Chapter 114 The Great Crisis

Yao Chong recommended Yue Feng to the inner palace, and he was also a little selfish.

He was a doctor in the Ministry of War and had a lot of daily affairs. He could not afford to offend any of the people in the inner palace. Shangguan Wan'er often summoned him, but he could not refuse.

Now the Tang Dynasty is in a state of turmoil, and everyone in the court is in danger. Yao Chong does not want to have too many ties with the inner palace at this time, and he does not want to be considered an official who seeks superiority by relying on Cuju to curry favor with the queen and close ministers of the emperor. So he hopes to find a replacement from the bottom of his heart, and Yue Feng is just right.

However, he did not expect that Shangguan Wan'er's attitude towards Yue Feng was so resistant. This woman was quite annoyed, but she was helpless, and she was very depressed for a moment.

He pondered for a moment, and was about to try again, a maid hurriedly headed straight to Tingxiang Pavilion. Shangguan Wan'er raised her eyebrows and said softly: "Xiaodie, what's the matter in panic?"

"Not good, Your Highness of the Princess went to Guanfeng Hall and the Queen of Heaven. Sister Tuan'er was so scared that she asked the Attendant to go there quickly..."

"What?" Shangguan Wan'er's face changed drastically, and she waved her hand at Yao Chong and said, "Dr. Yao, that's all for today, I have to leave immediately..."

Shangguan Wan'er trotted straight to Guanfeng Hall. The dough outside Guanfeng Hall and many female guards knelt on the ground and shivered. Shangguan Wan'er went straight to the hall. Princess Taiping in the hall raised her head and kneeled on the cushion with her neck raised. His Majesty Li Dan and Prince Chengqi crawled on the ground. The two were already distracted. Looking at Wu Zetian again, her face was extremely gloomy, her lips were blue, and she looked very terrifying.

Wu Zetian shook his sleeves and overturned a stone inkstone on several tables to the ground. She said, "Okay, they are all against each other! Even you are against each other! Am I very harsh and mean to you? Why do you all want to resist?"

Princess Taiping said, "It's not that we have rebelled, but that you said we have rebelled! What kind of personality is the fourth brother? If you say that the fourth brother has rebelled you, it's better to say that I have rebelled you! The fourth brother is a person who can recite a few sentences of scriptures even if he tramples on an ant to death. How dare he rebelle against you?"

"My mother, you are really angry and want to kill the fourth brother. You might as well kill us all. From now on, no one can rebel against you..."

Princess Taiping's tone was extremely tough, and she actually started to fight with Wu Zetian. When Shangguan Wan'er saw this, she was so scared that she knelt on the ground.

Wu Zetian laughed in a hurry, and pointed at Princess Taiping and said, "Okay, you've gotten more capable! You're so angry with me, and you really can't treat you if you really think I'm? You..."

Wu Zetian was so angry that she pointed at Princess Taiping with her fingers, and the green aura appeared on her face. Shangguan Wan'er quickly stood up and leaned over. It happened that Wu Zetian was angry and wanted to fall down. Shangguan Wan'er quickly supported her, and the whole audience was in chaos.

Shangguan Wan'er said: "Hurry, pass it on to the Imperial Doctor!"

In the warm pavilion of Guanfeng Hall, the imperial physician Shen Nanyu gently helped Wu Zetian sit on the couch and said, "Empress Dowager, you must cherish the phoenix body, don't get angry easily!"

Wu Zetian pursed her lips and said nothing. She looked around and saw Wan'er. Wan'er hurriedly said, "Empress, please calm down, the princess is not trying to get angry on your own! You were sick just now, and she was actually very nervous. She was kneeling outside with His Majesty and dared not get up!"

"Hmph!" Wu Zetian snorted without any ease of expression. Wan'er said again: "The princess's temperament has always been gentle. Today, it is also because of the brother-sister relationship! The ministers of Feng Pavilion in Luantai were waiting outside Guanfeng Hall just now. They also thought that the assassination of the West Palace was very strange, and they could not suddenly determine that this was done by His Majesty..."

Wu Zetian waved his hand and said, "Okay, I know! I also know the ability of his son. Taiping said it is not unreasonable, hey!"

"You go out and let Taiping come in to see me!"

Shangguan Wan'er left the warm pavilion, and Princess Taiping came in immediately. She lowered her head and did not dare to look at Wu Zetian. Looking at her appearance, she was quite haggard, especially the eyeshadow around her eyes was very obvious, her eyes were covered with bloodshot and red.

Wu Zetian stared at her, sighed softly, and said, "You were also present at the time when the matter was assassinated. My life was hanging on the line. If I want to thoroughly investigate this matter, would it be a mistake?"

Taiping lowered his head and said, "My mother, this matter must be thoroughly investigated, but Zhou Xing only knew torture and woven charges. The memorials he wrote were generally discussed and could not convince the public at all. Even I could not convince me. How could he convince the subjects and people in the world?

If the mother wants to investigate this matter, she wants to make a person who is proficient in investigating the case, respected and prestigeful to investigate it. Does Zhou Xing have the ability to investigate the case?"

Wu Zetian said: "Okay, I will follow you, so who can investigate this case?"

Princess Taiping pondered for a moment and said, "Mother, if you really agree to re-invest this case, I recommend Di Renjie, Di Renjie is in charge, I am willing to help. Within one month, we will definitely investigate this case..."

Wu Zetian frowned slightly and fell into hesitation. After a long time, she raised her hand gently and said, "Transfer to Di Renjie!"

Di Renjie was waiting outside the Guanfeng Hall. Today, all kinds of news were flying everywhere. The atmosphere in Ziwei Palace was extremely tense. Almost all the officials from Wenchang Pavilion and Fengge Luantai gathered here. Although Di Renjie has not yet served, when he heard that Li Dan was involved in the assassination of the West Palace, he didn't bother to thank the guests behind closed doors and got up from the bed and entered the palace. He did not expect that he would get Wu Zetian's summons.

"I met Di Renjie, please see the Queen!" Di Renjie said. Although he was old, he was full of energy and was in good spirits.

Wu Zetian said: "Old Di Guo, it's not easy to touch you! I heard that you were ill in bed a few days ago, but I was still worried about it! Today, you are full of energy, what's wrong? Has your condition improved?"

"Queen Tian, ​​I am ashamed! I have been in the capital for so long, but I have never been able to share my worries for the Queen!" Di Renjie said.

Wu Zetian smiled and said, "Okay, since Mr. Di said that, I will give you an errand! Ling Yue, please tell me! Let's ask Mr. Guo to come out to see if he can find out the case clearly and understand?"

Princess Taiping immediately told Di Renjie the whole story. When Di Renjie heard this, his face changed drastically. Then, he knelt directly on the ground and said, "The Queen of Heaven trusts you, Your Highness entrusts you, I dare not ignore your life!

Don’t worry, I will sort out the case within one month, give the queen an explanation, and give the civil and military officials in the court…”

Di Renjie knelt on the ground, and was trembling all over because of excitement. It was obvious that someone was doing something wrong in Li Dan's case. Di Renjie wanted to clear Li Dan's grievances but was not strong enough. Now Wu Zetian handed over the right to handle the case. He had the authority in his hands, so what else could he worry about? This matter is probably confident!
