Chapter two hundred and seventy-eight;

Wu Zetian's health has become worse in recent days.

But for some reason, there were some rumors in the palace that it was because of Li Longji's capture of the sect and was frightened that night.

Shangguan Wan'er knew all these private rumors in the palace, but no one was willing to say them.

At your age, your body naturally cannot be lost. It is indeed because after the last time you grabbed the door, your body became more and more delicate. First, you were infected with wind and cold, and then you were sick one after another. Even when you were sleeping at night, the imperial doctor would have to stay in the side hall at night just in case.

Shangguan Wan'er arrived at Ziwei Palace as usual. The matter of the Attendant Room had been completely handled. She had to report. When she arrived here, she tiptoed in and saw the Prime Minister Li Dan. Li Dan came every few days ago, and the mother and son always had endless things to say.

At this time, Li Dan said: "My Queen, the problem of Jinwu Guard is the most serious. The imperial guard is still lazy. I found that there were soldiers on duty several times and they were having sex with people in the corner of the palace. My minister strictly prohibited it, but I still couldn't stop this evil spirit."

The fight scene has been around since the Zhou Dynasty, and there are records in history that the Zhou emperor once fought with his close ministers for three days. This so-called fight scene is nothing more than a game of winning or losing. To put it bluntly, it is actually a gambling game.

Wu Zetian seemed not concerned about this, but just shook his sleeves and said, "I also know the loose military discipline. When Emperor Gaozong was there, he had rectified it several times, and the effect was not very good. After all, the world is peaceful. I am old, so you can do this yourself."

Li Danhe nodded, and then said with great concern: "Mother, there is one more thing..."

Wu Zetian smiled and said, "You said that."

Li Dan seemed very hesitant and said, "Your Highness the Prince's body does not seem to be very good. Last time, I heard that he left the palace, I fainted. The prince is the foundation of the country. The queen should have ordered the imperial physician to see him and let him take good care of him. The son and the minister are brothers, and they are very worried about it."

Wu Zetian's body was stretched out, as if she was cheering up. She couldn't help but say, "Is there such a thing? Why is no one saying it?"

"I just fainted and it would be fine for a while. The minister was unwilling to say it, for fear that his mother would be worried, so he just thought about it. If he didn't say it, the prince's body was also important, so he went to a dilemma and had to speak out today."

Li Dan is in poor health, and there are two meanings here.

At least to Shangguan Wan'er, who was standing aside, there was a hidden meaning. The first meaning was naturally a brotherly friendship. However, after careful consideration, the left sentence inside was the prince's foundation, and the right sentence inside was carefully cared for, but it was quite harsh.

It is true that the prince is the foundation of the country. If the country is weak, it would be very bad. Therefore, throughout the dynasties, it has been taboo to establish young or sick people as crown princes, because they are afraid of the ups and downs of the regimes. As for maintenance, in theory, the prince Li Xian has nothing else to do. What can he do? Isn’t he recuperating every day? A person who does nothing suddenly says he needs to recuperate. That only means that this person must be indulging in fun and does not know how to control himself.

Of course... this is just Shangguan Wan'er's thoughts. But Li Dan said sincerely, and it didn't seem to be saying this. Shangguan Wan'er's eyes quietly looked at Wu Zetian, wanting to see if His Majesty could hear the implicit sound, but Wu Zetian just frowned slightly: "If this is the case, then you have to take a good look. The prince is usually silent and has always been in a closed door. I am also afraid that he will get sick. After saying this, you remind me, Wan'er, I will call a few imperial doctors to see later."

Shangguan Wan'er responded with the busyness.

Wu Zetian seemed quite worried: "The wedding of Taiping is close to you, so don't have any changes in the prince."

At present, the one Wu Zetian is most concerned about is the Princess Taiping.

As he was speaking, a eunuch came and said, "Your Majesty, the prince will meet you."

Wu Zetian picked up the teacup and asked for tea, and said with a smile: "I really mean Cao Cao is here, please come."

Li Xian dragged his fat body in. He saw Li Dan. Li Dan smiled at him. Li Xian hurriedly lowered his head and staggered his eyes. He didn't know why he faced this younger brother, so that he even forgot about saluting Wu Zetian.

So Wu Zetian coughed twice, and Li Xian realized something. He hurriedly said, "My son has seen the Queen Mother."

Wu Zetian smiled and said, "No need to be polite, sit down, I have heard of something."

The words before were fine, but the latter sentence scared Li Xian's face as pale as paper. He said aiqi: "My son is dead."

