After the morning meeting, Li Shao took the initiative to go to the imperial study room.
"Father," he bowed respectfully and said sincerely, "this year is the anniversary of the death of my mother, and I would like to go to the imperial mausoleum to pay my respects."
When the Holy Father heard this, he was quite surprised: "Why did you think of this? There is still some time before your mother's death anniversary."
"Although it's not a serious crime, this spring we finally figured out the whole story of her death and who killed her. Even though we haven't caught Li Du and the monkey-faced eunuch yet, I want to talk to her in detail in person.
"Said," Li Shao paused at this point, "I have watched the government in the Ministry of Rites, and I know that going to the imperial mausoleum is not just a lip service. There are regulations and rituals, so I have to tell it in advance so that the Ministry of Rites will not be in a hurry.
.”
"Shao'er, I'm very pleased that you can say that." The Holy Master smiled, and his expression relaxed a little. He changed the subject, but refused, "The Yumen are fighting, and the center of the court is in public. At this time, I will mention the worship.
The timing is not right for the imperial mausoleum."
Li Shao lowered his eyes with regret on his face.
Of course, he had guessed before he spoke that his father would not agree to let him go to the imperial mausoleum.
This has nothing to do with whether you believe it or not. The reason is that as my father said, the time is not right.
If you insist on speaking even though you know you won't agree, you must have other intentions.
"My dear sir," Li Shao asked tentatively, "my dear sir, can you go to Qian Mansion and sit for a while in the next few days?
Just ask Eunuch Gao to follow you. I will go there after you leave the office, walk around the palace, and come back before the palace gate closes.
It had been so many years, and many things from childhood were blurred. I thought that if I stayed where I lived at that time, I might be able to recall some old things like the last time.
In my memory, my mother has always been gentle and kind, unlike those fabricated rumors..."
Speaking of this, Li Shao heard his father let out a long sigh.
He thought, having already rejected one, his father wouldn't reject him twice in a row, right?
The Holy Spirit's heart is heavy.
He suddenly remembered that Princess Derong said that Li Shao was "very disappointed".
Too.
This is not allowed, and that is not allowed. It will indeed disappoint Shaoer. After all, going to Qianfu to stay for a while is a very small thing.
There is usually no one else in the Qian Mansion except the steward. With Eunuch Gao following him, there will be no trouble.
"You can go if you want," the Holy Master nodded, "Say a few words for me to accompany your mother. It's far less convenient for me to go out to the palace than it is for you."
Li Shao's eyes lit up.
He knew that his father would not reject him one after another.
Compared to going to the imperial mausoleum, Qianfu is nothing.
"Yes," Li Shao responded quickly, "I will do it."
For several days in a row, after the Ministry of War had finished observing the government, Li Shao went to Qian Mansion to sit down.
The steward didn't know why His Highness was interested, so he served him cautiously at first. Then he saw that Li Shao didn't like people following him, so after asking Eunuch Gao for instructions, he happily hid in the concierge.
A few months have passed, and the roof that was struck by lightning has been repaired, and the fallen trees have been removed, and the mess is no longer the same as before.
Li Shao and Eunuch Gao recalled a lot of things about his childhood. At the end, he would add a few sentences.
"I vaguely remember this."
"This paragraph seems to have been told to me by my father a year ago."
"I'll ask my father some other time."
However, Eunuch Gao didn't know much about whether Li Shao asked the Holy Father about old matters, but he himself was asked by Li Shao to do a lot of things.
Today is the flower that the late Queen likes, so I have to break two of them and put them in the vase.
Tomorrow, we will prepare snacks that the Queen likes and put them in the house.
There are a lot of requirements, but Eunuch Gao doesn't find it annoying.
Rather than worrying about something unpreventable happening to His Highness, it would be so much easier to sneak into the mansion and look at the flowers and eat.
It's ten days in a blink of an eye.
In the Duke Fu's mansion, Lin Yunyan walked around the courtyard to eat after eating.
