Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 799 The Eastern Capital Is Moving (3)

"His Majesty……"

After screening all the people in the bedroom and leaving the palace, Empress Wu did not speak in a hurry, but stared at Gaozong for a long time, and then called softly, and tears flowed before she spoke.

"Meiniang, you, this is..."

What Emperor Gaozong was most afraid of was Empress Wu's tears. Even though he was wondering what Empress Wu's intention was to keep everyone away, when he saw Empress Wu's tears streaming down his face, all doubts had long since disappeared, and all that remained was Being at a loss and flustered, if it wasn't bad for walking, I'm afraid he would have jumped up already.

"No, it's okay, I'm just happy, Your Majesty's body is healthy, no matter how hard it is, it's worth it."

Seeing that Gaozong was in a hurry, Empress Wu's eyes immediately flashed a gleam of brilliance, but what appeared to be flustered, wiped away her tears in a hurry, and replied meaningfully.

"That's good, that's good. Alas, I'm afraid that my body is useless. If it weren't for Mei Niang to support me these years, the court situation would have been corrupted. I'm sorry."

Empress Wu's words were ambiguous, but at this time Gaozong's mind was not in the court situation at all, so how could he understand Empress Wu's painstaking efforts, so he was only complaining about the complicated government affairs when Empress Wu was, and the sense of guilt suddenly arose in his heart , and sighed with apologetic expression on his face.

"His Majesty."

Empress Wu's original intention was not to complain, but to use it to cut into the topic of the court situation. However, Gaozong's misunderstanding was a good thing for her. Take this opportunity to write a big article, with Empress Wu's ability, I will not miss this opportunity, but seeing Empress Wu's body rushing forward, she seemed to be grateful, but at the same time she fell down in panic, squatting down. As soon as he stretched out, he covered Gaozong's mouth, and looked up at Gaozong's eyes with tears in his eyes. If he hadn't been a little older, he would have been quite charming.

"Meiniang, I have known you for more than [-] years and have gone through countless ups and downs. Now, I am afraid that I will not be able to accompany Aiqing any longer. I..."

Empress Wu waited for the little bird to behave like a human being. If others saw it, I'm afraid they would be surprised and inexplicable, but Gaozong just took such a set, and under the warmth in his heart, he suddenly seemed to have returned to decades ago. Feeling agitated, he stretched out his hand to hold Empress Wu's hand, feeling emotional again.

"Your Majesty, you will get better, concubine..."

Although Empress Wu was a vicious person, but in front of Gaozong's affection, her heart softened, and she hurriedly tried to comfort Gaozong, but before she finished speaking, Gaozong stretched out his hand to cover her mouth lightly.

"Meiniang, don't talk about it, I know my body, it's just a matter of a few days, heh, I have destroyed countless countries in my life, and I can be ashamed of my heart, even if my ancestors, I'm afraid I can't find fault with me, my whole life is worth it! The only person who can't worry about it is you, Mei Niang."

Gaozong embraced Empress Wu emotionally, patted Empress Wu on the back tenderly, and spoke with worry.

"Your Majesty, my concubine is willing to go with His Majesty."

Empress Wu actually didn't have much love for Gaozong, but after decades of husband and wife, there is still some affection. Seeing Gaozong being so excited, Empress Wu couldn't help but feel a little sad in her heart, and what she said would bring out her feelings. some sincerity.

"Meiniang doesn't have to be like this. I'm not a faint king. How can I be buried as a martyr? Don't mention this matter again!"

Although Gaozong was moved by Empress Wu's burial, he didn't take it seriously, so he pretended to be displeased and uttered his words.

"Your Majesty, my concubine, my concubine..."

Empress Wu's words were originally half-truths and half-false. After Gao Zong stopped him, the truth was a little bit more, but the element of acting was still there, and she looked at Gao Zong with tears in her eyes, and seemed to be choked up. He couldn't say a complete sentence, but the affection in his eyes seemed to overflow.

"Meiniang, you have been so strong all your life. You have never been willing to let others go, so I can tolerate it. Now, I am going to go. You can't just be brave anymore. You are very human, Wen Taowu They are all outstanding, even if compared to the former emperor, they are not much less, with him, the country will have no worries, Meiniang has worked so hard for so many years, it is time to rest, those annoying government affairs, can I just ignore them All right."

Gaozong lovingly stretched out his hand to help Wu, wiped the tears from his cheeks, and exhorted him carefully in the tone of explaining to future generations. Although the words were gentle, the meaning in the words was already clear, that is to say Empress Wu handed over power.

"Your Majesty, the concubine would like to calm down and make peace with others, but why should I show him, hey, I don't know what to say to your majesty."

Power is the lifeblood of Empress Wu. If she is asked to hand over power, it is her life. Let alone Gaozong, it is even possible that the king of heaven is here. After hearing Gaozong's words, naturally he refused to accept the order , with a flash of light in his eyes, he lowered his head sadly, and said with a resentful expression.

