Can I get to the other side?

While the Embroidered Clothes Envoy and Pang De were secretly planning, Cao Cao, who was far away in Jingzhou, also received the news brought back by the envoy.

In the Taishou Mansion of Xiangyang City.

Cao Cao placed his rice bowl heavily on the table and said angrily: "Crack the earth to make him king? Who does he think he is!"

"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!"

He was still dubious when the court claimed that Ma Chao wanted to make himself king, but now he completely believes it.

This guy is really so arrogant!

Xun You said helplessly: "Ma Chao is now waiting for a price. Judging from his attitude, if Sikong does not agree to his conditions, he will not join forces with us."

"And he also said that he wanted to see Sikong's sincerity and let us send troops to help him contain Lu Bu. This is the prerequisite for joining forces."

The envoy to Chang'an was Xun You, and he spelled out Ma Chao's conditions in detail.

The more Cao Cao listened, the more annoyed he became. He laughed angrily and said, "You don't know the heights of the world. If you don't want to join forces, let him wait for death!"

"I want to see if he can survive this winter!"

The imperial court is so powerful that neither he nor Ma Chao can compete with the imperial court alone. The only way is for both sides to join forces.

He thought Ma Chao also understood this, but it turned out that this guy was arrogant and thought he was invincible, and even made such unreasonable conditions to him!

At present, Cao Cao has completely given up the idea of ​​joining forces with Ma Chao. He is just waiting to see how Ma Chao will be defeated and killed by the imperial army!

"Sikong, Ma Chao is a short-sighted rat, why bother with him?"

Xun Yu heard this and persuaded him: "If Ma Chao is defeated, the puppet emperor's next target will be Jingzhou."

"The so-called lips are dead and the teeth are cold. No matter what, Ma Chao cannot be destroyed by Lu Bu."

Even though Ma Chao's request was unreasonable, they could not choose to sit back and watch Ma Chao be destroyed. This would not be beneficial to them.

Because if Ma Chao dies, it will be their turn next.

Cao Cao frowned and looked at Xun Yu, and said displeasedly: "Na Wenruo, do you mean that I should agree to his conditions and report to the emperor to make him the King of Liang?"

"No."

Xun Yu shook his head and said sternly: "Of course it is impossible to break the earth and make a king. It is a rule set by Emperor Gaozu that people with the surname Liu cannot be made king. How dare I open the door to the king for Ma Chaoda?"

"What I mean is that although we cannot agree to Ma Chao's conditions, we cannot sit back and watch him be destroyed. We should send troops to help."

Xun You nodded slightly and agreed: "I also think that troops should be sent, at least to contain part of the puppet emperor's troops."

"It is most beneficial to Sikong to let him and the puppet emperor's soldiers and horses consume each other."

Xun Yu and Xun You's successive admonitions gradually calmed down Cao Cao. Although he didn't want to send troops to help Ma Chao, he had to admit that what Xun Yu and his nephew said was right.

Ma Chao cannot be destroyed at present, and must be used as his shield to attract the attention of the court, allowing him time to accumulate strength.

"Then send troops."

Cao Cao said reluctantly: "Let Cao Ren lead 30,000 troops to attack Bingzhou and disperse Zhang Liao's troops, but be sure not to confront him head-on."

"Just make it impossible for them to attack Ma Chao with all their strength."

After saying these words, Cao Cao felt as sick as if he had eaten a fly. He even lost his appetite for food, so he stood up and left the table.

…

After making the decision to return home, Zhen Mi only recuperated in the palace for a few days. After her condition improved a little, she set off to return to her hometown.

Eager to return home, the convoy didn't stop much along the way and arrived in Wuji County in less than half a month.

Outside Zhen's Mansion.

Zhen Yi led all the brothers from the Zhen family to wait outside the mansion in person early. When they saw the slowly approaching carriage, they immediately went forward with everyone to salute and greet it.

"I've met noble people."

Although Zhen Mi is a daughter of the Zhen family, she becomes the emperor's concubine after entering the palace. In terms of status, her status is far more noble than anyone else in the Zhen family. Therefore, even if they are Zhen Mi's elders, they must have the proper etiquette.

With the help of the maid, Zhen Mi slowly stepped out of the carriage.

She raised her head and looked at the Zhen Mansion, which was covered with silk in front of her. She couldn't help but feel sad. She asked Zhen Yi with red eyes: "Brother, why did my mother die so suddenly?"

