The next morning, the two brothers entered the palace together. Xue Shao settled his elder brother in the office of Zuo Fengchen Guard to be treated in person, and then went to the palace to inform him.

A court meeting was held in Hanyuan Hall, and of course Wu Zetian was hosted. Xue Shao could only go to the Assistant Academy next to Xuanzheng Hall to find the Queen's personal secretary Xunwen the Queen's itinerary today, and "make an appointment" to meet.

The Assistant Academy is a place that specializes in managing and distributing memorials and documents sent by various prefectures and counties, such as an archives bureau or document mailing room. In the past, this place was not very prominent, but after Wu Zetian came to the court, all female officials were selected to do their jobs. Memorials from various yamen had to be handed over to Wu Zetian. These female officials were Wu Zetian's confidants, so the status of the Assistant Academy was particularly important - which memorials could be reached directly to the heavens as soon as possible, and which memorials would be postponed indefinitely or even muddy into the sea, all within the control of the female officials!

The female official who was originally responsible for the affairs of the harem became a group of upstarts in the court. The most conspicuous of these was of course Shangguan Wan'er, who was 16 years old, was charming and extremely intelligent.

It is also the person Xue Shao is looking forward to meeting here now.

When they arrived at the gate of the Assistant Academy, the Jinwu Guard soldiers who were guarding the gate stopped Xue Shao and refused to let him in.

"Who is coming and what happened?" the soldier asked Xue Shao coldly.

The Jinwu Guard is specifically responsible for the daily security and martial law in the south of the imperial city, the government hall and the Chang'an city, and its functions are between the imperial guards and the government soldiers.

"I have something to ask for the Queen of Heaven," said Xue Shao.

"Why are you going to the Assistant Academy to see the Queen of Heaven?" The soldier looked up and down at Xue Shao's embroidered clothes, and said unceremoniously, "Since you are from Fengchenwei, you should know the rules. Either go to the court meeting, or wait for the Queen of Heaven to get off the court meeting before going to the imperial study room to ask for a meeting."

Xue Shao held back his temperament and said calmly: "I just want to inform the queen of the emperor first and ask them to arrange an audience according to the queen's itinerary. If you can't arrange it too late, you will delay important matters."

"Stop talking nonsense, go!" The sergeant was very polite.

Xue Shao frowned. The innocent face of a gentle and gentle person was like this when he came to the palace. He was prone to encounter walls everywhere and was treated coldly. Each yamen has its own rules of service. If he was comfortable, he would be lucky. If he met someone who picked up a chicken feather as an arrow, he could only admit that he was unlucky!

There was no need to argue with a small man in public. Xue Shao glanced at him coldly at the servant who was about to go outside the imperial study to try his luck to find the queen. A person came out of it. His voice was very sharp and loud, "Oh, isn't this General Xue!"

Xue Shao looked back and saw a short man with an ugly looking arched back and was walking towards him, wearing a light armor that was not so fit, just like a new official in Bima Wen who took office and wore an official uniform, looking quite funny.

The Zuo Lang General of the Zuo Jinwu Guard and Emperor Wu Yizong.

"It turns out to be General Wu, I'll be lucky!" Xue Shao bowed and thought to himself, why was Emperor Wu Yizong here? The young master stopped me and refused to let me in. Could it be because he was inside?

"General Xue, how could he come here?" Wu Yizong said with a smile. But his smile was a little cold, which made Xue Shao mistakenly think that he was actually crying.

"I want to report some things to the Queen of Heaven, but I can't wait for the Queen of Heaven to come to court, so I want to ask the Queen of Heaven's servants to pass on the post." Xue Shao said, "But this Academy seems not so easy to get in."

Wu Yizong kicked the little pawn beside him, "All the bastards, General Xue dared to stop him!"

"I know my mistake!" The young man hurriedly begged for mercy.

Wu Yizong kicked the young master and bowed to Xue Shao and said with a smile: "My subordinates are ignorant, please don't blame General Xue - please!"

