The plan has been decided, and Qin Shaoyou is preparing to say goodbye.:.../

Empress Wei kept Qin Shaoyou and said, "Captain Qin, stay there."

This made Qin Shaoyou a little hesitant.

Because after hearing this, Wei Xuanzhen had already left obediently.

It was indeed inconvenient to stay here, but I saw Empress Wei sitting cross-legged on the couch and said lightly: "Captain Qin can play chess? You might as well play chess with me."

Sure enough, the palace maid next to him had already brought the chess ping, and Wei looked at Qin Shaoyou with a smile.

Qin Shaoyou suddenly felt his scalp numb. He didn't expect that Wei was so "not caring" about the popularity.

In fact, Wei did not care about the comments. There was a statement in the history of the Tang Dynasty: "At the beginning, Emperor You deposed, and made an appointment with the latter: "Once one day, he saw the sun of heaven, he would not control each other." So he played with Sansi Sheng on the imperial bed, and the emperor followed the other's scriptures and did not be offended." This sentence means that in the past, Li Xian was deposed. In order to appease the sad Wei, she made an agreement that if one day he could see the sun of heaven again, everyone would not restrain each other. Li Xian obviously did the same, so that later Li Xian became the emperor, Wei and Wu Sansi played chess on the imperial bed. Even if Li Xian was next to him, he would not care about it.

Of course... in fact, Li Xian may have been afraid to be in the heart. Even if Wei does anything, even if there is some ambiguity, Li Xian dares to be angry and dare not speak out.

But this was a dilemma for Qin Shaoyou. He was unwilling to offend Wei now, but he would never make any 'scandal'. After thinking about it, Qin Shaoyou smiled and said, "Is the Empress's opponent?"

Wei was beaten up and said lazyly, "Are you an opponent of me? Although I don't know, I know that you are afraid, but it's the truth. What are you afraid that I will eat you?"

There are many ambiguous things about these words. Qin Shaoyou knew that this would not be a solution, so he simply said: "There is still something for the officials, so he will take a step first."

Wei remained silent.

Qin Shaoyou hurriedly left.

After coming out of the hall, Qin Shaoyou finally breathed a sigh of relief in the afterglow of the scorching sun. No matter what, this matter was done. What we have to wait for next is natural.

He arrived at the middle gate and met Li Xian who had just returned to the house. When Li Xian saw him, he was stunned at first, immediately showed an angry look and shouted in a low voice: "Qin Shaoyou. What are you here to do?"

This sentence was really inexplicable. Qin Shaoyou was shocked at first. Could it be that this was the immortal who couldn't jump? When he came to see Wei, Li Xian arrived. What's the matter? But when Qin Shaoyou thought about it carefully, he felt that something was wrong, because Wei was asking for a meeting with him, and Li Xian was angry, probably because he saw Wei and told some of Li Xian's secrets.

Qin Shaoyou said, "Your Highness, the lower lord has some official business, so he met Concubine Wei with Duke Wei."

Li Xian's face looked a little better and said, "What business is involved in his beloved concubine?"

Qin Shaoyou had to tell him truthfully: "It is about His Highness Princess Taiping."

Li Xian understood immediately and said, "But you want to marry Wei Li?"

Qin Shaoyou nodded.

Li Xian immediately showed anger, but seemed to be unable to say anything. He just shook his head and said, "Oh, is this your Majesty's idea?"

Qin Shaoyou smiled unanimously.

Li Xian simply left with his hands behind his back.

Wu Zetian's condition has slowed down a little. However, as he gets older, his body suddenly becomes much worse after being sick, and he has gradually become sleepy recently.

It was noon on the sun. Wu Zetian woke up and then washed and combed her hair. Shangguan Wan'er took the time and came to report some state affairs.

Looking at the bronze mirror and looking at her growing old self, Wu Zetian's eyes were not sure whether it was sad or helpless, but she just sat silently. She was as if her shoulders were cut by a knife. Shangguan Wan'er stood behind her and whispered: "Your Majesty, I have something to report."

Wu Zetian's eyebrows and eyes only moved slightly.

Shangguan Wan'er said, "The Wei family submitted a memorial saying that it was Wei Xuanzhen's fourth son, Wei Li. Although he was not a young handsome man, he was also loyal and honest. He had long been interested in Princess Taiping. I hope that Your Majesty will never abandon him and marry Princess Taiping. If so, the Wei family will be grateful to the emperor and be happy."

Wu Zetian couldn't help but frown. He had never heard of the emperor giving marriage, but never heard of someone coming to propose marriage. However... the Wei family was so anxious... it seemed to be understandable. Recently, Wei Xuanzhen suddenly resigned, and the Wei family was in a panic and asked Princess Taiping to marry. It seemed reasonable.

