Princess Taiping sneered and said, "General Wu Youxu is the boss of this guard Li. If this guard Li does not perform his skills successfully, will General Wu Youxu say a few good words for him? Shangguan Sheren, what we want is the truth, not human favors!"

Shangguan Wan'er also argued with each other: "First of all, we suspect that Wei Shi's side is using magic. Since it is magic, it will inevitably cause great harm to the person being tested. The princess is a daughter-in-law. If the princess is unconscious after being tested, and even makes any mistakes, how can the guard Li afford it?

As for whether General Wu will protect his favoritism, I think General Wu will not be willing to cheat the emperor and protect his subordinates. General Wu, will you?"

Wu Youxu immediately stepped forward and bowed and said, "The Wei Jue will report impartially. The Wei Jue is first of all, Your Majesty's General Qianniu Guard, and secondly, the former boss of the Wei Jue Li."

Wu Zetian pondered for a moment and nodded, "I believe General Wu will not disappoint me!"

Princess Taiping's two disputes with Shangguan Wan'er today failed, which really made her very angry and also made her feel alert. Her mother never gave her face like this, which only shows that her mother is determined to understand the secret of the Soul-losing Immortal Art.

Princess Taiping glanced at Xue Huaiyi in the distance again. She felt that she had no need to bury this person with her again.

At this time, Li Zhen stepped forward and said, "Please move into the room and see how the Wei-My minister uses the soul-losing technique!"

Wu Zetian glanced at Shangguan Wan'er and Princess Taiping, "You two should come in with me!"

The three of them slowly walked into the room on the second floor. This was the lobby where Wei Tuaner forced Li Zhen. The spells were cast in the inner room, and the guards had already made simple arrangements in the room.

A thick curtain was hung on the window, making the room very dark. There was an incense burner in the corner of the wall, and a bed was placed in the middle of the room, and Wu Youxu sat upright on the couch.

A huge scroll was placed vertically against the wall, which seemed to be a picture scroll. Wu Zetian also noticed that there were countless small iron wires on the roof, but she didn't know what the iron wires did.

At this time, curtains were also drawn inside and outside the rooms, making the room dark for a moment. Wu Zetian and the other two stood at the door, paying close attention to the changes in the room.

A faint smoke had already wafted from the incense burner at the corner of the house, and it was filled with the room. Wu Zetian only smelled a strange fragrance. Shangguan Wan'er immediately said in her ear: "Your Majesty, please cover your mouth and nose!"

Wu Zetian suddenly woke up and covered her mouth and nose with a silk velvet. Princess Taiping glared at Shangguan Wan'er fiercely, and quickly took out the velvet.

The lights in the room were getting brighter and white mist was shrouded in white. There was the smell of medicine and the effect of deliberately created smoke. Only the loud cries of the cranes came from the corners of the house. Wu Zetian could see clearly that these were several paper cranes hanging on the wire.

Her face was a little hot. When she saw the crane, she thought it was an immortal who had arrived, but it was obviously a paper crane, so why couldn't she see it at that time?

Among the cranes, a fairy with fairy spirit and a fairy-like immortal appeared. Looking closely, a painting hanging on the wire was also seen. The voice of the immortal man came from the room, "May the general wait for a long time!"

The voice was floating, like a sound outside the sky. Wu Youxu leaned over and knelt down, "I have been seeking immortality for a long time. I beg the Immortal Chief to guide my disciples!"

The immortal man smiled, "General Wu, please follow me to visit Xianshan!"

The scroll by the wall slowly unfolded, and a picture of the fairy mountain slowly appeared. The clouds and mist were floating, and the fairy mountain was everywhere. The scroll was also very distinctive. The fairy scenery changed naturally, as if from far to near, but this was the principle of Li Zhen using animation.

The crane flew past the canvas, and the old fairy floated over again. He only heard his long smile and said, "General Wu, I have a day in the fairy mountain and a hundred years on earth. Do you wish to go back?"

Wu Youxu was so excited that he danced and shouted loudly: "Disciple is willing to follow the immortal master, but he is not willing to return to the world!"

At this time, Wu Zetian was deeply shocked. She remembered that she was not the case at the time. Under the guidance of an old god, she traveled around Penglai and saw her husband who had become an immortal in Penglai. It turned out to be such a clumsy scene.

She already understood that it was the medicine that made Wu Youxu psychedelic and took everything as real. Wu Zetian could no longer control his anger, so he snorted heavily, turned around and walked out.

Shangguan Wan'er urgently ordered Li Zhen to stop, and she followed her out. Soon, Li Zhen walked out with Wu Youxu who was still not clear. Wu Youxu was extremely excited and stepped forward and knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I am willing to become a monk and find the art of cultivating immortals. I beg Your Majesty to remove my official position and let me leave!"

Wu Zetian stared at Wu Youxu for a while, and saw that he was still addicted to the so-called fairyland, which was very similar to his situation at that time. Her face turned red and white, and she felt ashamed. She shouted, "Go back to the palace!"

She turned around and walked downstairs, with dozens of palace maids and eunuchs clung tightly behind her. Princess Taiping said nothing and followed her mother. Shangguan Wan'er gave Li Zhen a hint of praise. She didn't say much, but also followed Wu Zetian.

