[Three Kingdoms] Carnival

No one followed, Liu Xie walked aimlessly, and the brocade robe was stained with blood by the setting sun.Without the shackles of heavy finery, he felt the temperature of the sun more clearly.This kind of sunset lingering in front of the night, even though it is still bright and dazzling, does not have any warmth, just like what he said

In the Han Palace, no matter how majestic it is, it is just a show.

Just now, he lied to Fushou, the only person in this world who he thought would not cheat.

An hour ago, Xun? Peptone? Neon? Negative? Refuting Meng Yun's relatives? But it was no longer the murder of Lu Yingong, but Zheng Zhuanggong's killing of his younger brother.

Duke Zhuang is the fisherman, and Uncle Duan is the fish.

Cao Cao is the fisherman, and Emperor Han is the fish.

"Duke Zheng is good at planning, but with Uncle Duan's virtue and talent, if it hadn't for Mr. Zheng to prevent it from happening, the state of Zheng would be ruined by the dispute between the two sons. In the end, even though Uncle Duan became the king of Zheng State by the way of not being a younger brother, I dare to ask Your Majesty : If a monarch can’t help the country, calm the world, or protect the common people. If he doesn’t have God’s will, but he doesn’t hear the voice of the people, even if he has power in his hands, he will not dare to disobey the world. Is it an emperor?"

He answered Xun?? Tailor Chu Ke? Ya? Argon locust?br>

At that moment, he was bone-chilling.He knew that all the plans of Fu Shou and Fu Wan had been exposed.

Zheng Gong, who didn't know where he was, was waiting for Shu Duan's armored soldiers, soldiers and soldiers to attack Zheng, and then used this as an excuse to wipe out Shu Duan.Xun Ji in the middle of the gap? 跣? Naohui surname won? Mace milk and Jing? Yuebazhai?

Liu Xie was really scared.He was not afraid of losing this life that should have been handed over long ago, but he was afraid of letting the person he loved die for him again.He was not reconciled, not reconciled to let Han Zuo, who had lasted for a hundred years, die in his hands; but he finally couldn't bear it, and couldn't bear to let other people bleed for him.

So he could only use this method to pray that Cao Cao would let Fu's family go for the sake of everything that hadn't happened yet.

"Perhaps, I'm really not suitable to be an emperor..."

Walking to a place where no one was around, he leaned against the cold palace wall and muttered to himself mockingly.

At the beginning Dong Zhuo abolished his elder brother and chose him. Although he hated Dong Zhuo's cruelty, the newly established emperor also believed that he was more suitable to be an emperor and revive the Han Dynasty than his gentle and almost cowardly elder brother.But now, like his elder brother, he began to soften his heart, and began to not bear to lose anything he had gained.

But the cruelty of the world is that if you want to get one thing, you must give up another thing you still love deeply.Dilemma, should be broken constantly, is the benevolence of women that heroes ridicule.

"His Majesty?"

A soft voice suddenly sounded beside him, like water coming out of a valley, clear and pleasant.Liu Xie quickly put away the hesitation on his face, looked up and saw a girl in a pale pink skirt.She was born extremely beautiful, with a pair of phoenix eyes somewhat similar to Cao Cao, but she did not feel majestic, but very cunning and agile.Seeing Liu Xie looking over, she remembered her impoliteness, and hurriedly bowed her knees to salute Liu Xie.

Liu Xie met her several times in Fuhou's palace and recognized her as Cao Jie, Cao Cao's daughter.

"You don't need to be too polite." Liu Xie tried his best to cover up the turmoil in his heart with a soft voice, "Did you come to the palace to see Ah Shou? I just came out of her palace, and she suddenly felt unwell. The imperial doctor told her to rest well. You may not see her anytime soon."

Cao Jie smiled, and replied politely: "His Majesty, the courtiers did not come to pay a visit to Her Majesty the Empress. It was just that when I left yesterday, I accidentally left something, so I reported it to Her Majesty the Empress. Afterwards, if you come to the palace to pick it up today, you will not bother His Highness."

She paused, her sly eyes looked at Liu Xie curiously and cautiously,

"Forgive me for taking the liberty, but Your Majesty has something on his mind? If you don't think my daughter is shallow, maybe Your Majesty can tell your daughter." After a few seconds of pause, she said, "My daughter will not tell anyone, please rest assured, Your Majesty. .”

But no matter how sincere Cao Jie's voice was, it was impossible for Liu Xie to open up to her just because her surname was "Cao".But in all fairness, because of this incident, Liu Xie's impression of Cao Jie was not as bad as that of other Cao family members.

