"Come, 1, 2, 3, let's go…"
“action!”
In an instant.
Li Changsheng instantly got into character!
Her aged body lay flat on the dragon bed, her weak eyes quietly looking at the roof.
Standing beside her bed were the female official known as the "Internal Minister", Shangguan Wan 'er, and the brothers Zhang Changzhi and Zhang Changzong.
However, the two brothers 'faces were filled with shock, anger, and fear.
"Your Majesty, that treacherous minister Li Xian and Prime Minister Zhang Jianzhi actually led the Imperial Army to the outside of the hall, saying that they wanted to force you to abdicate!”
Zhang Changzhi was shocked and angry, crying out in panic.
Empress Zetian didn't respond to him and continued to stare at the top of the bed in a daze.
"A mere prime minister actually dares to think of rebelling. Watch how I deal with him!”
Zhang Changzong's face was gloomy as he shouted and brought his brother Zhang Changzhi with him. He quickly walked out of the palace, wanting to use the Empress's authority to dismiss Zhang Jianzhi and the Crown Prince!
Unexpectedly, the moment Li Xian saw the two of them, he immediately became furious and ordered the Imperial Army to chop off their heads.
Following that, the group of people rushed to Empress Ze Tian's bedroom and surrounded her.
Empress Ze Tian seemed to have finally regained her senses. She looked at Shangguan Wan 'er, who was standing quietly beside her, and gently waved her hand."Wan 'er, come here."
Shangguan Wan 'er's eyes immediately turned red. She carefully squatted by the bed, and her sparkling tears fell like broken strings.
She had been serving the Empress for 28 years since she was 14 years old. She had always seen the Empress rule the world with her peerless elegance. She had never seen her as weak as she was now.
Empress Zetian gently stroked her delicate cheeks with her trembling hands and said quietly,""Are you afraid?"
"With His Majesty around, Wan 'er has never been afraid!”
Shangguan Wan 'er shook her head, her tone firm and powerful.
"But I'm afraid!"
Empress Ze Tian let out a long sigh. Her eyes were filled with loneliness.
Shangguan Wan 'er understood that when the empress said that she was afraid, she wasn't really afraid. She wasn't afraid of death!
Instead, he was worried that after his death, the Wu family would be punished by the royal family of the Li Tang Empire, causing their descendants to be cut off.
This was the main reason why the empress was unable to make up her mind to return the favor of the Zhou Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty in her later years.
"Back then, I wanted to make Wu Sansi the Crown Prince. Duke Di asked me which one was closer, aunt and nephew or mother and son.”
"Thus, I thought about it and finally gave up on the idea of establishing martial arts. I specially summoned King Luling back to the capital and prepared to return the Zhou Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty.”
"However, Old Master Di doesn't know that today has always been the day that I've been most afraid of!”
Empress Zetian sighed deeply, as if she wanted to vent all the pent-up anger in her heart.
Seeing this, Shangguan Wan 'er hurriedly rubbed her chest.
Empress Zetian continued," I've seized the world from the Li Tang Empire for fifteen years. I've killed more than a hundred members of the royal family and civil and military officials of the Li Tang Empire. I've replaced seventy-three prime ministers. I've even killed or exiled my own sons and daughters. Tell me, once I return the Zhou Dynasty to the Tang Empire, will they let the matter rest so easily and let bygones be bygones?”
"It won't happen."
Empress Ze Tian answered her own question and slowly shook her head.""The most ruthless emperor's family, how can the bed of a crouching tiger allow others to sleep!”
"For the sake of power, no one will show the slightest mercy. They will definitely purge the Wu family wantonly in order to consolidate the imperial power, just like how I purged the Li Tang royal family back then.”
"Even if Xian 'er is my son, so what? As long as he wants to be the ruler, he will not have the slightest pity for my ruthless mother.”
As she spoke, she gradually became quiet again.
She couldn't help but recall the time when she was a woman, ruling the world in high spirits!
How glorious and domineering she was back then!
And now.
Although she was old, she was still seriously ill and could not get up from bed.
However…
After all, she was still the first empress who had created history, subverted the tradition of male supremacy for thousands of years, and finally dominated the nine provinces. No one could compare to her!
"Change my clothes!"
Empress Ze Tian suddenly said firmly.
Her turbid eyes suddenly flashed with a shrewd and wise light, as if she had returned to the dignity of an empress!
" But Your Majesty, your body is weak now…"
Shangguan Wan 'er was shocked and hurriedly tried to persuade him.
However, Empress Ze Tian rejected him without hesitation.
"No matter how weak my body is, I am still the supreme ruler!”
"As long as I am not dead, who dares to be impudent in front of me!”
Empress Zetian's eyes widened slightly, and a bright light flashed in them.
"Bang!"
The door was suddenly pushed open forcefully.
The Prince of Luling, Li Xian, Prime Minister Zhang Jianzhi, Cui Xuanwei, and a few other ministers rushed into the palace at the same time, holding bloody swords and weapons in their hands.
At the right time.
