The night in Luoyang is always so enchanting and confusing.

After Wu Zetian officially ascended the throne and became emperor, he built several buildings here to build palaces and towers, adding a little feminine beauty to this already magnificent ancient capital.

Wu Zetian stood on the top floor of the Vientiane God Palace and overlooked the entire city.

Her face was smiling, her eyes were bright and energetic.

She likes the feeling of standing at the highest point of the Shendu, and then flying against the wind. At this moment, the whole world seemed to be crawling at her feet. When she opened her eyes, she could hear the voices of the sages of the ages and the Buddhas of the Nine Heavens. When she closed her eyes, she could think of the memory of Hou Fang for hundreds of lives. &∽∽∽∽∽∽∽∽∽∽∽∽p;

He ruled the world with great enthusiasm.

Wu Zetian now has all these two things that should not belong to women.

"Zhinu." Wu Zetian murmured alone at the void in front of her, "I didn't disappoint you."

"He didn't disappoint you either!"

After a moment.

Kudi walked behind Wu Zetian and whispered: "Your Majesty, Xuan Yunzi has arrived."

"Call her here."

When Xuan Yunzi came, he was still wearing a Taoist robe and holding a whisk in his hand, bowing his head and bowing.

"Come to me."

Xuan Yunzi walked to Wu Zetian.

"Are you doing well recently?"

"If you have any help, your Majesty will worry about it, I am very good."

Wu Zetian nodded with a smile, "Since you returned to China, you have been living in Zhongnan Mountain. I didn't want to disturb your cultivation. But now, I have to invite you to discuss an important matter with you."

Xuan Yunzi said calmly: "Your Majesty refers to the marriage between me and Mr. Xue?"

"Yes." Wu Zetian said, "If it weren't for the Tubo invasion, you should have gotten married long ago."

"I, follow your Majesty's arrangements." Xuan Yunzi answered calmly.

Wu Zetian frowned slightly, "I find that you have changed a lot since you returned from the Turks. Are you willing to talk to me about what kind of things you have experienced in the Turks?"

"Your Majesty, there is nothing to talk about." Xuan Yunzi said calmly, "It's just an ordinary tour, some simple experience."

"Didn't you deliberately go to Ai Yan?"

"Why did I go to find Ai Yan?"

Now she stopped Wu Zetian. She smiled and said, "Recently, I have heard some news."

"Since it is news, I believe Your Majesty will not pay attention to it." Xuan Yunzi said, "The rumors are only for the wise."

"You are a wise man." Wu Zetian was not blocked by Xuan Yunzi's words, and said the opposite, "So I want to verify from you."

Xuan Yunzi was silent for a moment, "Please speak with your Majesty."

"It is said that Ye Hu, the current Turkic Khanate, is Aiyan's son Krakus, is Xue Shao's biological son." Wu Zetian said, "Do you know any details about this?"

"Nothing." Xuan Yunzi answered simply and decisively.

Wu Zetian blinked, "I think so too."

"Your Majesty, do you want to ask something?" Xuan Yunzi said.

Wu Zetian said: "I want to know what you really think now. Are you really willing to marry Xue Shao?"

"Your Majesty, this is not important." Xuan Yunzi said calmly, "You have no jokes, and the marriage between me and Mr. Xue has long been known to everyone in the world."

Wu Zetian smiled slightly, "You are sensible."

"I actually understood the truth for a long time." Xuan Yunzi said, "I've been so extreme that I've been a little unwilling to accept it in my heart."

"Why are you unwilling to accept it?"

"I don't want me to never pursue my life from birth to old age and death, nor to show off my gloriousness." Xuan Yunzi said, "I like Mr. Xue from the bottom of my heart, not just out of the love between men and women. I envy him for having such a magnificent life and a vigorous and energetic passion. I actually hope that I am a man. In this way, I can follow him all my life, like Xue Chuyu, Guo Yuanzhen and others, and enjoy all kinds of feelings in the world."

"You are right." Wu Zetian smiled and nodded, "I was not arrogant when I was young, but I would be very pitiful when I was old. Because even the only memories will be pale and colorless."

"Now my wish is over." Xuan Yunzi smiled, "I can marry a wife with peace of mind, or be my Taoist nun with peace of mind."

"You still haven't answered my question directly." Wu Zetian blinked, "Let's say that, are you more inclined to marry Xue Shao, or are you more indulging in being your Taoist nun?"

Xuan Yunzi was silent for a moment, "Your Majesty, do you have to answer?"

Wu Zetian was also silent for a moment, "It must."

Xuan Yunzi smiled slightly, looked at the vast and colorful night sky of Shendu in front of him, and murmured: "If there is really a choice, I hope to be a confidant with him... for the rest of my life."

"In your opinion, is marriage not the best destination for love?" Wu Zetian asked, "You once said that you love him from the bottom of your heart."

"Yes. I don't deny it." Xuan Yunzi said, "Once upon a time, I tried to do anything that would be beneficial to him, hoping to touch his sincerity. But after experiencing many things, I believe that not all love in the world must end with possession. There are some people who really miss each other than meeting each other. Because, once they really live together, all the beauty will be shattered in reality, and even memories cannot survive. If they have never been together, they can gain true eternity in their nostalgia."

