Chapter 9 Empress Wu's Showdown
After the full moon ceremony, Empress Wu gained power, but lost love.

Although Li Zhi still accommodates her, pampers her, and relies on her, he seldom comes to Hanliang Hall to spend the night again.

Empress Wu didn't care about this, her mind was all on the court, and when the confinement was full, she hugged Li Lingyue and listened to the government behind the curtain.

Li Lingyue thought it was very fresh to be taken to the court by Empress Wu at first, but after a few days, it became boring.

Sometimes staying in Empress Wu's arms for two hours, no matter how hard she could bear it, she would cry to express her dissatisfaction.

Sometimes when the ministers were discussing matters, Li Lingyue's cries would be heard inappropriately, and then the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, including Li Zhi, had to suspend the court meeting.

Empress Wu blatantly turned the court into a nursery. Didn't the minister write a letter of impeachment?
Yes, there are, but the ministers of the Ministry of Rites have been replaced by Empress Wu, and dead remonstrance will not work, so who is afraid of you writing a letter!

Besides, the emperor has no objection, and as a courtier, there is no need to make yourself unhappy.

Li Zhi's energy is only on the Prince and Wu Shun now, his dizziness is getting worse and worse, his vision is often blurred when reading memorials, since Empress Wu is full of energy, he simply becomes the shopkeeper.

He thought very simply, anyway, the crown prince will inherit the throne in the future, and the prince is the son of Empress Wu, so what should he worry about?

Moreover, Empress Wu is very smart, knowing that the most taboo thing in the emperor's family is the dictatorship of foreign relatives.

When others become queens, they wish that the whole family would become kings and ministers.

But Empress Wu was different. After the Wu family was rewarded by the court as usual, Empress Wu quickly found someone to charge her with crimes and deposed and punished her two half-brothers, Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang. Both brothers died tragically in exile. en route.

He killed his half-brothers, not to mention other men from the Wu family.

But all members of the Wu clan who were promoted by the court, as long as they had a relationship with Empress Wu, were all suppressed, so that during Li Zhi's reign, none of the Wu family members were reused, which made Li Zhi feel more at ease.

As long as the emperor is free, he will have more thoughts.

In Wu Shun's body, Li Zhi regained the joy of being a man.

When Wu Zetian was named Zhaoyi by Li Zhi, Li Zhi worried that she would be lonely in the palace, so he decreed that Empress Wu's close relatives could enter and leave the harem at will.

As a result, Li Zhi and Wu Shun kept an unclear relationship for a long time.

Since Wu Zetian became a queen, she doesn't mind who Li Zhi favors. As long as she is still the master of the harem, no matter who gets close to Li Zhi, she can turn a blind eye!

But only Wushun can't do it.

Wu Shun's identity is too sensitive, and her actions will embarrass Wu Zetian, the master of the harem. After giving birth to the little princess, she is determined to kill this evil relationship.

However, Li Zhi's decentralization made her shelve the matter temporarily, and it was not until the coming October that Taishan was enshrined in Zen, that Empress Wu regained her murderous intentions.

After Li Lingyue's full moon ceremony, Empress Wu persuaded Li Zhi to enshrine Zen on Mount Tai, and Li Zhi readily agreed, thinking that this matter had nothing to do with Wushun.

But Wu Shun told Li Zhi that Meiniang had just given birth to a princess and was inconvenient physically, so she was willing to accompany the emperor to Mount Tai to worship heaven on behalf of her sister!
The news quickly reached the ears of Empress Wu...

August [-]th, Mid-Autumn Festival night!
Li Zhi hosted a banquet in the palace, and the royal family and the queen's family were all invited.

After the banquet, the two brothers and sisters of He Lanmin helped Mrs. Rong Guo go back to the mansion as usual, and Wu Shun accompanied his younger sister Wu Zetian to visit the Taiye Pool at night.

The court ladies led the way with lanterns, and Wu Zetian and Wu Shun walked along the Qingshi Road of Taiye Lake to admire the moon while talking intimately.

"Sister, do you remember the scene when we three sisters worshiped the moon for the first time when we were young?" Wu Zetian looked at the full moon in the sky and asked with some emotion.

"Why don't you remember!" Wu Shun said jokingly: "At that time, Auntie led us to worship the moon, and my younger sister and I both knelt honestly, but the empress was reprimanded by Auntie for insisting on standing. pause!"

Wu Zetian also smiled when he recalled his childhood experience, and asked again:
"Then sister, do you know why I didn't kneel at that time?"

"I've never heard of this before!" Wu Shun shook his head.

