Chapter 51: A Wisp of Incense Has Returned
The huge palace seemed to be quiet and terrifying, Cao Pi walked back and forth in the hall anxiously, and everyone stared with bated breath, for fear that they would anger Cao Pi if they were not careful.
In the past few days since Wu Zhen left, there has been no news back, and Cao Pi is waiting anxiously. According to the distance from Luoyang to Yecheng, there should be a reply, so why there is no news for a long time.
"Slave and maid see Your Majesty~"
Cao Shu bent over and came in a hurry, but before he could salute, he was anxiously pulled up by Cao Pi. Impatiently asked, "How, is there any news?" ”
Cao Shu hurriedly took out the letter in his hand and gave it to Cao Pi, Cao Pi saw this, took it over, and unfolded it in a hurry. Before he could believe it, Cao Pi's face was already white.
The palms of his hands trembled slightly, and Cao Pi's heels were weak, and he almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Cao Shu firmly supported him behind him, so he didn't lose his demeanor.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" Looking at the letters falling to the ground, as well as Cao Pi's disastrous face and lips, Cao Shu's heart suddenly panicked.
"Zhen Mi...... Dead ......"
Cao Pi was dumb and choked, and his mind was blank when he spit out four words. He never thought that he would lose Zhen Mi one day, let alone that it was still an order to give death from his own mouth.
Cao Pi's words also made Cao Shu stunned, and the hands holding Cao Pi began to stiffen.
Cao Pi, whose face was like earth, was stunned and carried his steps as if they had been filled with lead, moved to the edge of his seat little by little, and suddenly collapsed to the ground. His eyes were heavy and staring blankly at the air in front of him, and his lips were white.
"Your Majesty......" Cao Shu, who wanted to stop talking, called softly.
"Let's all go down, I want to be alone." Cao Pi's eyes were closed, and he waved his hand at the people who were serving around him, signaling them all to retreat.
Listening to Cao Pi's stunned and lost tone, Cao Shu also had mixed feelings in his heart, bowed down, and led everyone to retreat silently.
The door of the hall was closed, and the whole room was silent for a while, and Cao Pi, who was sitting on the soft couch, was even more regretful in his heart. The smoke from the incense burner at the table dispersed, making everything go into a trance.
"Your Majesty~"
The delicate sound was in his ears, and Cao Pi suddenly looked back. In the haze, it seems to see the beautiful woman who captivated the country and the city back then.
The first time I saw Zhen Mi in Yuan Shao's mansion, she appeared in front of her with pear blossoms and rain. It seems that the morning dew has hit the new lotus, and the beauty is incomprehensible. Just a glance at the clear water-like eyes is enough to make people's hearts ripple and never forget.
Young and frivolous, he made a promise to protect her as soon as he opened his mouth. didn't know that Cao Cao had already targeted Zhen Mi at that time, but because of Yuan Shao's old people and his mother Bian's secret methods, Cao Cao had no choice but to give Zhen Mi to Cao Pi. Throwing an obstacle at him is more like throwing him a solid baggage.
The only remaining ambiguous heart for Zhen Mi also dissipated cleanly because of his father's marriage letter. But he still tried his best to protect Zhen Mi and fulfill his original promise to her. However, the two who originally respected each other began to be estranged little by little due to some political reasons. In particular, the rumors between her and Cao Zhi have become the last sword of love between them.
Cao Pi was both annoyed and heartbroken, regretting that he kept promising Chai Xuan that he would not kill Zhen Mi no matter what, but now that he has lost his trust, how should he face her. The pain is that he never thought of killing her, he just hoped that he would not be out of sight and out of mind, but he didn't expect to take Zhen Mi's life because of his good words!
Poor and infatuated with empty love, but was hated by treacherous schemes; A wisp of incense has returned, leaving a poignant remainder alone.
In Changyi Palace, the sound of the piano is curling and peaceful.
"Zhaoyi, it's not good, something is wrong!"
Suddenly, a sharp and thin voice pierced through the entire palace. I saw Lu Fu panting and hurriedly rushing from the door, his red little face full of panic.
The sound of the piano stopped abruptly, a pair of clear eyes slowly raised, the soft willow-like eyebrows twisted slightly, and whispered: "Green Float, what's wrong, why are you so panicked?" ”
Looking at Qiu Ling's calm appearance, the words came to his lips but he hesitated. Although Qiu Ling has never paid attention to the affairs of this harem, he is only nervous about Zhen Mi's affairs. Lu Fu was afraid that once he said what he had just heard, Qiu Ling would not have any radical reaction.
"Green Fu, what's wrong with you today, it's okay to be blunt!" Looking at Lu Fu's expression, Qiu Ling faintly felt that something was wrong.
After struggling for a long time, Lu Fu still felt that it was better to say it. After all, even if you don't say it, it will always hear the wind about such a big thing.
"Zhaoyi, Mrs. Zhen, she ...... She was given death by His Majesty! Green Fu tugged at his sleeves and stammered tremblingly.
This remark is in the ears, like thunder! Qiu Ling's mind was suddenly blank, and she collapsed on the table, her face like ashes.
Seeing that Qiu Ling suddenly became like this, Lu Fu was also frightened. With a layer of tears in his eyes, he stepped forward in a panic and said nervously: "Zhaoyi, are you okay?" ”
The originally calm jade face turned his head to look at the green float with no blood, and his eyes were as if he had lost half of his soul. "Green float, you, what are you talking about......... How could this be ......" Qiu Ling stared at Lu Fu in disbelief, tugging at her sleeves, her eyes red.
Who is Zhen Mi, she is Cao Pi's wife and Cao Ei's biological mother. Even if Cao Pi doesn't talk about the relationship between husband and wife, he should be open to Zhen Mi for the sake of the two children, how can he ......
