The Three Kingdoms: The Cold Gate World

Chapter 67 The Emperor's Heart
Looking at the great Han Dynasty, those in power who have a little knowledge have begun to accumulate strength and accumulate strength to achieve the purpose of calming internal strife and foreign aggression. What's more, those who foresee the separatist situation of the princes have begun to dream of Duke Huan of Qi.

Gongsun Zan in Liaoxi, Tao Gongzu in Xuzhou, Dong Zhongying in Xiliang, Liu Junlang in Yizhou...

It's ridiculous that the civil and military cronies in the imperial city of the imperial capital still intrigue every day, playing the game of political strife endlessly.

More than three months ago, the most shocking event in the imperial capital was Guo Jia's bloody battle at the East Gate. After that, there was a small incident that worried the Luoyang scholars: Cai Yan, a talented woman well-known in Luoyang, disappeared.

There is no news about Cai Yan's life or death. I don't know how many young handsome men sighed with frowns. There are also many people who privately mobilize family forces to find them. They just don't know whether to send Cai Yan back to Cai's mansion after finding Cai Yan, or have other plans. Then Only they know it.

Two months ago, Cai Yan, who not only caused Cai Yong and his wife to suffer for a long time, but also made the handsome talents a little bit emaciated, finally returned safely. After hearing the news, the talented people in Luoyang rushed to tell each other, and then went to visit Cai's mansion together .

Unexpectedly, Cai Yan, who was covered with wind and frost, contracted the wind and cold, and was ill in bed. After the doctor saw it, he congratulated Cai Yong again and again.

The doctor who signaled the pulse said "I am happy for the daughter", so Cai Yong beat him out of the mansion with a stick.

Talented scholars who cared about Cai Yan found that the Cai Mansion refused customers behind closed doors, and they were so yearning, they had no choice but to ask the doctor who came to see Cai Yan, what disease did Cai Yan suffer from?

There are right and wrong when rumors start.

The news that Cai Yan was pregnant with Liujia spread like wildfire, and the handsome and talented scholars in Luoyang City felt as if they had been struck by a bolt from the blue sky. With tears in their eyes, they shook their heads in disbelief, so they had to inquire about the news around. Weihao's daughter spread such rumors, and naturally her reputation was damaged. Even if her friends who had been visiting for many years came to visit her, he would never see her.

Later, nearly a hundred scholars in Luoyang City gathered around the gate of Cai's mansion, and they kept saying that they wanted to visit Cai Yong, and asked the teacher, what is the actual plan, everyone tacitly.

The gate of the Cai Mansion was opened, and the handsome Cai Yan finally appeared in the sight of everyone again. Many scholars were excited to cry on the spot, but what Cai Yan said next made them want to cry even more excitedly cry.

Cai Yan, who was once gentle and elegant, was gone. This time, her eyes were indifferent, and she looked up slightly, as if the scholars outside the mansion were unattractive, and the soft tone in the past disappeared, and her indifference and calmness seemed more like contempt.

"You want to know if I'm really pregnant. Let me tell you, I'm pregnant with Liujia. You must want to know who the father of the child is. I'll tell you too, Guo Jia."

The orchid-like Cai Yan seemed to have finished talking about an ordinary matter, and turned back to the house.

There was a complete silence outside the mansion, and after an unknown amount of time, the Luoyang scholars finally broke out in the silence, as if they had been humiliated, and began to curse Cai Yan, shameless, a slut...

The venting of these Luoyang scholars was just a trivial matter, but it caused a big disturbance in the court.

Shi Changshi took the opportunity to attack the gentry, and asked for a thorough investigation of Guo Jia's party members in the court on the grounds that Cai Yan had an affair with the rebel Guo Jia.

If Guo Jia had party members in the imperial court, the first to bear the brunt was the Xun family, and then Jian Shuo among the ten permanent servants.

why?Because the edict to pardon Guo Jia was submitted to the emperor after the Xun family made a statement and Jian Shuo confirmed that it was correct.

So you come and go, fight openly and secretly, and the three parties, relatives, eunuchs, and nobles, are involved in the fight.

When the Xun family was in trouble, the general could not just sit back and watch, because Xun You was his aide and served as the servant of the Huangmen.

The gentry could not let the eunuchs take advantage of the problem to eradicate dissidents, so the Yuan family took the lead in keeping the Xun family's children headed by Xun Shuang.

The ten permanent servants also died down in the end, after all, it involved Jian Shuo and a Prince Xie they supported, and the Prince Xie was supporting Xun Yu.

The invisible swords and swords in the court are over, but she personally admitted that Cai Yan had an affair with Guo Jia and became pregnant. This cannot be let go, so Cai Yong was dismissed, Cai Yan was thrown into the sky prison, and exiled after being corrupted northwest.

If Guo Jia hadn't been involved in the matter, and Guo Jia is now classified as treason, otherwise Cai Yan would not have been implicated at all, at best, he would have insulted the family tradition, been cast aside by others, and oppressed by moral public opinion.

"Yan'er, you, why are you so stupid, why did you say it?"

In the dark and smelly prison, Cai's mother took out her family's savings for many years to open up layers of connections before meeting her daughter Cai Yan.

Seeing Cai Yan rudely gobble up the food she brought, disregarding her appearance, Cai's mother kept crying.

Cai Yan, who was once imprisoned by Guo Jia at the foot of the Taihang Mountains, only had a few mouthfuls of food at this time, and she seemed to have a big appetite at this time, but she had obviously choked several times and wanted to vomit, but she still forced the food into her mouth.

Cai Yan ate at least five times more food than usual, finally stopped, leaned back, pressed his back against the cold wall, closed his eyes calmly, raised the corners of his mouth lightly, and said lightly, "Stupid? I Cai Yan is a man who is willing to commit himself, why can't he say it?"

