The eunuch Gao Lishi on the side moved the corners of his mouth up and down, obviously almost unable to hold back his joy.
Wu Shun, who was following, glared at him with a displeased face and pulled his stunned mother to hide away.
Li Yunxiao was walking when he suddenly stopped, took out some silver coins from his arms, and threw them back.
Wu Shun quickly reached out and took it, looking at Li Yunxiao with a puzzled expression.
Li Yunxiao said calmly:
"Thank you, madam, for giving me such a silver coin. I have already repaid your favor for my brother Yuan and Li a few years ago. Now that the silver coin has been returned, we will owe nothing to each other from now on."
After the words fell, Li Yunxiao left slowly.
"Alas~~The good will be kind to themselves, and the evil will be evil to themselves~~~The weather has been good recently, the Tang Dynasty has been prosperous and the people are strong, and my master's mood has improved a lot..."
Several people were a little confused and didn't know who Li Yunxiao was talking about.
Li Zhi smiled lightly and said: "The Imperial Master always says some incomprehensible things. I should have said it just now for my ears. Recently, the Japanese country has offended the Imperial Master and suffered the consequences."
"Are you here to see Mei Niang?"
Yang calmed down and nodded.
"Okay, but I still have something to discuss with him. You can go to the side room and wait."
After saying that, without waiting for Yang's agreement, Li Zhi turned around and walked in.
Yang nodded and watched after Li Zhi left. She was led by the eunuch and entered the side room with Wu Shun to wait.
Looking at the silver in her hand, Yang couldn't help but smile bitterly. She was now the mother of the queen, but Li Yunxiao's fate with them seemed to be getting farther and farther away.
She was very curious about what Li Yunxiao meant when he said the favor had been repaid a long time ago, and when it was repaid, she had no idea.
The two waited for two hours before they heard footsteps outside.
Wu Zhao was seen wearing gauze clothes as thin as cicada wings, with skin as thick as gel, waist as thick as silk, plump figure, a jade body looming, and a hint of redness on his face.
As soon as he entered the door, Wu Zhao smiled lightly and said: "Mom, why did you come here suddenly today? Even if you want to thank me, you have to find time."
"Whenever does Mom want to come, do I need your permission?" Before Yang could speak, Wu Shun said something to the side.
Wu Zhao glanced at her lightly.
Wu Zhao clearly remembered the pleasant things she had with Li Zhi many years ago. In the end, it was through her relationship that Wu Shun was placed outside the palace and given the title of a Korean lady.
"Gao Lishi."
"The slave is here."
"You go and send Mrs. Korea out."
"Yes, concubine!"
Eunuch Gao Lishi took a step forward, but before he got close, Wu frowned and said, "You want to drive me out?"
Wu Zhao smiled faintly and said: "How about chasing you away? This is my residence. No matter how old my mother is, how can you, a Korean lady, stay here in the middle of the night?"
Gao Lishi wanted to watch the show for a while longer, but Wu Zhao said something and he could only do it.
"Mrs. Korea, please?"
Wu Shun glared at Gao Lishi, then stared at Wu Zhao and sneered: "Decent, are you talking to me about decent? You..."
"Shut up Shun'er! You get out first!" Seeing that the situation was not good, Yang immediately shouted to stop.
Wu Shun bit his lip, they both slept with the emperor, why is there such a big difference?
Swinging his sleeves, Wu Shun left angrily.
Wu Zhao hummed softly and took a seat next to Yang.
"Mom, why did you come?"
Yang told her story. After hearing this, Wu Zhao frowned and said with a sneer: "So it seems that the Wu family doesn't know how to praise him."
Yang nodded: "It's not that I won't forgive others because of my power, but the humiliation of those years has made me unbearable. Why don't you talk to His Majesty and find a crime to kill them!"
Wu Zhao was slightly stunned and couldn't help but ask: "Mom, have you come into contact with any unknown people recently?"
"No, why do you ask?"
"It's nothing, I just think my mother's thoughts are a bit extreme and not advisable."
Yang may be too old, so he didn't understand what it meant for a while.
Wu Zhao stood up slowly and said while walking: "Mother doesn't know something. Although I am the queen now, there are many people talking about it."
