Shangyang Palace is the palace of Taichu Palace, located in the southwest of Taichu Palace, the terrain is higher, there are mountains on both sides, the other two sides are Luoshui tributaries, communicate with Jiuzhou Pond, rely on mountains and rivers, can overlook most of Luoyang City.

Empress Wu Zhengdan feasted on Vientiane Shrine, once drove to Shangyang Palace, saw dilapidated, messy everywhere, angry, so the matter will be dealt with as a master craftsman, winter official waiter, Shangyang Palace supervisor several people, ordered Si Nong Shaoqing Wei Ji to renovate.

Now ten months have passed, everything is complete, Shangyang Palace has restored its magnificent and magnificent nature, although the regulation is not as vast as the Taichu Palace, but the style is unique, mixed with the architectural characteristics of the Jiangnan garden and the northern courtyard, the green plants and flowers in Lingnan and other places are widely used, there are a large number of exquisite organs inside, and the stars and celestial phenomena are in harmony everywhere, and it is quite popular with the martial arts.

It's a pity that Wei Ji, who was in charge of the construction, did not wait for the reward of the Empress Wu, and waited for the impeachment of the ministers, and was dismissed because the Shangyang Palace was too gorgeous and extravagant.

After Princess Taiping came to the Eastern Capital, she has been living in the Ganlu Hall of Shangyang Palace, and the Empress Wu will also take advantage of Shangyang Palace from time to time and live in the main hall Guanfeng Palace.

Today, a pair of supreme mother and daughter, hand in hand to visit the Fragrance Palace, this hall is east of the valley water, there is a mile-long water corridor, in the late autumn season, the slaughter of depression, the cold wind is in the face, there is really nothing to see, the palace maids and female officials who serve pouted their lips, but the Empress Wu and Taiping are just happy in it, leaning on each other, pointing out the rugged and healthy state before and after, full of praise, the mother and daughter from time to time sprinkled giggles.

At the end of the water corridor, two men in white knelt.

"The prince thinks about it, meet the queen of heaven, meet Her Royal Highness the princess"

"Sin Minister, meet the Queen of Heaven, meet Her Royal Highness the Princess"

Hou Sizhi was full of energy, Quan Ce's breath was weak, his expression was scattered, his body trembled unconsciously, and when he knelt down to worship, the white robe was slightly open, revealing the bloodstained underwear inside, because he was going to meet the queen of heaven, he took care of his head and face to make the scars on his face less terrifying, Hou Sizhi lent him an outer coat to cover the injuries on his body.

Empress Wu was stunned for a long time before she woke up, and what was kneeling in front of her was indeed Quance.

Princess Taiping didn't care about that much, Da Da took a few steps forward, and pulled Quan Ce up hard, it should have touched the injury, his eyes widened in pain, beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, and his cheeks were twisted several times, fixed as docile and respectful, "Your Highness Xie"

"Useless people, how can there be a little royal luxury" Princess Taiping suddenly became angry, scolded, and swung a slap over, knocking the already unstable Quan Ce to the ground, and for a while the whole body was in severe pain, and I don't know how many places the skin and flesh bloomed, and the blood was thick, and the white robe was soaked again.

Seeing this situation, Princess Taiping was even more furious, and turned to kick Hou Sizhi over, punching and kicking, "You dog, the queen mother has not yet been convicted, and you dare to abuse lynching"

Hou Sizhi shrunk into a ball on the ground, his body was not painful, but his heart was cold, he glanced at Quan Ce, who also fell to the ground, and remembered that day, when he put shackles on him and swaggered in Luoyang City, he said, you and me, life and death have never been in your hands, but it is very thorough.

After being distracted for a while, Quan Ce's face turned blue, his lips turned white, he lay on his side on the cold ground, he twitched without a match, he was shocked, walked a few steps back on his knees, and kowtowed again and again, "Your Highness is tolerant, Quan Ce is tortured every day, and his life is in danger, please call the imperial doctor for treatment."

Princess Taiping stopped and turned around to look, but saw the queen mother waving her hand gently, and the imperial doctor who had already been in place was in place, with a lot of steps, and carried Quan Ce back to the nearby Shangqingguan for treatment.

