The next morning, the matter of offering relics in the Wanxiang Temple caused a sensation. It was not the relics themselves, but two Maitreya relics appeared.

The emperor's heir Li Dan presented a Maitreya relic to her mother, the Holy Emperor Wu Zetian, as a birthday gift.

At the same time, King Wu Chengsi of Wei also presented a Maitreya relic to Emperor Wu Zetian as a birthday gift.

Moreover, both relics are from Tochar, and the condoms are exactly the same, causing a sensation in the court. These two relics must be true and false. So who is the real relics?

The civil and military officials in the court were talking a lot, and this matter quickly replaced Di Renjie's case of offering poison, becoming the focus of attention of the government and the public.

In the bedroom, Wei Tuaner was combing Wu Zetian's hair carefully, and said with a smile: "I am still betting with the official today, which relic letter is true, we have staked five jin of money!"

She said while paying attention to the changes in Wu Zetian's expression. Any subtle changes could not escape her eyes.

A hint of anger flashed in Wu Zetian's eyes, and then disappeared again. He asked with a faint smile: "Whose relics are you betting on are real?"

"The great official escorted the King of Wei first, so the servant had to take the imperial heir."

"Do you all think King Wei is true?"

Wu Zetian turned around, glanced at Xue Huaiyi standing beside him, and smiled with a smile: "Why did the Grand Official decide that King Wei is true?"

Xue Huaiyi had a strong figure, a big nose, a leopard head, and a man's wildness all over his body. He laughed and said, "It's very simple. The royal heir can't leave the Eastern Palace. If he believes what others give him, he may not even know the truth or false."

"Oh? Does that official know who gave him the relics?"

"Who knows?"

Xue Huaiyi pretended to be careless and said, "Maybe it was a foreign minister! Anyway, I heard that he often had private contact with foreign ministers, so it was normal for him to get relics!"

Wu Zetian smiled and asked Shangguan Wan'er who was standing at the door again, "Wan'er, you should know some news!"

Shangguan Wan'er stepped forward and bowed: "Wan'er reads the imperial heir's book of offering relics. It seems that the Prince of Shouchun sent someone to Tochar to offer it to the imperial heir."

Prince Li Chengqi of Shouchun County is the eldest son of the imperial heir Li Dan. He is seventeen years old this year and has opened a government office and can make friends with foreign ministers.

Li Dan, who lives in the Eastern Palace, absolutely does not allow him to make friends with foreign ministers, so what Xue Huaiyi said just now is actually implying that Li Dan is guilty.

Wu Zetian seemed to be unconscious, and she nodded, "Since that's the case, let's open the two boxes of relics together, so that we can directly identify the true or false."

"Wan'er obeys the order!" Shangguan Wan'er bowed and turned around.

At this time, Wu Zetian glanced at Xue Huaiyi's strong chest again, and her heart began to ripple. She asked, "When is it now?"

The reason why Wei Tuaner is favored is that she knows Wu Zetian’s thoughts too much. When she combs Wu Zetian’s hair, she feels hot when she touches her earlobe.

Now that I asked Shichen again, Wei Tuaner immediately knew her true feelings and laughed softly, "It's still early before the time to go to court, why don't the emperor rest for a while?"

Wu Zetian laughed, "You bad girl, okay! I'll listen to your advice and take a rest."

Her breathtaking eyes were given to Xue Huaiyi. Xue Huaiyi understood and immediately stepped forward and knelt down on one knee, "The little monk would like to preach Zen to the emperor!"

Wu Zetian put one hand on his shoulder, and his eyes were filled with spring feelings, "Then I will listen to the Zen talks about monk Huaiyi again!"

She helped Xue Huaiyi and slowly walked into a small garden in the middle of the bedroom. Wei Tuaner quickly ordered the palace maid to retreat. She stood at the door and served the emperor and the great official from afar to practice meditation.

The drum sound outside the bedroom was ringing, covering up the sound of a certain sound, but the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace knew exactly what the drum sound meant during the day.

The palace maids lowered their heads, and many guards were also uneasy. No one dared to walk around anymore, so they knelt down one after another.

.........

The romantic incident in Taichu Palace did not alarm the court officials in the Wanxiang Temple. At this time, Li Dezhao, Su Weidao and other prime ministers were leading the ministers to look at the two relics sets placed on the Qilin White Jade Table in the lower hall.

Everyone was talking about it, of course there was only one relic, so who was true and who was fake made them full of curiosity. However, contrary to the bet of the inner palace, most court officials hoped that the King of Wei was fake.

