His Majesty Li Er sighed with regret and said: "Warrior Shearwater...he was seriously ill a few months ago...and died in Yuzhou..."
Hearing this, Su Chen was very surprised.
People disappeared so suddenly?
His Majesty Li Er continued: "Originally, I planned to transfer him from Yuzhou to Jingzhou, but after defeating the Western Turks, due to the lack of environmental officials, I let him continue to manage Yuzhou..."
"It can only be said that things in the world are unpredictable. I didn't expect that he would eventually pass away due to a serious illness..."
Now, Su Chen finally understood the cause of the matter.
It turns out that the reason why something like this happened was all caused by myself...
If everything had developed according to the original trajectory of history, Samurai Shearwater would have been transferred to Jingzhou at this time and would have escaped this disaster.
However, because of his appearance, Li Er captured the Western Turks several years in advance, disrupting the story line and causing all of this to happen so early...
Su Chen couldn't help but sigh in his heart, feeling the change of fate for the first time.
After calming down for a while, Su Chen asked: "Then why did the daughter of Samurai Shepard enter the palace and become a maid? This seems to be unethical, right? After all, Samurai Shepard is the founding contribution of the Tang Dynasty."
His Majesty Li Er explained: "This is not what I meant, but what the widow of Samurai Shearwater meant."
"Because after the death of Samurai Shearwater, his family has lost its backbone. If no one can replace it, I am afraid that his family will collapse quickly, and this is not what I want to see."
"The reason why his daughter is allowed to join the palace as a maid is just a pretense. The original intention of the widow of Samurai Ji is to let her be a talented person for me."
"Because Maid Guanyin liked her very much and thought she was smart and beautiful, so she named her Wu Mei and took her with her personally, teaching her some palace rules."
After listening to Li Er's explanation, Su Chen felt that this world was so magical.
Although history has been changed a lot by him, it seems that there is a pair of hands behind the scenes that are controlling everything and want this era to develop along its original trajectory.
This is not his random imagination!
He himself is a great example!
He can travel back to the Tang Dynasty thousands of years ago, what else is impossible?
Su Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, tapped the table a few times, and suddenly a bold idea appeared in his mind.
Now that he has met the future empress, does it mean that he has the opportunity to rewrite everything in the future?
Thinking of this, Su Chen's heart couldn't help but become hot.
After he traveled to the Tang Dynasty, he rarely had such emotions anymore, and he had a calm and indifferent view of everything.
Because for him, there is nothing in Datang today that can interest him, and he can easily get whatever he wants.
After doing this for a long time, Su Chen felt a little boring.
However, now that he has met the empress who has not yet grown up, he can't help but find it a bit challenging.
Isn’t it fun to play against the mysterious mastermind?
Just when Su Chen was thinking, a charming voice interrupted his thoughts.
"This servant has met Your Majesty and the Lord Protector."
Hearing the sound, Su Chen subconsciously raised his head, just in time to see the fragile and beautiful lady.
I saw that it was a girl in her mid-twenties, with a young but stunning face.
No need to think too much, this person is the future empress Wu Zetian!
Su Chen secretly looked at the young empress now, and involuntarily compared her with Princess Changle.
Although the two women seem to be similar in age, they are completely opposite in body, appearance and temperament.
If Princess Changle is the kind of lady who is gentle as water, knowledgeable and reasonable, then the empress is definitely the kind of existence that brings disaster to the country and the people!
Although the empress is still young now, she can already see some clues in her temperament!
With her slender and charming eyes, delicate and upright facial features, and her unique and agile temperament, she is simply a perfect fairy!
Just one glance and rejection can leave a deep impression in a person's mind!
After looking at it for a few times, Su Chen only had two words to comment on the future empress.
Goblin!
This is a real fairy!
Whether it’s appearance or temperament, she is so in line with today’s empress!
It is conceivable that in a few years, this will definitely be a monster-level disaster for beauty!
No wonder Li Er in history was fascinated by her. This is not unreasonable!
While Su Chen was sizing up the empress, the empress was also sizing him up secretly, glancing at him in detail.
And when she discovered that Su Chen was actually looking at her, the woman who was supposed to be the future empress couldn't help but become shy.
The Protector turned out to be such a handsome young man... far younger than she had heard...
Wu Mei's heartbeat speeded up unconsciously, and she didn't even dare to look directly into Su Chen's eyes. She just lowered her eyebrows and nodded, as if the deer in her heart was about to burst out of her chest.
Just when she was overwhelmed with thoughts and almost lost control of herself, His Majesty Li Er spoke.
"Are you sure you want her to be a beautiful maid?" His Majesty Li Er asked Su Chen.
Hearing this, Wu Mei had a surprised expression on her face, and she couldn't believe her ears.
What your Majesty means is that the Protector wants to accept me as Princess Changle’s maid?!
Regarding this matter, Wu Mei was quite frightened, and even felt flattered.
Since the death of her father, Samurai Shearwater, her family has been facing a major crisis!
Because of Samurai Shear's character, many ministers in the court have not dealt with him for so many years, and they have more or less grievances with him.
The warriors also think that they give priority to His Majesty Li Er's orders. They will not listen to anything else, and they rarely take care of their personal relationships. This creates a situation where the Wu family is not very powerful even though they have the Duke.
In the past, when Samurai Shearwater was alive, the Wu family was living a pretty good life. At least they could ensure daily food and clothing without having to worry about it.
But since the death of Samurai Shearwater, everything has changed dramatically!
Today, the Wu family is in a difficult situation!
Otherwise, she would not have chosen to join the palace as a palace maid. She just wanted to find another way out for the Wu family.
If she can become His Majesty's concubine, then all the difficulties currently facing the Wu family will be solved.
Although this goal has not been achieved yet, it seems not impossible, because Empress Changsun is already very fond of her.
