Chapter 50: A Hangover and a False Order
The fire danced, like a provocative war, which made people irritated.
Cao Pi, whose cheeks were crimson, looked at the firelight that kept flickering in front of him, like an angry lion panting heavily. He raised his hand and squeezed his aching temples hard, and tilted his head back to pour a full glass of liquor into his stomach.
At first, Cao Shu was pouring wine, but later Cao Pi thought that Cao Shu was pouring too slowly, so he replaced it with himself. Cup after cup, altar after altar. Although Cao Pi's face was already crimson, and his consciousness gradually began to blur, he did not stop.
"Your Majesty, don't drink it anymore, although this wine is a good thing, but drinking too much will hurt your body!"
Cao Shu looked at Cao Pi who kept pouring wine on himself worriedly, full of helplessness. Since Cao Zhi entered Sima Gate drunken by mistake, Cao Pijiu has never been drunk again. After so many years, Cao Shu was a little worried about whether Cao Pi could still withstand such a vigorous irrigation.
"Hurt her body, how can she worry about my body!" Cao Pi's eyes were red and he stared at the swaying fire in the wine glass, so he was not sad. When he poured the wine into his throat again, a mist grew in his eyes.
"Cao Shu, you also knew Chai Xuan back then, did you say that she really didn't have any affection for me?" The blurry and flickering eyes looked at Cao Shu on the side, and the eyes full of hope even made Cao Shu feel a little distressed when he saw it.
"Your Majesty, with the temperament of the noble chai, she must care about you." Cao Shu replied with his head bowed, his eyes full of melancholy.
"Care, but what I want is not only her care, but her heart~" The bitter smile on the corner of her mouth is like a rain cloud, and the hearts of those who listen to it are raining.
Drinking alone in a single cup is full of loneliness. It seems that Cao Pi poured it into his throat was not turbid wine but Coptis chinensis, which was so bitter.
The figure moved slightly, and Cao Shu looked sideways at Guo Zhao. Hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "Your concubine, you are finally here." "In the past, when Cao Pi was drunk, almost all of them were taken care of by Guo Zhaolai. Therefore, seeing Guo Zhao coming, I was a little relieved.
"Cao Shu, you go down first." The red lips moved slightly, and he spoke softly. The flashing microwave eyes looked fixedly at the person who borrowed wine to kill his sorrows, and his heart was a little lost.
I have always thought that in Cao Pi's eyes, women are not outdated at all. When the heart is happy, it loves in every way; When you are not happy, you abandon it as if you were a cover. Don't say that he is drunk alone for a woman, that is, he is afraid of mistaking his imperial hegemony after drinking two more cups.
Guo Zhao's footsteps moved slightly, and Man Man sat down close to Cao Pi, and filled Cao Pi's empty wine glass again. The corners of his lips moved slightly, and he wanted to say something, but he slowly closed it.
"What are you doing?" Cao Pi, who was drunk and confused, said with a mouth full of wine through the dim firelight.
Guo Zhao looked at Cao Pi with a flushed face affectionately, smiled quietly, and poured out in a soft tone, and said, "Zhao'er came to see Your Majesty." ”
In the past, Cao Pi had always called himself like this, but since he became the wife of King Wei and became a noble concubine, such a title has never been seen again. When she listened to Cao Pi calling Chai Xuan and Xuan'er so tenderly, her heart hurt like a pinprick.
In the haze, Cao Pi quietly looked at the familiar face, but his heart was stunned. When he saw her for the first time, his playful eyes and slightly hooked corners of his mouth always allowed him to find a little bit of Chai Xuan's shadow.
But with the change of time, Guo Zhao is not Chai Xuan in the end, even if she does have more exquisite thoughts than Chai Xuan, she is also more beautiful. It's not just not, and I can't force her to be Chai Xuan.
Seeing that Cao Pi looked at him stupidly and didn't say anything, Guo Zhao's eyes were dark, and he said, "Your Majesty, why are you drinking alcohol today?" ”
Guo Zhao's words suddenly made Cao Pi change color, and without saying a word, he poured down a glass of wine, and his sword eyebrows tightened as if he had moved a mountain between his foreheads.
