"… If it's for freedom, I can give up both!"
After Wu Meiniang left the palace, the scene of Consort Jin's consort selection quickly spread in Chang 'an City. Li Zhi was stunned when he heard the news that Consort Jin was chosen.
"I didn't expect Mei Niang to be so unyielding. Is it worth it for the so-called freedom?" Li Zhi said with mixed feelings.
What made him unwilling was that Mei Niang still refused the position of Consort Jin.
What made him gratified was that the reason Mei Niang refused was not because she fell in love with others, but for freedom.
What made him proud was that the woman he fell in love with was so unique.
What made him disappointed was that he was afraid that he would lose such a fairy-like woman.
Empress Zhangsun looked at Li Zhi, who had a complicated expression, and sighed, "Slave Zhi, do you remember that when you were young, you accidentally caught a bird and liked it very much. You locked it in a cage, but the bird didn't eat or drink until it died. Now, Wu Meiniang is like this wild bird. It's impossible to trap her in the palace. Forcing her to stay will only lead to a big mistake. "
"I understand." Li Zhi nodded.
This result was already within his expectations. After all, he had already won the support of the two big aristocratic families in the south and the north. Coupled with the entanglement with Wu Meiniang, at least the Mo Family could remain neutral in the future.
"It's good that you understand. Consort Xiao and Consort Xiao are both good girls. Since they have already become Consort Jin, then treat them well." Empress Zhangsun changed the topic. In her opinion, with Xiao Hui 'er and Wang Qiang, Li Zhi should soon forget Wu Meiniang.
However, what Empress Zhangsun didn't know was that the impact this matter had on Li Zhi could never be erased. He had always been the noblest prince ever since he was born. As long as he wanted something, there was nothing he couldn't obtain. He had never felt like he had lost anything, but now, he had lost the person he loved — Wu Meiniang.
"I lost Wu Meiniang because I'm just a prince. I can only give Mei Niang a caged version of Consort Jin's Mansion. If I become the emperor, I can give Mei Niang the entire Tang dynasty. Even if Mei Niang is a female eagle, she can still soar in the sky of the Tang dynasty." Li Zhi said in his heart. At this moment, his rebellious mentality to the extreme. This was the first loss in his life, the more he wanted to make up for it.
…
"Your Highness, you can't go out. The duke has decreed that this is a special period. No one is allowed to go out for no reason." Inside the Zhangsun Estate, Steward Zhangsun stopped Princess Gao Yang from leaving.
"What? This princess doesn't even have the freedom to go out. "Princess Gao Yang coldly snorted.
"Of course not. It's just that the future of the prince consort is uncertain. Princess, please act in a low-key manner." Butler Zhangsun bitterly pleaded.
"Low-key, this princess still needs to be low-key. If I continue to be low-key, anyone will dare to bully the imperial family. However, although Wu Meiniang is arrogant, she did something that suits this princess's temper. That is, she didn't enter the cage of the imperial palace. Life is precious, love is even more valuable. If it wasn't for freedom, both can be thrown away. Since this princess is already free, then I won't be restrained by anyone. "Princess Gao Yang wantonly said.
In order to leave the imperial palace, she sacrificed her love and married Zhangsun Chong who she didn't like. She paid such a high price to obtain her freedom, so she naturally had to enjoy it more.
After speaking! Princess Gao Yang ignored Zhangsun Wuji's ban and Zhangsun Chong's situation. She walked out of the Zhangsun Mansion with great fanfare and wantonly squandered her freedom. However, she didn't know that Wu Meiniang insisted on a bottom line of freedom, while she squandered her unrestrained freedom.
… … …
"What! Mei Niang, that wretched girl, actually rejected Princess Jin. "
In the Martial House, Wu Yuanshuang was shocked. He didn't expect Wu Meiniang to have such courage to actually reject the imperial family.
In this way, not only did the Wu Clan's plan to climb up to Prince Jin fail, they might even offend Prince Jin. It was simply trying to steal a chicken only to end up losing the rice used to lure it.
"Young Master Wu, don't worry. Although Wu Meiniang rejected the imperial family, it's impossible for Prince Jin to not feel Young Master Wu's sincerity. After all, Prince Jin wouldn't reject any help. As long as this line exists, Ziqian Clan might still have a chance." Yin-yang Zi shook his head.
Wu Yuanshuang nodded. Wu Meiniang retreated from the imperial palace unscathed, so there was still hope. However, what made him lament was that Wu Meiniang didn't become Princess Jin. His status in Prince Jin would be greatly reduced in the future, which made him somewhat unwilling.
