Zhao Chao knew who Qin Shaoyou was. Although the emperor now controls the situation in Luoyang Palace, he has to maintain Henan, or in other words, what he wants to do next, he has to win over Qin Shaoyou.

Because this person is important, Zhao Chaoshao has to want to be more flattering, but Qin Shaoyou is thinking about his worries and has no time to pay attention to him, which makes him quite discouraged.

After a moment, Shangguan Wan'er came out and gave a wink at Qin Shaoyou.

Qin Shaoyou nodded and quickly entered the hall.

At this time, Wu Zetian was not dressed up, but just a phoenix robe draped over her body, which seemed to have just woken up, so she looked at Qin Shaoyou with a little tiredness and smiled.

Qin Shaoyou looked at her, and both sides seemed to see something from each other's eyes.

In the past, Qin Shaoyou felt that Wu Zetian was unfathomable. At that time, he saw Wu Zetian more like a mountain. However, now, when Qin Shaoyou came step by step and gradually became a powerful minister in the Tang Dynasty, he gradually understood this woman.

Life is unpredictable, but when people reach the situation of Wu Zetian and Qin Shaoyou, they don’t have many choices. If they want to survive, they can only hold on to the things in their hands. Once these things are gone, they will be at the mercy of others.

This is true for Wu Zetian and Qin Shaoyou.

Therefore, they must think carefully and plan carefully. They gradually try not to trust others. They try their best to treat everyone as their pawn.

If you are not careful, you will lose everything. If you lose, you will lose everything.

Qin Shaoyou bowed down: "My son Qin Shaoyou, I have seen Your Majesty."

"Get up, you don't have to be too polite between you and me. What happened to Ling Yue? I haven't seen her for two years. I heard that she gave birth to a child. OK, I have arranged a lot of things, but many things later, I have unexpectedly expected them. Only Ling Yue's arrangement is the most satisfied. Qin Shaoyou, you are my son-in-law of the dragon. The first person I want to summon today is you. There must be many things in the palace that you are not sure about, but it doesn't matter. You just need to know that I am sitting here, today and yesterday have turned upside down.

The imperial guards in the palace have completely become my dead soldiers, and their loyalty. Although they are not very strong, I have tried to control them. Wei Zhengde? Humph, this thief has been killed by me, and the Wei family members... After all, they are still too young. How have they experienced any storms? Because I have today, because I favored the last emperor, they can rule the world. They were wrong, they were wrong. They thought that Wei was the same as me, and because of this, their mistakes. I should also make them pay the price."

This sentence contained a lot of information, especially in the second half, Wu Zetian spoke out with almost disdainful tone.

Is Wei guilty?

They put Wu Zetian under house arrest and covered the sky with one hand. In Wu Zetian's opinion, these are not sins.

In this world, this is true for anyone who reaches the Wei family, so this is not a sin.

But in Wu Zetian's heart, the so-called sin lies not in the good or bad of people, but in their incompetence.

Wei thought that he and Wu Zetian could be called the second Wu Zetian, but she was obviously wrong because she didn't know that the reason why the woman sitting here today was unique was not just because she was so simple as favoring the last emperor. Therefore, Wei was wrong. The mistake was that they despised this woman. They had too much awe for this woman. It was the biggest sin to use a fool like Wei Zhengde to manage Wu Zetian.

Qin Shaoyou smiled. To a certain extent, Wu Zetian was bragging, but bragging often had two types. One was mediocre people bragging, and often this kind of person would only make people laugh. Another was Wu Zetian, just... In anyone's ears, no one dared to laugh at her words, and some were just awe.

Qin Shaoyou said: "Your Highness the Princess is fine and the child is safe."

Wu Zetian nodded, looking very satisfied, and said, "What about you?"

"My teacher?" Qin Shaoyou was slightly stunned.

Wu Zetian said: "Yes, what I want to ask is you. Is it okay in the past two years?"

"I am still able to live a good life, this is also the great blessing that has been entrusted to the emperor."

Instead of being polite, Wu Zetian nodded instead: "Yes, except for your own courage and wisdom, you have given you all the things you have given to you. You must also know why I gave you everything I have given you today. What I have given you so far is not something I can get back if I want to take it back. But I know that some people have been peeking at the things you have been watching for a long time. Qin Shaoyou, you and I have all fallen into death. Do you understand?"

