No one knows what Guo Jia said to Cao Cao after he went to Xuchang.
However, the defense around Liu Xie has suddenly increased a lot in the past two days, and Cao Guifei's movements have also been restricted by people sent by Cao Cao.
How long has it been since Liu Xie experienced such a life of trembling and walking on thin ice since the Yidai Edict? But compared to his own situation, he was more worried about the child in Concubine Cao's belly.
But today, Cao Cao and Guo Jia actually came to Liu Xie's residence in person.
Cao Jie was half-lying on the bed, and Liu Xie was sitting beside the bed.
At this moment, Liu Xie held Concubine Cao's hand tightly, looked at Cao Cao and Guo Jia, and pressed towards them step by step.
There is no one around Liu Xie, who can he rely on now?
He is already alone, who else can he rely on?
Liu Xie's hands were shaking, and his palms were full of sweat, but his heart remained extremely firm, and he even whispered to comfort Concubine Cao: "Don't be afraid, my dear concubine, I will protect our children with my life!"
Concubine Cao Guifei did not reply, and said softly "Yeah". However, the look in Cao Jie's eyes was obviously more decisive than Liu Xie's.
Cao Cao waved everyone away and ordered: "No one is allowed to come within three feet. Anyone who violates this rule will be shot!"
Guo Jia nodded slightly towards a certain corner, and then the light in the entire palace seemed to become half darker.
"Prime Minister!"
"His Majesty!"
Liu Xie and Cao Cao spoke at the same time, obviously neither of them expected this situation.
"Your Majesty, speak first."
"No... let the Prime Minister speak first!"
Liu Xie kept his attitude very low. Now he only wants to save his child.
The moment he heard that Concubine Cao was pregnant, Liu Xie suddenly felt that he was surrounded by a great happiness. He was going to be a father! But when he realized what was happening, his happiness was replaced by an extreme panic.
Sure enough, Dr. Liu diagnosed that Concubine Cao was pregnant the day before, and when he came the next day, he was replaced by a doctor from the hospital.
Concubine Cao secretly threw away the medicine prescribed by the doctor. Now no one can believe that she is serious.
However, looking at the medicinal soup that Cao Cao had just sent and placed on the bedside, Liu Xie felt helpless from the bottom of his heart, and a deep fear seemed to drag him into hell.
When Liu Xie asked him to speak first, Cao Cao was not polite and said: "Your Majesty, why don't you let Concubine Cao drink the medicine prepared by the miraculous doctor Hua?"
Liu Xie did not dare to look at the bowl of dark medicine, and said with difficulty: "Prime Minister... your concubine... she is not sick."
"Drink it, it will be good for you all."
Liu Xie's eyes widened, and he held on to the hem of his clothes with one hand. The veins on the back of his hand were exposed and bloodless.
At this moment, Concubine Cao suddenly lifted the quilt, sat down on the bedside, and said, "Dad... if the child is gone, the daughter will not be alive either."
"You dare to threaten me?" Cao Cao narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a murderous look.
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense.
Seeing this, Guo Jia quickly opened his mouth to calm the atmosphere and said: "The matter has not reached the point of life and death. Please give your Majesty and the noble concubine more consideration."
A trace of despair flashed in Liu Xie's eyes, and he roared unwillingly: "Why! Why! I have completely given up resistance, why are you still unwilling to let me go! Cao Mengde, if you want the throne, I can give it to you, I only ask you
Spare the imperial concubine and the fetus in her belly!"
Cao Cao has never thought about usurping the throne. When he suddenly heard Liu Xie's words of smashing the jar, Cao Cao was immediately angry: "What the hell did you say?!"
Then, before Liu Xie could speak again, Cao Cao shouted in a commanding tone: "Drink this bowl of medicine!"
"Dad!" Cao Jie looked at Cao Cao in disbelief. Did he really want to force himself to death?
Guo Jia glanced at Cao Cao and saw that Cao Cao had not given in at all. He could not say anything more, but Guo Jia still had some doubts in his heart.
Seeing that Cao Cao had no room for negotiation, Cao Jie showed a sad smile on his face and said: "Dad...daughter..."
