Chapter 55: The Truth and the Lie
It was night, and Lingxi felt uneasy, thinking about what to say when he saw Liu Xie tomorrow.
She never saw Liu Xie again, and she couldn't save his concubine and child under Cao Cao that day, and she didn't know if Liu Xie had already forgotten about her, or never wanted to get close to her again.
This is Luoyang, not Xuchang, Lingxi followed Cao Cao back to Luoyang, and there were no maids with whom she was familiar, and now even in her own courtyard, all of them were people sent by Cao Pixin.
Cao Cao is gone, the master is gone, her Cao Ju and Cao Yu are not in Luoyang, Lingxi feels that she has reached the point where she doesn't even have a person to talk to, and she is really lonely.
The days ahead are still so long.
It turns out that without him, there is no expectation, and in fact, life is not so happy.
Lingxi thought wildly.
The wind was not warm in the night, so she turned off the light, intending to wrap herself in a brocade quilt earlier.
The room was unusually empty, but after a few steps, the crisp sound of the clasps on the ankles sounded, and it was still so crisp after all these years.
With this sound, the door of her room was pushed open.
The man walked in through the door and closed the door.
In the darkness, only the moonlight faintly shone in, but the person who came was too familiar to know that it was Cao Pi without looking.
After Lingxi went to intercede with him, this was the first time he appeared in front of her, just like in Xuchang and Yecheng, he would always appear suddenly.
"What are you doing here?" Lingxi asked.
"I thought that after my father left, you should have taken off this buckle, what are you going to do with it?" Cao Pi replied.
Sidestep the question.
Lingxi had long been accustomed to Cao Pi secretly appearing from time to time, and he didn't want to say more, and said coldly: "It's none of your business, I'm going to sleep, you go quickly." ”
Why do you still keep it, is it because you miss your father?
"Wasn't this a gift from your father? There's simply no way to take it down? Cao Pi was stunned.
Although Lingxi's appearance has not changed, she is indeed much older than herself.
He only vaguely knew that Liu Bei also liked Lingxi, and there had been an incident where Lingxi was robbed to Xuzhou.
Before, he had always thought that the buckle on Lingxi's feet was given by Cao Cao, but at this moment, he suddenly found that it didn't seem to be.
"It's none of your business!" Lingxi was a little angry.
However, this made Cao Pi more confirmed.
"Don't talk to me in such a tone in the future, don't forget, what did you promise me?" Cao Pi wasn't really angry with her, but he always felt that he had an inexplicable fire and wanted to vent it.
Lingxi looked up at him, and suddenly smiled again: "Pi'er, you are already the king of Wei, I didn't expect there to be such a childish time." ”
Cao Pi was shocked by this Pi'er, outside Xinye City, since he said don't call it like this again, Lingxi really hasn't been.
"In your eyes, I was always a child? No matter how hard I try, I'm always just the son of my father? "He hated it.
"Not only his children, but also mine. How many times have I hugged you? It was as if she was deliberately provoking him.
Sure enough, she saw Cao Pi's eyes flickering, who had always been calm.
"Mrs. Huan, Concubine Huan, you are really not ordinary, since you like this kind of relationship, then I don't care."
After that, Cao Pi came straight to the face, and in the exclamation of Lingxi, he picked up the person and fell on the bed.
His breath came to his face, and he said hurriedly: "I've been waiting for this day for too long, you forced me, you forced me!" ”
He buried his head in the neck of the lingxi.
The spirit wanted to push it away, but it couldn't do it anyway.
She pretended to be frightened, but one hand reached into her brocade quilt.
The next moment, Cao Pi snorted and flashed to the side.
On his left forearm, a cut in his shirt was cut, and blood oozed out.
Here, not far away, he was injured once, at that time he thought that Cao Cao was going to kill the spirit rhino, he really wanted to save the spirit rhino, regardless of it, he was injured outside Xinye City.
This time, he was injured again by the spirit rhino.
