Spring is gone in a hurry, and in a blink of an eye, it is the height of summer.

This summer, the heat in the air is almost suffocating, even if you stay in the shade of the trees, you can feel out of breath, and you know that the deep forest is chirping over and over again, and the high-pitched tone makes people feel upset.

Bai Lingyun wore a very thin crescent white Luo shirt, sitting in the gazebo to rest, since giving birth, Bai Lingyun's figure is slightly fat, more plump and moving, but she is most afraid of the heat, but this day is terrible poison, there is no wind, no clouds, everything around seems to be about to be melted by the sun, the two maids behind him fan with all their might, their faces are full of sweat.

"Madam, the sour plum soup that has just been iced, you can use it slowly." A maid put a large bowl of iced sour plum soup on the table in front of Bai Lingyun.

On this hot dog day, being able to drink a bowl of chilled sour plum soup can be said to be the most luxurious enjoyment. After all, on such a hot day, ice is the rarest thing, and only the top wealthy families will have ice cellars to store ice, and the Sima family has this heritage no matter how much they say.

Bai Lingyun took a sip, this sour plum soup was boiled just right, sweet and sour, refreshing and pleasant, and the summer feeling was completely gone.

"Send a bowl to the master." Bai Lingyun commanded the people.

These days, Sima Yi has been staying at home with illness and not going to court, but Bai Lingjun knows that Sima Yi is just pretending to be sick, not really sick.

Others pretend to be sick, that is, stay in the house and don't go out, they should eat, drink, and they won't disrupt the normal rhythm of life, but Sima Yi pretended to be sick, and it was no different from being really sick.

Sima Yi is very good at pretending to be sick, when he was young, in order to escape Cao Cao's conquest, he pretended to suffer from rheumatism, and lay on the couch for seven years.

This time, Sima Yi played an old man suffering from Alzheimer's disease, and he played a wonderful and wonderful role, in addition to the people around him, even many slaves and maids were concealed.

Sima Yi's caution is reasonable, Sima Mansion is so big, there are hundreds of people up and down, even if there are no hidden spies sent by Cao Shuang, it is inevitable that there will be many people talking and leaking the news, so even if it is in the mansion, Sima Yi will pretend to the end and not show the slightest flaw.

Hearing the lady's instructions, the maid took a bowl of iced sour plum soup and went to Sima Yi's room.

At this time, an uninvited guest suddenly came to Sima Mansion, Henan Yin Lisheng.

Li Sheng is Cao Shuang's confidant, and he is a person who Cao Shuang is extremely important, originally his relationship with Sima Yi was not harmonious, but at this time, he suddenly came to visit Sima Mansion, which naturally made people feel incredible.

Li Sheng came here for the reason of resigning to Taifu as the assassin of Jingzhou, but a discerning person could see at a glance that Li Sheng came here to test Sima Yi's real illness or pretend to be sick.

Sima Yi said that he was sick, which made Cao Shuang secretly suspicious, after all, Sima Yi had a history of pretending to be sick, and Cao Shuang couldn't figure out whether it was a real illness or a fake illness this time.

If Sima Yi is really sick, at his age, he should be in the ground, not enough to be troubled, if he pretends to be sick and secretly obscure, then Cao Shuang has to take precautions, and sending Li Sheng at this time has the intention of testing Sima Yi.

Li Sheng came to Sima Yi's room, and he specially made a surprise attack this time, so that the people of the Sima family were completely defenseless, so that he could find out whether Sima Yi was really sick or fake.

However, entering Sima Yi's room, Li Sheng couldn't help frowning secretly, on a hot day, the window of Sima Yi's room was actually closed, with a disgusting smell, sour and smelly, how long should it be since he took a bath?

Li Sheng secretly covered his nose, but he still didn't hope for his mission, he held back, and when he stepped forward, Sima Yi was still covered with a thick quilt, lying there and sleeping, snoring like thunder.

Steward Hou, who accompanied Li Sheng in, stepped forward to wake up Sima Yi, but Li Sheng stopped: "Don't disturb the Taifu's rest, just wait here below." ”

Li Sheng is a shrewd person, knowing that people can pretend to be awake and sleep when they are sleeping, but it is easiest to find out the truth, especially when they are talking in their dreams, they are telling the truth.

So Li Sheng didn't let the housekeeper wake up Sima Yi, just to see what Sima Yi behaved after falling asleep, and whether it was for outsiders to speculate that Sima Yi was pretending to be sick at home.

Sima Yi slept very deeply, not only snoring loudly, but also a few words of dreams from time to time, but the voice was indistinct, Li Sheng pricked up his ears, and he didn't hear what Sima Yi said clearly.

After a long time, Sima Yi woke up slowly, and the housekeeper immediately stepped forward and said, "Master, a guest has come to visit." ”

Sima Yi rolled his eyes sluggishly, and his gaze fell on Li Sheng's body.

Li Sheng immediately stepped forward and bowed his hand and said, "Xiaguan Li Sheng, meet Mrs. Sima." ”

Sima Yi sighed, two slaves and maids stepped forward to help him up, Sima Yi's eyes were dull, his hands and feet were stiff, he went to get his clothes, he shivered a few times and didn't hold them steady, the clothes fell to the ground, and finally the slaves and maids picked up the clothes before they dressed him.

"Old age and incompetence made Gong Zhao smile."

Li Sheng secretly looked at Sima Yi, and really didn't find anything fake about him, it was completely the normal reaction of an old man in his old age, Li Sheng couldn't help but sigh: "I originally thought that Sima Taifu was a recurrence of an old disease, but I didn't expect that the illness was so serious, it stands to reason that the imperial doctor should take a look." ”

Sima Yi coughed a few times and said, "The old man is already terminally ill and blind, and the gods are difficult to save him." Come, fetch water, a certain thirst. ”

The steward said: "Madame just sent someone to bring iced sour plum soup, do you want to use it?" ”

"Good." Sima Yi nodded in agreement, and the steward immediately brought the sour plum soup up, and a maid took a spoon to feed Sima Yi.

Sima Yi didn't have to use his hands, he only had to open his mouth, but this seemingly simple action, Sima Yi was very difficult to complete, when the soup spoon was fed to his mouth, it was very difficult to swallow, the soup was sprinkled on Sima Yi's placket, and it was wet with a large piece, which frightened the maid to lose her face, knelt on the ground, and said in a loud voice: "Slave damn, slave damn!" ”

Sima Yi didn't blame the maid, but waved his hand, signaling the maid to retreat, and then said to Li Sheng with a wry smile: "It's old, it's useless." ”
