Empress Dowager Cao cultivated a lot of dark piles, she used to get news from the dark piles, and she could hear some rumors in every detail, but later, she reused the Lu family and gradually snubbed the old eunuch Li Wantang, who was the ninth grade combat power, and Li Wantang was the one who contacted those dark piles.

I don't know if Li Wantang was a little disheartened, or deliberately dug a pit for the Lu family, in short, now Empress Dowager Cao's speech is not as wide as before, Tang Qi found out about this situation, so he dared to escape from the waterway on a rainy night, and met Tang Zhen and Cao Sheng successively.

The queen escaped from the palace, and the next day she hid in the emperor's car and returned to the palace, these things were put in the past, how could the Empress Dowager Cao not know, but now, no one told the Empress Dowager Cao.

It's not that Li Wantang deliberately hides anything, but he doesn't care much anymore, and those dark piles are no longer hard to watch, they really missed these.

Empress Dowager Cao lazily fell on the Luohan bed, now she feels that the country is very stable, her uncle Min Yue of the Great Pillar Kingdom, her uncle Cao Sheng, the general of the Xuanjia Army, the general Cao Dingguo of Zhenjiang, the general of Jingzhou Cao Dingbang, and the general Xiao Han of Mozhou, are all her Empress Dowager Cao's people, although Chang'an is still in the hands of the Tang family, but how can that area be compared with the hinterland of the Central Plains? Now the Tang family's army doesn't have enough to eat, and they have to mourn their family to feed them.

"After the one in our family arrived at the Tiger Army, he did his best, but he found some problems." Lu mentioned Cen Shen in front of the Queen Mother.

"Oh? Let's hear it. Empress Dowager Cao said lazily.

"I heard from our family that someone from Luoyang came to Cao Dingguo a while ago, and that person was not very familiar with Cao Dingguo, and he started talking after reading a letter, and he forced Cen Shen." Lu's beautiful eyes secretly glanced at the Queen Mother's face.

The Empress Dowager is still lazily lying on the Luohan bed, with one hand supporting her head, and a palace maid rubbing her shoulder, and recently the Empress Dowager Cao always feels uncomfortable on her left shoulder.

"Is there anything unusual about this?" Empress Dowager Cao asked.

Empress Dowager Cao knew that Lu's speech would not be a simple superficial article, and there must be a later text, otherwise Lu would not have spoken.

Lu Shi smiled and said: "Although there are not many people in Luoyang in our family, it is a coincidence that I know that person." That person used to be the general of the Meng family, named Li Yongsheng. Later, the Meng family fell, and Li Yongsheng took refuge in Cao Hou. ”

"Cao Hou?" The Queen Mother was stunned, "He is now my uncle's person?" ”

"Yes."

Of course, the Lu family could not call Cao Sheng by his name, and at this time Cao Sheng was the Marquis of Huaixiang.

"I didn't ask my uncle to contact Cao Dingguo." Empress Dowager Cao became nervous, and almost in an instant, the lazy temperament on her body completely disappeared, replaced by a murderous aura, "Pass on Cao Sheng, I want to see him in the apse." ”

"The Queen Mother ......" Lu Shi wanted to speak and stopped.

"Speak!"

Lu Shi said with an embarrassed look: "If you talk to Cao Hou directly about this, he will be more vigilant against my family's fool." ”

The Queen Mother glared and said, "You also suspect that your uncle has the possibility of fornicating with Cao Dingguo?" ”

Lu Shi immediately said: "The minister doesn't dare to carry Cao Hou indiscriminately, but the queen mother must not be guarded." Now that Cen has participated in the relationship between Cao Dingguo, Cao Dingguo trusts him very much, if he wants to see through Cao Hou's true purpose, maybe he can put it for a while. Asking directly like this will startle the snake. ”

"But I always felt that my uncle wouldn't hurt me."

"The Queen Mother, you must not think like this. Even life and death, and kinship in the face of life and death are unreliable. ”

Empress Dowager Cao paused for a moment and said with a smile: "Of course I know that kinship is unreliable, but Cao Sheng is never public, I even think he has a little bit of a bag, can it be said that all this is pretended, in fact, he is secretly planning big things?" ”

"Uncle Cao Bao is the same." Lu's Road.

"Cao Bao, you say? Oh, that's a piece of. The Queen Mother scolded.

"Perhaps, he hid deeper." Lu Shi reminded the tone.

"No way. I knew him when I was a teenager, he was the dead virtue, he didn't have any masculinity, he laughed when he met people, he didn't even smile or talk when he saw people, what good can this kind of rotten good person do? ”

Seeing the queen mother's resolute attitude, the Lu family stopped talking, and at this time, Li Wantang led two eunuchs to come, and the eunuchs held two bowls of hot soup in their hands.

"Queen Mother, it's time for medicinal diet."

"Oh, and you want to drink medicinal food again?" Empress Dowager Cao was a little annoyed: "Plough Wantang, these medicinal foods you made, I've been drinking them for a few days, and they don't work, the shoulders of the mourning family are still sore, it's better for you to pinch me, no matter how hard these palace maids work, they can't pinch your techniques." ”

"The old slave is honored." Li Wantang walked over respectfully, pinched the shoulders of the Queen Mother, the master of the Nine Grades of combat power, the strength in his hands is great, and he holds it just right, the Queen Mother is very useful.

Empress Dowager Cao closed her eyes and said: "Lu Yan, I don't think your name is good, Lao Yan is flying apart, the situation between you and Cen Shen is really your name, I think you will change it." ”

"Please give the queen a name."

"Hmm..., how about calling you Banfeng?"

"Empress Dowager Xie."

Empress Dowager Cao smiled, as if she was just joking, "Your two subordinates are quite thorough, and now even the queen mother is investigating, but they can't find a clue, it is said that they began to toss the dowry maid again, and the toss is quite miserable." She's not going to show her stuff there, is she? ”

Lu Shi immediately said: "The maid doesn't know that the tea is poisonous. ”

"Lin Qiaoer is known as a master of poisoning, why can't she notice it? Also, I'm curious why she was the only one who was poisoned and the others weren't. Empress Dowager Cao said.

"This minister doesn't know very well, it was the brothers Han Furong and Han Fuxiu who did it, the rules of the killer world, the means are never exposed, just like a master who plays tricks will not easily teach his apprentice the skills of housekeeping. I'm afraid that if it leaks out, it won't work. Lu Shi said.

"The Han brothers really made an extraordinary move, but why did they fail to assassinate Tang Yuan?" Empress Dowager Cao said.

"It's not that they failed, they didn't do it."

"Why don't you do it?"

"Because ......" Lu Shi was a little embarrassed, but finally said: "After poisoning Lin Qiao'er, I planned to kill Tang Yuan when he was the saddest, but at that time, Tang Yuan had Chen Bao and Tang Hu and other generals by his side, and the two of them didn't dare to attack on the road. Later, when they returned to Luoyang, the two were ambushed on the side of the road, intending to kill Tang Yuan, but found that Tang Yuan was throwing money on the road to the poor, and later inquired and found out that Tang Yuan often did this, and whether it was in Luoyang or Xiangcheng, Tang Yuan would take a small soldier everywhere to scatter money, although it was not much, but it was ......"

"How?" Empress Dowager Cao was stunned.

"The Nine Rank Assassin Han Furong said that he never kills good people."

"Hmph, woman's kindness." Empress Dowager Cao snorted: "Then Tang Yuan's southern expedition to the north and the east to the west to fight, with a single order, is tens of thousands of lives, it can really be described as murderous, and he has become a good person?" ”
