In my dream of returning to the Tang Dynasty, I snatched Wu Zetian from my lap.
Chapter 22: The Death Sentence!
In an instant, many possible people flashed through his mind, but Wei Zheng was not one to act impulsively or personally, and did not seem like the type to engage in such underhanded tactics.
Li Chengqian and Li Tai had a stronger motive.
She had repeatedly refused their attempts to win her over, and Wu Zetian had even returned the gifts from the Crown Princess.
"Your Majesty..." He wanted to ask more.
But Consort Yang interrupted, her tone gentle and kind: "Your Highness, please don't ask me any more questions. His Majesty didn't tell you, and it's not appropriate for me to say anything."
"And the fact that you were unaware of it is actually good for you."
As she spoke, she let out a soft sigh.
"As for this marriage... Your Highness, please forget about it."
Li Yuanchang gritted his teeth, unable to accept it: "Your Majesty, in my heart, she is already my wife!"
Consort Yang was stunned. She hadn't expected Li Yuanchang to be so tough. He had already said so much; anyone else would have cut ties long ago.
It's rare to see such a devoted lover in the royal family.
She hesitated slightly, then reluctantly spoke.
"Your Highness, let me tell you this: if you continue to act so recklessly, you will most likely get her killed."
boom!
Li Yuanchang was struck dumb, and his eyes were filled with horror as he looked at Consort Yang.
But Consort Yang looked at him so seriously, she was definitely not joking.
Li Yuanchang felt completely overwhelmed and became even more anxious: "Your Majesty, what is wrong?"
He went to find Wu Meiniang himself, but Wu Meiniang was about to die. What exactly happened?
Consort Yang took a deep breath.
"Speaking of which, this matter is my fault. If I had been more careful in handling things back then and had prevented that portrait from appearing, perhaps none of this would have happened today."
"Fine, I won't say it. You might live with these questions for the rest of your life. Letting you know will help you put an end to your hopes."
Li Yuanchang stared intently.
Consort Yang dismissed the palace maids and hesitated before asking, "Have you ever heard of Yuan Tiangang?"
"Yuan Tiangang?" Li Yuanchang's expression brightened slightly.
This man and Li Chunfeng created the Tui Bei Tu, which is said to have predicted the future of China for thousands of years. They are famous throughout history, and even now, people of later generations know about these two super charlatans.
Consort Yang was solemn when she suddenly revealed a huge secret!
"It is said that the renowned master of divination, Yuan Tiangang, once traveled to Chaotian Temple. When he reached the most dangerous part of the Shu Road, he suddenly saw a royal aura rising to the sky in Licheng. He then entered the city and examined the face of the daughter of the warrior Hu Shi, saying that she had dragon eyes and a phoenix neck, which was extremely auspicious."
"They even said that if this child were a girl, she would become the ruler of the world!"
boom!
Li Yuanchang's pupils dilated, and a storm of shock surged through his heart!
He should be the ruler of the world…!
"Now you should understand why His Majesty was willing to break his promise to stop this wedding, right?"
"His Majesty did not execute her directly, which is already a consideration for the face of His Highness and the martyrs of the Wu family. Apart from His Majesty, few emperors could do this."
Li Yuanchang was unable to recover from the shock for a long time.
This prophecy isn't even a prophecy; it's a fact!
Many people only know that Wu Zetian usurped the power of the Li Tang imperial family, but few people know that Wu Zetian actually changed the dynasty and ascended the throne, even changing the flags of the army.
Immediately afterwards, he suddenly recalled that not long ago, Li Shimin had asked him why he had to choose Wu Zetian over so many other women.
Isn't this just suspicion and testing?
If I were to show that I knew about these things, I would inevitably be suspected of rebellion!
The thought sent a chill down his spine!
This sorcerer Yuan Tiangang actually exists, and he can actually see Wu Zetian's destiny!
This almost overturned his understanding: could there really be a God?
Faced with Consort Yang's confession, he couldn't utter a single word, only feeling despair.
