[Three Kingdoms] Carnival

The sun is rising, the clouds are dyed gold, the color of the chrysanthemum is getting thicker, the green leaves are newly exposed, and the morning sparrow stops by the window of the pavilion, chirping.

Suddenly, there was a "crack" in the house, and the sparrow immediately spread its wings and flew over the eaves in a hurry.

"Empress, please slow down and be careful about your body." In the gorgeous palace, a little yellow door is cleaning the jade cup that was accidentally broken by the woman because of her mood, and the maids are following carefully beside the woman in Chinese clothes. I'm not afraid of ruining things, but I'm afraid of hurting her.

If you look at it carefully, women in fancy clothes are actually only girls in their twenties and eight years. Even if they wear jade hairpins and gold hairpins, and draw thick eyebrows and red lips, they can't hide the youthfulness that belongs to girls after that.After persuasion by the maid, and she was really hot and tired in the heavy palace attire, she finally sat back on the cushion.But she is still beautiful and tightly frowned, her cherry lips are lightly pursed, and her indescribable worries and thoughts are also endless.

She is the most favored concubine in this harem, Dong Cheng's daughter, Concubine Dong Gui.

"Go and see, why isn't Uncle Guo coming?"

"Your Majesty, don't be in a hurry, drink a cup of tea and rest first. At this time, the previous court should have just ended. Uncle Guo will come over as soon as he receives the letter from the Empress." The maid persuaded.Another court lady hurriedly served a cup of warm tea with good eyesight. Concubine Dong took a sip and put it aside, her beauty still frowning like a river.

At this time, a voice came from outside the palace, Concubine Dong stood up suddenly, and just about to go out, Dong Cheng had already lifted the bead curtain with great strides, walked around the screen and walked in.

"Father!"

"Wait." Dong Cheng raised his hand to stop Concubine Dong, and sternly swept around the maids in the room.Only then did Concubine Dong come to her senses, and quickly waved her hand to let the maids back out.It wasn't until there were only father and daughter left in the room that Dong Cheng's stern face eased a bit.He sat next to Concubine Dong and said lovingly:

"Your Majesty hastily sent a letter to call for my servant, I don't know when it will be?"

"Father." Concubine Dong called softly, she was completely gentle with her younger daughter, "There is no one else here, so you don't have to be so special."

Hearing what Concubine Dong said, and seeing his daughter relying on him as usual, Dong Cheng's eyes became even softer.He lightly rubbed Concubine Dong's head and said, "Okay, then what's the matter with you calling me father?"

Concubine Dong's beauty, which had just relaxed a little, frowned again.She bit her lips tightly, first took off the coat, and then reached for the belt to take off the coat.Without the cover of the clothes, at a glance, her abdomen is slightly swollen.

Dong Cheng was shocked, but also overjoyed: "This is..."

"Father." Concubine Dong's voice was as soft as a mosquito, afraid that others would hear, "I'm pregnant with a dragon son."

Just as Guo Jia got off the carriage, a beautiful figure came into view.

"Master, go home."

Seeing Xi Wu's smile like a flower, the haze in Guo Jia's heart dissipated a lot.He walked into the mansion with Xiwu, and joked with a smile: "The people in the mansion are not Mr. Huan Jia, they call Jia the master, only you, and you can't change your mouth after all these years."

Xiwu smiled and said: "For Ah Wu, the young master is the young master, and has nothing to do with the changes of the years."

"You girl." Guo Jia laughed.Ever since the news about Pengcheng came back, most of the servants in the mansion dared not touch him when they saw him, and only Xiwu was able to chat and joke with him for a while.

At the door of the study, Xiwu left to do other things, and Guo Jia walked in alone.The bamboo slips in the house were scattered all over the place in a mess, exactly the same as when he left yesterday.It's not that the mansion is so deserted that there are no servants to clean it up, but this study is a forbidden place prohibited by Guo Jiaming's order, no matter how chaotic it is, no one can come in and touch anything.