"Huh? What does Mei Niang mean by this?"

Gao Zong knew the sharp conflict between Empress Wu and Li Xian very well. In fact, this was also the result of Gao Zong's intentional or unintentional promotion. Wrinkled involuntarily, hesitatingly asked.

"Your Majesty, you don't know something. Xianer, he... Hey, the Hexi army is about to arrive in Luoyang. I am incompetent, and the court situation has been corrupted here. I am ashamed of your majesty's favor. Your Majesty, my concubine! You deserve death, my concubine, woo woo..."

Empress Wu saw that Gaozong had only one fundamental purpose, and that was to set up an ambush from Gaozong's hands to get a sharp weapon against Li Xian—a will. Understand.

"what?"

Hearing this, Gaozong's body suddenly shook, and he exclaimed with a look of astonishment on his face.

"Your Majesty, this concubine dare not speak in vain. This is the truth. This concubine has failed His Majesty's great trust. This concubine will die forever, my lord."

It is necessary to strike while the iron is hot. Seeing Gao Zong panic, Empress Wu immediately cried mournfully, looking like she was dying.

"Zhuzi, Zhuzi, hey, forget it, forget it, I, I..."

Gaozong had always been afraid of the military power in Li Xian's hands, and he was afraid of Li Xian's reckless recklessness, but he didn't expect such a thing to happen despite all precautions, and he was so angry that he didn't think about it. Whether it is true or not, he was so suppressed that his face turned purple, he tried hard angrily, and sat up straight, after a few curses, just when he was about to say something, he couldn't catch his breath, and his eyes widened , the person has fallen heavily on the brocade mat.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

Empress Wu angered Gaozong in order to get the edict, but she didn't expect Gaozong to be so angry. She was startled and didn't care about pretending to cry. She hurriedly grabbed Gaozong's body and exclaimed twice Afterwards, seeing that Gaozong didn't respond at all, he panicked suddenly, and stretched out his hand tremblingly to check Gaozong's breath, only to find that Gaozong was dead!
"what……"

Although he knew that Gaozong's sobriety was just a flashback, when Gaozong died, Empress Wu couldn't help being flustered. With a cry of surprise, she took three steps back and looked at Gaozong with a distorted face. The eyes of Chen's corpse were shining brightly. After standing silently for a long time, he gritted his teeth and took out a yellow silk masked imperial decree from his wide sleeves. Lifting Gaozong's arm hanging down by the side of the couch, he quickly took out a box of cinnabar, pressed Gaozong's index finger into the box, dipped most of his fingers, and pressed heavily on the imperial decree.

"Ugh……"

After finishing everything, Empress Wu did not leave in a hurry, nor did she speak out to summon all the people behind, but took a few big steps back, away from the wooden couch, looking at Gaozong on the couch with a complicated expression, and finally , let out a long sigh of unknown meaning, turned around, and walked out of the room without looking back.

"The minister waits to see the empress!"

The people waiting outside the palace had been waiting impatiently for a long time, but no one had the guts to disrupt the meeting between Empress Wu and Emperor Gaozong, so they could only wait outside obediently. Seeing Empress Wu finally came out In the dormitory, everyone's spirits were refreshed, so they dared not neglect to go, and they paid respects to each other incessantly.

"Cheng Denggao!"

Empress Wu didn't pay attention to everyone's salutation, but drank coldly.

"The servant is here!"

Cheng Denggao was already kneeling at the forefront of the crowd, but when he heard Empress Wu calling his name, he hurriedly took a few steps on his knees and replied loudly.

"Your Majesty is tired and has already fallen into a sound sleep. No one should disturb you. My palace orders you to take care of me here, and there must be no mistakes!"

Wu Hou glanced at Cheng Denggao with a slightly cold expression, and gave the order in an unquestionable tone.

"The slaves obey the orders!"

Even though he wondered how Empress Wu would make such a weird edict, under Empress Wu's consistent prestige, Cheng Denggao did not dare to have the slightest doubt, so he could only respectfully agree to the promise.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

As the doctor of the Imperial Hospital, Sun Qiyan naturally shouldered a heavy responsibility. Although he was also shocked by the majesty of Empress Wu at this moment, in the end, the concern for the health of the dragon's body still prevailed, so he bit the bullet and walked away from the sidelines. He stood up and tried to find out the truth, but before he finished speaking, he was shocked by Empress Wu's cold eyes, and he couldn't say anything later.

"Ge Aiqing come with me!"

Empress Wu didn't blame Sun Qiyan for his recklessness, nor did she pay attention to the anxious faces shown by all the people. After giving orders calmly, she lifted her foot and walked to a side room not far away.

"The end will follow the order!"

Gar Yingong is a person with seven orifices and an exquisite heart. Seeing Empress Wu's behavior, he was taken aback, but he didn't dare to say more, he respectfully agreed, and followed behind Empress Wu in a well-behaved manner.
