Chapter 143: Drowning
"You can't just leave it at that!" Cao Ming planned to ask Liu Xie in person, if he didn't even bother with the assassination, that person's experience would be broad.
In the back garden of the palace, Liu Xiezheng drank with Fu Shou, and from time to time he also enjoyed the scenery, and his small life was very nourishing.
At this time, a eunuch ran over with a solemn face: "Qiqi Sheng, Niangniang is here!" ”
"What is she doing here?" Fu Shou's face became very ugly, originally today was a two-person world with Liu Xie, who knew that Cao Ming would come to stir up the situation.
Liu Xie pretended to be calm: "It's okay, the queen came to me at this time, it shouldn't be an important thing." ”
At the intersection of the garden, Cao Ming was holding a long sword, ready to settle accounts with Liu Xie.
The guards are all Cao Ming's people, and there are not too many restrictions on her holding a sword, just as if they didn't see it.
At this time, a eunuch stopped Cao Ming's way: "Niangniang, the saint is drinking with Fu Guiren inside, I'm afraid it's not good for you to rush in like this." ”
Cao Ming was very angry, pointed his sword at the eunuch and said, "Get out of the way for me, or I'll be the first to kill you!" ”
"Nuo Xiao, get out!" The eunuch saw that Cao Ming was really angry, and immediately ran out of the garden.
Liu Xie's heart was already prepared, but when he saw Cao Ming, his soul was almost scared out.
The surrounding subordinates were also scared enough, and it stands to reason that someone should come forward to stop them, but half a day has passed, and there is no one who has stepped forward.
Cao Ming pointed at Liu Xie with a sword and said, "Do you think that you have a good life, and you want to turn a chicken into a phoenix?" ”
Liu Xie sat down on the ground, his face turned pale and said, "Empress, if you have something to say, I won't tell you anything." ”
Cao Ming said with a straight face: "The whole body of the saint is wrong, especially the people around the saint. Not even a good bird. ”
Fu Shou thought that Cao Ming was talking about her, and immediately fell at Cao Ming's feet: "Sister Queen, I didn't do anything, don't kill me!" ”
Cao Ming kicked Fu Shou away and said coldly: "I'm not looking for you today, get away from each other!" ”
Fu Shou immediately got up. Leaving the garden with his subordinates, he didn't even dare to turn his head.
Liu Xie faced the imposing Cao Ming, and said in a trembling tone: "Empress, you can't kill me, I'm the emperor!" ”
Cao Ming said straight to the point: "The eunuchs around the Holy Lord instigated Lu Bu's daughter to kill my father. ”
"I don't know anything." Liu Xie's feet were already close to the lake, and he would fall down if he took two more steps.
Cao Ming smiled and said, "It's okay if the Holy Lord doesn't admit it, I can kill you without killing you today, you can jump down by yourself!" ”
"You don't push me!" Liu Xie is not very good at swimming. Jumping off rashly is like looking for death.
"Jump, quick!" Cao Ming almost roared, if it weren't for Liu Xie's usefulness, this sword would have pierced into his chest a long time ago.
"Poof!" Liu Xie was yelled at by Cao Ming, fell directly back into the lake, and disappeared on the surface of the lake in an instant.
Cao Ming pointed to the eunuchs and said, "Go and fish him up, don't drown." ”
The eunuchs scrambled to jump into the water, and it didn't take long for Liu Xie to be fished out. Fortunately, it didn't drown.
A eunuch's face turned pale and said, "The Holy Lord is dead, the Holy Lord is dead, how is this good?" ”
Cao Ming frowned: "Impossible." In such a short time, no one can drown. ”
Cao Ming took a closer look and found that he had just fainted, so he immediately used pressure to force Liu Xie to spit out water.
"Ahem" After Liu Xie opened his eyes, he saw Cao Ming standing next to him. I was so frightened that I fainted again.
Cao Ming said contentedly, "No one is allowed to say what happened today, otherwise it will cost your dog's life!" ”
One of the eunuchs nodded and said, "No! It was the saint who accidentally fell into the water, and it has nothing to do with Niangniang! ”
Cao Ming agreed: "That's right, no matter which minister asks you. They all answered him like this. ”
"The minion remembered." The eunuchs were afraid that it would be their turn next, so they had to pretend that they didn't see anything.
"What's your name?" Cao Ming found that this eunuch was not very old, but he was very witty in doing things, which was qualitatively different from other eunuchs.
The eunuch lowered his head and said, "The slave's name is Mu Shun, if the mother has an order, just say it." ”
Cao Ming's eyes rolled: "Mu Shun!" It was you who told Lu Ling that the revenge of killing your father should not be forgotten, right? ”
Cao Ming found out that he was the first eunuch to jump into the water, and it seemed that he was not generally loyal to Liu Xie, and the person who passed the message was probably him.
Mu Shun didn't deny it, but he didn't admit it either: "It's just a manifestation of the girl's immaturity, is it to blame the slave?" ”
Cao Ming put away her anger and said, "Even if you win this time, because I can't find evidence, I can't do anything about you." ”
Cao Ming didn't want to waste time with him, maybe the whole assassination was premeditated, and these two people were definitely not the only ones involved.
Mu Shun smiled and said, "Niangniang, the slave has something to tell you, the true dragon must not be bullied, otherwise it will be punished by heaven." ”
Cao Ming knew that the real dragon he was talking about was referring to the current Liu Xie, but who could say clearly about such a thing as being punished by God.
The next day, Cao Ming was alone in the Xuanshu Palace, and Liu Xie had fallen into the water yesterday and had already suffered from wind and cold, so he could only continue to recuperate.
Cao Cao took the opportunity to propose a good matter to negotiate: "Qi Yu Niangniang, Weichen thinks that Sun Ce has meritorious service to the imperial court, and he should send someone to reward him." ”
Although the two of them have discussed it in advance, some of the steps that should be taken must be done decently
Cao Ming agreed: "I have this intention, I will be the messenger, you Aiqing have no opinion, right?" ”
Naturally, the officials below will not have an opinion, and now everyone knows that the Cao family controls the government, and those who oppose it will not end well.
At this time, Fu Wan objected: "The minister has objections, Niangniang is the master of the harem, and doing so will undoubtedly reduce her status." ”
Cao Ming had already guessed that Fu Wan would object, and immediately reprimanded angrily: "Then let your daughter be a messenger, she is cheap enough!" ”
"You, you." After Fu Fu, he was so angry that he couldn't speak for a while, so he could only sit in place and gasp for breath, after all, his daughter was abused in public, and his face as a father couldn't hang it.
Cao Ming said angrily: "Fu Aiqing seems to be not lightly ill, I will go home to recuperate for a few days, and then go to court when I am well." ”
"I'm not sick!" Fu Wan was shocked, this was to drive him away, but he couldn't let the other party succeed.
Cao Cao coughed lightly: "After the ambush, Niangniang will let you recuperate now, don't you hurry up and thank you, do you want to resist the decree?" ”
"Thank you, mother." Fu Wan knew that he had to agree now, otherwise the other party would kill him at any time, and the great cause would not be completed at that time.
Cao Ming waved his hand: "Come on, send you back to the house after the ambush, remember not to slack off." ”
Cao Ming knew that Cao Cao was injured and would take the opportunity to provoke an incident, so she chose to let Fu Wan go home in advance and not give the other party any chance. (To be continued.) )
