Chapter 465 Tang Travel (7)
"Then let's pinky swear." Wangyou stretched out her little hand.
Seeing this, Sun Wukong also stretched out a hand and made a pinky promise with Wangyou.
No unusual news came from Chang'an, and Empress Zhangsun was not punished at all. Although this was a result she had known for a long time, Wangyou was still unhappy.
That's true; the main culprit was Li Shimin.
Wangyou has no intention of killing her father for the time being, but she doesn't want him to have an easy time either.
"Monkey, monkey, will you come with me to get revenge?"
"Whoever bullies our Forget-Worry, I, Old Sun, will beat them to death with one blow."
"No, no, it's not that bad. If we kill him, the people's peaceful life will be ruined. Let him lose face."
“Alright, I’ll go with you.” Sun Wukong nodded in agreement.
Wangyou returned to her room, put the special ink she had been working on into her small bag, and then reached out to let Sun Wukong hug her.
"Let's go to the palace."
“Your father is the emperor.”
"He's not my father at all; at most, he's related to me by blood."
"Alright, alright, let's go." Sun Wukong said no more, picked up Wangyou and flew towards the palace.
The two arrived late at night, but Li Shimin was still awake, diligently reviewing memorials late into the night. He was undoubtedly a good emperor, but this did not dispel Wangyou's desire for revenge.
The two secretly placed sleeping pills around the entire palace, then swaggered in through the door.
“This emperor possesses a strong dragon aura; his future achievements will be remarkable!” Sun Wukong remarked, observing the dragon aura emanating from Li Shimin.
"It has nothing to do with me." Wangyou took out her brush, ink, and inkstone, ground the ink, and then went to Li Shimin's face, writing the words "scumbag father" and "idiot" on his face.
Then he found another blank sheet of Xuan paper and wrote another letter to Li Shimin in a long and splendid manner: You damned old deng, you stinking old deng, why should I have to bear the grievances myself? You are blind and mindless, you only see your empress, you know nothing about the situation of the other princes and princesses, you are simply the most, most, most annoying old deng in the world.
If I'm not happy, you shouldn't be either. Since you haven't given me justice, I'll get it myself. The ink on your face is specially made by me, and it will take a month to wash off. So just enjoy being embarrassed. Oh, and I forgot to tell you, even makeup can't cover it up; it'll only make it clearer.
Don't worry, I've prepared it for you. I won't forget your good empress either. Since you two love each other so much, you should share the hardships together. This is your retribution, Lao Deng!
"Monkey, monkey, let's hurry to the Queen's palace!"
"Alright, let's go." Sun Wukong picked up Wangyou and in the blink of an eye, the two arrived at the Empress's palace. At this time, the Empress's palace was quiet, but the sleeping potion still had to be administered.
Wangyou wrote the words "Poisonous Empress, Mother's Killer" on Empress Zhangsun's face.
He also left her a letter: "Back then, you caused my mother's death in childbirth while you were in the cold palace. Afterwards, you not only mistreated me but also sent people to poison me several times. In my eyes, even if you die ten thousand times, it wouldn't be enough to compensate for the grievances I suffered. However, Li Shimin is not a very good-tempered man. If you die, many ministers in the court will die, and they are innocent."
You'd better advise Li Shimin to stop committing murders, otherwise I'll settle all old scores and make you and your children go down to apologize to my mother.
After finishing writing, Wangyou barely managed to vent her anger. "Monkey, let's go!"
"You've suffered so much injustice, why don't you kill them? Your hands can't get dirty, I, Old Sun, can do it too."
“They cannot die, at least not now. You said that Li Shimin has a strong dragon aura, which means he will be a good emperor in the future. But right now, the court is beset by internal and external troubles, and the people cannot withstand the chaos of war. He can stabilize the court. If we compare Li Shimin to a sword that has been drawn from its sheath, then Empress Zhangsun is the scabbard. Therefore, she cannot die yet.”
"Wangyou, you think a lot at such a young age. But if you ever feel like taking action, just tell me and I'll do it for you."
"Then forget it. There's an old saying that goes, 'What's so scary about death? It's worse than being dead.'"
Wangyou smiled. How could she let Empress Zhangsun off so easily? That would be too unfair to her mother who had risked her life to bring her into the world. She was still useful now, and she would continue to be useful to Li Shimin in the future.
When Wangyou was writing on Empress Zhangsun's face, she noticed that her complexion was not good, so she took her pulse and found that it indicated she was about to die. How could this be? So, she gave Empress Zhangsun a medicine.
The medicine doesn't seem to have any effect now, but one day when her lesions burst and she's nearing death, the medicine's effects will become apparent, prolonging her life and allowing her to live. However, the price is that she will suffer half a day of torment every day and won't even be able to die.
This medicine will torment her for more than a decade, which is more than enough.
"Oh, right, Wangyou, you can take this wooden plaque back," Sun Wukong said, taking the plaque off his neck.
"You should wear it for now. It can shield you from all your energy, so others can't predict your movements." Wangyou didn't accept it.
"Alright then!" Sun Wukong had guessed some of it, and he didn't want to be a pawn of those gods and Buddhas, so he continued to wear it around his neck.
Sun Wukong didn't ask Wangyou where the item came from, even though he saw that Wangyou was also wearing one around her neck, and it looked to be made of the same material. But he wisely refrained from asking any further questions.
After returning to Qingtian Village, Wangyou continued her daily life of studying and practicing martial arts, while Sun Wukong was also busy improving his cultivation and never slacked off.
Even Wangyou knows to seek revenge when she's wronged, so why can't Sun Wukong seek revenge after suffering such a great injustice? It's just that his strength is still somewhat lacking, and besides, he wants to stay with the child for a long, long time.
Meanwhile, the emperor and empress in the palace were furious that someone had written words on their faces. Li Shimin was furious, and Empress Zhangsun's face was also full of gloom. The problem was that no one in the entire palace noticed anything unusual.
The couple were so angry they wanted to kill someone, but their public image had only just been established, and killing a large number of eunuchs and palace maids now would be detrimental to their reputation.
These days, Li Shimin has been secretive about attending court, and he has developed a slight resentment towards the Empress. It is believed that, given time, this resentment will only deepen.
After all, a dead white moonlight is the true white moonlight; a living one is just a sticky rice cake.
A year later, Wangyou decided to teach the boys and girls in Qingtian Village.
That year, the people of Qingtian Village passed the test of Wangyou. Although she did not intend to rebel, she still needed confidants. Moreover, since she lived in Qingtian Village, she had to bring the people of Qingtian Village into her base.
After a year of planting, cotton, potatoes, and sweet potatoes have been harvested, and the people of Qingtian Village no longer have to worry about not having enough to eat.
Wangyou instructed the village chief that he could sell to familiar villages, but he could not report it to the government. As for when the government would find out, they would deal with it when they did.
The village chief was deeply grateful; these days, everyone has a few relatives.
