Cao Miao was shocked.

Cao Zhi's defeat was not accidental, but inevitable?

Cao Cao killed Cui Yan to force the family to bow their heads?

According to this, Mrs. Cui was killed, not because she was dressed incorrectly, but because Qinghe Cui's family refused to support Cao Zhi, and Cao Cao wanted to force Cui Yan to bow his head?

Although Cao Miao wanted to hear Cao Zhi talk about the events of the year in detail, at this moment, he was not allowed to listen to it. His face changed and he walked away.

After taking two steps, he turned back again, stared at Cao Zhi's eyes, and said word by word: "I killed Wang Tai and Han Dong last night, you wait for the edict of condemnation." As he spoke, he threw up his sleeves, laughed maniacally, and walked out of the garden.

Cao Zhi heard Cao Miao's laughter was wrong, and rushed to the garden, but saw Cao Zhi standing alone by the pavilion, and immediately became anxious. "Father, brother, he ......"

Cao Zhi's face turned pale, and he reached out to grab Cao Zhi, who wanted to chase Cao Miao. "Yungong, you immediately bring ten guards to surround the small courtyard and protect your brother. No matter who asks, just say that last night, your brother was not in good health, used too many tranquilizers, and had been sleeping in the courtyard and never went out. ”

"Brother, he ......"

"Don't ask, go quickly." Cao Zhi waved his hand, interrupting Cao Zhi's question, and said sharply.

Cao Zhi didn't dare to slack off, and rushed away.

Cao Zhi turned back and forth twice, stomped his foot, and also turned around and went out.

Not long after Cao Miao returned to the small courtyard, Cao Zhi chased after him, his face was red in a hurry, and he wanted to ask several times, but when he saw Cao Miao's angry face, he had to hide the questions in his heart, called Ah Hu, Qingtao and others, and ordered relevant matters, especially a unified voice.

Qingtao and Ah Hu knew it and agreed. Ah Hu went to gather the guards, and Qingtao went to prepare the medicine. Cao Miao has been ill for many years and often has seizures, and the medicine to calm the nerves is always available, as long as it is too late to decoction the decoction, it can only be replaced by pills.

Hongxing didn't know anything, she just responded blankly, and she did whatever Qingtao asked her to do.

Cao Miao is the most idle, sitting alone under the corridor in a daze, playing the role of a patient who overdoses and is delirious.

Just under Cao Miao's attention, Qingtao walked up to Cao Zhi and said a few words to Cao Zhi. Cao Zhi was a little embarrassed, but he still nodded in response.

As soon as the ten guards arrived under the leadership of Lao Song, Cao Zhi ordered them to tie up the green peach, and took it upon himself to whip the green peach more than a dozen times. While smoking, he scolded loudly, to the effect that Qingtao was careless and made a mistake in the dosage when serving Cao Miao to take the medicine, so that Cao Miao fell asleep all night and almost couldn't wake up.

Cao Zhi usually looks like a gentle and weak person, but those few whips are real, and the clothes on Qingtao's body were torn in response, and he was soon whipped open and bloody.

Qingtao cried and begged for mercy, heartbreaking, and the old and young guards guarding outside the door were a little unbearable, but no one dared to persuade them.

Cao Miao couldn't help but be speechless when she heard it. Is it necessary to fight so hard?

When he scared Cao Zhi, he really didn't expect things to come to this point, and there was no reason to stop it. However, he also knew that this was Qingtao's initiative and could not be persuaded. I can't see that this girl is not very old, but she is a ruthless person, this is a bitter trick and a vote.

The small courtyard is separated from the courtyard where the anti-auxiliary officers are stationed, and the movement here quickly alarmed the anti-auxiliary officers, and the "original situation" of the matter also reached the ears of the anti-auxiliary officials through Cao Zhi's reprimand and Qingtao's begging for mercy. There was a probe from the anti-auxiliary officer, and saw Cao Miao sitting under the porch against the pillar, motionless, it was indeed like he had taken too much tranquilizer and was delirious, and he had no doubts.

