Chapter 506 Mother-in-law

Early the next morning, Ai Lang accompanied Cao Ying to the Prime Minister's Mansion. The guards at the gate recognized Chen Chu, the Imperial Hospital Director, who treated the Prime Minister, and did not stop him from coming. Because Cao Cao had issued an order before his lifetime that the Imperial Hospital Director could freely enter and exit his Prime Minister's Mansion. Although the Prime Minister has passed away, the order has not been cancelled. The two entered the mansion and saw a busy scene in the mansion, and everyone was busy handling the affairs behind Cao Cao. Whether it was a servant or a maid, everyone showed sadness on their faces.

Seeing that Cao Ying was already in tears, Ai Lang couldn't help but hold her slender hand. Cao Ying felt the warmth of her elder brother's palm, and her sad mood couldn't help but relieve a little.

Ailang led Cao Ying to the outside of the arch leading to the backyard. Two strong servants immediately stopped him. After looking at Ailang and Cao Ying, the servant on the left said angrily: "Who are you? How dare you break into the back house?"

Ailang clasped his fists and said, "The hospital is in the lower house. If you have an urgent matter, you will meet Mrs. Zhao!" The two servants couldn't help but look at each other. The servant on the right cursed angrily: "It's because of you, a quack doctor, that our prime minister suddenly died! Get out of here, otherwise we won't blame you for being rude!" The servant on the left nodded and agreed, looking angry. Cao Ying was furious when he saw this and shouted sternly: "Bold!..." The two servants were startled and couldn't help looking at Cao Ying, but they didn't recognize him. The servant on the left smiled coldly and said angrily: "Who are you? You dare to make noise in the Prime Minister's Mansion! It's simply outrageous!"

Ailang grabbed Cao Ying who wanted to have an attack and said to the two: "Since you are so loyal to Prime Minister Cao, you shouldn't make things difficult for us. Because the Prime Minister told us something before he died, and asked us to tell Mrs. Zhao!" The two servants looked at each other and hesitated for a moment. The servant on the left said angrily: "Since that's the case, you can go and report it. If the lady is willing, see you, otherwise get out of here!" Then he turned around and ran in.

The two were waiting at the door. Cao Ying only felt that time was passing particularly slowly and was anxious.

Finally, the servant who went in to report came back and said to Ailang and Cao Ying, "Madam, ask you to come in. Come with me." Then he led the two into the palace gate and walked straight to a courtyard along the nine-curved corridor of the tree-lined path. Cao Ying couldn't help but be excited when she saw the familiar scene in front of her, and held Ailang's palm tightly.

The servant asked the two to wait at the door, then went in and informed them. After a while, he came out and said to them, "Go in." Ailang took Cao Ying's slender hand and walked up the steps and into the small hall. He saw a middle-aged woman with kind eyebrows sitting on her head. Ailang had never seen Cao Ying's mother before, but saw that there was a trace of Cao Ying's shadow between her eyebrows, so he could not tell at first that the woman must be Cao Ying's mother! However, the lady Zhao was covered in cold frost at this moment, looking very angry. Cao Ying suddenly saw her mother's stern expression, and her little daughter couldn't help but feel angry. She shrank and didn't know what to do!

Ailang led Cao Ying to the hall, clasped his fists and said, "Madam!..."

Mrs. Zhao looked at Ai Lang coldly and said angrily: "It turns out that you are the one who killed the Prime Minister!..." Cao Ying was shocked and hurriedly: "It's not like this!..." Cao Ying was anxious and forgot to pretend to be a voice in her original voice. When Mrs. Zhao heard this, she was stunned at first, and then a very unbelievable expression appeared on her face.

Mrs. Zhao came to her senses and quickly said to the old mothers and maids who were serving her, "You don't need to serve here, all of them will retreat." Everyone bowed and left the hall one after another. After a while, only Mrs. Zhao and Ai Lang and Cao Ying were left in the hall.

Mrs. Zhao hurriedly stood up, walked quickly to Cao Ying, and asked excitedly: "Yinger, is it you?" Cao Ying could no longer disguise and cried: "Mother!..." This time, Mrs. Zhao completely confirmed her guess and couldn't help but hold Cao Ying in her arms, crying: "My poor daughter!..." The mother and daughter hugged their heads and cried, and it took them a long time to calm down.

Mrs. Zhao helped Cao Ying up, looked at her cheek, frowned and said, "Ying'er, what's wrong with your face?" Cao Ying then realized that she was still wearing a human skin mask, and immediately stretched out her hand to reveal her true face. Mrs. Zhao felt extremely magical and was amazed. When Mrs. Zhao thought of the man who accompanied Ying'er, she couldn't help looking at him and frowned and said, "Who is this person?" Cao Ying couldn't help but look at her and said, "He, he is his daughter's husband, Brother Lu Bu!..." Mrs. Zhao was surprised and shouted angrily.

He said, "So it's you! You are so bold, you dare to come to Xuchang to murder the Prime Minister!..." Cao Ying said anxiously, "Mom, you misunderstood! Brother, he is here to save his father!..." Mrs. Zhao said unhappily, "Silly child, don't be deceived by him! He and your father are a life-and-death grudge. He wants to get rid of your father and get out of here, how can he come to save your father? Although your father is seriously ill, he will not die suddenly. But after this person comes, your father suddenly passed away. This is by no means a coincidence! This person is sinister and vicious, and he is using you!"

