King of Song

Chapter 322 Three Souls Out of Body
If someone else broke in, Cao might be furious, but "daughter" Zhao Fukang is another matter.

We are a family, and I don't worry that she will reveal the secret. She has the right to know about this matter.If so, it still needs to be told, because the matter is of great importance.

"Mother, this jade pendant of rising sun and auspicious clouds is...his master..." As the eldest daughter of Song Renzong, Zhao Fukang was already a teenager 20 years ago, so it is not surprising to have seen the jade pendant of rising sun and auspicious clouds.

Mrs. Cao nodded slightly: "That's right, your uncle may have a clue... But he is bedridden now, and I plan to visit tomorrow!"

"Oh!" Zhao Fukang has now recovered, and his mind is quite shrewd. He has figured out many things in a flash, and she has a rough guess about the owner of the jade pendant.

Is it really such a coincidence?Providence so?Originally, he wanted to intercede immediately, but after a little thought, Zhao Fukang decided to verify it first!One is not to be reckless, and the other is... If it is verified, she and the Empress Dowager will rescue Lin Zhao at all costs.

"Ma'am, let me go with you!"

"This... ok!"

After all, it is a matter of filial piety, and Zhao Fukang has been bored in the palace for too long.Cao Shi looked at Zhao Fukang's expectant eyes, and finally did not refuse.They are brothers and sisters who are close relatives, and it is absolutely impossible for Fukang to do anything to hurt his younger brother...

As everyone knows, Zhao Fukang already had an idea in his mind, and suggested: "Madam, Minyan is now in the palace. Since my uncle is sick, why not take Minyan with me, she is good at medicine and can treat my uncle!"

"Alright!" Mrs. Cao agreed after thinking about it, since it's just for show, she has to act like that.Although my younger brother is not critically ill, it is a fact that he has been ill for a long time. It is no harm to let Chai Minyan go for a diagnosis and treatment!

"Thank you, ma'am!" Zhao Fukang contributed to many things, and he was very happy.At this moment, she seemed to have found another value of existence.

"It's important, keep your mouth shut, you should understand, right?" Mrs. Cao didn't forget to remind her.

Zhao Fukang nodded and said: "Daughter save me!" Then he went back to find Chai Minyan, and Cao Jian also left the palace at this time.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Don't worry, let's stay in the palace for one night today, and follow my mother and I out of the palace to go to Uncle Cao's house tomorrow!" Inadvertently, Zhao Fukang's eyes changed slightly when he looked at Chai Minyan, adding a special kind of love .

"This..." Chai Min said that Lin Zhao was so anxious about this meeting, how could he wait calmly?
Zhao Fukang clapped his hands lightly, and said, "Don't worry, Uncle Cao Guo is seriously ill, and the empress is going to visit you. You are a sage hand of orpiment, if you cure Uncle Cao Guo's illness and ask for mercy, wouldn't it be more effective with half the effort?"

"So that's it!" Chai Minyan nodded lightly, then thought that Meng Ruoying and Mu Sihong must be waiting for news from him, and said, "Then let me send them a message so that they can feel at ease?"

"No!" Zhao Fukang knew very well that the matter is very important at this moment, and absolutely no mistakes should be taken, and said: "The matter is of great importance, and if the news is leaked, there may be unnecessary troubles!"

Having said this, it was already very clear, and Chai Minyan knew it well.I had to stay in the palace with great worries, but I kept tossing and turning all night, unable to sleep...

After finally staying up until dawn, I got up early!
Zhao Fukang saw it in his eyes, shook his head slightly, and then a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Uncle Cao Guo is critically ill, and the Empress Dowager wants to go back to visit him!
Although the empress dowager is of high status, visiting a courtier is a bit condescending, and the female family members in the palace seldom go out.

But brother and sister love each other deeply, even the emperor sometimes goes out of the palace to visit ministers who are dying, and the empress dowager is approaching her sixtieth year, so it is natural to visit a younger brother who is dying.Therefore, no one in the whole court said "no", but expressed their approval and condolences to the old uncle.

Upon learning of this, neither Gao Taotao nor Zhao Xu objected and actively cooperated.Zhao Xu didn't care about it, but Gao Taotao was happy to see it succeed.

The death of Uncle Cao Guo also means the decline of the Cao family. Without the support of her mother's family, the empress dowager's status will be even worse than before.In the future, the palace will be completely up to him, and to a certain extent, it also means that the Renzong era will gradually become history.Gao Taotao couldn't ask for it, so it was naturally not embarrassing, not to mention that Uncle Cao Guo was also her own uncle, but she didn't have the heart to visit.

It was frustrating to find a reason for being unwell, but he ordered someone to prepare a guard of honor with chariots and horses, and the guards were all available, so Cao Shi was allowed to set off.

Mrs. Cao may not have visited her relatives for many years, but the mood of returning home this time is not much better.On the surface, the pretense is to visit his critically ill younger brother, but in fact, he has other important things on his mind, so it is hard to feel at ease!
When Fengjia arrived at Cao's mansion, he was greeted grandly, and his sons, nephews and grandchildren were all very respectful.Although there are other purposes, it must be based on etiquette to prevent others from having the slightest suspicion.

