Chapter 487 The cause and effect behind the scene, captured [Subscribe]

In the room, after a turbulent uproar, silence returned.

Diao Chan leaned against Cao Cao and said softly, "Your Majesty, you haven't told me why you came here yet?"

"The purpose of coming here...hasn't this just been done?" Cao Cao laughed.

Diao Chan said with a smile: "Then I am going to sleep."

The mythical realm that Cao Cao was in, coupled with his extraordinary luck, gave rise to a sense of induction and the desire to come and take a look. There must be a reason.

What is the source of his induction?
Currently, Afu Yu is barely considered an opponent who can pose a threat to Cao Cao.

But even if he was hiding in the dark, his target would only be Cao Cao himself, because he only had one chance, and he would not waste it on anyone other than Cao Cao.

Targeting Diao Chan has no practical significance for Afu Yu.

Moreover, the entire Xianbei was finished, and it was unlikely that Afu Yu would sneak into the Wei alone to do something with a low success rate and a heavy cost.

Cao Cao asked, "When is Wu's birthday?"

"It's tomorrow."

Diao Chan adjusted herself to a comfortable position. Her bright eyes could hardly open. She stretched out her smooth arms, draped them in front of Cao Cao, and fell asleep in a moment.

After Diao Chan fell asleep, Cao Cao got down from the couch and came to the window.

Suddenly, a shadow-like figure appeared outside the window.

"Has Diao Chan done anything unusual these few days?"

“Your Majesty, there are no external anomalies.

But Wu is quite calculating, there are also problems in this house, it is not clean. "

What was wrong in the house? When Cao Cao came in just now, he listened carefully and knew where the problem lay.

As an imperial concubine, the security around Diao Chan was far more thorough than outsiders could see or guess.

The world has been unified for more than ten years, and Cao Wei's foundation has gradually deepened. The talents it has cultivated and recruited are no longer just what appears on the surface.

Outside the window is another expert in the secret guard system.

After Cao Cao asked the question, the person outside the window disappeared quietly again.

"Zhongkang."

Cao Cao told Xu Chu outside the courtyard, "Go ahead, keep calm, and get to the root of the problem."

"My minister obeys."

Outside the courtyard, Xu Chu suddenly disappeared.

Dian Wei was left alone, stuffing delicious food into his mouth leisurely.

He recently discovered a new food: dried shrimps that are dried and baked and eaten with their shells. They are crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside, and the more you chew them, the more delicious they become.

……

Wang Ji, the head of the Wang family of Taiyuan, arrived in Rencheng before the city gates closed, preparing to attend his mother's birthday celebration.

After he came back, he visited the county lieutenant, the county magistrate and others. When he returned to Wu's mansion, it was already late at night.

Mrs. Wu was still awake and waiting for him.

Wang Ji followed the servants and came to Wu's room.

Wu put down the bronze chime-like object in her hand.

Every time this bronze instrument is struck, it emits a light sound, which has the effect of clearing the mind and concentrating the spirit.

"It's night time, why aren't you resting yet, mother?" Wang Ji greeted her.

"Have all the things outside been arranged?" asked Mrs. Wu.

"Everything is fine, please rest assured, mother."

Wang Ji sat down at one side and said happily:

"I heard that the imperial concubine came in person to celebrate mother's birthday, and there are also noble families who came all the way here. For mother's birthday, county and prefecture officials will also come tomorrow."

Wu said calmly, "Are they here to celebrate my birthday?
I just came to seek a relationship with the imperial concubine, why are you so happy? "

"Diao Chan is very proud now. I begged her to find a career for Yan Qing and Yan Yue. She refused and told me, the son of the Wang family, to take the exam and become an official.

I don’t want her to come to celebrate my birthday.”

"Master Zi shouldn't have allowed such an ignorant person to enter my Wang family."

Wang Ji was surprised and said, "Mother, please be careful with your words."

"What? I can't even say a word in my Wu's ancestral home?" Wu snorted coldly.

Wang Ji: "Your Majesty has been rectifying the aristocrats in the world for more than ten years. The relationship between my Wang family and the court is always close. The court has never treated my Wang family badly, thanks to the kindness of my uncle and Diao Chan."

"There are so many noble families out there who are jealous of our relationship with the court. The fact that the imperial concubine came in person to celebrate my mother's birthday is proof of that."

He added: “Your Majesty came from the previous dynasty and knows that the harm caused by foreign relatives is detrimental to the country.

So I seldom ask Diao Chan for anything. This favor will always be there if you don’t ask. It will weaken every time you ask. Mother loves her children and grandchildren, I know, but you must not mention this matter again.”

Wu said:
"I'm just mad at her attitude and I'm just complaining. Okay, I know my limits and won't let anyone see anything wrong.

But it's not easy to get her out. If I don't take the opportunity to do something, I'll just miss the chance."

"What do you mean, mother?"

"My son, have you ever thought about how to make Diao Chan more obedient and loyal to me, Wang Shi?"

Wang Ji was horrified:

"Diao Chan is your majesty's favorite concubine, but if she is slightly ill, both my Wang and Wu families will be doomed."

