Early the next morning, the palace gate of the imperial city opened slowly, and the chariots headed by the queen drove out of the palace one by one.

Because Empress Wu was rushing back to Dongdu to attend the funeral for Yang's family, all the palace attendants who accompanied her were allowed to ride in a carriage, and Beiya dispatched [-] flying cavalry in an emergency to protect the queen's safety.

The team was mighty and mighty, leaving the Xuanwu Gate, galloping eastward, and at noon, they had already left the territory of Chang'an.

Li Lingyue was wearing a Taoist robe and holding floating dust in her hand. She was already dressed as a monk, and the accompanying Gong'er was also wearing a Taoist robe like her.

The little girl begged Li Lingyue for a long time, and finally got a place to accompany her. She was so happy that she didn't close her eyes all night, and fell asleep shortly after getting into the carriage.

Li Lingyue couldn't bear to wake her up, so she made tea by herself, sipping the tea while admiring the scenery outside the window.

After lunch, the team went back on the road. Empress Wu had nothing else to do, so she called Li Lingyue into her imperial chariot, and the two of them shared the same chariot.

Different from going to Fuzhou with Li Zhi, Li Lingyue always felt uncomfortable when she was alone with Empress Wu, especially when Empress Wu looked at her without blinking, she felt even more restless, so she kept looking for topics to relieve her boredom along the way .

"Aniang, why didn't Cui Daizhao go with you?" Li Lingyue asked her own question.

Empress Wu, who was leaning on the soft bed, supported her head with her hands, and said without concealment:

"Your second brother is not young, I asked Cui Dai to introduce some ministers to get acquainted with him, and help him make more connections with the power in the court!"

Li Lingyue was secretly surprised. It is not difficult to see from Empress Wu's words that this is the rhythm of supporting King Yong to fight against the East Palace Chamber.

Since Empress Wu didn't hide her clumsiness, she didn't have anything to worry about, so she asked straightforwardly:

"Aniang, are you going to deal with the prince's brother?"

"What nonsense!!" Empress Wu stared fiercely, scaring Li Lingyue to shut up quickly.

She sat up slowly and saw her daughter's face showing fear, so she said in a gentle tone:
"Silly girl, you did this for your mother because you want our mother and daughter to have a foothold in the harem for a long time. Now your prince brother has a grudge against me. It doesn't matter to me as a mother, but you can't. What if he becomes the emperor in the future?" , what should I do if I take you to get married? You are A Niang's favorite child, and no one wants to make you feel wronged!"

Li Lingyue stared into Empress Wu's eyes, and didn't know how true or false what she said for a moment. She took Empress Wu's arm favorably, and said jokingly:

"It's still Auntie who loves me. For me, even the prince dares to dismiss me!"

Empress Wu said angrily: "What nonsense, I just beat him, never thought of abolishing the prince, you damn girl, what are you thinking in your mind!"

"Ah! I thought Auntie was going to abolish the crown prince?" Li Lingyue stuck out her tongue, pretending to be surprised.

Empress Wu poked hard on her forehead with her finger, and reprimanded: "Your crown prince brother was just bewitched by some courtiers. As long as you cut off the party feathers around him, he is still the master of the East Palace. This will never change!"

Boo!What's the difference between this and abolishing him!Li Lingyue slandered in her heart.

Empress Wu didn't seem to want to talk too much about this topic, so she changed the subject and said:

"Girl, Luoyang is no better than Chang'an. If you are not happy staying here, or you have been wronged in some way, you only need to write a letter, and mother will find a way to take you back!"

Li Lingyue asked puzzledly: "Aniang, I am the princess of the dynasty, who can make me suffer!"

Empress Wu looked at her, and said with a slightly serious tone: "Do you think a princess can be superior? Luoyang city is full of dragons and snakes, and there are many people stronger than you. Just like Yanzhou again, causing trouble everywhere! If you mess with someone you can't afford, even your mother can't protect you!"

Li Lingyue was surprised, and felt that her mother's words were a bit exaggerated, but then she thought about it, the Taoist nun holding the holy seal was the one she couldn't afford to offend.