Wan Yue whispered to her: "I am also in Qianfu today. I thought that he would be bored in three to five days at most."
Lin Yunyan smiled.
Qianfu was certainly not interesting to Li Shao, but it was definitely better than returning to Yuqing Palace after going to Yamen.
"There are many people in the palace, but the palace is still clean." Lin Yunyan said.
Wan Yue nodded thoughtfully: "That's true. I heard from Shen Chen that His Highness has not allowed Eunuch Gao to follow him in the past few days, and Eunuch Gao has not objected. When His Highness was in the inner courtyard, Eunuch Gao was in front.
Sitting and waiting in the flower hall.
Princess, aren’t you worried that Eunuch Gao will escape over the wall?”
"His Highness can't carry it clearly, and it's not like he is really stupid and hopeless," Lin Yunyan said, "Do you think that Shen Chen will quietly pay attention to the situation in Qian Mansion? There are many people watching Qian Mansion, and His Highness has his front feet turned out.
, a string of tails followed him, waiting to file a complaint."
As for Li Shao, who was provoked by Princess Derong's words earlier and now wants to express himself in front of the Holy Emperor, how could he make such a mistake?
Unless someone provokes him and the bait given is tempting enough.
Lin Yunyan thought for a while, stopped, and told Wan Yue: "Speak to Shen Chen and put some pressure on Su Chang."
Eunuch Tong was captured that day, and it was Aunt He who came forward.
Su Chang had already informed Lin Yunyan and Xu Jian of the situation, so the news was not leaked.
So, as long as Li Du and Su Yi believed that the Su-Chang line was safe, logically speaking, they would definitely contact him when needed.
Wan Yue naturally responds.
The night is getting darker.
Today's summer is very long. It's still very hot in early August, but after the Mid-Autumn Festival, it suddenly cools down. It's even a little chilly at night these days.
In the spice shop on West Street, Su Chang sat behind the counter and checked the accounts.
The waiter who came here was busy making calculations. He turned around and saw that his boss hadn't even turned a page. He couldn't help but worry: "Boss, if you have something to do, you won't do the calculation today?"
"Oh?" Su Chang came back to his senses, "Pan, why don't you pan?"
Having said that, my mind was still not focused, and another quarter of an hour was wasted, so I had to give up.
The waiter went to the door and asked, "Master, do you want a lantern at the door?"
"Let's order, let's order!" After Su Chang said, he suddenly regretted, "Goodbye, I won't order after closing time, forget it."
The waiter touched the tip of his nose. Although he complained that his boss was acting strangely today, he still did as he was told.
Suchang glanced at the two strings of dark red lanterns again, wiped his face, and turned around to go to the yard behind.
Out of sight is pure.
Wait for him to think about it again, and then think about it carefully.
At the second watch, Su Chang, who was resting at the stone table, shivered.
I accidentally dozed off and it was quite cold.
After thinking about it again, he felt that something was wrong with the cold. He turned his head suddenly and saw a person standing not far away. He was so frightened that he yelled "Ouch".
"you you……"
Su Chang stammered, not knowing how to address the other person and not being able to see clearly what the other person looked like.
The other party was wrapped in night clothes and his face was covered with a scarf, leaving only his eyes exposed.
The person who came was none other than Shen Chen.
He gestured to Su Chang: "If you don't knock Su Dongjia unconscious, you won't recognize me?"
Su Chang said: "Don't you need to tie me up somewhere today?"
"Then we have to see what news my boss gives me," Shen Chen said. "My boss, my master told you a while back. The road is going dark, and the most taboo is to sway left and right. Don't be confused."
Suchang raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.
He had just received Su Yi's secret letter yesterday. He was so panicked and had not made up his mind that he did not light a red lantern.
However, why was he still hesitating? The other party came to visit him and told him not to be a mere wallflower.
news-clever?
Is the context clear?
Suchang was unsure.
His heart suddenly crossed, and he risked his life: "I was just thinking about this matter. My brother came by chance. Wait a minute, wait a minute, I'll go get the letter."
