Cao Chao continued: "The prince said, if these people come, pretend to apologize and admit their mistakes, and ask for your forgiveness, you must not believe them, let alone tell them what is happening now, they are here under the orders of Sima Shi!" ”

Empress Dowager Guo took a deep breath, "I know, you go back and tell the prince, I will drive them away, and I will never trust this group of traitors again." ”

Cao Chao was overjoyed and hurriedly said yes.

At this moment, the old man Guo suddenly walked in and said, "Queen Mother, General Xuande has come to visit." ”

Cao Chao was stunned.

Are they really coming??

When Empress Dowager Guo heard this, she was furious, "It's really as the prince said!" They're here to find out what's real!! So go and give credit to their new master!! ”

"Send someone to drive them away!! Never let them rely on"

"Mother! Wait! ”

Cao Chao suddenly interrupted the Queen Mother.

Empress Dowager Guo was interrupted by Cao Chao, and a trace of displeasure flashed in her eyes, "What?" ”

Cao Chao hurriedly said: "Mother, they must have been sent by Sima Shi, you might as well see what Sima Shi has planned, as the saying goes, know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles."

Cao Chao wasn't sure why these people came, he also wanted to see the other party's intentions.

Empress Dowager Guo thought about it and felt that what Cao Chao said was also reasonable, so she changed her words and asked Guo's husband to invite them in.

Soon, Guo Li and Guo Zhi appeared in the palace.

When he saw Cao Chao, Guo Li's eyes were full of resentment, but he quickly put it away.

And let you be arrogant for a moment, sooner or later you will regret it!

Guo Li hurriedly looked at the queen mother on the throne and respectfully saluted and greeted.

"Queen Mother!"

Empress Dowager Guo snorted coldly, "General Xuande is here, what's the matter?" ”

"Why is the Queen Mother so ruthless, we are blood relatives after all, blood is thicker than water!"

"If we have any offense against you, it is also for the sake of the Queen Mother, if the Queen Mother thinks that our thoughts are wrong, the order is, why do you want to treat us like this?"

Guo immediately put himself in the victim's position and began to complain.

Cao Chao was shocked.

Damn, it's good that I've been separated for the past few days!

They really went to find the Sima family, if it weren't for the order of the Sima family, could he Guo Li be so docile? According to his usual personality, even if he wants to ease the relationship, he will not do this, unless someone allows Yili!

And the person who can promise him benefits can only be the Sima family!

But if you are lax and careless in the past few days and don't stir up trouble in time, then something big will happen.

What kind of person is Empress Dowager Guo, Cao Chao knows best.

If it weren't for the "prince" telling her that these people were sent by the Sima family to deceive her, given her character, she was afraid that as soon as they admitted their mistakes, they would immediately forgive, and then tell them the truth about Wang Xiang.

In this way, Wang Xiang and himself will be killed by her.

Is this Sima Shi making a move??

No, if he made a move, it shouldn't be so simple, Guo Li's contrast is too great, even if the Queen Mother can't see it, how can we not see it?

Is it Sima Zhao?

Cao Chao didn't continue to think about whose thoughts this was, he had already begun to think about how to use the people in front of him.

Empress Dowager Guo looked at the people in front of her indifferently, and her heart was even more angry.

Their pitiful appearance made Empress Dowager Guo even more angry, if it wasn't for the prince's timely notification, wouldn't she be deceived by them?

How dare they be their enemies!!

Cao Chao suddenly got up and said helplessly: "No matter what my mother says, she is also her own relatives, I think, you should forgive them." ”

Empress Dowager Guo was stunned and looked at Cao Chao in astonishment.

Cao Chao turned his back to Guo Li, looked at the Queen Mother, and blinked quickly.

Empress Dowager Guo was thoughtful and looked at Guo Li and Guo Zhi in front of her again.

Guo Li didn't expect that Cao Chao would actually plead for himself, which didn't change his opinion of Cao Chao, he just mocked Cao Chao's stupidity in his heart, such a pig and dog, he also deserves to go against General Zhengxi?

"Well, after all, it's my own clansmen, the two middle fathers, let's get up."

Empress Dowager Guo opened her mouth and said, Guo Li hurriedly got up and wiped away the tears that didn't exist, "Thank you Empress Dowager!" ”

Guo Zhi also spoke: "I will definitely do my best to assist the Queen Mother!" ”

Empress Dowager Guo nodded, but she was not as close as before.

Guo Li couldn't help but ask: "Queen Mother, what do you think about these days?"

Guo Zhi was startled and interrupted him first, "What's on your mind? ”

"Queen Mother, we heard that you have been sullen for the past few days, summoning many ministers to inquire about state affairs, but what is on your mind?"

Empress Dowager Guo shook her head, "I don't have anything on my mind, I'm just a little tired, the two middle fathers should go back first, you can come back another day." ”

Guo Li was still a little displeased, but he didn't say much, and left here with Guo Zhi.

