Cao Xuan's legs became weak and he almost collapsed on the ground.

He held the flower tree next to him, took a deep breath, and whispered to a little eunuch beside him: "What's going on?"

The little eunuch looked at him and said with a sound like a mosquito and flies: "The Empress Dowager asked them to stamp the imperial edict, and they said they wanted the donation from the pedestrian department..."

Of course they can't come up with donations.

So that's it?!

Is the Empress Dowager's face not as good as a donation?

Cao Xuan was silent and found that except for the two fifth-rank eunuchs, all the eunuchs kneeling around him were not of grade. One of the two fifth-rank eunuchs couldn't help but raise his sleeves to wipe his head full of sweat, while the other shook like a sieve.

The Empress Dowager gently asked the two fifth-rank eunuchs: "Do you don't have the key to keep the jade seal?"

Cao Xuan looked at the white and plump face of the Empress Dowager. Thinking of the sixth-rank eunuch who was still struggling to death at the Empress Dowager's feet, he suddenly understood what his aunt had said to him one day, "As long as the woman who survived in the harem, no one is a simple person."

He remembered the Empress Dowager who served the salary of the Empress Dowager almost fifty years old... That one was his future wife's aunt...

Cao Xuan felt that his forehead seemed to be sweating.

The eunuch who was like a sieve had crawled towards the Empress Dowager with his hands and feet and used his land, shouting: "Empress Dowager, I know where to put the key? I will find you now..."

The Empress Dowager didn't even look at him.

Liu Xiaoman stepped forward and helped him up. Seeing that his crotch was wet and scented, he couldn't stand any longer. He quickly turned his eyes to the person next to him, and someone came to hold the eunuch. Then Liu Xiaoman smiled and said softly to the eunuch who had peed his pants: "That's right! The Empress Dowager, who ordered you, was the smoke from your ancestors, and it was the grace given to you. You should help her on duty well..."

He said, and followed the two eunuchs into the main hall of Shangbaojian.

The Empress Dowager glanced at Cao Xuan.

Cao Xuan shivered, thinking that the two imperial edicts were still in his hand, he came to his senses and hurriedly ran from the Empress Dowager into the main hall of Shangbaojian.

Behind him, there was a sound of begging for mercy.

Cao Xuan held back and did not turn around.

If the Empress Dowager killed all these people, the Emperor should know soon, right?

I wonder if the emperor will send someone to chase him?

If he is caught up, how can he get out?

Cao Xuan was in a state of confusion. He saw that Liu Xiaoman took out a bunch of keys, pouting in his mouth, "Which key is the bunch of keys is" but his hands quickly tried the "Emperor's Seal" placed in the purple rafters of the glass cover, and the eunuch who was peeing his pants could no longer speak.

He was suddenly distracted.

Jiang Xian was considered a Duke and Marquis, so he would naturally have to use the emperor's seal when he gave her marriage. But Li Qian was just a small guerrilla general of the third rank, and the imperial edict for death... If the emperor treated it as a private matter, he would just use the seal he usually used on memorials. If he treated it as a public matter, the Ministry of Justice would just stamp the seal of "Emperor's Edict" on the memorial. This time, Li Qian put Jiang Xian on Jiang Xian, and he could enjoy the treatment of a Duke and Marquis. The imperial edict was printed with the "Emperor's Seal". No wonder the young men in the court wanted to give Jiang Xian, and even die could enjoy a higher level than others...

When Cao Xuan thought of this, he couldn't help but snort coldly.

If Li Qian really hijacks Jiang Xian, he will be better off if he dies!

When he looked at Liu Xiaoman again, Liu Xiaoman had already taken out the emperor's seal and said to Cao Xuan: "Hurry up and open the imperial edict and spread it on the desk."

Cao Xuan said "Oh" in a panic and quickly opened the imperial edict.

Liu Xiaoman took out a small box of cinnabar from his purse.

Cao Xuan almost burst into tears.

Even this was prepared in advance... The Empress Dowager was surrounded by talents.

Then he watched Liu Xiaoman cover the emperor's seal without even trembling.

Cao Xuan thought that there was still a blank imperial edict with the Empress Dowager. If the emperor seal was stamped with it and gave it to Jiang Zhenyuan, I wonder what would happen?

Did Zhao Yi know that he would be swallowed by magma at any time when he was sitting on the volcano?

He sprinkled fine sand that was sucking ink on the vermilion seal, and while waiting for the seal to dry, he asked Liu Xiaoman in a low voice: "What should people outside do with it? It will alarm the emperor."

Liu Xiaoman looked at him and smiled, his smile seemed a little kind: "Who told the emperor? Even the jade seal cannot be kept well..."

Cao Xuan had never treated this way, and with what he was doing now, he couldn't help but feel irritated and said, "But the emperor cannot not know..."

"If you don't say it now, what's the use of talking about it later?" Liu Xiaoman said in a warm voice as if he was teaching a junior. "What's more, I don't know how many people are staring at the eunuch of Silijian? If he can't do it well, naturally some people want to do it. Otherwise, if such a big thing happens, why don't there be a fourth-rank outside? People are hiding in the house and pretending to be confused with cleverness! In the future, Chenggong must use his brain more to do things. People's hearts are unpredictable. But it is this unpredictable human heart. Once you master it well, you will be able to do everything." He saw Cao Xuan listen to his words.

Instead of relaxing at all, he became even more nervous. He couldn't help laughing, so he whispered, "In the early years, this jade seal was controlled by the female officials in the palace. Do you think that Emperor Xiao became Shangbao Jian? It was because the eunuchs at that time felt that using seals was inconvenient, and they could not secretly use seals on the imperial edict without hiding the emperor. There was no way to show that the Silijian was the most powerful yamen in the inner court. Otherwise, why do you think they were so honest? If you do things, everyone will be defeated by the death. The emperor dared to take care of the Empress Dowager..."

Cao Xuan was completely confused.

After all, Empress Dowager Cao grew up protecting her, even if her family is broken, she is still a bit immature.

Liu Xiaoman smiled, patted Cao Xuan on the shoulder and said, "Don't be dazed. The Empress Dowager told me to go to the Imperial Horse Prison later and ask them to use the sweat-blooded and blood-blooded horse that the emperor kept in the West Garden. The Duke might as well leave the palace at this time and think about which people to take to Shanxi. I will wait for you with the horse and the imperial eunuch in the inner teaching ground on the north street of the imperial city. The eunuch in charge there is an acquaintance of my servant, and I just happened to apply some paint to the horse. If the horse ran to death, don't worry, just throw it on the side of the road. Others don't know that it was a sweat-blooded horse..."

Cao Xuan didn't know how he walked out of the palace.

By the time he calmed down, he was already on his way to Shanxi.

Zhao Xiao slept until lunch before he was woken up by his entourage.

When he thought of what happened in the past few days, he felt like he was dreaming, sitting blankly on the head of the bed for a long time, and then asked his follower: "Is there any movement in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion?"

With the Jiang family's ability, the investigation of the Liao king should have results soon.

His entourage hesitated for a moment before whispering: "Criminal, Prince Zhenguo Prince and Prince Enbo lead people out of the capital. Look at the direction, they should be heading west, and they are one person and two riders..."

In other words, they will travel day and night.

Zhao Xiao's expression changed drastically.
