After being dressed as Wu Zetian's daughter, she was favored by the group

Chapter 27

At dusk, Empress Wu returned from Li Zhi's place to Hanliang Hall after a busy day.

Father-in-law Yang Yi had already prepared a bowl of ginseng soup and put it on the table. Cui Daizhao knelt in front of the table and helped the empress sort out the unreviewed memorials.

In the past half month, the state affairs have been extremely busy, especially in the season of Eargrass. Many places in the north have been raining continuously, causing the Yellow River in the hinterland of the Central Plains to burst its embankment, causing floods.

Natural disasters will inevitably lead to reduced crop production and widespread displacement.

Therefore, the papers of the imperial court's disaster relief, water control, and people's peace in the government offices of various places piled up in front of Li Zhi's case like snowflakes.

Li Zhiben suffered from wind-dizzy disease, and felt dizzy when he saw the memorial, so he simply handed it all over to Empress Wu for review.

With the imperial pen and jade seal in hand, Empress Wu had a taste of the supremacy of imperial power. Although she was physically and mentally exhausted from being busy every day, she enjoyed the happiness brought by power.

She drank ginseng soup, ate a piece of snack, and received the memorial from Cui Daizhao, and was about to continue to "work overtime", when two men cried heart-piercingly from outside the hall.

From the crying, Empress Wu quickly recognized that these were her sons Li Xian and Li Dan.

Empress Wu gave Yang Yi a look, and the latter rushed out to welcome the two princes into the hall.

When Li Xian and Li Dan saw Empress Wu, they made a "plop", bent down and sobbed and said:
"Queen, something is wrong!"

"You useless things, why panic, talk about things slowly!" Empress Wu reprimanded her head and face.

Li Xian wiped away the tears on his face indiscriminately, and said mournfully:

"Mother's queen, little sister... my little sister was murdered and her life was lost! Woooooo!"

Li Dan followed suit and said: "Yes! The little girl was killed by the bad guys! Wow!"

"Click!", the imperial pen in Empress Wu's hand fell, and her chest suddenly hurt, her whole mind went blank, but soon, she realized that her daughter was staying well in Shanggong Bureau, so how could she be murdered? Woolen cloth.

As soon as she thought of this, Empress Wu immediately vetoed the idea. She knew her daughter's nature too well, and in all likelihood, she was definitely not in the palace now.

Wu Zetian forcibly suppressed the panic in his heart, stepped forward quickly, kicked each of the two sons who were kneeling on the ground and only knew how to cry, and kicked them hard.

"Why are you crying, tell me what happened from beginning to end!"

The two brothers stood up with their arms, and you told me Li Lingyue's itinerary from the palace to the palace one sentence at a time.

When it was said that Li Lingyue was only wearing the clothes of a servant, without any entourage, but was walking alone in the downtown area, Wu Hou, who was still hopeful, couldn't hold on anymore, his chest hurt again, his eyes suddenly went dark, and his whole body She was about to fall down, Cui Daizhao and Eunuch Yang saw this and hurried to support her.

Empress Wu, who was in a stable figure, did not know where the strength came from, and suddenly threw the two of them away, and grabbed the fronts of Li Xian and Li Dan with her bare hands. Trembling, almost out of breath.

"Say! How did she die? Who killed her!" Empress Wu roared almost madly with veins on her forehead and fierce eyes.

It was the first time for Li Xian to see such a hideous and terrifying face of Empress Wu. He was so frightened that his legs went limp, his teeth trembled, and his lower body couldn't help being warm, it was already wet a lot!

"Yes... yes... Yang Sijian! Yes! It was Yang Sijian who killed him!" Li Xian cried again, but this time, he was frightened by Empress Wu.

Yang Sijian?When Empress Wu heard the name, she was stunned on the spot.

Because she was very familiar with Yang Sijian, from Wei Shaoqing, the fourth-rank division, in charge of the weapons of the Imperial Army, a chess piece that she drew up by herself and placed in the Imperial Army.

Secondly, Yang Xiong, Yang Sijian's grandfather, and Empress Wu's grandfather Yang Da are brothers, and he and Empress Wu are cousins. This cousin was already attached to her, so how could he harm his most beloved daughter.

The most important thing is that Empress Wu has designated Yang Sijian's daughter Yang Xiuxiuqin as the crown princess. He belongs to the Hongnong Yang family and is about to become a relative of the emperor. How could he do such a stupid thing to destroy his family!
Empress Wu became suspicious, pushed the two sons away, swept the two with sharp eyes, and continued to question:
"Why did you decide it was Yang Sijian?"

Li Xian hurriedly pulled out the note from his sleeve and handed it to Empress Wu.

Empress Wu took it and looked at it, and was instantly out of breath. She flicked the long sleeves, and there were five finger marks on the faces of the two brothers.

"Trash, I also believe this kind of fabricated news, how did I give birth to such a brainless thing like you!"

The reason why Empress Wu was angry was mainly because the two sons came to say that their daughter had been killed with just a note, which made her almost emotionally broken.

Now that she read the note, her worrying mood became much more stable. No matter how she looked at it, she did not believe that Yang Sijian would conspire against him.

"Who is the person who sent you this note?" Wu Zetian asked.

Li Xian, who was stupefied, learned to be smart this time. He didn't even open his mouth when he was beaten to death. Instead, he pushed Li Dan, whose face was full of tears, who wanted to cry but didn't dare to cry.

Seeing Empress Wu's eyes resting on him, Li Dan felt a coldness on his neck instantly, and replied falteringly:
"Son... Erchen... no... I don't know!"

"Crack!" sound!
Sure enough, Empress Wu slapped Li Dan again, causing Li Dan's cheeks to swell and his head to buzz.

"Go back and face the wall and think about it! If the younger sister returns home, immediately bring her here!"

After Empress Wu finished speaking, the two brothers felt relieved and hurriedly knelt down, fearing that they would stay in the Hanliang Hall for a second longer.

Who is in the end?
A few faces flashed quickly in Empress Wu's mind. After thinking about it again and again, she finally shook her head.

Although she thought that the person behind the note was playing tricks, but the other party set his mind on her daughter, so she had to guard against it.

She didn't see her daughter for a moment, and as a mother, she couldn't help feeling anxious, and regardless of whether the content of the note was true or not, she had to check it out for her daughter's safety.

After making up his mind, Empress Wu immediately ordered:

"Cui Shi, within half an hour, I want to know the movements of everyone in Yang Sijian's house today!"

"Yes! The servant girl will do it now!"

On the other side, in a house in the western suburbs of Chang'an City, Li Lingyue was locked in a woodshed with her hands and feet bound.

There were a few guards brought by Yang Xiuxiu at the gate, while Yang Xiuxiu herself was sitting on a grand master's chair, sipping fragrant tea while interrogating Li Lingyue, who had become a prisoner.

When Li Lingyue called out He Lanmin, Yang Xiuxiu kept her in mind and did not execute her in full view, but took her to a private house of hers, where she was secretly guarded.

"Tell me, what is your relationship with He Lanminzhi?" Yang Xiuxiu put down the teacup and asked Li Lingyue forcefully.

Li Lingyue smiled contemptuously, and replied unflinchingly: "If you call him here, you will know everything. The question is...do you dare?"

There is no way, now that it is in the hands of this witch, she must not show any timidity in her aura, so that the other party will throw her a mouse.

If you blindly surrender and beg for mercy, Baobuqi really treats yourself as a little guy, and if you get cut with a knife, then your death is not worth it.
