Shangyang Palace, a secluded place.

"You said Princess Anle and the Third Prince played Zhang Lin? And were there any assassins who wanted to assassinate Zhang Lin at the banquet, but Wan'er discovered it?"

Chunxiang asked anxiously that, as the chief official of the Internal Affairs, although he was Wu Zetian's close friend, he was not qualified to attend the banquet held in Liangyi Hall. Therefore, he could only learn about the size of the banquet from Xing'er, and Xing'er of course asked from other palace maids.

"Yes.

The princess dressed as a Persian actress, while the third prince pretended to be a little dwarf, and accompanied Zhang Lin at the banquet. If the third prince hadn't been too excited and shook his head and shook his wig off, he might have even concealed it.

"When Zhang Lin was singing, a hidden weapon suddenly fell from the sky and flew to his vital point. At the critical moment, Shangguan Wan'er, who was accompanying him, stepped forward and rushed out of the slant, decisively stretched out the pipa, blocked the hidden weapon halfway. Zhang Lin had nothing to do, but the pipa was probably ruined." Xing'er preached vividly, with a sense of regret on her face.

"Really?" Chunxiang's eyes lit up, and she was very excited. She paced back and forth, rubbed her hands constantly. The regret of not seizing Shangguan Wan'er's handkerchief in Cuiyang Palace disappeared without a trace.

The pipa was a tribute from the Yuezhi Kingdom that year, and it was priceless. The emperor gave it to Wan'er because Wan'er was good at playing the pipa. She always regarded it as a treasure. Today, in order to save Zhang Lin, she actually ignored her beloved pipa? There is a lot of articles to do here!

"By the matter of pipa, you can bring down Shangguan Wan'er in one fell swoop. It seems that God is really helping me, haha..." Thinking of the joy, Chunxiang couldn't help laughing wildly...

"It wasn't that the assassin incident happened. I didn't know that Shangguan Wan'er could do martial arts." Xing'er said to herself, and her eyes showed a look of admiration for Shangguan Wan'er.

Judging from the posture of Shangguan Wan'er's move reposted by other palace maids, she is not just as simple as martial arts. Her martial arts can be said to be superb, but Xing'er will not say this.

"What's the point of knowing martial arts? Don't you do it?" Chunxiang sneered. She knew in her heart that the maids under her secretly admire Shangguan Wan'er, which was understandable, and she also admired her, but her ambition to replace the latter overshadowed the admiration.

"Sister Chunxiang, what are you going to let the maid do next?" Xing'er realized her disobedience and quickly regained her shared hatred for Shangguan Wan'er on her face and volunteered.

"Let me think..." Haruka paced back and forth, frowned and thought, wanting to decide on the next plan.

Chunxiang and Shangguan Wan'er are both senior female officials in the harem, but the latter's status is higher than her and far surpassed her in terms of limelight. Therefore, Chunxiang's jealousy of the latter is not a matter of one or two days. She wished she would defeat the latter as soon as possible and take the position of the head of the female officials in the harem, but she never found an opportunity.

The appearance of Zhang Lin and the entanglement between him and Shangguan Wan'er made Chunxiang feel that the opportunity has come... However, the assassin incident happened.

After thinking for a quarter of an hour, Chunxiang sighed regretfully, "This was an excellent opportunity. However, the guest incident was targeted at Zhang Lin, and the emperor would definitely investigate it. If we use the pipa as a matter of writing, it may arouse Your Majesty's suspicion and encounter Wuwang's involvement. It seems that we can only temporarily stop and wait until the stakes are in the limelight."

Could Sister Chunxiang be so angry? If the assassin incident was not related to Zhang Lin, would Shangguan Wan'er come to rescue him? If Shangguan Wan'er doesn't come to rescue him, would she reveal such a big flaw?

Although Xing'er thought so in her heart, she still showed a surprised expression on the surface: "Sister Chunxiang plans to let Shangguan Wan'er go?"

"That's not." Chunxiang curled her lips and showed a sly smile, saying, "It's only temporary to restrain yourself. During this period, you still have to secretly look for handkerchiefs, which is the ironclad evidence that Shangguan Wan'er had an affair with Zhang Lin..."

...

When Wu Zetian was in a state of turmoil, what happened at the banquet spread like wildfire and spread inside and outside the palace and in the streets and alleys of the god capital Luoyang.

