Cao Cao was already sick and weak, so he sighed in the wind, recalling the bits and pieces of the time with Guan Yu, Wen Jiu beheaded Huaxiong, Zhongyi made three covenants, beheaded Yan Liang and Wen Chou, passed five passes and beheaded six generals, and that Huarong Dao......

When he got home, he was confined to bed to recuperate, and the headaches flared up from time to time, and he even felt that his always clear mind was a little confused.

In the past two days, he has always recalled the past, and since Guan Yu's grave that day, he has thought a lot. Dong Zhuo, Lu Bu, Diao Chan, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Liu Biao, Zhou Yu, Sun Quan.

Guo Jia, Xun Yu, Xun You, Cao Ang, Dian Wei, Cao Chong, and Liu Bei.

He thought of his life, those who hated him Cao Cao, those who respected him Cao Cao, those who tried to kill him Cao Cao, and those who were killed by him.

He felt more and more that he was going to leave.

One night, Cao Cao left Lingxi by his side. Since coming to Luoyang, this is the first time, and he asked Lingxi to stay.

Lingxi was vaguely aware of something, but she didn't dare to think about it at all.

She listened to Cao Cao say to her, "Little demon, come to me." ”

Tears still flowed uncontrollably.

After following Cao Cao for so many years, she actually only cried once in front of him, and in the days when she left home to study medicine with Hua Tuo, she also shed tears for Cao Cao.

But this time was different, Lingxi knew that he was leaving him.

"What are you crying about?" Cao Cao's tone was very gentle, coaxing her: "My little demon has already grown up, and she is the mother of three children, how can she still cry." ”

"Ahu, I'm afraid of ......" Lingxi's voice was wet, and she leaned her head on Cao Cao.

When her body touched Cao Cao again and felt his temperature, she suddenly had a strange and terrifying thought.

If you are gone, I do not want to live alone.

Cao Cao seemed to see through her thoughts, and said slowly: "Death is not terrible, everyone has to die, people like me, even if they close their eyes at night, they can't sleep well." If you die, you can sleep peacefully. ”

"But you're different, my rhino, maybe you can live forever and live for me."

Cao Cao looked at Lingxi's tearful cheeks and remembered their past.

God is kind to him, but it gives Lingxi youth, so that he can see the romance and beauty hidden in his heart as soon as he raises his eyes.

"It's just that it's really hard for you, I promised to stay with you, and I look forward to the day when I can retire successfully, I can't fulfill my promise."

"Ah Gou, don't say it anymore......" Hearing this, how could Lingxi be happy.

"Why don't you tell me?" Cao Cao smiled, took Lingxi's hand, and motioned for Lingxi to help him sit up.

His fingers stroked the hair beside Lingxi's ear, and said very gently and firmly in her ear: "Don't be afraid, we still have three lives and three lives, next time, I will wait for you, wait for you to go together, and never grow old in front of you." ”

On this night, Cao Cao hugged Lingxi, doing his best to show his last tenderness.

Early the next morning, Cao Pi came.

He had been heard early in the morning, and when he came, the spirit had not yet woken up.

When Cao Pi saw it, he hurriedly wanted to withdraw, but he heard Cao Cao whisper to him: "Send her back and you come again, be gentle, don't disturb her." ”

After Lingxi returned, she was stopped at the door, and she heard the news of Cao Pi and the ministers, and later Cao Cao's wives and concubines, and then there were bursts of crying.

On the 23rd day of the first month of the 25th year of Jian'an, Cao Cao died of illness in Luoyang.

The atmosphere in the house is low, but there is no loneliness, Cao Pi's heir is the king of Wei, the prime minister, and the leader of Jizhou. Now, it's all Cao Pi's.

In the first month, Cao Pi took office and rebuilt An for 25 years as the first year of Yankang.

In February, Cao Cao was buried in Gaoling. King Zhenwu.

Cao Cao is gone, according to Cao Pi's character, it is impossible for him not to come to see Lingxi, but he really hasn't come.

Lingxi struggled to cheer himself up, hoping to fulfill his promise to Cao Cao and live well for him.

