Chapter 168 Accident
The ambiguity in the inn did not last long. It was a relatively open place. Although Wu Zetian retreated from all the palace servants, including Wu Tuaner, no one could guarantee whether there would be any unexpected situations. An uninteresting palace servant broke in, or Emperor Li Zhi suddenly came. If an unexpected situation occurred, it would cause big trouble. The two of them were so intimate, relieved their longing in their hearts, and separated, and sat down, and began to discuss the serious matter seriously!
The horseshoes that have been equipped with the army, gunpowder and gunpowder products that are being tested, as well as penicillin and other drugs, telescopes and other objects that are being made have been discussed in detail. Chen Yi was surprised at Wu Zetian's concern and concern about these things, and was moved by the woman who has not been in Chang'an's understanding of these things, and did not dare to hide anything, and told them in detail about the related matters.
Finally, when he was preparing to end the topic, in Wu Zetian's accident, Chen Yi suddenly said: "Empress, a few days ago, His Highness the Crown Prince asked the Wei minister to discuss the affairs of the court!"
"Oh?!" Wu Zetian raised his eyebrows, and the strangeness on his face flew away, and said in a faint tone: "It's nothing strange. Your Majesty and I went to Mount Tai to Fengshan. The prince was entrusted to supervise the country. If there is any court issue, it's nothing strange to call you to inquire!"
Chen Yi was paying attention to the change of Wu Zetian's expression when he said this. Her fleeting expression was still captured by him. This made him feel that he was right just now. He didn't hide anything in front of Wu Zetian. He continued to say: "Empress, I have no other intentions. I was just surprised that the Crown Prince suddenly consulted the empress with great matters. He was very frightened, afraid that he would teach His Highness the throne. Therefore, he did not dare to give any explanation. He would ask the empress for advice today. Since the empress said this, I am relieved!"
Wu Zetian also smiled, and praised Chen Yi's tact. She arranged her eyes and ears in Chang'an faithfully told her what happened in Chang'an during this period, and it was quite timely. Someone reported to her about Chen Yi's affairs by Li Hong to discuss matters. She also wanted to find an opportunity to ask Chen Yi what was going on. Unexpectedly, before she returned to the palace, Chen Yi told her about this matter.
While she was happy and relieved for Chen Yi's tact, she also praised the little man for being so scheming, as if she had seen the battle between her and her son because of power, and said it out to show her loyalty to her. She liked Chen Yi to treat her like this. If the intimate expression with Chen Yi just said from the perspective of an emotional woman, then her current mood was that she saw a subordinate she valued more loyal to her and felt a sense of pride. A kind of pride that felt better than usual!
Some of the original worries were eliminated, and Wu Zetian was even more happy. After the incident, he talked to Chen Yi about the situation of his wives, concubines and children.
"Zi Ying. Xiao Chenhuai must be very cute, right? When I return to Chang'an, you bring Minyue and the boy into the palace and let me see how spiritual the son you gave birth to is! I also have rewards for your son!"
"Empress tells me to obey! Thank you!" Chen Yi agreed, knowing that Wu Zetian was tired and wanted to end today's conversation, so he immediately stood up. "Empress, you must be tired, please rest early, I will leave first. Come and pay my respects to the empress tomorrow morning!"
Wu Zetian had a little reluctant look in his eyes, but in the end he nodded and smiled a little far-fetchedly, "Ziying, you are tired too, go and rest first. Let's talk more carefully when you return to Chang'an!" As he said that, he yawned faintly, "I'm really tired and too lazy to get along. Go to bed earlier. Call the group in when you go out!"
"Yes, Empress!" Chen Yi responded and went out immediately and called the martial arts group waiting outside in.
I haven't seen Wu Tuan'er for so long, and I miss you a little. While no one saw him, the two hugged him and kissed him like a dragonfly. With Chen Yi's promise to be with her several times after returning to Chang'an, Wu Tuan'er went in. Chen Yi also wiped his sweat out of the house, and he was also muttering in his heart that women are really hard to deal with, especially when there are too many women, sometimes it is really a burden to deal with different women.
Women are difficult to deal with, and men are also not easy to deal with. Chen Yi just returned to his tent, and his brother-in-law Helan Minzhi came to talk to him in a loud voice.
During the process of the imperial carriage, the soldiers set up camps to rest. Although they have arrived near Chang'an, there are not many houses available for people to live in. They are all arranged for Li Zhi, Wu Zetian, Prince Li Hong and other important officials in the court. Even people close to Wu Zetian like Helan Minzhi live in tents, not to mention Chen Yi, of course they can only live in tents, but because their status is quite special, there are separate tents to live in.
When my brother-in-law comes to visit, the brother-in-law can only greet him with a smile.
