Chapter 16

As the saying goes, if you have nothing to do, you will either be traitor or steal.

Cao Miao did not lose his memory. He knew what kind of person Qingtao was before. Although he had never abused him and had taken good care of him, he had no good feelings for him. What he did was just a responsibility. In other words, she had no choice.

If I had the chance to leave him, Qingtao might have left long ago.

I suddenly took this initiative today, so I naturally had something to ask for.

He never thought of hiding Qingtao forever, but he didn't want to easily involve Qingtao. The fewer people know about this kind of thing, the smaller the possibility of leakage. Since Qingtao already knows it, it is impossible to hide it. He must face it and take measures to respond.

Including killing and silence.

He doesn't want to kill people easily, but when he really deserves to be killed, he won't be ruthless. If Han Dong and Wang Tai know that he was causing trouble, wouldn't they go crazy?

"You can write poetry?" Cao Miao seemed to chat casually, and his tone was full of pressure.

"How could my maid do any poem? I just read a few sentences of people at that time." Qingtao knew what Cao Miao wanted to ask, and said straight to the point: "The prince, his maid's original surname was Zhang, his nickname was Yingzi, and his ancestral home was Wuwei Zuli. His father, Xuanwei Dinghou, was named Xiu, and his courtesy name was Ziwen. His father's name was Quan and Bo Yuan. In the 24th year of Jian'an, he died in the Wei Feng case. His father's brother was killed. His maid was young and was spared from death. He was not an official slave. He entered the mansion in the second year of Huangchu and was still called Linzi Hou Mansion at that time."

Cao Miao was surprised. "Are you Zhang Xiu's granddaughter?"

Qingtao nodded. "If the eldest prince has any doubts, he can ask the king and his wife. They all know the origin of the maid." She paused and said, "In fact, most of the slaves in this mansion are like this. I think the court is also for the sake of ease of supervision."

"My father knows?"

Qingtao looked at Cao Miao quietly. "My maid was young at that time and I didn't know many things, but there was one thing that I remember very clearly. Not long before the incident, the king of Linzi Hou, who was still a Marquis of Linzi, had come to his maid's house and had a secret talk with his maid Aweng. After he left, his maid Aweng began to pack up his luggage, as if he was going to go far away, but somehow he didn't leave. If he left at that time, maybe the maid's house wouldn't be like this."

Cao Miao's heart was galloping.

Cao Zhi conspired with Zhang Quan, the son of Zhang Xiu, and Wei Fei’s case. Is there any connection here?

**, no, conspiracy.

Cao Zhi has such a big deal? It doesn’t look like it.

Thanks to years of acting experience, although Cao Miao's gossip was burning, his face did not react much, and he looked at Qingtao calmly. Qingtao was originally a little excited, but was gradually cramped by his lack of warm eyes, and his body shrank tighter, like a helpless stray cat.

"Who has asked me these days, how did you ask?" Cao Miao withdrew his gaze and said lightly.

Qingtao did not dare to be arrogant and reported to Cao Miao everything he knew.

At night, Cao Miao recited poems and danced on the roof, and pointed at Cao Zhi and asked him if he knew his mistakes. He successfully attracted many attentions inside and outside the government. Needless to say, the guardians of the state supervising officials were both direct and roundabout. Qingtao didn't know anything about it, and all of them turned out to be a prince's crazy attack and perfunctory.

Outsiders can be perfunctory, but people in the mansion cannot deal with this. Especially when asked by his wife Xie, Qingtao can only report the situation in the past month in detail, and some things even go back a few months ago.

Despite this, they still did not understand what happened to Cao Miao. There was only one tacit consensus: Cao Miao's condition had changed, which may have worsened or improved. We need to look at the specific details again. Mrs. Xie asked Qingtao to pay more attention and report at any time.

It was precisely because of this that Qingtao noticed the abnormality between Cao Miao and Ah Hu. Tonight, as soon as they left the house, she knew, for fear that someone would suddenly come and find that there was no one in Cao Miao's room, so she hid it in it and made some noise until Cao Miao came back.

"The prince has anything else to ask, and the maid can tell you."

Cao Miao asked a few questions, and Qingtao answered them one by one, which was reasonable and there was no flaw. Cao Miao felt a little relieved and asked again: "What has the reaction of the king recently?"

"Since the prince asked that, the king's mind became even heavier and often stayed up all night. Both the wife and the second prince were worried about his body, so they persuaded him a few times, but it was useless."

Qingtao only knew so much, and Cao Miao couldn't ask about something nutritious. It was too late and he was a little sleepy, so he closed his eyes and snoring sounded in a short while.

Qingtao was so sleepy that his eyelids were heavy, but he didn't dare to sleep, so he lay tremblingly on the side.

She forced Ah Hu to ask, and learned that Cao Miao had warned Ah Hu that he would kill people in his dreams and would not allow Ah Hu to approach while he was sleeping, otherwise his life would be in danger. Although Cao Miao did not let her serve her today, she left her indoors. How could she not want to take her life by taking the reason for killing people in his dreams?

It was early summer, the weather was a bit stuffy, and the mosquitoes gradually increased. When waiting for Cao Miao, she had already driven the mosquitoes in the tent clean. However, when Cao Miao went to bed, she did not tuck the corner of the tent in time, and two more came in, screaming, which was very annoying.

Qingtao simply sat up, took the bamboo fan hanging on the head of the bed, fanned Cao Miao and drove away mosquitoes.

The lights were dim and Cao Miao was lying in a large shape on the bed. Qingtao did not dare to move too quickly, for fear of disturbing Cao Miao. It was even more difficult to catch the two mosquitoes. She thought for a long time, but she actually came up with a way. While fanning Cao Miao, she untied her clothes and exposed her body, lured the mosquitoes to bite, and then covered it with her clothes.

This method really works. After being bitten a few times, she successfully slaughtered the two mosquitoes. She was so tired that she curled up at Cao Miao's feet and fell asleep. Although she kept reminding herself not to really fall asleep, she still entered the land of dark and sweetness after a while.

Qingtao's snoring sound came along, and Cao Miao's snoring stopped. He actually didn't sleep. For the sake of action tonight, he slept for the afternoon yesterday. He just wanted to see Qingtao's reaction and see if she could stay by her side.

Listening to Qingtao's breathing, Cao Miao did not move. He knew that Qingtao was really asleep. A fifteen-year-old girl, who had no spare time during the day and waited for him until the second half of the night at night. It was beyond his expectations that she could support her for so long.

As for why Qingtao dared not sleep, he knew it clearly. Judging from various factors, Qingtao is not as good as Ah Hu, but is better than Ah Hu in other aspects and is more suitable to be a confidant.

Zhang Xiu's granddaughter is Cao Pi's life and death enemy, and he should be trusted. For details, I have to ask Cao Zhi before talking about it. You can't just listen to Qingtao's words. If it is confirmed correctly, he will consider telling Qingtao something.

Now, he is going to go to Cao Zhi. After fishing for Cao Zhi for so many days, it is time to meet him, especially when something big is about to happen in the palace.

Cao Miao waited for a while and confirmed that Qingtao was asleep, so he quietly got up. On the hanger at the bedside, he saw a set of new washing clothes. He knew that Qingtao had prepared them, so he couldn't help but feel more satisfied with Qingtao. He put on clean clothes and went out.

The east is white, and a blood-red rising sun is about to reveal the horizon.