At this time, Xue Huaiyi walked up to Li Zhen and said coldly: "I remind you that none of the people who are against me, Xue Huaiyi, have a good ending. If you are obsessed with it, I will kill your dog's head himself."

Li Zhen said nothing and made no statement. Xue Huaiyi stared at Li Zhen fiercely for a moment, turned around and waved his sleeves away.

It was not until everyone walked away that Li Zhen breathed a little relieved. Although the preparations were hasty this time, the effect was better than Dengfeng County. He just felt wronged Wu Youxu, and he had to rest for three or four days before he could return to normal.

.........

In the imperial study room, Wu Zetian was closing her eyes and pondering. She seemed to be making a difficult decision. Shangguan Wan'er stood aside with a nervous expression, pursing her lips tightly. She wanted to say another reason, but her lips only moved, but she could not say it.

"Do you think he is really OK?"

Wu Zetian finally spoke slowly, with a hint of suspicion, "He has no experience and no qualifications. Maybe he is good at riding and shooting, but this is the least important."

Wu Zetian stared at Shangguan Wan'er with sharp eyes, "Do you think he can really take up that position?"

"Wan'er also knows that his experience and qualifications are a little weaker, but Wan'er believes that he will be an excellent leader and he has this ability."

"He performed well today. I didn't say that he exposed the soul-lossing technique, but in other aspects, you understand what I meant."

"Wan'er understands!"

Wu Zetian stood up and walked a few steps with his hands behind his back. He pondered for a long time and said, "Ling Yue has already recommended one person, and I originally wanted the King of Liang to recommend the other person, but since you have praised his talents, I can also consider it. Let me think about it again and I will give you a reply in two days."

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Wan'er will leave first."

"Go!"

Shangguan Wan'er walked to the door, and Wu Zetian called her again, "There is also a fire in the Foguang Pavilion. Go and tell Wu Youxu that I don't want to pursue it anymore, so let him stop investigating it."

"Wan'er obeys the order!"

Shangguan Wan'er bowed and turned around and left quickly. Wu Zetian was the only one left in the room. Her face became gloomy and she snorted, "Come on!"

The door opened, and the eunuch Gao Yanfu walked in and stood with his hands down. Wu Zetian said coldly: "Go and tell Xue Huaiyi and let him go back to Baima Temple. When will the Foguang Pavilion be repaired and when will he be back!"

"Old slave obeys the order!"

Gao Yanfu walked out quickly, and Wu Zetian slowly sat down again, opened a volume of melody, but was thinking about Wei Shifang's affairs in his mind. This was no longer as simple as using fraud to fool the world.

.........

Although the fraud of Wei Shifang was successfully exposed, Li Zhen's affairs were not over. He had to write a detailed report on his trip to Songshan. This is also a difficult thing to explain about Wei Shifang's death.

In the room, Li Zhen was writing a report with his pen. Sometimes he stopped writing and pondered for a moment, and then lowered his head and wrote quickly, writing in detail about Wei Shifang's death.

Of course, he did not think that the process of saving Wang Qingyu was hidden and his relationship with Wang Qingyu was hidden.

At this time, the door opened, and Li Zhen heard footsteps coming from outside. When he turned around, he was a little eunuch. He thought it was Gao Lishi, but after closer inspection, he found that it was not, but a strange little eunuch.

"Mr. Gao Fu asked me to give you this!" The little eunuch handed a note timidly.

"Thank you!"

Li Zhen took the note, took out a Tochari gold coin and smiled and stuffed it to him, "This is for you!"

"Thank you!" The little eunuch was extremely excited, and he held the gold coins tightly, turned around and ran away.

Li Zhen opened Gao Yanfu's note, with only one sentence on it, "Come to my mansion at noon!"

.........

Gao Yanfu has the habit of taking a nap and almost every day he has to go home to take a nap. Even if he is preparing for the busiest moment of Wu Zetian's birthday, he will take a nap in the palace.

But today, Gao Yanfu did not have a lunch break for the first time, but met Li Zhen in his study.

“I’ve been too busy lately!”

Gao Yanfu smiled and said, "The Lord's birthday is coming again, less than a month. Although the Lord requires frugality, there are only so many things and nothing is missing, which makes me very busy."

Wu Zetian's true birthday was on the 23rd day of the first lunar month. Li Zhen also realized that the New Year was coming and there were five days left. He had not discussed with his sister how to celebrate the first New Year after they came to Luoyang.

Gao Yanfu found that Li Zhen was a little distracted, so he smiled and said, "Do you know why I came to you?"

Li Zhen came back to his senses and said apologetically: "I don't know!"

"Actually, there is nothing big. I haven't had a good talk with you after you were transferred to the throne of Qianniu. I don't think you are very clear about some things in the palace."

"What is Fujun referring to?"

"Do you understand what I mean, such as Wei Tuaner's power, Shangguan Sheren's opponent, and Xue Huaiyi's official connections?"

Li Zhen was silent. He understood Gao Yanfu's hint.

Gao Yanfu looked at him for a moment and smiled gently again, "You don't have to be nervous. You have done a good job so far. I just want to remind you that there are some things that should not just look at the surface."

"Mr. Please continue to speak, please listen carefully."

Gao Yanfu pondered for a while and asked, "Do you know why Shangguan Wan'er was eager to attack Wei Shifang?"
