Chapter 435 Mu Mingyu(1/2)

That night, outside the Fenfang Hall of Shangyang Palace, there were bright lights.

Wu Zetian walked leisurely on the rainbow bridge, following Shangguan Wan'er alone.

All the male eunuchs were waiting respectfully at the end of the rainbow bridge, and even the brothers Zhang Yizhi were among them.

On the bridge, there were oil lamps, as if stars were dotted.

Wu Zetian and Shangguan Wan'er walked around in it, looking outside, as if they were wandering in the starry sky.

There are hundreds or even thousands of lotus lanterns floating in the lake under the Ray-Shock Bridge, which further highlights the gracefulness of this scenery.

"This is an idea Goro came up with, but it's a bit interesting."

Wu Zetian stopped and suddenly turned around and asked, "Wan'er, have you asked?"

Shangguan Wan'er whispered: "I've asked... King Liang confessed to the mobilization of troops, but he said that he had no intention of hurting Yang Shouwen. King Liang said: If Yang Shouwen was innocent, he might have murderous intentions; but the problem is that Yang Shouwen is now on orders and he is not a fool, how dare he kill his life? He just wants Zheng Keyi to try to stop Yang Shouwen for two days. As long as the fifteenth day of August is over, he will let him back without any harm to him."

"What do you think?"

"I think what King Liang said is true."

"oh?"

"As King Liang said, he was determined to marry the prince and had no other thoughts.

If Yang Shouwen rushed back to Luoyang, if he participated, it would probably ruin his good things... That's why he wanted to block Yang Shouwen from entering Beijing. But if he wanted to kill Yang Shouwen! I said frankly that King Liang would be broken unless his mind was broken."

Wu Zetian smiled and nodded slightly.

"Wan'er. Do you know why I value you?"

"This... I don't know."

"I know that you care about Yang Shouwen and have become someone else's aunt. But I still ask you to investigate this matter because I know that you will deal with it impartially. I am very happy that you have this public intention... Zheng Keyi is a fool. If it weren't for the sake of the daughter, I wouldn't let him take responsibility. But this is fine, and the daughter has nothing to say.

When I pass on my decree, it means that Zheng Keyi is not capable enough to take on important responsibilities.

He was dismissed from his post as the Zhechong Prefecture of Junyi and Zhechong Prefecture. He was demoted to the Yizhi School Captain. He was fined three years of salary, had a scepter of twenty, and then expelled from Luoyang and went home to think about his mistakes. Without my will, he would not be allowed to step out of the house, otherwise he would be punished for deceiving the king."

This punishment is neither too big nor too small, but it is enough to make Zheng Keyi feel uncomfortable.

He is the son of the daughter princess, and his father is a member of the Zheng family of the five major surnames, so he is not short of money. However, he has been demoted from a guerrilla general under the fifth rank to a stern rank Yihui lieutenant above the seventh rank. It is indeed a harsh one! Zheng Keyi is a playboy and likes to live a life of sensuality. He was driven out of Luoyang and thought about his mistakes behind closed doors...that really made him feel uncomfortable.

Shangguan Wan'er hurriedly said, "I understand."

"With the King of Liang, you can pass on my words on my behalf: Yang Shouwen is my minister. If I want him to die, he can die! I am very unhappy about his actions this time. Tell him to punish him for three years of salary. From now on, without my will, he will not be allowed to step out of the house again."

Speaking of this, Wu Zetian suddenly changed his subject.

"Since King Liang had no intention of killing Yang Shouwen, why did Sun Siguan take the initiative to attack?"

"This, I'm still investigating."

Shangguan Wan'er was also a little distressed and secretly blamed herself: Why did you, a child, get so many enemies shortly after you came to Luoyang?

"Well, you have to investigate this matter clearly.

In addition, Gao Jian’s previous memorial said that the route I arranged for southward was exposed, so that they were ambushed in Baishuitang.

Has this matter been a result?"

Shangguan Wan'er hesitated for a moment and said softly: "I have no clue yet."

"Um?"

Wu Zetian gently patted the railing with his palm. Although there was no emotional fluctuation, Shangguan Wan'er understood that she was angry.

"It is not because the saints are not careful, but because they are too complicated.

The saint personally arranged the route to the south. To be honest, there were not many people who knew. In addition to those participants, only the princess, ministers, and King Liang, Prime Minister and the Crown Prince knew about it. King Liang and others should not disclose it, and it would not be beneficial to them. I cannot disclose it... There is only one person left."

