[Three Kingdoms] I am the queen of the Great Wei Dynasty

"Lingjun?" A Sheng was a little surprised, and couldn't help but straighten up from the ground.

Not far away, there is a broken piece of porcelain with a clear outline, which is particularly dazzling in the early morning sunlight.

She didn't know what it was, and was about to reach out to pick it up, but the guard picked it up first: "Madam, just let the subordinates clean it up."

Cao Cao glanced at her casually, and said in a nonchalant tone, "Yes. The only person who can save Zijian is Xun Yu."

Seeing that she was puzzled, he tapped heavily on the table with the bamboo slips in the corner: "Just Xun Yu's memorandum pleading for Zijian, Zijian can live. He is the most powerful reliance of Emperor Han now, As long as he is willing to intercede, no one will dare to impeach Zijian to protect Zijian."

Without thinking, she blurted out: "Will you be willing?"

Hearing this question, he couldn't help laughing, "Xun Yu has long been estranged from Gu, and the day of the final breakup is not far after all, so how can he be willing to obey Gu's will?"

Although he had expected it, Ah Sheng was still stunned when he revealed the truth so calmly.

While covering up her panic, she began to comfort herself: "You are worrying too much."

"Worrying too much?" Hearing this, he laughed half-sarcastically, "It's really worrying too much to be lonely and hopeful. But Xun Yu has always listened to you. If you go and beg him, he will not be stingy to keep your son. life."

What he said was half true and half false, and she couldn't tell whether he was mocking him or the truth for a while, but until now, she couldn't care what he meant.

A Sheng changed into men's clothes, put on a black cloak, and walked towards the Xun Mansion along a secluded path.

"Ah... Mrs. Bian?" At first, the old housekeeper didn't know who the woman in men's clothing was, but after seeing the face clearly, he hurriedly changed his words, then bowed and asked, "Ms. Bian is here to see the Patriarch?"

The old butler was very old and had spent most of his life in the Xun Mansion, but he still vaguely remembered A Sheng's original face.

She took off her veiled hat, and nodded respectfully in return, "I take the liberty of wanting to see Ling Jun, but I don't know if Ling Jun is in the residence at this moment?"

"The head of the family has been in the mansion recently, this old man will let you know, please wait here for a while, Mrs. Bian."

"Excuse me." The butler left in response, and then staggered and disappeared into the evening twilight.

"Ma'am, give me some money, I really can't live on..."

"Okay, ma'am, you look so noble, please give me some money to save my child, he is really lying on the bed and dying of illness..."

She was standing outside waiting quietly, when suddenly a group of beggars in ragged clothes came out behind them, crying and shouting, kowtowing to her several times involuntarily.

This group of people all had weather-stained faces, obviously sallow and emaciated due to long-term hunger, and they even looked sick when they spoke.

She was about to take out her purse in a hurry, but she didn't watch out for a few children who were only around their waists and ran over again, and they even grabbed her arm tearfully, sobbing in their mouths.

"We are all so poor that we have nothing to eat. Madam, you are a good person, so please give us some charity."

These children were crying endlessly, with snot and tears all over her body, as if she would not leave without giving.Ah Sheng himself was also prone to soft-heartedness, so he nodded in agreement immediately, and put some baht money into the palms of their hands spread in front of him.

After a while, the purse was divided up to nothing, and Ah Sheng shook his head helplessly: "No more."

Seeing this, those people bowed and bowed one after another, and thanked her all the time: "Madam, you are really a good person! You are a good person, you will be rewarded with good rewards, and you will surely have a safe and smooth life."

Just as A Sheng was about to thank her, the housekeeper suddenly called out from behind: "Madam Bian!"

She turned around, and saw the butler walking towards her with a bundle of bamboo slips in his hand, with an apologetic face.

A Sheng hurried up to meet him, he handed the bamboo slip into her hand, and said: "The master said that he knew your purpose of coming, and said that you don't need to see him, and asked the old man to give you what the madam asked for."

"What else did he say?" His tone was unconsciously tinged with disappointment.

The old housekeeper shook his head: "The owner has nothing else to say."

A Sheng held the memorial in his arms, and stroked the slightly rough surface of the bamboo with his palm. His finger marks seemed to have not been wiped off, and were still printed on the back of the ink that had not yet dried.

"As expected, he still knows everything." After a long time, she suddenly sighed.

The old housekeeper's eyes suddenly filled with sorrow, his brows were filled with endless worries, his cloudy eyes looked at her and he opened his mouth, but then closed it again, he was hesitant to speak for a while.

Asheng noticed his strangeness, and knew that the old housekeeper must have something to say, so he said sincerely: "Old man, if you have something to say, please tell me directly. I have been taken care of by you since I was a child. If there is anything I can do for you, you Just bring it up."

"It's not the old man's own private matter." He closed his eyes, and suddenly turned serious.

As soon as A Sheng was about to ask, he suddenly found a drop of muddy tear in the corner of his wrinkled eye.She couldn't help panicking, but she heard him speak in a deep voice in the silent twilight: "It's about the future of the Patriarch."

