Shangguan Wan'er quickly walked towards her official room, and her close maid Xiao E followed closely behind. She was surprised to find that the master was walking so lightly, which was a pleasure she had not had in a long time. Xiao E secretly guessed in her heart that the master must have encountered a happy event.

It is not an exaggeration to describe Shangguan Wan'er's mood at this moment. It has been nearly half a year since she transferred Sun Li away and was blocked by Xue Huaiyi in the appointment of the commander of the inner guard. Seeing Princess Taiping begin to master the inner guard bit by bit, why did she not be anxious?

Once this most powerful special guard is completely controlled by Princess Taiping, it will be her Shangguan Wan'er's nightmare, and her outside of the palace will be completely destroyed by Princess Taiping. Fortunately, she is properly employed, Li Zhen successfully eliminates Wei Shifang for her, eliminates Xue Huaiyi's obstacles, and she regains the power of the inner guard.

Although she only got half of the inner guard, she was also satisfied.

Shangguan Wan'er pushed the door and walked into her official room. Li Zhen and Zhao Qiuniang, who were sitting at the table talking, stood up together. Shangguan Wan'er held back the joy in her heart and smiled at the two of them, "Let's sit down and talk!"

"It seems that the servant is in a good mood!" Zhao Qiuniang asked with a tentative smile.

Shangguan Wan'er also sat down, Xiao'e gave them tea. Shangguan Wan'er glanced at Li Zhen meaningfully, "I think I should change the title."

Li Zhen couldn't help laughing, "I heard from the tone of the servant, it seems that I'm going to have something good to come to my house."

"Of course it's a good thing. Congratulations to you for promotion to deputy commander of the inner guard!"

This dramatic news made the room quiet suddenly, but the first thing that came to react was Zhao Qiuniang. She was mentally prepared. Shangguan Wan'er once revealed some news to her, and she immediately said excitedly: "Great, that damn Wan Guojun finally has an opponent!"

She was even more excited than Li Zhen. Thinking of Wan Guojun's pressing on her step by step, she was worried all day long. Now that Li Zhen is her boss, how could she not make her happy?

But for Li Zhen, the news came too suddenly. He was not mentally prepared. He had just become Wu Zetian's Qianniu for less than two months before he was promoted again, and he was actually the deputy commander of the inner guard.

He glanced at Shangguan Wan'er's expectant gaze and suddenly realized that this was what Shangguan Wan'er told him, an unexpected gain.

"What, don't you want to accept this position?" Shangguan Wan'er smiled gently.

Li Zhen immediately stood up, knelt down on one knee and said, "Li Zhen is willing to serve Shangguan Sheren!"

This is a necessary statement. Whether it is qualifications or experience, it is not his turn to this position. This is what Shangguan Wan'er strives for for him with all his might. In fact, it is also Shangguan Wan'er's position. He must have this understanding.

Shangguan Wan'er nodded with satisfaction. Li Zhen was her most capable general. She also needed to express something else. She got up and took out a sandalwood box from the drawer and handed it to Li Zhen. "This is a mansion that the emperor gave me last year. It is not large in size, only eight acres. I am in the Public Shanfang. Anyway, I don't need it, so I will give it to you! It's my gift."

Li Zhen was moved. He silently took the box, "Thank you for your care, Li Zhen will remember it in his heart."

Shangguan Wan'er smiled sweetly and said, "You have not joined the company yet, so you may have to take responsibility first. Qiu Niang has some trouble here, so you have to solve it for her."

"There is no limit to the responsibility!"

"Go! Go back and clean up, Qiu Niang will come to you soon. You will immediately go to Yanshi. No matter what, you must save the treasures. The Lord is waiting for them."

"I understand!"

Li Zhen bowed, nodded to Zhao Qiuniang again, and then left quickly. It was not until he walked away that Shangguan Wan'er smiled at Zhao Qiuniang and asked, "Do you think he is competent?"

Zhao Qiuniang said happily: "Although he is young, he has a careful thinking and decisive behavior. He is a rare talent. The servant must hold him tight, don't..."

"Don't be pulled over by Li Lingyue, right!" Shangguan Wan'er smiled faintly.

Zhao Qiuniang's face turned slightly red, "Sheren should know that if Princess Taiping likes someone, she will use any means to win over her. So far, she has never failed."

A trace of worry surged in Shangguan Wan'er's eyes. If the inner guard who had worked hard to fight for her after a lot of hardships was removed from the cauldron of Princess Taiping, she would be really angry.

"You have a good relationship with him. What do you think is his weakness or weakness?"

Zhao Qiuniang whispered: "His only relative is his eldest sister. He was pulled and raised by his eldest sister. If the servant worked hard on his eldest sister, I think he would be more grateful to the servant."

"You and I have come together!"

Shangguan Wan'er sighed and said, "In fact, I have taken care of his eldest sister's business. Of course, this is just a small favor and needs to be done. This is how you do your best to protect his eldest sister's safety. Help me, Qiu Niang, I will not treat you badly."

......

After coming out of Taichu Palace, Li Zhen felt that he was still in a dream. He was actually promoted to deputy commander of the inner guard. It was incredible, but this was the Wu Zetian era. As Jiuzhi said, the female emperor came to the rise of the sky, and one night could make you go to the underworld.

Li Zhen secretly warned himself not to be blinded by the sudden promotion.

After coming out of the Imperial City, Li Zhen rode a horse slowly on the Tianjin Bridge. There was a gorgeous carriage in front of him. From a distance, you could see it with gold-edged carriages. More than a dozen tall servants rode horse guards on both sides. At this time, the carriage stopped.

