Chapter 250 Arch Fire
Cao Miao wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes embarrassedly. "Shame, ashamed, I was rude for a moment."
"Oh, oh." Sun Luban squeezed out a smile, not knowing what to say. She was not good at dealing with such a situation.
"I was a little nervous these days." Cao Miao calmed down and sat down again. "I have two sisters, one named Jinhu and the other named Xingnu, but unfortunately they all died. If Jinhu grew up, she should be about the same age as the princess. When I saw the princess, I was in a daze, as if I had seen her again."
Sun Luban suddenly realized, nodded, but said nothing.
Cao Miao knew that Sun Luban had a sister named Sun Luyu, whose nickname was Xiaohu, so he planned to impress Sun Luban with family affection. Seeing Sun Luban's expression, he knew that this idea was a bit naive. Sun Luban seemed to have no feelings for her sister, or had poor empathy and had no reaction.
But he was not in a hurry and continued to act as planned. There were many routines, and there was always one that could work.
"I'm going to tell the princess that I'm a useless person and I'm suffering from an incurable disease." Cao Miao said, looking at Sun Luban from the corner of his eyes.
Sun Luban was still confused and asked casually, "What kind of incurable disease?"
"Crazy. Once you are nervous, you will get angry. I don't even know what you will do."
Sun Luban was shocked and looked a little uneasy. She stared at Cao Miao for a while, and then she felt relieved when she saw that Cao Miao showed no sign of madness. She bit her lip and said nothing. "What a pity."
Cao Miao didn't say anything, just waiting for Sun Luban to speak himself in order to lead the topic in the direction he hoped. He could see that Sun Luban was indeed very terrible as his name was, either he had no brains or could not use it.
"It's not a pity. I lost my life when I was young, and I lived in this world like a walking corpse, no difference from dying. If I die in a foreign land, I will be clean and I just want to implicate people again."
Only then did Sun Luban reconnect with the interrupted thoughts and asked quickly: "Why did you come to Jiangdong? Why are you worried about plaguing people?"
Cao Miao was silent for a moment. "Dare to teach the princess to learn that I offended someone and fled here. In Mulanze, I was chased and killed. If it weren't for the Duwei Shi under Mrs. Sun's command, I might have become a floating corpse in the Ze."
When talking about Mrs. Sun again, Sun Luban frowned slightly and felt a little confused.
Cao Miao has already had contact with his aunt? This is difficult. It is not worth it to go head-on with his aunt in order to surrender.
The maid next to Sun Luban suddenly stepped forward and leaned into Sun Luban's ear and said, "Princess, Mrs. Sun has sent people to check around in the past few days. I heard that she was looking for someone. Could it be this person?"
Sun Luban was stunned for a moment. "No way?" Then he slapped his forehead. "How could you meet Shi Duwei under my aunt? Did you meet by chance?"
"No, it was me asking Mrs. Sun for asylum, who sent the Shiduwei lieutenant to pick me up."
"Since you are asking for protection from my aunt, why..." Sun Luban's eyes flashed with doubts.
"I'm worried that she won't be able to deal with it, which will not only implicate her, but also ruin her life." Cao Miao looked at Sun Luban. "To be honest, I had wanted to ask the princess for help, but..."
When Sun Luban learned that Cao Miao had not accepted Mrs. Sun's protection and had a chance, he was overjoyed and said without hesitation: "It's just what? My aunt can't protect you, I can."
Cao Miao shook his head, and he wanted to speak a few times but stopped. Sun Luban was anxious and urged him repeatedly. Cao Miao was "forced to do nothing" and had to say: "Forgive me for being liberated, I'm afraid the princess doesn't have the ability to protect me, and she is even worse than Mrs. Sun."
Sun Luban was angry and slapped the table. "Who said I was not as good as her?"
Cao Miao was shocked. Sun Luban was even more tiger than he thought. Fortunately, he was prepared and quickly came back to his senses, pretended to be timid, and said stammeringly: "Can I ask the princess a question?"
Seeing Cao Miao's uneasy appearance, Sun Luban also realized that he had lost his composure and quickly slowed down his tone. "You said."
"If King Wu ascended the throne, can Mrs. Ling Tangbu become the queen?"
Sun Luban suddenly became hoarse. His face turned red and white, and his eyes became fierce. She clenched her fists and didn't say anything for a long time.
Cao Miao didn't speak and continued to play the role of a lonely and helpless weak man. He knew very well that this was the thorn in Sun Luban's heart, and he could not touch it, and he would get angry when he touched it. He wanted to use this thorn to arouse Sun Luban's emotions, but he could not touch it too hard and would lose control.
Compared to Mrs. Sun, Sun Luban was his first goal in his plan. This big tiger princess has no other skills, and her ability to cause trouble is more likely to become a knife in his hand.
Whether Sun Luban's biological mother, Mrs. Bu, can become the queen is not just a matter of Sun Quan's personal preferences, but also involves the dispute over interests between the Jiangdong Group and the Huai Si Group. Mrs. Bu is from Huai Si, and her clan uncle Bu Zhi is currently stationed in Xiling, and is a few important generals in the Huai Si Group.
The Sun family started with the Huai and Si ranks. Zhang Zhao, Zhuge Jin, Zhou Yu, Lu Su, and Lu Meng were all from Huai and Si ranks, and their relationship with the Jiangdong ranks was not very good. In the early days of Sun Ce's entry into Wu, he killed many Wu Hui families, which eventually led to his assassination. After Sun Quan ascended the throne, although his relationship with Jiangdong eased, there were still conflicts from time to time. Shen You was killed and Zhang Wen was abolished, which were all the products of the conflict between Sun Quan and Jiangdong ranks.
As time went by, important generals of the Huai Si Clan passed away first, and the Jiangdong Clan finally waited for the opportunity to rise. First, Lu Xun became a general, and then Gu Yong became prime minister. The Jiangdong Clan had already occupied the highest point in both civil and military affairs, forming a crushing advantage for non-Jiangdong Clan, including the Huai Si Clan.
For Sun Quan, this is definitely not the result he is willing to see. A dominant line means that the art of balance cannot be used.
So he deliberately suppressed the Jiangdong Group, supported the Huaisi Group, and maintained balance as much as possible.
Madam Bu is one of the methods in front of him. He must have favored Madam Bu, but this is not the point. Even if he doesn't like Madam Bu, he will pick out another concubine who is not from Jiangdong and deliberately go against Madam Xu, who is supported by Jiangdong.
Sun Luban may not understand the mystery, but she is determined to make her wife become the queen and become the queen in the future, which is a consistent obsession. As a child, who doesn’t want her biological mother to become the most powerful woman in the harem of the king and father?
Even the gentle, kind, respectful and frugal little rabbit Cao Zhi hopes that Mrs. Xie can become Queen Yongqiu.
For Cao Miao, it is not difficult to make Jiangdong chaotic for a while as long as Sun Luban's fire rises.
Sun Luban was also happy. Cao Miao suspected her strength, so she just wanted to prove her strength. This was what she wanted to solve, and it was the same whether Cao Miao had any questions. "Ask you something."
"Please speak frankly."
"Apart from you, are there other Wei people coming to Wuchang?"
Cao Miao looked suspicious. "The princess is saying..."