Her mother, Zhang, was only in her forties this year. She never expected that her mother, who had always been in good health, would suddenly die of illness.

Zhen Yi also had a sad look on his face, and sighed: "It snowed heavily not long ago, and many people were affected by the disaster. My mother personally led the children of the clan to rescue the victims, but she never thought that she would accidentally catch the wind and cold, and she would not be able to survive after returning. He passed away soon."

Wind-chill can be a serious or minor disease. Mild symptoms can be cured by just a few days of rest, while severe symptoms can be life-threatening.

Hearing this, Zhen Mi could hardly help but burst into tears, choking and saying, "I want to go to pay homage to my mother."

"Now?"

Zhen Yi had a look of hesitation on his face and said, "It's snowing heavily now, and you've been trekking all the way. It's better to go to the mansion and rest first."

"I have ordered someone to clean your room. You have a good rest for a day. We will go to pay homage tomorrow."

Due to the long journey, Zhen Mi couldn't hide the look of exhaustion on her face. Zhen Yi made this suggestion considering her health.

However, Zhen Mi shook her head and said: "It doesn't matter, just go now, it won't waste much time."

Seeing Zhen Mi's persistence, Zhen Yi couldn't persuade her anymore.

After ordering people to prepare some offerings for the memorial service, he accompanied Zhen Mi to the Zhen family tomb.

All the well-known and well-known families have clan cemeteries, where the clan members, their wives, and children who died young will be buried.

Accompanied by Zhen Yi, Zhen Mi entered the cemetery and came to the tomb of their family, where there were already four tombstones.

They were her father, mother, and two deceased brothers.

Seeing her mother's tombstone, Zhen Mi's tears instantly surged, and she knelt down crying and said, "Mother, I am unfilial... I am back to see you."

Zhen Mi lost her father at a young age, and her mother Zhang raised her up, and she had a very deep relationship with her mother.

Since her brother Zhen Yan passed away last time and she went home to mourn, she has never seen her mother again, and she didn't expect that the next time they met, they would be separated forever.

She will never have the chance to make up for this regret.

The cemetery was filled with sadness. The whistling cold wind blew the branches of the cypress trees beside the mausoleum, as if gently comforting Zhen Mi.

Hearing Zhen Mi's cry, Zhen Yi was also very sad and silently raised his hand to wipe away his tears.

The elder of the second family came forward and whispered: "The snow is getting heavier. It's freezing cold. Let the noble return home early to rest."

"Don't freeze yourself."

Zhen Mi is a concubine. If she also catches a cold and something goes wrong, then he, the Zhen family, can't afford it.

And now the prosperity of the entire Zhen family depends on Zhen Mi alone. She must not make any mistakes.

Zhen Yi sighed slightly, and said to Zhen Mi: "Sister, come back to worship mother in a few days."

"It's too cold outside, you are weak, don't catch a cold."

His mother died because of a cold, and he didn't want to see Zhen Mi suffer the same fate.

Zhen Mi was crying sadly in front of the tombstone. When she heard the words, she was about to speak, but she couldn't help but retching as soon as she opened her mouth.

"Sister, what's wrong with you?"

Zhen Yi was shocked and hurried forward to check on Zhen Mi.

Zhen Mi's face was full of tears. She was about to say that she was fine, but she retched again when she opened her mouth.

"This..."

The second-house elder on the side saw this, and his face suddenly showed shock, and he couldn't help but look up at the other elders on the side.

And their faces were also full of surprise.

Reading the error-free version! 6=9+Book_Bar first published this novel.

They were old and experienced, and they knew what the woman's sudden retching meant, and they all had an incredible guess in their hearts.

Zhen Yi hadn't realized this yet, and hurriedly asked someone to help Zhen Mi leave the mausoleum and take a carriage back to Zhen Mansion.

On the way back to Zhen Mansion, Zhen Mi retched several times, which made Zhen Yi more worried, so he found a doctor as soon as he returned to the mansion.

In the wing room.

Zhen Mi was half lying on the couch, looking a little weak.

A doctor next to her was taking her pulse and asked: "Excuse me, have you often felt nauseous and retched recently?"

Zhen Mi thought about it, then nodded and said: "Indeed, there is such a situation."

She had occasional retching when she was in Yecheng before, and more on the road, but she thought it was motion sickness that caused her physical discomfort, so she didn't care.

But now it seems that it is not because of motion sickness. Could she have a serious illness?

Thinking of this, Zhen Mi suddenly became nervous.

