Chapter 412: Wu Sansi must die
Although he promised Yang Wulian, Wang Ju felt even more uncomfortable.
The key to this matter seemed to be Wu Sansi, and Wu Sansi's thoughts... seemed to be self-evident.
Wu Zetian's "sickness" is getting worse and worse. When he talks nonsense, he has become more and more common, and even to the point of incoherence.
The old emperor seemed to have lost all his spirit and had already been wiped out by the disease. Ziwei Palace has always been extremely quiet, and no one who had come to visit before has come. Even some left-behind eunuchs seemed to have begun to alienate.
This is how people are, especially in the palace. Most of the people who stayed in the Luoyang Palace are old and weak. They were afraid of Wu Zetian in the past, but now they are mostly alienated.
Now the most popular one is Queen Wei, and there is only one person in the Wei family in the palace, that is Wei Zhengde. Therefore, there are naturally many people who are good at it.
The coldness of Ziwei Palace is like the moon tonight, desolate and cool. It seems that from a distance, you can see the lonely shadow of osmanthus, but there is no one on the side of the "oast tree".
When Shangguan Wan'er was midnight, she always had to carefully carry the lantern to visit the bedroom. Outside, there was a medical officer and a small eunuch, both leaning on the stone foundation and dozing with her head in her arms, and snoring sounds were heard.
Shangguan Wan'er tightened the fox fur cloak on her body, and quietly entered the hall like a phantom.
She hung the lantern on the hook on the wall. Wu Zetian was afraid of light at night, so the palace lantern had already been turned off. At this moment, the lantern's light shone in, as if it could not penetrate the depth and darkness, but it still brought a ray of light hazy.
Shangguan Wan'er walked through the curtain and saw that Wu Zetian was still sleeping soundly. As usual, she carefully tucked the quilt for Wu Zetian.
In the past year, Shangguan Wan'er has been in such a state of life. Although she is called "Appointment", she has no real "Appointment" anymore. In fact, she has become Wu Zetian's complete personal female official. There is no need to serve tea and water. However, when she wakes up early in the morning, she goes to the Mingtang to worship Buddha with Wu Zetian, and then she uses some simple and simple food. If Wu Zetian takes a nap, she will leave to read the book. At midnight, she will always come to take a look. This simple and ordinary life seems to have made her feel carefree, like a nun under the green lamp, with no color on her face.
She tucked the quilt and was about to turn away.
A low cough came from behind.
Shangguan Wan'er's shoulders trembled, and she was busy and turned around.
Under the faint light, she saw that Wu Zetian's eyes had already opened, and their eyes were still turbid, but it seemed that only when there was no one in this quiet and empty place could there be a majesty that could not be seen directly.
"The Emperor..." Shangguan Wan'er called softly.
"Well..." Wu Zetian nodded and struggled to sit up.
Shangguan Wan'er hurriedly stepped forward and added a mat for her.
Wu Zetian smiled, but there was no more illness. She said lightly: "What's the news outside?"
Shangguan Wan'er said: "Now Wei Zhengde has become more and more careful in his eyes and ears and ears in the palace..."
Speaking of this, Wu Zetian frowned and said disdainfully: "It is human nature to attract people, how could I not know?" She raised her eyes and looked at the quiet Shangguan Wan'er. However, the eyes in her eyes turned from the coldness at the beginning to tenderness.
Only when people are at their worst can they see the coldness of the world, but who says they can't see the true feelings in this world?
Shangguan Wan'er was almost promoted by Wu Zetian. Without Wu Zetian, there would be no Shangguan Wan'er's today.
And this girl, even in the most difficult times, was still loyal to herself. Just when everyone began to be fickle and began to be insincere, she was still following her, as if she was still the most powerful woman in the world.
At this point, his daughter Li Lingyue must have been blocked. Empress Wei would never dare to let Li Lingyue come to visit him. Therefore, the only person who has been with Wu Zetian in the past year was Shangguan Wan'er.
Shangguan Wan'er seemed to be unaware of Wu Zetian's words, but continued: "But I still inquired about some information. Your Majesty and Empress Wei have arrived in Chang'an, and Qin Shaoyou was appointed as the chief supervisor of Henan Prefecture, but... the prefect of Henan Prefecture is King Liang..."
Speaking of this... it seems that many things have been implied.
With Wu Zetian's intelligence, how could he not guess what the arrangement was behind this? But Wu Zetian was actually very calm. This kind of calmness seemed to be someone who was out of the matter. Qin Shaoyou was not her son-in-law, and Wu Sansi was not her nephew.
