Princess Taiping gave the Crown Prince a taste of his own medicine. She cleverly used the queen's suspicious nature to not only protect the Crown Prince but also eliminate Wei Tuan 'er and her group. Many internal officials related to Wei Tuan' er were removed from their positions, and the internal court was purged.
During this process, Shanghai Wan 'er's power began to consciously infiltrate the inner palace. In the past, Wan 'er did not care much about this. The limited connections and power she established were only to ensure that her eyes and ears were unobstructed so that she could have a certain ability to protect herself in the deceitful palace.
Thus, Shanghai Wan 'er's power was mainly concentrated in the Palace. In order not to clash with Wei Tuan' er, she did not extend her hands into the internal court. Now, for the safety of her langjun, she began to expand her power. Shanghai Wan 'er was close to the water, so the important positions in the internal court that were left vacant by Wei Tuan' er's group easily fell into her hands.
Princess Taiping also took this opportunity to expand her power in the Palace. Taiping originally only had a few eyes and ears in the Palace, and these people were not important figures in the internal court. Thus, sometimes in order to get some secret information in the Palace or to do something in the Palace, she needed to use Shanghai Wan 'er or bribe Wei Tuan' er.
Now, it was different. Taking advantage of the rapid collapse of Wei Tuan 'er's group, her people also obtained a few important positions in the internal court. Of course, the power she possessed in the Palace could not be compared to Wei Tuan 'er in the past, and it could not be compared to the current Shanghai Wan' er.
In the Palace, because of Wu Zetian's favor, no power could compete with Shanghai Wan 'er. Even if Shanghai Wan 'er did not compete, because of her special identity and status, there would be internal court eunuchs and female officials who took the initiative to rely on her. Moreover, she was now deliberately developing her own power.
However, for Princess Taiping, the power she controlled in the inner palace was enough. Unless she wanted to start a coup, having more power in the internal court was of no use to her. All she needed was sensitive eyes and ears, and she already had that.
Her brother, the Crown Prince, was saved, and she had expanded her power in the inner court. She could understand the Mother Empress's mood, mood, mood, sitting, sleeping, walking, and all kinds of actions at once. For Princess Taiping, this should have been a happy event. But with the series of actions that Wu Zetian had taken, she could not smile anymore.
The Crown Prince was imprisoned in the Eastern Palace, and all the officials in the Eastern Palace were dismissed. The Crown Prince was forbidden from meeting with the officials. The crown heir and the other imperial grandsons were all demoted to the rank of Junwang. What did this series of actions mean? The Crown Prince's life was saved, but his position as Crown Prince would soon be lost. If a nephew of the Wu Clan became the Emperor …
Thinking of this, Princess Taiping shuddered. She was the princess of the Tang dynasty. She was Li Zhi's daughter. This would never change. Just like her brother, the Crown Prince, Li Dan. Although he changed his name to Wu Dan, who would treat him as a member of the Wu Clan? Other people wouldn't, and he wouldn't either.
Up until now, the inheritance of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors only recognized the paternal line. This was true for others, and even more so for those involved. So, Princess Taiping was not willing to let the throne fall into the hands of the Wu Clan, even if her mother was the Empress. However, many people in the world did not recognize Wu Zetian's identity as the Empress. They also did not recognize the so-called Great Zhou Dynasty. In their eyes, it was only the daughter-in-law of the Li Clan that was in charge. Sooner or later, this daughter-in-law of the Li Clan would have to hand over the family business to her son.
Now, she wanted to hand over the country to an outsider and truly let an outsider be in charge. That was a completely different matter. The people in the world could not accept it, and Taiping was even more unable to accept it. What terrified her the most was that even though she was the daughter-in-law of the Wu Clan, if a member of the Wu Clan really became the Emperor, she might not even be able to keep her life, much less her two brothers.
Was the Li Clan going to be destroyed?
Was the Mother Empress so cruel?
Princess Taiping's heart was in a mess!
Li Yi stood beside Princess Taiping and secretly glanced at her. Seeing her gloomy face, he was speechless for a long time. He could not help but cough and said slowly, "Now that Yang Fan is in the Ministry of Justice, he is obviously going to be of great use. Or … he can become the Princess's support in the imperial court … "
Princess Taiping shook her head lightly and showed a faint worry on her face, "What happened to the person who interfered with the selection of the Crown Prince and favored Zhou Xing? What happened to the honorable Prime Minister? The selection of the Crown Prince is decided by the Mother Empress. Interfering with the selection of the Crown Prince is tantamount to looking down on the monarch's power. This is the thing that the Mother Empress values the most. How can she allow others to touch it? Yang Fan will not be of much use in this aspect. Even … "
Princess Taiping took a deep breath and slowly exhaled. Her serious face relaxed because of this, showing a bit of softness and charm. In the softness and charm, there was a bit of desolation, like a withering flower in the autumn wind, "Even because of this, it is inconvenient for me to be too close to him …"
Princess Taiping paused and sighed again, "Moreover, it is still a problem whether he can stand firm in the Ministry of Justice. There is no mediocre person in the Three Law Departments. Now that Lang has jumped out of nowhere and stepped on their heads, it will be difficult for him to win people's hearts … "
Li Yi asked carefully, "Should we help him?"