"Zhaoyi, everyone didn't believe it at first. However, today I heard that Duke Qi entered the palace angrily to avenge his mother's grievances, and his words were too fierce, which angered His Majesty, and His Majesty was angry and wanted to send Cao Rong to Dali Temple! Lu Fu said nervously, and his arm was also hurt by Qiu Ling's grasp.
Qiu Ling instantly fell to the ground like a balloon out of breath, desperate. Tears poured down like beads. "Why, why is Cao Pi so ruthless...... his voice was sad, crying and complaining.
"Zhaoyi, Your Majesty's name can't be called! Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about Cao Lin's little son! Green Fu said with tears in his eyes.
The grief-stricken Qiu Ling already hated Cao Pi at this time. At the beginning, in order to curry favor with Cao Pi, her family did not hesitate to cut off the relationship between her and her sweetheart, and even committed suicide by throwing herself into the river if she harmed the person she liked.
At the beginning, I was bent on death, but I didn't care about my body. originally thought that it would be good to fend for herself, but Zhen Mi appeared. When she was seriously ill, she was the only one who was by her side. If there is no Zhen Mi, there will be no rest of his life.
It wasn't until later that Cao Pi came to Luoyang and was brought with him, but he was thinking about Zhen Mi who was far away in Yecheng every day. Knowing that Zhen Mi and Cao Pi are becoming more and more estranged, he has never been willing to pay attention to any harem affairs, and he has also begun to pay attention to who is more favored. He also tried his best to get close to Cao Pi, hoping that his meager strength could help Zhen Mi. But I've done so much, but I still haven't counted it to this day.
"No, if you really enter Dali Temple, then the princess will really be finished!" Qiu Ling stood up in a daze, her eyes full of hatred. Now that Zhen Mi is dead, Cao Ei is her only hope, and she will never allow him to have another accident.
"But, what can we do, in the current situation, no one will help him!"
Lu Fu looked at Qiu Ling worriedly, for fear that she would do something stupid in her hot head. Now the entire palace is afraid of Cao Rong, and who will take the risk of dying to intercede with Cao Pi.
"No, there is another person ......" Qiu Ling slowly stood up, wiped the tears on her face fiercely, and her eyes were full of determination.
So far, she can only block it.
The noisy Changxuan Palace on weekdays has been deserted for a few days. Without Chai Xuan's tossing, Xiaoman and the others suddenly felt that the entire palace was very boring.
At this time, Chai Xuan was sitting on her simple seesaw, her eyes glazed and her eyes were glazed. And the other end of the seesaw was hanging high, and Yuan Rui was sitting in the air honestly with a nerve, not daring to move. First, Yuan Rui was afraid that he would hurt Chai Xuan if he moved, and secondly, he was also afraid that he would fall.
And under Yuan Rui, Xingqing was looking at Yuan Rui with his neck and sighed secretly, fortunately, it was Yuan Rui who went up just now, not himself. Otherwise, I must have been scared at this time.
Yuan Rui frowned and looked down at Xingqing on the ground, signaling him to quickly change Chai Xuan's god back. Ke Xingqing helplessly loosened his shoulders and shook his head. In the past few days, in order to relieve her emotions, Chai Xuan will pop up with a new idea every three seconds.
What kind of landlord was he fighting two days ago, and if he lost, he played his braincase, and his head still hurts when he was shot. Later, what was better than fists and feet, but who here can compare to Chai Xuan. Xiao Man Rongzhi will not go up, only himself and Yuan Rui will be hard-headed. Chai Xuan obviously said that his subordinates would be merciful, but as a result, the bones were about to fall apart. Finally landed a relatively high safety factor, what a seesaw, isn't this Yuan Rui hung in the air.
If he stepped forward at this time, if he aimed at himself again, then his small body would really be wasted.
But then again, Chai Xuan, who has been grounded in the past few days, is either in a daze or sighing, and the frowning brows are almost catching up with the old lady who is over sixty years old, and everyone is at a loss to see it.
"Nobleman!"
Xiao Man's voice suddenly came, which made Chai Xuan's nerves tense, and she withdrew from the seesaw and ran towards Xiao Man excitedly. But forget Yuan Rui who is still in the air. The head suddenly emptied, and Yuan Rui was caught off guard. Boom, straight down! Before the oops screamed out of his throat, the whole person had been slapped to the ground!
What I didn't expect was Xingqing, who was standing below Yuan Rui, who directly became Yuan Rui's back, and the bones all over his body were trembling, especially Xingqing's waist was even more painful.
Chai Xuan, who didn't know what was going on behind her, looked at Xiao Man expectantly, "From time to time, there is news from Your Majesty?" ”
Looking at Chai Xuan's sparkling eyes full of hope, Xiao Man was a little unbearable. They were confined to this Changxuan Palace at this time, and even if they sharpened their heads, they couldn't find out any valuable information, let alone let Cao Pi come. Xiao Man sighed helplessly and shook his head in some frustration.
Chai Xuan, who got the response, suddenly felt like a bucket of cold water had been splashed, and her smile disappeared instantly, and she turned around and sat on the hard and cold stone bench in frustration.
Damn Cao Pi, what kind of boyfriend is it. It's okay to doubt yourself, and don't listen to your own explanation. I've been locked up in this place all day, and I'm about to suffocate to death!
Chai Xuan complained secretly with annoyed eyes, puffing out her cheeks and angrily kicking the grass next to her to get angry, indignant.
"Nobleman, Qiu Ling asks to see!"
With a shout, he passed through the Zhu Gate. The startled Chai Xuan suddenly got together, frowning between her eyebrows.
