Chapter 1214 Explain the Reason

Zhen Mi said to Cao Pi:

"I just came back to the mansion half an hour ago. I don't look very good."

Cao Pi's heart sank after hearing this.

It seems that his previous guess was right. Cao Zhi must have told me about my father's current condition.

This is a bit difficult.

Zhen Mi saw that Cao Pi's face was not good, so she asked:

"My husband, did something happen to the banquet that I invited my childhood playmates to?"

"Yes, Cao Zhi went to talk to me for a while when the banquet was about to end."

Cao Pi whispered to Zhen Mi.

When Zhen Mi heard that Cao Zhi had met Cao Jie, her expression changed immediately.

Cao Pi had told her before that when she and Cao Jie went to Yecheng to relax, she should not let Cao Jie have the opportunity to meet Cao Zhi.

Unexpectedly, Cao Zhi took the opportunity of Cao Jie attending the banquet to meet Cao Jie.

"My dear husband, has my younger sister known that His Majesty is seriously ill?"

"I should have known it, but I don't know how Cao Zhi told me."

Cao Pi frowned and said to Zhen Mi.

Then Cao Pi continued to say to Zhen Mi:

"I am going to see my younger sister now and ask her what details Cao Zhi told her, otherwise we will be in a passive position."

"Okay, my dear husband, go quickly, I will ask the servants to prepare dinner."

Zhen Mi said to Cao Pi after hearing this.

Then Cao Pi came to the door of Cao Jie's guest room, knocked on the door gently and asked:

"My dear sister, have you rested?"

Cao Jie was waiting for Cao Pi to come to the guest room at this time.

Because according to her guess, Cao Zhi came to meet her and helped her contact her childhood playmate Cao Pi, who would definitely know the news.

So Cao Jie concluded that after she returned to the mansion from the banquet, Cao Pi would definitely find an opportunity to talk to her.

"Brother, I haven't rested yet."

Cao Jie got up, opened the door, and said to Cao Pi.

"How about you walk with me in the garden?"

"Okay."

Faced with Cao Pi's suggestion, Cao Jie agreed directly.

She wanted to hear how Cao Pi would explain the things he had lied to her before.

After the two of them arrived at the garden, Cao Pi asked Cao Jie directly:

"I guess I have already told you about the real condition of my father now?"

"Yes, my second brother has already told me."

Cao Jie was a little surprised by Cao Pi's straightforwardness, and then she said frankly.

"My second brother told me that my father had a stroke and can't speak or move now."

Looking into Cao Pi's eyes, Cao Jie continued.

"It is true!"

After hearing this, Cao Pi said to himself.

Then Cao Pi said to Cao Jie:

"Little sister, I didn't mean to hide my father's illness from you, but the reason can't be explained clearly in one or two sentences."

"It doesn't matter. If you really have a hard time, I'm willing to listen."

Cao Jie just wanted to know why Cao Pi concealed his father's serious illness. After seeing Cao Pi mention it, he said to Cao Pi.

Cao Pi was delighted when he heard it. It seems that my little sister didn't completely believe Cao Zhi's words now.

So he still has a chance to win over Bai Feng to my little sister.

After thinking about the reasons he had thought of in the carriage on the way back to the mansion, Cao Pi began to explain to Cao Jie.

"Little sister, you don't know."

"The day when the emperor had a stroke, my younger brother and I were by his side."

"That day we were talking about the trade between Xianbei and Youzhou."

"Due to the trade between Xianbei and Youzhou, the entire Xianbei is now more peaceful than before."

"The Xianbei cavalry has not looted the border towns of Youzhou since the trade."

"So the emperor is very satisfied with the trade, and he also told me and me that this was a suggestion made by your husband, Hanzhong Hou."

"My younger brother and I both thought that this was a sign of the easing of the relationship between the emperor and Hanzhong Hou, and we were happy about it."

Seeing that Cao Jie was willing to listen to his explanation, Cao Pi told Cao Jie the reason why he concealed Cao Cao's serious illness from beginning to end.

Cao Jie did not expect that Cao Pi would start with the trade between Xianbei and Youzhou.

But at this time, Cao Jie had the time and patience to listen to Cao Pi's explanation.

Then Cao Pi continued to say to Cao Jie:

"So that night, my father, who was in a good mood, and my two brothers drank a few more glasses of wine to celebrate the friendly exchanges between Wei and Xianbei."

"Who knew that the thing that caused my father to have a stroke was these few glasses of wine."

"After my father finished drinking that night, he still had to deal with government affairs. Unexpectedly, my father fell asleep on the table."

"And it rained heavily that night, it can be said that it was windy and rainy, and my father rested in the empty hall, which led to my father's stroke."

When Cao Pi said this, Cao Jie really understood the reason why Cao Cao had a stroke.

Unexpectedly, the source of this matter was actually on her husband Bai Feng.

Cao Jie, who knew the reason, immediately felt a sense of laughter and tears.

"What happened after that?"

Cao Jie couldn't help asking Cao Pi.

"After that, it was my mother who found my father sleeping in the hall and found that my father had had a stroke."

"So the news of the emperor's stroke was known only to my mother, me and my younger brother."

"In order to prevent the court from being shaken by the emperor's stroke, my younger brother and I suggested that my mother let the emperor rest in the Yangxin Palace and find a royal doctor to treat him."

"After the royal doctor's treatment, the emperor finally woke up, but he could no longer speak at that time."

Speaking of this, Cao Pi couldn't help but pause.

Then Cao Pi continued:

"After the emperor woke up and found out about his physical condition, he wrote down the four words "the crown prince is the regent", and then continued to fall asleep."

"But there is no crown prince in Wei now."

When Cao Jie heard this, he immediately understood why Cao Chong sent a letter to Bai Feng, and it mentioned the crown prince's regent.

Then Cao Jie couldn't help but think that Cao Chong should have his own eyes and ears in the palace.

Otherwise, he would not have known such top-secret news.

"So we must keep our father's illness a secret, and wait until he wakes up again to announce who is the crown prince of Wei."

"Before that, we must not spread the news that our father is seriously ill!"

"If I really let my little sister see our father, then this matter can no longer be concealed"