He looked at the dagger in Lingxi's hand in disbelief, which glowed with cold light in the night: "Seven Star Knife? ”
It was the seven-star knife that assassinated Dong Zhuo back then, but somehow, it returned to Cao Cao's hands and was given to Lingxi by him.
"Cao Pi, this knife, I have prepared it for you a long time ago, just waiting for you! I know that on weekdays, you are cautious and suspicious, and it is impossible to hurt you, this is the opportunity you gave me! There was pain, distress, and too much emotion in Lingxi's tone.
"Why, why! I've saved you twice, and you've done this to me! Cao Pi shouted.
"Even if you save me ten times, you won't be able to erase your Chong'er who killed me! For the sake of Meng De, I can not kill you, but I must be clear to you, we all know what you are doing. "The spirit rhino couldn't be calmer anymore.
"Cao Pi is worthy of being Cao Pi, you took the wine to your fourth brother Cao Zhi, but you put a poison in one of the jars that ordinary people can't identify. You ask him to send some to Chong'er, if you just give the poisonous wine to Chong'er, you won't admit it, and you will frame Cao Zhi, if Cao Zhi accidentally drinks it, you will die with him, what I said is no! ”
"You made such a big bet and you won. I don't want you to die, I just want you to taste it, what does your favorite grape taste like in your mouth in the future, and what does your father mean when he says that the emperor is lonely! ”
The corners of Lingxi's eyes are tears, and the corners of Cao Pi's eyes are also tears.
He stopped arguing with himself.
He breathed a sigh of relief, forced himself to calm down, and then said word for word: "The most important thing is that I won, and now you are also mine, even if you hurt me ten thousand times again, I will not let you go." ”
"Don't forget, I promised you, but only after meeting Your Majesty."
……
I don't know when, the room was quiet, more and more quiet, not long after Cao Pi left, the deepest color of the night was gone.
The next day, Cao Pi kept his promise and sent someone to send Lingxi into the palace, Lingxi saw Liu Xie, and then she took Liu Xie outside Luoyang City to fulfill the promise she made when she was a child.
"Sister, I hope that one day, Liu Xie can put paper kites in the outside world with my sister and ride horses together."
The appearance of Lingxi revived Liu Xie's broken heart a lot, and outside the city, the two rode their horses, even if Cao Pi's people followed them, they still indulged to their heart's content.
In the afternoon, they stopped in a forest on the outskirts of the city, and after indulging in roaring, Liu Xie quieted down again.
He leaned on Lingxi's shoulder and sat down under the tree.
His tone was endlessly sad: "Sister, I lost the inheritance of my ancestors, even if Cao Pi let me go, I can't live freely, and the foundation of the Han Dynasty for more than 400 years has been destroyed in my hands......"
There are many kinds of kings who have died in the country, and Liu Xie can be any of them, but he definitely does not lose his foundation because of mediocrity.
However, in the face of such heart-wrenching words, Lingxi couldn't think of how to comfort him.
"Sister......" didn't wait for Lingxi to come over, but Liu Xie whispered in her ear.
He actually said the same idea as himself.
Lingxi said impatiently: "What did I do, sister, I never helped you, but I asked you to pay again and again for me." ”
After returning to the palace, Liu Xie took Lingxi to his dormitory, and Lingxi stopped the person who wanted to follow up: "Wait outside, I'll send him in and leave." ”
As long as this request was not excessive, those people did not dare to disobey the spirit, so they stopped.
After Cao Pi became emperor, Liu Xie temporarily moved his residence here, which was where the secret passage out of the palace was located that day.
Liu Xie decided to leave with Lingxi and escape from Cao Pi's control, which was exactly what Lingxi thought.
What Lingxi didn't expect was that as soon as she entered the door, she saw a person, a woman.
The woman was demure and elegant, and saluted her: "Mrs. Huan, I am Cao Jie, the daughter of my father." ”