Cai's mother, who was wiping her tears, was taken aback when she heard the words. Seeing that her daughter didn't know how to repent at this time, she choked up and said, "Could it be, aren't you afraid that people in the world will laugh at you?"

Cai Yan seemed to hear a joke, and laughed softly, but did not answer her mother's question.

ridicule?Guo Jia, will you let me be ridiculed by the people of the world?One day, one day, people in the world can laugh at me, Cai Yan, but they must kneel in front of you and pay respects. If you want to laugh at me, you can only keep it in your heart forever.

"Yan'er, what should I do now? You are going to be ready in half a month... The master refuses to come forward to ask His Majesty for mercy. Could it be that there is no other way?"

No matter what her daughter did wrong, Cai's mother definitely couldn't bear to see her daughter being corrupted and exiled to the bitter cold in the northwest, but Cai Yong was a great Confucian, and his daughter did such a detrimental thing to her family, she lost her face, how could she come forward to intercede?The open and secret struggle in the court over this matter has just come to an end, and no one would like to make another disturbance because of this matter and cause trouble for the upper body.

Cai Yan leaned against the wall and closed his eyes to rest his mind and said softly: "There is only one person who can save me."

"Who?" Mother Cai seemed to be grabbing a life-saving straw, with a look of hope in her eyes.

"Guo Jia."

Mother Cai showed doubts on her face, and asked hesitantly: "He, he has a way? Will he come?"

Raising his head and opening his eyes, looking at the top of the dark dungeon, Cai Yan squinted his eyes and said indifferently: "One who becomes a hegemony doesn't care about the gains and losses of a city or a place, let alone a woman?"

Guo Jia, if you forcefully break into Luoyang to rob the prison, then I, Cai Yan, have misjudged you.

After I die, your emperor's heart will completely germinate.

Gently caressing her lower abdomen with her hand, Cai Yan looked up with a rare tenderness in her eyes.

It's a pity, if I had known that I was pregnant, I would have waited for the child to be born before returning to Luoyang.

Guo Jia, your child and I must be born out of blue, we must...

Xun Yu, who has been cautious in his words and deeds in recent days, went straight back to his residence after leaving Changle Palace.

As soon as he entered the gate of the mansion, the servants reported to him that someone was visiting, claiming that Yingchuan was an old man.

Xun Yu was puzzled, Guo Jia had become an imperial court prisoner, and it was absolutely impossible for him to enter Luoyang again. As for Yingchuan's old friend, who else could there be besides Guo Jia?
When he walked into the study, he was taken aback when he saw someone coming, and then he smiled in surprise and said, "Yuan Zhi! Oh, I should have thought it was you."

Xu Shu bowed to Xun Yu. He and Xun Yu had only met each other a few times, and their acquaintance was not as good as Xi Zhicai. Guo Jia and Xun Yu had a deep friendship, but there was no doubt that they believed in each other.

After the two sat down and served tea, Xun Yu asked straight to the point, "Where is Fengxiao?"

Since Xu Shu came, Guo Jia must also come.

Xu Shu knew that he couldn't hide Wang Zuozhi's talent, Xun Yu, so he nodded and smiled and said, "Feng Xiao is at the foot of Beiman Mountain outside Luoyang City."

After hearing this, Xun Yu put away his smile and asked tentatively, "Is Feng Xiao's trip here for Miss Cai?"

Xu Shu didn't hide anything, and said: "Feng Xiao learned that Miss Cai was in prison a few days ago, so he hurried over here. I came here to save Miss Cai."

Regarding this, Xun Yu sighed, "Yuan Zhi, I heard that Miss Cai was in trouble, and I wanted to help her, but now there is no one in Luoyang City who can save her."

Xu Shu restrained his smile and said, "I think so too. There are only three people who can save Miss Cai, General He Jin, Grand Tutor Yuan Kui, and Zhongchang Attendant Zhang Rang. The three are relatives, gentry, and eunuch leaders. The court game has become a delicate situation, and at this time, no one will fight again, especially helping Feng Xiao, it is tantamount to setting himself on fire."

Everyone has a discerning eye on the current situation and the situation, and they can see it more clearly than anyone else, so Xun Yu is powerless, but he doesn't understand. With Guo Jia's intellect, it is not difficult to see the current situation. If he wants to save Cai Yan, there is only one last way left : Prison robbery.

But this approach is like moths jumping into a flame to kill themselves.

If the sky prison is easy to rob, then it can't be called the sky prison that is easy to enter and hard to get out, surrounded by dangers.

Guessing that Guo Jia might take the risk and gather a crowd to rob the prison, Xun Yu hurriedly asked, "How many people did Feng Xiao bring here?"

Xu Shu anticipated Xun Yu's worries and said, "This time, it's just me and Feng Xiao."

Unexpectedly, the guess in his mind was in vain, and Xun Yu didn't know what Guo Jia's plan was, so he asked, "Then what is Feng Xiao's clever plan to save Miss Cai?"

Since it is not a prison robbery, there is only one way to outsmart.

Xu Shu said softly with a smile on his face: "Feng Xiao sent me here, just want Wen Ruo to make an appointment for him, and go to Beiman Mountain to meet him."

"who?"

Xun Yu couldn't guess that in the current situation, who else has the energy to rescue Cai Yan. After all, no one from relatives, eunuchs, and nobles will come forward to intercede for Cai Yan.

"Prince Association."

Hearing the answer from Xu Shu's mouth, Xun Yu's face froze for a moment, and then he suddenly realized, and said with joy, "Feng Xiao really has a plan. At this moment, only the prince is on the sidelines but wants to step in and muddy the water."
