Chapter 47 What is your fault?
"You are back so soon? The emperor hasn't woken up yet."
Chunxiang, who had been waiting outside the bedroom, saw Zhang Lin and the others coming back so quickly, a look of regret flashed slightly in her eyes, and she said with a slight smile. From the bottom of her heart, she wanted them not to come back. If she really wanted to come back, at least when the emperor woke up and found that they were not there, there would be a good show.
Zhang Lin breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Shangguan Wan'er. Under the latter's gaze, he pushed the door and entered the bedroom. He found that Wu Zetian was still lying flat on the dragon couch and sleeping soundly. He unconsciously put the emperor's order back into the dragon robe.
But this breath just relaxed and tightened again!
He was scared by Shangguan Wan'er's bad story about being Di Renjie, and forgot something extremely serious: the emperor was knocked out by him, and he would definitely remember this matter when he woke up. At that time, Long Yan was furious and would pursue his great disrespect! If it was enlarged, it could also be said to be the crime of regicide! That was a death sentence!
It seems that no matter how it is, it cannot escape death.
Alas, I'm still dead!
He covered his head with his hands and paced back and forth in the bedroom, worried and spent the time like years.
After an hour, Wu Zetian had not woken up yet. The sky outside was already dark, and lights were lit everywhere in the palace.
Shangguan Wan'er left and went to Linde Hall to inform the Turkic envoy Shibi Khan that the emperor had something to do and could not help him, so the meeting was delayed until tomorrow morning.
Although Shibi Khan, who had been waiting for most of the day, was unhappy and could only agree with a wry smile without expressing any objection.
...
It was not until more than three hours later that Wu Zetian woke up slowly, but she was still sleepy and motionless, and her body was in an extremely lazy state.
"Your Majesty, I am guilty!" Zhang Lin, who had been waiting all night, knelt down in front of the bed and apologized after Wu Zetian woke up. He traveled through time from later generations and knew a truth, be frank and lenient, and resisted and strict.
"What are you guilty?" Wu Zetian opened his phoenix eyes, turned to look at Zhang Lin, and asked in confusion.
"I..." Zhang Lin didn't know what to say, but to be honest, he said that he had knocked the emperor out of touch... But the emperor had no intention of prosecution. He took the initiative to tell the crime, wouldn't he be seeking death? Zhang Lin was not tired of living.
"Your Majesty. A token fell out of the dragon robe just now. I thought it was fun, so I took it outside to play." Zhang Lin thought for a while, and carefully verbally explained it. He knew that Zhang Jianzhi was likely to report to the emperor about his entry into the palace with the Emperor's Order. This was impossible to hide. It would be better to take it out and report it to the emperor in advance. He said that playing outside for a while was equivalent to confessing this matter. Although it was very general, it was admitted after all.
"This is not a big deal." Wu Zetian said gentle and kindly. In Wu Zetian's opinion, what Zhang Lin said was outside the bedroom. If she knew that Zhang Lin had arrived at the front hall, she might not have such a good attitude.
Wu Zetian's words were equivalent to eliminating all the crimes of Zhang Lin's private stealing order outside the palace and almost escaping, because Zhang Lin was confessed no matter what. If he pursued it later, it would be that your Majesty, you have a wrong understanding.
"Thank you for your forgiveness! But I..." Zhang Lin stopped talking.
"This sleep is so comfortable!"
Wu Zetian seemed not interested in what Zhang Lin wanted to say. He opened his arms, stretched his waist wide, and shouted happily like a child.
"Ah?" Zhang Lin was very surprised and couldn't believe his ears. After being electrocuted, the emperor not only did not remember his crime, but instead felt comfortable sleeping. What happened to be such a strange thing?
I'm safe and it's okay! It's God's blessing, so I'm going to bring down my miracle and cover up my heinous crimes! Zhang Lin almost cheered.
"Help me get up." Wu Zetian said in a gentle tone. This was not a big order, it seemed to be a negotiation or a request.
"Yes." Zhang Lin was happy to serve. A big storm of beheading passed by luck. What can I do if I do a little coolie?
"What time is it now?" When Zhang Lin was serving and put on the dragon robe, Wu Zetian looked around and found two candles in the room, the light was a little dim, and the sky outside was completely dark, so he couldn't help but ask.
"Your Majesty, let me ask." Zhang Lin opened the door of the bedroom and asked the eunuchs and palace maids waiting outside about the time now.
"Your Majesty, it's Yinchu now." Chunxiang answered on behalf of others and led several palace maids in, each busy, lighting up all the candles in the bedroom. This time, the entire bedroom shines like daytime.
"Yinchu? I remember it was coming soon. I have been sleeping for more than six hours?" Wu Zetian was a little disbelief.
"Yes, your majesty." Haruka replied.
"Ah, it's so good, it's incredible!" Wu Zetian smiled. It was already quite good that she could sleep for an hour in a hurry before, but she didn't expect that this time, she slept soundly for six hours in one breath, and didn't have a nightmare in between, which was a miracle.
Wu Zetian's sleep quality has always been very bad. She always finds difficulty falling asleep after going to bed. After falling asleep, she often has nightmares. She dreams of having an unjust soul seeking life and being plagued by monsters. She scared her to wake up in the middle of the night, her heart was terrified and lost her soul, and she did not dare to close her eyes, which made her whole body and mind fall into haggardness and depression.
She asked the monk to exorcist in the bedroom to exorcize ghosts, but no results were achieved. According to the method of collecting yang proposed by one of the great masters, she widely invited young men to the palace to serve the bed, and used pure yang energy to resist the yin energy. Although she received certain effects, she did not eliminate the nightmare. It was still common to wake up from a nightmare in the middle of the night.
Today I have a peaceful and refreshing sleep here with Zhang Lin. Can Wu Zetian be unhappy?
Zhang Lin blinked at Shangguan Wan'er, implying that the storm had passed, which made the latter breathe a sigh of relief. You should know that Shangguan Wan'er accompanied Zhang Lin to the front hall and held the imperial order in public, so her relationship with him would not be much smaller than that of Zhang Lin.
Chunxiang was attracted to the scene of the two people's eyes, but she did not make any statement, and even pretended not to see it.
After Wu Zetian finished dressing, he regained his spirit of emperor. In front of Shangguan Wan'er and others, he said, "I granted Xiu'an Zhang Lin the proofreader. I rewarded 100 taels of gold."
That's OK?
Your Majesty was shocked by my electricity. Not only did he not cure me, but he instead granted me official position and rewarded me with gold. This is really unreasonable!
Could it be that Your Majesty's brain was burned out by the Seven-Star Magic Stick?
"Your Majesty, what is this?" Zhang Lin didn't believe his ears and eyes, and he actually stretched out three fingers foolishly, wandered in front of Wu Zetian, and asked seriously.
