Summary of the previous chapter: Ma Xiaoquan benefited a lot from the battle with Ruan Longfei. After eating eggs to recover, Ma Xiaoquan had a few words with Ming Fa and immediately set off back to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. But just after he returned, he heard that Cao Pi had tuberculosis...
..
On the way to Cao Pi's residence, Ma Xiaoquan walked in a hurry, and Hua Yuexin followed behind her husband, trotting with difficulty.
With a "bang" sound, Ma Xiaoquan kicked open the door of Cao Pi's mansion.
"Where is Cao Pi, where is Cao Pi..." Ma Xiaoquan kept shouting, completely ignoring Cao Pi's servants in the mansion.
Cao Pi's wife, Zhen, was already very anxious and not in a good mood. When she heard someone shouting in the courtyard, she became very angry.
Zhen rolled up her sleeves and walked out of the room with a few strides, ready to curse. But when she walked out, she saw a man with short purple hair.
Zhen has never met Ma Xiaoquan, but has only heard of Master Shangxian. However, in her impression, Master Shangxian must be extraordinary and heroic.
However, although the man in front of her was handsome, his pointed chin made Ms. Zhen dislike her. Coupled with his short hair, Ms. Zhen immediately thought that this man was here to cause trouble.
As Cao Pi's head wife, Mrs. Zhen also had a bit of a temper. Although Cao Pi had about the same number of concubines as his father had, and there were some who wanted to replace her, but after so many years, Mrs. Zhen has always firmly held the position of the head wife.
Zhen is also a poor woman. Although she is Cao Pi's wife now, she thought she was Yuan Tan's wife and was snatched away by Cao Pi.
"Who are you?" After thinking about it, Zhen suppressed the anger in her heart and asked calmly.
Ma Xiaoquan waved his hand impatiently: "Get out of the way, I'm here to treat little Cao."
"Huh?" Mrs. Zhen was stunned for a moment and thought to herself: Xiao Xiao Cao? It seems that there is only one person who can call her husband this way. Could it be that this person...
Mrs. Zhen looked at Ma Xiaoquan carefully, and after a while she asked again, "Are you the Supreme Immortal?"
Ma Xiaoquan asked, "Are you Mrs. Cao?"
Mrs. Zhen nodded and thought to herself: Fortunately, I have just suppressed my anger. It seems that this person is really the Supreme Immortal. The Supreme Immortal is here and my husband can be saved.
Mrs. Zhen turned sideways, made way for Ma Xiaoquan, and said respectfully: "Master Shangxian, your husband is in the room."
Ma Xiaoquan nodded and took the small package from Hua Yuexin's hand.
Ma Xiaoquan asked: "When did your husband get sick?"
Zhen said: "Two days ago."
"How did you get sick?"
Zhen's face turned slightly red: "This matter is actually all my fault..."
Zhen told Ma Xiaoquan the reason for Cao Pi's illness. It turned out that... the patient in Ma Xiao's family died of the disease three days ago, and that was also the day when Cao Pi led a group of men to patrol on behalf of his father, Cao Cao.
Already.
Since Ma Xiaoquan had arranged in advance that if someone died, they would have to find a secluded place to dig a big hole and bury them deeply. Therefore, after the two people died, the Ma family's servants carefully took the deceased to Yecheng.
It is to be buried in a secluded place outside the city walls.
It happened that Cao Pi led a patrol there.
When he saw the servants of the Ma family, Cao Pi was very curious and hurriedly drove his horse forward to investigate.
Hearing that he was someone who died of illness, Cao Pi didn't care, so he opened the curtain and took a look.
It was at this moment that Cao Pi was infected with the tuberculosis virus, but Cao Pi didn't know it at that time...
"Oh..." Ma Xiaoquan chuckled and said, "It turns out that... my Ma Family Courtyard also has some responsibilities. Hey, just in time, I brought the medicine, so I will give it to you."
Little Cao cures the disease."
