Although his heart has always been towards Li Tang, he has never changed.
But he also knew very clearly that with the existence of Wu Ling'er and Wu Youchang, it didn't matter how strong the Li family was.
There is no comparison between the two, okay!
In short, Li really can't defeat the two of them.
There is no hope!
Moreover, from the current point of view, Wu Ling'er's ability is qualified and she is the embryo of a wise king.
Much better than most of the Li and Tang royal families.
…
In the palace, a boy and girl were holding hands, just like a pair of beauties, and they were walking aimlessly.
"this is for you."
Wu Ling'er sensed that there was something in her hand. She used her spiritual sense to explore and saw a large amount of property in the Xumi Ring and a huge stone.
She recognized it at a glance as the space wrapped by the formation.
"Where did you get it?"
"Under the Xuanwu Sect."
"Oh. I'll give it to you after I crack it."
She sent everything into the world inside the cauldron, and then returned the Sumeru Ring to Ye Yuan.
Ye Yuan put the ring on and said nonchalantly.
"Take your time, don't be in a hurry."
Wu Ling'er said nonchalantly.
"It just so happens that Xueer is also free when she is idle."
This is a coolie trying to catch her daughter!
Ye Yuan didn't pay much attention. He looked at the somewhat empty palace and asked curiously.
"Why is the palace so deserted?"
"There is no way, Luoyang only has basic manpower, and the time is too short for outsiders to guarantee safety."
The incident happened suddenly, and Luoyang was not prepared.
Besides, if the capital is really to be moved as planned, Chang'an only needs to arrange basic manpower to maintain the operation of the palace.
It is absolutely possible to bring available manpower to Luoyang, so that it will not be wasted.
Unfortunately, all plans were destroyed in a big explosion.
Shortage of manpower has become a big problem for the palace.
And because of the lessons learned from that explosion, Wu Zetian did not dare to recruit people aggressively for the sake of safety.
Suddenly, Ye Yuan and Wu Ling'er's ears twitched slightly, they looked at each other knowingly, stopped talking, and just walked quietly.
In the palace, the conversation between the monarch and his ministers continued again, but this time the topic was changed.
"Your Majesty, the center of the explosion is in the palace treasure house. Has anyone entered the treasure house recently?"
Wu Zetian smiled bitterly, shook his head, and said helplessly.
"There are too many people going. I, Sansi, Chengsi, Wan'er, and many plum blossom guards..."
Di Pangpang was immediately speechless. So many people had entered the palace's treasure house, including a large number of minor figures. How could he investigate?
Helpless, he could only take out a scroll and spread it out. On it was the detailed layout of Chang'an Palace.
He drew this based on his memory. There is also a red dot on the treasure house in the picture, which is the center of the explosion confirmed by Di Pangpang after personal inspection.
"Your Majesty, do you still remember what is displayed here?"
Wu Zetian looked at the position of the red dot, her face changed drastically, and she said in disbelief.
"Dragon Ball!"
"What?"
Not to mention that Di Pangpang was fat, Ye Yuan and Wu Ling'er looked at each other, neither of them believed it.
How could something like the Dragon Ball appear in the palace treasury?
Facing Di Renjie's suspicious gaze, Wu Zetian had a flash of regret deep in her eyes and explained.
"It is said that this object was a tribute treasure from a small country in the East China Sea during the Taizong period. It emits blue light when it touches water. It is very beautiful and indestructible. However, since it has no other use, it is regarded as a treasure."
"Well, then why did the dragon ball explode suddenly?"
"have no idea."
Wu Zetian looked incomprehensible. She suddenly felt dizzy and the world was spinning. She immediately held the chair tightly with both hands, and veins popped out on her hands.
"His Majesty…"
When she woke up again, Di Pangpang's call of concern was still echoing in her ears.
She took a deep breath and spoke as calmly as possible.
"I'm fine, I'm just too tired these days. Di Qing came back just in time, so you can help Ling'er handle some government affairs. I need to take a good rest for a while."
Di Renjie just wanted to object, but he had no way of saying it, so he could only acquiesce in the end.
After Wu Zetian left, Wu Ling'er also came back, and there were still a large number of memorials that had not been approved.
After she came in, she bowed her hands to Di Renjie and said:
"Master Di, I'm sorry."
Di Renjie said with complicated eyes.
"Princess, I'm serious."
Before Ye Yuan could walk out of the palace gate, he was stopped by someone.
He is not some blind soldier, nor is he some blind general of the Qianniu Guard.
But Ye Yuan's acquaintance... Shangguan Wan'er.
I remember she was the one who stopped me last time in Chang'an City.
Only this time, Ye Yuan did not pretend to be deaf and dumb, but stopped and greeted with a concerned look on his face.
"Sister Wan'er, why are you so thin?"
Shangguan Wan'er is no longer as plump as before, both her face and figure have shrunk.
Shangguan Wan'er's face froze when she heard this, her eyes looked regretful, self-blaming, and panicky, but she calmed down instantly and turned into a look of sadness and pain.
"Well, what happened in Chang'an City is still vivid in my mind, and I often can't sleep at night."
Ye Yuan seemed to have not noticed anything unusual about her before, and held her hand enthusiastically as always.
Ye Yuan's face suddenly stiffened, then became enthusiastic again and continued.
"Sister Wan'er, my massage skills are very good. Why don't you let me massage you? I'll make sure you sleep until dawn."
Shangguan Wan'er shook off Ye Yuan's dishonest little hand, glanced at him and said.
"If you're still so dishonest, I'm not afraid that your princess will find out and let you go into the palace to accompany her."
Ye Yuan pretended to be surprised and said.
"This is great, so I can stay with my sister every day."
Ye Yuan was too thick-skinned, Shangguan Wan'er had no choice but to spit lightly.
"Bah, you are so smooth-tongued. I don't know why Linger fell in love with a guy like you."
Seeing that Ye Yuan was still so careless, Shangguan Wan'er had no time to spend with him, so she directly handed an imperial edict to Ye Yuan and said.
"Your status is different now. Just read this imperial edict for yourself."
After saying that, she left without looking back.
Ye Yuan held the imperial edict in his hand, but had no intention of checking it. He just looked at Shangguan Wan'er's leaving figure with a solemn expression.
Through the careful observation and testing just now.
Ye Yuan discovered the problem. Shangguan Wan'er definitely knew something about the big explosion in Chang'an City a month ago.
"Are you involved yourself, or... are you involved?"
"Things are getting more complicated!"
Ye Yuan opened the imperial edict nonchalantly. It was filled with a bunch of gorgeous nonsense and no nutrition at all.
To briefly summarize, he was canonized as King of Zhou and rewarded with a huge palace.
If Ye Yuan remembered correctly, this palace belonged to Wu Sansi, but after he died in Chang'an City, the palace was taken away by Wu Zetian.
Now, it fell into Ye Yuan's hands.
"The King of Zhou takes the title of prince as the king. It seems that she has completely made up her mind."
This imperial edict expressed Wu Zetian's intentions.
Moreover, she has already begun to pave the way for Wu Ling'er.
This time, Ye Yuan was thrown out first to explore the way.
What a good idea.
Ye Yuan is sure that tomorrow...
No, right now, once this news spreads, the whole country will definitely be shocked.
Then, Ye Yuan was greeted by endless attacks and impeachments.
Ye Yuan smiled helplessly, his wife could only suffer by herself.
"I'm just the one who offers advice, and I won't have a good life in the future."