Wu Zetian couldn't help but say angrily: "I heard that you are in bad health, but are there any ones? I fainted at the palace gate a few days ago. Is this related to death?"

Li Xian was speechless and clumsy. He didn't know how to answer for a while, so he had to say timidly: "Yes, yes..."

He sat obediently behind the desk on one side, and Wu Zetian glanced at him, seemingly dissatisfied with him.

It is indeed difficult for people to be attracted to people. Apart from a son who died young, Wu Zetian only has three sons. Needless to say, the prince Li Hong was born in a romantic and elegant manner. He was praised by the court. He said that he was a talented person and would definitely be a good emperor in the future, but who knew that he was unexpectedly "suddenly". As for the fourth son Li Dan, although he could not match Li Hong, he was also eloquent and handsome. Only Li Xian was not only clumsy, but also obese, and was cautious in everything he did. It was hard to find a little shining point on his body.

Wu Zetian said, "Since you are sick, you should rest, but why did you come to see me?"

Li Xian said: "My Queen, I... I am thinking about the princess' marriage. I am really not in good health, but the doctor in the mansion has already said that this is because my son is usually stuck in the mansion. If he is depressed for a long time, he will be weak. Moreover, Ling Yue is the sister of the son. In the eyes of her marriage, it is a huge matter in the eyes of her son. So I want to ask for the imperial edict, so I will go to Mengjin to inspect the wedding and ask... I would like to ask for permission to... I would like to ask for permission to be approved by the mother."

This reason is obviously impeccable.

On the one hand, I am sick and need to go out to relax, but on the other hand, it is for my own girl.

Wu Zetian showed no expression, but a hint of surprise flashed through Li Dan's eyes beside him.

Is this brother going to Mengjin?

He is the dignified prince, how could he leave outside Luoyang easily?

And when he talked about this, he spoke clearly and had very sufficient reasons. Obviously, someone taught him behind his back.

In this way, all this may not be Li Xian’s thoughts, but someone is giving advice to Li Xian.

Who is this person?

Li Dan's eyes narrowed, and in fact Li Xian had already told him the answer. Li Xian was going to Mengjin, which was Qin Shaoyou's place, and the place of Tiance Mansion. The prince was of course not easy to take risks, but Li Xian was eager to go to Mengjin. It only shows that Li Xian was very relieved and trusting about Qin Shaoyou. The person behind him must be Qin Shaoyou.

Thinking of Qin Shaoyou, Li Dan's expression was very calm, and he seemed to have no awareness of losing his son.

However... this person seemed to be quite afraid of him, so his hand moved slightly, so he had to pretend to serve tea to cover up.

Of course, Qin Shaoyou is a person that cannot be ignored. If Tiance Mansion was not in Henan Mansion, but on Jiangnan West Road or Jiannan Road, perhaps such a person could be said to be unremarkable, but his Tiance Mansion was in Mengjin, which seemed to have a sharp sword that directly hit the throat of Luoyang. Moreover, this person was quite trusted by the Queen Mother and supported by tens of millions of financial resources. It can even be said that when anything happened in Luoyang, this person would become an important figure. The failure of Li Longji's rebellion was proof.

Now Qin Shaoyou encourages the prince to go to Mengjin, why?

Li Dan could almost imagine that all this was not that simple.

But he didn't say anything, just paying attention to the development of the situation.

Wu Zetian frowned and said lightly: "You have this thought, which shows the brother-sister relationship between you and Ling Yue. I am very pleased when I hear it. However, although Meng Jin is not far away, you are the prince after all..."

Li Xian said anxiously: "Mother Queen, Meng Jin is on the side of Luoyang, only dozens of miles away. Since I am my brother, how can I be indifferent to this matter? Besides, I heard that birds are singing and flowers are fragrant in Mengjin, so I want to go out to see it."

Wu Zetian smiled and said, "Okay, since that's the case, I have nothing to say. If you want to go, you will go. But your body is also important. Dan'er just mentioned your condition specifically, and he was very worried about you."

Li Xian had no choice but to say to Li Dan: "Thank you for your concern, my palace is not seriously injured."

Li Dan said with a smile: "If this is the case, it would be better."

The two of them were polite, and always made Shangguan Wan'er, who was watching him, feel strange. It was a strange thing for brothers to be so polite. Shangguan Wan'er couldn't help but go to see Wu Zetian, and she muttered even more in her heart, can't your Majesty see such obvious distantness? But why did your Majesty only look at comfort in his eyes?
