The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 356
Sitting in the carriage, Cao Jiasheng looked calm, but his heart had already exploded.

It is really the news that I just learned, everything is so explosive that people can't believe it.

These news must not be spread to the outside world, otherwise, with the current situation in the court, if it spreads out, it will definitely cause an uproar, and catastrophe will be imminent.

Now the grandson of the emperor who supervises the country, his methods are not usually ruthless.

So when they left, Cao Jiasheng had discussed with Liu De that no one should enter or leave Zhuangzi in order to prevent the news from leaking out.

Everything will be arranged according to needs after consulting Concubine Duan for instructions.

Quickly returning to the mansion, Cao Jiasheng immediately found his wife, Cao Liushi.

Mrs. Cao Liu was taking the family members to visit the garden, and was called to a pavilion directly, and sent everyone else away.

"What's the important thing, master?" Cao Liu asked.

Cao Jiasheng sat down on the stone bench, motioned for his wife to sit down too, and said, "There is an important matter that concerns our family's life and death!"

Cao Liushi is not an ordinary woman, she is well aware of the crisis the family is in now.

"A concubine entering the palace again?"

Without waiting for Cao Jiasheng to answer, he only heard Cao Liu said: "Master, Your Majesty will not see me at all, and it would be useless to go!"

"I want you to enter the palace, but I don't want you to ask for advice, but to bring a message to the empress!"

"what news?"

After scanning his eyes around and confirming that there was no one around, Cao Jiasheng said, "The third child is back!"

Cao Liu's expression froze, followed by looking around, approaching her husband and asking in a low voice: "What news?"

"Yan Xun is not dead, he is still alive, and...he even raised an army!"

Next, Cao Jiasheng told his wife everything he asked.

After finishing speaking, Cao Jiasheng said in a solemn tone: "We must never let others know about these things, even our son will fail!"

"One more person who knows about it will increase the risk of leakage. We have to guard against it!"

Mrs. Cao Liu nodded, and then asked: "To the south of Zhuangzi, I'm afraid we have to be careful of leaking the news, those servants..."

Cao Jiasheng nodded and said, "I have made arrangements at this time!"

"You will enter the palace early tomorrow morning, you must find your empress and tell her about this moment!"

Mrs. Cao Liu didn't agree immediately, but got up and walked to the pavilion again, looked at the pavilion in the distance and said: "If you tell the empress, there will be another disturbance, and our family... will not have a peaceful life!"

Cao Jiasheng's face darkened, and he said slowly: "It is indeed safe and sound now, but it is difficult to say in the future... the emperor's grandson succeeds, will we have a good life?"

Unexpectedly, Cao Liu was not persuaded, but turned around and said: "We will not have a good life when the emperor's grandson succeeds to the throne, but at least we can live..."

"If we continue to make trouble now, once the matter is revealed, I'm afraid we will be accused and sent to prison, and the whole family may die!"

Cherishing one's life while doing great things is what normal people would have, let alone Cao Liushi is still a woman.

She wants to avoid risks, so she lives in a normal way.

But Cao Jiasheng knew very well that no matter whether he struggled or not, he would not end well after the emperor's grandson succeeded to the throne.

Once the old emperor passed away, even if the younger emperor didn't target them, those old people in the prince's mansion would try their best to take revenge and ruin the Cao family.

Cao Jiasheng didn't dare to resign himself to the dirty things he had done these years.

Without much explanation, Cao Jiasheng sighed and said, "You don't understand..."

"Father and mother... the fish in the pond jumped up just now, go and see!"

A sound like a silver bell broke the silence in the pavilion, making the couple look in the direction of the sound.

The person who came was a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl, dressed in light green clothes, with a warm smile on her face.

Seeing her daughter's smile, the relationship between the husband and wife eased a lot.

With a smile on her face, Mrs. Cao Liu said slowly, "You go first, and your parents will be here in a while!"

Seeing her daughter bouncing away, Cao Liushi suppressed her smile and said, "Xuan'er is still young, if our family is over, she..."

Cao Liu didn't continue to say the following words, she wanted her husband to think carefully.

"I understand all of this!"

Cao Jiasheng stood up, turned his back to Cao Liushi and walked towards the gazebo, which was enough to explain his attitude.

"Okay... I'm going to the palace!"

Seeing his wife agreeing, Cao Jiasheng immediately turned around and said, "Ma'am, you must..."

"Master, don't worry, since this concubine agrees, I will try my best to do it well!"

Having said that, Cao Liu walked up to her husband and said with a smile on her face, "Let's go, let's go and see if the jumping fish that Xuan'er mentioned is a carp in the pond!"

…………

On the third day of March, early in the morning.

Cao Liushi rode a small sedan chair, passed the inspection and entered the palace gate.

Concubines do not have the right to summon foreign ministers, only the empress has the right to summon wives, but the emperor also gave concubine Duan such power.

So as long as the married woman has an audience, the news will be delivered to Concubine Duan, and it depends on Concubine Duan whether she will see her or not.

Several times before, the Cao and Liu family stopped at the gate of the palace, and did not even enter the gate of the inner court.

At this moment, she was sitting in a small room, waiting for someone from Xianfu Palace to come.

About half an hour later, a court lady hurried over.

The maid outside the room reminded: "Madam, someone is here!"

Cao Liu put down her teacup, straightened her sleeves, and waited quietly for someone from Xianfu Palace to come.

After a while, a court lady entered the room and said straight to the point: "Your Majesty said that you are ill today, and there are no outsiders. Madam, please go back!"

After saying this, the court lady bowed and saluted before leaving, but was stopped by Cao Liu immediately: "Wait!"

The maid stopped, bowed and asked, "What's your order, madam?"

"I'm sorry to bother you to send a message to the empress, just say that Tao Yangbo wants to return to his hometown to worship his ancestors, and he specially ordered his concubine to bid farewell to the empress!"

Uncle Tao Yang, Cao Jiasheng, has never returned to his hometown since he became a prince.

Concubine Duan was unable to meet foreign ministers, and Cao Jiasheng was inseparable from everything in the capital, so he was not allowed to return home once.

Cao Liu's reasoning about returning to his hometown is to force Concubine Duan to meet him.

If Tao Yang Bo left the capital, then Concubine Duan, who was in the inner court, would really be unable to do anything.

"Ma'am... slaves are humble, I'm afraid it will be difficult to spread the word!"

Cao Liushi smiled, then grabbed a few golden beans from his bosom, and said: "I think you are a smart person, you will always find a way!"

Seeing the golden thing in her hand, the palace maid stared straight at her eyes, immediately put it into her arms, and bowed at the same time: "Madam, don't worry, I will do my best!"

Cao Liu said with a smile on his face, "Go, I'll wait for your good news!"

Watching the maid leave, Cao Liu could not help but sigh.

To do things for this sister-in-law by myself, but to bribe the people around her, just to meet him, what is this called.

Now she only hopes that things can be done and that she can see Concubine Duan.
