Chapter 77: The Emperor's Heart Is Unpredictable

The short five words were spoken in a lazy tone, which was erratic and empty, but when Wu Zetian said it, it was like Mount Tai. Not to mention Qin Shaoyou and Wu Yinglong, even the other princes and ministers in the hall could not help but hold their breath at this time.

Wu Zetian's jade finger rubbed the jade table, and she felt deadly silent again.

Then, she slowly said: "Where are the students?"

Everyone's heart seemed to be about to jump out.

Wu Yinglong's face was ashes, and he felt something was wrong.

At this time, the Shendu Mansion Maid stood up and said in a deep voice: "It's in the Mansion Prison."

Wu Zetian smiled and said calmly: "Although he beat someone, the Great Zhou Dynasty advocated filial piety and righteousness. Every man in the market was humiliated by others, and he still had to splatter his blood for five steps, let alone a well-educated student? Let it go and allow them to return to the four schools to study."

After Wu Zetian finished giving orders, his smile suddenly changed, and a trace of murderous intent flashed through his eyes: "But even such a small matter that is worth mentioning is to be heard from Datian. It's a good New Year Festival, who is the fault of such uneasiness?"

Wu Zetian sneered, smiling like the sharp edge of a sharp knife, which made people tremble: "Well, my subordinates need to review, the Secretary of the Central Committee should think about their mistakes, and the Secretary of the State has no choice but to investigate this matter. We should always find out that everyone should fall to the ground. We should never forget the past and the teacher for the future! Today's affairs should be alerted to the people who come later." After that, she had grown up...

The officials of the three ministers, Shangshu and Zhongshu, suddenly changed their faces.

The Holy Emperor said that just now was definitely not a joke. He thought that the Holy Emperor would just deal with Qin Shaoyou or Wu Yinglong, but unexpectedly, even the three provinces were angry. Especially that sentence, someone should have fallen to the ground, and another sentence, it should be to alert future generations. This means that there is no way to get out of this matter, and no one should get out of here. Since we are trying to set an example, then this responsibility must be clearly distinguished, but who is the responsibility?

Everything was vague, but it was this sentence full of mystery that made everyone feel confused. The prime ministers in the three provinces dared not be negligent, so they went out to work. They did not argue or apologize, but they just bowed down one after another and did not dare to speak out.

Wu Zetian glanced at everyone in the hall coldly, stroked her sleeves and left. Her back had already passed the jade stairs. She was about to cross the corridor connecting the main hall, but at this moment she left a sentence: "Everything is difficult at the beginning. The day of the first year is the beginning of the new year. Today is the case, and in the future... I'm afraid it will be the same."

…………

Wu Zetian left, and countless female officials and palace maids faded away like a flood.

Shangguan Wan'er did not leave. She was still standing on the jade steps, her eyes were cold. Looking at these people who were so arrogant that she dared not show up, her eyes finally fell on Qin Shaoyou.

The above Guan Wan'er knew Wu Zetian. At this time, she was afraid that even she didn't know what his Majesty was going on. However, one thing is certain. Long Yan was already angry when these things happened. In the past, even if there was nothing wrong, the Holy Emperor would have to be the heads of thousands of people. I don't know how many wealthy families broke into families. The brightly lit red building turned into dust and tiles in an instant, not to mention that today I was really angry.

She glanced at the incompetent Qin Shaoyou in anger. She cherished Qin Shaoyou's talent very much. Although the two of them didn't negotiate much, they also cared about some old love. But now, her pretty face was cold and cold, and she said sternly: "Come."

Several golden-armored warriors stood at the hall gate like small towers. In the cold wind, the scarlet cloak behind them danced with the wind.

Their calloused hands held the handle of the knife and were ready to go!

Shangguan Wan'er looked at Qin Shaoyou, then looked at Wu Yinglong, and her face turned extremely cold: "Take Qin Shaoyou!"

Click...scratch...

The heavy boots became tighter and tighter, and several warriors had already surrounded Qin Shaoyou by pressing their swords.

Qin Shaoyou got up, then raised his eyes, and then smiled gratefully at Shangguan Wan'er, but Shangguan Wan'er turned away, leaving only a silhouette under the light.

Qin Shaoyou raised his hands and signaled that he did not threaten. The warriors did not make things difficult for him, but just followed him out of the hall.

Qin Shaoyou was in a calm mood. No matter what, several students were rescued. Although the sinister future was still in front of him, he finally completed the first step in the ups and downs.

