Quick wear is not a cannon fodder

Cao Rui on the side heard this and knew that this was a fatal matter, so he couldn't admit it, so when he heard Aunt Wu say this, he said: "You are talking nonsense, we didn't let you do this." Then he pretended to be sad, Said: "Our Cao family is not kind to you, right? Why do you want to frame us like this?"

As long as she doesn't admit it, what can they do to her?

Aunt Wu couldn't help but find it funny when she heard Cao Rui's denial, and said: "Since you know that I know the art of witchcraft and Gu, when you know that I say this, you are naturally not afraid that you will not admit it. You might as well say that I have puppet Gu in my hand. , a person who is possessed by this Gu will answer whatever others ask him, and he will never lie. Do you want me to use the puppet Gu to make you admit what you are all planning to do?"

When Cao Rui heard Aunt Wu say this, she was immediately stunned.

Naturally, she couldn't let Aunt Wu cast the puppet poison on her. After all, once she did, what if she revealed that she had the ability to read minds? Are you being treated as a monster? Then it would still be a word of death. It might be better to burn to death, which would be even more terrible. So she didn't know what to say at that moment, but she couldn't confess. Once she confessed, saying that she wanted to harm the prince, the emperor and the empress, what else could she do? Is she alive? So in a flash of thought, he began to beg Emperor Yongqing for mercy, saying: "Although my family members have this idea, I don't want to do this, so although the insect eggs are on my body, I haven't done anything. Please, Your Majesty." Seeing that I have done nothing, please spare my life. I would like to pray for your majesty and the empress every day."

As long as she doesn't die, keeps the green hills, and doesn't have to worry about running out of firewood, she has a son. She may not know that one day her son will win the battle for imperial power, and then she will still have a chance to get up.

So at this time, she planned to sacrifice the Cao family and blame everything on the Cao family. Anyway, she was right, it was the Cao family who was in charge. Of course, as for her long-term desire to enter the palace, her target was the Queen Mother. , the three stumbling blocks of the queen, prince and emperor must be killed, so she hopes that these three people will die more than the Cao family, so naturally she will not say anything.

In fact, for the Cao family, it would be best for their grandson to be the emperor. If he is not the emperor, it would also be good to be a prince. So if Cao Rui hadn't been bewitched, the Cao family might not have dared to attack people in the palace. After all, once If it is found out, the whole family will suffer. If you don't do this, it is still appropriate to be a prince. It is very safe. When the Cao family has a prince grandson, it will also benefit. However, because Cao Rui is very eloquent, The Cao family felt that with such a powerful character as Wu Auntie, they could not compete for the throne, so they agreed with Cao Rui's idea and prepared to eliminate the three stumbling blocks in the palace.

Even though Cao Rui was eloquent, it was a pity that Emperor Yongqing would not give her this opportunity. At that moment, Emperor Yongqing shook the pile of materials and sneered: "You woman, you really know how to talk about this matter." It was done by your family and it has nothing to do with you. I don’t need to put a puppet poison on you to tell you everything. What you do yourself will have its own traces. At the very least, the little eunuch who conveyed the message for you , and the Cao family, but this is not the case! They all said that it was you who took the initiative to ask your family to send Aunt Wu’s Gu! With their testimony, how else do you want to quibble?!"

Emperor Yongqing was very considerate in his work. Since the troops were divided into three groups, one going to Cao's house and the other to Cao's concubine's palace, he naturally investigated the matter of Cao Rui's contact with Cao's family and arrested the person who handled it. Got up and examined the testimony.

Seeing that Cao Rui couldn't deny it, he couldn't help but languished on the ground and couldn't speak anymore. He just thought about how his matter was exposed. How could Emperor Yongqing know about it even though he did it so covertly? ! Moreover, even if he knew, he would have revealed his whereabouts in his heart, let himself know, and then taken precautions in advance. How could Emperor Yongqing not have any movement in his heart, and let himself be caught in a daze? Why didn't my golden finger work at all?

No matter how hard Cao Rui didn't understand, he knew that he had no way to survive after being directly stolen by Emperor Yongqing.

Sure enough, Emperor Yongqing soon issued an explicit edict, saying that the Cao family and Cao's concubines were trying to use witchcraft to harm himself, the prince and the queen. The Cao family also killed many officials and was sentenced to death. After killing her, Concubine Cao sent her on her way with a glass of poisonous wine. As for her child, because she was still young and the emperor couldn't do anything with such a young child, he gave it to other concubines to raise.

Naturally, Cao Rui didn't want to die like this. Seeing that she was about to die, she strongly demanded to see Emperor Yongqing, saying that she had something important to tell him and let him listen before deciding whether to execute her.

Emperor Yongqing listened to the person below and was a little curious about what she wanted to say, but he was afraid that she was more than just a mind-reader, so he met her immediately, just for safety, and did not retreat.

Cao Rui looked at it and said, "Your Majesty, you'd better step away from this important matter, so that I can talk about it more conveniently."

After all, if everyone knows that they can read minds, how can others use it if they are on guard in the future? Then she would be useless to Emperor Yongqing, and he might not keep her. However, she also knew that Emperor Yongqing might be afraid of her because of the previous witchcraft incident, so she immediately said: "Your Majesty, I am not a concubine. Only Aunt Wu can know the art of witchcraft, so Your Majesty does not need to worry, we are alone, what can I do to Your Majesty?"

But could Emperor Yongqing believe her? It is common for emperors to be suspicious. Even if Emperor Yongqing was not so suspicious, he would not be alone with a dangerous person, so he disagreed and said calmly: "These are all trustworthy people. If you have anything to say, just tell me." Tell me."

Cao Rui saw that Emperor Yongqing just refused to back down, so he had no choice. After all, he couldn't keep silent and annoyed Emperor Yongqing, so he would push him down and kill him, right?

So he immediately said: "Since Your Majesty said so, that's fine, then I'll say it. Your Majesty, I have the ability to read minds. Even if you treat me as a monster, in order to survive, I don't care about it. I can only I have spoken out about my ability. Your Majesty, this ability is very useful. If you want to know the thoughts of which minister or concubine in the harem, just let me listen and I can tell you, so that you don’t have to be afraid of anyone in the future. I am reliable, so since I am so useful, please spare my life."

As soon as she said this, Emperor Yongqing was okay. After all, he knew such a thing. But when the other eunuchs or guards heard this, their faces couldn't help but look shocked, especially some who were closer to Cao Rui. The eunuch who had always felt that Empress Cao understood people's hearts and could speak to their hearts every time she spoke, making them feel comfortable, now couldn't help but turn dark.
