Chapter 29: Offending the Queen
Qin Shaoyou wanted to refuse, but Shangguan Wan'er did not give him the chance to refuse. She carried her hands behind her back and left first.
Qin Shaoyou thought about it and became more courageous. He was a big man, so why should he be afraid of it!
I quickly followed Shangguan Wan'er and arrived outside the palace. I had already prepared a car, but there was no car specially prepared for Qin Shaoyou. I had no choice but to squeeze in with Shangguan Wan'er.
The two were in the incense carriage, and Qin Shaoyou was sitting in a dangerous position, looking like Liu Xiahui.
But Shangguan Wan'er held her hands and closed her eyes and pretended to sleep.
Seeing her eyelashes tremble slightly, Qin Shaoyou knew that she was not really asleep. Most of the time, she was observing herself carefully. Qin Shaoyou simply said, "Stop pretending, Miss Shangguan, let's study the prince."
Shangguan Wan'er opened her eyes and curled her lips and said, "What are you studying?"
Qin Shaoyou said dissatisfiedly: "You asked me to go to Huaiyuan Post, you should let me know what happened, right? That prince is seriously ill. In Luoyang City, there are so many princes. What kind of princes do you have to work to visit him personally?"
Shangguan Wan'er said lazily: "This prince is not surnamed Li, but a Persian prince."
It turned out to be an international friend... Qin Shaoyou suddenly realized.
Shangguan Wan'er continued: "This man was originally the prince of the Persian king, but because his father was convicted, he finally fled to Luoyang. He also hoped that our Great Zhou could lend him troops, saying that the king was stupid and incompetent. His uncle was not a real Persian royal family, but was born to a concubine. He was clever and arrogant and got the position of prince, so he wanted to borrow troops to fight back to Persia and regain the country that should belong to their father and son."
Qin Shaoyou laughed, international friends seemed a little naive, borrowing soldiers...
Shangguan Wan'er showed a sad look and said, "Originally, Your Majesty didn't value him, but he just let Huaiyuanyi stay in the captive position. Anyway, he could not waste a few food. But just a few months ago, news came that the Persian king died, and his uncle should have ascended the throne, but he was opposed by the people, causing rebellion. The rebels embraced his father ascended the throne. In the blink of an eye, His Highness became the crown prince. It is said that the envoy of Persia has set out to welcome the prince back and reunite with the new Persian king..."
Qin Shaoyou was stunned, with such a complicated look. This low-level international friend became a treasure in a blink of an eye. Even though he didn't know much about the situation in Persia, he knew that this prince must have become the legal heir of Persia now. Persia is now at its peak. The eastern border even borders border with the Anxi Protectorate of the Tang Dynasty, and this grandson is about to make a fortune.
For the Great Zhou, the situation was not optimistic since Wu Zetian ascended the throne. First, some royal families and local governors rebelled. Although they had been suppressed, many royal families and officials in the border areas had their own ulterior motives. The Turks and Tubos who fled to the west launched a war with the Great Zhou two years ago. They thought they wanted to take advantage of the chaos. I believe that for Wu Zetian at this time, it would be extremely important if he could maintain a good relationship with Persia.
No wonder... His Royal Highness the prince was seriously ill. If he died in Luoyang, who could clearly explain this matter? If there were Tubo or Western Turks who used this to provoke the relationship between Persia and the Great Zhou, then I am afraid that the Anxi Protectorate will be in peace again. Once the court gathers heavy troops to maintain the stability of the Western Regions, will some internal royal families and the forces supporting the Li family miss this opportunity?
Qin Shaoyou suddenly realized that it was good to read books. After thinking about it suddenly, he found that a big deal could cause such terrible consequences. Wu Zetian certainly understood the key, so he suddenly went to Huaiyuanyi. It doesn’t matter whether the prince’s death or life is alive. In other words, if you are so dying, you can only die in Luoyang.
Shangguan Wan'er looked at Qin Shaoyou deeply, and saw Qin Shaoyou frowning sometimes, biting her fingers and pondering. She knew that Qin Shaoyou seemed to have figured out the joints. She couldn't help but think: "This guy first completely defeated the Zhou family, and then even had the value of being used by His Majesty. It seems that it was not luck, but..." But what? Shangguan Wan'er's eyes turned and she thought of a word: "Cunning! Qin Shaoyou is really not a thing!"
