The Ziwei Palace under the night is deep and mysterious. Wan'er's residence is only a small courtyard near the West Palace. There is only a small bed in the warm pavilion, and there is also a palace lantern that has been lit on it.

Wan'er was lying on the bed, staring at the palace lanterns. In the dark night, everything was silent. Xiaodie was talking to Chief Xu outside. Chief Xu slowly entered the warm pavilion. Wan'er wanted to sit up from the bed, but was stopped by her hands.

"Hidden Zhao, don't move! You have been suffering these days! If I had known Cuju was so painful, I should have asked the queen not to let you participate. Now, you have suffered these days. The inner guards feel distressed when they see it!" said Xu. She was quite old and her words were very serious, which made people feel particularly touched.

Shangguan Wan'er smiled gently and shook her head and said, "Actually, Cuju is good. Yue Silang and others all know the principle of 'the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the cold'. I will be more bitter, but what's the point of everyone suffering?"

Leader Xu smiled and said, "I knew Shangguan Dizhao was a strong man. I will definitely win this Cuju competition!"

Shangguan Wan'er smiled again and said, "Chief, you must have something to come to me tonight, right? You have something to do, but you say it's okay. Wan'er can do it, and if you can't do it, you can find a way to do it for you. OK?"

Leader Xu was slightly stunned for a moment, smiled awkwardly, and said, "There is nothing to do! But today in Guanfeng Hall, I witnessed the meeting between the elder Di Guo and the Queen of Heaven with my own eyes. I couldn't calm down for a long time and couldn't fall asleep at night, so I thought about saying a few words to the King of Heaven!"

"Oh? The old soldiers in Di State are at home. Did you actually come to see the queen today?" Shangguan Wan'er said.

Leader Xu sighed lightly and said, "Attack, the capital has been surging recently, and the palace is even more in a panic. Under such circumstances, everyone in the court's civil and military affairs will be in danger. Even if Old Di Guo was really sick, he would probably find it difficult to recover from his illness!"

Shangguan Wan'er frowned slightly and didn't say anything. The relationship between her and Xu Chihuang was actually not close. Xu Chihuang was Wu Zetian's confidant. She had to be alert and careful when talking about these sensitive issues.

Leader Xu sighed for a moment and said, "A few of us prime ministers have put their lives on this Cuju. Do you know what the Attack?"

"Ah..." Shangguan Wan'er exclaimed, and a bright light flashed in her eyes: "Why did Chief Xu say that? Wan'er really doesn't know about this, and I hope the leader can speak out..."

Xu Chihuang immediately took Di Renjie as a lobbyist when he saw Wu Zetian asking for an order. Then Di Renjie lobbled Li Zhaode and others and told Shangguan Wan'er that all the feedback was said to Shangguan Wan'er. Shangguan Wan'er was so shocked that her face turned pale. She suddenly sat up from the bed and said, "This...this...this...why is this? Why is this..."

Li Zhaode, Cen Changqian and other prime ministers Shangguan Wan'er are the most familiar. They have had many contacts and dealings with Shangguan Wan'er on weekdays. Shangguan Wan'er has learned a lot from them and usually respects them with etiquette.

Now they actually put their lives on the next Cuju competition between the Cuju army of the Inner Guard and the Cuju army of the Princess' Mansion. This... is so unbelievable.

Xu Chihuang said: "Do not be excited, listen to me to tell you in detail! Li Xiang and Cen Xiang both talk about the will of heaven. Isn't the victory or defeat of Cuju the will of heaven? The Queen of Heaven believes in Buddhism and talks about fate in Buddhism. Isn't the victory or defeat of Cuju the same way as fate? Therefore, the battle between the Cuju army of the inner guard and the Princess's Mansion has become a battle of fate. Hey, this is really unexpected!"

Shangguan Wan'er stared at the Gong Deng in a daze. After a long time, she said, "Chief, Wan'er understands what you mean! Don't worry, Li Xiang and Cen Xiang are all gentlemen, and they are pillars of the country. Wan'er treats them as my teacher. This time, Wan'er will do her best and do her best to win the Cuju army in the Princess's Mansion!"

When Shangguan Wan'er said this, the sad face on her face could no longer be melted. She always regarded Cuju as just a game, and even if she participated in Cuju, it was because of her strong temperament.

In addition, she also knew one thing, that is, Wu Zetian was as strong as a person. As long as he was Douju, the inner guard Cuju army would not be embarrassed. Otherwise, the queen would not be happy. Therefore, Wan'er practiced Cuju hard and went on the battle herself. With this, she wanted to further consolidate her position in Wu Zetian's heart.

But now Shangguan Wan'er feels extremely heavy in her heart, because she thought that a Cuju competition would affect the lives of several prime ministers. In addition, she had heard that Wu Zetian had long regarded Cuju as the last time to showdown. There must be more unexpected changes when she turned around. If the Cuju army in the inner guard was defeated...

Xu Chihuang said: "Shangguan Kaizhao, you have a break early. I want to talk to you and chat with you. I told you about this and felt much more comfortable in my heart. I will take my leave first!"

After Xu Chihuang said that, he slowly stepped back. Shangguan Wan'er stared at the palace lantern, and she was completely confused. She even forgot to greet Xiaodie and see him off.

Xu Chihuang left, how could Shangguan Wan'er still sleep? Lying on the bed, her eyes were like copper bells, and her thoughts were flying in her mind.

She especially thought about her Shangguan family. The Shangguan family was also the family of prime ministers back then. Wan'er's grandfather Shangguan Yi was a celebrity under Emperor Gaozong. At that time, she was convicted of offending the queen of heaven and the whole family was killed. Wan'er was also convicted of Yeyouting.

In Yeyouting, Shangguan Wan'er has never given up since she was a child and has been enduring humiliation and working diligently until she was discovered and trained by Wu Zetian. This process is undoubtedly painful. She can reach today and have her current status. Her efforts are also huge!

This includes her own efforts, her luck, and she was lucky enough to meet her teacher and help her. Otherwise, she would not know what she would be now!

In a place like Yeyouting, Shangguan Wan'er now looks at her peers back then. Many of them have died in humiliation, and most of them who have not died have become walking corpses. When she sees these people, she will think of herself and often feels chilled because of this.

Therefore, she often lights a palace lantern when she sleeps, because she often wakes up in nightmare in the middle of the night. If it is dark after waking up, she will be afraid and then no longer be able to fall asleep!
