Zhongze was not afraid of the incident at all. He had confidence and played with the people like Northern Tang in his palm.

Cao Tianyue did not find out Zhongze's conspiracy, and when he returned, he said to Hu Tong depressedly, "The prince of Nanzhao is really a passionate person. He is about to die, and he is still thinking about the Sixth Princess."

Seeing that Empress Cao returned disappointed, Hu Tong guessed that he must have not found any useful information.

"Didn't you find valuable information?" Hu Tong asked.

Cao Tianyue shook his head, "No, I have been there for so long, and I heard all the love between children and children. I didn't hear any conspiracy and tricks to do when I came to Northern Tang this time."

Hu Tong heard Cao Tianyue's words and said, "Since he knows that what he is going to do is conspiracy and shameful things, how can you know?"

Cao Tianyue glanced at Hu Tong and said, "I'm not listening blatantly, I just listened secretly to their corners."

"Maybe they have already taken precautions," Hu Tong said.

When Cao Tianyue heard this, he lamented and said, "No matter what kind of conspiracy Zhongze is playing, he is on the way to the underworld now."

When Hu Tong heard Cao Tianyue say that Zhongze was about to die, he asked in surprise, "He can't die. He is going to die, which will definitely cause a war between the two countries."

When Cao Tianyue heard Hu Tong's words, he said disapprovingly, "If you fight, you will fight. Nanzhao is a country that is often defeated, and the Cao family army in the Northern Tang Dynasty will be afraid of him."

Hearing Cao Tianyue's words, Hu Tong frowned and looked around. Seeing that no one came to Cao Tianyue's ear and said, "You don't know the current situation. The treasury is empty and there is no money for war. Now it's a famine. I'm afraid that once a war starts, the Northern Tang will be defeated first."

When Cao Tianyue heard this, he glanced at Hu Tong and said, "Where did you hear the rumors? The Northern Tang Dynasty has strong soldiers and horses, and the land is vast and the resources are abundant. How could the national treasury be empty?"

Seeing that Cao Tianyue didn't believe it, Hu Tong said, "Anyway, I'm telling the truth. If you don't believe it, I can't do anything."

Of course, Cao Tianyue didn't believe Hu Tong's words, "Of course you don't believe what you said. If there was no money, where did the precious herbs transported from Lanling Villa every day come from?"

When Hu Tong heard this, he sighed and said, "Drop the east wall and repair the west wall."

Seeing that Hu Tong's words were accurate, unlike a lie, Cao Tianyue said, "Where did you hear that the empty treasury is big or small. If there is really no money, what should those victims do?"

When Hu Tong heard this, he pointed to the head on his head and said, "I'm afraid the emperor is worried about this matter, his head will be hurt!"

Cao Tianyue looked at Hu Tong, and he opened his mouth and swallowed the words to his mouth.

"Since the emperor ascended the throne, the most troublesome thing was money. When the former emperor was alive, the Northern Tang Kingdom had declined, and corrupt officials had hollowed out all the treasury. If the Ye family had not supported him, I was afraid that the emperor would have no choice but to do anything." Hu Tong said.

"Since the emperor ascended the throne, all the money needed belonged to the Ye family?" Cao Tianyue asked.

Hu Tong curled his lips and said, "Not all, most of them belong to the Ye family. The emperor is really unlucky. It's raining and raining. He just plundered some money and was about to be distributed to the victims. Now something happened to Lanling Villa again."

"Where did you find the money you plundered?" Cao Tianyue didn't understand where Nangong Ao could get the money besides those taxes.

"Of course I found it from the wealthy businessman's house." Hu Tong said.

Cao Tianyue glanced at Hu Tong and said, "Are you from the Ye family again?"

Seeing Cao Tianyue so excited, Hu Tong said, "No this time, it was from the Zhuo family in Liaocheng. I heard that it was sent by the Zhuo family voluntarily."

When Cao Tianyue heard Hu Tong mention the Zhuo family in Liaocheng, he asked in surprise, "Is the Zhuo family in Liaocheng the Empress Dowager's cousin Zhuo family?"

"Yes." Hu Tong responded.

Cao Tianyue's black eyes dimmed, thinking about why the Zhuo family gave Nangong Ao for no reason.

"The Zhuo family has a lot of money and has no place to spend it?" Cao Tianyue was puzzled.

It is said that money is not exposed. The Zhuo family is so high-profile that they are not afraid of provoking thieves.

Hu Tong looked at Cao Tianyue and frowned and said, "Don't guess randomly. The Zhuo family has the intention to do this, that is, the Zhuo family wants to use this money to donate an official."

When Hu Tong heard this, he snorted, "I really want to be an official in everything, don't you see if it's that piece of material."

Hu Tong glanced at Cao Tianyue and said, "This is the benefit of money. I have been studying hard for ten years to earn the rice in the court. But if I have money, I can only pay a few chunks of silver to eat."

When Cao Tianyue heard this, he did not continue to talk about this disappointing topic and said, "You can hold on here for a while, I'll go to Song Tidian."

When Hu Tong heard this, he immediately stretched out his hand and waved it like a puppy.

Hu Tong knew that Cao Tianyue went to Song Qisheng to help him deliver a letter to Ye Wange.