King Wu Chengsi of Wei was really uneasy. He never dreamed that Li Dan would take out a relic, and even the condom of the relic was exactly the same as his relic.

It turned out that there were two relics, one true and one false. It was not until this time that Wu Chengsi vaguely felt that he might have been deceived by Wu Shun.

Wu Shun must have concealed a lot of things from him. Wu Chengsi wanted to crush Wu Shun's bones and put them into ashes, but he was resentful and resentful. How should he pass this hurdle in front of him? Giving fake relics is a crime of deceiving the king.

Wu Chengsi still had a glimmer of hope in his heart, that is, his relics were real and Li Dan's relics were fake.

At this moment, several guards shouted outside the lobby: "His Majesty the Holy Emperor is here!"

The court officials returned to the team and bowed to welcome the arrival of Emperor Wu Zetian of the Tang Dynasty. Amid the sound of rings and pendants, Wu Zetian, wearing a ochre golden dragon robe and a sky-sooth crown, slowly walked into the lower hall under the escorts of eight palace maids holding long-handled round fans and dozens of sword-wielding guards.

King Wu Sansi of Liang shouted loudly: "Welcome Your Majesty into the court!"

The court officials also shouted loudly: "Welcome Your Majesty to the court!"

Wu Zetian's face was rosy, and her spirit was refreshed, and she looked extremely delicate. She sat down on the dragon couch, and Shangguan Wan'er, the inner chamberman, stood on the side of her to serve the imperial edict. Wu Zetian glanced at the court officials and waved her hand and said, "Your dear friends are calm!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

At this time, Wu Zetian's eyes fell on the two relic sets on the white jade tables of Qilin in front of the jade steps.

At this time, the copper box outside the relic stool had been cut by the craftsman with special tools, and the gold coffin and silver coffin inside were placed into two jade boxes.

The two jade boxes are green and the other is white. The green jade boxes are relics presented by Wu Chengsi, and the white jade boxes are relics presented by Li Dan.

Wu Zetian nodded and said to Prime Minister Li Dezhao: "You can distinguish the relics!"

Li Dezhao shouted loudly: "Please enter the hall!"

Amid the melodious bells, two eminent monks from India, Bodhi Liuzhi and Baosiwei, held a staff in their hands and walked slowly into the hall. These two eminent monks in India have witnessed the relics of Xiao Adu Temple with their own eyes.

Two elderly monks bowed to Wu Zetian, "Long live my emperor, and I wish you a long life to the emperor!"

Wu Zetian smiled and said, "Please exempt the two monks from the courtesy. I would like to ask first, is it possible that both relics are true?"

Bodhi Liuzhi folded his hands and bowed and said, "There is only one Maitreya Bodhisattva relics in the small Atu Temple in Ayan City. I witnessed it with my own eyes ten years ago. If these two sets of letters come from the same place, then only one is true, or both are shadow relics."

"Okay! Distinguish the relics first."

Bodhi Liuzhi and Baosiwei, two eminent monks, were solemnly sitting at a white jade table. At this time, all the court officials approached the white jade table, with their necks growing deep. Even Wu Zetian could not control his curiosity and stood on the alchemy steps to watch.

The two monks carefully took out the golden coffin and silver coffin from the jade box, opened the silver coffin, and opened the golden coffin. Inside were two hollow ivory balls, which were fixed in the golden coffin. Through the hollow gap, the relics inside could be clearly seen.

At this time, Bodhi Liuzhi clasped his hands and said loudly: "Your Majesty, there are real relics in the white jade letter."

There was cheering in the hall, and the emperor's heir, Li Dan, was so excited that he knelt down and kowtowed to Wu Zetian repeatedly, "This is the birthday ceremony that my son has offered to His Majesty!"

Wu Zetian nodded and smiled, "I am deeply relieved that the emperor is so filial!"

Wu Zetian's eyes fell on the Qingyu Chamber again, and his face gradually became severe. At this time, countless pairs of eyes fell on another set of letters. Since the white jade Chamber is true, there is a problem in the Qingyu Chamber.

Wu Chengsi was sweating heavily, his legs were trembling, and his eyes were filled with despair. At this time, the monk Baosi combined his hands and said slowly: "Report to Your Majesty, there is a shadow relic in the green jade letter!"

The hall suddenly became silent. Wu Zetian snorted heavily and glared at Wu Chengsi, "Wu Chengsi, how dare you deceive the king and the emperor!"