"Stop talking nonsense and drink the medicine!"
Liu Xie is about to collapse.
He could no longer care about his own image, and threw himself at Cao Cao's feet, praying with tears in his eyes: "Prime Minister, please be merciful! I can give you everything, I just ask you to let go of the imperial concubine and me.
Child!"
"It seems that Liu Xie really treats Concubine Cao sincerely... What a pity..." Guo Jia felt a little pity for Liu Xie at this moment.
Guo Jia opened his mouth, trying to persuade Lao Cao not to push too hard, but Cao Cao suddenly turned around and glared at him, making Guo Jia swallow his words back in his stomach in an instant.
"Drink, keep drinking, I have one more thing to say to you, Prime Minister."
Cao Cao refused to back down at all, and Liu Xie immediately collapsed on the ground.
Concubine Cao's face was filled with sadness. She walked slowly towards the medicine bowl and picked it up tremblingly.
Liu Xie's eyes were dull and he kept repeating: "Prime Minister...I will give you the throne...I will give you everything...I just want to be an ordinary father."
..."
When Cao Cao saw that Concubine Cao was holding the medicinal soup but was still unwilling to put it into her mouth, he simply shook off Liu Xie, took two steps forward, grabbed Concubine Cao's wrist, and fed her the medicine towards her mouth...
Concubine Cao closed her eyes and drank the medicinal soup as if resigned to her fate. Then she suddenly broke away from Cao Cao's hand and bumped her head against the edge of the bed.
Fortunately, Cao Cao had quick eyes and quick hands. He stepped forward, took Concubine Cao's hand again, and pulled her back.
"What are you doing?!" Cao Cao shouted angrily.
Cao Jie's face was pale and expressionless, and he was heartbroken just thinking about it.
Without even looking at Cao Cao, she replied: "I have fulfilled Prime Minister Cao's request. As for what I want to do, that is my freedom."
Guo Jia was startled by Concubine Cao's actions. At this moment, he couldn't help but said: "Concubine Cao, if you die, what will happen to the fetus in your belly? Is it really going to kill two people?"
"
Guo Jia's words made Concubine Cao and Liu Xie stunned.
Concubine Cao suddenly raised her head and asked, "Guo Jijiu, what do you mean by this?"
"What else can it mean? This is the anti-fetal medicine that I personally requested from the miracle doctor Hua Tuo. What do you mean?!"
"Ah?!!" Liu Xie screamed, suddenly stood up and shouted: "An...wu~~~!"
"Shh!" Guo Jia covered Liu Xie's mouth and said, "Your Majesty, don't shout?"
"Anti-fetal medicine?" Concubine Cao also exclaimed slightly when she heard this.
"You should thank Lu Changsheng...if he hadn't taken action, this bowl of anti-fetal medicine would have been the real anti-fetal medicine..." Cao Cao said in a still cold tone.
"This... Lu Qiaoqi?"
"Lu Yan said that after drinking this bowl of medicine, the child in the concubine's belly will only be a baby girl." Guo Jia explained.
"Huh? There is such a magical medicine?" Liu Xie's eyes were full of disbelief, "But if it is a daughter, that would be the best, the best!"
Liu Xie, who is extremely intelligent, obviously also knows what kind of trouble they will face if they give birth to a baby boy.
"If it's Lu Qiaoqi and Divine Doctor Hua, I'm afraid it's not impossible..." Cao Guifei said hesitantly.
"You'd better not leave the palace and wait for the child to be born." This is what Cao Cao said, and what he would say after Concubine Cao drank the medicine...
Concubine Cao timidly apologized: "Dad... it was my daughter who wrongly blamed you."
"Huh! Take good care of yourself. Your elder brother still remembers you." Cao Cao flicked his sleeves and turned to leave.
Just as Guo Jia was about to leave with Cao Cao, Liu Xie suddenly grabbed him and said softly: "Guo Jiajiu, please thank Lu Qiaoqi for me first... After the child is born, I will go to visit him to express my gratitude."
"It's easy to say... As long as your majesty plays mahjong more gently next time..."