"Thank you!" Xue Shao bowed and returned the gift without saying much, and walked in directly.

Wu Yizong stared at Xue Shao's back, spat, and patted the pawn on the shoulder, "I'm sorry for you, I'll be rewarded."

Xue Shao entered the Attendant Academy and a eunuch came up to ask questions. Xue Shao said he would come to Shangguan Wan'er. The eunuch didn't ask much, and directly took Xue Shao to an official office and said, "General, this is Shangguan Siyan's official office, please!"

"Si Yan?" Xue Shao couldn't help but smile. She had not seen each other for two days and was promoted.

The door of the official office was closed, and Xue Shao knocked on the door.

"No one will see you, let's go later!" Shangguan Wan'er's voice came from it, quite majestic.

Xue Shaoluo was stunned for a moment. Hearing her voice, she seemed to be in a bad mood, so she knocked on the door again, "Miss Shangguan, Xue Shao is asking for a meeting."

"It's Mr. Xue!... I really apologize, please wait!"

After a while, Shangguan Wan'er came forward to open the door. Yanran smiled and bowed to Xue Shao, "I don't know it's Mr. Xue, please forgive me!"

Xue Shao's fiery eyes swept her face and frowned, "Can I come in?"

"please!"

There are mountains of memorials and files piled up in Shangguan Wan'er's official office, but they do not seem messy at all. There is also a celadon vase next to the desk with three February peach blossoms inserted into it. The fragrance and elegance adds a bit of charm and vitality to the desk office.

Shangguan Wan'er personally brought a bed for Xue Shao. Xue Shao didn't sit down and looked at the door with no outsiders. Xue Shao said, "Why are you crying?"

Shangguan Wan'er was a little stunned, quickly wiped her eyelids, and forced a smile: "It's nothing... What's wrong with Mr. Xue?"

"My business is, ask why you are crying?" Xue Shao frowned.

"Young Master Xue, it's really nothing!" Shangguan Wan'er said.

Xue Shao said calmly: "Am I meddling in other people's business?"

"..." Shangguan Wan'er turned to avoid Xue Shao's eyes, shook her head gently, and said, "Young master, Wan'er is a person living in the inner court. It is normal to suffer a little grievance occasionally. It is normal to hide and wipe a tear or two occasionally."

Xue Shao frowned, "It is because you have lived in the inner court for so many years that you have long developed the wisdom and perseverance that ordinary people do not have, so what can make you hide and cry is definitely not an ordinary grievance!"

Shangguan Wan'er turned sideways to Xue Shao, and Yufeng had a clear ups and downs. She took a deep breath and her voice became cold and distant. "Mr. Xue, if you don't have official duties, please forgive Wan'er for being in a key position for the time being."

"Okay..." Xue Shaorui smiled and said, "My brother, Xue Ying, the governor of Jeju, came to Beijing with the emperor's order and had arrived in Beijing. He was waiting for the call from the general's office of Zuo Fengchenwei, and asked for an appointment."

"Wan'er will make arrangements and will not let Xue Junhou wait for a long time..." Shangguan Wan'er said in a formal tone, her voice very low.

"Thank you, goodbye." Xue Shao bowed and turned around and walked out.

"Young Master..." Shangguan Wan'er lowered her voice behind him.

Xue Shao turned around, "Is there anything else in Si Yan?"

Shangguan Wan'er turned around and faced Xue Shao. Her tears had reached her eyes. She was obviously suppressing and holding back her. She raised her lips and smiled slightly and bowed to Xue Shao, "Please...it's easy to leave."

Xue Shao did not respond and continued to walk forward.

Shangguan Wan'er's two lines of tears flowed down.

Xue Shao walked to the door and stopped, reached out to cover the door, and turned around and walked towards Shangguan Wan'er.

Shangguan Wan'er was shocked, turned around quickly, waved her sleeves to wipe her tears.

