Wanshou Mountain is stacked with green, verdant grass and trees, several palace maids wearing light spring clothes are passing through the grassy slopes to the side of the path, the brisk steps, lively posture, full of spring rushing to the face.

Cao Xuan stood on the steps of the Yiyun Pavilion, casually looking at the scenery in the distance, thinking of what he was about to say to the Empress Dowager Cao, but his nervous mood could not be relaxed.

Min Chuan greeted him.

Since Empress Dowager Cao sent Cheng Dehai to serve the Fang family, there is no capable eunuch around her, Min Chuan stood out and won her favor, and now she is the great eunuch of Wanshou Mountain, with the title of Sipin.

He diligently personally helped Cao Xuan open the curtain and said, "The Queen Mother knows that Grandpa Guo is here, I don't know how happy she is." also specially instructed the slave maid to wash the plums for the grandfather of the country. ”

Cao Xuan smiled at him, did not answer, and followed him into the west hall quickly.

Empress Dowager Cao closed her eyes, crooked in the big kang near the window, and two eight or nine-year-old little palace maids knelt next to her and beat her shoulders.

Hearing the movement, she opened her eyes and said, "Here we are."

The look was faint.

Cao Xuan has long been accustomed to such a cold on the outside and hot on the inside

He respectfully stepped forward and saluted, sat on the kang opposite her at the signal of the Empress Dowager Cao, and greeted the Empress Dowager Cao's daily life with concern: "...... Now that the weather is getting hotter and hotter, Wanshou Mountain is full of flowers and trees, and there are many mosquitoes, so don't always abide by the rules of the palace, let the attendants order mugwort incense as soon as possible. ”

"I see. Empress Dowager Cao was not used to such a homely routine, so she impatiently coped with a few words, and then asked Li Qianlai, "The last time I read the letter he wrote, he said that everything had been settled, and Hu Yiliang had also dealt with him." He wants to go to Sichuan before the beginning of spring, are you interested in going with him?"

Eight out of ten times the Tartars invaded the capital because of bad weather and lack of food. And the spring after the winter has passed, the green and yellow spring is their most difficult day, and the two sides are mostly at that time.

Cao Xuan was slightly stunned.

He was worried about finding an excuse to talk about Li Qian, and the Empress Dowager Cao took the initiative to mention him, whether this was considered to be someone sending a pillow when he fell asleep.

Min Chuan personally brought refreshments in.

Cao Xuan looked at the large half bowl of plums in the small sweet white porcelain tall bowl, all of them were no more than the size of a wine cup, and at first glance they were plums bought from ordinary markets, obviously not tribute, and usually at this time, don't talk about plums, even the cherries are on the table, and he couldn't help but feel very sad in his heart, and he was more determined to hide the relationship between the Li family and the Jiang family from the Empress Dowager Cao.

Cao Xuan went over what he was going to say in his mind again, and then said, "Auntie, I just wanted to tell you about Li Qian!"

Empress Dowager Cao was a little surprised, but she didn't rush to ask. Instead, he waited for Min Chuan to command the palace maid to serve plums and other refreshments, and sent back the servants around him. Cao Xuan said: "Auntie, Jianan was kidnapped by Li Qian and returned to Shanxi!"

"What are you talking about?" Rao is Empress Dowager Cao, a person who can handle things, couldn't help but be shocked when she heard this, and said in a lost voice, "When did this happen? How could Li Qian kidnap the county lord of Xinan? Does the Duke of Zhenguo know about this? What did he say?"

Cao Xuan suddenly showed a look of anger, and said: "Auntie, we treat him so well, but he doesn't care about the Li family at all, and he can do whatever he wants...... and then he told the Empress Dowager Cao how Jin Xiao invited them to the grange to play, how Jiang Xian disappeared, how Jiang Zhenyuan found out that Jin Xiao was wrong, how Jin Xiao answered, Bai Su's inferences, etc.

Empress Dowager Cao could hear a cold sweat all over her body, and only said after a while: "How can you be sure that Jiang Xian did not elope with Li Qian?"

Cao Xuan looked remorseful and hateful, and said: "At that time, I also thought that the emperor had kidnapped Jianan, thinking that if this matter was really done by the emperor, let the Jiang family and the emperor tear it up, and we would stand by and watch the excitement, maybe we could still settle down, neither told you, nor thought about it."

"When Jin Xiao insisted that Jianan had eloped with Li Qian, I felt that something was wrong.

"Thanks to you for being able to afford it, let that Li Qian serve as the deputy commander of Wanshou Mountain, I can be regarded as eating and living with him these days, and I know him well.

"He is unruly and wild on weekdays, and he has always been obsessed with his face at the Shuimu Self-Kissing Wharf. In order to win him over, I didn't stop him, and occasionally echoed him when he lost his temper, so that he gritted his teeth every time he talked about it, and threatened to make the Jiang family look good.

"This time Jinxiao invited us to travel together, and it happened that one of the guards of the Li family was ordered by Li Qian to send me some Tuyi from Shanxi, and I will

"How did I know that guy was probing me! I not only promised to introduce Jin Xiao to him, but also comforted him and said that this was just an ordinary party, in order to appease the Jiang family and Zhao Xiao, Jin Xiao also invited Jiang Lu and the county lord of Jianan to ......"

Cao Xuan lowered his head a little embarrassed.

"Auntie, it's all my fault. You reminded me before, saying that the Li family is just a butcher's knife in our hands, just wrap it up, there is no need to get so close, I ...... But I wanted to impress him with brotherly righteousness, so that he would obey me, die to the ground, and cover up everything for him in front of my aunt, but I ended up stabbing my aunt with such a big basket. As he spoke, he suddenly became excited, and his eyebrows also added a sense of panic, and said, "Auntie, Jiang Lu and Wang Zan have already rushed to Shanxi, and they also brought Jiang Zhenyuan's official seal and worship post, as soon as they meet, they will find that Jin Xiao has also fallen for Li Qian, what should we do then? Everyone else knows that Li Qian is from our family, will Jiang Zhenyuan think that Li Qian was instructed by us?"

Empress Dowager Cao was also very flustered.

But her panic was not that Li Qian stabbed her in a big basket behind her back, but that she was worried that things would be as Jin Xiao said, Jiang Xian and Li Qian eloped to Shanxi.

The Li family's so-called refuge is a joke.

Not only did she believe in the wrong person, but she also had no one to use, and she became a piece of meat on the Jiang family's board.

Empress Dowager Cao leaned on the big pillow behind her tiredly, only to find that her underwear was soaked.

She closed her eyes, her mind fluttering like flipping through a book, thinking of what to do.

Cao Xuan looked at the Empress Dowager Cao with blank eyes, and worshiped all the Bodhisattvas in the sky, hoping to hide from his aunt and not find out the relationship between the Li family and the Jiang family.