With a slight movement in his heart, he couldn't help saying: "I do have a doubt, and I want to ask Ms. Cao. When Ms. Ling was talking to Sister Ling that day, why did she insist that you personally sent someone to find the tea?" As soon as the words came out, he realized again What did you see, and added, "I didn't mean to eavesdrop on your sister's conversation. It's just that I ordered my sister to enter the palace that day, and I happened to go to the central palace to discuss important matters with the empress. When passing by the garden, I overheard one or two."

"Your Majesty was joking. In the whole world, is it possible that the king is the land, why talk about the word 'overhearing'." Cao Jie replied warmly.Her expression was still so sincere that Liu Xie couldn't take her words as irony no matter how maliciously she speculated, "It's ashamed to say that when the servant girl knew that the younger brother at home was seriously ill because of the tea that the servant girl sent back to the mansion At that moment, the minister was at a loss. At that moment, the courtier only thought that it was the fault of the courtier that caused the younger brother to suffer from the disease, so she was clumsy and said that the tea belonged to the courtier. She didn't think of it at all other people."

Liu Xie didn't speak.He was secretly evaluating the credibility of Cao Jie's words.

"I have never been as smart as my brothers since I was a child. When my sister asked me for the second time, I realized that the tea was sent by someone from Her Royal Highness." Having said this, Cao Jie chuckled, and the little girl The daughter's family-like crispness and cuteness seemed to be embarrassing because of her poor memory, "But at that time, the servant girl thought again, since the servant girl had already told her sister that this tea has nothing to do with others, why should she change her mind now? "

She lowered her head slightly, and a strand of black hair slid from behind to the front of her body: "My daughter is just a little girl, neither as profound as everyone in the class, nor as broad-minded as Her Majesty the Queen, so I don't know why Her Majesty is doing this." But one thing I know, if my elder sister finds out that the tea is related to Her Majesty the Empress, I'm afraid it will cause another dispute.

But I don't like disputes. "

Therefore, she knew that Cao Pi had probably already guessed that the tea was related to Fu Hou or Liu Xie, but she still insisted that the source of the tea was only her.Cao Chong is fine, as long as she doesn't change her mind, this matter will stop with her.Fuhou had no chance to continue to advance the plan, and Cao Pi had no chance to take advantage of this to intimidate the Han Dynasty.

"Are you really Prime Minister Cao's daughter?" Liu Xie couldn't help but blurted out what was in his mind, "Your character is nothing like your father."

"Your Majesty!" Cao Jie suddenly changed his expression.She swept away the gentleness just now, showing eagerness, "The reason why my daughter did this is because of my father's earnest teaching. All along, my father has been serving His Majesty and the Han Dynasty. Even if my father is not in Xudu now, my daughter I dare not forget my father's teachings, so I did this.

Perhaps His Majesty thinks that what the courtiers have done is ulterior motives and has other plans, but please also trust your father's fistful heart. "

"The heart of fists? What a heart of fists!" Even though he told himself over and over again that the person in front of him was Cao Cao's daughter, Liu Xie, who was full of fear and anger, still couldn't hold on to his mask, and was ignited by Cao Jie's words and endured in Fushou's place He was furious, "He worked for me and the Han Dynasty, so he killed my nobleman and my unborn child?! He just imprisoned me here as a canary and gave him a cover, and then waited for the world to be destroyed. Holding it in your hands, you will be like a reckless thief and destroy me?! This is your loyal father?!"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." Cao Jie was taken aback by Liu Xie's sudden anger, and after a moment of stuttering, he stammered, "Your Majesty, I know that Your Majesty and Father have misunderstood. But...but... "She took a long breath, and then she stabilized her mind, and her voice became stable and firm again, "However, my daughter thinks that if I want to make a living for the world, my father really has no other choice. And my daughter believes that, When the world is at peace, my father will definitely not commit any usurpation. My daughter dares to guarantee her father with her life."

"Heh." Liu Xie looked at Cao Jie sarcastically, "By then, I will be dead, so how can I take your life?"

"My father imitated the day of the reckless thief, and I would like to die to persuade my father. If my father insists on going his own way, I would like to kill myself and be buried in the Han Dynasty."

Even though he didn't believe a single word, Liu Xie was still shocked by the sudden burst of determination when the girl in front of him said these words.From Cao Jie's black and white phoenix eyes, in a trance, he seemed to see the immortal light of He Cai's back lying behind him just now.

"That's all." Liu Xie sighed softly, returning to the initial false gentleness.Even though Cao Jie was Cao Cao's daughter, she was just a girl who didn't know the dangers of the world. Liu Xie felt ashamed for himself when he vented his anger on her, "Today, you didn't hear anything, and I didn't hear anything either."

