Chapter 476: It’s hard to find a good excuse for him

In the corridor, Eunuch Cao listened and looked back at the inner hall.

Your Majesty is still reviewing the papers, and you can't hide the exhaustion in your brows.

Eunuch Cao saw this and couldn't help but sigh secretly.

 Speaking of which, government affairs have not been so busy these days. The war situation in Yumen is stable and improving, and the lower state capital is also peaceful. The only one who can be called a worry is Li Du, whose whereabouts are unknown.

 Compared to the busiest and most anxious times before, I feel quite peaceful now.

 The reason why the Holy Emperor is so tired is because of the late Queen.

 The death anniversary of the late Queen is coming soon again.

Every year at this time, the Holy Father will be very concerned about it. This year...

 This year is especially true.

Your Highness was right before. This is the first death anniversary since the situation of Dingguo Temple was found out, and there are some hidden rumors.

　　This is what the Holy Spirit would do if these things were gathered together.

Therefore, Eunuch Cao was not too surprised when he heard that His Highness was "looking for trouble" at several spice shops on West Street this afternoon.

His Highness's temper just turned dark and sullen, and he was already suppressing his anger.

Every day I have dinner at Qianfu's place, thinking about the late empress. I miss my mother so much...

Of course, Eunuch Cao would not believe it if it was all due to his sincere filial piety. In his position, how could he be so naive?

 But if you say you don’t have any sincerity, Eunuch Cao won’t believe it either.

To put it bluntly, the thoughts are there and the heart is true. It is absolutely true that I want to use the late queen to please the Holy One.

 The human heart is like this.

 I think the Holy Spirit also knows this.

“It’s okay to just mutter and lose your temper,” Eunuch Cao and Eunuch Gao said on their behalf, “Don’t let Your Highness go too far.”

Eunuch Gao responded and said: "I went to the shop and visited Princess Ning'an. I said a few words and then came out."

 Eunuch Cao knew what was going on.

 He was very trusting of the princess, who knew the right measures, advance and retreat, and was very keen.

If His Highness has any signs, the princess can directly stop him.

 After talking about today’s events, Eunuch Gao retreated.

Eunuch Cao returned to the inner hall and touched the tea cup in the Holy Master's hand. When he saw that it was a little cold, he immediately changed it.

Without even raising his head, the Holy Father asked, "Who is here? What's important?"

 “The person next to His Highness.” Eunuch Cao had no intention of asking for credit for Li Shao. He only stated everything about the spice shop.

After the Lord heard this, Zhu Bi paused for a while and said: "His temperament is rarely roundabout. When he walks around the shop with such a dark face, those who are whispering and fanning the flames behind him will know what he means."

It’s good to know.

Those insidious thoughts can be contained and tightened by themselves, and they will avoid making a big fuss.

 The death anniversary of the late Queen is coming soon, and the Holy Father does not want those nonsense rumors to tarnish the reputation of his deceased wife.

 The other side.

 In Yuqing Palace, Li Shao was thinking about what happened on September 24th.

 Only he knew it. When he saw the date of the plan on the letter, a fire surged up in his heart, so much so that he almost overturned the table.

 After so many years since my mother has been gone, my father has never forgotten that night.

As for Li Shao, he lost his memory when he was young and could not remember the specific incident, but he did not dare to forget it even for a day!

That night changed his fate.

 He lost his mother!

 If his mother was still alive, would he have experienced such ups and downs?

 But, someone forgot, the initiator forgot!

Li Du asked Su Yi to meet at the mountain temple on the 24th of September. In Li Du's place, this was an ordinary day, no different from other days. How could Li Shao endure this?

Not only could he not bear it, he also wanted to kill Li Du with his own hands!

 At this time, Li Shao's mind was no longer about "making meritorious deeds", but the idea of ​​repaying blood debt with blood wrapped around him.

 Catch alive? What a crap!

He would secretly follow Li Du in the middle of the night on the 24th, and after half an hour, on the 25th, he would make Li Du pay for his life on the anniversary of his mother's death!

However, he has no one and no soldiers. The guards around him listen to Eunuch Gao, and Eunuch Gao listens to Eunuch Cao. Is he going to go to the Jianna Mountain Temple to catch Li Du alone?

Su Yi said he was joining forces with him, but God knows how many troops Su Yi had, whether they would be enough to fight Li Du!

Li Shao has been worrying about this for a few days, and the time is getting shorter and shorter...

 September 22nd.

It rained a little before dawn and stopped at the beginning of the morning, but the weather looked bad and dull.

Shen Chen hurriedly came to report to Lin Yunyan: "His Royal Highness has left the city."

Lin Yunyan raised her eyebrows.

 She was sure that Li Shao "couldn't stay idle".

Li Du prepared such a big gift for Li Shao. Lin Yunyan wanted to catch Li Du and also wanted to borrow a knife to make Li Shao suffer misfortune.

To be fair, there was no way to bring down Li Shao, but Lin Yunyan didn't want to get involved with the "madness" of the late empress, so she thought of using Li Du's method.

Li Du had thought about using Li Shao as a knife to pierce Sheng's heart, so it wouldn't be a murderous situation.

 Li Shao's life is not worried.

If Li Shao's life is involved, this will definitely not be possible. After investigation, Lin Yunyan cannot escape.

Of course, if Li Shao is alive and something happens, Lin Yunyan, the insider, will still be exposed.

Lin Yunyan wants to follow Li Shao this time and put a lock on Li Shao's life to prevent Li Du from jumping over the wall in a hurry. At the same time, he will get things done and clean himself up.

 At least there can’t be one person who “failed to report the situation after knowing it”. She will definitely have to report it.

It is precisely because of this that Su Yi's reply did not go through Lin Yunyan's hands. She hesitated and "let" Li Shao go find the spice shop by himself.

Su Chang also replied to Shen Chen yesterday, saying that Li Shao asked him to go to the mountain temple on the 24th night, but Su Chang was so frightened that he didn't want to go at all.

Lin Yunyan is sure that Li Shao will go, it just depends on how Li Shao goes.

 Now, here comes the answer.

“I took thirty imperial guards with me and headed out of the city towards the paddock,” Shen Chen said. “I still borrowed the name of the late queen.”

Li Shao said this in front of all the civil and military officials at the Jinluan Palace early in the morning.

The general idea is that after finding out the truth this year, I wanted to go to the imperial mausoleum to worship my mother, but Yumen was still fighting, and the rituals for the sacrifice were heavy and the officials were tired, so I had to give it up.

In recent days, I have been dinner in the subcontinent, recalling many pasts that get along with their mother -in -law.

 I remember that when he first learned archery, he was not strong enough to draw the bow, so his mother encouraged him very much.

At that time, he made an agreement with his mother that when he could draw a bow and shoot an arrow, he would hunt a deer with his own hands and give it to her as a gift. Unfortunately, the queen did not wait until he could hunt.

　　I forgot about the agreement a few years ago, but now I remembered it, and I didn't dare to disobey it. I wanted to go to the paddock, hunt the deer, and worship it myself on the anniversary of my death.

Lin Yunyan was speechless for a moment after listening.

What can you say?

The grandeur, respectful, respects the memory, even if some people think that this is the master who can't sit still in the gate, and wants to go to the encirclement to hunt and play, and dare not go back on top.

 “Are you using the late Queen as an excuse?”

Who dares to ask this?

Even a person as upright and determined as Ge Yushi would not ask.

Lin Yunyan knew that Li Shao didn't go there just because he wanted to hunt. His target was Li Du.

“It’s hard to find a good excuse for him,” Lin Yunyan commented, “Looking at the paddock, he won’t be able to stay there for long.”
