakshasa who was full of hostility, "in this name, completely disintegrate all her power!"

It's all too easy.After going back and forth, she also calmed down the turbulent heart song. Looking at the Rakshasa in the Shura field who revealed her essence and showed her fierce character, she was not too surprised by Wan'er's sudden transformation.In fact, they are the same, there are two completely different souls split in their bones, but they really don't know which one is the real lost self!

Wan'er told Taiping that in order to prevent any side effects from arising out of this, don't let anyone know about Zhongzong's death, even Xiangwang.

This kind of thing has always been that one more person knows that it is better to have one less person. The city is full of storms and storms will often spoil major events. There is never any harm in being cautious!

Taiping nodded, such a truth, he understood it in his heart.

This night is destined to be a thrilling sleepless night!