What Consort Yang said was absolutely true. If an emperor heard such words, he would order his men to shake the eggs to scatter them before executing nine generations of his family.
He didn't act directly because he was Li Shimin, and he was confident enough. Besides, killing the prospective Princess of Han on the day of his wedding would be somewhat unseemly.
a long time.
A long silence followed, broken only by the falling of withered leaves, much like the fate of this marriage.
Seeing him so distraught and utterly shocked, Consort Yang's serene and beautiful face showed a hint of sympathy.
"Your Highness, the timing of this incident is too coincidental; it's as if it were pre-arranged."
"Furthermore, your choice of Wu Mei has brought you a lot of trouble. However, His Majesty is kind and enlightened enough to only place the Wu family women under house arrest, not you. Do you understand?"
She's made it very clear: someone is targeting you.
You were originally supposed to be implicated in this matter, but Li Shimin didn't do that. He wouldn't kill people indiscriminately just because of a prophecy.
But if you are still eager to give up the marriage at this moment, things might not go as planned. At the very least, it will arouse Li Shimin's suspicion and displeasure.
Li Yuanchang's thoughts were in disarray, and he seemed somewhat lost and dejected.
On their wedding day, at the last minute, joy turned to sorrow!
That prophecy practically sealed his and Wu Zetian's fate.
He found it hard to accept, but couldn't find any way to resolve it, because once the prophecy reached Li Shimin's ears, its truth or falsehood became irrelevant.
Finally, he gave a bitter smile and looked at Consort Yang, whom he didn't actually know well.
"Your Highness, the Prince of Han will never forget your great kindness and virtue!"
"I shall take my leave now." He bowed deeply to show his gratitude and respect.
Consort Yang hummed in agreement, her bright eyes watching his retreating figure. She hesitated, unsure of what to say, and could only let out a soft sigh.
Born into such a royal family, one cannot escape the shackles and constraints.
You can't fight city hall; accepting your fate is the only option.
……
They returned to the Prince of Han's residence from the palace.
Li Yuanchang was in a daze and remained absent-minded.
Seeing this situation, everyone in the Prince's mansion probably understood that His Highness's audience with the Emperor this time was not going smoothly.
When Li Yuanchang entered the mansion, he saw the carpets and wedding invitations still on display, and the large banquet, and his heart felt even more heavy!
It took him less than a day to go from great joy to great disaster.
The idea that fortune and misfortune are interdependent is too philosophical.
After nightfall.
Fang Weng brought the food to Li Yuanchang with great concern.
"I can't eat anymore, Fang Weng, you may leave."
"Let me have some peace and quiet." Li Yuanchang's voice was slightly hoarse, and his eyes were vacant.
"But Your Highness, how can a person live without eating? No matter how big the problem is, you still need to eat, right? The wedding may be canceled, but life still goes on," Fang Weng advised.
"Put it anywhere, I'll eat it later, I'm fine," Li Yuanchang said again.
Upon hearing this, Fang Weng had no choice but to put down his chopsticks and leave with his men.
After the door closed, Li Yuanchang covered his forehead with both hands, appearing to be struggling.
He did not abandon Wu Meiniang because of the danger.
But all the methods he could think of seemed so pale and powerless in the face of that one sentence: "If this child were a girl, she would be the ruler of the world."
He hated the informer from the bottom of his heart!
Although Wu Zetian did indeed seize the throne from the Tang dynasty in history, she was just a young girl at the time, and her fate had already been altered by him.
These things are impossible unless one enters the palace.
Most importantly, Consort Yang's implication was clear: the person who deliberately framed her wasn't targeting Wu Meiniang; the Wu Meiniang incident was just a pretext, and the real target was herself!
I offended someone.
Is it Li Chengqian or Li Tai?
Thinking of this, he clenched his fists angrily, his knuckles turning white.
He roared inwardly, "I have been trying to avoid politics, being tactful and polite at every turn, and I am about to leave Chang'an. Why are you forcing me? Why?!"