She knew Cao Pi, since he hadn't shown up yet, there must be something more important to him.

He has just ascended to the throne, and how his brothers, especially Cao Zhi, who was once on a par with him, should arrange, these are all things he has to do.

And, there's ......

Lingxi was stunned, she clearly knew that Cao Cao was the king of Wei until his death, and Cao Pi was different, he was the emperor on behalf of Han.

Thinking of this, she had to worry about Liu Xie. No matter how rude and cruel Cao Cao was, he was still hindering her relationship with Liu Xie, and he didn't do anything to him.

But now it is Cao Pi who has to face, not Cao Cao.

Lingxi suddenly became clear. Cao Pi also knows himself very well, and he is waiting for him to take the initiative to meet him.

Lingxi has not forgotten the woman who was him that day, Cao Pi has always been a hidden danger, and even a hidden danger that Cao Cao has not solved.

Now that I'm the only one left, I still have to deal with it.

She breathed a sigh of relief and waited until it was dark before walking towards Cao Pi.

This was originally Cao Cao's courtyard, but now the people inside are Cao Pi. In fact, there are many places in Cao Pi that are indeed very similar to Cao Cao, and at the moment, for example, there is no one guarding this courtyard.

Lingxi hesitated at the door, not knowing what to say, how to say, now there is nothing that can restrain Cao Pi.

Just then, the door suddenly opened.

Cao Pi seemed to expect Lingxi to come, so he reached out and pulled her in.

"You're going to come sooner or later, and you won't be here for me." Cao Pi said bluntly.

Lingxi didn't beat around the bush: "Recently, there has been a lot of movement in the court, you have been staying in Luoyang, and it is said that you have also taken Your Majesty back to Luoyang Palace, what do you want to do?" ”

"It's really infuriating to hear you accuse me directly in front of me, and to care so much about your majesty. Father is indeed too fond of you. ”

In the past, Lingxi had also accused Cao Cao of similar things.

"But you're late, he's already written the third time in the Zen book, and this time, I should accept it."

"Zen? How the hell did you persecute Your Majesty, Cao Pi! Thinking of Liu Xie's strong heart but really powerless, he was forced to write a Zen edict, Lingxi felt unbearable.

"This is providence, not that I forced him. The Han Dynasty's qi has long been exhausted. ”

"Cao Pi! Your father has just died, and you are going to be a rebel and a thief, are you worthy of his spirit in the sky? ”

"You don't know your father yet? I do this, and he will only be happy for me. Cao Pi was not angry, and said: "When my father died, he asked me three things, treat your brothers and sisters well, and treat your two sons well, and he also said that since ancient times, emperors have been lonely. ”

It turned out that in the past month, he had already put his previous plan into practice.

How could Lingxi stop him, he was Cao Pi.

"It's come to this, I just hope you don't hurt Your Majesty, let me go and see him, okay?" Lingxi sighed.

"You're begging me?"

"Yes, I beg you to ......" The corners of Lingxi's eyes were moist, she didn't mind begging Cao Pi, she only cared if she could see Liu Xie.

Cao Pi stepped forward to wipe away Lingxi's tears, his breath hit Lingxi's face, he was so close to Lingxi for the first time.

……

Not long after, Cao Pi became the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and changed the first year of Yankang to the first year of the early Huang Dynasty. He posthumously honored Cao Cao as Emperor Wu, respected his mother Bian as the Queen Mother, and Lingxi also became a concubine.

Cao Cao's other concubines followed Cao Cao's arrangement and stayed at will, and Cao Pi still treated those who were willing to stay.

It's just that for Lingxi, the ring concubine, his mind is not pure.

He promised that after he ascended the throne, he would make Liu Xie the Duke of Shanyang, not kill him, and protect him for a lifetime, and also promised that before Liu Xie went to the fiefdom, Lingxi could enter the palace to meet him.

But the condition is still that sentence, be his woman.

When he said this, his face was not red and his heart was not beating, but he was also very much like Cao Cao.

However, Lingxi also had her own ideas.
