At this moment.
It was already late in the morning.
In the past, the morning court session would have ended and the officials would have returned to their respective positions.
However, Wu Zetian was late by more than two hours, causing the morning court session to have just begun.
Within the Nine Phoenix Palace.
The officials bowed respectfully.
"Long live Your Majesty!"
"Everyone, rise. I'm late.”
Wu Zetian raised her hand slightly and did not explain further.
The officials looked up and saw that Emperor Wu was covered in blood.
They were all shocked.
Di Renjie glanced around.
He was the first to stand out and bow.
"Your Majesty should prioritize the phoenix body. It's not too late to discuss state affairs in the future. Quickly ask the imperial physician to treat Your Majesty's body!”
"Thank you for your concern, Grand Elder Di. I merely lost control of my cultivation and spat out a mouthful of blood.”
Wu Zetian nodded slightly, her voice sounding very calm.
She slowly glanced around and finally fixed her gaze on the Prince Regent.
At this moment.
The Regent, Wu Yue, had her head lowered. Her face was expressionless, and no one knew what she was thinking.
"After the morning court session ends, please stay behind and move to the study to have a chat with me.”
"Yes!"
Wu Yue raised her head and spat out two words indifferently.
"Your Majesty, I have something to report."
The Minister of Revenue was a square-faced woman.
She stood up, holding the memorial in her hand, and said loudly.
"Please speak, dear minister."
Wu Zetian nodded.
"Your Majesty, summer and autumn are rainy seasons. Floods have broken out in Jiangnan and have flooded several villages. I implore Your Majesty to allocate funds to build a water conservancy project to benefit one side.”
"I approve."
"Your Majesty, the Yan Country has repeatedly invaded the border. I sincerely request that you put on your armor and lead 100,000 troops to expel the Yan army.”
" Your Majesty, a serious crime has occurred in Chang 'an. Hundreds of monks and nuns of Cihang Temple have been secretly killed. Saint Duyue is waiting outside the palace and requests an audience.”
“……”
An hour later.
Only then did all the ministers finish talking about the state affairs.
Wu Zetian nodded and announced the retreat.
The officials tidied up their clothes and put the memorials back into their sleeves, preparing to leave.
At this moment, Wu Zetian slowly let out a breath, her eyes flashing with fatigue.
Below.
Wu Yue clenched her fists tightly when she saw the fatigue. Her knuckles turned white.
She had thought that since the Martial Emperor did not get close to men, Jiang Feng was probably still innocent.
However, when she saw that Emperor Wu had postponed the morning court session and that his eyes were filled with fatigue, she secretly speculated-
It was very likely that Jiang Feng was no longer a virgin!
She took a step forward, gritted her teeth, and pointed at Wu Zetian.
"Wu Mei Niang! As the ruler of a country, what kind of man have you not seen? Why do you have to go against this king and snatch away this king's beloved man!”
As soon as he said that.
All the civil and military officials were silent.
They couldn't help but turn around, dumbfounded.
Her Majesty snatched the Prince Regent's man?
This news was a little explosive!
At this moment.
The officials were about to walk out when they heard Wu Yue's loud question. They subconsciously slowed down their footsteps.
On the Phoenix Throne.
Wu Zetian's face was ashen.
Behind the screen, Empress Lu stood up abruptly. She crushed several of the Buddhist beads in her hand, and her gaze slowly turned gloomy.
……
The officials were curious.
Di Renjie was the prime minister.
At this moment, a puzzled look appeared on his face.
He had a son named Di Guangyuan, who had been betrothed to Wu Yue since he was young.
"Although Yuan-er hasn't married yet, if we really talk about it, it's indeed Wu Yue's man.”
He shook his head in confusion and muttered softly.
"There are too many men in the palace to count. Why did Emperor Wu choose Guangyuan?”
"But Yuan-er is still unmarried and has no interactions with His Majesty?”
Wu Zetian was silent.
"What's wrong? You have nothing to say?"
On the other hand, Wu Yue was laughing hysterically as she rolled on the ground.
All the officials thought that Wu Yue must have had epilepsy.
Not only did she dare to call His Majesty by his nickname and question His Majesty for stealing her man, but she even threw a tantrum in front of everyone.
Many officials looked at Di Renjie.
He had a good son!
"It's my fault for not teaching my son well and making a fool of myself.”
Di Renjie cupped his hands in shame.
At the head of the palace.
Wu Zetian slowly stood up and stared at Wu Yue.
"Do you really want me to tell you the reason?”
Empress Lu suddenly walked out from behind the screen and waved her hand.
"Enough! The Nine Phoenix Hall is a place where state affairs are discussed. You are questioning each other here and fighting over the ownership of a man. What a disgrace!”
As she spoke, Empress Lu glanced at the officials who were walking slowly.
The officials immediately felt as if there was a knife on their backs. They quickened their pace and did not dare to watch the commotion.
In the blink of an eye.
Only three people remained in the huge Nine Phoenix Hall.
Wu Zetian, Empress Lu and Wu Yue.
"Wu Yue, before your mother died, she asked me to take good care of you. BenGong on account of blood relations, plus you are also a pillar of talent, will arrange for you to take charge of the Tang military affairs.”
"I didn't expect that you would dare to question His Majesty in front of everyone for a mere man from the Dream of the Red Chamber, and even throw a tantrum in the Nine Phoenix Hall. If your mother, Wang Jian, was here, she would probably beat you up until you couldn't get off the ground for half a year!”
Empress Lu said expressionlessly.
……
Wu Yue didn't make a sound. She lay on the ground with her arms spread out, her eyes lifeless.
Wu Zetian slowly walked down from the phoenix chair and looked at her.
"Do you know why I made a move to fight with you for Jiang Feng? Because I am saving you."
"Humph!"
Wu Yue turned her head away and suddenly felt uneasy.
"Cousin, in order to bid for the Courtesan Belle, you secretly embezzled the army's salary, right?”