After leaving the palace, the wind was very cold, and the bitter cold wind was everywhere. He sighed and looked back at this magnificent and majestic palace, which seemed peaceful and quiet. At this time, he showed a warm side. His handsome face in the hazy weather was as calm as water, and the corners of his mouth were just slightly curled up. His eyes that were still shiny looked at the palace city: "The wind is so strong."

……………………

The Palace of the World is empty and there is no more anger, but there is still a little breath of intense confrontation just now and the unpredictable power of that day.

Shangguan Wan'er followed the corridor and reached the end step by step. Then there was a side hall.

The palace maids outside the hall had already retreated. She quietly opened a corner of the hall door. Although it was decorated in a grand manner, it was still empty, so empty that it made people feel heartbroken.

Only in the corner of this hall, next to the window, was standing alone, and she looked out the window without moving.

The lights in the hall could not shine on this person, but were hidden in the shadows. She held her hands behind her back, like an iceberg, as if she should have been here and never moved. How desolate and solemn this back was.

Shangguan Wan'er wandered for a while, tiptoed, and was about to leave the hall.

Wu Zetian, under the shadow, suddenly said: "Wan'er..."

Shangguan Wan'er had no choice but to go forward and said, "I am here."

Wu Zetian did not look back in the shadow, but looked at the numerous pavilions and palaces outside the window in an ethereal way, and there was no more sound.

However, the tacit understanding between the king and the minister made Shangguan Wan'er know that His Majesty wanted him to stay here, so he stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the rioter Qin Shaoyou has already taken it."

"Oh." The answer to her was a word of indifference.

Shangguan Wan'er lowered her head and did not dare to make any more noise. She suddenly felt a sense of fear. This fear spread throughout her body, causing her small and elegant nose to seep fine sweat. The sweat gathered under the tip of her nose, crystal clear and finally fell down...

Suddenly, Wu Zetian turned into a dizzy face and her eyes were filled with murderous intent: "Wan'er, why do you want to favor Qin Shaoyou?"

This sudden questioning scared Shangguan Wan'er. After all, she was a woman. No matter how many worlds she had seen, she could not bear such pressure. She hurriedly bowed and said, "I will die!"

She did favor Qin Shaoyou. His Majesty did not say to take Qin Shaoyou. However, after Long Yan was furious, someone would definitely want the head to fall. This person may be Qin Shaoyou or others. It is absolutely unforgivable to cause such a thing in such an occasion today. On the surface, Shangguan Wan'er took Qin Shaoyou, but in fact it was a kind of protection. If His Majesty really had resentment towards Qin Shaoyou, when he was about to take action, he heard that Qin Shaoyou had been taken and suffered a lot. At this time, his heart might be soft and Qin Shaoyou could be forgiven. The so-called detention was nothing more than Shangguan Wan'er hoped to use this to relieve Wu Zetian.

Shangguan Wan'er's tears fell to the ground, and she choked and said, "I... I do have old things with Qin Shaoyou. I have selfish intentions. I should be punished for my crimes, but... Qin Shaoyou caused this trouble, after all, it was for His Majesty... He runs the school..."

Wu Zetian's face finally calmed down a little. She still cherished Shangguan Wan'er, but her face was still solemn, and she said coldly: "If it weren't for this, he had already been crushed to pieces. Do you think he could still live until now?"

Shangguan Wan'er suddenly felt a glimmer of hope, raised her tearful eyes and said, "Then what Your Majesty means..."

Wu Zetian turned around and began to look out the window again, standing still.

Shangguan Wan'er knelt down. She couldn't get the answer, and she was only nervous.

Before she knew it, the sky was already dim and the rays of light were shining. Wu Zetian showed a trace of tiredness. She turned around and ignored Shangguan Wan'er and left.

In the lonely hall, the candlelight was gradually extinguished. His Highness, only Shangguan Wan'er was left. She knelt down with a pale face until late at night. A palace maid carefully stepped in and said, "Your Majesty ordered Shangguan Shuidiao to go to Lingyan Pavilion to get the "Brahmaster Sutra" to the bedroom."

Shangguan Wan'er was as if she was pardoned. She barely got up, but her legs and feet were sore and numb. She fell down again. The palace maid hurriedly came to help her. Shangguan Wan'er bit her teeth and said, "Thank you for the grace of the Holy Emperor."