After they left, Empress Dowager Guo looked at Cao Chao.

She was a little puzzled, "Why do you want to keep them?" ”

"Mother, they were sent by Sima Shi, you just saw it, General Xuande was about to ask you what you thought, it seems that the Sima family is also starting to be afraid of you, they are afraid that you will get more help from ministers!"

Empress Dowager Guo suddenly realized, and asked, "But what does this have to do with leaving them?" ”

"Mother, we can mislead them!"

"They are here to find out what we are doing, and if they give them false information"

Cao Chao grinned, "Wouldn't it be possible to let the Sima family eat the dog?" ”

Empress Dowager Guo's eyes lit up, and she finally figured it out.

"Good idea! I'll let them come back now, and I'll just say that the bell will let me do it!" ”

Cao Chao was stunned for a moment, and said quietly: "Mother is wise!" ”

"This will definitely make Sima Shi start to doubt Zhonghui and let them kill each other!!"

"However, if you tell them easily, won't the Sima family not believe it? Mother might as well let them wait a little longer, pretend to be reconciled, and then tell them secretly! ”

Empress Dowager Guo was overjoyed and immediately decided to follow Cao Chao's idea.

Cao Chao walked out of the Zhaoyang Palace, his eyes full of helplessness.

Who are the people you come into contact with all day and night, who will Zhong be, Sima Shi's ironcore, Sima Shi is not dead, can you separate him? ?

However, the queen mother's temperament is getting bigger and bigger, let her do it if she wants to, and it won't affect her deployment anyway.

When will I be able to meet my normal allies?

Cao Chao raised his head and looked at the south again.

My great general, Biqiu Jian

My fierce general, Wen Yang

When will I see you?

If Wen Yang was guarding the door of his palace, he would definitely sleep soundly, right?

Maybe never have insomnia again?

Where are all my henchmen?

"Your Majesty!!"

One person's chanting interrupted Cao Chao's fantasy, Cao Chao turned his head, but saw Sima Yan waving his hand excitedly, his face full of joy.

Another unreliable one is coming

Sima Yan hurriedly walked to Cao Chao's side, he looked at Cao Chao in front of him, and suddenly grinned.

This look is very weird.

Cao Chao was a little stunned by him.

"Nexperia, what's wrong? Didn't you let you recuperate in the house? Why is it coming again? ”

"Your Majesty, I have come to congratulate you!"

"Hahaha, of course I have to be the first to congratulate such a happy event!"

Wedding??

Congratulate??

Cao Chao looked at him suspiciously, "What the hell is going on?" ”

Sima Yan took his hand enthusiastically, and then pulled him to the West Hall, saying as he walked: "Anyway, it's a great thing!" ”

"Your Majesty will be so happy that you can't sleep when you learn about it!"

The more Sima Yan said this, the more uneasy Cao Chao felt in his heart, he vaguely felt that Sima Shi's counterattack had begun, from Guo Li to Sima Yan's sudden arrival this time and was he ready to become alone? ?

Do you want to beat yourself back again?

Cao Chao said very calmly: "Anshi, just tell the truth, why show it?" ”

Sima Yan grinned again.

"Your Majesty, I'll have to change my mind."

"When there is no one in private, you have to call Your Majesty brother!"

"Huh?"

Sima Yan said in a low voice: "Your Majesty is going to get married!" ”

Cao Chao was stunned for a moment, but accepted this fact very calmly.

He couldn't object, thinking that Sima Shi found that he was too close to the Queen Mother, and he was worried that the harem would get out of control, so he arranged for a woman from the Sima family to enter the palace to divide the power of the harem, and at the same time better control himself and destroy his relationship with the Queen Mother.

Sure enough, their counterattack began.

Cao Chao's heart was very calm, without any fluctuations.

In the case that freedom and safety are not guaranteed, he does not dare to expect any love at all, Cao Chao has never had any idea about his queen candidate, this is not something he can decide.

Seeing Cao Chao so calm, Sima Yan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "Why is Your Majesty unhappy?" My cousin is the best-looking in the clan, and she has given birth to children, so she will definitely be able to give birth to an heir to His Majesty."

Oh, I gave birth.

Cao Chao's heart still has no fluctuations, this is too normal, in this era, women who have given birth to children are more popular and will be favored by nobles.

This is not because Emperor Taizu brought a bad atmosphere, but since the Han Dynasty.

Childbirth is a ghost gate for women in this era.

In the era of extremely backward medical technology, a large number of women will die every time they give birth, and those women who have given birth and proved their fertility will naturally have a higher priority.

Cao Chao didn't care about this either, he wasn't marrying a wife, he was just arranged by Sima Shi to have a new spy, why did he care about this spy's past?

"Who is she?"

Cao Chao asked casually.

"It's my cousin Sima Yu, the youngest daughter of my uncle, who was the wife of Guo De before"

Cao Chao stopped abruptly and looked at Sima Yan on the side in horror.

"What do you say???"
