Startled, Madam Qiao took two steps back.""You…you…General Cao."
Cao Cao took two steps forward, as if he wanted to reach out to pull Madam Qiao, but he held back.""Madam Qiao, I'm Cao Cao, the commander of the cavalry.”
Mrs. Qiao had already calmed down. She lowered her head and frowned.""General Cao, please have some self-respect."
"I mean no harm, Madame Qiao," Cao Cao said, taking a deep breath. It's just that I happened to see Furen's beauty a few days ago, and since then, I've been dreaming of her. I'm purely admiring Furen, and I have no obscene intentions.”
Mrs. Qiao's face turned red as she rebuked angrily,""Presumptuous! You look like a gentleman, but who knew that you had such evil thoughts in your heart! I already have a husband, so General shouldn't be so frivolous. Not to mention, you're also an official with my husband. Where do you put my husband's face?”
Uh, this one was amazing. Both of them were amazing. Cao Cao is really bold. He actually dared to rush out and confess like this. I almost suspected that I was in the wrong era. Even in my era, there were not many boys who were so direct. As for Mrs. Qiao, she usually looked weak and gentle, but she was actually very fierce when she was angry...
Cao Cao wasn't frightened. Instead, he stepped forward and said,""I've always respected Lord Qiao, but I can't give in on this matter. He was also at the age of knowing destiny, but he married such a beautiful woman like Madam. Wouldn't it delay Madam's future?”
Madam Qiao glared at Cao Cao with her beautiful eyes.""General Cao, please make way. Today's matter, I'll pretend it didn't happen on account of your relationship with my husband. If you continue to pester me, I would rather die to protect my innocence.”
"Madam Qiao…" Cao Cao refused to back down.
Mrs. Qiao didn't say a word. She pulled me and Chaorong away. The carriage sent by the Qiao Manor was parked at a nearby street corner. Madam Qiao quickly boarded the carriage, her face ashen as she closed her eyes to rest.
I turned around to look at Cao Cao and saw a flash of coldness in his eyes. I couldn't help but feel terrified. This guy wouldn't be angry out of humiliation and want to take revenge, right?
In fact, reality proved that I was overthinking things. It was a troubled time in the Imperial Court, and no matter how much Cao Cao loved Madam Qiao, he couldn't take care of himself.
For a long time after that, it was He Jin who was fighting with the Ten Attendants of the Supreme Court. In addition, the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army were still making trouble everywhere. There was almost no peaceful day.
As usual, Sir Qiao left early and returned late. Even when he returned to the manor, officials from Empress He's faction would often visit him and close the door of the study, plotting something. Naturally, Cao Cao was among these people, but he and Sir Qiao weren't close enough to be on good terms with each other. When Madam Qiao heard that he had come, she hid far away. After coming a few times, she didn't even see her shadow.
I went to see Guo Gongzi every day. Winter was coming, and his body seemed to be getting worse and worse. He began to cough violently. Although he still smiled gently and elegantly and told me not to worry, he had Hua Tuo's medicine for him personally. However, every time I saw his pale face, I couldn't help but panic.
Could it be an old illness that could not be cured? What if…there's something wrong…I closed my eyes and didn't want to think about it. I really don't want anything to happen to Mister Guo. I don't know why, but he seems to be very important to me. Maybe it's because he's the first person who doesn't treat me like a child since I came here.
Of course, Sir Qiao wouldn't be so bored as to tell us 'women' about the matters of the Imperial Court. My main source of information is still Young Master Guo. More than once I had seen him burn the letters he had just received by the lamp, and he often went out to visit his friends, though I always felt that his body was not fit to travel.
Actually, I'm a little suspicious of Mister Guo's identity. Looking at his way of dealing with people, his unfathomable and extraordinary demeanor, he really didn't seem like an ordinary person. However, I couldn't think of any extraordinary figure in the Three Kingdoms. In the end, I even came to a conclusion that made my heart beat faster: He wouldn't have died of an inexplicable illness at the beginning of the chaotic world, right? Oh my god, forget, forget, it was absolutely impossible…
No matter what, he never rejected anything I asked. Even if it was a confidential letter that he had just burned, as long as I asked, he would tell me the contents of the letter without hesitation. The way he looked at me was very gentle. Although he was very gentle to everyone, I just felt that he treated me differently.
At the beginning of spring the following year, the rebels of the Yellow Turban Army were finally completely pacified, and memorials to show their merits flew like snowflakes to the imperial court. Cao Cao had also been promoted several levels because of his meritorious service in dealing with the rebels. It was said that he had even been conferred a title of nobility.
In autumn, there was another rebellion, but this time, the Ten Generals hid it and did not report it, causing the whole country to complain. The remonstrant doctor Liu Tao did not hesitate to break into the palace to remonstrate, but was beheaded in public. None of the ministers dared to speak again.
However, the rebellion still had to be put down, so the ten constant attendants faked the emperor's edict and ordered Sun Jian to be the prefect of Changsha to crusade against the rebels.
Originally, I wasn't that interested in these battles. I was only concerned about the matters in the capital. After all, this was related to my life. However, this time, after hearing Sun Jian's name, I couldn't just ignore him. I pestered Young Master Guo and asked him about everything.
Because Sun Jian is Sun Ce's father, which means that he will be my sister's father-in-law. Although he had already passed away many years ago when Chaorong married him, I still felt that it was necessary to pay more attention to him.
In less than a month, Sun Jian was able to suppress the rebels and was conferred the title of Marquis Wucheng. Since then, the court seemed to have returned to a rare peace. However, this was only the calm before the storm.
In the summer of my third year in the Three Kingdoms, on a hot night, I was already lying in bed and falling asleep.
Suddenly, I heard a noise outside the door. I opened my eyes and sat up. Outside the window, there was a faint flicker of light, but usually at this moment, the residence would have been silent, and there would not be any light outside.
I pushed open the door and Cheng Wu immediately came up to me.
"Second Miss, why did you come out? Go back and rest."
"What happened?"
"I'm fine. It was just that a few of Old Master's colleagues had come to visit. Old Master was discussing matters with them in the study.”
"Meeting? At this moment? How many people came?"
Cheng Wu tilted her head and thought for a moment.”
This was unusual. There had never been a precedent for so many people to come to see Sir Qiao at the same time, not to mention that it was already the third watch on the city wall on such a hot night.
My heart sank as I pushed Cheng Wu away."I'll go take a look."
Cheng Wu hurriedly shouted from behind," Second Miss, don't go. Old Master said that no matter what happens in the residence, he told Madam and the two young misses not to go out."”
I didn't stop and sped towards the backyard. After taking a few steps, a figure suddenly walked out from behind the corridor and said softly behind me,"Second Miss, are you looking for me?”
I turned around. The young man behind her was dressed in white, and his elegant eyes carried an indifferent smile. Two years had passed, and he had grown a little taller. His coughs in the summer had stopped, and he looked much more energetic.
I ran to his side.”
He smiled." Second Miss, something big is going to happen in the palace tonight. I came out to watch the show."”
"As expected, there's something!" I looked at him in bewilderment and asked,"What happened? My father…my father…"
He raised his head and looked at Lord Qiao's study from afar. The door was tightly shut, and even the servant maids guarding the door had been sent away. However, the lights were bright, and there were a few black shadows moving back and forth inside.
He sighed slightly.
"If I'm not mistaken, the Spirit Monarch passed away tonight.”