In fact, Chen Yi originally wanted to visit Helan Minzhi after leaving Wu Zetian's house. After all, he was a blind date. He hasn't seen him for so long, so he must have a good chat. At least he must have a good talk about his son, Helan Minzhi's nephew Chen Huai!
Helan Minzhi planned to have a good chat with Chen Yi, but when he came, he brought wine and food. After the two entered the tent, they sat down at the case, without any politeness, and drank directly. They talked like they had opened the gate, and they kept talking from their mouths, talking about everything, including the matters of Wushun and Helan Minyue, and the situation of Xiao Chen Huai.
Some affairs in the court were also mentioned, but they just stopped. Both of them knew that there were ears in the walls here and could not say much. As they spoke, they drank wine casually, and they drank too much without realizing it. Finally, Chen Yi couldn't help asking: "Brother Changju, I have something unknown. Minyue is already married. Why don't your mother and your aunt arrange your marriage for you?"
"Ah?!" Helan Minzhi, who was drinking happily with a glass of wine, was stunned for a moment, and the smile on his face also stopped. He actually felt a little sad. After thinking about it, he shook his head: "Zi Ying, if we don't talk about this disappointment today, we only drink. We haven't drunken to the next day, and we won't stop until we get drunk today!"
"Why do you say this is a disappointment?" Chen Yi was puzzled and couldn't help asking.
Helan Minzhi, who was holding a glass of wine, was stunned again, and finally shook his head, "Zi Ying, if you don't talk about this today, you must have seen any hidden information. After returning to Chang'an, we will find some time to talk carefully. I had wanted to tell you about this, but I don't know how to say it, and I want you to give you an opinion!"
"Is it related to the candidate for the Crown Princess?" Chen Yi asked calmly.
"Bang!" The cup in Helan Minzhi's hand fell down, and all the wine in the cup splashed out, splashing on his white clothes, but he didn't notice it. He just looked at Chen Yi in surprise, "Zi Ying, has anyone told you something? My mother? Minyue? Or my aunt?"
When Chen Yi heard Helan Minzhi say this, he was a little confused and said calmly: "Not either, they didn't tell me, I just heard rumors in the market! It was said that the little lady you liked was going to be elected as the crown princess, but is there any such thing?" In fact, he only heard a little news, and it was still very vague, but because he knew that Helan Minzhi had done something ridiculous in history, he inferred this way.
But according to his observation, Helan Minzhi was not a sexually hungry person. It was very simple to deceive a girl with his appearance and talent. He also believed that no woman could resist the attractiveness of Helan Minzhi. Such a person who is not short of women around him would not violate irrelevant women even if he was hungry. The most likely thing is that Helan Minzhi and the woman who was chosen as the Crown Princess had originally developed feelings for some contact. Helan Minzhi also liked this woman, but the woman was chosen as the Crown Princess, which made a couple of lovers unable to unite. Finally, Helan Minzhi had a relationship with the candidate Crown Princess. This matter was exposed, resulting in Li Hong being unable to get married. Wu Zetian could only hurriedly choose another Crown Princess for Li Hong.
It seems that the little lady who doesn't know whose daughter is must be very outstanding, otherwise it would not be possible to be a person like Helan Minzhi who is more arrogant than a person. Only those who are recognized as outstanding will be elected as the crown princess.
In fact, Chen Yi wanted to say that marrying Helan Minzhi would be more lucky than marrying Li Hong's short-lived ghost. Although Li Hong and Helan Minzhi both died very early in history and were almost all killed by Wu Zetian, Chen Yi believed that because of his time traveler, Helan Minzhi would definitely not repeat the mistakes of history, but he knew that Li Hong would definitely lose his life at a young age.
Not only Li Hong, but Li Xian will do the same, because in the original history, these two people were removed by Wu Zetian. In order to seize the highest power, Wu Zetian will definitely take action against his sons who blocked her from seizing the highest power.
There is no such struggle between Helan Minzhi and Wu Zetian, and Helan Minzhi will not be able to seize the highest power. If there is no grudge between the two of them because of Wu Shun and Helan Minyue, they would be a good partner. Now Wu Shun and Helan Minyue have almost cut off their ties with Li Zhi, and there should be no grudge between Helan Minzhi and Wu Zetian.
Chen Yi really wanted to persuade the woman who didn’t know who it was and let her marry Helan Minzhi, otherwise she would be in trouble!
But even if he knows, is it useful to persuade him? In this era when parents' orders and media's words are spoken?
"Ziying, I won't talk about this today. Let's talk about it carefully when I have free time! Come on, we will only drink today, and we will stop drunk!" Helan Minzhi, who was a little excited, did not wait for Chen Yi to react, and after he poured himself full of wine, he started drinking. Chen Yi had to raise his glass! (To be continued...)
