Three Kingdoms, I open a tavern in Xudu

On the afternoon of the second day after Cao Pi confessed everything to Cao Ang, Princess Wannian returned to their small yard and found Xia Houlian hanging from the beam and hanged herself.

During this period of time, Xia Houlian has been living in Cao's house, and Princess Wannian has a good relationship with her.

Seeing this scene suddenly, Princess Wannian hurriedly called the family.

But it was too late when people came, Xia Houlian completely lost her breath, and Princess Wannian was very lonely.

"It's me who should die." She thought to herself.

However, she didn't have the same courage as Xia Houlian, so she laughed at herself and asked someone to send Xia Houlian's body back to Xia Houlian's house. As for what happened next, she didn't want to pay any more attention.

In the evening, in the middle of the night.

After everyone fell asleep, Princess Wannian came to the room where Cao Ang was locked up.

The current Cao Ang is in the same state as yesterday, his whole body is twitching, he looks more and more like a lunatic, and he can't even sleep peacefully.

In just one or two days, Cao Ang became extremely thin, almost only a layer of skin remained, covering the bones.

The effect of that medicine powder is really powerful.

"Husband!" Princess Wannian said.

"What are you doing here? Are you watching my joke? Get out!" Cao Ang's voice was still hoarse.

"Lian'er, dead!" Princess Wannian said.

boom!

Cao Ang froze in place as if being struck by thunder, as if his world collapsed in an instant.

His love for Xia Houlian is definitely from the heart, and he did not cheat.

Even after that kind of thing happened, his heart was unwavering.

The news of Xia Houlian's death seemed to him that life had no meaning.

"How did Lian'er die? Did Cao Pi kill him? I'm going to kill him now!"

Afterwards, Cao Ang yelled angrily, got up and wanted to go outside, but his hands and feet were weak.

"suicide!"

Princess Wannian lamented: "Lian'er also knows the truth, and she can't accept the fact that your husband has become like this."

"Lian'er!"

In the past few days, Cao Ang has never cried, no matter how painful it is, tonight is his exception.

Princess Wannian said again: "Husband, I will take you out of here."

"I'm already like this. Is it still useful to leave?" Cao Ang smiled wryly.

"Go to Chen Yang, it's useful."

Princess Wannian said: "As long as you can overcome that pain and start over, you just need to find Chen Yang and ask him to help you regain everything you lost. He has the ability to do it."

In their hearts, there was nothing Chen Yang couldn't do, almost omnipotent.

Cao Ang also thought that going to Chen Yang might be his only way out, but he smiled wryly: "If I treat him like that, will he still help me? He can't wait to kill me."

"If you don't try it, how will you know the result?"

Princess Wannian continued: "Could it be possible, husband, that you can be depressed for the rest of your life, and watch Cao Pi take away everything that originally belonged to you? Even Mrs. Ding might be bullied by him?"

Cao Ang clenched his fists, and his heart was struggling violently. He was afraid of the result and also afraid of losing.

"As long as my husband is willing to ask Chen Yang, based on the relationship between you, he will not sit idly by. If Cao Pi drives the Huns away, he will definitely not let Lujiang go, so he will be willing to resist together with my husband." Wan Nian The princess continued to persuade.

After a long time, Cao Ang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Perhaps, you are right!"

He wants to take it back, all of this!

"How can I leave?" Cao Ang asked.

"Husband, don't worry, I have prepared everything for you." Princess Wannian said.

Sure enough, she prepared everything, took advantage of the night, pretended Cao Ang to be an ordinary servant, and took him away from Cao's mansion.

Cao Ang could barely walk, but it was very difficult and he could only be supported by Princess Wannian.

As soon as I walked outside, I encountered patrolling soldiers. There was a curfew in this era, and people were not allowed to go out at night.

Princess Wannian revealed the badge of the Cao family, and the soldiers did not dare to stop her.

They walked all the way to the vicinity of the imperial city, where several eunuchs had already arrived, waiting for them.

"Eunuch Li, I'm sorry." Princess Wannian said.

Eunuch Li is also an old man of the Han Dynasty. He used to be in charge of serving Princess Wannian in daily life.

With her marriage, Eunuch Li was left idle and could only do some hard work, such as taking the garbage from the palace outside the city and dumping it.

Even though the imperial palace is now under the control of the Cao family, and Eunuch Li was once bribed, he still treats Princess Wannian sincerely.

"Husband, hide inside." Princess Wannian said again.

There were several carriages beside her, and there were stinking garbage in them. Princess Wannian hid them directly without hesitation.

Cao Ang refused at first, but saw that Princess Wannian could do the same. What is the difference between himself and the garbage in front of him?

He smiled wryly, and finally hid in.

Until dawn, Eunuch Li transported the garbage out of the city, because it was all tattered and smelly, and there would be no soldiers to check it, so the two of them went outside smoothly.

Coming out of the garbage, they were in a mess.

After saying goodbye to Eunuch Li, Cao Ang continued on his way with the help of Princess Wannian.

Keeping away from Xudu all the time, Cao Ang couldn't move, so they took a rest for a while.

"I have a doubt, why did you help me?" Cao Ang asked puzzled.

"I want to atone for the wrong things I have done."

Princess Wannian's eyes were complicated, and she said, "I can only walk here with you, and I have to go back. If they can't find you or me, they might do something to Mrs. Ding."

Cao Ang did not insist on letting her continue walking with him, because he should have walked this road by himself, nodded and said: "You help me take care of my mother, wait for me to come back, and... your matter, I have already forgiven you .”

Princess Wannian smiled knowingly. At this moment, she felt relieved.

"Go on, go to Lujiang, don't look back until you find Chen Yang, otherwise all hope will no longer exist." Princess Wannian said again.

Cao Ang had enough rest and continued on his way.

He became more and more dissatisfied with his body, and after walking for a long time, the pain broke out again, and he really became dependent on that medicine powder.

"I can quit, or I can forget it, I will!" Cao Ang gritted his teeth until he bled, he broke a branch, and stabbed it hard in his leg.

I hope I can use the pain to make him forget the pain.

I have to say that this seems to have some effect, but it is more useless thighs.

After Princess Wannian and Cao Ang separated, she did not return to Xudu, but found a tree that was not too tall, and tied a hemp rope to the tree after a lot of hard work.

"How can a person like me deserve your forgiveness?"

Princess Wannian moved another not too big stone and placed it on top of several small stones.

She thought about it, and in fact, death is not so terrible.

When she saw Xia Houlian's death, she hesitated and worried, thinking about what had happened to her, she knew that death was the best atonement.

In fact, it was her way of avoiding it.

She stepped on the big rock, stuck her head into the rope, and murmured: "I hope that when I die, it won't be too painful."

Then she stepped hard and the stone fell down, she still cried out in pain.

Like Xia Houlian, she committed suicide on the rope.

Cao Ang knew nothing about these things.