"Then I would like to ask, Aniang, which people my daughter needs to keep a distance from, so my daughter has a good idea!"

Li Lingyue made up her mind that before her wings were full, she would always be a man with her tail between her legs.

Empress Wu glanced at her, and said with a sneer: "Do I need to remind you, the guard that you Aye gave you, Shi Qingfeng, the great disciple of the Heavenly Dao Sect, is one of them!"

Seeing that Empress Wu also mentioned this person, Li Lingyue frowned slightly, and said disdainfully:
"That man surnamed Shi is not a good person. When he gets the chance, my daughter will kill him sooner or later!"

Empress Wu solemnly reminded: "I advise you to put away your thoughts as soon as possible. If there is no accident, Shi Qingfeng is likely to be the next national teacher of the Tang Dynasty. Those old guys from Tiandaomen are very rare to him!"

Li Lingyue curled her lips: "Since he is so rare, why did he come to be our guard!"

Empress Wu shook her head and said: "This involves a deal between the royal family and the Taoist school. Hey, you don't understand. In short, just don't provoke him!"

"But what if he provokes me? Why don't you just bear it?!" Li Lingyue said unconvinced.

"Yes, bear with it!" Empress Wu said without hesitation: "You, Ayena, have endured until now, don't blame me for not reminding you, if the Heavenly Dao Sect sacrifices Taizong's holy seal, I will not be able to protect you for my mother! "

Li Lingyue clenched her fists tightly. Now when she heard the name 'Heavenly Daomen', she felt a sense of humiliation. She asked in a deep voice:

"Aniang, don't we have any way to deal with Tiandaomen?"

"Of course!" Empress Wu replied without thinking.

"What's the solution, tell me quickly!" Li Lingyue immediately became interested.

Empress Wu looked at her Taoist robe, and swallowed back what she wanted to say:

"This is not something you should worry about. When the time is right, the Heavenly Dao Sect will naturally be eradicated. Now you can just stay in Luoyang honestly, do you hear me?"

"Oh!"

Li Lingyue was a little disappointed, she understood Empress Wu's temperament very well, as long as the other party didn't tell her, it would be useless to ask more.

"Then besides that surnamed Shi, who else should my daughter keep at arm's length?"

Li Lingyue asked another question, and Empress Wu replied without hesitation: "King Yu!"

King Yu?Li Lingyue was a little surprised: "Aniang, the King Yu you're talking about is the emperor's grandfather's fifteenth younger brother, Uncle Wang Li Fengyang?"

"Exactly!" Empress Wu nodded and said in a deep voice:

"The king of Yu was the most beloved prince of Gaozu in his later years. Before he passed away, he made your grandfather swear in front of his bed that future generations would not torture and harm the lineage of the king of Yu. Since then, the king of Yu has become the prince of Taiping. Although he has no real power, but But the real King of Luoyang, according to seniority, you, Aye, have to call Uncle Wang when you see him, that old guy is small-minded, if you can not offend him, try not to provoke him, lest you, Aye, be caught in the middle and make things difficult!"

Li Lingyue was once again startled by the old Li family's coquettish manipulations. One moment they made a Taizong seal, and the other moment they made a privileged king. Do you want to live this day?

"Mother! What if... I said what if, what if he provokes me?" Li Lingyue began to apply eye drops to Empress Wu.

Empress Wu said firmly: "There is no chance, he is an old man in his 80s, as long as you don't mess with him, how can he have trouble with your grandchildren and dolls!" Empress Wu paused, and then said:

"Compared to him, I am more worried about another person!"

"Who is it?" Li Lingyue asked subconsciously.

Empress Wu's face became a little gloomy, and she said slowly: "Your cousin, He Lanminzhi!"

Sorry, the computer at home broke down in the past two days, and I was reluctant to spend money to repair it, so I fiddled with it for a day, bought accessories and installed it myself, and finally got it done.

In addition to the start of the Women's World Cup, the author is a fan and likes to watch women's football, so the update has been delayed, sorry, sorry!