Among the countless faces, Cao Miao saw Han Dong's puzzled face flash.

There was a lot of noise in the small courtyard, but it was very quiet in the palace. Wang Tai, the prisoner of the country, never appeared, and the anti-auxiliary officials watched the excitement for a while, and then dispersed. For them, whether it is Cao Miao or Qingtao, life or death has nothing to do with them.

Cao Zhi asked Hongxing to give Qingtao a dressing, but Qingtao refused, gritted her teeth, let the wound bleed, and knelt outside the door for a long time until she fainted from the sun, and then Cao Zhi arranged for someone to carry her back to the house, and Hongxing treated the wound.

In the evening, Qingtao woke up, and saw Cao Miao sitting on the edge of the bed for the first time, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he said softly: "The prince shouldn't be here, if someone finds out, the maid will be beaten in vain." ”

Cao Miao took her hand and patted it gently. "It's guarded outside, and no one can come in. Yingzi, you don't really have to do this. ”

Hearing Cao Miao call her by her name, Qingtao's eyes flashed with a hint of brilliance, and then dimmed again. "Although it hurts to take a few whips, it is better than showing the head of the owl to the public. Since the servant has decided to follow the prince, she is not afraid of anything, and is willing to go to the soup for the prince and die without turning his heels. ”

Cao Miao smiled. These words sound like Liangzhou people. Those flowers and grasses are not for you. ”

Qingtao lowered her head. "At that time, the atmosphere was like this, and my family was no exception, but I didn't expect those celebrities who read poetry and books to kill people more ruthlessly. Prince, you must be careful when you meet these people in the future. This step is taken, but it is killing step by step, and it is careless. ”

Cao Miao smiled, pondered for a moment, and roughly explained what happened last night. Qingtao showed his loyalty, and he also released a little kindness. What's more, he needs Qingtao's staff officer, and it is inevitable that there will be mistakes when thinking about things alone, not to mention that he is still a time-traveler, and his understanding of this era is very limited. When I met Cao Zhi just now, I had to leave the stage because of insufficient preparation, and only half of the play was performed.

It's just that he didn't tell what happened, and hid some key details.

Qingtao's loyalty can be trusted for the time being, but what kind of ability it is, but it still needs to be tested. No matter how she said it, she was just a fifteen-year-old girl, who had spent nearly half of her life in this small courtyard, had experienced limited things, and had a lot to learn.

Seeing Cao Miao tell the confidential matter, Qingtao was very excited. She closed her eyes and thought for a while, and when she opened them again, there was a strange look in her eyes, and her face flushed with excitement.

"The prince's plan is good, but I'm afraid the effect will be limited. Wang Tai has no face, and he has a handle in Han Dong's hands, so he has only one choice, to join forces with Han Dong in order to recover his confession and maintain his reputation. ”

"Will Wang Tai bow to Han Dong?"

Qingtao sneered: "Wang Tai really wants to have integrity, how can he expect to ascend to Qingyun by framing the king." In the face of life and death, integrity is even less important. If he could make Han Dong happy and take back that confession, what could he not do. ”

Cao Miao smiled slightly. "However, Han Dong did not have that confession at all."

Qingtao was stunned for a moment, and then said happily: "The confession is in the hands of the prince?" ”

Cao Miao nodded, took out the confession written by Wang Tai from his sleeve, and shook it in front of Qingtao.

Qingtao took it, looked at it again, and laughed silently. "If that's the case, Wang Tai has only one way, kill Han Dong and kill him, and then frame the king or prince." She paused, then suddenly tightened up, and her eyes showed unease. "Prince, you must be careful, then Han Dong is a vicious dog. He fights Wang Tai, but it is very possible to bite the prince. ”

Cao Miao was very satisfied. Thinking of this layer, Qingtao's performance has exceeded his expectations. He patted Qingtao's hand.

"Take care of your injuries."