Princess Taiping raised her eyes and stared at his face coldly. Li Yi hurriedly bowed. Princess Taiping said lightly, "How can we help him? Do you think my power can interfere with the Three Law Departments? The Three Law Departments are the government that the Mother Empress values the most. It is fine if I don't show up, but if I show up, it will do him more harm than good. Moreover, with my power to help him suppress the officials in the Ministry of Justice, even if I succeed, he will not be able to stand firm there. Who would want to support an official who only knows how to rely on women? Just like Fu Youyi, he was promoted by the Mother Empress to be the Prime Minister, but what happened? There are some things that others cannot help him with. It depends on his own ability! "
…
Early in the morning, Xiao Mang personally helped her Langjun to freshen up. After breakfast, she helped Yang Fan put on the official uniform that she got from the Ministry of Appointments yesterday. He had a white muslin undershirt, a crooked collar that covered his knees, a pair of black leather shoes, a light crimson official uniform, a leather belt around his waist, a jade pendant and a green ribbon, a silver fish pouch, and a Xiezhi crown on his head.
After dressing up, Xiao Man took two steps back and looked at her Langjun's appearance from head to toe. Her husband dressed like this, apart from being handsome and handsome, he also looked a bit more dignified. She couldn't help but cover her mouth and laughed: "Oh, Langjun looks even more dignified than when you were in the army. Be careful when you go out later, don't scare the servants in the mansion."
Yang Fan looked at his appearance in the mirror and turned around. He stroked his non-existent beard and said in a deep voice, "How dare you, Xiao Mang! How dare you make fun of your husband! Someone, drag her away and flog her 20 times. Let's see if she will beg for mercy. "
Xiao Mang sneered and made a face at him. She said mischievously, "Come on, come on. I want to see who in this house dares to hit me. Hmph, showing off your authority at home. You're really something, Yang Langzhong."
Yang Fan laughed and said, "If no one is going to do it, then I'll do it myself!" After that, he opened his arms and threw himself at her. The two of them laughed for a while, and then Xiao Mang was caught by Yang Fan and placed on his lap.
Of course, Yang Fan didn't flog her. His hand naturally went into Xiao Mang's clothes. Xiao Mang was wearing the regular clothes of the inner residence. Inside the soft and loose clothes, her smooth, soft, tight, and powerful buttocks were half covered by Yang Fan's big hand. The delicate and smooth skin was like silk, making people unable to let go.
Xiao Mang had sex with him last night and climbed to the Western Paradise twice. Even now, her body was still very sensitive. When he touched her, her body had a strange feeling. She couldn't help but push his chest and said, "Okay, okay, don't mess around. Don't be late on the first day. You have to give your colleagues a good impression of being diligent."
As she said that, she straightened her soft and round waist and was about to get out of Yang Fan's arms. Xiao Mang's body exerted force, and Yang Fan felt the faintly bouncing buttocks in his palm. He couldn't help but put some strength in his hand to resist. Xiao Mang moaned, and her straightened waist softened.
Her tense body softened, and the extremely elastic "August 15th" returned to its soft and creamy feeling. The delicate buttocks felt as soft as water when he gently caressed them. Yang Fan's heart was filled with love. He gently bit Xiao Mang's ear, which was like a ingot, and asked softly, "Now that we are married and have a career, we only lack a baby. When will you give birth to one for Langjun?"
Xiao Mang blushed and stammered, "This … It's not up to me."
Yang Fan nodded and said, "Hmm … My wife's words are reasonable. I think it's because I didn't work hard enough. Then tonight …"
Halfway through his words, a slender finger pressed on his lips. Xiao Mang pouted and said, "How long have I been married to you? How can I have a child so quickly? You just promised me last night that you can't do it more than five times a month. Everything has to be done in moderation. If the Xiang Fire moves recklessly, it will harm the marrow, blood, kidneys … "
As her red mouth opened and closed, she was kissed by Yang Fan. Xiao Mang frowned slightly, and then like a ripple, her pink cheeks bloomed like two peach blossoms as her tongue was sucked by Yang Fan.
"Hmm …"
A light chirp jumped out of her red lips and flew away without a trace. It took a lot of effort for Xiao Man to break free from his bossy embrace. She pouted her pink lips and said, "I can't even kiss you. Don't act shamelessly. The next time is five days later. Otherwise, I will ignore you."
"Okay, okay!"
Yang Fan frowned and said, "Who asked me to be taken advantage of by you? Come, prepare a horse. I am going to the Qiu Guan Yamen to recuperate … "
Xiao Mang glared at him angrily. Yang Fan quickly changed his words and said, "Enforce the law impartially and diligently. I am going to the country!"
Xiao Mang's anger turned into joy and she said, "That's more like it!"
Third Sister held back her laughter and replied, "Ah Lang, the horse has already been prepared!"
