Tian Yan

When he left the palace gate and turned a corner to the place where he could not see the main hall of the Chaohui, Cao Zhi suddenly became quiet.Cao Pi felt something was wrong, so he tilted his head and saw that Cao Zhi's head was hanging down limply, and he had already turned his back.

Cao Pi took a deep breath, seeing no one around, he quickly put Cao Zhi down on his back.He stretched out his hand to check Cao Zhi's breath, it was short and urgent, but very even, it seemed that there was no danger of his life.It's just that his face was as pale as paper, his teeth were clenched tightly, and he seemed to be in great pain.

Cao Pi sighed, forcefully removed Cao Zhi's hand clutching his chest, untied his complicated court dress belt, and pressed hard on his chest to relieve him.

I have become a good doctor after a long illness, I really don't know whether to be happy or sad.

Cao Pi stared at Cao Zhi, seeing that Cao Zhi's delicate eyebrows, straight nose, and fair face all resembled him very much, but they were all three points more delicate and elegant than himself.

Just like Cao Zhi's poems, how can he not love, how can he not be jealous!

Cao Pi's hand caressed Cao Zhi's slender neck, paused for a moment, and finally moved upwards, his fingertips gently slid across Cao Zhi's side face.

At this time, Cao Zhi let out a long sigh of relief, moved his eyelids, and woke up leisurely.The out-of-focus eyeballs turned around subconsciously, and then met Cao Pi.

"Brother Zhi, when did you get this palpitation?"

Cao Zhi silently pulled up his clothes, bowed his head and smiled slightly: "Second brother, guess."

Cao Pi closed his eyes, and when he looked up again, the pain in his eyes had been erased for a moment: "Your disease is not in your body at all, it is in your heart. It has been so many years, everything returns to ashes, why bother to torture me?" Myself? If mother knew about it..."

Cao Zhi looked at him with black and white eyes, quietly, but Cao Pi found it difficult to continue, so he opened his mouth and swallowed the second half of the sentence silently.

"Second brother, this problem of mine originally fell when I was 12 years old..." Cao Zhi raised his head and looked at the sky cut into strips by the palace wall, "During that time, I stayed behind closed doors and couldn't sleep at night. I can't breathe as if I'm falling on a boulder. Every night, I count my heartbeats until dawn, thump, thump, thump, as if life is passing by, helpless. Heartache, suffocation, sleepiness, all of which can't be used Sleeping to escape, I can only bear it awake. These years have passed, I thought I had buried those days deep underground, but today, today!" Cao Zhi raised his neck and leaned his head heavily "When my father threw the fan at me, the feeling came back, it was fear... The father who gave birth to me and raised me forced my mother to death, and my brother who was born with my mother died again. He poured a basin of dirty water on me, hahaha, this is my home, my home!"

Cao Pi's heart skipped a beat, and he kept his expression on his face: "Brother Zhi, think about it carefully, why didn't your father publicize the fan thing? That's to save face for you!"

The corner of Cao Zhi's mouth raised bitterly: "This kind of framing is obviously aimed at me, and there must be flaws in haste. If my father really believes in me, why hasn't it been cited until now! Why!"

Cao Pi sighed, and before he could speak, his wrists were bound by Cao Zhi.At this moment, he saw a frightening flame in Cao Zhi's eyes, and Cao Zhi asked him, "Second brother, you didn't make that fan, did you?"

Instinctively, Cao Pi shook his head: "Of course not!"

"Yeah, second brother, you were far away in Xuchang, unless you..." Cao Zhi shook his head, but his feet approached step by step, and Cao Pi had to back away until his back was against the cold palace wall.

Cao Zhi's slightly raised face was facing a ray of sunlight that crossed the palace wall, but Cao Pi was covered in the shadow, and two pairs of similar eyes looked at each other, one bright and one dark.

"Second brother, make an oath, and swear to the sky above your head and the soil under your feet."

There was a hint of doubt in Cao Pi's eyes, and Cao Zhi seemed to have read his mind: "Second brother, I know that what I say is groundless, but I just want to give myself a reason to believe, please."