"You mean Taiping?"

“This is the problem.”

Shangguan Wan'er looked distressed and said softly: "Taiping is even more likely to disclose this matter. You must know that Erlang is also in that team."

"Who could that be?"

"I have a suspicion, but it's hard to investigate."

When Wu Zetian heard this, his eyes glanced at the bridge.

"Are you talking about Wulang? Yes, their brothers seem to be a little hostile to Yang Shouwen, but they don't know about this matter, and it's even more impossible for them to know the route I planned personally. Wan'er, I just said that you have public intentions, and you disappointed me."

Shangguan Wan'er shook her head repeatedly, "Sage, I am not talking about Brother Wulang."

"oh?"

"I doubt someone around Taiping."

"who?"

"Mu Mingyu."

For Wu Zetian, this is a very strange name.

She looked at Shangguan Wan'er in surprise and said, "Who is Mu Mingyu? I'm so nervous."

"This person appeared next to the princess last year and has been following the princess.

I can see that the princess trusted him very much, and even favored him a little... When the princess assigned the mission that day, Mu Mingyu was also inside. Therefore, he should know about Gao Sheren going south! But it was not because of him who revealed the route, I have not found any evidence yet."

Speaking of this, Shangguan Wan'er hesitated for a moment.

She lowered her voice again and said softly: "However, according to Xiaoluantai spy, Mu Mingyu seems to know Sun Siguan."

Wu Zetian's eyebrows jumped, and a coldness flashed in his eyes.

"In this way, Mu Mingyu is indeed a bit suspicious."

She wandered on the bridge and stopped after a while.

"Wan'er, you can continue to investigate this person. You can capture him if necessary.

Don't tell Taiping about this in advance. I believe that Taiping will not participate in such dirty affairs. This Mu Mingyu's origin is unknown. So be sure to investigate clearly. You should mobilize all the power of Xiaoluantai. You must find out the identity of Mu Mingyu."

"Since the order."

Shangguan Wan'er breathed a light sigh, feeling that the pressure on her body seemed to be relieved a lot at once.

"Then the martial arts of the future..."

"You don't have to worry about this matter. I also want to see how this girl, Guer, ended up."

There was not much anger in her words, but a smile flashed in her cold and fierce phoenix eyes, as if she was quite expectant.

Eastern Palace. In the Prince's Mansion.

Wei looked at Li Guer walking in front of her and felt amused and crying.

This girl is so willful when she makes such a fuss!

Not only did she not stop her, she accompanied her to make trouble. Wei's pampering for Li Guer than anyone else. This is not only because Li Guer is lively and cute, but also because of the thrilling moment when she gave birth to Li Guer. It can be said that Li Guer almost died with her at that time, which also made Wei's contact with her more.

As Li Guer grew up, Wei felt that this girl was becoming more and more like her.

"You can't sit down, be quieter?"

"Why haven't Seven Sisters come back yet?"

Li Guer sat down, but pouted, looking pissed.

Wei was about to persuade him, but suddenly he heard footsteps outside the door.

Li Guer, who had just sat down, seemed to have a spring on her butt, and suddenly rushed out and ran out quickly.

At the same time, a girl in the palace dress came in from outside.

The girl looked extremely weak and had a very outstanding appearance.

Before she could cross the threshold, she was startled by Li Guer who was rushing towards her.

"Guo'er, don't be so crazy, okay?"

"How is it, how is it?"

Li Guer didn't care about the girl's dissatisfaction, and asked with a look of expectation as she held her hand, widened her eyes.

This girl is Li Xian's seventh daughter, and was also born by Wei, and is named Li Xianhui.

She was amused and crying. She looked at Li Guer who was staring at her in front of her, raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and said softly: "Don't worry, Yang Ji has already sent the waist card, and Yang Shouwen has also accepted it..."

"Hehe, I knew he would definitely participate."

"Wu'er, don't be too happy too early."

Li Xianhui hurriedly poured cold water on her, "Although Yang Ji gave him the waist card, he said after he came back that Yang Shouwen's health seemed not very good. It is said that he fell ill after he came back yesterday! Yang Ji said that he was not in good looks, and probably he had not recovered yet... You are not afraid that he would be weak at that time, even if he participated in the martial arts department, he might not win the championship."

"He's sick?"

After hearing this, Li Guer's face changed suddenly.

"Didn't Xiao Gao say, did he look fine when he came back? Why did he get sick?"
To be continued...
