Cao Miao was angry. If Cao Zhi was in front of him, he would pick up a stick and beat him hard.

Isn't it too much to pretend to be okay for such a big thing, without even a little reminder?

Cao Miao walked out of the cabin, walked to his cabin, and walked around the corner, the figure in front of him flashed, and Shi Caiying blocked his way.

In an instant, Cao Miao hid her anger and regained her composure. He looked at Shi Caiying and laughed silently: "Should I call you aunt or sister?" ”

Shi Caiying was very helpless. "Ah Hu's mother is my fellow sister."

"Then I'll be relieved." Cao Miao glanced back at Ah Hu, who was on guard in the distance. "I'm still saying the same thing, you can take him away at any time. I think your fellow sister only cares about him and nothing else. ”

"What about your father? He doesn't care about anything else? ”

Cao Miao's eyes tightened, and just as she was about to speak, Shi Caiying bowed, took a step back, and disappeared into the shadows. Cao Miao was just about to chase after him, when footsteps sounded, Sun Tai walked over, bowed his hand, and before he could speak, he burped first.

Cao Miao glanced at Sun Tai, sniffed, and smelled a strong smell of wine. "Drinking again?"

Sun Tai touched his nose and said with a wry smile: "The prince invited, I don't dare not go." ”

"Prince?" Cao Miao frowned. Sun Tai is also too sluggish, and at this time he is still close to the prince? "If you want to live a few more years, stay away from him." After speaking, Cao Miao flicked his sleeves, threw down the confused Sun Tai, and walked away.

Sun Tai looked dazed, touched his head, and was at a loss.

Back in the cabin, Cao Miao prepared to wash.

Ah Hu was busy before and after. Without knowledge and picturesqueness, he has to do all these chores. In the past, when he was in the Yongqiu Palace, these things were done with green peaches and red apricots, and later there were books and picturesques to do, and he was dedicated to practicing martial arts and rarely cared about these things. Now it's suddenly going to be done, and it's a bit of a scramble.

Cao Miao was a little uneasy. Speaking of which, Ah Hu is his cousin, and it is not suitable to be used as a servant.

But on the ship, he couldn't find someone else to replace him, and he couldn't always be equal to master and servant, so that people could see the flaws.

I should have called Shi Caiying over just now and asked her to wait. Thinking of Shi Caiying's imminent expression, Cao Miao was very unhappy.

As soon as he thought of this, there was a sound of footsteps outside, stopping in front of the hatch. Cao Miao immediately glanced at Ah Hu, and Ah Hu also raised his vigilance and stopped the movements in his hand. Immediately after, there was a knock on the door, and a timid voice was heard.

"Palace maid Roland, after serving the queen, wait for Cao Jun to live."

Cao Miao was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly. The lady's reaction at this step is really fast, there is no waste of opportunity at all, it is to give clothes, and it is to give palace maids, this is the rhythm of branding and declaring ownership.

Cao Miao got up and opened the door herself. Outside the door stood a little palace maid about thirteen or fourteen years old, with a small round face, handsome and cute, but her body was still growing, she was a half-grown child. Dressed in plain palace clothes, he held a food table in his hand and a few plates.

"Miao He De, how can he be re-gifted by the queen." Cao Miao arched her hand in the direction of Mrs. Bu's cabin, and politely led Roland into the cabin.

Although Roland is not old, he is very clever. After a glance around, he knew the current situation, put down the food table in his hand, and took the initiative to clean it up, his movements were clever, and Ah Hu couldn't intervene at all.

After a while, the cabin was neatly tied, and Roland went out of the cabin again, and soon came with two waiters, one carrying two large buckets of hot water, and the other holding basins and cloth towels and other toiletries. Judging from the costumes, these two people are also the waiters beside Mrs. Bu.

Cao Miao knew Mrs. Bu's thoughts, and she didn't refuse, but just asked Ah Hu to take some money as a reward. The two thanked them and left with a smile. They are so grateful, not necessarily because of money, but because they know Cao Miao's identity and intend to be courteous.

With Roland, Ah Hu is a lot easier. Seeing that he had nothing to do with himself, he went outside and lay down.

Cao Miao finished washing, but couldn't sleep. He lay on the bed, thinking about the words of Mrs. Cao and Shi Caiying, and the more he thought about it, the more helpless he became. He always felt that he could turn the tide, and now it seems that he is nothing more than the monkey singing in front of the stage. No matter how fierce he jumped, the rope around his neck was still in someone else's hand, not even more than a rope.

Cao Rong, Cao Zhi, Ah Hu's biological mother, and maybe others, he didn't know.

Everyone wanted to take advantage of him, but no one cared what he thought.

I'm a tool guy. Cao Miao scolded hatefully and covered the quilt.

——

Luoyang.

Cao Rong sat on the steps, his legs apart, revealing two skinny legs, trembling uncontrollably.

Liu Ci, the school officer, was lying at the foot of the steps, shivering, his forehead had been broken, and the blue bricks were stained with blood.

"Rubbish! A bunch of rubbish! The more Cao Rong looked at it, the more angry he became, and he raised his leg and kicked Liu Ci down. Get lost! Get as far away as possible, and don't let me see you again! Give you another half a month, and if you can't find the murderer, you will be blamed. ”

Liu Ci was like an amnesty, and he crawled with a roll, like a dog, and ran away with his tail between his legs.

"Ward off evil spirits, why did I believe in these wastes?"

He smiled bitterly to ward off evil spirits, but he didn't dare to answer. Within three years, two princes died in succession, and Cao Rong was in a rage, no matter how he said it. He now suspects that the prince Cao Mu did not die young, but was murdered, and it is not easy to ask Liu Ci to find the murderer.

The prince is not an ordinary person, he is under strict protection, and there are only a few people who can get close to the prince, who have been tortured and interrogated by Liu Ci to half death, but someone has confessed, but it is all tortured into a trick, except for wasting manpower and material resources, it has no practical significance.

Not to mention half a month, even if it is half a year, Liu Ci can't find anything.

Cao Rong obviously knew this, and after a fire, he fell into deep thought.

Lately, he has been doing this a lot, and sometimes he even wanders away during court discussions.

Footsteps sounded, Cao Shuang hurriedly walked in, and when he saw Cao Ei's appearance, he subconsciously stopped and stood in the distance, neither advancing nor retreating. Seeing it clearly, he coughed lightly.

Cao Rong woke up in shock, looked up and saw Cao Shuang, and couldn't help frowning. He's been a little annoyed with Cao Shuang lately. Steady enough, but not clever enough, in other words, not smart enough to solve practical problems. Compared to Cao Miao, he is simply a waste.

Thinking of Cao Miao, Cao Ei's mood became even more complicated. Cao Miao crossed the river for half a year and successfully prevented Sun Quan from becoming emperor, which triggered internal strife among Jiangdong monarchs and ministers, and now there is a tendency to expand. If nothing else, the possibility of Sun Quan becoming emperor within the year is almost non-existent. But Cao Miao didn't listen to the command, made his own opinions, and was even a little unscrupulous, which also gave Cao Ei a headache.

He didn't know what tricks Cao Miao would come up with, and the next news would be auspicious or vicious, whether it would make him excited or depressed.

Cao Rong beckoned, called Cao Shuang to him, glanced at him, and said gloomily: "What's the matter?" ”