Cao Tianyue arrived at Song Qisheng. Baojiang said that Song Qisheng had been busy all night and had just fallen asleep.

When Cao Tianyue heard this, he stood there in embarrassment.

Seeing that Cao Tianyue was not leaving, Baojiang asked, "General Cao, do you have something to look for my master?"

Cao Tianyue nodded after hearing this, "Well, there is something to do."

Baojiang heard that Cao Tianyue had something to look for Song Qisheng, so he reached out and scratched the back of his head in a dilemma and said, "Is this... going to wake him up?"

Seeing Baojiang's embarrassment, Cao Tianyue said, "Forget it, don't wake Song Ti up."

Cao Tianyue was disappointed and was about to walk back when he heard a creak.

"General Cao." Song Qisheng came out of the house and called Cao Tianyue who was turning around and leaving.

Cao Tianyue heard Song Qisheng's voice and turned around, "Song Tik, aren't you resting?"

"I woke up when I heard General Cao's voice." Song Qisheng signaled Cao Tianyue to enter the room and speak.

Cao Tianyue turned around and returned, and after entering the house, Song Qisheng asked, "What's wrong?"

Cao Tianyue said, "The Empress asked me to inquire about Zhongze. I have inquired about it, but I did not find any bad actions in Zhongze."

Upon hearing this, Song Qisheng said, "What General Cao means is that I will pass the news to the Empress?"

"Yes." Cao Tianyue responded.

Song Qisheng nodded and said, "I understand."

It is very difficult to deliver messages now, and they are usually delivered by carrier pigeons, but those messages are delivered to Nangong Ao, so Song Qi Shengsheng asked the people who sent the medicine to bring the messages back.

But the people who delivered the medicine did not go directly to Lanling Villa. They placed the medicine in a small pavilion ten miles away from Lanling Villa, and then took it to the people in Lanling Villa.

The reason for doing this is to be afraid of infection, so people on both sides do not contact each other.

Every time there is a letter, Song Qisheng is stuck in the prescription.

It is a very troublesome thing to pass it to Ye Wange by the person who received the letter.

Cao Tianyue looked at Song Qisheng and said, "Song Tik, when you go to treat Nan Zhao's prince Zhongze, have you discovered that something was wrong with him?"

Song Qisheng shook his head, "No, it's no different from those suffering from plague."

"Such as Song Tidian's observation, can Zhongze escape this catastrophe?" Cao Tianyue asked.

Song Qisheng shook his head and said, "It's hard to say."

"Did General Cao find something wrong?" Song Qisheng looked at Cao Tianyue, who was asking around, said.

Cao Tianyue shook his head, "No, it's just that the Empress suspected that Zhong Ze came to Nanzhao not just to marry the Sixth Princess."

When Song Qisheng heard this, he said, "Nan Zhao was a defeated country in war and came to send compensation."

When he heard Song Qisheng say that Nan Zhao came to send compensation, Cao Tianyue asked suspiciously, "Song Tik, you are in the palace and have contacted these high-ranking officials and powerful people all day long. Have you heard of the empty treasury?"

When Song Qisheng heard Cao Tianyue's words, he said in surprise, "General Cao, hasn't the national treasury been empty for a long time?"

"It's been empty long ago. Where did the taxes collected go?" Cao Tianyue asked in confusion.

Song Qisheng shook his head, "I don't know, there are too many deficiencies, and the money I collected is not enough to plug the loopholes."

When Cao Tianyue heard this, he said, "It must have been embezzled, otherwise so much money would not cost so much for war."

"The concubines in the harem have all expenses, keep up with the Cao family army." Song Qisheng said.

When Cao Tianyue heard this, he said dissatisfiedly, "Our Cao family army fought bloody battles on the battlefield, but they lived a life of luxury and lewdness."

When Song Qisheng heard Cao Tianyue’s grievance, he comforted him, “The emperors of all generations have few people in the harem of the emperor today, which is already good. However, when the late emperor was alive, there were too many deficits. The emperor is now tearing down the east wall and repairing the west wall, and is wiping the butt for the late emperor.”

"Oh." Cao Tianyue sighed.

After talking about private matters, Cao Tianyue talked about official affairs with Song Qisheng, "Song mentioned, how is the drug for treating this disease developed?"

Hearing Cao Tianyue’s question, Song Qisheng said, “Do you think I am a god? Can you develop the medicine in these two days?”

"Aren't I in a hurry?" Cao Tianyue said anxiously.

"No matter how anxious you are, it's useless. You have to take your time." Song Qisheng comforted Cao Tianyue.

Cao Tianyue was anxious here, and Ye Wange was anxious there.

As soon as the sky was dawn, he heard news from Zhang Fugui that Hu Jing was staying in Liuyun Pavilion overnight last night.

When Ye Wange heard that Hu Jing stayed in Liuyun Pavilion last night, she frowned angrily.

"This Zhang Fugui is just a hindsight. Hu Jing stayed in Liuyun Pavilion overnight last night. Now he has reported to me and wants to seek credit." Ye Wange scolded Zhang Fugui angrily.

"Empress, my father-in-law has really healed his scar and forgot the pain." said the little ruler.