Guo Jia sat down on the couch, and opened the bamboo slips that had been overturned on the desk yesterday. On it was the message sent by octopus yesterday.As for who poisoned the matter, the octopus still knows nothing, and the investigation has made no progress.

But now, he already knew.

Ling Xiao couldn't do it because Feng Yi took his place.Madam Bian said this to remind him not to make the same mistake as Dong Zhuo.

Beauty water is the deadliest.

It turned out that in some people's minds, he could be compared to Dong Zhuo, which made him laugh and cry.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.Guo Jia frowned, just as he wanted his servants to retreat, a soft voice came from outside the house:

"Husband, did the concubine come in?"

Guo Jia paused for a moment, then responded as usual: "Come in."

Mrs. Cao did not expect that Guo Jia would allow her to enter the study today.Surprised, she opened the door and walked in.In order not to spill the medicine in the bowl in her hand, she walked very slowly, very slowly, in order to secretly calm down her faster and faster heartbeat.

Her intuition told her that something was wrong with Guo Jia today, but her rationality made her go straight to Guo Jia without fear.

"Husband, take a rest and drink the medicine first."

Covering the bamboo slips at just the right time, Mrs. Cao couldn't see the content clearly, and seeing Guo Jia turned her head, she immediately looked away.Guo Jia didn't seem to care, and took the medicine bowl.Seeing the pure black concoction approaching Guo Jia's lips little by little, Cao's heart also rose a little bit, and it rose to her throat.

"Hehe." Just when the concoction was about to be swallowed, Guo Jia suddenly looked at it and chuckled.

"Husband...why are you laughing?"

Guo Jia had already put the medicine bowl back on the case, and with a soft cry, he stretched out his arms and wrapped Cao's waist and hugged him into his arms.Mrs. Cao struggled subconsciously, and suddenly came to her senses. She stayed in Guo Jia's arms a little stiffly, looked up at Guo Jia's smiling face, and said with a forced smile, "Husband, drink the medicine first, and then..."

"Ma'am, this medicine is too bitter." Guo Jia said slowly, with a deep and intimate voice.He picked up the bowl, but brought it to Cao's lips, "Why don't you, madam, drink this bowl for your husband first?"

"Husband, this... this medicinal material is precious, and you are not allowed to mess around."

"What does it matter, there should be some leftovers in Jingui's mansion, just cook another bowl later."

Guo Jia didn't care, and pushed the bowl a little further.The bowl was tilted, and seeing that the medicine juice was about to flow into the mouth, Mrs. Cao suddenly pushed Guo Jia away, and then took advantage of the gap to get up and hide aside.Guo Jia spilled all the medicine in his hand.

Guo Jia looked at the clothes stained by the medicinal juice, and then looked up at Cao Shi who was gasping for breath in fear, with a half-smile.

"I can't drink this medicine... I can't drink it..."

"Oh? Why not?"

"I, I, I'm happy!"

Guo Jia's face suddenly changed.He looked straight at Cao Shi, the coldness deep in his eyes made Cao Shi feel his hands and feet were cold, and his back was soaked with sweat.

"Come here." Guo Jia said, and at some point, Xi Wu who was outside the house came in, "Call Cang Zhu."

"Yes, sir."

Not long after, Cang Zhu came in a hurry, and as soon as he checked his pulse, he confirmed: "Madam's pulse is indeed a happy pulse."

"Is that so..." Guo Jia thought for a while, then looked at Mrs. Cao who had calmed down for so long, "Then please Madam, how about staying in the courtyard to raise your baby in peace?"

"...Did I have the right to refuse from the very beginning?" Mrs. Cao didn't argue too much, just smiled miserably, blessed her body, and turned to leave.

She could guess what was waiting for her next, but inexplicably, when she learned that Guo Jia already knew there was something wrong with the medicine, she felt inexplicably relieved.

