  Chen Yi quickly felt a sharp gaze directed at him, and was startled into lowering his head, following the pretty palace maid quietly inside. He also caught sight of Sun Simiao sitting to one side, smiling at him as he withdrew his gaze from the hall.

  Sun Simiao was indeed in the temple! Chen Yi put down more than half of his heart, with this old Taoist accompanying him, the feeling of loneliness and helplessness immediately decreased.

  "Your Ladyship, Mr. Chen has arrived!" The pretty palace maid's voice rang out after Chen Yi stood still.

  Chen Yi didn't need anyone to prompt him, he immediately stepped forward, bowed his head and paid respects to Wu Zetian sitting in the hall: "Your humble subject has seen the Empress Dowager!" It's good that he came to the Great Tang Dynasty, even when entering the palace to meet with Wu Zetian, this Empress Dowager, he didn't need to perform any grand rituals like three kneels and nine bows, it felt much more comfortable. He just didn't know what to call himself in front of Wu Zetian, using the title "humble subject" should be safe enough.

  "Dispense with the formalities! Are you Chen Yi?" The voice of Wu Zetian rang out, melodious and pleasant to hear. However, after glancing at Chen Yi who stood with his head bowed, she didn't wait for him to react and immediately turned her head towards Sun Simiao sitting on one side, smiling as she said: "Sun Daozhang, I truly didn't expect the young divine doctor you spoke of to be so youthful, even younger than what this palace had imagined. Indeed, people can't be judged by appearances!"

  In Chen Yi's whisper, Sun Simiao's gentle voice rang out, "I think that when the princess saw Ziying, she would definitely say so! Without hiding from the princess, after seeing Ziying's unconventional views on medical principles, I was also very surprised! But there are always many people in the world who have extraordinary talents and know many things that ordinary people can't understand, just like Ziying, and some eccentric people recorded in history! Hehe..."

  When Wu Zetian and Sun Simiao said this, Chen Yi was very embarrassed. He was also curious about what expression Wu Zetian had when she said this, but he didn't dare to look up at her. He stood there awkwardly, not knowing how to react. Amidst his embarrassment, he felt another pair of eyes looking over at him. Glancing sideways, it was the palace maid known as Tuan'er, whose eyes were filled with curiosity and inquiry.

  Chen Yi couldn't help but smile slightly, with a hint of complacency, when his eyes met those of the lovely palace maid. It seemed that this "Tuan'er" was only curious because she had overheard the conversation between Wu Zetian and Sun Simiao. Chen Yi's gaze had a somewhat self-satisfied tone to it. As a result, the lovely palace maid subtly rolled her eyes, twitched the corner of her mouth, turned her head away, and displayed an air of disdain, leaving Chen Yi's charming eyes with nowhere to go.

  Chen Yi didn't mind, because at this time Wu Zetian's voice rang out again. "Chen Yi, the palace heard that Sun Daochang said you understand many profound medical principles, many of which Sun Daochang has never heard of before. Tell me, where did you learn such profound medical principles?"

  Wu Zetian's question was still quite unexpected to Chen Yi, he didn't think that after just saying two sentences, Wu Zetian would turn the conversation to this topic. With a puzzled expression, he involuntarily raised his head and glanced at Wu Zetian, only to see her get up from her seat and walk towards him. Hurriedly lowering his head, he replied very seriously: "In response to Your Majesty's question, I have been deeply fond of reading since childhood, my ancestors passed down a few medical books which I have thoroughly studied, that's why I understand these things..."

  The words had barely left his lips when Chen Yi stopped short, for he saw that Wu Zetian was already standing beside him.

  "Sun Daochang, this Chen Yi you've taken in is indeed no ordinary person. His demeanor is different from others, and he didn't show any fear when he saw me. He even dared to fight with my two useless nephews that day. No wonder you looked at him differently!" Wu Zetian said with a smile to Sun Simiao before turning to Chen Yi, "Chen Yi, lift your head up!"

  "Yes, Your Majesty! Please forgive me for my rudeness!" Chen Yi apologized and then lifted his head to gaze steadily at Wu Zetian in front of him.