"His Majesty……"

Liu Xie raised his hand to stop Cao Jie from continuing to defend Cao Cao, and changed the subject: "By the way, what did you drag into the Queen's Palace?"

Cao Jie stopped talking, reluctantly changed the subject with Liu Xie, and replied, "Your Majesty, they are a pair of jades."

"Yu Jue? In the huge Prime Minister's Mansion, there are all kinds of treasures in the world. Why do you need to make an extra trip for a pair of Yu Jue?"

"Your Majesty, the pair of jades are just ordinary ornaments and are not precious. It's just that it was a birthday gift from my mother to my daughter, so I took the liberty to come to the palace to disturb His Highness the Queen. Thank you for your understanding of my daughter's selfishness, Let the courtiers enter the palace to look for it."

"The queen promised you yesterday, but today she suddenly contracted a serious illness. I'm afraid it's..." It would be a waste of time for Miss Cao to make a trip.

He wanted to say the next few words without mercy.After all, even if Cao Jie appeared to be sincere, he did not believe that Cao Cao's daughter would enter the palace just because of a pair of jade, and he did not believe that Cao Jie said before that the tea was sold to avoid further conflicts between the Cao family and the Han family. Hide it.He couldn't see what Cao Jie was planning, but in order to protect Fushou, he would never let the Cao family step into the palace again.

But Cao Jie's involuntarily soft voice when he mentioned the word "mother" sounded in his mind again.He was raised by the Empress Dowager Dong since he was a child, and his impression of his mother Wang Meiren is almost blank. The only understanding he has is only through the few memorial poems written by his father to his mother.Comparing his heart to his heart, if his mother had left something for him, let alone re-enter?

Liu Xie thought about it, and finally managed to find a perfect solution.He took off the dragon-shaped jade from his waist: "The empress has been unwell recently. I am worried about her health and don't allow anyone to disturb her. But after all, what Miss Cao lost was a gift from my mother. I won’t ignore it either. In this way, I will give this piece of jade that I carry with you to Miss Cao, and when the servant finds the pair of jades in the palace where Miss Cao lived before, Miss Cao will exchange this piece of jade, how about it?”

"Your Majesty's belongings are too valuable. My daughter dare not..."

Liu Xie pretended to be angry and said: "If you still treat me as the emperor, you will accept me."

Hearing these words, Cao Jie hurriedly took the jade cup and put it carefully in his sleeve.He raised his head again, and asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, will the pair of Yu Jue really help the courtier find it?"

"In your eyes, the emperor, I can't even find a pair of small jades?" Liu Xie frowned.The feeling of being so distrusted by a little girl made him really angry, "If you can't find it, I will give this piece of jade to Ms. Cao. The gift from the emperor is worth the pair lost by Ms. Cao." Yu Jue?"

"It's my daughter's slip of the tongue." Cao Jie immediately lowered his head and stopped talking about the pair of Yu Jue.The two were silent for a while, then Cao Jie knelt slightly and said softly, "In this case, I will not bother Your Majesty anymore. I will leave now."

Liu Xie nodded, Cao Jie saluted again, turned and left.Walking halfway, he couldn't help but look back, looking forward to a glance at Liu Xie, and after meeting Liu Xie's stern gaze, he turned back in surprise and left the palace.

Originally, Liu Xie made up his mind to use that piece of jade to prevaricate, so he didn't care about it anymore.But at the end, Cao Jie looked at him expectantly, always popping into his mind from time to time, lingering.In desperation, he could only order his servants to search for the palace where Cao Jie once lived, just to see what is the secret of Yu Jue that she can't forget.

However, the news brought back by the servant was beyond his expectation.On the day Cao Jie left the palace, Fu Hou had ordered the palace staff to secretly clean up everything left by Cao Jie, including the pair of jades.

Fuhou knew that Cao Jie would not be able to find Yu Jue, but allowed her to enter the palace. From this, it can be seen that Fuhou's beating was to take this opportunity to put Cao Jie under house arrest in the palace, so that Cao Pi would be wary.

"It seems that that piece of jade? I really want to give it to her." After hearing the servant's report, Liu Xie shook his head helplessly, regretting his impromptu intention that day.

He didn't tell Cao Jie that the dragon-shaped jade piece was the only birthday gift his mother left for him, Empress Dowager Dong told him.

Forget it, I lost the jade that her mother gave her, and she got the jade that my mother left behind.

It's better for him and the Cao family not to have such contact again.

In order to avoid the day when you die and live, you will cut off your kindness and your righteousness, which will only increase your resentment.
