The carriage came to the palace. The guards guarding the palace gate heard that it was Cao Shu on the carriage and let it go directly.

Not long after entering the palace, the carriage stopped.

Cai'er asked Yushou, "What's wrong?"

"There is an attendant in front of him who led someone to block the road." Yushou replied.

Cai'er was about to get off the car and negotiate, Cao Shu said, "Girls don't have to get off the car, they will come over to talk later!"

Sure enough, a moment later, a sharp voice came from outside the carriage: "Do you dare to ask if it's Mr. Zirong in the carriage?"

Cao Shu lifted the curtain of the car and said, "I was about to meet Princess Hongnong, but I don't know why I stopped the car?"

In front of Cai'er and Tang Ji, Cao Shu called Tang Ji the Queen.

After entering the palace, he would of course only call Princess Hongnong in front of the attendant.

After all, this title was enthroned by Liu Xie back then.

"Your Majesty knows that the young master has come to the palace, so he specifically asks me to wait here." The attendant said, "Your Majesty also asks you to see Your Majesty first."

Cao Shuo said to Cai'er, "Your Majesty wants me to see him. You should report back to Empress Tang first and say I'll be there later."

"Let me wait for the young master!" Cai'er said, "Let the carriage go back first, and I will accompany the young master to meet His Majesty and wait outside the hall."

"Okay!" Cao Shu agreed very simply.

The two got off the carriage.

The servant Chang glanced at Cai'er and said to Cao Shu: "Young Master Zirong, this person..."

"She is the person next to Princess Hongnong." Cao Shuo said: "When I meet His Majesty, she will just wait a little longer!"

After Cao Shu said something, the attendant dared not refuse to obey, so he had to say, "Your Majesty is waiting for the young master by the lake."

"Your Majesty is fishing again?" Cao Shuo asked.

"That's right!" The attendant replied: "Since the young master went to the church to fish, he had to sit by the lake for an hour or two every day. At first, His Majesty asked him to make the fish and sent it to him. Later, when he was tired of eating, he rewarded them all. In the blessed manner of the young master, we who serve the master also had fish that His Majesty caught with him every day."

"Are you not afraid of getting annoyed?" Cao Shuo asked with a smile.

"How can it be!" said the attendant: "The fish caught by Your Majesty are all affected by the emperor's aura. It is a great blessing for us to eat!"

Changshi accompanied Cao Shu in front, and Caier followed behind.

They didn't come to the lake very long.

From a distance, Cao Shu saw Liu Xie sitting by the lake fishing.

The one who was with Liu Xie was not Empress Fu, but Concubine Dong.

Liu Xiejiu was very focused, and he didn't even notice Cao Shu when he was close.

"Your Majesty!" Cao Shuo asked, "Call me here, are there any important things to give?"

Hearing Cao Shuo speak, Liu Xie turned around and looked at him, grinning and said, "Zirong, I follow your method, and I have caught a lot of fish recently."

"Your Majesty is the emperor, how dare you not take the bait?" Cao Shuo smiled and said, "According to that method, I can't catch a few."

"Zi Rong is too humble!" Liu Xie said, "Why do I ask someone to get another fishing rod and you and I will fish together?"

"Princess Hongnong asked me to go over and say something." Cao Shuo said: "I will get another chance next time and I will specially accompany His Majesty to fish."

"I won't accompany me today, I will ask you to go fishing in the Yellow River next time!" Liu Xie said with a smile.

"Not to mention the Yellow River, even if you go to the Yangtze River, I will accompany Your Majesty!" Cao Shu replied.

"Quick the high fives to the alliance!" Liu Xie stretched out his hand.

"I dare not join the high-fives with Your Majesty!" Cao Shu said: "I remember that promise is."

"That won't work!" Liu Xie said, "What if you forget?"

Liu Xie's hand was always stretched out, and Cao Shu hit him and said, "If your Majesty has nothing to do, I will go to see Princess Hongnong first."

"Zirong still calls her the Empress Dowager!" Liu Xie said: "In a few days it will be the day of the Emperor's sacrifice. I will issue an order to declare the world that the Emperor's widow Tang Ji will be the Empress Dowager!"

"I received the order!" Cao Shuo responded.

Liu Xie's eyes turned to the water and said to Cao Shu: "Zirong, I have never regarded you as an outsider..."

"I am also loyal to Your Majesty." Cao Shuo said in a low voice: "Are your Majesty worried that Princess Hongnong would be the queen mother and would have some restraint on Your Majesty's imperial power?"

Liu Xie smiled slightly: "The imperial power declined. If it weren't for Duke Meng De, I wouldn't know where I was. How could I care about Princess Hongnong..."

"Your Majesty doesn't have to worry at all." Cao Shuo said: "The young emperor died. It is actually to justify Princess Hongnong. After all, Dong Zhuo supported Your Majesty to ascend the throne back then..."

"Old thief Dong Zhuo, trying to make me abdicate in him." When talking about Dong Zhuo, Liu Xie's face looked ugly. He sighed and said, "Fortunately, Wang Situ and General Lu protected the emperor, otherwise the Han Dynasty would have been taken away by Dong Zhuo."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty." Cao Shuo said: "From now on, no one will dare to do anything to Your Majesty."

"I feel relieved if Zi Rong is here!" With a smile, Liu Xie said, "Since the Empress Dowager invites Zi Rong to go, don't delay here!"

"I'm asking for my retreat!" Cao Shuo bowed and retreated.

When Cao Shu met Liu Xie, Cai'er was always waiting a little farther away.

Seeing Cao Shuo leave the lake, Cai'er ran over: "Young Master..."

"What do you want to ask?" Cao Shuo asked with a smile.

"How did the young master know that I have something to ask?" Cai'er asked in surprise.

"I can tell from your expression." Cao Shuo said: "Do you want to ask what Your Majesty said to me?"

"That's right!" Cai'er said, "But I felt I shouldn't ask, so I didn't ask more."

"Since you don't think you should ask, then don't ask." Cao Shuo smiled and said to Cai'er: "Please take the lead."

Although Cai'er didn't say anything, she curled her lips.

Accompanying Cao Shu into the inner courtyard of the palace, Cai'er took him to a place full of bamboo forests.

Although Xudu Palace is not as good as the palaces in Luoyang and Chang'an, it is also well-equipped.

There is a quiet courtyard deep in the bamboo forest, which is where Tang Ji lives.

"The residence of Empress Tang is elegant." Walking into the bamboo forest, Cao Shu said: "It is quiet and not easy to be disturbed. I have been to the palace many times, and I never knew there were palaces here."

"Mr. Cao originally wanted to arrange it elsewhere, but the queen happened to see it." Cai'er said: "After so many years, the queen's heart has become cold and she is not willing to contact outsiders. As long as she can get the temple name back for the late emperor, she will be unintentional to ask about anything else."

After entering the bamboo forest, Cao Shu and Cai'er came outside the main entrance of the palace.

The palace gate was opened, and seeing Cai'er leading Cao Shu, the two palace maids came to greet him.

He bowed his body and bowed, and one of the palace maids said, "Miss Cai'er, the princess has been waiting for the prince for a long time."

"Young Master, please!" Cai'er nodded to the two palace maids, and said to Cao Shuo.
