"Your Majesty...if you hadn't hidden this from me...how could you have been so melancholy that you couldn't sleep all night?"
"Your Majesty...if you hadn't hidden this from me...how could you be so sad that you vomited blood?"
"If Your Majesty hadn't hidden this from me...why would you always show sad eyes..."
Fu Shou's series of questions made Liu Xie stunned. His hands trembled and touched his face - he didn't notice at all what Fu Shou said.
"Your Majesty...what happened...and when...did you do something beyond your control?"
"Speak to me... I... don't want to remain ignorant... Your Majesty... you have lost weight... you have lost a lot of weight..."
Fu Shou covered his face and cried, the meaning of his words could no longer be obvious.
Liu Xie stood up sluggishly and walked to the corner of the palace, where there was a bronze mirror for washing. Through the mirror, Liu Xie looked at his extremely unfamiliar face... Unconsciously, he became a little scared again.
Is this still him?
His face was as thin as a withered bone, making Liu Xie look like he had lost his humanity. Fu Shou faced Liu Xie like this every day, and had to do his best to take care of him...
"I…"
"I can't say...but...I promise you that no matter what decision I make in the future, I will tell you...Queen...you...are my only support. I don't want to see you cry..."
Liu Xie raised his head in pain and looked up at the wind curtain above the main hall - it was obviously summer, but this dim hall, with its bronze pillar base, looked particularly gloomy -
Liu Xie suddenly wanted to change his mood. He probably felt a little sorry for Fu Shou. No one likes to be kept in the dark, let alone a married couple——
Just as he was thinking this, Liu Xie squeezed out a rare smile and looked at the bed curtains deep in the Qingyan Palace——
"Queen, why don't we go out for a walk today? I heard that you can go boating on Lingxiu Lake, but I have never been to the lake to take a boat -"
Suddenly bleeding, he was stunned and the words in his mouth stopped abruptly.
There…
Fu Shou stared blankly in a certain direction, seemingly not hearing Liu Xie's words at all. There was a person running quickly in front of her, but that figure was so sad that Liu Xie felt a little sad when he saw it——
"I...my son...you...are you okay!"
"Daddy!"
Fu Shou hugged Fu Wan, who had been running all the way, his legs and feet trembling a little. Fu Wan had a look of horror on his face, and Fu Shou cried even deeper because of something——
Cao Cao is here.
Because Cao Cao was here, Fu Shou was almost sure of his guess - Liu Xie, without knowing it, did some unforgivable things... It turned out... It turned out to be related to Cao Cao...
Precisely because it was related to Cao Cao... Fu Shou suddenly felt that the sky was about to fall - for provoking Cao Cao, besides death... could there be other consequences?
Liu Xie stood there blankly, holding his hands in front of him, as if he didn't know where to put them.
In front of the gate of the Qingyan Hall, Cao Cao was looking at him quietly, his eyes full of murderous intent, even though Liu Xie had heard the analysis of Yang Biao and others more than once - as long as the world is not unified...
It would be impossible for Cao Cao to kill himself.
But this time...he was also a little shaken——
The secret in Fu Shou's words is the reason why Liu Xie has been avoiding Cao Cao these days...
Ever since he received the news that Chang'an was safe, Liu Xie had somewhat lost his ability to think normally - he had never thought about failure... so much so that when the news of the failure of the plan reached the capital, he was even imagining that Cao Cao was in trouble because of Chang'an.
The scene of losing ground and vomiting blood and fainting——
As a result, he was the one who vomited blood.
From that day on, Liu Xie began to worry... worried that if Han Sui told the truth about the matter, if Zhang Lu's subordinates were beaten to death... if... if...
Too many eventualities made Liu Xie haggard and unable to bear any thought. Even in his dreams, he was escaping from Cao Cao's revenge——
He regretted a little... regretted that he was blinded by hatred... but he was more willing to convince himself and persuade himself to rebel against Cao Cao vigorously——
It's a pity that when Cao Cao really stood in front of him, he couldn't even move his legs.
"Your Majesty looks good. Could it be that he has recovered well?"
Cao Cao's voice echoed in the empty hall, cold and teasing.
Liu Xie was like a child who was caught lying, his face turned red. Cao Cao moved forward, while Liu Xie retreated——
They were getting closer and closer to Fu Wan and Fu Shou, and Fu Wan's body was shaking more and more.
"Prime Minister... Prime Minister! You... you broke into the Qing Banquet Hall without permission. What crime should you... deserve!"
Unexpectedly, at this time, when the army outside the palace had almost squeezed into the door, the first person to stand up and block Liu Xie was the weakest Fu Shou.
"Haha - what the queen is teaching is... I have good intentions. I heard that His Majesty was ill, and I was worried and wanted to see Your Majesty as soon as possible... It was because I was being arrogant."
Cao Cao smiled, but everyone who saw his smile shivered——
After Fu finished, he knelt on the ground with a plop... He knelt forward and held his daughter's hand while begging for mercy from Cao Cao who was not far away in front of him:
"Prime Minister! Prime Minister, please calm down! My daughter... my daughter is not sensible and does not know the good intentions of the Prime Minister... quickly... apologize to the Prime Minister!"
After Fu finished, he completely lost the ability to think... He was not as calm as his daughter.
He wanted Fu Shou to apologize, but Fu Shou had to stand upright——
Because she wanted to protect her husband, she took advantage of her identity to the extreme.
For this reason alone, Cao Cao admires Fu Shou's courage. Compared to Fu Shou, an old man with a twitchy brain, and Liu Xie, who only hides behind women, Cao Cao admires Fu Shou, a loyal woman...
"It's a pity that it's not my cup of tea——"
No one could hear what Cao Cao was mumbling because the sound of Cao Cao drawing his sword drowned out everything else.
"Queen, I have something to say to Your Majesty... If there is nothing else, please leave the Queen and the Head of State for the time being... I promise you..."
Cao Cao didn't finish what he said, but Fu Shou clenched his fists, apparently holding on to the extreme.
What is guaranteed?
She probably promised not to kill Liu Xie... But Fu Shou felt that... if she got out of the way today, she might never see Liu Xie again in her life.
Fu Wan also took his daughter and wanted to run out of the palace... It was true that he was the head of the country... but in front of Cao Cao, he still cared more about his daughter——
Finally, Cao Cao became impatient with waiting. He waved, and Cao Chun led a group of forbidden troops outside the door and quickly surrounded Fu Wan and Fu Shou.
Fu Shou was going crazy, she shouted:
"What are you trying to do! Are you rebelling? No...I won't allow you to move..."
Before he finished speaking, Fu Shou and Fu Wan were "invited" out of the hall.
In the end, the only ones left here were Cao Cao and Liu Xie, who stood blankly opposite.
"You...what do you want to do to me?"
Liu Xie squeezed out a few words through her teeth, and it could be seen that she was trembling all over.
Cao Cao sneered:
"I don't do anything, I just want to settle a score with His Majesty——"