Empress Zetian's sharp phoenix eyes swept across the area.
Li Xian and the others, who were originally filled with killing intent and were charging over aggressively, suddenly felt a terrifying gaze attack them, causing their hearts to tremble and the soles of their feet to turn cold. Their original courage was instantly weakened countless times!
"Plop!"
"Plop!"
"Plop!"
The few of them could not help but kneel down at the same time!
They only felt a majestic and terrifying pressure pouncing on them, forcing their hearts to tremble. Their souls trembled, and an unprecedented fear surged in their hearts!
It was as if they were not facing an old man who was bedridden, but the domineering Empress Wu Zhao!
"What is it?"
the empress asked calmly.
In his words.
No sorrow, no joy!
No shock, no anger!
There wasn't even the slightest fluctuation in his emotions!
It was as if she had no idea that her son and his ministers were leading a group of Imperial Army soldiers in preparation for a thrilling show that could change the future of the Great Tang!
No.
It wasn't that she didn't know that these people wanted to rebel against her and force her to take the throne.
It was because she had already known about it, but from the bottom of her heart, she did not care about their actions at all!
Who was she?
She was the first empress in the history of Huaxia to rule the world!
She had created a precedent in history that no one had ever seen before!
She killed the female Empress!
She killed her son and proclaimed herself emperor!
She used virtuous officials on one hand and cruel officials on the other!
Those who obey will prosper, and those who rebel will perish!
Countless people had died directly or indirectly in her hands!
Countless people said that she was ruthless and cold-blooded!
But so what!
She was still the Sheng Deity Emperor that countless people looked up to and feared!
How could a mere act of forcing her to abdicate be able to shake her powerful heart!
Even if there was not a single bit of it!
He looked at the empress who was lying on the dragon bed. Her hair was gray and she was already 81 years old, but she was still radiant and charming.
Shao Bing, who played the role of Li Xian, and Hou Zhiyong, who played the role of the prime minister, opened their mouths. However, they found that because they were too frightened, they could not say the lines that they had rehearsed countless times. They did not even have the courage to speak!
This Li Wanqing was too terrifying!
He was just lying on the bed and did nothing. He just casually glanced at them!
However, they were all so shocked that their hearts trembled and their souls trembled!
In particular, she was unfazed by honor and disgrace, and her expression remained calm even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of her. She vividly displayed the dignity and dominance of an ancient empress!
This aura was too powerful!
It was too terrifying!
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
Hou Zhiyong, Shao Bing, and the others swallowed hard and bowed.
Finally, they were all experienced actors with good acting skills. After a short period of fear, they adapted on the spot and continued the scene!
"Phew!"
Chen Kaige, who was behind the monitor, took a deep breath and quietly wiped the cold sweat on his forehead with lingering fear. His tensed heart finally relaxed a little!
At that moment, Li Changsheng's Empress Zetian's gaze suddenly exploded, causing Shao Bing and Hou Zhiyong, who were playing the roles of the Prince of Luling and the prime minister, to lose their composure on the spot.
He was really worried that they wouldn't be able to take on the show for a while, causing this wonderful show to be scrapped!
Fortunately, they were able to respond on the spot and did not let him down.
But this Li Changsheng!
His acting skills were even more shocking!
What did she do to coincidentally meet him, the one and only best actress for the empress?
Chen Kaige looked at Li Changsheng with a complicated and gratified expression. All sorts of emotions welled up in his heart!
He had already decided to convince Boss Yang to sign Li Changsheng with the best conditions. He could not let him escape!
Had he promised Boss Yang that he would persuade Li Changsheng to accept Boss Yang's conditions?
Huh?
Was there such a thing?
How could he not remember it at all!
"Hiss!"
"Her gaze and aura are so terrifying!”
"Especially when she suddenly turned her head to look at me just now, it scared me silly. My heart thumped violently a few times, and even now, my heart is still racing, and my limbs are weak!”
Amongst the crowd of onlookers, Chen Fu, who had specially rushed over to visit today, stared at Empress Ze Tian, who was lying on the dragon couch, with a dumbfounded expression. He was so shocked that he sucked in a breath of cold air.
As she nervously patted her pounding heart, she grabbed the railing beside her tightly. Otherwise, she felt that she would immediately collapse to the ground because her legs were weak!
That feeling was so shocking that she could not come back to her senses for a long time!
"The tiger is dying, but its might is still there!"
"This is the peerless demeanor that a true ancient Great Empress should have!”
"And he is the only actress who can perform all of this to perfection!”
"No one can compare to you in the huge entertainment industry!”
Mr. Yang also clutched his collar tightly, muttering to himself with lingering fear. His heart was filled with the shocking performance that Li Changsheng had just given her.
Just now, she was really frightened by Li Changsheng's sharp and terrifying gaze and his terrifying and domineering aura. Moreover, she was quite frightened!
Even now, she could still feel her heart pounding wildly, as if it was going to jump out of her throat at any moment!
However…
To be able to see such a wonderful performance was simply a great enjoyment in life!
