Xiahou Hui put down the letter and subconsciously twisted his fingers, as if a thick layer of blood was sticking to his fingertips.

Princess Deyang and Xiahou Yan looked at her anxiously, not even daring to breathe.

After receiving Cao Miao's letter, they were at a loss, and in desperation, they had to call Xiahou Hui over. In their opinion, to deal with such a thing, Xiahou Hui is the most suitable person, more reliable than Xiahou Xuan. If there is only one person who can solve this problem, it must be Xiahou Hui.

Seeing Xiahou Hui's solemn expression, they were also uneasy.

"I told you not to get too close to him." Xiahou Hui sighed softly and looked around. "Not only did you not listen, but you have been living here and guarding the gates for him. Now you know, his portal is not so easy to keep. ”

Princess Deyang bowed her head in shame. In fact, she regretted it too. Knowing this, she shouldn't have coveted the tranquility and food of this villa in the first place, and from visiting every other day, she became a permanent resident, which caused her to have a close relationship with Cao Miao, and there were even rumors that she planned to marry Xiahou Yan to Cao Miao.

But at this point, what's the use of regretting?

Xiahou Yan said unconvinced: "This was given to me by my brother." I'm not guarding him, I'm guarding myself. ”

Xiahou Hui glanced at Xiahou Yan. "He gave you the villa, but not for nothing. Not only is it not given away for nothing, but it also has to make a lot of money. ”

Xiahou Yan suddenly blushed, squeaked and couldn't speak.

Princess Deyang persuaded: "Yuanrong, don't talk about this, what's the use?" Or think about how to solve this problem. ”

"I'm afraid there is no solution." Xiahou Hui looked at the letter on the case and sneered: "He hid in Jiangdong, but he set a fire in Luoyang. If you don't get it right, we will all be burned by him. In my opinion, the best solution is to send someone to kill him. ”

"It's a pity that no one can do that, right?" Xiahou Yan pursed his lips with a look of disdain. "Brother proves with martial arts, who can kill him? Even if it's to send a large army to conquer? I can't cross the river, and I can't say that I have to fold a hussar general or something. ”

"Ah Yan!" Xiahou Hui's face changed and he snorted.

Princess Deyang also glared at Xiahou Yan. Xiahou Yan was aggrieved? Tears swirling in your eyes? but refused to admit defeat. "You just resent Brother for ruining the future of Sima and his son? Hell-bent on letting him die. But what is he doing it for? It's not for the sake of the Great Wei Jiangshan. If it weren't for him, would my brother be able to abandon the virtual to the real and become a farmer in Luoyang? In your eyes? It's just Sima's? There is no Xiahou clan. ”

After speaking, Xiahou Yan got up and left the table, hiding his face and leaving? Tears spilled all over the ground.

Princess Deyang sighed? Bite one's tongue.

Xiahou Hui was stunned? The face is red for a while and white for a while. How many times did she want to get up and leave? But look at Princess Deyang's helpless eyes? I can't bear it. And if she won't help? Princess Deyang could only go to Xiahou Xuan. Once this matter was reported to Xiahou Xuan's ears, the matter went from the back room to the front hall, and it was difficult to cover it up.

"Mother, do you remember what happened back then?"

Princess Deyang shook her head and sighed, "I really can't remember." The autumn of the ninth year of Jian'an? Emperor Wu conquered Yecheng? At that time, your father was in the army? Are we still in Xu County? Not in Yecheng. Jian'an moved to Yecheng one after another for ten years, and Emperor Wu went to the east and west, and the time in Yecheng was very short? The crown prince is guarding Ye, the situation is uneasy, and we have no chance to enter the palace, who would have thought that there would be such a thing. ”

"When Jian'an is ten years old, who can see Empress Wenzhao?"

Princess Deyang licked her lips. "Others, I really don't know. There was one person she had certainly seen. ”

Xiahou Hui's eyes flashed slightly. "The Empress Dowager?"

Princess Deyang nodded, but did not speak. Xiahou Hui looked at her, his eyebrows gradually furrowed.

"Have you asked the Empress Dowager?"

"I didn't ask. The Empress Dowager is nearly seventy years old, lacks energy, and has not seen guests for a long time. During the New Year's holidays, although we were able to visit the palace, we did not have the opportunity to be alone. Besides, after Emperor Wen ascended the throne, there was a clear edict prohibiting the harem from interfering in politics. If anyone knows that he has inquired about His Majesty's affairs in private, I am afraid that ......"

Princess Deyang didn't say any more, but there was fear in her eyes.

Xiahou Hui's eyes rolled, his mood became heavier and heavier, and the more he thought about it, the more scared he became. Judging from all kinds of signs, Cao Miao's conjecture is not groundless. There were rumors that the Son of Heaven was the bloodline of the Yuan family, and there were rumors before, but there was no basis, and few people believed it. Now that a Yuan Song has emerged, it is related to the hidden bo sent by the Son of Heaven, and the situation is very different.

If the Son of Heaven is really the bloodline of the Yuan family, and the Wu people have the evidence, this is undoubtedly a catastrophe for the Great Wei.

Even if she wants to cover up the matter, can Wu Ren agree?

If the Son of Heaven is really Yuan Ei, can he trust the Cao family and the Xiahou family? When no one knows about this, he can also pretend to be the Cao clan and continue to reuse the Cao clan, the Xiahou clan, and especially the distant branches like Xiahou Xuan. What would he do if there was a chance that this truth would be leaked?

The biggest possibility is to strike first, get rid of the Cao family and the Xiahou family, and reach a compromise with the family.

The fourth and third dukes of the Yuan family have much more appeal to the family than the Cao family. As long as the Son of Heaven is willing to surrender his interests, the family may not be unwilling to pretend to be deaf and dumb, or even cooperate secretly. For them, it may be more in their interests for the Yuan family to replace the Cao family to win the world.

This may be the reason why Cao Miao decided to go to sea instead of returning to Luoyang.

Cao Miao can go to sea, what about others?

Xiahou Hui was distraught. As smart as she is, she is helpless in the face of such a predicament.

The only solution is to prove that the Son of Heaven is the bloodline of the Cao family, and Cao Miao's worries are in vain.

This matter is obviously not easy, and ...... Seems unlikely.

Cao Miao's speculation has witnesses, physical evidence, and a relatively strict logical basis. Most of the people who can prove that the Son of Heaven is the bloodline of the Cao family have passed away, and the only person who knows the truth of the year is the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager is in the deep palace, and ordinary people can't see him at all.

Even if she can prove it, it will be difficult to get Cao Miao's approval. It is entirely possible that Cao Miao thought that the Empress Dowager was under house arrest, that her testimony was false, and that she was coerced into giving false testimony.

As for the Wu people, they will not believe it, they are happy to be in chaos in the Wei Kingdom, or they are holding this handle to blackmail the Son of Heaven.

Xiahou Hui pondered for a long time, and suddenly his heart moved. The Son of Heaven has no heir, if he can be allowed to establish the children of the Cao family as the heir, to ensure that the throne is inherited in the Cao bloodline and will not be left behind, what is the difference between the surname of the Son of Heaven and the surname Yuan?

But how?

Although the Son of Heaven has two sons in a row, he is still young, so at this time, let him give up hope and make other people's sons his heirs, can he agree?

Or, you can force him to comply. As long as the bloodlines of Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang can be prevented from entering the court, the Son of Heaven has nothing to do but make the children of the Cao family his heirs.

Xiahou Hui weighed it for a long time, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was a way, and it was almost the only feasible way.

"Mother, I'm going to write a letter to Yunliang."
