Time flies, and Lantern Festival comes.

As the court officials walked around, they gradually became a solid piece. Before Cao Hua had arrived in the capital, even though he had reached a conclusion, this conclusion had nothing to do with killing the child, and killing the child was just a reason.

Everyone sat behind the curtain, looked at the prison ship carrying a ferocious beast with a pair of calm eyes, entered the carefully arranged cage, closed the cage, put down the guillotine, and Tokyo returned to peace again. In this capital of the Central Plains dynasty, the dead will soon disappear and no one will remember it.

People who have close contact with court officials are more or less aware of it. For example, the courtiers in the brothels can always hear secret messages from the drunk officials, mostly pretending that they didn't hear them, or they were happy to listen to them and did not make any comments.

But there are always some people who are in it.

In the small building behind Minglou, Li Shishi sat in front of the dressing table, carefully embellished with a beautiful face, her eyes were always calm as usual, but there was a bit of sorrow between her eyebrows.

Every day, she presents songs at Minglou and receives princes and nobles from all walks of life. While talking, she is also inquiring about the situation in the court.

It is obvious that Cao Hua is not optimistic about the current situation. Although she has not entered the court, she can clearly smell the danger. She vaguely feels that the hunter has put on a clip in front and is waiting for someone to step on, but she cannot remind her.

Fortunately, as a brothel, she has her own connections and advantages. Even if she can't remind her, she will do her best to do her best than being trapped in the shop opposite and can only stand at the window and wait foolishly.

Putting on a soft dance dress and a flower hairpin, Li Shishi sat quietly in front of the piano stage and waited.

Dongdong--

A knock on the door sounded.

Li Shishi showed a kind of friendly smile, slowly walked to the door of the building, and opened the door.

"Mr. Cai."

"Miss Shishi."

Cai You, wearing a scholar's robe, held a folding fan in the breeze of the first month, slowly entered the small building and sat down next to the couch, with a calm posture:

"Miss Shishi personally invites someone to come to the door, which is rare."

As the legitimate son of the Grand Tutor of the current dynasty, Cai You was obviously a polite word. Even if you invite me, you may not come. The reason why I came here in person today was because I was a little curious about Li Shishi's purpose.

Li Shishi's smile was as gentle as water, and she slowly sat down opposite the couch, skillfully cooking and pouring tea.

After a cup of tea was pushed to Cai You, he spoke softly:

"Recently, there have been rumors about Cao Taisui in the capital. I know Cao Taisui and I are a little curious, so I want to ask Mr. Cai."

"hehe..."

Cai You leaned against the couch, and his fingers rotated the lid of the teacup, and his voice was calm:

"What else can I tell you about killing the Grand Tutor in the Palace? Cao Hua has always been tyrannical, killing Gao Yanei and Lin Fengyang in the street, and even I was whipped. It was not unexpected to kill General Tong this time."

Li Shishi thought for a moment and said softly:

"Mr. Cao is indeed unruly, but... but he killed General Tong in anger, maybe there is a reason for it..."

Cai You stopped and raised his finger: "Miss Shishi asked for love, and it should be time to find the emperor, not me."

Li Shishi slowly poured the tea and shook her head - she did want to find Emperor Zhao Jie, but the emperor came over that day and read the "Seven-Step Poem" in front of her, and then left in a depressed mood. She naturally knew the origin of the "Seven-Step Poem" and had been dealing with people's hearts for many years. As soon as King Kang came, everything was clear.

But she, a brothel woman, can only be secretive about this kind of thing. She knew how dangerous Cao Hua was now. The one who carried the knife was the emperor in the palace. What's the use of her asking for it?

"How can I find it if the Lord doesn't come?"

Li Shishi smiled helplessly and gave a little blessed gift.

Cai You folded her fan and hit the table, thought for a while, and curled her lips:

"The rumors that Shishi is in Hangzhou are a little involved with Cao Hua. Now it seems that it is true."

Li Shishi did not deny it, but just boiled tea and said slowly:

"Young Master Cai is the legitimate son of the Grand Tutor. If you can speak in the court, you can only find you in the capital... Cao Hua is not an act of intent. If you kill Tong Guan, there must be a reason..."

Cai You shook his head and smiled: "This has nothing to do with me. Why should I go against the general trend of the court and say good things to Cao Hua?"

Li Shishi was silent for a little while and thought for a while: "Cao Hua is definitely not an ordinary person. This time... he may have no choice but to stay with him as a person. If Mr. Cai provides a little help, Cao Hua will naturally repay his kindness in the future."

“Hahaha….”

Cai You seemed to hear a big joke, sat up straight, picked up the teacup and took a sip:

"Miss Shishi is really funny. Even if no one does anything to him, killing the throne and suppressing the rebellion of the commander of the dynasty, he will not be able to escape the demerit of the title and demotion of the official position. It is the priest who can save his life. Do you really think he is the 'night emperor' of the Song Dynasty, and he sets the rules?"

Li Shishi took a light breath, stared at Cai You, and was silent for a long time before speaking softly:

"Young Master Cai has this ability... If the emperor wants to kill Cao Hua, he must block the mouths of the ministers... No one dares to make a conclusion on whether General Tong intends to murder King Kang. As long as he bite this point, the emperor cannot kill Cao Hua in a daze, so as not to cause criticism..."

Cai You raised his hand and said, "Miss Shishi is really smart, I naturally know this. What I asked is, why should I promise you to help Cao Hua?"

Li Shishi nodded slightly, but just boiled tea, and after a long time, he said softly:

"I think Cao Hua is a good person."

"Hahaha...."

Cai You clapped his palms with a folded fan and was quite satisfied with the answer: "Since ancient times, infatuated women have always been so amazing. Even Cao Hua can become a good person in the mouth of Shishi girl, haha... Those who can stand on the top of the court, those who have good people and bad people are nothing more than different positions. Real good people die in the Diankuis dungeon, stupid, honest, and unyielding. The only disadvantage is that they are useless. Good people cannot control the army, so it is the same as caring and not controlling the army."

Li Shishi chuckled softly and replaced Cai You with a new cup of tea:

"Mr. Cai, how can I agree to me?"

Cai You fell silent, and the folding fan tapped the table, making a "da-" sound.

"What else does Shishi girl have besides her skin?"

"yes...."

Li Shishi smiled slightly: "Young Master is willing to speak up for Cao Hua?"

Cai You folded his fan and tapped Xiao Chou, took a breath, and let out another breath.

He obviously dared not speak out for Cao Hua for justice, unless he didn't want to live anymore.

But the number one beauty in Tokyo was in front of me, and even the emperor "had only dared to see from afar, not to play with it". This temptation is not small.

Fortunately, Li Shishi is just a brothel woman.
