Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 798 The Eastern Capital Is Moving (2)

"Your Majesty, I have learned from you that the servants are absolutely true to their words, and this is indeed the case."

Seeing Empress Wu's expression was wrong, Cheng Denggao, who was originally terrified, immediately shivered into a ball, kowtowed his head palely, and explained in a trembling voice.

"Go, pass on the order of my palace, seal off the scene, and all those who know about this will be the first to get up!"

After all, Empress Wu was not an ordinary person. After walking back and forth in the room for a few steps, her heart gradually calmed down, her brows raised sharply, and she commanded in a cold voice.

"No, servant girl will do it now."

What Cheng Denggao was worried about was that Empress Wu would take his anger out on him. Seeing that Empress Wu had calmed down, his mood immediately relaxed, he hurriedly responded, got up, turned around, and was about to go out.

"Slow, go, bring Ge Gong here."

Before Cheng Denggao could turn around, Empress Wu suddenly changed her mind.

"No, the servant will obey the order."

Empress Wu yelled these words suddenly, poor Cheng Denggao turned halfway around, and had to turn back again, under the sudden force, his old waist was almost broken, his face was pale with pain, but how dare he stand in front of Empress Wu? There was no show of impoliteness, so he could only forcefully agree to the promise, and hastily left the study room. After a while, he turned back from the outside accompanied by the armored Gar Yingong.

"At the end of the day, I will see the Queen of Heaven!"

Seeing Empress Wu sitting high above him, Gal Yingong didn't dare to be indifferent in the slightest, walked a few steps quickly, rushed to the front, bowed slightly, and performed a standard military salute.

"Excuse me, do you know what happened in Lishui Xuan today, eh?"

Wu Hou raised his hand expressionlessly, and asked casually.

"Returning to the empress, the general was at the scene before, and the matter was urgent, and the general had to order to block the news. Please forgive me if I am good at it."

Although Empress Wu's words were plain and her expression was very indifferent, Gar Yingong keenly caught the flash of sternness in Empress Wu's eyes, and her heart sank unavoidably. Setting up the Lishui Palace was exactly his idea, Gar Yingong. Now that something went wrong, he is undoubtedly the one who should be held accountable. Thinking of Empress Wu's cruelty and ruthlessness, even if Gal Yingong had a tough nerve, he couldn't help but A little heart palpitations, but Gar Yingong is not too scared, after all, in such a field, there are not many people that Empress Wu can rely on, Gar Yingong is confident that he is the best of them Qiao, even if she was punished, it would definitely not be too serious. When answering Empress Wu's questions, she was as calm and confident as usual.

"Do you know what it means, huh?"

Empress Wu ignored Gar Yingong's plea, but asked with gloomy eyes and a gloomy tone.

"The end will know."

Hearing that Empress Wu's words obviously carried the meaning of accountability, Gar Yingong couldn't help but tense again, but soon calmed down again, and replied calmly.

"Say!"

Empress Wu's mood is actually not as calm as it appears on the surface. On the contrary, the current situation is already full of turmoil. The reason why she insists on not showing it is entirely due to the cultivation of energy. If you really let go, you will definitely He would scold Gar Yingong so bloody, and because of this, Empress Wu's speech was extremely short, only one word, but the dissatisfaction in her heart was clearly revealed .

"Returning to your mother's words, the general thought that the ambush must have been revealed. His majesty's illness may have been leaked. The matter has reached a critical moment. If the general's predictions are not bad, the Hexi army must have crossed the Yellow River. Maybe it's time to leave. East is approaching!"

Gar Yingong has never been a person who just sits and waits for death, and he doesn't want to be violently attacked by Empress Wu. Seeing that Empress Wu is on the verge of eruption, he immediately throws out some shocking words to divert Empress Wu's anger .

"What? How is this possible!"

Sure enough, as Gar Yingong expected, as soon as his words came out, Empress Wu suddenly turned pale with fright. She couldn't care less about accusing Gar Yingong of not doing things well. With a sound.

"The end will not dare to speak falsely."

Although there is no evidence, Ke Er Yin Gong believed in his intuition very much. As soon as he found the corpses of the Taoist priest and the maid, he had already started to consider the overall situation. , and he won't change his mind because of it.

"Hmph, alarmist talk, why is this? Is it possible that all the officials in Hexi are deaf? Such a big event, dare not to play it!"

Hearing what Gar Yingong said with such certainty, Empress Wu actually believed it in her heart, but her resentment grew stronger, so she forced herself to scold.

"Your Majesty has taught you the lesson, but the facts may be so. It is not because the local governments have concealed and failed to report, but because the Hexi cavalry soldiers are moving too fast. The states and counties along the way may not even have time to react, and they have already fallen into the hands of thieves. The only thing that can stop them Let's go to the Longguan of the Hexi armies. It's a pity that Li Jingye, a man of great ambition and incompetence, is on the way. The last general dares to assert that the Hexi army will be able to rush to the Eastern Capital within ten days. By then, everything will be over! "

Originally, Gar Yingong only had a vague inference in his mind, but after explaining it, he was convinced by his own rhetoric.

