Quickly wear "I am the empress"

"If she were a man, why should I worry that I would have no heir, and why would I worry that no one would inherit my ambition?"

Zhuge Liang was silent. Although Heming was a woman, she had great ambitions and was much stronger than many men.

With such an excellent daughter, what else could the lord be dissatisfied with?

Seeing that Zhuge Liang was stunned and didn't say a word, Liu Bei sighed and continued:

"Although Feng'er is brave, he is just my adopted son. Chan'er has mediocre qualifications, but he is my only male heir. Heming is excellent, but not a man...

"Life is too short. I am so old and none of my children can bear the responsibility that I have. I don't know if this is God's punishment for me."

Zhuge Liang lowered his eyes and bowed to Liu Bei, "My Lord is in his prime, why worry about having no successor."

Liu Bei smiled bitterly: "As I get older, I can clearly feel the changes in my body."

"I have devoted my life to restoring the Han Dynasty, but I don't know if I can realize my ideals in my lifetime."

Zhuge Liang smiled warmly: "Lord, there will be a day."

Hearing this, Liu Bei smiled sadly: "Then let's borrow Kong Ming's auspicious words."

_

In April of the 19th year of Jian'an, Liu Bei of Yizhou sent troops to attack Badong.

In May of the 19th year of Jian'an, Sun Quan from Jiangdong led his troops to attack Wancheng.

In June of the 19th year of Jian'an, Cao Cao's son Cao Pi was suddenly poisoned and fell into a coma. Cao Cao was furious and vowed to find out the person who poisoned him.

The eldest princess's mansion.

Seeing the guards from Duke Wei's palace suddenly appear, Zhiyu put down the brush in his hand and raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"I wonder what you want to do when you suddenly burst into my princess's mansion?"

The guard with a stern face cupped his hands towards Zhiyu and said, "Elder Princess, my lord invites you to go to the Duke's Mansion for a gathering."

Zhiyu looked at the guard in a funny way, her eyes filled with frost, "Please? This is the first time in my life that this princess has seen such a request."

"Is this... the etiquette of the Duke of Wei?"

The expression on the guard's face did not change at all because of Zhiyu's words. He just said resolutely: "Elder Princess, please come."

Seeing that the guard was so arrogant, Zhiyu lazily leaned back on the chair and said in a lazy tone: "I won't go."

Seeing that Zhiyu did not cooperate, the guard secretly frowned and waved to the people following him: "Eldest Princess, since you don't cooperate, you will be offended."

After the guard finished speaking, two masked men were immediately ready to catch Zhiyu.

"what--"

Before the two masked men could touch Zhiyu, the painful cry instantly spread throughout Zhiyu's study.

At some point, several heroic and imposing guards appeared behind Zhiyu. "Don't dare to hurt the eldest princess."

Hearing the guards' anger, the two masked men who were wailing on the ground immediately silenced their voices. The aura of the female guards in front of them was so strong that they subconsciously did not dare to speak out.

Zhiyu glanced at the leading guard coldly, "Go back and tell Wei Guogong that not everyone can break into my eldest princess' mansion."

"If Wei Guogong doesn't give me a reasonable explanation for what happened today, I don't mind going to the Holy Father to have a good talk with His Majesty."

The guards of Duke Wei's Mansion glanced at the two men on the ground who were sweating in pain, and then at the imposing guards behind Zhiyu. Finally, they bowed to Zhiyu and left with his men.

After the people from Duke Wei's mansion left, Zhiyu's face instantly darkened, "Come here, invite Mr. Zhongde and Mr. Wenhe."

"Yes."

After a while, Jia Xu and Cheng Yu, who received the summons, hurried to Zhiyu's study.

"Greetings, my lord."

Zhiyu nodded lightly and cast dark eyes on the two of them, "Who did what happened to Cao Pi?"

Hearing this, Jia Xu's eyes flashed with shock, and he quickly looked at Cheng Yu beside him.

Cheng Yu calmly cupped his hands towards Zhiyu and said, "My lord, I did it."

Seeing Cheng Yu being so indifferent, Zhiyu was a little speechless, "Did you leave any clues?"

Cheng Yu shook his head, "Don't worry, my lord, it was the emperor who did it, and it has nothing to do with the people in our eldest princess's mansion."

"Can the poison still be cured?"

Cheng Yu shook his head, "There is no cure."

Hearing Cheng Yu say this, the look on Jia Xu's face became a little strange. Among Cao Cao's sons, the best are none other than the eldest son Cao Ang and the second son Cao Pi.

Unexpectedly, one of his two sons was killed by him, and the other was killed by Cheng Yu now...

"Brother Zhongde, you really don't show your real face."

Cheng Yu glanced at Jia Xu with a sly expression. Why did this sound so strange?

"Brother Wenhe, we are each other."

Zhiyu sighed, "Cao Pi was poisoned and Duke Wei was furious. I'm afraid it won't be easy on His Majesty's side this time. You should keep a low profile and don't make Cao Cao notice you."

Hearing this, they both nodded, "Yes, my lord."

"To report to the eldest princess, the Duke of Wei's Mansion has sent an invitation, saying that the princess is invited to go to the Duke's Mansion for a gathering."

After Zhi Yucai finished talking to Jia Xu and Cheng Yu, the maid's voice came from outside the door.

Hearing this, Yu nodded slightly, "I remember there is a purple ginseng plant in the warehouse. Wrap it up and I will take it to the Duke's Mansion later."

"Yes."

"If I can't come back soon, you two must not act rashly and follow Mr. Shiyuan's arrangements."

Zhiyu stood up and gave instructions to Jia Xu and Cheng Yu.

Hearing this, Jia Xu looked at Xiang Zhiyu with some worry, "My Lord, Duke Wei has invited you over. I'm afraid there is a Hongmen Banquet, so why don't you go with me?"

Zhiyu's expression twisted when he heard this, "Mr. Wenhe, have you forgotten how Cao Ang died?"

"Cao Cao is angry now. Are you going there because you are afraid that he will not avenge Cao Ang?"

Hearing this, Jia Xu smiled and said, "Master, I just said it casually, but it cannot be taken seriously. It cannot be taken seriously."

The Duke's Mansion of the State of Wei.

When Zhiyu arrived with gifts, many court officials were sitting in the living room. When they saw Zhiyu, everyone quickly stood up and saluted.

"Meet the eldest princess."

Zhiyu nodded slightly, "My lords, you don't have to be polite."

"I see that you adults don't look very good, but what happened?"

Hearing this, the expressions of the officials present froze slightly. An official from the Dianke Mansion raised his hand and said, "Princess, the Duke of Wei "invited" us all here early in the morning, but he has never shown up. "

"We have been here for a long time, and it is inevitable that we will feel scared."

Hearing this, Yu nodded understandingly, "That's it."

"I heard that the eldest son of Duke Wei is ill in bed. It's normal for Duke Wei to be busy at this time. Sirs, don't worry."

"When the prince's condition stabilizes, Duke Wei will come out to see us."

Everyone nodded after hearing this, but the worry on their faces did not diminish at all.

The prince of Wei State was ill, and Duke Wei "invited" them here. This was unusual when you think about it. After all, they were not doctors and could not cure the disease...
