Wei Chengqing arrived at the West Gate in the evening, where he welcomed Li Xian and Empress Wei who were rushing back in a hurry.

Because the light car is simple, there are only hundreds of guards and a few eunuchs around Li Xian and Empress Wei.

Wei Chengqing hurried forward and saluted: "I have met Your Majesty, I have met the Empress..."

Li Xian just nodded, he was still confused. When encountering such an accident, he was completely at a loss. However, along the way, Empress Wei kept comforting him, but even so, Li Xian's face was only slightly better.

"How is the situation?"

Wei Chengqing hurriedly reported: "I don't know what, I don't know. I only know that the emperor is seriously ill. The prince and his clan members rushed to Ziwei Palace to serve him. However, the news from the inside was that the emperor was in danger and his life was not long. The empress... Now the people of the country are suspicious and everyone is waiting for the news in the palace."

He deliberately aggravated the last sentence.

The so-called Chinese people are of course not the people.

In ancient times, the Chinese people had many important meanings. For example, during the Eastern and Western Zhou dynasties, the so-called Chinese people were quite similar to the citizens of European city-states at that time. They were the same tribe as the Zhou emperor, belonged to the nobles, and enjoyed many privileges. Most of them were surnamed Ji. In order to distinguish, other ordinary people were called savages.

Now Wei Chengqing did not talk about the people. The Chinese people he mentioned were naturally those officials and nobles. It means that because the emperor did not die in the end, many rumors have already spread, and the empress must deal with it carefully.

Wei Houzhe, today she was surprisingly calm, but turned around and said to Li Xian: "Your Majesty has just recovered from a serious illness. She is in a bad state. She slowly took the chariot to the palace. Now the situation is unclear. I am worried, so I will take a step first. Let's go and see my mother first."

Li Xian was in a state of lordship. He heard that Empress Wei wanted to go first, but he didn't know what to do for a while, so he had to nod in the end: "Okay... OK."

Wei Chengqing knew what Wu Zetian meant. She was anxious to confirm the news, but the emperor's chariot was slow after all, and Empress Wei couldn't wait.

So Wei Chengqing did not dissuade him and couldn't help but say, "Empress, I will enter the palace with you."

Queen Wei nodded.

Immediately afterwards, someone came to find a carriage. Queen Wei entered the carriage, and the rest of the people rode horses and roared towards the palace.

Along the way, Empress Wei was sitting here, with her eyes closed, like a rock.

There was no joy or anger on her face, like an iceberg. But when the carriage entered the palace and galloped in the palace, Queen Wei could feel the wheels of the carriage began to roll on the floor tiles in the palace. She had just opened her eyes, Ziwei Palace... It seemed that she was about to arrive.

Outside Ziwei Palace, the imperial guards who received the news had surrounded the place. Of course, these imperial guards did not dare to enter Ziwei Palace, but just in case, they still did not dare to be careless.

When Wei Changming, the governor of the Yulin Guard, saw that Empress Wei arrived, rushed over quickly. He was fat and wearing a bright light armor. He looked quite funny and fell under the carriage: "I have seen the Empress."

Empress Wei did not need anyone to support her. She had already crawled out of the car and landed on the ground. She didn't look at Wei Changming, but she quickly walked into the palace.

Ziwei Palace is very quiet, so quiet that it is unreasonable.

Only a few imperial doctors waiting outside were whispering to each other. After seeing Wei, Empress Wei waved her hand: "No need to be polite."

Wei Chengqing hurriedly caught up.

Wei Chengqing couldn't help but say, "Empress, do you have something to tell the emperor? Should I avoid it?"

Queen Wei looked at him deeply and couldn't help but feel that Wei Chengqing was very sensible.

But she just smiled faintly: "One more person is good, you can accompany you."

Wei Chengqing nodded and followed Empress Wei silently.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

In the bedroom, it is terrible and quiet.

Sandalwood lingered, and the quilt was raised high on the huge ivory bed.

When Empress Wei walked into the bedroom, even though she had thought of such a scene countless times, her heart still started to beating, getting faster and faster.

I waited for this day, and waited for too long.

Empress Wei actually found that the corners of her eyes were blurred.

She took a deep breath, and a trace of murderous intent flashed through her eyes.

No matter what, at this point, the merits have finally been fulfilled.

She slowly walked to the bed, and Wu Zetian was dying on the bed.

Empress Wei hooked her fingers, Wei Chengqing understood and quickly moved a stool. Empress Wei sat down opposite the bed. She looked at Wu Zetian with her head full of hair in a flash. She was so familiar with this woman.

Even she could count every wrinkle on Wu Zetian's face clearly.

She saw all these things and remembered them in her heart.

"Your Majesty... is it better?" Wei Hou said word by word. There was no respect in her tone, and even... she never saw a slight hypocrisy.

"Ahem... Weilan?" Wu Zetian whispered.

Weilan is the real name of Empress Wei. This name has been called for too long and for too long.

Empress Wei's lips curled up slightly, and a smile appeared: "I'm sorry, my mother, I still remember my concubine's name."

"Of course I remember, why can't I remember? I'm in bad health, but I'm not confused yet." Wu Zetian said weakly.

Empress Wei slowly said: "Of course the Queen Mother is not confused. I guess... it is because the Queen Mother is too smart and should know the purpose of her son's minister."

At this time, Wu Zetian finally turned her head and looked at Wei Hou: "I want to come? I thought you were here to visit me."

"No." Empress Wei suddenly gritted her teeth and showed a fierce light: "I am here for Your Majesty. Your Majesty... You have lived for too long and long. I have only heard that evil people will be punished by evil people, but I have been thinking about why... why... why did this retribution not be applied to the mother, Queen Mother... Ha... Now... this retribution has finally come, although it is a little late."