"Um……"

Gar Yingong had explained the truth so clearly, with Empress Wu's IQ, he naturally knew that this was the case, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

"My Majesty, His Majesty has woken up and said that he wants to invite you to meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Empress Wu was flustered and didn't know what to say, and although Gar Yingong had a plan in mind, he didn't intend to rush to speak out, and the study suddenly became strangely quiet. Cheng Denggao, who was outside the study, suddenly rushed into the room, and reported with a strange expression.

"Ok?"

As soon as Gaozong woke up, Empress Wu immediately raised her brows, her face was constantly changing from cloudy to sunny, not for other reasons, but because Gaozong had been in a coma for more than half a month, This sudden waking up was obviously not the result of her illness getting better, but nine times out of ten it was the result of returning to the light. Thinking of this, Empress Wu's originally disturbed mind suddenly became a little more confused.

"Your Majesty, the final general thinks that he must make a decision, and he will be disrupted. The matter is already in danger, and the decision should be made early!"

It doesn't matter if Empress Wu panicked, Gar Yingong couldn't hold his breath anymore, because he pinned all his hopes of revenge on Empress Wu. Once Empress Wu collapsed, how could Li Xian forgive him easily? He went, so he hurriedly remonstrated from the side.

"According to my palace's decree, the Lishui Pavilion is completely sealed off, and no one is allowed to enter or leave without my palace's order!"

After all, Empress Wu was not an ordinary lady. After panicking for a while, she soon came to her senses, gritted her teeth, and shouted orders.

"No, the servant will obey the order."

Now that Empress Wu had issued an order, Cheng Denggao didn't dare to delay a little bit, he hurriedly answered, turned around and rushed out.

"Wait!"

Cheng Denggao had just lifted his foot when Gar Yingong stretched out his hand, blocking his way.

"Huh? What does the Qing family mean by this?"

Seeing Gar Yingong acting like this, Empress Wu immediately frowned and said in extreme displeasure.

"Your Majesty, this matter must not be done with great fanfare. Once the East Palace is disturbed, the consequences may be unimaginable. Please also ask Your Majesty to make a holy decision!"

The situation was urgent, and Gar Yingong didn't care about Empress Wu's feelings, so he hurriedly spoke out to remonstrate.

"Well, whatever, let's drive Lishuixuan!"

Empress Wu is a person who is sober, just thinking about it, she has understood the key point, she will not stick to her own opinion any more, after ordering with a sullen face, she quickly walked out, Gar Yingong and Cheng Denggao Seeing this, I didn't dare to be negligent, and they each raised their heels. After a while, a group of eunuchs and maids of all sizes surrounded the soft chariot of Empress Wu and marched towards Lishui Xuan... I call Mei Niang, call Xianer, go, go!"

In the main bedroom of Lishuixuan, Gaozong, who was reclining on the brocade cushion, yelled impatiently. If he couldn't get out of bed, he would not be able to tell that Gaozong was in a coma just by listening to the sound. patient for half a month.

"Your Majesty, don't be in a hurry. The servants have already sent someone to invite you. Your Majesty and His Royal Highness will arrive soon."

This is the fourth time after Gaozong woke up to urge him. Zhengsun Qiyan, the doctor in the imperial hospital who was in charge of treating Gaozong's illness, was sweating profusely, but he didn't dare to tell the truth, so he could only tell lies over and over again. Prevarication everywhere.

"Xu, it's again! Do you think I'm easy to deceive, you bastard, dare to deceive the king, I'm going to cut off your head, come, come!"

Maybe it was because of a long illness, or maybe it was because he knew that he would die soon. After Gaozong woke up, his temper became very violent. He slapped the brocade cushion under him violently, and yelled angrily, until Sun Qiyan and other imperial physicians were all trembling with ashen faces.

"The Queen of Heaven is here!"

Just when the crowd didn't know what to do, a shrill shout sounded suddenly, and all the imperial physicians who were panicked secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and Gaozong, who was making a fuss, was quiet He got down, and glanced at the screen at the door with piercing eyes.

"The concubine kowtows to His Majesty."

In the sound of footsteps, Empress Wu led a group of eunuchs, big and small, to turn out from the screen, and walked slowly to the couch, facing Emperor Gaozong for a blessing.

"No, no, Mei Niang, you are here, um, where is Xianer?"

As soon as he saw Empress Wu, Gaozong's spirit immediately improved a bit. After he called out, he suddenly found that Li Xian hadn't followed him.

"You all back down!"

After Empress Wu got up, she didn't answer Gaozong's question, but waved her hands without looking back, and pushed back all the left and right screens. As soon as this kind of action came out, Gaozong couldn't help being stunned for a moment. Unexpectedly, he stared at Empress Wu, although he didn't speak, but the intention of inquiring was clearly on his face.
