After a while, the candle lit up again. Shangguan Wan'er tidied up her messy hair, her face was still red. She pulled Li Zhen down, poured him a cup of tea, sat next to him, and directly rested her head on his shoulder, relaxed with satisfaction, and whispered in his ear: "You are so powerful, once she tastes the taste, she probably won't let it go (you."

Li Zhen was very upset. He inserted his hands into his hair and said extremely depressedly: "What do you think you should do? I don't want to be her male favorite."

Shangguan Wan'er's eyes were flowing and she said to him softly: "I thought she had forgotten you, but she didn't expect that she had never forgotten. Her personal palace maid told me that she had fallen in love with you as early as the last time Qiuzhao. It was just because of me that she did not attack you. Recently, something happened to Chen Nanmu. She was lonely and began to fall in love with you again. Otherwise, how could she give you the Royal Villa?"

Li Zhen nodded, "I feel it too."

Shangguan Wan'er stroked her face and said softly: "I can only protect you for a while, and I may not be able to protect you in the future. The best way is to get married quickly! After all, she is a person who wants shamelessness and will not touch the son-in-law of the Prime Minister of Di, but you probably will fall out of favor."

"I don't care. If possible, I would rather not have this official position and flee back to Dunhuang."

"Stop saying such stupid words!"

Shangguan Wan'er shook her head and smiled, "Let me listen to me and marry Miss Di as soon as possible! She is deeply in love with you and is your good match."

Li Zhen didn't expect that she would persuade him to marry Di Yan. He couldn't suppress his affection in his heart. He hugged her in his arms and whispered: "You should marry me too!"

A complex expression burst out in Shangguan Wan'er's eyes. After a while, she gently pushed Li Zhen away, stood up and walked slowly to the window. She stared at the bright moon outside the window and whispered: "Azhen, I like you very much. If I were an ordinary woman, I would definitely marry you, but I have to tell you the truth. Between you and power, I love the latter more. Without you, I would still be well, but without power, I can't live a day. Do you understand?"

"I understand!"

Li Zhen nodded and said, "I am very happy that you can be so honest."

Shangguan Wan'er sighed again, "The Lord once asked me to marry Wu Sansi, but I told her that I will never marry again in my life, so she will no longer force me. If I marry you, she will not let me go first, nor will she let you go."

At this moment, the voice of the maid Xiao E came from outside the door, "Master, Eunuch Ma is here to pass the message and ask General Li to go to the imperial study room to see him."

Li Zhen was stunned. Could it be that Wu Zetian still refused to let him go? He looked at Shangguan Wan'er worriedly, and Shangguan Wan'er smiled and said, "Don't worry! She is no longer in the mood today, she should be looking for you for serious business."

Li Zhen stood up, stepped forward and hugged Shangguan Wan'er in his arms, kissed her red lips heavily, turned around and left Shangguan Wan'er's face. Shangguan Wan'er looked at him away with intoxication. After a while, she sighed softly.

Li Zhen followed the eunuch to the Zhenguan Palace nervously. Although Shangguan Wan'er told him that Wu Zetian was no longer in the mood, the king's heart was unpredictable, especially the old woman's mood was even more difficult to measure. If Wu Zetian had no interest in herself tonight, what would she summon her to do?

But at this point, he could not break out of Yingtian Gate again, so he had to bite the bullet and follow the eunuch to the imperial study room. The eunuch waved his hand and asked him to stop, "General Li waited for our family to come in and report to the emperor."

The eunuch walked into the imperial study room and came out for a moment and said to Li Zhen: "General Li, the emperor promises you to come in!"

Li Zhen suppressed his inner tension and walked into the imperial study room. Compared with the dim candlelight of Shangguan Wan'er in the room, Wu Zetian's imperial study room was particularly bright, even a little dazzling, making Li Zhen see Wu Sansi standing against the wall at a glance. He saw Wu Sansi's face pale, his expression was trembling, and he lowered his head and ignored his coming in.