A intuition told Li Zhen that the carriage was waiting for him. Sure enough, when he slowly approached the carriage, the curtain was opened, but there was still a thin layer of gauze curtain. Behind the gauze curtain was a young lady with a high bun.

"Congratulations to Commander Li."

This title really made Li Zhen feel strange. This was the first person to call him "Commander Li", but this voice made him hear who was in the carriage.

He turned over and dismounted, walked up to bow and bowed, and said, "I am not good at ease, please see the princess!"

The veil was also opened, revealing a plump and fair face, with a slightly taller eyebrow bone, and a pair of long sword eyebrows inserted into her hair. It was Princess Taiping. This was the first time Li Zhen met her so close. She looked very much like her mother Wu Zetian, and her phoenix eyes were as sharp as Wu Zetian.

Although a smile appeared on her face, the strong coldness in her eyes still gave Li Zhen a chilling feeling.

"Is Commander Li free tonight?"

Princess Taiping tried to ask in a gentle tone that was unique to women: "I want to buy two glasses of light wine to celebrate the promotion of Chief Li."

Although this invitation is a bit abrupt, it is the usual style of Princess Taiping. With a high-level strength to command the men under her feet, there is no equality at all.

Li Zhen couldn't help feeling a little disgusted, just like he had disliked Wei Tuaner at the beginning. However, since he had been promoted, he should have the awareness of promotion and could no longer express his hatred on his face at will. He calmly replied: "Thank you for your kindness, I will set off in another hour, and I will not be in Luoyang these days."

"Oh! I forgot, you still have to escort the gold, okay, let's talk about it later! Commander Li takes care of himself all the way."

"Thank you Princess!"

"Set off!"

Princess Taiping ordered the carriage to start and slowly headed south. At this time, her voice came from afar, "President Li, please pay attention to the Hu monk on the road, huh! huh!"

The laughter gradually faded away, but Li Zhen did not set off. He was recalling Princess Taiping's last words, "Pay attention to the Hu monk on the road!" This was obviously an indication of him, be careful of Xue Huaiyi.

But the question is, hasn’t this Princess Taiping been colluding with Xue Huaiyi? Why did they start to undermine each other again?

Li Zhen faintly realized that there might be no alliance between Princess Taiping and Xue Huaiyi, but only used each other. Once the other party loses its value, he will abandon it without hesitation. It is not just Xue Huaiyi, but everyone is the same for Princess Taiping.

.........

In the carriage, Princess Taiping slowly closed her eyes. She suffered continuous setbacks in front of her mother these days. This is a situation she had never encountered in recent years. Until today, she completely defeated Shangguan Wan'er in the competition for inner guard. She learned from her mistakes and began to think about the reasons for her failure this time.

On the surface, it was because the Wei Shifang case that made Xue Huaiyi angry with his mother and temporarily lost his trust.

This situation often happened before, such as Xue Huaiyi and Wei Tuaner colluded with each other and attempted to assassinate Shangguan Wan'er in Dongshou. The mother was also very angry, but in the end she forgave Xue Huaiyi.

Xue Huaiyi himself is a villain in the market, arrogant, rude and unwise. He caused trouble again and again, but he was forgiven by his mother again and again, but this time it seemed different.

Princess Taiping finally realized that her mother's psychology had begun to change. In the past, she did not hesitate to create public opinion in order to compete for the throne and to hold the throne firmly.

At that time, Xue Huaiyi was her pioneer, shaking flags and shouting for her and creating the destiny of reincarnation of Maitreya for her. No matter how big the mistake Xue Huaiyi made, she could tolerate it.

But now it’s different. My mother has already firmly held the throne and no longer needs the so-called “destiny of heaven”. At this time, Xue Huaiyi made a big mistake again, which is a fatal impact on her throne.

For example, last year, Xue Huaiyi showed off his tyranny when he went to war and forced the dignified prime minister Li Dezhao to kowtow to him and begged for mercy, which caused an uproar in the court and the country.

This year, he arranged for the so-called real person in Songshan to use fraud to lure his mother into a trap, which made his mother confused and even appointed a alchemist as a counselor, and made the matter clear. As a result, he attracted the indignation of all officials. His mother had to remove Wei Shifang from his post a month later.

Now the fraud has been exposed. The real person in Songshan was actually a tool used by Xue Huaiyi to make money. Although Wei's liar is dead, the political harm caused to his mother by Xue Huaiyi is irreparable.

When Xue Huaiyi is no longer the cornerstone of the throne but becomes an obstacle to the imperial power, her always iron-blooded mother will eliminate him without hesitation.

Princess Taiping sighed softly. Xue Huaiyi was favored for ten years and had completed his mission. It was finally time to end.

Before, she didn't see this clearly, so she hit the walls in front of her mother and suffered repeated defeats.

Now that she has seen through it, how could she be used by Xue Huaiyi again and become his burial?

The carriage slowly stopped in front of Princess Taiping's mansion, and Princess Taiping immediately ordered: "Go and find Wan Guojun to see me!"

She got out of the carriage and walked quickly into the mansion surrounded by a group of maids. Her husband Wu Youji was about to go out. When she saw his wife coming back, she hurriedly bowed to greet her, "The princess is back home!"

Princess Taiping didn't look at him directly, but asked coldly: "I'm so late, are you going out?"

"The King of Liang organized a clan to discuss the New Year's clan festival and asked all clan members to go!"

Princess Taiping snorted and walked into the mansion without raising her eyelids. Wu Youji kept waiting for her to walk away, then wiped the sweat from her forehead and walked out of the mansion.
