Compared with the endless gold and silver treasures in the second half of their lives, there are many people who are still willing to take risks. When you are in the world, don't you just want money, fame and fortune?

Cao Cao actually knew that they were doing some actions behind their backs, so he didn't break it down. Shame yourself and slap your son in the face. Turn a blind eye and let them go. It just so happened that he also wanted to see which son was more popular.

That being said, Cao Cao also has to start to watch out for the people around him. So now some of his inner words can only be said to Xiang Xia.

It's cold in high places, and this is true.

Cao Pi over there saw Guo Zhaofu retreating from his close ministers, and said with dissatisfaction: "Why did you let him go?" Why don't we ask carefully and let him come up with ideas for us? ”

"Who can guess the old man's thoughts, and he can't ask anything no matter how much he asks. Don't worry, it'll be fine. Guo Zhao's face was calm and light, and he had no worries and worries.

Cao Pi stared at her and walked away as if he was nothing. I couldn't help but have doubts in my heart.

In the night, another messenger came. It is said that Cao Cao summoned his cronies and ministers overnight and had secret matters to discuss. What secret thing can there be that needs to dispatch the cronies and ministers, it must be about the throne of the prince. If Cao Cao had made his own decisions, he would not have had to hold a night meeting. It seems that Cao Cao is also hesitating, so this also shows that Cao Pi has not been eliminated. Cao Pi still had a chance, but Cao Cao did not pursue the trouble on his head.

Only Cao Pi and Cao Zhi have the competitiveness for the big position, one side represents orthodoxy, and the other side represents the virtuous. No one else has any hope of inheriting, and the throne can only come from the two of them.

This is undoubtedly great news for Cao Pi.

He hadn't been happy for a long time, and suddenly thought of Guo Zhao's reaction during the day. He unconsciously walked to the door of her house, hesitated for a moment, and knocked on the door.

The door of the house was opened, and Guo Zhao didn't seem surprised when he saw that it was him: "You are here, do you want to go in and sit down." ”

Cao Pi looked worried, nodded and walked in, and asked, "Don't you be surprised that I came to you?" ”

It was unprecedented to know that he was willing to come to her.

Guo Zhao chuckled and shook his head. She poured him a cup of tea and pushed it in front of him.

"You know I'm going to look for you, don't you?"

"Yes."

"Guo Zhao, are you hiding something from me?" Cao Pi finally spoke and asked the confusion in his heart, "You tell me during the day, it will be fine." I'm just thinking you're comforting me, but just now someone came to inform me that the old man held a secret meeting in the middle of the night, and the people who were invited were either the old man's cronies, or the uncles of the older generation. ”

"Oh? It is related to the throne of the prince. Guo Zhao can also think of it.

"Not bad. This means that I am fine, and the old man has not given up on me yet. When he heard the news this morning, Cao Pi only felt like ashes. He thought that the throne of the prince was bound to be lost to him. I never thought that there would be a turning point in the night.

"The concubine is going to congratulate you." Guo Zhao brushed his body.

Cao Pi held her hand and stopped her: "No need. I just want to ask, how do you know it's going to be okay. ”

"Do you really want to know?"

"Nature."

After getting Cao Pi's answer, Guo Zhao walked outside the door and looked left and right for a while. When he saw that there was no one around, he closed the door tightly.

"Do you have some secrets hiding from me?" Seeing her so cautious, Cao Pi couldn't sit still.

"I only want to ask you, do you want the throne of the world." Guo Zhao's voice is deep but has strong penetrating power.

In the dark night, Cao Pi couldn't see Guo Zhao's face clearly. But through the faint hazy moonlight through the screen window, I could see her clear and firm eyes.

He thought, of course he wanted, he dreamed of it. This voice kept shouting in Cao Pi's heart.

"You ask me what I'm doing here." Cao Pi turned away and stopped looking at her. With such a secret heart, how could he easily confide in her. Even Zhen Mi, who slept with her every night, never mentioned it to her.

"Can't you trust me? Zihuan, we are husband and wife in the end. Our life and death, honor and disgrace are all linked, what do you have to worry about me? You ask yourself, am I not good enough for you, and I am not attentive enough to serve you on weekdays. Tell me what is in your heart. If you don't want to tell me, then I can't get back to you, just because I'm doing it for nothing. Guo Zhao sighed faintly.

"What do you mean by that?" Cao Pi frowned and looked back at her, "What do you mean to be busy for nothing?" What did you do behind my back? You tell me what the hell you've done. ”

"What about you, do you say it or not?" Guo Zhao's face is stubborn.

In my impression, Guo Zhao has always been along with his wishes, but it is rare to be like today. Cao Pi felt that the person in front of him was a little strange, or that he hadn't really understood her.