"Huang Tian above, I, Cao Pi, will never do anything to frame my siblings. If there is any wrongdoing, I will cut myself off from the world!"

"Well, second brother, I believe you!" Cao Zhi's beautiful eyes were filled with tears, he lowered his head, and loosened his grip on Cao Pi's wrist, "Second brother, take care, I'm leaving first."

Cao Pi watched Cao Zhi trot away, his finger was cold, he lifted it up to see, there was still a drop of Cao Zhi's tear on it.

Brother, you want a family, but do you know that since the man died six years ago, his father has long had a country but no home.

So, we have no choice.

Cao Pi never had the habit of sighing behind people's backs, so he just took out a handkerchief to wipe away the tears, and left alone with his hands.

Cao Zhi hasn't come to the court since that day, and the bloody storm that everyone was waiting for has not come yet.Cao Cao seemed unwilling to mention this matter again, and could not help confirming other people's conjectures—whether Cao Zhi was framed or not, this battle for the crown prince has quietly kicked off.

Cao Zhi gave up completely, and only suffered for Cui Yan in the temple.Originally, most of Cao Zhi's faction were civil servants and celebrities, and they were indifferent to fame and fortune. Now that Cao Zhi had withdrawn, they dispersed.Cui Yan suddenly became a polished commander, and his power was evaded by Cao Ren, so he had to report his illness and return home to avoid the momentary limelight.

Because of Cao Zhang's great achievements in the battle of Hanzhong, he lost Cao Zhi, a strong enemy, and he was very popular in the court at this time.

And Cao Pi, who is also the prince, has been completely forgotten.Cao Pi's name can only be heard in Tingwei's mouth when there are sporadic revisions.

But in this world of great controversy, what is the law?

Cao Zhi never told lies, he was really sick.It may be true as Cao Pi said, there are many demons in the heart, the disease is consumed inside rather than outside, and what is weakened day by day is the foundation of the body.

On the surface, Cao Zhang is very beautiful, but he is not feeling well in his heart. He always wants to see Cao Zhi, but when he goes to the door, he is blocked at the door.

Cao Zhi was standing in the door with his hands clasped in plain clothes, his hair loosely tied at the back of his head.

This is not a battlefield, just such a pale and sickly person makes it impossible for Cao Zhang to move forward.

That was his own brother, the person he hurt the most unintentionally, but the one who hurt the most.

"Third brother?"

"Hey." Cao Zhang responded, but Cao Zhi sneered, "Are you my third brother? Why don't I remember that my third brother, who was a hero in my life, would do such a lowly thing!"

"Brother Zhi, listen to my explanation!" Cao Zhang said hastily.

"Okay, I'll listen." Cao Zhi was not hypocritical, "Say it."

What do you say?Said that Sima Yi did all of this, but he just wanted to use Yang Xiu's people to try Sima Yi's so-called poisonous plan?

Only then did Cao Zhang realize that he was completely speechless.

Cao Zhang's reaction was all seen by Cao Zhi. Even though he had expected the result long ago, it still made him feel chilly at this moment.Cao Zhi closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths. The peach blossoms were blooming, which should have been another gorgeous spring.

He can sit under a tree somewhere, reciting poems, drinking, and composing Fu, and the petals fall into the wine, splashing lightly.Instead of drinking medicine to fill up like now, only to find that my belly is far less than imagined.

"You go, I don't want to see you again."

Cao Zhang hurriedly said: "Brother Zhi, I just..."

"Get out!" Cao Zhi yelled suddenly, and the door of the mansion, which was only one person wide, closed with a bang, blocking Cao Zhang's sight.

In the end, what was left to Cao Zhang was a tree inside the gate, blowing peach blossoms like snow, like a grand sacrifice.

Cao Zhang faintly felt something was wrong, staggered back a few steps, and almost bumped into a speeding carriage.Cao Zhang hurried away and turned into a dead-end alley, then knelt down and covered his face and wept bitterly.

There is an inexplicable sadness in my heart, as if this is the last farewell.

"Sima Yi..."

After a while Cao Zhang wiped away his tears, a cold killing intent burst out from his tiger-like eyes.