"Ms. Cao." Guo Jia's voice came from behind, "You will not be a good wife, but you will always be a good mother, right?"

"Oh, maybe." Cao replied, but unconsciously caressed her lower abdomen with her hand.After half a lifetime of absurdity, she suddenly felt that only the warmth in this belly was her last sustenance.

"Don't worry, I won't hurt my child, absolutely not."

"It's your blessing to be able to conceive a dragon heir and spread the branches and leaves for the royal family." After Dong Cheng repeatedly confirmed that Concubine Dong was pregnant, he said with joy, "Why didn't you tell Father Wei earlier? You can tell the Holy Father Already?" Concubine Dong is already pregnant, obviously not just pregnant.It has been more than three months to say the least.

Concubine Dong shook her head, and said: "My daughter didn't tell the Holy Majesty, nor did she tell anyone, only a few confidant maids around her knew about it. Originally, she thought that she would wait for five months, and then publicize it when she was completely stable, but... ...but..." Concubine Dong's voice was trembling uncontrollably, but she still tried her best to calm down. She found out a few days ago that a court lady who knew she was pregnant was quietly spreading the news, "Father, daughter knows this pregnancy, there is no doubt I have become a thorn in the side of many people, my daughter is so scared, what should my daughter do?!"

Dong Chengren and Concubine Dong held his hand tightly, thinking about it secretly.It was the right decision for Concubine Dong not to spread the news before she was pregnant. Now that Cao Cao has all the power, there must be many eyes and ears in this harem. If such a wolfish and ambitious person knew about this in advance, he would definitely kill the Dragon Heir.But even now, Concubine Dong is already pregnant, if Cao Cao really wants to do something, it will be easy.unless

The plan in his heart gradually took shape, Dong Cheng covered Dong Concubine's catkin with the other hand, and first comforted him: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, with a father, you will be able to protect your mother and child." Seeing Dong Concubine's expression softened, she lowered her The voice said, "Where is the maid?"

"I was locked up by my daughter."

"It's not enough to just shut it down. I don't know if the news about her has spread. Leaving her will only cause more trouble." Dong Cheng looked at Concubine Dong, and slowly moved his hand to his neck, making a "killing" motion.

"Father!" Concubine Dong's voice was so frightened that she suddenly raised her voice, and then immediately lowered her voice, "After all, she has been with her daughter for many years, and it may not be Cao Sikong's... ah!"

Before she could finish speaking, Concubine Dong's hands were in severe pain, and Dong Cheng unexpectedly grabbed her hand instead with such force that it almost broke her beautiful hand.

Dong Cheng stared straight at Concubine Dong, his voice was like an evening bell, serious and low: "Daughter, listen to my father, now is the moment when the future of the Han family and our Dong family are at stake, you must not be soft-hearted. Next , Everything is obeyed by the father, understand?!"

Concubine Dong didn't know whether she was frightened or in pain, she was in a daze, and she nodded mechanically after a while.

Seeing his daughter's cooperation, Dong Cheng eased his tone and let go of his hands: "Cao Cao is determined to usurp the throne, and he definitely doesn't want to see the emperor have heirs, so if you want to protect yourself and the dragon son, you must get the full protection of the emperor. Under the prestige, Cao Cao dared not act rashly even if he wanted to save face."

"Then... my daughter will ask the Holy Master to come over tonight and tell him about this?" Concubine Dong rubbed her red hands, uncertain.

"No, wait a little longer." Dong Cheng shook his head, "Although the Holy Majesty is dissatisfied with Cao Cao, he is not yet on guard. Now tell the Holy Majesty that although he will get the protection of the Holy Majesty, it is still not enough... In this way, the Majesty In the future, I will go to the western suburb of Qiuyu, and on the night when Qiuyu comes back, you will tell the Holy One that you are pregnant."

"Why?" Concubine Dong asked suspiciously.

Dong Cheng just laughed but didn't answer.

why?Because after the fall of that day, the Holy Majesty will know that Cao Cao is just another Dong Zhuo.