Wu Zetian seemed to be in the darkness and did not say a word.
Shangguan Wan'er naturally didn't dare to interrupt, but just waited quietly.
After a long time, Wu Zetian's eyes suddenly opened and said, "It seems... Wu Sansi is completely like Wei Shi. This person's nature... I actually knew it a long time ago. He is my nephew. How could I not see through it? This time, Empress Wei's plan to use Wu Sansi to control Qin Shaoyou. This... is indeed a good move, but Wei Shi has quite some means. As for Wu Sansi... he is a good chess piece, and he can't beat him or scold him. Qin Shaoyou this time, he is afraid that he will kick the iron plate."
Speaking of this, Wu Zetian sighed and looked very regretful, but she was not angry because of Wu Sansi's betrayal, as if all this was justified. She continued: "But... if this stumbling block cannot be moved, the Shence Mansion will undoubtedly die. In the past, the country was in Luoyang, and Qin Shaoyou could still rely on these more than 10,000 elite soldiers to make the court fear, but now the court has been thousands of miles away, and he... is just an isolated army. The Wei family in Chang'an still needs to stand firm now.
Heels, so there is no time to go to Qin Shaoyou. However, if this continues, Qin Shaoyou is trapped in Hongnong County and is controlled by Wu Sansi. The Wei family's power is a thousand miles a day, as soon as the Wei family finds an excuse, at that time, hundreds of thousands of troops will be in the forefront, and Wei Zhengde and Wu Sansi echo them. Qin Shaoyou will sooner or later become a prisoner. He demands life, and only by completely controlling Henan Prefecture, preparing for war and growing, otherwise, once this balance of power is broken, there will be no place to die."
"But..." Wu Zetian shook his head: "According to my opinion, it is not so easy to move Wu Sansi away. If you can't move, you will die. If you are too aggressive, you will die. You are in a dilemma. You really can't take care of each other."
Shangguan Wan'er couldn't help but say, "Maybe... he may not have a solution."
Wu Zetian's tone suddenly became firm: "Of course he has to have a way. If he has no way, would he have to let me pretend to be crazy and spend the rest of my life?" Speaking of this, Wu Zetian's expression was even more determined, saying word by word: "So Qin Shaoyou must get up from the mud. I don't care about how to play his chess, but he is the only one in my chessboard, otherwise... he is the whole plate. Wu Sansi..." Wu Zetian's expression became indifferent. She winked. Shangguan Wan'er knew it and was busy pouring tea for her. But she found that the tea on the side was a little cold. Just as she was about to change it, Wu Zetian shook her head and signaled that she didn't have to bother. Then she showed a hint of distress. Her body tilted backwards and closed her eyes. However, the last sentence still came from her mouth: "We must die!"
Shangguan Wan'er's shoulders trembled slightly, and she felt the murderous intent.
This kind of murderous intent is the most terrifying thing. Wu Sansi must die... is it because of his betrayal? Obviously... it's not... Shangguan Wan'er knew Wu Zetian so well. When Wu Zetian mentioned Wu Sansi's betrayal, there was no fluctuation on her face, as if everything was so ordinary. However, when talking about this move, she said these six words without hesitation, which means that in the eyes of the emperor, the reason why Wu Sansi must die was only because... he blocked the emperor's way.
A person will not have the idea of murder because of other people's betrayal or betrayal, but he can never be merciless because his nephew blocks his own footsteps. How cold and terrible a person is such a person...
Shangguan Wan'er sighed slightly. She was already the woman she was sleeping in. She had always been the object of her admiration and admiration, but she found that she still couldn't learn many things. Perhaps... some things were born. Wu Zetian should be born as the 195th Lord, and she...at most she should be a waiter... that's all.

Shangguan Wan'er tiptoed out of Ziwei Palace.
She didn't dare to look back because she seemed to have a feeling that the emperor was not sleeping, and was looking at his back with a gauze tent and curtains. So she carefully took off the lantern and left the hall. The medical officers and eunuchs who were ordered outside were finally alarmed. They rubbed their sleepy eyes and looked at Shangguan Wan'er, hurriedly asking for salute.
But... Shangguan Wan'er could no longer see the respect she used to respect on their bodies and faces.
This perfunctory attitude seemed to have already realized that the woman in the temple could no longer give them anything, so they were just coping and maintaining some due etiquette.
Shangguan Wan'er didn't care about this. She smiled sweetly. Her smile at this moment was as innocent as the spring peach blossoms blooming under the miserable moonlight. She whispered: "No need to be polite, take good care of the emperor."