Mrs. Zhen was overjoyed: "I'd like to thank you, Lord Immortal, for saving your husband!"
Ma Xiaoquan waved his hand: "Don't go in. By the way, anyone who has come into contact with your husband in the past three days should be called over!"
Mrs. Zhen nodded.
When the people were gathered together, Ma Xiaoquan was a little surprised. The number of people who had come into contact with Cao Pi actually exceeded 20.
Ma Xiaoquan issued an order to quickly isolate each of these people into a room.
Although Mrs. Zhen didn't know what Master Shangxian was doing, she still did it.
"Okay, don't go in, I'll go in and treat little Cao!"
Hua Yuexin wanted to go in with her husband, but Ma Xiaoquan's eyes widened. Hua Yuexin could only pouted her lips and stood at the door obediently, waiting.
With a "creak" sound, Ma Xiaoquan pushed open the bedroom door and walked in slowly.
"Ahem..." On the bed, Cao Pi kept coughing. When he heard the bedroom door open, he hurriedly said: "Is it Madam? Madam, didn't I tell you not to come in?
, will be passed on to you..."
Ma Xiaoquan smiled: "Little Xiao Cao, it's me!"
When Cao Pi heard this, he pushed himself up and tried to sit up: "Ah? It's Master Shangxian, Master Shangxian, Cao Pi has seen..."
Ma Xiaoquan stepped forward and supported Cao Pi: "Okay, okay, little Cao, there's no need to be more polite. You're still sick and there's no need to get up."
Cao Pi was embarrassed and laid down by Ma Xiaoquan, and said guiltily: "Master Shangxian, haha, I am really..."
Ma Xiaoquan smiled: "You don't have to blame yourself, you are just doing your duty!"
Cao Pi coughed a few more times and sighed: "It's just my body, I'm afraid...hey"
As soon as Ma Xiaoquan heard this, an idea immediately came to his mind.
"Little Xiao Cao, I would like to ask you, even if your illness is cured now, what do you want to do?"
Cao Pi rolled his eyes twice and said slowly: "Of course I want to help my father properly..."
"Don't come here!" Ma Xiaoquan said, "Little Xiao Cao, don't you want to sit in your father's position after he retires?"
Cao Pi stared for a moment, shook his head and said: "Haha, my father is in good health. I have several brothers who are better than me. Even if my father retires one day, I'm afraid it won't be my turn."
Ma Xiaoquan smiled: "Little Cao, you said that among the people who are stronger than you, since the death of Cao Ang and Cao Chong, I am afraid that Cao Zhi and Cao Zhang are the only ones you regard as your rivals, right?"
Cao Pi wanted to deny it, but seeing Ma Xiaoquan's eyes staring into his own, he had no choice but to shake his head and said: "Hey, I can't hide anything from Master Shangxian... That's right, brother.
Among the people, the only person who can put pressure on me is really my brother-in-law."
Cao Pi, Cao Zhi, and Cao Zhang were all born to Cao Cao's wife Bian. In fact, Cao Cao's first wife should be Ding. It was just because after Cao Ang died, Ding ignored Cao Cao, so Cao Cao had to divorce Ding and change her to his wife.
The concubine is Mrs. Bian.
Needless to say, the brothers Cao Pi mentioned were Cao Zhi and Cao Zhang.
Ma Xiaoquan asked: "Little Xiao Cao, what do you think of Cao Zhang?"
Cao Pi thought for a moment, coughed and said: "Second brother...ahem...a brave man, ahem...a general!"
"What about Cao Zhi?"
Cao Pi paused, shook his head and said, "I don't know!"
Ma Xiaoquan laughed: "You don't know? I'm afraid the person you are most afraid of is your third brother who doesn't know, right?"
Cao Pi's face was red and his ears were red, and the answer was self-evident.
Cao Pi said: "Master Shangxian, can you help me?"
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head and said: "I will not be involved in your affairs or your disputes. However, your illness today is also due to your due diligence. Therefore, I can come to save you in this matter!"
