Cao Yu narrowed his eyes and looked down at Jiang Guifei: "Does Niang Niang know what she is talking about?" ”

"Hongu naturally knows." Jiang Guifei sneered and let go.

She didn't have a choice, she had no one to rely on in the huge palace, she didn't believe Cao Alcohol, and she didn't believe Emperor Qingwen.

Jiang Guifei is smart because she doesn't trust anyone, and she only says one thing to Cao Alcohol and doesn't mention the other.

"I still remember that when you first entered the palace, you were just like this child, a small lump, squatting in the snow to wash a basin of clothes taller than a person," Jiang Guifei lowered her eyes and talked about the past casually.

"At that time, this palace was thinking, this palace will really eat people, women, and children."

Cao Yu still had the same smile on his face, he stood motionless, and the thin candlelight fell on his eyes and turned into a block of ice.

"But the minister survived, but he died." He slowly raised his head, his face compelling: "That's the difference." ”

Jiang Guifei laughed, she was very satisfied with Cao Alcohol's answer, which is why only Cao Alcohol could please her for so many years, because he knew her best and knew what she wanted.

"What does the mother want to do, just do it, for so many years, the mother's kindness to the minister, the minister is unforgettable." Cao Yu stood up straight, his beautiful and handsome face was exposed in front of people, he was like a thin pine, the snow could not be crushed, and the wind could not fall.

Jiang Guifei looked at Cao Yu in a trance, and she stroked her nails for a while.

In a trance, I remembered the winter more than ten years ago, there was heavy snow in the sky, Emperor Qingwen had just ascended the throne, everything in the palace was waiting to be revived, she was still young at that time, it was the time when she loved to be lively and fun, and the winter was not too cold, and she went into the plum forest and folded plum blossoms one after another.

As a result, in front of the well near the Huanyi Bureau, he bumped into Cao Alcohol, who was punished for kneeling, and the child's small hands were frozen with pus and sores.

Cao Bo, the great eunuch beside Emperor Qingwen, swung his whip and whipped the young Cao Alcohol fiercely, and she hid behind the tree and watched until Cao Bo bumped into her.

To this day, Jiang Guifei still remembers Cao Bo's words: This kid is a wolf who can bite people, but it is rare to be a grateful person.

Cao Alcohol is very good when he is good, and worse than anyone else when he is bad, he can keep you in his heart, and he will never betray you.

Thinking of this, Concubine Jiang no longer hesitated, she beckoned, and the palace maid brought out a child from the deeper part of the inner hall.

The boy was dressed in a washed white cloth, thin like a monkey, but his eyes were astonishingly bright.

The child kowtowed to Cao Yu three times with great eyes, and shouted in a milky voice: "I have seen Lord Cao." ”

Cao Ol squatted down to help the child up, and asked again in a deep voice: "Niangniang really thought about it?" ”

"Can you still regret it?" Jiang Guifei laughed self-deprecatingly, she had no way out, if the news of the unexpected death of the third prince came out at this time, she would be completely out of contact with the position under that person.

Cao Yu took the child's arm and stared at him carefully, and asked quite seriously: "Have you thought about it too?" ”

"I want to... Think about it. The child was afraid of Cao Alcohol, and he endured his fear and said: "There is a quilt for eating, drinking, and warmth, I... I figured it out. ”

"It doesn't matter if you live your life under someone else's name?" Cao Jun asked.

The child nodded, he was not afraid of anything, as long as he was not starved to death, what was he?

Cao Ol suddenly laughed: "How old are you this year?" ”

"Four... Four years old. ”

Four years old is the age of the little prince, it seems that the concubine has put a lot of effort into finding someone, but unfortunately she found a little liar, a four-year-old child can't say such things.

"Tell the truth." Cao Alcohol's voice was not hurried, and he let go of the child's arm he was pinching: "You can lie anywhere, but you can't do it here." ”

The tone is obviously not salty or light, but it sounds like a demon asking for life in the ears. wonderful

"Seven... Year. The child clumsily stretched out seven fingers and quickly explained, "I... I didn't mean to lie. ”

Seven years old, seven years old is really a good age, an age that can do evil, Cao Yu laughed twice self-deprecatingly.

"How?" He wiped away the blood stains on the child's face that had not yet coagulated, and asked in a relaxed tone, "You killed someone?" ”

The child's whole body stiffened, and his little face turned pale in an instant.

Where is the most children in the palace, probably next to the cleansing room, where there are many young eunuchs who have been cleansed, and it can only be there to find a child who is both thin and young in such a short time, and who is also of age and agrees with the requirements.

It just so happened that there was a group of little eunuchs who were going to enter the palace today and wait for purification, so there was no need to think that this child came out of there.

"I... I didn't. The child snorted, "Really... of none. ”

"I just... Just help him go first. ”

Go first? Which step to take first? To die?

"Good boy." Cao Ol patted the child's head, people often say that three years old looks ten years older and looks old, this child is too hard-hearted, and I am afraid he will be a ruthless character in the future.

I hope that Concubine Jiang can treat him well and not dig her own grave.

July fire, fifteen and a half months, this day coincides with the Midyear Festival, to the second half of the night it rains, the inner hall of the Qianqing Palace is still in spring.

Because of this rain, the begonias in the palace were all in bloom the next morning, and Emperor Qingwen was refreshed and took Cao Huifei to enjoy the flowers in the imperial garden.

The palace people came to report that Jiang Guifei killed several palace people in the Chengqian Palace with a rod last night, saying that these people ignored the palace rules and burned paper money in the palace to collide with the concubine, so they were killed by the cane.

Emperor Qingwen knew Jiang Guifei's temper, and yesterday he recruited Concubine Hui, which inevitably provoked her, so he neither reprimanded nor said anything else, but said: "Violating the palace rules is itself wrong, and the concubine is punished." ”

The emperor said so, and he didn't dare to hold on to it anymore.

"All transported to the mass grave outside the city?" Cao Alcohol lies on the chair and closes his eyes.

"Back to my godfather, my son saw it all buried with his own eyes." The little eunuch who was doing the work replied with a sincere fear that he was the one who sent the message to the Qianqing Palace last night.

More than a dozen palace people died in Chengqian Palace overnight, and he saw clearly how those people died.

It was Cao Alcohol who saved him, if it weren't for Cao Alcohol, I'm afraid he would have died long ago.

"What's your name?" Cao Yu asked unintentionally.

"Back to my godfather, my son's surname is Jiao." Jiao Da replied respectfully.

Cao Yu lit the chair handle with one hand, his eyes were far-reaching, the people who knew the details last night had already extinguished, the third prince was young, and there were very few people who had seen him, and now as long as Jiang Guifei continued to perform this scene, it would not be a good thing.

Thinking of this, Cao Yu laughed silently, sure enough, God is fair, and letting him be in a desperate situation gave him another chance, the third prince was a stupid child before, but now it is not.

He might be able to learn from his godfather.

"Godfather, what else do you have to tell your son?" Jiao Da bent down and asked respectfully.

"Burn more paper money." Cao Alcohol threw out a lot of silver: "Ask some more monks and Taoists to recite the scriptures for forty-nine days." ”

"Cast a good family in the next life, don't fall into this pickled place."

In this way, it is not in vain that the child calls him godfather.
