Chapter 42: Why did the master fall apart?

Wan Yan Jing felt a little remorse in her heart, and her stomach was hungry at this time.

Soon after her morning exercise, she was arrested and put in prison without eating breakfast.

Knowing that the food in the prison was so wonderful, she wouldn't have scolded Gao Tingwei.

It's not worth it, it's not worth it, it's not worth it.

Cao Liqing munched on the fatty but not greasy braised pork, with an excellent appetite, don't look at him at a young age or a literati, but he pays attention to health preservation and has always been in good health.

"Great goodness, if there is more wine, it will be even more beautiful." Mr. Cao was full of food and drink, and took the tea handed by the jailer to rinse his mouth.

Wan Yanjing rolled her eyes:

"Wouldn't it be more fragrant to eat meat at home if you don't toss so many things?"

Cao Liqing said leisurely: "I have worries at home, and I can't be at ease." ”

"You are always uneasy and want to come to the prison to eat and drink spicy food, I have no opinion, but why do you want to bring me in?" Wan Yan sat up and asked.

"My Dajin royal family members have all been martyred except for the princess, and Your Royal Highness has endured humiliation and lived for many years, it's time to be relieved."

Cao Liqing's words were ridiculing Yan Jing for not living with a cheeky skin, a little bit of the integrity of the Dajin royal family.

Wan Yanjing was irritable, she had heard this a lot over the years, but she didn't expect Cao Liqing to think the same way.

"The royal family was martyred, heh, why do you emphasize the female family, isn't I the only one left in the Dajin royal family? Could it be that in addition to my daughters, one of my not very smart brothers and sisters is also living? ”

Cao Lao was silent.

"The imperial examination is a rebellion, and Cao Lao, you are also finding another way. Also, the court strictly guards the old officials of Jin, Chen, and Qi, and you literati can't even pull a bow, and you have no money to recruit troops and horses, so you can only follow some crooked ways. Wan Yan Jing sneered.

Cao Lao was silent.

Wan Yanjing continued: "Rebellion is a big crime of the nine clans, Cao Lao, your big family, four generations in the same house, but unfortunately from now on, your branch will be broken." ”

Cao Liqing's face still did not change: "Don't bother the princess." ”

Wan Yanjing's eyebrows furrowed.

Cao Liqing in her impression, or not only her, in the impression of all students, is Mount Tai Beidou, a mountain-like existence, he is committed to research, meticulous, but not inflexible rotten Confucian.

Everyone is recognized as a person of noble character, but now why has his personality collapsed?

A scholar like Cao Liqing cares about nothing more than those few things, the name behind him, the righteousness of his family and country, and the safety of his relatives.

Even if it involves rebellion, she is still a woman in the name of the princess and Princess Wuxuan, and she may not be able to have any big deals.

But Cao Liqing will definitely die.

She still remembers that many years ago, Cao Liqing's second son died unexpectedly, and Lord Cao's white-haired man sent the black-haired man, and he didn't drink or eat for a few days and nights.

Cao Liqing cares a lot about her family and heirs, but she used her family to test him just now, but she didn't react.

There can only be two possibilities, what Cao Liqing is doing now can ensure the safety of his family.

First, Cao Liqing's family was coerced, and he had to do these things for the safety of his family.

The second is that the people behind the scenes vouched for Cao Liqing, which can ensure that his family is safe and sound, and can even live better than before.

Wan Yanjing quickly ruled out the first option, if Cao Liqing's family was held hostage, he would not say anything like being uneasy at home.

Cao Liqing is voluntary, and he thinks what he's doing so far can earn him a great reputation.

Thinking about this, Wan Yanjing quickly changed her strategy.

She lowered her voice, and when she listened closely, she seemed to be choking with force.

She no longer calls herself the palace, and her address to Cao Lao has changed from Mr. to a more cordial and respectful master.

"The master grew up watching Ah Mi, didn't you say that Ah Mi is the smartest among the royal children, far better than the royal brothers, but unfortunately he is not a man. But Ah Mi only felt that she was dull now, and she couldn't guess the master's intentions at all. The Master might as well teach the dull Ah Mi again, why is this the case? ”

"The master is right, Ah Mi is cheeky and has survived so far, but if it weren't for Ah Mi's support over the years, how could I still be a Jinren official, and I would have been unbearable to return to my hometown. The master is now attacking and framing me with a gift list, and Ah Mi is a mortal, and he is aggrieved and unwilling. I just ask the master to take pity on Ah Mi, reveal one or two, and tell Ah Mi to be a ghost after he dies. ”

"Is Ah Mi annoying and getting in the way of some people, or is Ah Mi unknowingly part of the plan?"

Cao Liqing's expression was complicated, and he couldn't help but be moved when he touched Yan Jing's mournful eyes.

He was slightly distracted, his eyes gradually distant, as if he recalled the peaceful time when he taught and taught at Dajin Taixue, and finally he said to her helplessly: "The princess will not live forever, you might as well die as you deserve." ”

Wan Yanjing struggled to maintain the innocent and blank expression on her face, but a rolling wave was set off in her heart.

Cao Liqing agrees with her second point of view.

First, she is part of the plan of the people behind the scenes.

Second, she didn't live long, she was framed for being involved in a rebellion case and became a pawn in the plan of the people behind the scenes, and Cao Liqing thought she had died as she deserved.

Cao Liqing was the third person to predict her imminent death.

The first one is Huang Shaolan, she heard it from Zuo Xiangzi.

The second is the old fortune teller of the street glutinous rice stalls.

The third is Cao Liqing in front of him.

There was still half of it before that, and Wang Xiaolan said that she might encounter more trouble than Huo Xiang.

She originally thought that what threatened her life was the poisonous Gu that had to be questioned whether it existed or not, but if Cao Liqing thought that she would die from the ingestion of the poisonous Gu, but Huo Xiang had woken up, and the world knew that based on this alone, Cao Liqing would not make the judgment that she would "live forever".

If you want to know the truth, I'm afraid you have to pry it from Cao Liqing's mouth.

How can I get Cao Liqing to tell her?

Wan Yanjing felt a little brain pain.

An afternoon passed, and Wan Yanjing saw that the jailer had brought a more luxurious dinner than at noon, and even an extra pot of wine brewed by a famous restaurant in Shangjing.

And her side is empty.

Looking at Cao Liqing, who was feasting happily, Wan Yanjing was hurt by 10,000 points.

-----------------

At the gate of Wuxuan Palace, two red lanterns were hung.

Huo Xiang got off the carriage without a smile on his face, and he couldn't see that he was very happy.

Steward Zhang greeted him and glared at Huo Xiang.

Huo Xiang raised his eyebrows and said lightly: "Lao Zhang, is this eye muscle twitching?" ”

He shouted naturally, and this scene seemed familiar.

Huo Xiang paused, feeling as if he had dreamed of this scene in a dream.

Steward Zhang didn't notice his abnormality, and followed with a "hi", trying to remind Huo Xiang.

"That's it, what ......?"

Lao Zhang's voice suddenly disappeared.

Huo Xianghu glanced at him suspiciously, but saw Steward Zhang brushing his mustache and looking up at the sky.

"Husband, you're back~~"

A coquettish female voice suddenly sounded, and a woman in a pink dress appeared at the end of the road.
