Chapter 138: Princess Qinghe

Cao Miao just scared Xiahou Xuan, he didn't really go to Princess Deyang's mansion.

He carried a large amount of captured booty with him, and naturally he had to send it home first. If you take it to Princess Deyang's Mansion and expose it white, you will have to cut some meat. You can't always treat Princess Deyang as your own mother, but you can't pull out any benefits when you have benefits.

The gift must be given, but that is the result of his choice, and Princess Deyang will not see the specific amount of the loot, and there will be no psychological gap.

It must be said that the amount of this loot is not small. I don't know if it was for running for office, or for what reason, Wang Ji carried a terrifying amount of property, with a total of more than 10 million. Cao Miao divided it in half, and roughly estimated, there were five or six million.

If Princess Deyang sees this, she will have to send a million, and she won't be able to take it if she doesn't do it.

But for Cao Miao, he can't be so generous at the moment. There are too many places for him to use the money. Even Wang Ji has thirty or forty subordinates and attendants, but there are only dozens of old, weak, sick and disabled people in Yongqiu Palace, which is too shabby.

So, now is not the time to scatter coins, so you have to save some flowers.

Cao Miao went around in a circle and entered the city from Jianchun Gate, but did not go to Princess Deyang's Mansion, but came to Princess Qinghe's Mansion. Compared with Princess Deyang's Mansion, Princess Qinghe's Mansion has more faces, almost half a mile, and the gate is open to the street, which is more convenient to avoid people's eyes and ears without entering and exiting through the inner door.

After Cao Miao entered the city, he sent Ah Hu to take the first step and rushed to Princess Qinghe's mansion to report. When Cao Miao himself arrived, there were already people waiting at the side door, leading Cao Miao directly to the back house. Xiahou Mao was waiting in the hall, his face was ruddy, and his eyes were bright.

"Uncle." Cao Miao stepped forward to salute.

Xiahou Mao hurriedly walked down the hall, held Cao Miao's arm, and asked in a somewhat eager whisper: "Yunliang, do you really have to abstain from sex for 100 days to be effective?" ”

Cao Miao glanced at Xiahou Mao in surprise. "Uncle, you look good, it should have been effective."

"I'm not saying it doesn't work." Xiahou Mao looked at the courtyard gate uneasily. "I mean, do you have to abstain from sex for 100 days, a few days ......?"

Cao Miao understood, pointed at Xiahou Mao, laughed evilly, hugged his fists and said, "Congratulations to Uncle Xi, congratulations to Uncle Congratulations." ”

"He's hee, what?" With a clear sound of ringing, a noble lady who was nearly half a hundred years old walked in. She held a high bun, with a golden step on the bun, a yellow forehead, a brocade, jade bracelets on both wrists, and different styles of jade around her waist. Behind him were four maids in brocade clothes, all of whom were tall and outstanding, but their expressions were cold and looked unapproachable.

Cao Miao understood that this was his aunt, Princess Qinghe. Although she hasn't seen her for more than ten years, Princess Qinghe's face has inevitably left traces of time, and she can still vaguely see the shadow of that year.

"Uncle, which sister is this?" Cao Miao was stunned, and her eyes lit up. "It's so pretty."

"Sister?" Xiahou Mao looked confused. The lady was also stunned, walked up to Cao Miao, kept a distance, and looked at Cao Miao suspiciously. "Yunliang, are you too tired?"

"I'm not tired." Cao Miao's eyes were sincere. "Is my sister coming back to save her relatives? Forgive me for being stupid, I haven't seen you for many years, and I've forgotten my sister's name. ”

Xiahou Mao and Princess Qinghe reacted at this time, and Cao Miao regarded Princess Qinghe as one of their daughters. Princess Qinghe laughed "poof", stepped forward, reached out to pinch Cao Miao's nose, and shook it gently. "Little shaft, why didn't you know your mouth was so sweet before? What sister, I am your aunt. ”

"Really?" Cao Miao's eyes widened, with a look of disbelief. "Auntie, are you cultivating immortals? I haven't seen age for more than ten years. ”

"Really?" Princess Qinghe smiled even brighter, reaching out to caress her face.