Guo Zhao naturally knew what Cao Pi was worried about, and if he was stubborn, there might not be any good results. But as Pan Xue said, maybe this is a rare and excellent opportunity for herself.
Guo Zhao was ruthless, but he still spoke: "Your Majesty, Mrs. Zhen ......"
"Enough!"
Before the words began, Cao Pi looked at him and shouted. Guo Zhao's eyebrows sank, and cold sweat suddenly broke out in his palms.
"Your Majesty, the concubine knows that you don't like to hear it. But you can't let Mrs. Zhen's rumors disappear if you don't care......" Guo Zhao continued, although he was terrified in his heart, his eyes were unusually firm.
"Shut up! I don't want to hear it! I don't want to hear it now, and I won't hear anything about Zhen Mi again! Cao Pi slammed into the case, and the wine in his hand was pinched and gurgling.
One day, when he heard Guo Zhao mention Zhen Mi, Cao Pi was afraid that she would mention Chai Xuan in the next sentence. And the name Chai Xuan is the one he dares to face and hear the most. Thinking of this, Cao Pi was full of sadness. Why does this kind of tongue-in-cheek thing happen to me, one is my wife, and the other is the person I love the most.
"Okay, then the concubine will go and help Your Majesty solve such troubles, and never let Your Majesty be upset anymore!" Guo Zhao followed Cao Pi's words, stood up and held up the swaying Cao Pi, and said coldly.
"Okay, you go, go and solve the ...... Zhen Mi, don't, don't let me hear about her again! ”
At this moment, Cao Pi came out with a heartache and a headache. I only feel that Guo Zhao's words are reasonable, as long as it is solved, he can not see his ears, his ears and his heart will not be annoyed, and he will no longer have to borrow wine to kill his sorrows.
"Whoa!" Cao Pi's answer seemed to make Guo Zhao overjoyed, and he was excited to salute, "Your Majesty, since you let Zhao'er solve it, can you give a token, otherwise it will be difficult to convince the public!" ”
"Token, token......" Cao Pi frowned, shook his wine steps, looked around looking for the so-called token, vaguely saw the jade pendant pinned to his waist, and directly pulled it down and held it to Guo Zhao, "If you violate your order, there will be no forgiveness for killing!" ”
Looking at the swaying jade pendant in front of him, Guo Zhao was overjoyed in his heart, and couldn't help but be excited to take it, "The concubine has the order!" ”
Holding Cao Pi's jade pendant, Guo Zhao walked out of the hall as he wished. The phoenix eyes looked up at the whitening east, and couldn't help but be overjoyed when they looked at the vast palace and the majestic palace. As long as Zhen Mi is eliminated, there will be no one who can stand in the way in this harem. Although there is no chance to fall into Chai Xuan today, it may be enough to drag down a Zhen Mi.
Holding the jade pendant given by Cao Pi, as soon as the day dawned, Guo Zhao hurriedly summoned Guo Huai and ordered him to immediately take the holy oracle and go to Yecheng to give Zhen Mi death! Last night, she poured Cao Pi's wine in the middle of the night, presumably because she might not even go to Cao Pi today's morning. Therefore, it is necessary to wait until Cao Pi wakes up to issue this holy decree, otherwise it will be too late when Cao Pi reacts.
After receiving this order, Guo Huai was also excited. The two siblings looked at each other tacitly and smiled, complacent about the success of their plan.
On the way out of the palace, Guo Huai, who was full of joy, happened to bump into Wu Zhen, who hurriedly returned to the palace to resume his post. Wu Zhen saw that Guo Huai was in a hurry, so he stopped and asked, Guo Huai said that Zhen Mi was killed, and Wu Zhen was shocked when he heard it.
"What are you talking about, Your Majesty said that you want to give Mrs. Zhen to death!" Wu Zhen looked at Guo Huai in disbelief, for fear that there was something wrong with his ears and he didn't hear Guo Huai's words clearly.
"Yes, it was His Majesty who said it himself, and he didn't want to see Zhen Mi again, so he personally ordered her to be killed!" Guo Huai sighed twice, pretending to be incredulous, as if he was sighing for Zhen Mi's misfortune.
