Chapter 61 Onset
The Thorn Mansion at night looks a little weird, the fluttering white tent gives people a feeling of a haunted house, the burial of ancient nobles is a very troublesome thing, children not only have to guard the corpse for several days, and finally have to put the funeral goods in the coffin.
Cao Cao knew that Cao Ming's body needed to be recuperated, so the matter of keeping filial piety was not called Cao Ming, which was tantamount to giving Cao Ming a chance to kill Xizhong.
In the house, the wine and food prepared by Cao Ming have been delivered, almost every dish is very salty, and some dishes are even intoxicating.
Cao Ming pinched her nose and looked at the dishes, thinking to herself whether these things could really be eaten, and what if the drama was not hooked.
Xi Zhong stood in his room and was stunned, why did Yan Ying leave without even saying hello, didn't she say that there was nothing important in the near future, and she would accompany her to celebrate the New Year in the Thorn Mansion.
After careful searching, Xi Zhong found that Yan Ying's things were not taken with him, maybe he went out to do something, but would something happen at such a late hour.
"Do you know where Ying'er went?"
Xi Zhong questioned the guard at the gate, because they had been guarding the front of the house, so they should know the truth of the matter.
One of the armor soldiers replied, "Miss Ying'er said that she was going out to do some errands, and I think she should be back soon, sir, don't be too anxious." ”
The soldiers knew in their hearts that Yan Ying was in prison, but they didn't have the courage to tell the truth, because the consequence of telling the truth was death, so they could only hold the truth in their hearts.
Xi Zhong shook his head and said, "It's wrong, you guys go out with me to find her, something must have happened to her so late." ”
Xi Zhong decided to take the two out to find Yan Ying, usually Yan Ying would not come back so late, the only explanation was that Yan Ying might have had an accident.
"Yo! Where does Mr. Drama want to go? With a smile on his face, the servant walked up quickly to stop Xi Zhong, but the mother had privately instructed him to bring Xi Zhong to her room.
"I'm going out to find someone, and I'll talk about it when I come back!" Xi Zhong doesn't have the heart to care about other things now, he just wants to get Yan Ying back as soon as possible, and she doesn't want to care about the rest.
The servant said with a smile: "I'm afraid Mr. Xi can't shirk it, because it was the mother who invited you over, so you should go!" ”
Xi Zhong thought about what the queen was looking for herself, could it be that it had something to do with the daytime, anyway, she wouldn't compromise on anything.
Xi Zhong arched his hand and said: "Since it is Niangniang's request, I should obey my fate, please lead the way for me!" ”
At this time, a bright meteor crossed the sky, and Xi Zhong's heart began to panic, always feeling that something bad was coming, but he couldn't guess what it would be.
Xi Zhong followed the servant to Cao Ming's house, and it happened that there was a hint of wine inside, and a disturbing psychology spread.
Xi Zhong subconsciously stopped moving forward, his body couldn't drink alcohol at all, why was there wine in the queen's house.
The servant blocked his back road and said, "This has already come to the door, does the gentleman want to regret it, isn't this fooling the mother?" ”
It would be rude for Xi Zhong to want to go back, and he would definitely make the queen angry, but his heart was always uneasy, as if disaster was about to come at any time.
Thinking of this, Xi Zhong plucked up his courage and took a step full of death, because he didn't expect Cao Ming to harm him, so he dared to accept this invitation.
"Sir, please take a seat!" Cao Ming saw that Xi Zhong was invited, and thought to herself, it seems that God is helping herself, tonight is either you die or I live.
Xi Zhong sat on the seat and said: "Niangniang has something to say directly, why bother going around in circles in front of me." ”
Cao Ming said with a sad face: "What Mr. said made Ming'er have an epiphany, but now it's too late to remedy it, and I hope you can show Ming'er a clear way." ”
Xi Zhong sighed and said: "Now the only way to return the assets to the lord, I will definitely say a few good words for the mother, presumably the lord will only put you under house arrest if he thinks of the father-daughter relationship." ”
Cao Ming nodded and said, "Thank you, sir, Ming'er will abide by etiquette, be her own queen with peace of mind, and never take care of military and political affairs again." ”
Cao Ming wanted to stabilize Xi Zhong's mood first, let him drink some water and eat some vegetables, and it was best to let him fall ill and die, so that his relationship would be freed.
Xi Zhong took a sip of water and said: "It's good that Niangniang can figure it out, your actions are indeed beyond the boundary, which will affect the lord's competition for the world, and Yang Heng's heart is probably already flying high, whether he can be recalled or not is a difficult thing, this is the result of Niangniang's indulgence." ”
Due to his poor physique, Xi Zhong has suffered from a cold in recent times, and his nose can only smell strong smells like wine vinegar, and his tongue does not feel very obvious about the taste, so he does not feel that this salt wine is unpleasant.
"Sir, you might as well drink some wine and eat some food!"
Cao Ming didn't frown when she saw him, thinking that it seemed that there was a drama tonight, and it would be good to let him eat more vegetables.