Not long after, Huaiyuan Post arrived.
Huaiyuan Post is affiliated to the Honglu Temple and is an institution for the Honglu Temple to entertain international friends.
This place covers a large area. After all, this is the Great Zhou Dynasty and the continuation of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. There are more international friends than dogs. If Qin Shaoyou finds a high tower and throws a hammer from above, the probability of international friends being killed is probably no less than 10%. Of course, Qin Shaoyou is a quality person, and at most he just spits under the tower. He will definitely refuse to do things that are harmful to the sky.
There were many guards outside the gate, and from a distance, you saw the dragon chasing in front of the gate. When these guards saw Shangguan Wan'er, they dared not stop them. Shangguan Wan'er was in front, and Qin Shaoyou followed her step by step, and soon passed through countless Chongyi Gate and Corner Tower. From now on, he could hear the voice of reprimand: "As the Minister of the Honglu Temple, you are in charge of all the barbarians and kings, and you are all arranged and taken care of by the kings and envoys. How could you get to this situation? Lu Sheng, do you know your guilt?"
Following this sound, Shangguan Wan'er had already stepped into an attic, and Qin Shaoyou also followed her in.
In this small hall, Wu Zetian dressed up and looked graceful and generous, but today, her pretty face with makeup was implicit intent, which almost made an official under her feet paralyzed.
"Your Majesty, Prince Balus is worried about his homeland, so he becomes sick by suffering..."
"Enough!" Wu Zetian sneered and said, "I have led you as my confidant and entrust you with great things. What else do you want to argue about now?"
"I have died." Dali Temple Minister Lu Sheng looked miserable.
Wu Zetian's eyes just glanced lightly and saw Shangguan Wan'er and Qin Shaoyou who came into the building. She was furious and ignored them, but instead turned her eyes on a long couch inside the building.
The curtain on the couch had been rolled up, and a person was asleep on his head, with a high nose and deep eyes, and he looked like a person with a semen.
Sitting in front of the couch was an imperial physician. He held his hand in the pulse of his eyes and frowned without saying a word.
Obviously, this guy has been sitting like this for a long time, and it is obvious that he can't come up with a confirmed plan. What's more obvious is that he must be very scared, afraid that he would come up and say that he was powerless, and Wu Zetian would definitely chop him up and feed him to the dog, so... he continued to maintain it, probably because he hoped that time would stop, and that his life would be best to last forever in this second.
Wu Zetian had already walked to the couch and looked at the dying Persian prince, with his eyebrows locked deeper.
This person is extremely important to Wu Zetian. What he is concerned with is not only the stability of the entire Western Regions, but also the stability of the throne. But now, Wu Zetian has discovered that although he is rich in all over the world, he is helpless.
Qin Shaoyou looked at the unlucky guy in Dali Temple, then looked at Wu Zetian, and looked at the face of the seductive man from afar. He couldn't help but feel suspicious, so he couldn't help but take a few steps forward and continue to observe. Unconsciously, he walked forward a few more steps forward.
Then, everyone was shocked. This guy who came from some unknown way was actually very bold, staring at the prince, his steps continued to move forward, only an inch away from Wu Zetian's back. Qin Shaoyou realized something.
Wu Zetian felt something and suddenly turned around. He found that a brave guy was close at hand, and his eyes were facing each other at such a close distance, which surprised Wu Zetian.
Qin Shaoyou was also shocked. He had already smelled the faint body fragrance of Wu Zetian and the unknown rouge aura mixed with it. Then, he saw Wu Zetian's pair of blade-like eyes sweeping towards him. This was a look of shame and anger that the emperor's majesty was violated.
Is this... a taboo?
Qin Shaoyou suddenly felt cold sweat, but gradually, when Wu Zetian saw him, the sharpness in her eyes finally softened a little.
Uh... Qin Shaoyou breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that his impression in front of Wu Zetian was a nerd, a silly nerd. He was a little confused. I guess he could understand it. If someone else had changed, would he be pulled out to feed the dog?