And as a relative of the emperor, and his daughter is pregnant, when the Holy Majesty is frightened and angry, he must be trusted by the Holy Majesty and become his confidant.

In this way, as long as Cao Cao can be removed in the future

Dong Cheng lowered his eyes, hiding all kinds of calculations in the depths.

"Also, in court today, I found a man named Liu Bei for my father. Not only is he loyal and well-known, but he is also a member of the Han family. His Majesty seems to have a lot of affection for him. If you have the opportunity, I need to mention this person more to the Holy Majesty, remember?"

Concubine Dong did not doubt that she had it. All she wanted at the moment was to keep the child in her womb and let it be born safely.She is not strong by nature, she is as soft as a willow, and based on her trust in her biological father, she listened to Dong Cheng's entrustment, nodded her head and said solemnly:

"Father, don't worry, my daughter will remember."

"Sir, take your medicine."

Not long after Mrs. Cao left, Cang Zhu came in with a new bowl of medicine.Guo Jia could smell the bitter taste from afar, hesitated again and again, but obediently gulped it down.

He is counting the hours every moment now, but he dare not stop drinking the medicine.

"Sir, let me feel your pulse again."

According to Yan, Guo Jia stretched out his hand casually.Cangzhu clasped on the man's wrist, his brows became more and more wrinkled.

"Did sir drink again yesterday?"

"Drink a little...not much."

"Sir!" Cang Zhu said anxiously, "Alcoholism hurts the body, not to mention that with the current body of Mr., even a sip of wine..."

"Then there's nothing you can do if you don't drink." Guo Jia shrugged.Apart from pretending to be drunk to hide the truth, he had no other choice yesterday.

"No matter what, sir can't drink anymore! And you must pay attention to rest and diet in the future, every day..."

"Cang Zhu." Guo Jia's expression changed, and his smile faded slightly.He turned his head to look at Cang Zhu who was still talking about the doctor's advice, and frowned, "Is it because Jia treats you too close, making you feel that you can decide for Jia whether you can or can't?"

Cang Zhu's face turned pale, and she immediately knelt down: "Cang Zhu knows his mistake, let the leader punish him!"

Guo Jia remained silent, picked up a porcelain bottle from the table and threw it at someone.

A trace of despair flashed in Cang Zhu's eyes, but she still obediently picked up the porcelain bottle, opened it, and found that the bottle was half filled with black liquid.He closed his eyes, raised it to his lips, and was about to drink

"What are you drinking! This is for painting."

"Huh?" Cang Zhu opened her eyes when she heard the words, and looked at Guo Jia who was full of doubts and looked like "hate iron but not steel".

Guo Jia sighed, and said: "The liquid in this bottle can remove the octopus tattoo on your body. From then on, you will no longer be a octopus person."

"Sir?!" Cang Zhu panicked completely, the fear in his eyes was a hundred times greater than before, "Cang Zhu is willing to accept the punishment, please sir"

"You have been with your master for many years, so you are not considered a crocodile." Guo Jiawen said, "You also know that Jiade's lifespan is only this year. After Jia's death, someone else will take over the crocodile, you are afraid I can't adapt to the change of the octopus. It's better to follow your master, to be a medical officer, or to hang the pot to help the world, it's better than staying."

Hearing Guo Jia's words, Cang Zhu felt a sore heart, full of self-blame and guilt.If he could have the master's medical skills, maybe the husband's illness would not be so bad, maybe at least he could survive the end of the year...Suddenly, he recalled Guo Jia's words just now, and raised his head suddenly:

"Sir, do you know where Master is?"

"I just found out. Just recently, your master should be in Xudu."

The bamboo slips just delivered lay quietly on the desk, and what was written in the pen and ink was the activities of the owl guard thousands of miles away.

To be on the safe side, for Hua Tuo, an old friend, he had no choice but to invite him no longer so politely.