Xi Zhong really felt hungry after a busy day, and immediately ate at Cao Ming's request, of course, he would not touch the wine that was harmful to himself, but he had the food he ate and the water he drank.
"Ahem! Cough! Xi Zhong felt that his breathing was starting to be difficult, and he thought that he was going to have a cough and asthma, and he had to go to the doctor in the hospital quickly.
Xi Zhong begged Cao Ming for help: "Niangniang, my illness seems to have flare-up, help me call the doctor in the hospital, it will hurt my life after a long time." ”
Cao Ming said anxiously: "It's too late to call the doctor now, why don't I let the servant help my husband to seek medical treatment, this will definitely be more efficient." ”
"Then there is Lao Niangniang" Xi Zhong was also afraid that it would be too late, so he simply chose Cao Ming's method.
"Someone will send Mr. to the doctor!" Cao Ming thought to himself that the opportunity had finally come, as long as he delayed for a while, he would definitely not be able to last too long.
The servants outside the house have long since left, which is also what Cao Ming ordered, and now all Xi Zhong can do is wait for death.
Cao Ming heard that there was no movement outside, and immediately persuaded him: "Mr. Xi is not good, the servant seems to have gone to the kitchen, or I will help you go to the hospital!" ”
"Thank you Niangniang" Xi Zhong's face became a little ugly, he was no longer breathless, but he couldn't feel the breath inhaled.
Cao Ming stood up slowly, and then sat down suddenly, as if she was acting on purpose.
Cao Ming rubbed her temples and said, "Sir, I also feel a little uncomfortable, maybe my head injury has attacked, I have to go out to find a doctor now, and I will come back to save you later." ”
"You did it on purpose" Xi Zhong finally understood the cause of the disease, this food must be adulterated with disease-causing things, and the culprit is probably Cao Ming.
Cao Ming said with a cold face: "Mr. guessed it well, this is actually my masterpiece, of course, if you want to blame this matter, you should blame yourself, you have to check some things that have nothing to do with you, and you have to tell my father about these things." ”
"You have a different heart for the lord!" Xi Zhong didn't understand what the other party meant, why did she oppose the lord, wasn't she the lord's daughter.
Cao Ming shook her head and said: "It's not a dissent, because my father and I have different ideas, so there will be differences in future decisions, and only when my strength is not inferior to his, he will respect my opinion." ”
Xi Zhong's face turned purple and said: "It seems that I really underestimated you, originally I thought you were a woman, no matter how ambitious you are, you are a queen, but I didn't expect you to want to compete for the world." ”
From the day he met Cao Ming, Xi Zhong thought that Cao Ming was just an ignorant girl, and she was able to become the queen because of Cao Cao's help.
Cao Ming chuckled and said: "Do you think it's yours to win the world by force, what I want to do is not to fight, but to make the world need me Cao Ming to stand up!" ”
Xi Zhong's eyes dimmed and said: "I, Xi Zhong, have lived for so many years, and it is the first time I have heard this kind of remarks, maybe you are right"
Xi Zhong fell down after speaking, his life had come to an end, which could be regarded as a relief for him.
Cao Ming thought to herself that she had become bad, and she could harm others by any means, and sometimes she really wished it was a dream.
"Mother's little back here! This! The servant suddenly barged in, and the scene in front of him made him feel terrified, it was Cao Ming who killed Xi Zhong.
Cao Ming said calmly: "Mr. Xi, he had an emergency just now, and now it has been a long time, don't tell my father about this matter first, I'm afraid he won't be able to accept it." ”
"The little one understands!" The servant suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that it was Xi Zhong's sudden emergency, and he thought it was his mother who killed someone.
Cao Ming then instructed: "There are just dead people in this house, I really can't live in it, you ask them to prepare a new room, the layout should be similar." ”
Cao Ming was afraid of having some terrible nightmares in the middle of the night, and thought that it would be better to live in a different room, at least there was nothing unclean.
The servant thought for a while and said: "Niangniang is a phoenix and a golden body, how dare the ghost of Xizhong approach, according to the villain, it is better to clean it up, this change of residence depends on the meaning of the lord." ”
"And how about you live here?" Cao Ming thought that it wasn't you who killed people, of course you don't have ghosts in your heart, so it's better to let you suppress ghosts.
"The little one is going to prepare the room!" The servant was frightened by Cao Ming's words, and he didn't dare to live in this house, so he honestly went to prepare the room.
It didn't take long for the two armor soldiers to walk in, and then carried Xi Zhong's body out, presumably to put it in the coffin for a few days before being buried according to Cao Cao's wishes.
After Cao Ming got rid of the big trouble, he didn't have a sense of joy, and there would be more people who opposed him in the future, and he didn't know how far he could go.
In the mourning hall, Cao Cao was sleeping against a pillar when he suddenly dreamed that Xi Zhong said goodbye to him.
This strange dream woke Cao Cao up in an instant, could it be that something really happened to Xi Zhong, but wasn't he still in good health during the day, maybe he was asleep again just now, this filial piety is not ordinary tired.
