Wu Zetian replied without hesitation: "I don't deny this. It was me who gave the order to kill her sister-in-law."
Feiyun asked in confusion: "Since she has been deposed and relegated to the cold palace, why do you still want to kill her? Is it because she, like Concubine Xiao Shu, cursed you?"
Wu Zetian shook his head and said: "Although she has not cursed me, I cannot let her have the opportunity to leave the cold palace. Otherwise, it will not be her who dies, but me. As for this, I made it very clear last time, the harem In fighting, everyone depends on their own ability, and they become kings and losers. There is no right or wrong!"
Feiyun sighed, Wu Zetian was indeed an empress and had her own unique opinions. In terms of eloquence and knowledge, Feiyun knew that he was no match for her.
Feiyun thought of what Wu Zetian said to Miss Xiao a few days ago. I'm afraid she would still stick to her point of view. It would be difficult for her to give in and plead guilty.
Feiyun thought for a while and asked: "Since you admitted to killing this queen, why did you exile her family to Lingnan?"
Wu Zetian responded without any hesitation: "This is a normal thing. I can't leave a group of people who hate me to the core in the capital. I was benevolent at that time and thought that they would no longer pose a threat to me." , I didn’t kill them all. I didn’t expect that I would still fall into their hands today. It seems that there is no escape!”
Feiyun estimated that Wu Zetian saw only one person coming and thought he was unable to save her, so he lost confidence. If Wu Zetian saw that the good time and beautiful scenery were there, her confidence would naturally increase.
Feiyun also knew that without a good time and beautiful scenery, there was really nothing he could do. He couldn't leave, otherwise Mrs. Wang would definitely move to another place while he was gone. It will be even more difficult to find them in the future!
Feiyun could only think of staying here first. If he didn't go back to Guo Qingshan's house tomorrow night, Good Time and Beautiful View would know that things had changed again, and they would find this place. When the time comes, the three of them will have a chance to rescue Wu Zetian.
Seeing that Feiyun was silent, Wang Hai asked, "Young Master Lin, are you sure now whether she is guilty or not?" Wang Hai had actually been worried about Feiyun's conspiracy because he did not see the good time or the beautiful scenery.
But Wang Hai knew that these two girls were difficult to deal with. They might be hiding nearby, waiting for the right opportunity to strike. Therefore, Wang Hai didn't want to drag it out any longer, so he asked Feiyun.
Feiyun hesitated for a moment and said: "Mrs. Wang, Young Master Wang, your matter involves a battle in the palace, and I really can't tell you what is right or wrong. However, please give me a chance, and I will try my best to persuade her to kneel down and atone for her sin!"
Although Feiyun said who was right and who was wrong, he expressed his willingness to persuade Wu Zetian, indicating that he actually believed that Wu Zetian's actions, even if he could not be considered guilty, at least did not agree with Wu Zetian's words and actions.
Mrs. Wang and Wang Hai were greatly surprised by Feiyun's attitude. They then felt that Feiyun was not Wu Zetian's minion, but like a bodyguard who was paid to do things. Because Feiyun has always said that Wu Zetian's life cannot be harmed, as for Wu Zetian's attitude, Feiyun doesn't seem to care.
Even Feiyun himself was not polite to Wu Zetian and showed no respect at all. Just now, in order to stop Wu Zetian from speaking, Feiyun scolded and threatened Wu Zetian.
Mrs. Wang thought of this, nodded and said: "Shaoxia Lin, I can promise you this." Wang Hai then said: "It will be dark soon, I hope Shaoxia Lin can do it as soon as possible and don't delay deliberately. Shaoxia Lin's two younger sisters have strong martial arts skills until now. You haven’t shown up yet, are you waiting for some opportunity?”
Feiyun thought to himself that no wonder Wang Hai never believed in him and looked around from time to time. It turned out that he was worried that good times and beautiful scenery were hidden nearby.
Feiyun said quickly: "Young Master Wang, I misunderstood. We separated early in the morning in order to find you. How could we be together? But they saw it was getting dark and I didn't go to join them. It was indeed possible that they were looking for me everywhere. As for them I'm not sure whether I can find it here. Because I also came here by accident."
Feiyun naturally would not tell them the truth, so his words were very vague. He just wanted Wang Hai to be cautious and not dare to completely fall out with him easily. Feiyun said this, obviously telling Wang Hai that he himself was not sure where the good time and beautiful scenery were. As for whether it was nearby, he had no way of knowing.
Wang Hai and Mrs. Wang looked at each other, but there was nothing they could do. Wang Hai waved his hand and signaled Feiyun to persuade Wu Zetian. He called a few people over and muttered a few words. The few people nodded and left in a hurry.
Feiyun had already come to Wu Zetian at this time and said: "Mrs. Li, I am not interested in your grudges and I do not want to get involved. You are also aware of the current situation. I hope you can agree to their request. Bi Ren Death is a big deal, not to mention that the queen did help you, and you admit it yourself. As for her helping you, she may have other purposes, but you have also benefited after all. It doesn't seem to matter if you kneel down and worship her!"
