Chapter 046: What About the Night? The night is not young

Time passed day by day, and everything in Chang'an City seemed to return to its original track.

In the East Palace, the news of 'the Queen Mother's illness is getting worse and worse' only comes out every day, which makes everyone sigh.

Like the first emperor Liu Heng, the Empress Dowager Bo is also the 'virtuous queen' in the hearts of the world's people;

There is hardly anyone who does not feel sad about the fact that Bo is dying.

As for Liu Sheng, as usual, he went to the Former Anhou Mansion every day to chat with Shen Tujia, or ask for teaching;

Occasionally, when Shen Tujia couldn't spare time, Liu Sheng would also come to Changle Palace to visit his grandmother, who was seriously ill and bedridden.

Even every time, he could only get a reply from the mouth of the old eunuch who was nearly sixty years old, 'The heart of the son, the queen mother knew', and Liu Sheng was still the same;

Not for anything else, just for a peace of mind.

Even if he didn't have much affection with the Empress Dowager Bo, for the seriously ill elders, Liu Sheng instinctively thought: he should visit;

Even if this elder is undoubtedly a stranger to himself, this is still the responsibility of the junior.

As for Chao Cuo, it seems to have stopped a lot during this time.

Especially after the Empress Dowager's illness became more and more serious, and even to the extent that Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven, had to visit every once in a while, Chao was wrong in the court, and strangely did not mention "Cutting the Domain" again.

For this change, there is no doubt about him inside and outside the government and the opposition;

It was only the attention of Liu Qi, the son of heaven, who was attracted by the Empress Dowager's illness, and had no time to take care of it, which made Chao Cuo stop for a while.

But in such a strange calm, Chao Cuo's figure appeared in the inner history of the government one night in summer and June;

Along with Chao Cuo, there were several masked men, as well as a groveling youth.

If Liu Sheng were here, he would definitely recognize it at a glance: this young man who flattered Chao Wrong and hated to lick a hook on the spot was the little porter in the teacher Shen Tujia's house······

"Chao Gong;"

"It's chiseled."

With a low report, Chao Cuo quietly turned his head and looked at the hole in the wall from a distance.

Here, it is the internal history of Chao Cuo, located outside the east wall of Weiyang Palace;

But the palace gate in and out of Weiyang Palace is the Sima Gate on the north wall.

Therefore, although the Inner History Mansion where Chao Cuo is located, although it is only separated by a wall from Weiyang Palace, it is necessary to take a long detour to enter and exit Weiyang Palace.

It's like a family living by the river, obviously the other side of the river is the workplace, but in order to get to work, you need to take a long detour to get to the bridge;

After crossing the bridge, you have to walk a long way to get to work.

Then Chao Cuo, can you directly smash a hole in the east wall of Weiyang Palace in the west of the Inner History Mansion?

Apparently not.

But the fact that you can't smash the palace wall of Weiyang Palace doesn't mean that the wall of the 'neighbor' next door can't be chiseled apart.

Unlike the internal history of the Ya, the back door of this 'neighbor' leads to the Weiyang Palace.

As long as you chisel open the low wall between the 'neighbor' and this 'neighbor', Chao Cuo can use the back door of the 'neighbor's house to directly enter the Weiyang Palace.

But for some reason: it was just a matter of digging a wall, but Chao chose to do it in the middle of the night.

In the process of the masked men wielding stone hammers and chiseling open the hole in the wall, Chao Cuo never dared to approach the scene even half a step;

Even after the door hole had been chiseled, Chao Cuo only dared to look at it from a distance, but he didn't dare to come forward to check it at all.

Roughly seeing the outline of the door opening that had been chiseled, he looked around with a gloomy expression to make sure that no one else was present, and then slowly lowered his head.

From his bosom, he took out a bag of gold cakes that had been prepared a long time ago, and Chao Cuo only threw it on the previous one without hesitation, and opened his mouth to report it to the person.

"Take the money, and you're good to go."

"After dawn tomorrow, if you haven't run out of Chang'an's radius of a hundred miles, then, don't blame this official for impartially enforcing the law and arresting you······

Listening to Chao Cuo's undisguised threat, the masked man smiled nonchalantly, swept the few gold cakes wrapped in cloth, beckoned his companions to scatter, and disappeared into the darkness in the blink of an eye.

And after the group of masked men left, Chao Cuo finally turned around, looked at the young man with a serious expression, and patted the young man on the shoulder again.

"Your mother's illness, I have asked someone to go to Kanto and find a famous doctor;"

"Just wait for Chun Yuyi to be invited to Chang'an, and your mother's illness will definitely be cured······"

"What do you mean?!"

"The father of the filial daughter Tiying?"

Seeing the young man ask in surprise, Chao Cuo only nodded heavily.

"I've solved your worries."

"In return, I need you to do something for me."

Hearing this, the young man hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded heavily.

As early as a few days ago, when Chao Cuo found himself privately and said that he could help him find a doctor to cure his mother's illness, the young man had already guessed: Chao Cuo, I am afraid that he has a request for himself.

Moreover, it is likely that he needs to do something that is not conducive to his employer, Shen Tujia.

Therefore, in the past few days, young people have always been in a tangle, and they have not agreed to Chao's wrong 'invitation'.

And today, when Chao Cuo showed that he had invited a famous doctor to treat his mother, even if the young man still had doubts, he could only grit his teeth and agree.

——Watching his mother being tormented by illness, the young man is really like a knife······

"Don't worry;"

"I don't mean to make you bad for your master's family."

Seeing that the young man nodded, there was still a slow sense of guilt on his face, and Chao Cuo only comforted him softly;

Then he turned around and pointed to the chiseled doorway in the distance.

"You just need to go home now and tell Shen Tujia the truth about this matter, even if you repay my kindness."

"I will never break my promise to you."

Hearing this, the look of doubt on the young man's face faded slightly, so he raised his head a little blankly and looked at the hole in the wall in the distance.

"I, how should I tell the prime minister?"

saw Chao Cuo smiled strangely, and reached out to pat the young man's shoulder.

"After you go back, tell the prime minister: The south wall of the inner history belongs to the ya, and a door hole has been chiseled."

"Remember, it's the internal history that belongs to the south wall of the ya."

"Just, that's all?"

"That's right, that's all."

A little surprised to express doubts, seeing that Chao was wrong again, the young man calmed down.

With a guilty face, he bowed his hand goodbye, and the young man trotted in the direction of Shang Guanli.

And after the young man left, a smile of conspiracy finally appeared on Chao Cuo's extremely indifferent face.

"Shentu Jia ······"

"What a good courtier······"

"It's a pity."

"It's a pity~"

With a long sigh and a faint eerie laugh, Chao Cuo's figure, like the masked men from before, disappeared into the darkness.

But there is no doubt that Chang'an this night is destined to be peaceful······