What people like is not how superb Zhang Yizhi's illusion is, nor how powerful Zhang Changzong's flute is, nor how novel Zhang Lin's singing is, but how the two princes surnamed Wu flatter the two harems in public, and how the princess and princess are willing to be driven by Zhang Lin.

When talking about this matter with relish, the focus of people is not the purpose of the two princes surnamed Wu to flatter the two Zhangs, nor is it the reason why the two counties are willing to be driven by Zhang Lin, but... the appearance of the three Zhangs.

The reason why San Zhangs were able to win such honor is because they were favored by the emperor and the core reason why they were favored by them is because they had a unique and handsome appearance.

Some people who are good at thinking have concluded an important conclusion and regard it as a guideline:

"Face head, face head, face head! The baby must have a good face! Face face is better than anything else!"

...

Cuiyang Palace.

The situation that happened at the banquet had long been spread to Cuiyang Palace. When they heard that the palace maid Guer and the young eunuch Sanlang were the princess and the third princes, the group of servants in Cuiyang Palace were shocked. At this moment, in their eyes, Zhang Lin, the proofreader, was as mysterious and noble as a god. They looked at Zhang Lin with a look of worship.

After learning about Guer and Sanlang's true identities, Zhang Lin himself was not surprised at all.

When he first met Guer, he felt that this woman was not an ordinary palace maid. She looked more like Wu Zetian than Princess Taiping. However, he did not think deeply or associate it in this direction.

The Sanlang who knew that the waist drum was Li Longji, the King of Linzi, who would later become Emperor Xuanzong of Tang. Zhang Lin felt happy, but he was not in a state of ecstasy. Because he was in the current position, he saw all the royal family, such as Princess Taiping, and Li Xian, the King of Luling. It was nothing more than a Li Longji.

When he discovered that Xiao Liuzi was Gao Lishi, he had imagined in his heart that he might meet the future Emperor Xuanzong of Tang in the future. He did not expect that he would really meet him, and in this way.

It seems that I can only survive for a while, and wait for Saburo to become the emperor and Gao Lishi to become the eunuch in front of the imperial court, then I will have a backer in this god.

After the joy, I felt deeply anxious because I thought of the assassination in public.

It was too thrilling at that time. If Shangguan Wan'er hadn't taken action in time, she would have explained it herself. Thinking of this, Zhang Lin felt scared.

In the palace with strict defense, at the scene where the emperor and princes and ministers gather together, how could the assassin target me, a trivial person? This is too worthy of me?

If the assassin acted as a sensation just because he hated his face, why not attack the two most powerful Zhangs in the harem, or others, why are they targeting me who is powerless and powerless? Could it be that the assassin is also snobbish?

Obviously, the assassin was targeting me alone.

I am a newcomer, who did I offend and actually take my life?

Zhang Lin's eyes lit up, and the scene of a conflict with Zhang Jianzhi at the south gate of the palace appeared in his mind.

Could it be that Zhang Jianzhi, the one who assassinated me?

It’s not that even a little conflict will make Zhang Jianzhi, the prime minister, take my life with a sinister and vicious assassination method? It doesn’t make sense.

Besides, Zhang Jianzhi is a white-haired civil servant, so how can he fire hidden weapons in front of everyone without being noticed?

If it weren't for Zhang Jianzhi, who would it be? I don't know anyone else, and who would assassinate me without any grudges?

Zhang Lin pointed his index finger at his temple and paced back and forth in the hall.

He turned around countless times but couldn't figure out who was going to assassinate him. His face was covered with sorrow and his temples were poked red.

"The proofreader, Lord Chunxiang is asking for a visit." Xiaomei came to Zhang Lin from outside the hall and said in a sweet voice.

"Who is Chunxiang?" Zhang Lin said in surprise. His voice was hoarse. He was too hard when singing. His vocal cords were greatly damaged and he could not recover within three or four days.

"Chunxiang is the female official next to the emperor, and she is the same as Lord Shangguan." Xiaomei replied with a pleasant smile.

"What are she doing?" Zhang Lin was puzzled. He neither knew Chunxiang nor had any contact.

"It is said that I came to visit you at the order of the Emperor."

"Please, please." Zhang Lin said helplessly. Since he was in the palace, he could not offend the female officials around the emperor.

"Yes." Xiaomei agreed and walked out with a light step.