"If I execute them now, wouldn't it mean that people would accuse me of being unfilial and killing brothers and brothers? By then, how will my daughter's face be saved?"
"Furthermore, you don't think that there will be no threat after Changsun Wuji loses power. No matter what, he is still the head of the three princes and the most important figure in the founding of Taizong!"
"If he causes trouble now, he might take advantage of his daughter to do something. Then wouldn't my daughter's efforts for so many years be in vain?"
Yang covered her forehead with her hands, and she didn't react until she heard it.
"Mom is really old. She is not as stable as she was when she was young."
Wu Zhao chuckled: "Time will never stop, everyone will grow old. Mom is just too tired recently. It will be good to rest more in the future. And you can rest assured that although they cannot be put to death, they will never be taken advantage of!"
"I will discuss with His Majesty to promote the Wu brothers to high-ranking officials. First, they will gain a reputation for repaying evil with kindness, and then I will have my own way to punish them!"
Yang stepped forward and took Wu Zhao's hand, rubbing it gently.
"Sure enough, Mom didn't expect it in vain. You really did it, but the harem is as deep as the sea. Although Mom has never been in it, she knows how difficult it is, so you should be careful."
When Wu Zhao heard this, he said indifferently: "Hmph, what can be more difficult than what I have experienced in the past ten years? Everything depends on man-made things. I don't believe that if I am in charge of the harem, someone will cause trouble!"
Having said this, Wu Zhao looked at Yang and said, "Mom, all the gifts you have received recently, those related to the Wu family, should be returned."
"Take them all back?" Yang was a little confused. That was not a small amount.
Wu Zhao said calmly: "Yes, go back. Didn't you accept many officials? For example, Li Yifu, he gave a lot of things, and I am very optimistic about him."
"He was the one who first proposed to abolish Wang Liwu, and he has always been working under me in the past few years. He is loyal and loyal. Isn't he much better than the people in the Wu family?"
"Besides, who would lack what they have?"
"After collecting their things, my daughter is worried that they will give us the name of being greedy for money!"
Yang nodded and agreed.
As if something suddenly occurred to him, Yang said, "I met Li Yunxiao today."
"Oh, I know, he is here to discuss things with His Majesty. He has been busy with a lot of things in recent days. Such terrifying financial resources..."
"Huh? What happened when you met him?"
Yang said: "Today he told me that he had paid back the favors he owed us many years ago, and now we don't owe each other anything."
"The favor? Is it over?"
Wu Zhao's eyes wandered and she fell into deep thought. It wasn't that she didn't know when to repay the favor, but she felt that Li Yunxiao had helped her many times.
For example, the scene when he first rescued her, in the early years in the palace, she wanted to see it every night.
But now she heard another meaning from the words.
That is, she, Wu Zhao, and Li Yunxiao have no connection or attraction at all, so there is no need for her to thank them.
"Wu'er, do you want to consider subduing him and working under you?"
As if meeting his mother for the first time, Wu Zhao pointed at himself with a sneer: "Do you want your daughter to conquer him?"
Wu Zhao sneered and said: "Mother, not to mention me, even His Majesty can't accept Li Yunxiao. Looking at it, except Taizong, Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang, who can talk and laugh with him?"
"Don't think about it. My daughter can only say that she will try her best. If she is lucky enough to get it, she will be happy. After all, he alone... is more useful than all my men put together!"
Yang sighed and chatted with him for a while before being sent away by Wu Zhao.
....
At the same time, above the Xiaolou, Li Yunxiao and Li Chunfeng were sitting on it drinking.
In front of Li Yunxiao was a two-meter piece of drawing paper, and Li Yunxiao was painting on it calmly.
Surrounded by lights in front of us, the scenery of Chang'an in its heyday was even more beautiful and lively than during the Zhenguan period. Chang'an, the city that never sleeps, has long become the center of all nations.
Li Chunfeng laughed at the side and said, "I already knew that Brother Yunxiao likes to paint, but painting now seems to have a certain artistic conception in it."
Li Yunxiao stopped waving his hands and looked up at the night scene of Chang'an.
"Actually, there is no artistic conception. I just want to remember what it looks like now so that it will still look like this in the future..."
