Chapter 311 Heart Chapter
Wu Zetian finally spoke out her true feelings, but she could only say them here.
All the guards, including male prostitutes, servants and maids, even General Huan Bin of the Qianniu Guard, were more than twenty steps away from the monks' quarters.
No one would hear what the two of them were saying, and only at this time, facing this man, could she show her vulnerable side as a woman.
It is true that Wu Zetian was an emperor, but she was essentially a woman, a woman who needed company.
But there was no one in the palace who could accompany her anymore. Zhang Changzong and Zhang Yizhi were at most substitutes for Huaiyi and Xue Aocao. However, Xue Aocao, who had accompanied her in the palace for a long time, was gone.
At present, the only person to whom she can tell so many of her innermost thoughts is the lewd monk Huaiyi.
"It's not easy for you, but then again, who has an easy life as an emperor?"
Huaiyi spoke in a very gentle tone.
"Yes, which emperor is easy?"
"Fortunately, I have thought it through now. The only two people who can be my successors are Cunxi and Chengsi. As long as the two of them successfully defeat all other contenders for the throne, then no matter who succeeds me in the end, a part of the Li family or the Wu family can be saved."
"After all, given their current relationship, whoever becomes emperor can use the opportunity to protect the family behind him."
"Also, the power behind these two people is enough to overthrow my court. No one else can do it except them two."
When Wu Zetian said this, there was a look of sadness in her eyes.
Being a woman was not easy for her, and being an emperor was even more difficult for her.
She couldn't even take the initiative to choose her own crown prince. She could only choose one between two younger generations who were at the peak of their careers.
"So your candidates for the new crown prince have been confirmed to be them?"
Huaiyi hugged Wu Zetian tightly with his usual smile on his face.
"Yes... damn, don't move."
Wu Zetian scolded and lay there without moving.
"Since you no longer have the power to choose, why don't you just stay still? Although I'm in the White Horse Temple, I often hear about what's happening in the court."
"I heard that Li Cunxi followed Di Renjie to the capital to meet the emperor when he was thirteen years old. He solved the famous Youzhou case when he was just a rookie, and made the two countries form an eternal alliance without fighting. He is truly a young hero with the appearance of a god."
"It has only been more than half a year since the Youzhou case began, and Li Cunxi has solved several major cases in succession. He is now the Shao Yin of Henan Prefecture. He is indeed a young and promising man, and he is very attractive."
"The most important thing is that he is the heir of the Li family and the descendant of the exiles. He is your junior. Even if such a person becomes your successor, why would you be unwilling?"
"Not only did they return the throne to the Li family, they also chose a good emperor for the world, and they also protected the people of the Wu family."
“It’s a good ending.”
Wu Zetian tilted her head and glanced at the lecherous monk. After thinking it over again and again, she just said:
"You are the only one in the world who dares to speak to me like this. If anyone else spoke like this, you would end up like Imperial Censor Li Zhaode. You will definitely end up like Li Zhaode."
When Wu Zetian talked about Li Zhaode, she had no good temper at all.
Thinking of Li Zhaode, Wu Zetian felt a surge of anger. After the Youzhou case, the man who forced people to abdicate had actually written a letter to her asking her to abdicate and put the throne back in the hands of Li Tang's founder.
Once those words came out, wasn't it obvious that he was asking her to give up her throne to the prince?
She finally sat on the throne, but she gave it to the prince. This makes people not know their own weight.
"If you kill me, who are you going to tell these words to?"
Huaiyi hugged Wu Zetian and a satisfied look appeared on his face.
Outside the monk's room, Wu Sansi, who wanted to go closer and call Wu Zetian to return to Luoyang as soon as possible, overheard the conversation between the two, quietly left the yard, and stood with Huan Bin.
Huan Bin seemed to not want to stand too close to Wu Sansi, so he took the initiative to distance himself from him, holding his sword at his waist and looking around.
Wu Sansi, whose face was turning from cloudy to gloomy, turned back calmly to look in the direction of the monks' room, and began to calculate in his mind the probability of defeating Wu Chengsi and Li Cunxi.
His current allies are the three brothers Wu Youning, Prince of Jianchang, Wu Youji, Prince of Qiancheng, and Wu Youzhi, Prince of Hengding, plus Wu Youde, Prince of Nanping.
His opponents were Crown Prince Li Xian, Prince of Xiang Li Dan, Prince of Wei Wu Chengsi, Prince of Henei Wu Yizong, and another heir of the Li clan Li Cunxi.
As for the other cousins of the same generation as Wu, there is no need to worry about them. Legally speaking, their inheritance rights should be after all of them.
Wu Zetian's biological cousin is closer than the cousins in the clan.
But even if his enemies had become much fewer, just looking at these few people was enough to give him a hard time.
Especially that Li Cunxi.
When he thought of Li Cunxi, Wu Sansi secretly gritted his teeth and blamed himself for not cutting the grass completely back then. If he had killed the entire family of Duke Huang, he would not be facing this situation now.
It can be said that whenever Wu Sansi felt upset over the past year, it was definitely related to the thief Li Cunxi.
"I regret it so much. I should have killed Li Cunxi back then. Why did I end up like this today?"
"There's a bloody fight between the two families. It's a question whether I can escape in the end."
Wu Sansi gnashed his teeth and stamped his feet in hatred.
At this moment, the battle in the monk's room finally ended. At Wu Zetian's call, the two maids who came with Huan Bin entered the monk's room to help Wu Zetian put on her clothes.
At this speed, they would probably be able to leave Hanguang Temple and head for Luoyang at 15:30.
At about four quarters past midnight, they would return to Luoyang, arrive at the imperial palace, kowtow to Wu Zetian, and then everyone could go home happily to sleep.
Huan Bin thought that tonight was another good opportunity, a good opportunity to assassinate Wu Zetian. Such good opportunities had appeared many times in the past six months after the Youzhou case, but every time they, the Snake Spirits, were unable to kill Wu Zetian, their mortal enemy.
In a corner that was invisible to everyone, Huan Bin sighed quietly, then went to meet Wu Zetian who was supported by a maid and said:
"Your Majesty, it is getting dark. We must return to Luoyang quickly. Otherwise, there are who knows how many unknown dangers there will be in this dark night."
Wu Zetian looked at Huan Bin with great satisfaction and nodded:
"You lead the Qianniu Guards to line up outside and pack up everything that needs to be packed first. We will return to the capital quickly."
Huan Bin clasped his fists and went to the main hall.
"What a pity! It would be nice if Qingfang was here too."
