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

Xue Shao's gaze was as clear as usual, but in Yan'er's eyes, he felt that the son had created a gap with him. If so, it would be more serious than killing her.

Immediately, he drew a short blade from his sleeve: "Yan'er made a big mistake, I just want to die, son... take care!"

After all, wipe it on your own neck neatly!
"stop!"

Xue Shao snorted deeply, the short blade in Yan'er's hand stopped and did not cut deep!
Even so, a cut was made on the neck, and blood slowly flowed down the blade.

Xue Shao put down his books, walked up to Yan'er, squatted down, stretched out his white fingers to smooth the hair around her ears, then took out a handkerchief from his bosom, and carefully took the handkerchief from Yan'er. The short blade was finally thrown away together with the handkerchief.

This humble move made Yan'er's eyes filled with tears, her cheeks flushed, and her heart beating wildly!
"Master!" Yan'er called out emotionally.

No wonder she was so excited, but she knew that Xue Shao had always been obsessed with cleanliness, never had physical contact with others, and never let people touch him, even if Xue Guan patted him on the shoulder, he would use a handkerchief wipe.

But at this moment, the young master actually stroked her beautiful hair, such grace, how could she not be inexplicably happy.

"Remember! You are mine. If I don't let you die, you can't die. I don't want it to happen again!"

Xue Shao's fingers brushed Yan'er's cheek again, and gently lifted her chin, those clear eyes shone with a charming luster.

"Young master... Yan'er... remember!"

"now it's right!"

Xue Shao smiled with satisfaction, and helped Yan'er up from the ground.

At that moment, Yan'er recounted everything that happened in the Dragon King Temple verbatim.

Behind Xue Shao's hands, there was always a smile on his face, but the hands behind his back kept wiping the front of his clothes repeatedly, as if he had just touched something that made him extremely disgusted.

As soon as Yan'er finished speaking here, Xue Shao couldn't see the slightest panic on his face, but said unhurriedly:
"It seems that she should die, that's all, let her live a little longer!"

"My lord! If they are allowed to return to the palace alive, His Majesty and the Demon Empress will definitely suspect you, so why not..."

Yan'er made a gesture of silence. In her opinion, her side has been exposed, and more people should be sent to intercept and kill, so that the secret can be kept forever.

Xue Shao shook his head: "She must live well, so that the Xue family can be safe and sound. If she dies, with the demon queen's temperament of killing innocent people indiscriminately, everyone who has anything to do with this matter must be buried with her!"

"But……"

Yan'er wanted to say something else, but Xue Shao waved his hand to stop him: "I know what you want to say, don't forget your other identity!"

Another identity?
Yan'er was startled, she almost forgot that she had always been Empress Wu's eyeliner in the Xue family, after the witchcraft case happened, Empress Wu was wary of Xue's family, Cui Daizhao put her in to monitor every move of Xue's family.

Although she has pledged allegiance to Xue Shao, she is still a member of the harem on the surface.

Xue Shao walked to the desk and took out a secret letter from "The Collection of Elegant Scholars".

"Give this letter to Cui Daizhao!"

Yan'er took it over and saw that it was a letter from Wang Renyou to Xue Shao, agreeing to assassinate the princess!
At the beginning Yan'er gave Xue Shao's order, secretly went to various places, and won a lot of enemies of Empress Wu, among them were Wang Renyou and He Lanminzhi.

"My lord, if Wang Renyou is thrown out, then there will be one less mortal enemy of Empress Wu?"

"It doesn't matter! Wang Renyou was about to die, but he was brought forward by this son. Once he died, the family behind him...haha!"

"Yan'er understands!"

After all, he took two steps back and was about to go out with the letter.

"Yan'er!" Xue Shao called again.

"My lord, what else can I order?" Yan'er turned around and cupped her hands!

Xue Shao asked with a smile: "When you see Cui Daizhao, do you know how to tell her?!"

Yan'er smiled at the corner of her mouth, "I know! Tell the truth, including Yan'er's assassination of the princess, tell her everything verbatim!"

"Smart! Get down!"