Wu Zetian was actually very calm. She seemed to be listening to Empress Wei.

After a long time, Wu Zetian said: "Crown Prince Yide yin chased the palace and formed a clique privately. He should have died. I ordered someone to execute him, and there is nothing wrong with it."

Hearing the four words of Prince Yide, Empress Wei's body trembled. She glared at Wu Zetian fiercely and said sternly: "Stop talking, who he is. It doesn't matter. What's important is that she is my son, the flesh and blood of my relatives. I... I have only such a son, don't you know?"

Empress Wei smiled grimly: "Of course you know, that's why you want to execute him. This is you, ruthless and unrighteous, and even your grandson is unwilling to let go."

Wu Zetian was not influenced by her words. Wu Zetian suddenly said, "You are not the emperor."

"What..." Empress Wei was stunned for a moment. She couldn't think of what Wu Zetian said and what she said just now.

Wu Zetian said lightly: "You have never been the emperor. Of course, I don't know that if a person becomes the emperor, he will no longer have seven emotions and six desires. In the world, there are so many subjects, these people... are your sons, my children and grandchildren, and there are too many. Why do you care about... a grandson? You don't understand at all, because you are not the emperor. Although you resent me, I know. But... no matter what decisions and any thoughts I make, I will not consider whether these are beneficial to me, but... In fact, I still know that you have always wanted to imitate me, but you are still wrong. You can never imitate. This is not because you are not cruel enough, not determined enough, or decisive enough, but because... you are still just a woman, a woman. A woman cannot accomplish anything, and you are still a little short of time."

"You..." Empress Wei glared at Wu Zetian fiercely: "Is that true? But now, it is not me who is not long-lasting, but you, the evil woman. But now... I am the winner, and you are just a loser. The winner is the king, and the loser is the bandit. Haha... A prisoner under the ranks and a dying person are also qualified to say such things to me?"

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

silence……

Silence fell into the bedroom.

Wei Chengqing just stood aside, and he remained silent, as if the matter here was irrelevant to him.

Of course he knew that Empress Wei had too many things to say today, and he was just an audience, that's all.

At this time, he listened to Wu Zetian: "You are so good at calculating that you actually bribed Prince Li Chongjun and asked him to attack me. Doing so will not only allow Li Chongjun to be at your mercy from now on, but also... you can also kill me. It can be said that you kill two birds with one stone."

"Where..." Empress Wei smiled grimly: "This is what my son learned from his mother."

"Even if I die today, the prince proves that I died of illness. I am afraid... even if people in the world have doubts, they would not have thought that all this was your conspiracy."

Empress Wei thought that Wu Zetian would be a little panicked at this time, but she still thought it wrong. Wu Zetian is surprisingly calm now. She explained slowly, as if she was talking about other people's affairs.

Empress Wei was a little disappointed, just like a man who had tried his best, but he punched him on the cotton.

Queen Wei said coldly: "Yes, Your Majesty... finally figured it out now, but it's a pity... all of this is too late."

"Is it late?" Wu Zetian smiled: "It seems not too late."

"What?" A trace of coldness flashed through Queen Wei's eyes.

Wei Chengqing couldn't help but look up in shock.

Wu Zetian suddenly sat up.

Her presence together scared Empress Wei and Wei Chengqing.

Wu Zetian stood up slowly and suddenly smiled: "How could it be late? And... I didn't think it through now, but I had already figured it out. You asked the prince to come forward and wanted to poison me, but you forgot one thing. You always thought that in my eyes, the prince is my grandson, and I shouldn't doubt anything, so... he has the chance to poison. So... you are a woman after all, you don't understand at all. I am the emperor. The emperor treats people with ruthlessness and ruthlessness. I will not believe anyone or anything. Even this person may be his own flesh and blood.

It was my grandson, who was connected with my own bloodline. He sent me medicine, how could I take it easily? All this... is just a trick. I just want to know, if I pretended to take those medicines and then became seriously ill, what would happen next? Oh... Everything was as expected. As expected... you have nothing outstanding, even conspiracy, and they were so scheming. Weilan, are you here to humiliate me? But... you still disappointed you. You can't humiliate me. You always want to imitate me. In fact, you will always be a toddler in Handan and can't learn it."

Empress Wei couldn't help but take a step back.

Wei Chengqing also felt something was wrong, and his face looked like a mortal.

Miscalculated.

It seems that everything has been miscalculated.

In this way, everything is Wu Zetian pretended, everything... is just...

Whether it was Empress Wei or Wei Chengqing, they felt that they were a little stupid at this time. When they were proud and thought they were calculating, they never thought that... it turned out that... it was just a matter of other people's calculations.

Empress Wei's face turned pale, and she was extremely embarrassed and angry.

She suddenly gritted her teeth and said with a grim smile: "Ha...hehe... the mother is indeed wise. It's not as good as the son minister, but indeed not as good as the son minister. How could the son minister easily believe that a little Li Chongjun can make you fall into a trap. It's not bad... the son minister is indeed a mistake, a mistake..."

She sighed a few times, but suddenly burst into laughter: "But... you forgot something. This harem is the master of this palace. Whoever I let me die will die. Whoever I want to live, she can live, Mother... Anyway... there have been rumors outside that Mother is seriously ill and is in danger. Since that's the case... Then... the son minister doesn't mind using other methods to send Mother's mother for a journey. Mother's mother... You certainly have a thousand plans, but what's the use? You don't understand at all. Now you are just an old woman in Ziwei Palace, a useless person. Your life is already in the hands of my palace. It seems... you really don't understand at all."