Wu Zhen stared at Guo Huai, who shook his head helplessly, and still couldn't believe it. Even if Cao Pi has no feelings for Zhen Mi, he will not be so ruthless, after all, Cao Rong and Cao Aya are still there. What's more, Cao Pi loves Cao Aya so much, how could he kill his biological mother.
"Guo Huai, are you really sure that this is Your Majesty's will!" Wu Zhen asked again.
Faced with Wu Zhen's questioning again, Guo Huai was a little impatient. This kind of thing can't be delayed, and in case of incident, wouldn't the previous efforts be in vain!
"If you don't believe it, General Zhenwei can ask Your Majesty in person. I'll take the first step, after all, the holy will is unbearable, take your leave! Guo Huai made a gesture towards Wu Qian, tightened the reins of the horse, and hurriedly turned over and got on the horse. With a wave of the whip, he rode away.
Looking at Guo Huai, who was leaving in pairs, Wu Zheng suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart. After pondering for a moment, he hurried into the palace.
In the soft gauze tent, Cao Pi was still asleep. Outside the Vermilion Hall, Wu Zhen hurriedly came with a dark face.
"I've seen General Zhenwei." Seeing Wu Zhen coming in a hurry, Ci Death hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.
"Your Majesty, I want to see Your Majesty!" Wu asked, and seemed to be very anxious in his words.
Cao Shu bowed slightly and replied, "Your Majesty was drunk last night, and he is still not awake at this time, and I ask the general to wait a moment." ”
"Still sleeping, when he wakes up, something big will happen!" Hearing that Cao Pi drank wine last night, relying on instinctive intuition, Wu Zhen felt a faint uneasiness in his heart. "No, now I have to see Your Majesty!"
Wu Zhen ignored Cao Shu's obstruction, and rushed directly past him and rushed into the door.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty Wu Zhen asks to see you!" The entire hall echoed Wu Qian's impatient shouts, and through the screen, Wu Zhen went straight to Cao Pi's sleeping couch, seeing that Cao Pi was still asleep, he was even more anxious! Directly stepped forward and dragged Cao Pi from sleep, and called out anxiously in his heart: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you are sober." ”
Cao Shu tensed his nerves and looked at Wu Zhen who was shaking Cao Pi in dismay. Even if Cao Pi treats Wu Zhen more than his own brother, this is a bit too much!
Cao Pi's sleepy eyes opened slightly, and when he saw that it was Wu Zhen in front of him, he grinned, "Wu Qian, come and drink with me!" ”
The strong smell of wine sprayed straight towards Wu Zhi, and his eyebrows tightened. Seeing that Cao Pi was about to fall asleep again, he directly helped him up. The anxious Wu Zhen took the tea that had been cold on the side of the couch and poured it directly to Cao Pi.
Cao Pi, who was hit by the ice, frowned on his forehead, and opened his eyes in a dream, as if he had a hangover and seemed to wake up most of the time. was about to get angry, but saw Wu Zhen hurriedly kneeling on the ground, his face was very anxious.
"Your Majesty, you ordered to kill Mrs. Zhen, but is it true?" Wu Zhen asked hurriedly.
Wu Zhen asked like this, but Cao Pi was stunned, "Kill Zhen Mi, when did I make such a will?" ”
"Your Majesty, the matter of the minister's entry into the palace happened to meet Guo Huai. Listen to what he said, you gave a piece of jade pendant to your concubine Niangniang, and asked your concubine Niangniang to pass on the holy decree according to your will, saying that you would give Mrs. Zhen to death! Wu said.
"What!" Wu Qian's words suddenly made Cao Pi's face change greatly. Sitting on the quilt, his expression suddenly became nervous. But at this time, he couldn't remember what he said last night, but he could still remember the matter of sending the jade pendant out.
Cao Pi twisted his forehead and frowned tightly. Panicked, "Not good...... Wu Zhen, you hurry up and take my will to avoid death and go and chase back that holy decree. If it's too late, I'll ...... Quick, go! "To protect Zhen Mi's life, he personally promised Chai Xuan. If he really broke his word, how should he face Chai Xuan.
Wu Zhen hurriedly received the order and hurried away, Cao Pi sat down back and stepped on it in a panic, and the whole person was shocked into a cold sweat. Mouth dry panting, remorseful.
