The prince was captured, and the palace gate of that day was covered with corpses, and the rain washed away the blood and flowed through the entire palace road. The people who came to the morning court the next day could still smell the smell of blood.

Dong Cheng's plan was exposed, and the accomplices were all punished by the law. When Dong Cheng and the others were dismissed, Cao Cao stood on the main hall and asked Liu Xie a word.

"Your Majesty, if there is no Cao Cao in the world, how many people should be called emperors and how many people should be kings?"

Liu Xie didn't answer, at this time, it didn't matter if the edict was dropped by his own hands, or what he said.

Because he can't fully trust Cao Cao, and Cao Cao is now having a hard time trusting him.

Sitting on the court seat without saying a word, a gentleman and a minister looked at each other for a while, Cao Cao turned around and left with a few people. There was silence in the main hall for a while, and soon there was a loud singing voice from a person outside.

"The wind is blowing and the clouds are flying. Weijia Hai returned to his hometown. Ande warriors are guarding the Quartet! ”

Over and over again, with great vigor until the human voice is far away and can no longer be heard.

After retiring from the court, Liu Xie sat on the court hall where no one was around, waved his hand, and asked the people on both sides to retreat.

Summoning the imperial doctor, make a bowl of reassuring and calming decoction and send it.

When the imperial doctor arrived, he saw Liu Xie sitting alone on the ground by the door of the main hall, looking at the open stone steps in front of the hall and the pavilion that was so high that he couldn't see the outside.

The imperial doctor walked to Liu Xie's side with the medicine, bowed down and presented the medicine to him.

"Your Majesty, please take medicine."

Liu Xie sat on the ground and stretched out his hand to take it, took a sip, and the taste of the medicine in his mouth was very astringent.

"It's so bitter..."

He whispered, asking the Imperial Doctor.

"Do you have sugar?"

The imperial doctor bowed and shook his head: "Your Majesty, the minister doesn't have it, do you want the minister to call someone to get some?" ”

"That's it."

As he spoke, Liu Xie slowly drank the decoction in the bowl and leaned against the door with his eyes closed.

"Stand down."

The Imperial Physician should be, bow his head and leave.

With her eyes closed, Liu Xie seemed to hear a person sitting next to her, and she asked.

"Do you want sugar?"

The corners of Liu Xie's mouth were slightly hooked: "Okay." ”

But the floors in the palace are so high that they cover his eyes, so that he can't even see anyone anymore.

······

In front of the door of a mansion, a man carrying two jugs of wine, raised his hand, and paused in front of the door for a moment before knocking on the door.

After a while, the door opened, and a woman stood inside.

"I've seen Miss Xiu'er." The man in front of the door bowed and saluted, paused and said.

"I wonder if Mr. Gu is here?"

"It turned out to be Mr. Guo." Diao Xiuer opened the door and invited Guo Jia in.

"Sir is in the hall."

There are not many people visiting this house, so the gentleman said that the visitors will just let them in.

Gu Nan was sitting in the hall looking at a book, Xuchang also opened a academy, it was not enough to rely on hand-copied books, Kong Rong was starting to print books with movable type.

She and Kong Rong had tried before, but the paper that could be made by Cai Lun in the Eastern Han Dynasty was not yet able to be printed.

Recently they tried a new kind of paper, which was improved by a person named Zuo Bo more than ten years ago, a kind of paper called Zuo Bo paper.

This kind of paper is enough for printing, but it will take a while to engrave the blocks, and I don't think it will be effective in a short time.

Diao Xiuer brought Guo Jia to the front of the hall and did not go in with him, Guo Jia walked into the small hall alone.

There was a man sitting in the hall who looked up at the sound of his footsteps.

"Mr. Guo." Gu Nan asked in surprise, "Why are you here?" ”

The two haven't met much, so they are not familiar enough to call the table characters.

Below, Guo Jia sighed, raised the two wine jugs in his hands, and said with a wry smile.

"Mr. Gu, I'm here to apologize to Mr. today."

Apologize?

Gu Nan didn't understand for a while.

Guo Jia explained: "When I first met, I didn't know Mr., but I once made a joke, do you remember? ”

Hearing this, Gu Nan remembered the scene when he first saw him, and smiled slightly.

That incident, at this time, is still a little funny.

"In the past year, I have been running around, and I have never had a chance to apologize to my husband, and I only came to the door today."

Guo Jia also smiled when he saw Gu Nan laughing.

He knew that the other party was not a narrow-minded person, but if he didn't solve this knot, he would always feel embarrassed when he saw Gu Nan, and his mind was complicated.

"These two jars of wine, can the gentleman be willing to drink with Jia?"

Who knows, Gu Nan pretended to be serious and frowned.

"Didn't I tell you that you are weak and cold, and you can't drink too much, otherwise it will hurt your spleen and stomach, and you will forget it?"

Guo Jia's face was stunned.

But then Gu Nan loosened his brows and put the book on the table.

"It's not a bad idea to have a few drinks once in a while, though."

Guo Jiacai turned to laugh: "Yes, a few glasses are fine, never drink too much." ”

······

The wine table was placed in the courtyard, and the two jars of fine wine were opened, and the faint aroma of wine spread. When there is nothing to do, it is also a pleasure for two people to sit and drink together.

Gu Nan poured the wine into his cup and tasted it, it was indeed a fine wine, of course, this was relative.

"The wine and beauty in front of you are really a time of pride. Mr. Gu, take another drink. ”

After a few glasses of wine, Guo Jia's words began to increase, and he raised the cup in front of Gu Nan as he spoke.

"Wine Lady?"

Gu Nan looked at Guo Jia, who was already a little drunk, suspiciously, this wine is there, where is the beauty?

Guo Jia blinked, smiled, and shook his head again and again.

"When I didn't say it, I toasted it."

After touching the cup, Guo Jia drank it all, and Gu Nan didn't think much about it, just thought that he was about to get drunk.

It's just a drinking affair, and the two are getting a lot closer.

"Speaking of Fengxiao, what do you think about Dong Cheng and a few people?" Gu Nan suddenly said a digression.

Because Cao Cao asked her the same thing a few days ago.

"Dong Cheng?" Guo Jia put down the wine glass, thought for a moment, and said.

"It's just a quest for power, whether it's ambition or ambition, it's nothing more than that."

After speaking, he smiled again, as if he had thought of something interesting, and asked Gu Nan.

"Speaking of which, I don't know what Mr. Gu wants, but Jia really wants to know."

"Me?" Gu Nan's wine glass stopped at his lips, lowered his eyes and thought about it.

She didn't know what to say, so she pursed her lips and said, "I'll tell you a joke, right?" ”

"What do you think she would ask for if she were an immortal?"

Guo Jia held the wine glass in his hand and shook it slowly, staring at the contents of the glass, and after shaking it a few times, he said.

"Mr. Gu, this joke is not funny. If it is really immortal, it is better to die earlier. In a lifetime, if it really lasts that long, it will be too bitter. ”

So everyone goes, leaving him alone, he just thinks about it in his heart, and he feels lonely in his heart.

"yes."

Gu Nan raised his brows as if he didn't care, and drank the wine in his hand.

"You're right."
