It was the fifth watch.
Looking from afar, a faint white color appeared on the lake.
In the Imperial Palace.
The Nine Phoenix Hall was brightly lit.
The Nine Phoenix Hall was the place where the officials of the Great Tang held their morning court.
It was also the face of a country.
The word 'resplendent' was not enough to describe it. Even the most hidden corner of the Nine Phoenix Hall was plated with a layer of gorgeous gold foil.
At the top of the Nine Phoenix Hall, there was a golden chair that could be used as a bed.
Many of the officials had already finished burning incense and praying, and were beginning to change into various official robes. They gathered in twos and threes and discussed state affairs.
In another hour, it would be the official morning assembly.
However, all the officials looked around and found that there was still no one on the throne.
There was a golden screen behind the phoenix chair. At this moment, a woman in her forties was sitting behind the screen, frowning and silent.
"Reporting to Empress Lu, just now this lowly subject led hundreds of guards to search the entire Imperial Palace, but did not find any trace of His Majesty.”
"Martial Emperor is not in the palace? Did you see Granny Qian?"
"Reporting to the Empress, Qian Qianbei also disappeared.”
"BenGong understands, you can leave first. If you see His Majesty return, tell her that there is no need to pay her respects to BenGong and that she can directly come to the morning court.”
Empress Lu waved her hand, and the sword-bearing guard bowed and left.
"You've been on the throne for two years, but you're still restless. I didn't expect you to sneak out to play at night without telling your mother.”
Seeing the guard leave, Empress Lu sighed.
The rich granny protected her. Unless she broke through the Shifting Flower Palace, the Martial Emperor would be able to return safely.
Therefore, she was not worried about Wu Zetian's safety.
As for the morning court, Empress Lu also felt that Wu Zetian would be able to return on time.
This was because in the two years since Emperor Wu ascended the throne, he had never missed a morning court session.
Even on the day of her father's funeral, she had finished the morning court session with tears in her eyes.
……
Inside the Red Chamber.
The Yang Essence disappeared.
Jiang Feng's body was sore and weak, as if he was running for thousands of meters.
Just now, he had already exceeded the scope of acting and was considered to have made a fake show real.
A night passed.
The two of them had different thoughts.
Emperor Wu felt that she had gained a huge advantage.
Jiang Feng did not think that he was at a disadvantage either.
……
Wu Zetian only gave him 5,000 points of Attraction Value, of which 3,000 points were added in an instant when he was glued together.
This fully showed that the emperor was heartless.
"Although this Jiang Feng is vain and has no morals, he is still known as the number one courtesan of the Great Tang.”
Wu Zetian thought to herself.
Jiang Feng was like a flawless piece of jade.
No matter which characteristic it was, it made her feel extremely moved.
At this moment, another flame appeared in her lower abdomen, and it was burning more and more vigorously.
"No, there's still an hour before the morning assembly! Jiang Feng was beautiful, but he was also beautiful in his appearance. How can I be infatuated with the skin of a weak man and let all the beloved ministers stand in the hall and wait?”
Wu Zetian calmed herself down and stopped looking at Jiang Feng. She turned around and put on her robe.
"I said just now that I will give you a lifetime of glory and wealth. After I retire, I will order Granny Qian to redeem you and bring you back to the palace to live.”
"If you still have relatives at home, you can also order them to move to Chang 'an and live with the families of the officials.”
Wu Zetian looked down at him.
"Yes."
Jiang Feng wrapped himself up tightly and let out a deep and ashen voice.
Even if Wu Zetian left now, the show would continue.
Because Jiang Feng was worried that someone would be watching him in the dark.
Unless the system gave a notification that he had succeeded in committing suicide, this scene would end here.
"Haha, you don't have to put on an act. I know that handsome men are born to be actors! Your image has already been set in my heart. No matter how you pretend, I won't be fooled by you.”
Wu Zetian laughed.
"This man is not only colder than me, but he's also scheming.”
Wu Zetian snorted and decided to use Jiang Feng as a tool to reveal her secret. However, seeing that Jiang Feng did not talk much to her, Wu Zetian still felt a little angry.
In Jiang Feng's mind, Wu Zetian's thoughts began to increase, but most of them were filled with a faint arrogance.
This woman was extremely narcissistic!
With his god-level acting skills, he would not reveal any flaws no matter what. Naturally, Wu Zetian would not see through his true thoughts.
Wu Zetian thought that he was acting, but it was just a guess in his heart.
"Turn around, I have a Small Recovery Pill in my hand, take it.”
Wu Zetian said coldly. Seeing that Jiang Feng was not moving, she sat down again and pulled him into her arms.
She flipped her hand over and a glistening yellow pill appeared in her palm.
Jiang Feng leaned weakly against her body, allowing the blanket to slide down to his shoulders. His face was pale, but there was a sickly blush on it.
When she picked Jiang Feng up, Wu Zetian felt his body shrink, as if he was very resistant.
" Let go, Your Majesty. Please have some self-respect…"
Jiang Feng's shoulders were shaking slightly, and there were still faint bruises on his left shoulder.
"Interesting! When you took the initiative last night, why didn't you tell me to behave?”
At this moment, Jiang Feng's mouth was cracked, his eyes were red, and his black hair was messy.
There was a row of deep teeth marks on his lips, and the tears on both sides of his temples were clearly visible.
After saying that, Jiang Feng did not even have the strength to open his mouth. He just stared at her, his handsome face looking extremely stubborn.
Wu Zetian frowned and ignored him. She raised her slender fingers and avoided the bite mark on Jiang Feng's lips. She opened a gap between his teeth before she managed to stuff the Small Cyclic Pellet into his mouth.
"Since you have just become my man, I will allow you to ask for a reward. Just say what you want.”
Wu Zetian said indifferently.
She could not help but guess what Jiang Feng would want from her.
Most men in the world loved jewelry the most, but they were also afraid of the dark.
Some rich men from extraordinary families often regarded the Night-Luminescent Pearl as their precious treasure. They would hold it every night before falling asleep.
If Jiang Feng wanted the Night-Luminescent Pearls, he would have to go to the national treasury to choose them.
Perhaps he would want a garden mansion.
It was even possible for her to become a male consort. It was equivalent to directly leaping over the dragon gate and becoming a member of the royal family.
At this moment, Jiang Feng's mouth moved slightly.
"Your Majesty, I want the silk belt around your waist, is that okay?”
"Silk belt?"
Wu Zetian lowered her head in confusion and looked at her waist.
"This silk jade belt is three feet and three inches long. Although it is a tribute from the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau, it is not too precious. If you want it, I will give it to you now.”
After taking off her belt, Wu Zetian was still puzzled.
Wu Zetian looked at Jiang Feng's face, trying hard to see regret on his face.
Seeing that Jiang Feng still had no signs of going back on his word, she placed the belt beside his pillow.
"This is the first time you lost your primordial yang, so your body is weak. Rest for a while and wait for the Small Cyclic Pellet to take effect.”
Wu Zetian stood up again and resolutely turned around to walk towards the door.
At this moment, all the civil and military officials were still waiting for her morning court session, so there was no time to waste.