Wu Zetian walked to the railing, looked at the full moon in the sky, and said lightly:
"That's because I read a story in an old book. It said that an eminent monk passed by a family named Lou one day and left a sentence: There is a moon in the reeds of this house. Not long after, the Lou family gave birth to The baby girl, when she grows up, she will be sidelined as a queen!"

Speaking of this, Wu Zetian turned to look at Wu Shun behind him and said with a smile: "Now you know why I don't worship the moon!"

"I understand. Since ancient times, the "sun" has been the king and the "moon" has been the queen. From then on, the empress has the ambition to be the mother of the world!" Wu Shun laughed suddenly.

Wu Zetian didn't nod or shake his head, but continued to recall the previous experience:
"Later when I entered the palace as a servant girl, my mother was crying all day long. I was not happy, and told her that when my daughter enters the palace, she will surely sing like a phoenix and rise to the sun, and walk on the moon to climb the clouds. How can my mother be underestimated when she cries like this?" daughter?"

"Later, I suffered from hardships and sufferings, and finally took charge of the Phoenix Seal and commanded the sixth palace. Sister thought, am I worthy of this unique moon?"

"You deserve it!" Wu Shun replied respectfully.

"But now, there are two moons appearing between the sky and the earth!" He said, pointing his finger at the round moon on the lake, and asked Wu Shun:

"Look, there are two moons in front of you and me. My sister thinks, which one is me? Which one is you?"

This question is undoubtedly a showdown with Wushun straight to the point.

When Wu Shun heard the words, his face paled instantly, and when he heard that Empress Wu compared her to the moon, out of fear of his sister, he would kneel down if his legs didn't work.

But soon, she put her hand on the railing and forced herself to stay on her feet.

This time, she didn't flinch anymore, but summoned up her courage, met Wu Zetian's stunning gaze, and replied with some resistance:
"Of course the one in the sky is the empress, and the one in the water is the concubine!"

When Wu Zetian heard this, she couldn't see any expression change on her face, but the way she looked at Wu Shun became more and more unfamiliar. She corrected her tone coldly:
"You are wrong, there is only one moon, and there can only be one. I will not stop you if you want to be the moon in the water, but don't forget that all appearances are illusory, and all conditioned dharmas are like dreams and bubbles. Even my mother understands, how can you not know?"

Wu Zetian no longer called Wu Shun "sister", her words hit Wu Shun's heart directly.

That's right, as far as the matter between her and Li Zhi is concerned, the reputation is not right, not to mention the fight for the second place, it is a joke when it spreads, what Li Zhi can give her is just sweet words on the lips, let me ask, what can she use to fight against Empress Wu? !
Wu Shun bit his lips tightly, and said nothing, Zhan Su, who couldn't hold back his body, was on the verge of collapse. Wu Zetian stretched his head over and whispered in her ear:
"If you weren't thinking about family affection, you would be the second concubine Xiao Shu!"

As soon as these words came out, Wushun's psychological defense completely collapsed, and he knelt down with a "plop".

Rumor has it that after Concubine Xiao Shu was abolished, Wu Zetian ordered people to cut off her hands and feet, and put them into a wine vat to make "bone drunk". She died very badly.

Wu Zetian said coldly: "I gave you a chance, but you don't know how to repent. After you die, Minzhi will adopt the Wu family to become the head of the family. As long as the Wu family does not fail, he will enjoy the glory and wealth. Min Yue will marry into the royal family and become the head of the family." Princess, are you satisfied with this arrangement?"

As soon as these words came out, he was moved to kill.

Wu Shun was full of fear and despair. She knew her sister very well, and once she made a decision, it was difficult to change it.

She got close to Li Zhi because she wanted a good home for her two children, and now her younger sister readily gave it to her.

It's just... she has to trade her life for it.

She can go to Li Zhi to save her life, but if her life is saved, will her sister let her go?

Obviously not!

Maybe on the way to exile, he will die, and even his own children may not be able to survive by then!
Wu Shun lay on the ground, kowtowed heavily, and wept bitterly: "I only hope that my sister can keep her promise, I... I... I will give you an explanation tomorrow!"

Wu Zetian was condescending, his eyes stayed on her for a moment, then he turned and left, walked three steps, then turned back to Wu Shun and said:

"Go, when you are dying, you should see him!"

After finishing speaking, surrounded by the palace people, he returned to Hanliang Hall.

　Empress Wu Zetian listened to politics behind a curtain. Don’t mention this word, just think of Cixi.

　　Also, this point of Wushun has to be written, thread embedding operation, everyone bear with it!
　　Finally, the ladies and sisters recommended votes to support a wave of slow-heating books, which will be absolutely exciting in the future!