  At close range, he finally saw Wu Zetian's appearance clearly.

  A delicate face, a slender and fair neck, and exquisite attire presented to Chen Yi a very dignified and noble woman.

  Today's Wu Zetian is dressed very nobly, with a high bun on her head and a single pure gold phoenix hairpin inserted in the middle of the bun. The hairpin is set with a thumb-sized fiery red gemstone that hangs just above her eyebrows, complementing the horizontally spread wings of the hairpin, making it a pleasure to behold. There are also several other hairpins inserted horizontally into the bun, which match perfectly and look particularly noble. She wears a bright yellow embroidered dress on her body, with golden threads embroidered phoenixes and peonies that seem lifelike, and a wide gold belt around her waist, exuding an air of majesty and nobility that is hard to describe. Compared to the simple attire of the suspected Wu Tuan'er by her side, it's unknown how many times more stunning she looks.

  The waistband around Wu Zetian's waist completely accentuated her beautiful figure, it was hard to believe that Wu Zetian, who had given birth to many children, still had such a good figure. Her waist was slender, her bust full, and under the light-colored blouse, the high twin peaks seemed to be bursting through the thin fabric that wrapped around them. Even just standing there like this, Chen Yi could see the enticing half-exposed breasts.

  Chen Yi suddenly thought of the documentary "Da Ming Palace" he watched in later generations. The Wu Zetian in it was also very revealing, with two large hemispheres exposed, especially when Li Shimin was seriously ill and standing by his side, tempting Li Zhi, making people have a strong desire to swallow their saliva. At that time, Chen Yi felt that the actor's clothes were a bit too much, giving people a strange feeling. But seeing the real Wu Zetian, he suddenly understood. The Wu Zetian in front of him was slightly more revealing than the one on TV. All that can be said is that the clothing of Tang Dynasty noblewomen was not conservative at all.

  Perhaps all of this wasn't what shocked Chen Yi the most, including Wu Zetian's half-exposed bosom that was not far from him. What made him feel astonished was that Wu Zetian's face gave him a familiar feeling, as if he had seen it somewhere before, and he couldn't help but take another two glances.

  Why is there such a feeling?

  He Lan Minzhi had this feeling when he saw He Lan Minyue in women's clothing, but he knew it was because of the dream; When diagnosing Wu Xun's illness, it seemed to have happened before, and at that time, I thought it was because Wu Xun was He Lan Minyue's mother, so I didn't think it was too strange. But facing Wu Zetian up close made him feel very surprised, this familiarity, the feeling of having seen her before, made him eat in surprise, this would definitely not be because of He Lan Minyue. Looking back, he always felt that Wu Xun's face seemed to have been seen somewhere, but couldn't remember, just because Wu Xun was ill and had no vitality, if Wu Xun recovered, maybe this feeling would be even stronger!

  Wasn't Wu Zetian the noble lady who appeared in his dream when he crossed over? But at that time, Chen Yi didn't get a clear look at her face in the dream, so it doesn't match up, and he dare not make a conclusion.

  Wu Zetian's expression also changed to one of surprise after seeing Chen Yi's appearance, and she stared at him in a somewhat rude manner. The astonishment in her eyes was noticed by everyone around her, including Sun Simiao and Chen Yi himself.

  "Cough...cough..." The eunuch on the side lightly cleared his throat, still staring at Wu Zetian's eyes. Chen Yi immediately came to his senses, realizing that he had been reminded of his mistake. He hastily lowered his head and respectfully paid his respects: "Your Majesty, I am a rustic commoner, entering the palace for the first time to meet Your Majesty, the Empress. I was taken aback and forgot my manners. Please forgive me, Your Majesty." Sweat broke out on his forehead. What's wrong with him? He had been reminded repeatedly before entering the palace to be mindful of etiquette when facing Wu Zetian, and that pretty palace maid had also reminded him. Why did he forget as soon as he saw Wu Zetian and even stood close to her?

  What if Wu Zetian gets angry? Who knows if this woman, who is recorded in history as being extremely ruthless and poisonous, will not frame herself!
