Cao Miao returned to the mansion, and Jia Chunhua, who was waiting at the door, greeted him with an anxious expression.

"Prince, you're back."

Cao Miao looked at her and felt uneasy. I'm afraid something happened in the house. Chunhua is still a maid in name, but she is deeply favored by Cao Zhi, and she is actually Cao Zhi's concubine, in charge of the affairs of Cao Zhi's courtyard. It's just that Cao Zhi is too young, so he didn't give her an official name. If it's not an important matter, just send Qiuchun or a small slave to wait here, and she doesn't need to wait here.

"What's the matter?"

"Please come with your servant." Chunhua bowed and led Cao Miao to the East Cross Courtyard. The Yongqiu Mansion in Jingshi is larger than the palace in Yongqiu, but the layout is similar, and Cao Zhi still lives in the East Courtyard, which has the worst status.

After entering the small courtyard, Cao Miao smelled the smell of medicine. He quickened his pace and broke into Cao Zhi's bedroom. Mrs. Xie, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, heard the footsteps, and hurriedly got up and saluted Cao Miao. Cao Miao nodded hurriedly, grabbed Cao Zhi's bedside in two steps, and frowned after only one glance.

Cao Zhi's ass was smashed again. This time it's really rotten, unlike the last time it was just a flesh wound. Cao Zhi lay on the bed, his face was pale, his breath was weak, as if he was dead.

"Who hit it? For what? Cao Miao suppressed her anger and said in a deep voice.

"It was the king who punished him." Mrs. Chen said softly: "The eldest prince doesn't have to worry, he has already taken the medicine, and he will be fine after ten and a half months of rest." ”

"Father?" Cao Miao frowned. "He's crazy too?"

Mrs. Xie blinked, pretending not to hear. Chunhua leaned into Qingtao's ear and muttered a few words. Qingtao stepped forward and attached to Cao Miao's ear.

"The king has written many times, but there is no reply in the palace, and today a permanent attendant came to inquire about the prince's condition, saying that the palace is going to send a doctor to come to diagnose the disease. The second prince saw that the king was anxious, so he asked more, but the attendant did not answer. The king said that the second prince's words were inappropriate, and punished the second prince in front of the attendants. ”

Cao Miao understood. This is the father Cao Zhi who is in a hurry, and sprinkles the nameless fire on Cao Zhi, who speaks for him. This unsuccessful thing is really underwhelming. If you don't fight for three days, you will go to the house to uncover the tiles.

Cao Miao looked left and right, but didn't find anything to take advantage of, turned to Qingtao and said, "Go, get my stick." ”

Qingtao was stunned. "Sticks?"

Cao Miao's eyes widened. "Can't you understand people?"

Qingtao was startled, turned around and went out. Cao Miao also turned to leave, Mrs. Xie and Chunhua looked at each other, wanting to stop but didn't dare to stop. Mrs. Xie gave Chunhua a look, signaled her to take care of Cao Zhi carefully, turned around and rushed to the main hall, and reported to Cao Zhi.

Cao Zhi was pacing in the study with his hands in his hands, his steps were broken, like a trapped beast, he stopped from time to time, sighed, and then paced again. Seeing Mrs. Xie coming in, she hurriedly asked, "How is Yungong?" ”

Mrs. Xie said: "It's okay to be respectful, just rest for ten days and a half months." However, the king will be in trouble, so it's better to hide quickly. ”

"What trouble can I have?" Cao Zhi disdainfully flicked his sleeves, and before he finished speaking, he heard Cao Miao's voice outside, and his face suddenly changed greatly. "Yunliang is back?"

Mrs. Xie nodded, and before she could speak, Cao Zhi rushed to the window with an arrow, and the moment Cao Miao entered the door, a fish jumped out of the window, rolled on the spot, and was silent.

Even if they get along day and night, they are inseparable, and Mrs. Xie's eyes widen in shock. When did the king's skills become so neat? It's almost time to be twenty years old.

"What about people?" Cao Miao carried a stick, kicked open the door, and rushed in. Seeing that there was only Mrs. Xie in the house, but Cao Zhi could not be seen, and seeing that the window was open, he immediately understood. He walked to the window and tapped it with a stick. "Did you come in on your own, or did I go out and chase you?"

There was silence outside the house, and Cao Zhi slowly stood up with a smirk. "Yunliang is back? Out for a cooler? It's windy outside, and it's cool. ”

"Cool, huh? Do you want to have fun? Cao Miao hit the palm of her hand with a stick, and she didn't smile.

Cao Zhi blinked and glanced at Mrs. Xie. Mrs. Xie understood and quietly withdrew. Cao Zhi slowly walked around to the door, and was staggered by Mrs. Xie, the two made eye contact, Mrs. Xie left, Cao Zhi moved into the house step by step, and stood against the wall.

Cao Miao had already sat down on Cao Zhi's bookcase, reading an article that Cao Zhi was writing. Although the article is newly written, the meaning is old, and it is nothing more than to urge the emperor to call off the army and stop the attack on Wu.

"I'm asking you a question." Cao Miao put down the article and looked at Cao Zhi.

Cao Zhi squeezed out a smile. "Yunliang, you say."

"How do you wake up someone who is pretending to be asleep?"

Cao Zhi looked embarrassed and said with a wry smile: "Even if you pretend to be asleep, how can you wake up." ”

Cao Miao nodded. "You are right, those who pretend to be asleep cannot wake up. There are only two ways to wake him up: one is to wake up, and the other is to wait for him to encounter a life and death crisis, and he will naturally wake up. The stick in Cao Miao's hand was eager to try. Do you say it's better to wake up, or wait for him to wake up on his own? ”

Cao Zhi's eyes followed the stick in Cao Miao's hand, maintaining a posture of slipping away at any time. "Naturally, he waited for him to wake up, but ......"

"But if he won't wake up, then he has to wake up, right?"

Cao Zhi didn't answer, he was silent for a moment, and suddenly let out a long sigh. "Yunliang, do you know who is the person from the palace today? It's Xun Fei (yi). ”

"I don't know."

"He's your cousin, Yun Gong knows. I thought that my relatives, when his father was alive, were friends with me again, and I thought about the past feelings, maybe I could reveal a little news, but I didn't think about ......it" Cao Zhi's expression was gloomy, his head was lowered, and his shoulders were rubbed, like a defeated dog, and it was a defeated dog who had just been beaten for a while.

Cao Miao thought about it carefully, as if she was a little impressed, but she couldn't remember what it looked like. The Cao family and the Xun family are married, and he has an aunt who is married to Xun Yu's eldest son, Xun Yun. Unlike many Ru Ying's disciples who support Cao Pi, Xun Yun doesn't like Cao Pi, but gets close to Cao Zhi. Xun Yun has two sons, one of whom is called Xun Fei.

It seems that Cao Zhi made a mistake and would be wrong, but when he touched his nose, he sent the evil fire on Cao Zhi.

"Don't talk about those who don't, answer my question, if someone pretends to be asleep and refuses to wake up, should they wake up?"

Cao Zhi let out a long breath. "Let's wait for him to wake up. I don't think it will be long. ”

Cao Miao stood up. "Well, from now on, write your poems with peace of mind, and you are not allowed to discuss politics again. Otherwise......" he tapped the bookcase with a stick. "I have no choice but to act on behalf of Emperor Wu in the spirit of the sky, and punish you a little to wake you up."

Cao Zhi replied twice, and then said, "Xun Fei said that he will bring the imperial doctor tomorrow to diagnose you." ”

Cao Miao walked out and waved the stick in his hand. "Don't worry, he won't cure me."