Li Zhen's heart hanging in the air suddenly fell. He had a good impression of Wu Sansi for the first time. How appropriate was Wu Sansi appearing in the imperial study room at this time.

Li Zhen then saw Wu Zetian again. The expression on Wu Zetian's face made him feel further. Wu Zetian was full of anger and paced back and forth with his hands behind his back. Li Zhen hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, "My minister Li Zhen, please see Your Majesty!"

Wu Zetian ignored him. She angrily said to Gao Yanfu at the door: "This news must be strictly blocked. Anyone who dares to talk about this in the palace will be executed!"

"Old slave obeys the order!"

Gao Yanfu bowed and immediately retreated. Then Wu Zetian said to Li Zhen: "General Li, please get up!"

Wu Zetian originally planned to be lucky to visit Li Zhen tonight, and there was a place to rest in her imperial study. Sometimes she dealt with court affairs too late and was tired. She spent the night in the imperial study. So once Li Zhen entered the imperial study tonight, she could only leave tomorrow morning or even noon.

But just now, when Li Zhen followed Gao Yanfu into the imperial city, Shangguan Wan'er urgently reported to her that Wu Chengsi from Guangzhou was just a substitute, and the real Wu Chengsi was no longer there and might have fled back to the capital. This news made Wu Zetian furious. She immediately lost her temper and immediately ordered someone to find Wu Sansi.

Although Wu Sansi denied that he was unaware of it, Wu Zetian, who was blinded by anger, scolded Wu Sansi fiercely. At this time, Li Zhen had already entered the imperial study room. Wu Zetian still had anger and still pointed at Wu Sansi and scolded him: "When will you be more arrogant to me? They are all stupid and incompetent, and they are all masters in their daily lives, but they can't do any serious things well. How can I trust you and give you the big things? If you don't manage your family well, you can also get out to Guangzhou for me!"

Wu Sansi was so scared that he didn't dare to say anything. In fact, he felt very wronged. What's the matter with Wu Chengsi's escape from him? If he knew that Wu Chengsi would escape from him, he wouldn't let Wu Chengsi go first, and would he scold him with the priest?

Although she felt wronged, Wu Sansi did not dare to explain, so she had to bite the bullet and be scolded. At this time, Wu Zetian was also a little tired. She sat down tiredly and looked at Li Zhen. She was waiting for Li Zhen to come with anticipation, and she also took a bath incense, but she was in a bad mood at this time and had no interest at all. She summoned Li Zhen over and made other arrangements.

"General Li, Wu Chengsi is no longer in Guangzhou, do you know?"

Li Zhen's heart was beating. How could he not know? Last night, he and Di Yan saw Wu Chengsi. He bit his lip and secretly warned himself not to reveal his mouth. He bowed and said, "Report to Your Majesty, I don't know!"

"You probably don't know, but I suspect he is lurking in the capital. You find him for me and capture him to see me!"

Li Zhen seemed to have caught a life-saving straw. As long as he had a task, he could leave the capital. He quickly responded: "I will definitely not disappoint Your Majesty."

At this time, Wu Zetian felt extremely tired physically and mentally, and she waved her hand, "You all retreat! I'm going to rest."

Li Zhen and Wu Sansi quickly retreated. At this time, Wu Zetian suddenly shouted in a low voice: "General Li!"

Li Zhen's heart jumped violently. He stopped but did not dare to look up. Wu Zetian walked forward slowly, reached out and lifted his chin. His phoenix eyes stared at him for a moment, and slowly approached him. Li Zhen felt the heat in her body. His muscles were tense and became stiffer than wood. Wu Zetian actually kissed him on the face, giggling like an old hen, "Are you nervous?"

Li Zhen nodded, and Wu Zetian frowned slightly again, "Have you drunk?"

"Tonight, Neiwei celebrated the expansion of the army, and Weichen drank a little too much."