This Wei family...

Wu Zetian frowned slightly.

In fact, she has never liked the Wei family, and there are various reasons here, but even Wu Zetian has to admit that the status of the Wei family is probably no longer under the two saints of her and the former Emperor Gaozong.

How could she not know his own son? He is weak and will be controlled sooner or later. However, the tough fourth son Li Dan and grandson Li Longji are actually the obstacles of Wu Zetian. Wu Zetian can never hand over the position of Emperor to such a person.

The Wei family... is obviously the star of tomorrow. Wu Zetian can almost imagine how powerful the power will expand after these people die.

Looking at the old self in the bronze mirror, Wu Zetian actually sighed. She said lightly: "Wan'er, you and Ling Yue have always known each other. I want to ask you, what would happen if you were me?"

Shangguan Wan'er opened her red lips, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I don't know."

Wu Zetian couldn't help but smile and said, "You don't know, but I know that I am only one woman now, and this daughter is actually the most like me among all the children. She, don't look at her being a little more playful, but she is actually the same person as me." Wu Zetian paused: "I want her to live a good life. Sometimes, I think that after a person dies, people turn into a pile of yellow earth. Why do you need to care about what's happening behind you? But sometimes, some things are ultimately unsuccessful. Everyone has their own blessings, and my blessings are almost gone, so... we should give the last blessing to Ling Yue."

Wu Zetian paused: "I heard that Wei Xi has always been loved by Wei Xuanzhen and Wei Concubine in the Wei family, and she is obedient to him. If such a person marrys a princess again, he will definitely have a bright future in the future, but... it is said that his character is average, right?"

Shangguan Wan'er said: "A few days ago, I heard that he was fighting with someone."

Wu Zetian pursed his lips contemptuously: "What's this? If you are a commoner, this is a great crime. Beheading your head and exile. But if this person is a royal relative, a first-class prince, not to mention fighting, even killing ten people, a hundred people, and a thousand people, is just a trivial matter. How could I not know that people never judge by their likes and dislikes. A person's most important thing is a noble and humble person. A son of a thousand gold, such a thing is just a flaw in white jade, and it's no big deal."

Wu Zetian seemed to have made a decision, and she said lightly: "It's just a little bit strange. My son is useless and is controlled by a woman like his father. Otherwise... why should I marry Ling Yue to the Wei family?"

When it comes to being controlled by a woman, Wu Zetian actually smiled. She seemed to remember the last emperor Gaozong. Perhaps, her mood for the last emperor was complicated, because this person had achieved himself and given himself everything, but to some extent, all of this was based on the weakness of this man.

Wu Zetian seemed to be tired again. Although she had just woken up, she felt a deep feeling of fatigue all over her body. She sighed and said, "People are under the eaves, and they have to bow their heads. I know this truth. Wan'er, do you know that I have bowed my head now? It's time. I didn't bow to the Wei family, but lost completely to this God. I... After all, I am still a mortal. Human life is always exhausted. This is the destiny of a man. When his body is at its peak, it will be weak. Now... I finally know that I am in my twilight years."

Wu Zetian squinted her eyes, and she sighed softly. The unruly and majesty in her eyes seemed to have been wiped out by the deep fatigue. She trembled slightly in her armor, and finally said seriously: "Go and draft the order. Do this quickly, don't delay."

Shangguan Wan'er couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, don't you ask Princess Taiping?"

Wu Zetian couldn't help laughing: "Ask her? Do you think I don't know? She ran to Mengjin every now and then. Although she said that it was for money and for business, no one knew her daughter better than her mother. I have seen through this pretext. She was full of money. But I knew that she was a sentimental person. She could not be sentimental, otherwise... would... she would kill herself. The most misleading thing in this world is these things. I asked her, what's the use?"

Shangguan Wan'er couldn't help but smile: "Your Majesty means that Your Highness is against Qin..."

Wu Zetian's face was calm and said, "Didn't you see it?"

Shangguan Wan'er couldn't help but panic and said hurriedly: "I didn't see it."

Wu Zetian looked sideways, but looked at her faintly and said, "You are not like this in normal times. You can't see it, do you know why? Because you are also a mystery to the authorities."

"Ah..." Shangguan Wan'er was so scared that she fell to the ground: "My...My..."

Wu Zetian said tiredly: "You don't need to explain anymore. I have said a long time ago... People cannot have feelings, they cannot have hearts. With hearts and feelings, they will fall apart, suffer hardships, and they will mislead themselves."