Not only was Wu Yuanshuang unwilling, Yin-yang Zi was also unwilling. In his plan, whether Wu Meiniang was forced to enter the palace or Wu Meiniang was severely punished by the imperial family, the Mo Clan would be involved. However, he never thought that Wu Meiniang would actually return safely because of a poem.
"Master, what should we do now?"
After leaving the Martial House, the Yin-Yang School's Little Sorcerer frowned. They had finally found a Child of Destiny who could break out of the situation. After a series of plans, this Child of Destiny actually retreated unscathed, which made him fall into a daze.
"Freedom, we are trapped in a cage called Heaven and Earth, where is freedom?" Yin-yang Zi snorted.
The Little Sorcerer was surprised, "Master, you mean that Wu Meiniang is still in master's plan?"
Yin-yang Zi shook his head and said, "Wu Meiniang being able to retreat unscathed is indeed out of master's expectation. However, it is impossible for the Mo Clan to escape unscathed. They just have some initiative. Whether Wu Meiniang enters Prince Jin's palace or not, the Mo Clan is already in the game."
Nowadays, the Mo Clan was getting stronger day by day. How could the various forces in the imperial court ignore the Mo Clan? Although Wu Meiniang retreated unscathed, the Mo Clan couldn't. The Yin-Yang School might have a chance to harvest the Mo Clan's luck.
"Disciple, there is one thing that I don't understand. Even the Wang Clan of Taiyuan and the Xiao Clan of Lanling have seen the subtle position of Prince Jin, Li Zhi. I believe Mo Jiazi can't see it. Mo Jiazi actually took the initiative to use a poem to help Wu Meiniang escape just for Wu Meiniang's marriage. Is it worth it to offend the imperial family?" The Yin-Yang School's Little Sorcerer was confused.
"Mo Jiazi's actions have always been bold and unconstrained. Others can't see through him at all. Furthermore, he has continuously reversed Yin and Yang. Even master is confused," Yin-yang Zi said fearfully.
"Are we just going to let it go like this? For Wu Meiniang, my Yin-Yang School has spent a hundred years of luck to set up this trap, "the Yin-Yang School's Little Sorcerer said unhappily. The Yin-Yang School's Little Sorcerer said unwillingly. All along, the Yin-Yang School's layout had been based on Yin and Yang. However, Wu Meiniang was a woman. To reverse Yin and Yang, the Yin-Yang School had spent hundreds of years of luck to complete the layout.
Yin-yang Zi snorted and said, "Of course not. Although Wu Meiniang didn't get involved, her task has been completed. She has successfully aroused the ambition of Prince Jin. Once the layout of the Yin-Yang School has been started, it is destined to be unstoppable. The internal strife of the Tang dynasty will come one day. That will be the time for the Yin-Yang School to harvest the luck."
"Master, you are brilliant!" The Little Sorcerer said in surprise.
"However, this matter may not be without repercussions. I'm afraid that in the future, Chang 'an City will have more Yin than Yang." Yin-yang Zi said with a strange smile.
"More Yin than Yang? Won't the Tang dynasty be in chaos?" The Little Sorcerer said in surprise.
Yin-yang Zi sneered and said, "It's best if it's in chaos. Then, the Yin-Yang School can carry out the next step of the layout. With the help of Wu Meiniang's incident and the popularity of this free poem, I will ask the Mandate of Heaven to come up with a prosperous prophecy."
"Master, please be careful. Since ancient times, prophecies have been made in troubled times. Now that the Tang dynasty is prosperous, the Yin-Yang School will make prophecies in this prosperous era. The Yin-Yang School is going against Heaven. Once it fails, I'm afraid it will backfire!" The Little Sorcerer said with a frightened face.
Yin-yang Zi said with a solemn face, "If it's a normal era, I will naturally not go against Heaven. But now that Mo Jiazi has reversed Yin and Yang, the Tang dynasty has already shown signs of Yin flourishing and Yang declining. Now, the Yin-Yang School is taking advantage of the situation. With the help of the Mo family's irresistible luck, Yin flourishes and Yang declines, I will use the Yin-Yang School's five hundred years of luck to make a prosperous prophecy."
Yin-yang Zi's heart was surging. Once this prophecy was made, he would create the history of the Yin-Yang School, the first prosperous prophecy.
The Little Sorcerer of the Yin-Yang School was stunned. He did not expect that his master's plan was to use the luck of the Mo family. After all, the Yin-Yang School was born to deal with the Mo family, but he did not expect that they would cooperate with the Mo family in disguise.
However, the Little Sorcerer of the Yin-Yang School thought about it carefully. This might not be impossible. If the luck of the Mo family and the Yin-Yang School were combined into one, it might be possible to promote the luck of the Tang dynasty.
"Master, please make the prophecy."
Yin Yangzi enunciated each word clearly, "Nü — Zhu — Chang."