Afterwards, Empress Dowager Cao went to visit Uncle Cao Guo in person. In particular, Zhao Fukang was the only one in the room to accompany her, while Cao Jian sent someone to guard outside the yard.

"what happened to you?"

"Sister Labor came here in person, it's my brother's fault!" In the ward, although Uncle Cao Guo was ill, his condition was far better than expected, and he was never critically ill.

Cao waved her hand and said, "It doesn't matter, but what's urgent?" She knew very well that even if she found the owner of the jade pendant, she wouldn't be so anxious, most likely something urgent happened!

Cao Yu said: "Yes, the owner of the jade pendant found it, and has been confirmed by Mrs. Lin and the iron-faced suzerain. But at this moment, she is in great danger and needs my sister to come forward to rescue her!"

"Where is the child? Where is he now? What danger is there?" Cao asked in a deep voice.

Before Cao Yu answered, Zhao Fukang asked first, "But Lin Zhao, Lin Dongyang who is about to be executed?"

"Princess knows?" Cao Yi was shocked. This sentence was an admission that what Zhao Fukang said was true, and the Empress Dowager Cao was also full of disbelief.

"I only found out yesterday!"

Zhao Fukang knew it well, and said: "He was the one who saved me at Jinmingchi on the Qixi Festival, so I met once. At that time, I felt very familiar, as if I had seen it somewhere, and there was an inexplicable sense of intimacy. Maybe it is Because I have been ill for so long and I was still young back then, I couldn’t remember it. I didn’t realize that he looked like Concubine Lin until I saw the Rising Sun and Auspicious Clouds jade pendant yesterday. If the jade pendant belonged to him, he would be My dear brother!"

Lin Zhao looks like his mother, and they are very similar.But Jinghe layman was the concubine of Emperor Renzong 20 years ago, living in the deep palace, and the foreign ministers could not see it.So neither Ouyang Xiu, Zhao Yan, nor Wang Anshi and Sima Guang had any doubts about Lin Zhao's face.

Only a few people who met Concubine Lin knew about it, and most of them were female relatives of the inner palace.For example, Gao Taotao has seen it before, so when she sees Lin Zhao from a distance for the first time, she will be a little surprised and have a feeling of deja vu.But she didn't delve into it, and then put the matter behind her.

Zhao Fukang was already in his teens back then, so he had also met Concubine Lin, so when he saw Lin Zhao for the first time, he felt familiar.And Chai Minyan often mentioned it, so that this sense of familiarity always existed, and made her think about it from time to time, and finally found the answer.

Zhao Fukang had this idea when he saw Yupei yesterday.But she couldn't be sure, so she came here to find out. After hearing Uncle Cao Guo say that the owner of the jade pendant was in danger, she was completely sure.

Mrs. Cao had also heard about Lin Zhao, and pondered, "It's him?"

"Yes!" Cao Yu nodded and said, "That's what Tie Mian said when he came to see me. Besides, the princess has already seen me, so there must be nothing wrong..."

"Your Majesty, there is no mistake. Lin Zhao's appearance is five or six points similar to that of Concubine Lin, and I will not admit my mistake!" Zhao Fukang was very sure, and she finally understood that Lin Zhao had an inexplicable sense of intimacy. , After all, they are siblings connected by blood!

If jade pendants can be faked, there is absolutely nothing wrong with their similar appearance.Cao Shi never expected that the child who had not heard from him for many years was in the vicinity and was still an official in the court.It can be said that Emperor Renzong has his own son alive and has found him. This can be said to be a great joy, but...

"What's the danger and execution you mentioned?" Cao Shi didn't have time to think about anything else, this alone was enough to scare her.This is the only heir of Emperor Renzong and her only "son", so there must be no mistakes.

Only then did Cao Yi explain the ins and outs of the matter, Cao Shi was secretly shocked when he heard that, he did not expect his son to encounter such danger.

"Are those things related to the child?" The Cao family is most concerned about this issue now. If Renzong's son colluded with the enemy and treasoned the country, how embarrassing should they be?
"It has nothing to do with the young master, he was framed!" Cao Yu said, "Li Fugui from Qingzhou, and Wang Anshi are all involved!"

"What about Zhongzhen? Why did he want to kill Zhao'er? But did he know his identity?" Cao was very wise, and thought of many things in an instant, and immediately asked.

"He still doesn't know that the reason why the son should be sentenced to death may be to save Wang Anshi's face!" Cao Yu couldn't fully guess Zhao Xu's thoughts, but he just thought so.

"What?" Cao was furious: "For the sake of Wang Anshi's face, you want to disregard human life?"

"Uncle, is there a rescue method?" What Zhao Fukang is most worried about now is how to save people.

Cao Yu said: "The matter was urgent before, and Tie Mian was helpless, so I asked my sister to come forward to protect it. But last night, I received a good news, and there was conclusive evidence, and I will go to Bianjing today. I only need my sister to exert some pressure, and the case can be overturned." !"

"It's so good!" Mrs. Cao has decided in her heart that she will protect Renzong's son at all costs.

But at this moment, Cao Jian said outside the window: "Grandfather, that mysterious guest sent urgent news yesterday!"

"Bring it in!"

Cao Yi took it, took it apart, and when he took a look, his three souls came out of his body...
