Chapter 29: Cao Jie's "Last Wish"
The sword in Cao Cao's hand was still dripping blood, and he staggered around, wanting to go to the quiet room to see his daughter for the last time.
Sun Langzhong hurriedly rushed over to stop him and persuaded: "Envoy, that miasma disease is very easy to spread to others, you are in danger of hundreds of thousands of people in Yanzhou, you can't go in." β
"Get out of here!" Cao Cao roared angrily and pushed Sun Langzhong away.
At this moment, I suddenly heard an old cry from behind the crowd: "Jie'er, return my Jie'er......"
When everyone heard this sound, they automatically lowered their heads and dodged a passage, only to see the gray-haired Cao Song with tears on his face, holding a cane, stumbling over, and the two maids behind him wanted to help him, but they were pushed away by him.
Originally, Mrs. Ding knew that her father-in-law was old, and she was afraid that he would not be able to accept the bad news, so she ordered someone to deliberately hide it from Cao Song.
It's just that she forgot that Cao Jie is different from these adult grandchildren such as Cao Ang and Cao Pi, and these grandchildren don't have to ask their eldest father every day when they have something.
But what can a lady in Cao Jie do?
In the past few months since Cao Song arrived, she went to greet her eldest father every morning, talked with her eldest father, and was coquettish.
Old people, they all like to live a life of teasing their grandchildren.
Compared with other granddaughters trembling in front of Cao Song's eldest father, they didn't dare to say much, and only Cao Jie dared to laugh in front of him, the more so, the more he doted on this third granddaughter.
After all, he is a person who has been a captain of the court, is there still a lack of people who are submissive in front of him?
He was used to Cao Jie being by his side all the time, but he suddenly didn't come today, he couldn't help but have doubts, so he sent someone out to inquire, only to know that Cao Jie was actually grounded by Mrs. Bian, so he couldn't come.
When Cao Song heard this, he was immediately furious, a concubine's room, dare to ban his feet, is Cao Mansion going to turn the sky upside down?
was about to send someone to call Mrs. Ding over to reprimand her and ask her how she managed this family, when the news came again that Cao Jie was dying.
Cao Song couldn't sit still anymore, so he picked up his crutches and came directly.
He glanced at Mrs. Bian, who was kneeling on the ground, her arm was bleeding, and couldn't help but say, picked up his cane and hit Mrs. Bian on the shoulder, and shouted angrily: "What are you?" Dare to ground me in the festival, you will return my festival......"
The Cao Pi brothers hurriedly knelt in front of the eldest father and stopped the eldest father's crutches.
Mrs. Bian, who was beaten with a cane, sat on the ground aggrievedly and cried bitterly, she was selfish, but the grounding was an order given by the master, Cao Jie's death was because of the miasma, and there was no medicine to cure it?
However, why does everyone seem to be angry with Cao Jie's death on themselves now?
It's too your own.
Cao Song, Cao Cao, Cao Ang, and Liu Ping did not listen to Sun Langzhong's advice, and resolutely entered the quiet room, and they wanted to see Cao Jie for the last time.
Looking at Cao Jie, who was lying on the bed with a face like gold paper, most of his life had gone, and there was only one breath left, Liu Ping felt extremely uncomfortable.
In fact, he could feel Cao Jie's good impression of him.
And this little girl is smart, and cute, and good-looking, although she loves to make a little petty, but she tries her best to help herself, and when she came, I heard that the reason why she was grounded was because of the false rumor that her father ordered her to pick mulberry leaves for herself.
This kind of friendship is indeed too rare, if it weren't for her young age, Liu Ping would have accepted it calmly.
But he doesn't accept it now, it doesn't mean that he doesn't like Cao Jie, he feels that when this little girl is a few years older, sooner or later he won't be able to escape from the palm of his hand.
But I never expected that the little Lori cultivation plan was about to die before it started.
Although he knew that the disease of miasma was the malaria of later generations, and the artemisinin extracted by a lady in later generations was the cure for malaria.
Although he understood that artemisinin was not taken from Artemisia annua, but from the stems and leaves of a species called Artemisia annua.
However, if you think about it with your toes, you can understand that the extraction process must be complicated, requiring extremely sophisticated medical knowledge and complex medical equipment.
Liu Ping is a liberal arts student, he has never been in contact with medicine, and in this post-Han era, it is a fool's dream to extract artemisinin.
Could it be that this little girl is really hopeless?
At this time, Cao Song sat on the edge of the bed, stroking his granddaughter's hair, crying old tears, but he didn't expect that he hadn't seen him for a day, and he was separated from his granddaughter by yin and yang, making him, a white-haired person, send a black-haired person.
He asked Ling'er, who was kneeling in front of the bed, in a trembling voice: "Jie'er...... Have you had any unfulfilled wishes before?
If there is, even if the old man fights for this old life, he will complete it for her, so that she can be blinded under Jiuquan......"
"Miss...... When the young lady was unconscious last night, she kept muttering...... The name of Ping Gongzi, and the ...... of the Silkworm Room," Ling'er cried.
Liu Ping was even more distressed when she heard this, and the tears swirling in her eyes finally couldn't help falling, but she didn't expect her to be in a coma and chant her name.
"It's not strange to talk about Ping'er," Cao Song naturally knew his granddaughter's thoughts, but he was puzzled: "Where is this silkworm room?" β
Liu Ping sniffed and said: "At the beginning, in order to raise silkworms, I built a silkworm room in the house, and Jie'er used to teach people to read and write there, could it be that she said there?" β
Ling'er nodded and said, "That's exactly there, and Miss hasn't been to other silkworm rooms." β
She is always with Cao Jie, and Cao Jie naturally can't hide anything from her.
Cao Song pondered for a moment, sighed and said: "Then I'll be in charge, while Jie'er still has a breath, send her to Ping'er's silkworm room, so that she can smile at Jiuquan." β
Although her granddaughter can't marry Liu Ping alive, if she dies in Liu's mansion, she should be able to look away.
After Cao Song finished speaking, he glanced at Cao Cao.
Cao Cao was in turmoil at this time, and regretted the order to ground his daughter, at this time, his daughter's life was instantaneous, and what did it matter if she fulfilled her dying wish.
"Just listen to my father and send Jie'er to Ping'er."
Liu Ping didn't hear their conversation clearly at all, but he was thinking in his heart, even if artemisinin could not be extracted, then why not squeeze the artemisia water directly for her to drink.
Anyway, the artemisinin is all in it.
A dead horse is a live horse doctor, and it is better to try it than not to try.
At this time, Cao Ang said with red eyes: "Just let me send it." β
He bent down to pick up Cao Jie and strode out the door, not caring at all if the miasma disease would spread to him.
After they left, only Cao Cao's father and son were left in the quiet room, relatively silent.
Cao Song sighed and said: "It seems that Jie'er can't survive tonight, remember to tell the people in the mansion to burn more paper money for her in the first seven, don't let her be wronged over there." β
"I understand," Cao Cao replied expressionlessly.