Cao Ying said anxiously: "Mom, listen to me! I was in front of my father's bed before and after my father's death! My daughter knew the most. It was not the eldest brother who harmed my father, it was Cao Pi!" Speaking of this name, Cao Ying couldn't help but look very hated.

Mrs. Zhao looked shocked and then said in disbelief: "How is this possible?" Cao Ying said: "Dad's condition has stabilized under the treatment of the genius doctor Hua Tuo, brought by his elder brother, and he can recover within a few months. Dad was happy and drank happily with his elder brother!..."

Mrs. Zhao glanced at Ai Lang and frowned and asked, "According to what you said, does your father already know that he is Lu Bu?" Cao Ying nodded and said, "I went to see my father alone the day before yesterday, but I didn't expect that my identity was revealed by my father after a few words. Then my father guessed the identity of my elder brother!... Mom, think about it, Dad is so smart, even he doesn't think that the elder brother will harm him. Why do you have to wrongly accuse me of my elder brother! And Dad intends to fight against my elder brother

It is known to everyone in the world, but after my father's death, the fate of Cao Pi actually turned into a way to succeed to the throne! This is so strange, and Cao Pi is the biggest beneficiary of this matter. Who else could he be the one who murdered his father? Moreover, Hua Tuo first rescued his father before his father died. Zeng said that his father was hit by a very powerful and rare poison! The most strange thing is that the maid who cooked medicine and tested his father at that time disappeared! As a result, there will be no one else who murdered his father except Cao Pi!"

Mrs. Zhao felt that what her daughter said was reasonable, and she couldn't help but nodded. The anger in her heart faded away and turned into a full of sadness and confusion. In ancient times, women like Mrs. Zhao's status were noble and enviable, but everything they all came from their own men. Once a man died, they were like duckweed that had lost their support and were completely at a loss. Some would even encounter the most tragic fate of a woman after her own men died.

Seeing that the mother and daughter talked endlessly, Ailang couldn't help but say, "Let's leave here quickly and talk!" Cao Ying thought of the purpose of this trip and hurriedly said to her mother: "Mother, follow her daughter to leave Xuchang and go back to Shouchun!" Mrs. Zhao was at a loss and couldn't help but say, "How can this work?..." Ailang hurriedly said, "Mother-in-law, you can't stay here! Cao Pi conspired to kill her father-in-law and seize the throne.

Later, I am afraid that the Prime Minister's Mansion will be carried out to eliminate the dissidents whom he thinks are! It is absolutely unlucky to stay here!" Cao Ying nodded deeply, and after hearing Ai Lang's words, Mrs. Zhao couldn't help but feel frightened. "Mom!" Cao Ying begged. Mrs. Zhao looked at the daughter in front of her and couldn't help but feel that the Prime Minister was no longer there, and she could only rely on her daughter and son-in-law, so she couldn't help but nod.

Cao Ying Ailang was overjoyed, and Ailang hurriedly said, "Mother-in-law, hurry up and prepare, bring one or two of your closest maids, and don't want anything else! You have everything in Shouchun!" Mrs. Zhao nodded.

Later, Ailang and Cao Ying, who had put on a human skin mask again, led Mrs. Zhao and her two close maids to the Prime Minister's Mansion. When they went out, they only told the servants who were guarding the gate that they wanted to go to the shops on the street to buy some memorial items. The servants naturally did not dare to stop them.

Not long after, several people returned to Ailang's residence. As soon as they came back, Cao Ying took her mother down to rest, while Ailang discussed the current situation with Zhuge Mengxue. "Mengxue, there is no problem with the city gate?" Zhuge Mengxue said: "The people sent to investigate are returning. The city gate is normal, and there is no abnormality. Master, it is not advisable to stay here for a long time. I think we should leave immediately!" Ailang nodded and ordered: "Prepare immediately and set off before noon!" "Yes!"

At noon, the group packed up and prepared to leave the mansion. However, at this moment, a personal soldier who had taken out the guard suddenly came back and reported: "Master, it's not good! Suddenly, soldiers rushed to the city gate and said that they had closed the city gate under the order of the new lord!"

Everyone was shocked, and Ailang couldn't help but curse, "Damn it! How did you get it?" Then he looked at Zhuge Mengxue and asked, "Mengxue, what should I do now?"

Zhuge Mengxue frowned and thought, "Cao Cao's death is full of doubts, and rumors must be spread among the people. If this kind of rumors continue, Cao Pi's position will inevitably be unstable! Cao Pi must want to stop the matter as soon as possible, so he is eager to plant the sewage on others' heads!" Then he said to Ailang: "Master, this place is dangerous! If I expected it is good, Cao Pi will definitely send someone to catch people soon, so as to threaten us to perjury and frame Cao Zhi or another young man!" Ailang was shocked and nodded, "Not bad! With this bastard's insidiousness, he would definitely do this!" Then he said, "Let's leave immediately, find an inn to settle down first and then make plans!" Zhuge Mengxue clasped his fists and said, "Master is wise!" Mrs. Zhao looked at Ailang and looked at Zhuge Mengxue, who was dressed in men's clothes but had an extremely tempting voice, with a look of thought on her face.