A few words instantly changed her complexion.

After all, it uncovered her hidden worries that had been buried for many years, forcing her to open her eyelids and look directly at this reality.

"Ms. Bian, the head of the family has never been in court for the past month, and only complained of being sick at home. The old man has been the housekeeper of the Xun Mansion for many years, and has seen the head of the house change from a weak young man to a high-ranking minister. How could he not know him? What are you afraid of?"

The sunset glow burned the sky, as if it wanted to burn all the swept heaven and earth into ashes, leaving only a dark panic.

Facing her eyes that almost lost his composure, his throat moved wearily, and then he continued to say with deep pain: "The head of the family has been reserved and reticent since he was a child, but his heart is clear. Now that the Han Dynasty has collapsed, it is irreversible. I am afraid that he will... Do your best for the Han Dynasty."

The sound of the last few words dropped instantly, as tiny as a mosquito.

"With all due respect..." she murmured and repeated, "he will, he will really do it."

"This is not the only thing I'm worried about. Those Han courtiers even misunderstood the patriarch. I'm afraid that even if the patriarch is devoted to loyalty, his death will be in vain."

His words are undoubtedly like a sharp knife edge, peeling off the vitals layer by layer.She was silent for a moment, and said with difficulty: "How could I not know that Ling Jun bears everything alone, no matter what other people understand or don't understand, he suffers in silence alone. He is really too tired to live, But no one really understands what he has suffered, if others have already been overwhelmed by this weight, they still want to criticize him and let him bear those unwarranted crimes."

"Madam Bian has known Patriarch for decades, since she knows him so well, is she willing to watch Patriarch sacrifice in vain?" The butler obviously hesitated for a while before lowering his eyes.

But I can't do anything.

A Sheng murmured sadly in her heart, but seeing the old housekeeper's earnest expression, she had no choice but to comfort him: "We can't control your choice, but please rest assured that you have saved my life, and I will definitely help you." Can't stand by and let him die."

Not long after, Cao Zhi was released from Dali Temple.

As soon as he got out of the prison, he immediately changed into clean clothes after taking a bath, and came to visit his mother in the prime minister's mansion.

His face was full of embarrassment, his originally handsome and free and easy manner obviously restrained a lot, and he kowtowed heavily to A Sheng.

"The unworthy son made my mother worry, I hope my mother will forgive me!"

She didn't let him get up either, she just stood quietly in front of her son for a long while, just looking at him without saying a word.

When his mother didn't speak, Cao Zhi didn't dare to get up from the ground, so he could only kneel down with lowered eyebrows and said nothing.

After a while, she finally opened her mouth and said coldly, "Do you know your mistake?"

"I have been locked up in Dali Temple for several days, thinking all the time, I shouldn't be so indulgent and reckless, everything is my fault, please punish me."

"You get up first."

He heard the words and kowtowed a few more times before he dared to stand up cautiously. When he raised his eyes inadvertently, he saw that A Sheng's eyes were covered with bloodshot eyes, and the white hair on his sideburns had grown a lot more than before. He was so thin that he was no longer a memory. That familiar face.

He couldn't help feeling sad, and his voice was astringent: "Mother is so worried about my son, it's unfilial for my son, I just ask you to take care of your health."

"I'm fine." She turned around suddenly, quietly wiped away the tears that were welling up in her eyes with the back of her hand, and then said calmly, "I'm only worried about you, Zijian, how can you make me feel at ease! Although I don't want to see you Contradictions with Brother Zihuan, but if you have a sense of community in your heart, I will not hinder you from fighting for it, but you acted so presumptuously, this time you can let Ling Jun protect you, but next time? You are really not afraid of life Is it all on your temper?"

Her tone gradually became stronger. Although Cao Zhi couldn't see his mother's expression, he could guess that her heart must be mixed with anger and worry at the moment.

So he murmured repeatedly: "Son knows he was wrong, the past will never happen again, son swears in front of his mother that if he--"

"That's all." A Sheng stopped him, "Those who want to be poor always make aspirations, it's enough for you to be clear in your heart."

Seeing him nodding obediently, she saw that her son's belt was a little loose, so she raised her hand to fasten it for him, and asked him casually, "Have you ever been to your father's place?"

"Father has been busy with his affairs recently, so he infers that he has no time to see his son." Cao Zhi obviously hesitated for a moment, then said after hesitating, "I heard that many ministers persuaded my father to honor him as Duke Wei, but my father didn't seem to refuse."

"Wei Gong?" A Sheng's hand that was tying the belt for him stopped suddenly, and said in surprise, "Your father...he must be king."

"Calling the king? Father really wants to fight against the Han family?" Now it was Cao Zhi's turn to turn pale with shock, and he couldn't help but panic immediately, "Then Xun Lingjun, isn't it true that he is against his father?"

"what happened?"

"My son wanted to pay homage to Lord Ling, but unexpectedly he had reached his birthday yesterday. The housekeeper said that he was sick and could not be in court, but my son had never heard that he was always sick!"

"He's in Shouchun?"