Received Xue Shao's compliment, Yan'er was elated, took a deep look at the other party, turned her head and left the room.

After Yan'er left, the smile on the corner of Xue Shao's mouth turned cold instantly:
"Idiot, almost ruined my event!"

He took off his shirt in disgust, wiped it a few more times in his hand, and threw it to the corner.

At the same time, the palace is full of chills!

All the palace people were anxiously busy with their respective affairs, they clearly felt that the atmosphere in the palace today was several times colder than usual!
Especially Li Zhi and the slaves in Empress Wu's bedroom were even more cautious in their words and deeds, walking on thin ice, for fear that a small mistake would result in their heads falling to the ground!

Li Zhi squatted by the Jing River for a day, during which he boarded the boat several times to search for Li Lingyue's whereabouts, but found nothing.

After Empress Wu heard the news, she immediately put down all the affairs in her hands and went out to find her in person. At the same time, the Beiya army was dispatched again. Tens of thousands of soldiers were divided into hundreds of teams to search for the whereabouts of the princess.

All the officials of the government offices around the Jinghe River, regardless of their official positions, were all escorted to Chang'an to wait for their release. They didn't even know why they were imprisoned.

Li Zhi, who fell into madness, even disregarded the obstruction of the ministers, posted the imperial list, and recruited all the people near the Jinghe, Weihe, Bahe, and Chanhe Rivers. If anyone found the princess, the head of the family would confer the title of viscount and reward hundreds of households. !
As soon as this super big reward came out, Princess Datang became the golden key for the low-level people to cross class and status. The whole area around Chang'an was fried instantly. Looking on the shore, within [-] miles of both sides of the Jing River, it was almost completely surrounded.

Empress Wu was worried about Li Zhi's health, and when repeated persuasion was useless, she finally ordered someone to forcibly carry Li Zhi back to the palace. The couple closed the door and had a big fight inside.

No one knew what they were arguing about, and no one dared to approach the place where they were arguing.

In the middle of the night, Li Zhi, dressed in military uniform, led Nan Ya's flying horses out of the palace!
This time, he didn't go to Jinghe, but went straight to the Taoist altar of Tiandaomen—Xuandu Temple!

When Empress Wu received the news, she was so angry that she cursed "faint king"!
One must know that Xuandu Temple is not an ordinary place, it has been designated as a royal dojo since the time of Taizu!

The Taoist patriarch Laozi enshrined in it was revered as the "Holy Ancestor" by Gaozu, and "Emperor Xuanyuan" by Taizong. Even after Li Zhi succeeded to the throne, he was also revered as "Emperor Xuanyuan"!
It is no exaggeration to say that Xuandu Temple is the orthodox symbol of the Li and Tang royal family. If Li Zhi leads troops to surround Xuandu Temple, the consequences will undoubtedly shake the foundation of the country!

It was the first time Empress Wu felt panic and nervousness. She would never have imagined that Li Zhi just took his daughter to Yanzhou, and the relationship between father and daughter would become so deep, so deep that she was a little jealous.

Back then, Li Zhi was just an enemy of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty in order to help her get on the throne, but now for his daughter, he went to find trouble with the Heavenly Dao Sect!
Without time to think about it, Empress Wu immediately issued the Peony Order, and all the peony guards in the harem were dispatched to tie Li Zhi back before the emperor arrived at Xuandu Temple.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Cui Daizhao, who was sent by Empress Wu to collect intelligence, brought back two important pieces of news.

The first one: the princess did not drown, but was assassinated in the Dragon King Temple, and her life and death are still uncertain.

Second: The mastermind behind the assassination of the princess has been found.

Empress Wu unfolded the note that Cui Daizhao handed over, and there were seven simple characters written on it: Wang Shi of Taiyuan—Python Renyou!

Empress Wu's face suddenly turned pale. Mang Renyou's original name was Wang Renyou, and the surname "Pong" was originally bestowed by Empress Wu in order to insult him.

And Wang Renyou had a daughter who was once the lifelong enemy of Empress Wu, and later generations used to call her—Queen Wang.
