The East Garden bedroom is very large.

On the left side of the window, there is a carved Ruyi lotus entwined branch Arhat bed, and the yellow rosewood flowers stand together in the spring vase.

Cao Feiyan entered the back room and raised her hand to let the two maids who were waiting in front of the couch go down.

Xiangye seems to have just fallen asleep, his brows are worried, and he can't sleep steadily.

According to the official announcement, when they were ambushed by horse bandits and bandits, it must have been for the purpose of robbing money and sex, or extortion after kidnapping.

But in fact, all the belongings and family members were safely evacuated from the valley, and not a single part was returned safely.

Dozens of carriages and horses, only one Cao Zhijun with mediocre martial arts, and ten government soldiers to escort them.

If the horse bandits really want to rob money or kidnap, it is completely effortless.

Oddly enough, they didn't.

Obviously, the so-called ambush of horse bandits and bandits is nothing more than covering their ears and stealing bells, and their real purpose is to intercept and kill Cao Yanchun.

The manipulators behind the scenes are by no means ordinary horse bandits and bandits.

Thinking of this, Cao Feiyan exhaled a few breaths, her chest rose and fell slightly, and her tender white hands helped Xiang Ye pull the brocade quilt.

Her long hair hung down on her plump chest, and her skirt was yellow and delicate.

Xiangye's face is getting haggard day by day, his body is thin and thin, and his hair is almost white.

Cao Feiyan was a little sad and sad when she saw it.

She never thought that her father, who was usually tall and straight, dignified, strong and powerful, would suddenly fall.

I didn't expect that my father was also a strong outsider, and he was defeated in the face of the prince who was armed with a strong imperial power.

There's nothing to think about now, otherwise, you'll die faster.

If her father wants to save her father and the Cao family is protected, she will fight for her life and have to hold on.

Cao Feiyan would never watch the Cao family fall into ruin, otherwise, she would be the queen for nothing.

The beaded curtain curtain hangs down gently, and the bonsai on the flower table stands upright.

Time was slowly passing, and she quietly guarded her pale, unconscious father, without saying a word.

Concubine Zhao Ji led two maids into the house with a delicate copper basin, which was filled with steaming warm water, and she held a towel in her hand.

They saluted Cao Feiyan, and Zhao Ji said, "Niangniang, it's time for the slave to wipe the master's cheeks and body." ”

This Zhao Ji is Xiang Ye's most favored concubine at present.

Cao Feiyan bowed slightly, got up and stepped aside.

She sat on the Luohan bed, leaning on the small case, her delicate posture was graceful, and she slowly poured a cup of freshly brewed tea with her slender hands and took a sip.

Oh, the tea is too hot.

The queen stroked her soft chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

The splendid handkerchief with two butterflies flying was pinched in the palm of his hand and wiped his thin lips.

Since Zou Baichuan has already explained the fact that the Cao Mansion smuggled weapons in the Western Regions and privately built the Four Seas Money Village, then the prince will definitely go to face the saint in the next few days.

Last night, Jia Gongwang told her that the branch of Sihai Qianzhuang in the capital was in Caofu.

The other dozen or so branches distributed across the country all issued eagle warnings at the first time, almost two days before the prince gave the order.

The prince's secret guard is estimated to be in the air and unable to catch other physical and human evidence.

In other words, Zou Baichuan's confession of Cao Fu's smuggling of ordnance and private establishment of an underground bank is currently only lone evidence.

Of course, Cao Fu did not admit it.

Let's just say that all this was done by Zou Baichuan in collusion with the Western Turk Heluke.

Zou Baichuan took a bite back, there must have been a behind-the-scenes instigation to protect himself.

Mudicate the water.

As long as Emperor Jiye did not issue a holy decree, the crown prince could not openly act against Caofu.

Moreover, now that the queen is living in Cao's mansion, it is even more impossible for the prince to act rashly.

Cao Feiyan decided to go to the Zichen Hall of Daming Palace early tomorrow morning to face the saint, so that the prince's accusations would not be established.

The prince is wise, smart and arrogant, Cao Feiyan only now understands that he can't touch him at all, and he can't coax him.

He was just obsessed with her body, and he would take care of her face, but it was impossible to make him listen to her completely.

He can do anything for the sake of the throne.

Emperors are all ruthless, how can they live if they want their ministers to die?

This made it difficult for her to do it.

Cao Feiyan gently held her forehead and sighed.

Cao Fu must not have another accident, and she must not be impatient and flustered.

At this time, Xiangye's voice suddenly sounded, weak and weak, "Swallow..."

He looked haggard, and his personal concubine Zhao Ji sat next to him and wiped his sweat on his forehead with a towel himself.

Seeing this, the other two maids took the basin and left.

Cao Feiyan hurriedly got up and walked to him, held his outstretched dry hand and said, "Father, the swallow is here, don't worry." ”

"Swallow... Your eldest brother died so miserably..."

Cao Qichang slowly half-propped up the bed with his hand and coughed several times, "There are people in the court who want the Cao clan to be wiped out quickly!" ”

As he spoke, he burst into tears.

In a few months, the old father will be sixty years old, and his life will be rich and glorious, but in the end, it will be the white-haired man who sends the black-haired man.

Sad, lamentable!

Cao Feiyan also choked up sadly.

After a while, she sat on the edge of the bed, wiped away her tears, and whispered:

"Father, please rest assured, there are swallows in the house, and the Cao family will never be in trouble, let alone be wiped out, in the future, I will live in the Cao Mansion and not return to the palace, see who dares to come to the door."

"Everything in the house is in charge of me, there is Mr. Jia externally, there are ten thousand housekeepers inside, the corpses of the eldest brother and other government soldiers, etc., I have ordered Qi Su to go and let him take the sister-in-law and them back by the way."

"I will discuss other matters with Mr. Jia, it will be done, you can recuperate with peace of mind, don't be excited, sad and sad, everything here is left to Yanzi."

Because Zhao Ji was by her side, Cao Feiyan looked at her father's face, and it was inconvenient for her to avoid it, so she didn't talk much.

And Cao Qichang didn't dare to accuse the prince by name in front of his daughter.

After all, it is an indisputable fact that Yanzi has a close relationship with the crown prince.

He only dared to say that there were people in the DPRK.

The two of them were like playing dumb riddles, but both sides could understand it.

Hearing that the queen was going to live in Cao's Mansion for a long time, Cao Qichang put most of his heart down.

As long as the queen calms down to deal with the crown prince, the Cao family is safe for the time being.

"One more thing, that is, your eldest nephew Zewei, he... His whereabouts are still unknown, you have to get him back, he is the next head of our Cao family. ”

Cao Qichang's words couldn't be clearer.

He can't trust the two sons of Yan Xia and Yan Qiu, and is ready to hand over the family authority directly to the eldest grandson, hoping to get the support of the queen.

"I understand my father, I will definitely send someone out to find him, and I will not allow anyone to hurt him, please rest assured." Cao Feiyan actually had such an idea, which coincided with her father, and of course she agreed.

"Good!"

Cao Qichang finally had a smile.

This is equivalent to an oral will, the transfer of the family scepter, and the guardian is the queen's mother.

In the house, the small jade lacquerware screen is folded and placed, the iron wood shelf is used for clothes, the basin on the basin rack is filled with hot water, and the towel is floating in the water.

Cao Feiyan gently pressed Xiangye's shoulder, let him lie back on the bed, and said softly:

"Father doesn't have to worry, the eldest nephew has grown up, he will definitely be safe, the Cao family has many friends, and others are smart and will definitely protect themselves."