"The queen of heaven, General Quan's internal organs are unharmed, not lost at all, but there are too many external injuries, and the loss of blood and qi is too huge, and if you recuperate for a few days, you can recover" The imperial doctor's favorite patient is this, which looks scary, but in fact, it is not difficult to treat, and it can also show clever means.

"Stand down" Empress Wu waved off the imperial doctor and sat in front of the desk in the main hall of Shangqing Guan, "Wan'er, let the Ministry of Internal Affairs move Song Shu here, and I will deal with government affairs here"

"Yes" Shangguan Wan'er took the order and left, with worries on her face.

"Hou Sizhi, there is no evidence for the matter of Quan Ce, so close the case" Empress Wu instructed Hou Sizhi who was standing next to him, "Go to Princess Yiyang's Mansion and summon them, Quan Ce is seriously injured and temporarily lives in Shangyang Palace"

"Yes, the minister is leaving" Hou Sizhi was relieved, and slowly withdrew from the door, the warm autumn sun shining on his body, and he was comfortable.

Shangguan Wan'er led people back with dozens of lacquer plates, waiting for the Empress Wu to review the folds, Princess Taiping sat and listened for a while, then lost her patience, got up and went to the inner room, the palace maid under the guidance of the imperial doctor, has scrubbed the whole body for Quan Ce, cleaned and bandaged the wound, changed clothes from the inside out, the body is like a jade, full of splendor, and the original appearance of the noble son has been restored.

Princess Taiping asked the palace maid to step back, tilted her head to look him up and down, and muttered, "This is what it looks like."

Quan Ce's hand trembled slightly, Princess Taiping hesitated and reached out to hold it, Quan Ce took advantage of the situation and pulled her hard, pulled her crooked down on the bed, buried her head in her chest, and kept calling in her mouth, "Auntie, aunt"

Princess Taiping was slightly stunned, and then sat on her side, holding his head, sighing faintly, the royal close branch, the younger generation of grandchildren, Quan Ce is second only to Wang Hui, is the second largest, and the most promising, but unfortunately, a careless father has suffered the most, and after careful calculation, this nephew is only 16 years old.

Thinking of his fate with herself, Princess Taiping is a little really loved.

After a long while, Princess Taiping put him back on the couch and walked out.

At sunset, Quan Ce came to his senses, and the palace maid waited for a bowl of ginseng soup and a cup of deer blood soup, recovered a little spirit, and went out of the inner room to meet the martial queen.

"Sinners ......"

"That's it, don't kneel, go sit over there" Empress Wu's pen is flying, piled up like a mountain of songs, there is not much left, I looked through a few copies at random, they were all trivial and miscellaneous things, and they were simply handed over to Shangguan Wan'er to deal with.

"The world only knows that you are very good at writing, and you also have unique skills in military training, I am afraid that few people know about it, you still have some talent for calculation" Empress Wu's voice was calm, as if she was gossiping, "I am very curious, where did you get your manpower?" ”

"After returning to the sky, Uncle Shi, Wu You and the servant and the minister surrendered to the deed, and saw that the minister was nervous, so he gave some business shares, and the minister used the money to attract some city fox society rats.

"Hmph, I ask you, because of you, do you feel guilty about killing and injuring so many people?" Empress Wu's eyes were fixed on him.

Quan Ce's lips trembled, and he kowtowed, "The minister is ashamed of others, and he is worthy of his heart."

Wu Hou's face was full of energy, and he looked up to the sky and laughed, "That's it, but if you have a clear conscience, you will kill all the people in the world, so what?" ”

Quan Ce lowered his head and swallowed his spit, God knows, he didn't mean it that way, the souls of the dead under his knife have their own ways to die.

Empress Wu seemed to have been greatly relieved, and walked forward with a smile, with a pleasant face, "Since you want to do candle business, I can ask the city to arrange it to help you open another trade route, and I will give you this way, not your family."

"Thank you diva" Quan Ce thanked him.

"Hmm, Qianqi I will be handed over to Wu Yanyi to take the belt, you still want to be a Hui civil official, how about the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple?" Empress Wu continued to grace, and Honglu Temple was in charge of external affairs, and it happened to be able to take care of his candle trade.

Quan Ce thanked him in his mouth, his mind was uncertain, and mortals were courteous to others, and he still had something to ask for, not to mention the domination of a country after martial arts.

"I have a matter for you to do"