Wu Zetian never expected that Feiyun would persuade her to agree to kneel down and atone for her sins, and immediately shouted loudly: "Stop talking! I would rather die than do such a humiliating thing! If you are unable to protect me, you can leave immediately. You are like this Your words and deeds are also an insult to me. I no longer need your protection! Let’s go!”
Wu Zetian was indeed very angry with Feiyun. Normally Feiyun was indifferent to her and did not treat her like an emperor, but she could still tolerate it. At this moment, Feiyun persuaded her to kneel down and atone for her sins, obviously thinking that she was indeed a sinner.
Seeing that Feiyun had saved her, Wu Zetian finally did not curse, but just asked him to leave. Of course, she also wanted Feiyun to take this opportunity to find a good time and beautiful scenery as soon as possible, and combine the power of the three of them to rescue her. Feiyun couldn't save her now anyway, so there was no use staying here. As for herself, she had no choice but to resign herself to fate!
Although Feiyun understood Wu Zetian's intention, he couldn't do that. If Wu Zetian died because of his departure, Feiyun would not be able to explain to Lin Yue. How could Feiyun abandon Wu Zetian and leave alone.
Feiyun waited for Wu Zetian to finish venting, and then continued to persuade. Feiyun told Wu Zetian that if she refused blindly, she might really lose her life. Feiyun advised her to learn from Goujian and endure the humiliation for the future.
Feiyun was actually hinting to her that a good time and beautiful scenery would definitely come, and only then would he have a chance to rescue her. But Wu Zetian still refused, seemingly not understanding what Feiyun meant.
Feiyun tried to persuade her for a long time, but Wu Zetian still refused to agree. Feiyun sighed and could only give up. He knew that he did not have the eloquence.
By this time night was falling and the sky was getting darker. Several men standing around lit torches and illuminated the open space at the entrance of the cave.
Feiyun turned around and came to Mrs. Wang and said, "Senior, you can see that I have tried my best. I wonder how you want to deal with her?"
Mrs. Wang also saw and heard that Feiyun was really trying to persuade Wu Zetian, and said: "This slut is very stubborn to begin with. It's normal that you can't persuade her. Since she doesn't want to take the initiative to kneel down, we have to tie her up." She, let her kneel down in front of the late queen's spiritual tablet to atone for Liu Qing's sin! I hope Shaoxia Lin won't interfere anymore, and I can promise you not to take her life for the time being! She refused a few days ago, and we did the same. You can also see it. There are no fatal injuries on her body!"
Since Mrs. Wang promised not to harm Wu Zetian, Feiyun didn't want to say any more useless words. Feiyun silently stepped aside to observe their change of mind. Of course, he was still thinking about how to successfully rescue Wu Zetian.
Mrs. Wang saw Feiyun step aside, undoubtedly indicating that she would not interfere, so she waved towards Wang Hai. When Wang Hai saw this, he said to the two strong men beside him: "Do it!"
The two men immediately held Wu Zetian in front of the queen's spiritual tablet. Wu Zetian still did not agree. The two strong men grabbed Wu Zetian's arm with one hand, pressed the other hand on Wu Zetian's shoulder, and worked hard together.
Wu Zetian suddenly felt that there seemed to be a huge weight on her shoulders. Her legs couldn't bear it anymore and she knelt down in front of Queen Wang's spiritual tablet. One of them pressed his right hand on Wu Zetian's head and kowtowed ten times to the spiritual tablet! Although Wu Zetian kept struggling, how could she break free. After that, the two strong men continued to hold Wu Zetian down on her knees.
When Feiyun saw this, he asked Mrs. Wang: "Senior, since I have forced her to kneel down to atone for her sins, why do you still have her kneeling down?"
Mrs. Wang said calmly: "She did not take the initiative or willingly to atone for her sins. Naturally, it is not too much to kneel for a longer time and let her repent for an hour!"
Feiyun couldn't bear it and said: "Senior, she is old after all, can you give me some respect and not let her kneel for so long?"
Although Feiyun didn't like Wu Zetian, he didn't want to see her suffer such torture at such an advanced age. Feiyun had no choice but to directly plead with Mrs. Wang on behalf of Wu Zetian.
Mrs. Wang was silent for a while and said: "Since Mr. Lin kept his promise and did not interfere, I will make an exception and agree to your request, shortening the time by half an hour!" After speaking, Mrs. Wang explained to Wang Hai.
Feiyun quickly expressed his thanks, thinking that given Wu Zetian's physical condition, she should be able to hold on for half an hour. Besides, there's nothing wrong with letting her suffer a little. Who told her to do so many evil things before? You just refused to listen to your own good advice, so you deserve this punishment!
Half an hour passed quickly, and Wang Hai asked the two men to pull Wu Zetian up. Wu Zetian's legs and feet were already weak and she could not stand up at all. The two men looked at Wang Hai, and Wang Hai waved his hands, indicating for them to let go and let Wu Zetian sit on the ground.
Mrs. Wang looked at Feiyun and asked: "Young Master Lin, we are going to bring the slut into the cave. What are you going to do? Are you going to leave or stay here? Your martial arts are good, but I don't dare to let you in." Hole!"