Cao Pi struggled in his heart for a while, clenched his fists and said gloomily: "I want it, of course I want it!" I've wanted it for a long time! ”

After saying this, Cao Pi's face changed. He seemed to realize the gaffe, and brought up the topic of his own: "I already told you." Guo Zhao, are you doing something behind my back and my mother? ”

It's not for nothing that he thinks so, Guo Zhao's circle is so big. It is impossible for her to participate in the front hall, she can only have something to do with her in the backyard. When I think of the backyard, I naturally think of Bian.

"If I say, I can help you get the throne you want. Can you believe it? ”

"What?" Cao Pi felt that he was being teased for a moment, and said in a contemptuous tone, "Guo Zhao, it's fun to fool me, isn't it?" ”

Guo Zhao walked up to him and confronted him: "You don't believe me? What am I fooling you with? Do I dare to fool you with such a big thing? Why am I always so hateful and lowly in your eyes? ”

Cao Pi saw that her expression was extremely serious, and her arguments were extremely fierce, and her heart was shaken. He began to believe that Guo Zhao might have said something like that, "Guo Zhao, why can you help me." The mothers who could help me the most abandoned me and chose to build their sons. Seriously, I don't have much hope for myself. You are a woman, and you are not as good as your mother's connections, power and prestige, how can you help me? ”

"Yes, I can't. But Xia's she can, Mrs. Xia's she can. ”

"She?" Cao Pi thought of her. He thought about it for a moment, and his emotions became excited, "Will she help me?" I didn't have much to do with her, and I even offended her once. ”

"I'm not sure about it, will I tell you? I don't want you to take the risk with me. Guo Zhao couldn't help but blurt out.

Cao Pi was stunned, his heart seemed to be poked by something. He lowered his head, a crimson on his face.

Guo Zhao was also embarrassed, and she changed the conversation: "Mrs. Xia, she owes me a favor, and she is not on good terms with her mother. She also saw that her mother had the intention of supporting the third brother, so she was willing to help you and help us. ”

"Really?" Cao Pi was overjoyed and excitedly put his hand on Guo Zhao's shoulder.

Guo Zhao was stunned, and said: "I agreed with Mrs. Xia in person, how can it be fake." It's just that she can't help us in vain, and she can use us sometimes. ”

"It's human nature, and that's how it should be. What she asked us to do for her. Cao Pi's tone was full of excitement. Being able to get Xia's help is more important than getting my mother's help.

Father's love for the Xia family can be described as covering all the ladies in the backyard. If she could say a few kind words for herself in front of her father, it would be more effective than anything else. Not to mention that it is rare for my mother to see my father a few times now, and my mother's ten words may not be worth Xia's one. Xia is a woman who is not easy to mess with, and he has already learned it. If she can suppress her mother's power in the backyard, as long as he is in the front hall, he will also win the hearts of the people......

Cao Pi regained his self-confidence, and he was bound to fight for the throne of the world.

"I'm afraid it's inconvenient for me to say this. She also doesn't like to talk too much, and Mrs. Xia's temperament is not quite the same as that of other ladies. If she knows, I'm afraid she will be unhappy. In short, the woman's family should not be a big deal. Guo Zhao avoided this question.

"Yes, you're right. As long as she can help me, no, help us, we should do our best to repay her. Cao Pi was so excited that his body trembled slightly.

Guo ...... Zhao, I shouldn't have underestimated you. I didn't expect you and Mrs. Xia to get along very well, so Mrs. Xia will ask you in the future. ”

"This is what a concubine should do."

"Ah Zhao, if I can really ascend to the throne of the world in the future. I promise you that I will make you the main room. Cao Pi patted her on the shoulder solemnly.

It took a long time for Guo Zhao to react. At this time, Cao Pi had already left, and Guo looked at the door that had been opened, and the moonlight that was falling. touched the shoulder that he had just patted again, the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised, and then murmured: "Ah Zhao, Ah Zhao......"

Who will you choose

After the secret meeting, Cao Cao came to Xia Qing Pavilion in the dark.

"The subordinates ask you more, who do you like among the two sons." It was Cui Qingshui's voice.

"It's not a question of who I'm optimistic about. The mandate of heaven has its own belonging, and it has long been decided. ”

"My subordinates don't understand."

Xiang Xia said solemnly: "Providence is measurable, but it can't be revealed." ”

Cao Cao pushed the door in, and the faces of the master and servant changed, and they were silent.

"Why don't you speak?" Cao Cao sat down lazily as if he had nothing to do.

"It's so late, why are you still running to me?"

"Didn't Lonely say that he wanted to come to you for the night?" Cao Cao sneered.

"I thought you were joking." Speak coldly to Summer.

"Lone is not joking. Don't keep a straight face, smile more. Cao Cao stretched out his hand to fiddle with her cheeks, but was ruthlessly opened by Xiang Xia.

"I didn't promise to keep you."

By implication, you might as well go.

Cao Cao ignored her, walked to the edge of the bed by himself, and fell down again with his hands and feet, which was called comfortable: "I'm lonely and tired, I'm too lazy to move around." And it was so late, and the ladies were all asleep, and they couldn't bear to bother. ”