Xue Shao walked half a step behind her and stopped, "Tell me, what happened?"

Shangguan Wan'er shook her head, but she still waved her sleeves to wipe her tears without responding.

"Is it Wu Yizong?" Xue Shao's voice sank slightly. He fantasized in his heart that the weak man Wu Yizong had made ill-treat actions against Shangguan Wan'er, and he couldn't help feeling disgusted and angry.

Shangguan Wan'er shook her head with her back to Xue Shao. After hesitating for a moment, she took out two pieces of paper and handed it to Xue Shao.

Xue Shao took it over and saw that it was two poems. His handwriting was beautiful and beautiful. It was obviously a love poem written by a woman to the man she liked. His love was obscure and implicit, full of the youthful feelings of a girl who had just begun to feel love.

"This is a poem you wrote to the former crown prince Li Xian?" Xue Shao asked.

Shangguan Wan'er nodded, "It was brought by Emperor Wu Yizong just now..."

"Where did he get it?" Xue Shao frowned, probably knowing what was going on.

"I don't know." Shangguan Wan'er said, "Wu Yizong just came to send me advice, and these two poems were intertwined with asking for advice."

"Who asked for advice? What kind of advice?" Xue Shao asked.

"Duke Liang, Wu Sansi." Shangguan Wan'er took a deep breath, with a hint of trembling in her voice, "He asked me to attend the Qushui Liushang and Poetry and Wine Conference he held at home."

After hearing this, Xue Shao could no longer understand. Wu Sansi and Guan Wan'er had a relationship with Li Xian as a threat, and wanted to "hidden rules" to "supportant rules."

"Are you willing to go?" Xue Shao said.

"If you want to go, why is Wan'er like this?" Shangguan Wan'er said, "Duke Liang is the nephew of the queen of the emperor. Although Wan'er is also valued by the queen of the emperor, she can't beat relatives and nobles after all. In the final analysis, the queen and Duke Liang are a family, and Wan'er is just a slave or a plaything. No matter what Duke Liang wants to treat Wan'er, even if the queen knows, she will not blame him deeply. Wan'er... what can she do?"

When Xue Shao heard her, he obviously wanted to ask for help.

Even if she doesn't ask for help, in public or private affairs, how could she let someone like Wu Sansi get involved in Shangguan Wan'er?!

Xue Shao stretched out a hand and gently put it on Shangguan Wan'er's shoulder.

Shangguan Wan'er's body trembled slightly, she stood still and did not move, nor did she hide.

"You are right. The Queen of Heaven and Wu Sansi are a family. The owner of the family wants to take care of the slaves in the family, no one can control it." Xue Shao said, "But there is someone who can definitely help you."

"Young Master is saying... Your Highness Prince?" Shangguan Wan'er shook her head quickly, "No, no! If the queen knew about Wan'er and the former prince, she might be punished together with His Highness Prince!"

"Don't worry, I have my own way." Xue Shao gently patted Shangguan Wan'er on the shoulder and said, "You and I have a family friend, and the girl helped me again and again. Xue should be rewarded."

"Young Master..." Shangguan Wan'er said softly, "No matter whether you can really help Wan'er, with your words, Wan'er will be able to comfort her whole life!"

"Please give me advice!" Xue Shao let go of his hand and said.

Shangguan Wan'er hesitated for a moment, walked to the table and took out a copy of the advice. Xue Shao spread out and took a look. Wu Sansi asked Shangguan Wan'er to come to his mansion to attend the poetry and wine meeting tomorrow at noon.

"Goodbye." Xue Shao took the advice and bowed and prepared to leave.

"Young Master!" Shangguan Wan'er called out hurriedly.

"There's something else?"

Shangguan Wan'er's eyes were still dry and her eyes were red. She said quickly: "This matter is big or small, and there is a lot of danger. Young Master, please don't worry! I think I'm just a servant after all..."

"I'm going to do it!" Xue Shao smiled slightly, opened the door and walked out with big sprints.