"No wonder I smelled alcohol all over, and it seemed to have a little bit of powdery spirit."

Li Zhen dared not say that he had just come out from Shangguan Wan'er, and quickly explained: "There is a Hu Ji serving him during the meal."

Wu Zetian was about to take him to take him to a bath, but she remembered Wu Chengsi's incident and felt a sudden boredom in her heart. The slightest sense that had just risen disappeared, so she waved her hand and said, "Go! Don't drink alcohol in the next few days, don't look for women, do your best for me."

Li Zhen felt relieved and hurriedly retreated. As soon as he left the imperial study room, he ran wildly outside the palace. Seeing that he was embarrassed, several palace maids couldn't help but cover their mouths and laughed.

Li Zhen ran down the steps in one breath, then stopped, bent down and let out a long sigh. At this time, Wu Sansi's flattering laughter came from beside him, "General Li, congratulations!"

Li Zhen turned around and saw Wu Sansi slowly walking out of the shadow next to him, smiling all over his face. He probably heard a little wind and wanted to please him. Li Zhen felt disgusted and said coldly: "I don't understand what the prince means, why am I happy?"

"What a pity! Today, the emperor was in a bad mood, so you didn't realize the feeling of falling pies in the world. I guess General Li will know tomorrow. I want to congratulate General Li in advance."

"The prince is thinking too much."

Li Zhen didn't want to pay attention to him anymore and walked quickly towards Yingtianmen. Wu Sansi hurriedly followed him and whispered: "I don't know where General Li is going to start? I'm talking about Wu Chengsi."

"I don't know either, so I'll send someone to inquire about it first!"

Wu Sansi said again: "If General Li finds out his whereabouts, can he tell me first?"

Li Zhen stopped and glanced at Wu Sansi, "Your Majesty will say it clearly if you have something to do."

"Then I'll just say it. Wu Chengsi assassinated the general several times, and he was extremely disrespectful to me. He had sent someone to assassinate me. He was the common enemy of both of us. It would be better for us to join forces to deal with him and not give him a chance to turn the tables."

Li Zhen pondered for a moment, "Your Majesty is serious?"

"No joke."

"Then the prince, please give me a token, so that I don't worry about the prince's words."

Of course, Wu Sansi would not write any written guarantees. He was actually an extremely cunning person. Working with Li Zhen to deal with Wu Chengsi was just his temporary intention, or it was just an excuse for him, because he learned that the emperor had a crush on Li Zhen, and just now, he heard that the emperor wanted Li Zhen to stay with him with his own ears, so he thought about how to ease the conflict between them so as not to Li Zhen retain his grudge.

So joining forces to deal with Wu Chengsi is the best opportunity. Wu Sansi is eager to please Li Zhen, and immediately took off the jade pendant from his waist, presented it to Li Zhen with both hands, and said with a flattering smile: "Use this jade pendant as a token to show my sincerity."

Li Zhen snatched the jade pendant, turned around and left. Wu Sansi looked at Li Zhen walking away, and was envious in his heart. How great it would be if he was not the priest's nephew.

Li Zhen borrowed one from the Inner Guard Office and ran all the way. Soon after, he rushed back to the Inner Guard Office. He turned over and dismounted, walked into the gate quickly, shouted sternly: "Come here!"

Several soldiers on duty rushed over, and Li Zhen ordered them: "Go and find General Zhao Lang quickly and say there is an urgent task!"

Several soldiers rushed away. At this time, Li Pan, the on-duty captain, also came over when he heard the news. Seeing that Li Zhen was impatient, he asked in surprise: "General, what happened?"

"Nothing, I received an emergency mission."

Li Zhen walked into his official room upset and paced back and forth in the room. He remembered what Wu Zetian said to him, asking him not to drink or look for women in the next two days. Obviously, tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, he will be doomed. What should he do? Should he learn from Chen Nanmiao and leave!