"Oh, can this be fake? Sisters, you say, is the princess the same as it was ten years ago? Cao Miao turned to the four beautiful maids behind Princess Qinghe, and said seriously, her tone was innocent, and her eyes were like a young man who was just beginning to fall in love, secretly sweeping the chests of the beautiful maids.

The four beautiful maids looked at each other, and they didn't know whether Cao Miao was really blind or pretending to be blind, but they couldn't tell the truth, so they had to nod their heads in agreement. When Princess Qinghe heard this, she was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth, took Cao Miao's arm, and pulled him to the hall to take a seat.

"Little Zhuzi, do you complain that your aunt didn't go to see you, and make your aunt happy as soon as you meet." Princess Qinghe sighed, and the smile on her face dissipated. "Over the years, I've worked hard for you, especially you. My aunt can't help herself and can't take care of you, so don't complain about your aunt. Who made my aunt a woman? The first emperor had an edict, the harem was not allowed to interfere in politics, and even the empress dowager could not participate in political affairs, and the princess of her aunt was even more useless. ”

Cao Miao hurriedly shook his hand. "Auntie can't say that. I heard Yungong say that over the years, my aunt still has our father and son in her heart. In the fourth year of Huang Chu, if it wasn't for my aunt's help, I am afraid that my father has been killed by Wang Ji, and I am a patient, I am afraid that I will not live long. ”

He said it very easily, with a smile on his face, but tears poured out and slid down his face, and the forced smile of the rest of his life after the catastrophe couldn't help but move even if the hard-hearted people saw it.

Princess Qinghe remembered the old thing, and couldn't help but burst into tears, hugged Cao Miao tightly, patted Cao Miao's shoulder, and couldn't cry. "Alright, alright, that's all over. Yunliang, after your father and son returned to Beijing this time, Your Majesty has been very important to your father, and your father has presided over the court meetings for several days. Your father argued with reason, and there was a reason, but he showed his face. ”

Cao Miao frowned secretly. Cao Zhi presided over the court meeting and argued with the minister? This is not showing his face, this is blocking the sword for the emperor.

He didn't want to continue the topic, and immediately changed to a bright smile. "Auntie, I have good news for you, I killed Wang Ji."

"You killed Wang Ji?" Princess Qinghe was stunned. "Yunliang, what's going on? I heard about your assassination in Luoshui a few days ago, what's the matter, this is related to Wang Ji? ”

Cao Miao nodded, explained the general situation, and then took out Wang Ji's skull and placed it in front of Princess Qinghe like a treasure.

"This is the skull of Wang Ji."

Seeing Bai Sensen's skull, Xiahou Mao and Princess Qinghe were stunned for a moment, and then glanced at each other in unison. Xiahou Mao asked cautiously: "Yunliang, you are chasing Wang Ji, does anyone else know?" ”

"Yes, Taichu knows, and there is also a school lieutenant named Yin Mo who also knows."

"School affairs?" Xiahou Mao's brows furrowed even tighter. "So, acting on the edict of His Majesty? Have you seen the edict? ”

"It's an edict from the school, and I haven't seen the edict."

Xiahou Mao stroked his beard and groaned silently. Princess Qinghe thought for a moment and asked, "Who else knows about this besides them?" ”

"A couple of rangers."

"Let them hide." Princess Qinghe said: "Before the results are announced by the imperial court, or confirmed by His Majesty himself, let them not show their faces, so as not to be found." ”

Cao Miao secretly rejoiced. It seems that Princess Qinghe really cares about their father and son, and immediately smelled the danger inside and reminded him to pay attention. I came to her right place this time. Princess Deyang can't bear the responsibility for this matter, only Princess Qinghe can bear it.

"Auntie, can I ask you one thing?"

"What's the matter?"

"When did you first see Your Majesty?"