Wu Chengsi's legs became weak, and he fell to the ground with a thump, kowtowed and cried, "Your Majesty, I really don't know whether it is true or not!"

Wu Sansi next to him also knelt down and pleaded, "Your Majesty, the copper box was originally sealed. If it was not opened, how could the King of Wei know whether it was true or not? He really wanted to pray for His Majesty to celebrate his birthday. I hope Your Majesty will spare him this time for his sincerity."

Wu Zetian was furious and said coldly: "It may be that he faked himself to deceive me!"

Wu Chengsi was so scared that he trembled all over and explained with tears in his eyes: "This is the one offered by Wu Shun, my fake son, and I was deceived by him."

"Where is this Wu Shun?" Wu Zetian looked at Wu Chengsi and asked.

"He...he has committed suicide because of his crime."

Wu Zetian was furious and ordered: "Boll him out with sticks!"

More than a dozen guards rushed forward and drove Wu Chengsi out of the hall with sticks. At this time, Wu Zetian's anger calmed down a little and said to the ministers: "Temporarily welcome the Maitreya relics into the White Horse Temple for worship. I will hold a grand relic welcoming ceremony!"

She said to Wu Sansi again: "The King of Liang is fully responsible for this matter."

Wu Sansi quickly saluted, "I obey the order!"

Wu Zetian waved her sleeves heavily and said, "Retreat!"

She stood up and walked towards the side hall. The ministers in the hall were talking about it, saying that the King of Wei was labeled as a deception of the king this time, and it would be difficult.

Wu Zetian rushed back to the bedroom angrily, and complex feelings burst out from her phoenix's eyes, making her feel uneasy.

At this time, Shangguan Wan'er winked at Xue Huaiyi, and Xue Huaiyi slowly stepped forward and knelt down, "I thank Your Majesty for sending the relics to the White Horse Temple for offering sacrifices."

Wu Zetian glanced at him, calmed down a little bit, and said, "I only hate Wu Chengsi for shirking responsibility, but actually pushed the matter to the fake again, which is extremely ridiculous."

Xue Huaiyi remembered Wang Daoyuan who was beaten to death by Wu Shun, and couldn't help but sneer: "Wu Chengsi is actually still cheating on His Majesty. Weichen heard that his fake was not committed suicide because of fear of guilt, but because he was killed."

Wu Zetian was stunned and asked again: "What's going on?"

"Your Majesty, I know that this matter is not simple. Wu Chengsi actually knew that the relics were fake, but he deliberately presented them to His Majesty. I am not sure about the specific incident. But I know that Wu Shun's murder was involved in the battle between two relics."

Xue Huaiyi killed two birds with one stone, not only to avenge Wu Shun's revenge for killing Wang Daoyuan, but also to make Li Dan's contribution to the relics be destroyed.

Wei Tuaner next to him was anxious and stepped forward to kneel down, "The King of Wei is His Majesty's nephew. It's too late to please His Majesty, so how could he do something to deceive the king? As King Liang said, the copper box was originally sealed, but if it was not cut open, how could he know the truth or falsehood? I hope Your Majesty thinks twice!"

Wu Zetian was not the one who could rub sand in her eyes. She did not listen to Wei Tuaner's plead, and waved her hand to let everyone retreat, and immediately ordered: "Let me come and see me!"

She paced back and forth in the room with her hands behind her back, her eyes filled with thoughts, but she didn't know what she was thinking?

After a moment, Lai Junchen hurriedly arrived and knelt down and said, "I, Lai Junchen, meet your Majesty!"

Wu Zetian said slowly: "How is Di Renjie's case progressing?"

"Report to Your Majesty, Di Renjie refused to admit that he poisoned Buddhist scriptures. I plan to retrieve the case the day after tomorrow, so be sure to get his confession!"

Wu Zetian said lightly: "This case is temporarily handed over to the Censor Zhou Yunyuan, so don't worry."

Lai Junchen was startled and was about to explain again, but Wu Zetian waved his hand, "I have decided, I will give you another thing."

Lai Junchen had no choice but to lower his head. Wu Zetian took a few steps with his hands behind his back, and lowered his voice and said to him: "I am very interested in the death of Wu Chengsi's fake son Wu Shun. I will give you ten days. Lai Jun must investigate this matter to the bottom of the truth."

"I obey the order!" Lai Junchen was really disappointed, and as a result, many of his plans were lost.