The doctor twisted his beard lightly and asked, "Does the noble feel anorexia, drowsiness, sleepiness, and like to eat sour food?"

"Yes... Doctor, am I sick?"

Zhen Mi became more and more worried.

Zhen Yi on the side also said anxiously: "What disease does my sister have? How to treat it?"

"As long as you can cure my sister's illness, we can afford it no matter how much the consultation fee is!"

"Just ask what medicine you need!"

Zhen Mi's safety is the most important. Whether it is for the benefit of the entire Zhen family or personal feelings, he doesn't want Zhen Mi to get into trouble.

The doctor shook his head, then smiled and said, "The head of the Zhen family misunderstood... The noble is not sick, but pregnant!"

This sentence shocked everyone present.

Pregnant?

Zhen Yi was stunned, Zhen Mi was stunned on the spot, and the faces of the second family elders and others were full of ecstasy!

As expected!

When they saw Zhen Mi's retching reaction before, they guessed that she might be pregnant, but they didn't expect that she was actually pregnant!

Zhen Mi looked dazed, and said in disbelief: "I, I am pregnant?"

"May the ancestors bless you! May the ancestors bless you!"

The elder of the third house knelt down in the direction of the Zhen family tomb on the spot, and said excitedly: "My Zhen children are pregnant with the heir of the dragon. This is the fortune of my Zhen family and the fortune of the Han Dynasty!"

Lu Bu's daughter was the first to get pregnant, but Zhen Mi, who entered the palace first, had no movement in her stomach. Now she is finally pregnant!

This is the second heir of the emperor!

In this way, Zhen Mi will have the confidence to compete for the position of queen in the future, and their Zhen family will have hope to take off!

Zhen Mi finally reacted to this matter, and then her beautiful eyes showed an indescribable moving look, and her pretty face was slightly red because of excitement.

"Child, I finally have a child..."

Zhen Mi touched her belly and cried with joy.

She had waited for this child for too long.

She has been in the palace for four years, and the child has always been her concern. When she learned that Lv Lingqi was pregnant, she was so envious.

Now that the long-cherished wish has come true, this feeling is like a dream, and even makes her feel unreal.

Zhen Yi still couldn't believe it, and repeatedly confirmed with the doctor: "Sir, are you sure? This kind of thing can't be careless!"

The doctor said firmly: "I have been practicing medicine for 30 years, and I can still tell the pulse of pregnancy. Moreover, the various signs shown by the noble lady are also those of a pregnant woman. It is impossible to be wrong."

"The noble lady is indeed pregnant."

He knew Zhen Mi's identity. If he dared to say it, he would be making fun of his nine clans.

"Dragon heir..."

Zhen Yi muttered to himself. This sudden and huge surprise made him a little dizzy. He held on to the table beside him to stand firm.

After taking a deep breath, Zhen Yi suppressed his joy and ordered: "Immediately find the famous doctors and midwives in the city and let them live in the mansion! At the same time, send all the ginseng, snow lotus, bear paws, rhinoceros horns, and deer antlers from various medicine shops!"

"Remove the mourning clothes in all places in the mansion, it's too unlucky; and sweep the snow in all the courtyards in the mansion, and then light the fire!"

"Maids... Yes! Call all the maids in the mansion to serve!"

Zhen Yi kept giving orders in a hurried tone, and the whole Zhen mansion suddenly became busy.

Then he said to Zhen Mi seriously: "Sister, you have a good rest here, don't walk around, remember!"

"Everything is the most important for the dragon heir!"

Zhen Mi opened her mouth slightly, wanting to say that there was no need to make such a fuss, but after seeing her brother's serious expression, she nodded.

After all, this is her first child, which is of great significance to both her and the Zhen family. It is normal to be careful.

Then Zhen Yi called the maid to stay and take care of it, and then left the wing room with the elders of each house and went to the hall to discuss matters.

"The opportunity for my Zhen family to prosper has finally come!"

"We must report this matter back to Yecheng as soon as possible and report it to the emperor, so that the court and the public will know this good news!"

Zhen Yi said after a long breath, with excitement in his eyes, and his hands were shaking slightly because of excitement.

The significance of the dragon heir is extraordinary.

Even if Zhen Mi is favored, she will not have enough confidence to compete for the position of queen without the dragon heir, but everything will be completely different with the dragon heir.

From then on, his Zhen family's status in the court will undergo earth-shaking changes, and all the major families must look at them squarely, and even take the initiative to curry favor with them!
