"Mother, this child is still young and does not understand many important matters in the court.”
"Everything will be decided by mother. This way, there will definitely not be any big trouble.”
Lee Zheng said.
It was indeed silent.
The sound of a plate being smashed rang out.
This startled everyone.
The person who broke the plate was an ordinary maid.
She had brought a plate of fruits over.
However, he did not expect it.
He suddenly heard Lee Zheng's words.
Due to the shock, the plate in his hand broke.
Wu Zetian came back to her senses.
He glanced at the surprised maid and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
"If you can't even handle such a small matter, what's the use of keeping you alive?”
"Drag him out and beat him with eighty sticks!"
The moment Wu Zetian said this, the little handmaiden was so frightened that she collapsed to the ground.
He hurriedly begged for mercy.
With her small body.
Not to mention 80 strokes, 50 strokes would probably take her life.
However, Wu Zetian was completely unmoved.
On the other hand, Lee Zheng seemed to have thought of something.
Then, he said.
"Mother, isn't it just breaking a plate? There's no need to be so angry.”
"I don't think she did it on purpose. Let her go.”
If it was the Lee Zheng of the past.
He really couldn't understand why Wu Zetian would be so angry over such a small matter.
But now...
He naturally knew.
The reason why Wu Zetian was angry wasn't really because she broke the plate.
Instead, it was obvious that the other party was eavesdropping on their conversation.
It might be a spy from another force.
She would definitely die.
However, this was the case.
The more he had to show his stupidity and kindness.
It had to be said.
Under such a dangerous situation.
Lee Zheng's potential was completely squeezed out.
His acting skills were definitely at the level of a movie king.
Even Wu Zetian did not see any flaws.
"My son is still kind-hearted. He will definitely be a benevolent ruler in the future.”
"Since you're pleading for her, let her off for the time being.”
"Wan 'er, pull him out."
Wu Zetian really thought that Lee Zheng couldn't bear to do it.
He was also very magnanimous in showing respect to Lee Zheng.
After all, it was the Emperor who spoke.
If he didn't even have this bit of face, it would hurt his dignity.
Now, her son was so obedient.
She still had to put on a facade.
As for Shangguan Wan 'er, she was Wu Zetian's personal subordinate.
Naturally, he knew what she meant when she said she was going to drag him out.
He didn't say much about this.
He only silently brought the maid out.
Lee Zheng seemed to be in a good mood because he had saved a life.
He continued to talk about the previous topic.
"Mother, the more I think about it, the more I feel that it's a good idea to let mother listen to politics behind the curtain.”
"Mother, you used to help Imperial Father with government affairs. Who doesn't know that you're Imperial Father's virtuous wife?”
"Mother, you're definitely more proficient than me in government affairs. With you helping me keep an eye on things, there won't be any problems.”
"This way, I can relax a lot.”
He heard Lee Zheng mention this topic again.
Wu Zetian did not respond immediately.
Instead, he first looked at Yang Yuhuan beside him.
Then, he asked back.
"Why would you have such an idea?”
"Did you come up with this yourself?"
To be honest.
Wu Zetian was also very surprised.
He had never expected this.
Lee Zheng actually took the initiative to ask him to sit behind the curtain.
She tried her best to remain calm.
However, her gradually tightening fists had already betrayed her heart.
Did she want to?
Of course, he did.
As a woman with a great desire for power, how could she not want to stand on the front stage and hold the highest power?
However, she never expected this.
This was actually brought up by Lee Zheng.
Lee Zheng seemed to be completely unaware of Wu Zetian's inner turmoil.
He was still a little excited, as if he was happy that he could think of a way to slack off openly.
"Of course I came up with it myself.”
"First of all, Mother does have such an ability.”
"Secondly, Zhen does not know much about this, but I am worried about others, so I thought of Mother.”
"After all, anyone in the world can have evil intentions against me. Only Mother will definitely help me sincerely.”
Lee Zheng looked as if he was pouring his heart out.
He didn't believe anyone.
He believed in his own mother.
He wasn't worried that Wu Zetian would notice anything.
Who asked his predecessor to be so cowardly?
Towards his mother.
It was fear and a desire to get close.
Now that he said such words, it was also a matter of course.
When he saw Lee Zheng, he hoped from the bottom of his heart that he could control the government from behind the curtain.
Wu Zetian couldn't help but fall silent.
In his mind.
He was also weighing the pros and cons.
While he was considering this.
She also pushed the fruits that Shangguan Wan 'er had just served in front of Lee Zheng.
"I've said so much. Your mouth must be dry.”
"Eat some melons to moisten your throat."
"This was just plucked from under the yellow platform. It's fresh.”
Obviously, she needed to think carefully about such a suggestion.
He wanted to stall for time.
When Lee Zheng heard about the Yellow Platform Melon.
However, he could not help but shudder in his heart.
He expressed.
He was very sensitive to this yellow platform melon.
At the same time, he was also vigilant.
In his current situation, he had to think more deeply and think twice before acting.
Otherwise…
I'm afraid it's my turn to be the yellow stage melon!