Dead land.

This sentence is not Wu Zetian's exaggeration. In fact, from the beginning, she understood that when she gave Qin Shaoyou these things, Qin Shaoyou was already dead. A child holding gold ingots in his hand and a chef-born person has become an important force in the court. What is next? The next one is surrounded by powerful enemies, and countless people covet. Without the Wei family, there will be Zhang family, and without the Zhang family, there will be crown prince. These people will be Qin Shaoyou's enemies. As long as Qin Shaoyou is still in Henan for one day, many people will be restless at night.

So Wu Zetian was very relieved about Qin Shaoyou, because in essence, Qin Shaoyou and the person she was going to deal with were always in conflict, and this contradiction could never be resolved by just giving in.

Qin Shaoyou did not hesitate. He knew that this mother-in-law was waiting for his attitude at the moment. There was no need to say something in detail or cover it up. Qin Shaoyou said solemnly: "I am given the grace of Your Majesty, but I would rather be careless and motivated by Your Majesty for your advice."

"Okay." Wu Zetian nodded with satisfaction. Although he had known that he had received this answer for a long time, Qin Shaoyou's pleasure made her happy: "Now, even if I want to borrow you, naturally... I will never treat you badly. After all, between you and me, I am still in-laws. Look, I and you are just living in Henan Prefecture now, but... What's the point of this palm-sized place? If you don't have a long-term plan, you will have immediate worries. Now I still have a lot of things to do, and I have to come one by one, and I can't be anxious. First of all, I have to scare the guys in Chang'an first."

Scare...

Hearing this, Qin Shaoyou couldn't help but smile.

Such a dangerous thing is just described as a scare, which is really optimistic.

Wu Zetian pondered for a moment and said, "Tomorrow, let Lingyue enter the palace to meet me, bring the child too. As for your Shen Ce Army, you can strengthen some garrisons in the near future. Now... I think it will be fine. The Wei family is in Chang'an, and I am afraid that they will be in trouble. There will be no wars for the time being. If anything happens, I will ask Wan'er to pass the imperial edict."

Speaking of Shangguan Wan'er, Wu Zetian couldn't help but smile and said, "This girl has been with me all the time. The one I trust most is her. She has suffered so much over the years. She has made her worry and fearful not to tell her, but she has to share many things. However... it seems that everything has passed now. I will treat her well and treat her like Ling Yue."

After coming out of Changle Palace, Shangguan Wan'er has been here for a long time. She went over nervously. Shangguan Wan'er smiled at Qin Shaoyou and became much more relaxed. She blinked and said, "What did Your Majesty say?"

"What does Shangguan Kaizhao think?"

Shangguan Wan'er was angry: "It was clear that I asked you, but why did you question me again?"

When everything was settled, Qin Shaoyou felt relaxed and said, "This is no wonder. Shangguan Kaizhao is in my heart. He has always been a clever plan and a smart ice and snow."

Shangguan Wan'er was so busy that she coughed and couldn't help laughing, and finally said, "Qin Shaoyou, are you afraid?"

"What?" Qin Shaoyou didn't expect Shangguan Wan'er to suddenly ask this.

Shangguan Wan'er stroked her forehead and looked at the setting sun in the distance. Her eyes showed complexity, as if she was covered with a layer of white mist. She said quietly: "The emperor's heart is not just the small Henan Palace. What she wants is the world, but what is the end of this world? Qin Shaoyou, you men are the same. Sometimes, I am also excited about the emperor's great cause, but sometimes, I always feel wrong, people... why are they always like this? The world is so big, but not every time, you can make a brilliant plan. Every time you go smoothly, but just once..."

Qin Shaoyou looked at Shangguan Wan'er. Shangguan Wan'er only left a side face for him at this time. This scheming woman was thinner than before. With a bit of weakness, Qin Shaoyou answered her question almost without hesitation: "Shangguan Kaizhao, in fact... it is not because the emperor's heart is big, but because she has no way out. Today, she can only move forward step by step and never stop. Even if it is covered with thorns, she must go on, because if she stops and waits for her, she will die without a burial place. She is like this, so I never think about this. What I have to do is to continue walking, rather die with a lust than live in the world. So I am not afraid, because when I am afraid, it is when many people raise their butcher swords to me. This is a destiny and no one can change it."