Wu Zetian had long forgotten what love was. But before experiencing the destruction and torture of reality and without choice, she was young, emotional, and fantasy.

Xuan Yunzi's words evoked Wu Zetian's infinite memories and leisure thoughts. At this time, she seemed to suddenly remember that I was also a woman.

"It's great to be young," she said.

"Your Majesty, I am no longer young." Xuan Yunzi said, "I am a little older than Princess Taiping."

"She is already the mother of four children." Wu Zetian smiled playfully, "But in my eyes, she will always be a daughter who will never grow up. So are you."

Xuan Yunzi smiled, "I have never thought of comparing it with His Highness Taiping."

"This may be a bit far-fetched." Wu Zetian said, "But your beauty, wisdom, open-mindedness and perseverance are rare in the world. Whenever I see you, I always involuntarily think of me when I was young. From many places, I feel like my biological daughter."

Xuan Yunzi had a strange smile on his face, and he was silent for a moment, and said, "I will not help but mention a past that will make His Majesty sad."

"Tell me, I'm in a good mood today."

Xuan Yunzi said, "I remember when I was young, I entered the palace and replaced Princess Taiping to practice Taoism. At that time, someone told me that my birthday and the death of Princess Andingsi, who died, were exactly the same month and day."

Wu Zetian's expression changed slightly, "Yes. I know."

Xuan Yunzi said: "At that time, there were rumors that I was the reincarnation of Princess Andingsi. Then God arranged for me to return to His Majesty again and recontinue the relationship between mother and daughter."

"..." Wu Zetian was silent and looked into the distance with a sad look.

Princess Andingsi, the daughter who died in her infancy... How could Wu Zetian not think of her?

"At that time, I was young, and I believed it very much." Xuan Yunzi smiled slightly and said, "I even suspected that I was the dead Princess Andingsi who died in the past. But I later figured out that my age was wrong. Princess Andingsi was about ten years older than me."

"Yes." Wu Zetian said, "You are the same age as Taiping, and Princess Andingsi is eleven years older than Taiping."

Xuan Yunzi turned his head and looked at Wu Zetian, looking directly at her.

Few people would look directly at the Queen, so Wu Zetian felt quite surprised and stared at her.

"Your Majesty, I want to ask..." Xuan Yunzi said, "Does Your Majesty's feelings be entrusted with some of His Majesty's feelings?"

Wu Zetian did not answer, but asked, "Where are you?"

"In my memory, I never looked like a mother." Xuan Yunzi said, "So after I first entered the palace and heard those rumors, I couldn't help but treat Your Majesty... as my mother. At that time, I was young and didn't know anything. I just longed to have a mother like others."

Wu Zetian narrowed his eyes slightly, his eyes became very sad, "I, have you disappointed?"

"Your Majesty, that's just my wishful thinking." Xuan Yunzi stared at Wu Zetian, his expression as if he was about to cry and smile. "I am always used to doing such wishful thinking..."

...

Dafeichuan.

All the crossbows were riding on the horse and looking at Xue Shao.

Xue Shao also rode a horse, and Xue Chuyu and Yao Yuanchong stood beside him. Lu Gongren was not seen.

"Shi Shuai. Let's leave here." Qi Nou Xi said.

This is the first sentence I said to Xue Shao. The representative of the court and the negotiations between the crossbows was Yao Yuanchong. Since he was captured, Xue Shao had never talked to him.

The meaning of the Great Zhou court was to release Zanpu and surrendered soldiers and return home, and the Great Zhou and Tubo were in harmony.

"Taip take care of yourself all the way." Xue Shao smiled and didn't say much.

"You are a hero of the world. Just like the former Garqinling." Qiqiu Xi said this, which was obviously heartbroken.

Xue Shao just smiled indifferently, "I will never be compared with Garqinling. There are many heroes in the Central Plains, and there are many famous ministers in the court. I am just an ordinary general, just fighting wars."

"Maybe one day, you will not be able to do so." Qi Nou Xi said, "A person like you is destined to change an era and write a piece of history."

"It's true that Zanpu said, then I've written it." Xue Shao said, "The moment is history."

"Yes, you won." Qi Nou Xi Nong said, "It's not just on the battlefield."

"If Tubo and the Great Zhou can live in peace from now on, we will be winners." Xue Shao said, "The war itself cannot prove anything. The ultimate goal of the war is to be peace."

The crossbow Xi Nong took a deep breath, slowly exhaled, nodded, "Agree."

It would not be easy to let a head of state say such words to a general who had captured him.

Xue Shao nodded and smiled, "Xue Shao admired Zamp's heart."

"This is not a mind, it is a compromise." Qi Nou Xi Nong said, "When people have no choice, they will compromise. Only when they experience such things can they have a mind."

Xue Shaoshen smiled slightly with emotion, "I agree too."

"You give me the feeling that it is really similar to Garqinling." Qi Nou Xi Nong said, "When I was young, I admired him and respected him extremely. He was like my father and my teacher. Almost everything I know today is thanks to him for his advice."

Xue Shao smiled, "Has I taught Zamp something now?"