"Mother, do you still remember what happened to your uncle? If it weren't for you...how could your uncle have died in Luoyang?"

"Shut up. How can you blame me for Master Zi's death? I only said a few words. He went the wrong way. What does it have to do with me?"

Wu waved her hand: "I'm tired, you go down."

Wang Ji said worriedly:

"Mother, you must never go to see the imperial concubine in private again." After saying this, she retreated politely.

He walked out the door, still looking back at his mother's room with some concern. A few years ago, his mother had a serious illness that threatened her life. She sought medical help from many famous doctors but could not be cured. Later, she inexplicably recovered.

But since then, Wang Ji always felt something was wrong.

After my uncle Wang Yun eliminated Dong Zhuo and took power in Luoyang, my mother went to Luoyang once.

Not long after she returned home, she heard that her uncle Wang Yun had passed away.

It is still unclear who the murderer is.

Later, it was Diao Chan who cared about Wang Yun. After knowing of his death, she got some news from Cao Cao and wrote a letter back to the Wang family, saying that it might be the Buddhists who came from the West to preach the scriptures and were stealing luck everywhere. For some reason, they targeted Wang Yun and killed him in Luoyang.

Wang Yun's body was found in a secret compartment in the house, and his head has not been found to this day.

After Wang Ji left with a worried look on his face, Wu took the bronze chime beside him and struck it gently.

She seldom puts down this chime bowl and plays with it all year round.

Wu was thinking while tapping the chime lightly.

It was late at night and everyone was asleep.

In the Wu family's ancestral home, Wu's personal maid opened the back door to welcome someone in, and led the person to Wu's room.

The visitor had an ordinary appearance, was dressed like an ordinary person, was nearly sixty years old, and had a kind face.

Mrs. Wu was seriously ill many years ago, and it was this man who passed by Taiyuan at that time and cured her.

Wu was grateful for the other party's life-saving grace, and had been in intermittent contact with him over the years, often giving him money.

"The old lady knocked on the conjoined bowl several times, and was anxious to find me, but have you made up your mind?" asked the visitor.

"Are you sure your method will work?" Wu asked the visitor.

"I can save you, so I naturally know how to cure your illness. Give her the talisman paper ash and borrow a bit of her luck to keep you safe. You can at least live a few more years."

The other party said: "Your chronic illness has flared up twice in recent years, and I was the one who treated you both times.

There are few people in this world who can be as healthy as you at the age of seventy."

"You are a blessed person. Otherwise, even if you have my prescription, it will be useless."

"If you give her the talisman paper to drink, no one will find out, and she won't suffer much damage. At most, she will just have a minor illness, and she will recover in ten days. You can maintain your current state and live to be over eighty years old without any harm."

For an old person, the most attractive thing is to live a few more years in good health.

There is nothing like it.

Wu weighed the matter and said, "Tomorrow is my birthday. If I persuade her to drink with me, I think she will not refuse."

The visitor nodded and said, "That's exactly what I meant."

early morning.

The visitor returned along the same route, left Wu's residence, took a carriage, and went all the way to the east side of the city.

The carriage circled the city and returned to Wu's mansion.

But the people in the car were nowhere to be seen.

No one knew when that person got off the bus or where he went.

The person who met Wu appeared quietly in another area of ​​the city and entered a mansion.

There was no light in the house. A man was sitting in the side room of the main house. He met the old man who came back from outside and asked:
"Done?"

The old man who met Wu:
"The Wu family has agreed to take action, but it may not succeed. However, it is an opportunity after all. Even if it fails, the loss of the Wu family will not be a big deal to us.

This is the only chance to get in touch with the people around him. If the imperial concubine drinks it and goes back to have sex with the Emperor of Wei, she might really be able to transfer the blame to him."

"Did you see anything unusual when you went out and came back?"

"We have fought against the Wei people many times in the past and suffered heavy losses. How could I not be careful? There is nothing unusual."

The two of them were whispering in the room.

On the eaves outside the door, Xu Chu muttered:

"Someone wants to use the imperial concubine to plot against your majesty, and Wu is an accomplice."

Xu Chu poked his head under the eaves and took a look: "For this level of goods, those secret guards are enough."

Below, a few shadowy figures were approaching.

"What is the identity of the other party?"

There was another person beside Xu Chu, he was the leader of the secret guards.

"We are still unsure of their origins, but no matter where they came from, we have defeated the Xianbei. They are definitely no match for the Wei Dynasty in public, so they can only resort to covert means."

"If your majesty doesn't come, they won't succeed."

"What about Wu?"

"It's polite to turn her birthday into a happy funeral."

"Take these two first."

Below, the door opened softly.

The secret guards were the first to enter the room.

The two people in the room jumped out of a broken window, rolled on the ground, and then jumped up with extraordinary agility.

But when he flew into the air, he was suddenly startled.

A huge net fell down and covered him, capturing him alive.

In the house, there was a rapid and frequent collision sound like a rainstorm.

When the sound stopped, two people of unknown origin were captured one after another.

"Take him back for questioning, and you'll know everything."

Xu Chu jumped down from the roof.

At this time, outside Cao Cao and Diao Chan's room, there was a mysterious person approaching cautiously.
