Yuan Shao, the father of Fanghua in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1057 Entrustment
Xun Yu didn't understand why Mrs. Ding chose to stay. Could it be that she was threatened by Yuan Xi?
He carefully observed Mrs. Ding's expression and found that her face was calm and showed no sign of reluctance at all. He couldn't help but think thoughtfully. There must be some inside story that he had not guessed!

Yuan Xi saw Xun Yu's expression at the side and secretly said that something was wrong. Now that you know Madam’s wishes, please come back.”

Xun Yu raised his head and glanced at Yuan Xi. He bowed to Mrs. Ding without saying a word and then left. When Yuan Xi saw this, he also walked out.

When Yuan Xi saw Xun Yu walking in front of him expressionlessly, he couldn't help feeling a little guilty. He still underestimated Xun Yu. Could it be that he had guessed it?
Xun Yu walked all the way to the sycamore forest in the atrium before he stopped. He looked up at the green shade that covered half of the courtyard. After a moment of silence, he said, "Yu, I have something to ask of you."

Yuan Xi didn't react for a moment and replied: "Please tell me."

Xun Yu turned to Yuan Xi, cupped his hands, and said calmly: "Yu wants to see that lady."

Yuan Xi subconsciously wanted to say, haven't you seen Mrs. Ding?
Which other lady?

Immediately, his body trembled and he looked up at Xun Yu. He saw the other person staring directly into his eyes and said, "Your Majesty, you should know which lady Xun Yu is talking about."

"The one who stands tallest."

Yuan Xi's expression changed, "Xi doesn't know what your Majesty is talking about."

Xun Yu said leisurely: "The person I'm talking about is not the one just now."

He frowned and said, "Why do you want to see the Queen?"

Da Qiao replied: "I feel a little energetic today. I am now basking in the sun on the bamboo chair in the atrium. I was talking to her earlier."

Seeing this, Yuan Xi said: "It's okay, are you up today?"

Xun Yu said calmly: "I will return to Xudu and report to Cao Gong that that person may not be dead."

Seeing that Xun Yu was such a bachelor, Yuan Xi murmured in his heart, did you come to Shouchun to die, or did you come to cause trouble?

Yuan Xi's expression changed drastically, "How did you guess it?"

Xun Yu bowed down, bowed deeply, and said to Yuan Xi, "Please make it complete."

Yuan Xi hesitated again and again, and then said to Xun Yu: "Please come with me."

"After the Battle of Wancheng, her eyes were full of death, but now her eyes are full of life."

Yuan Xi nodded and said, "Let's go together."

It was Da Qiao who opened the door. She was not surprised when she saw Yuan Xi, but when she saw a strange-looking scholar following Yuan Xi, a look of confusion appeared on her face.

The two walked through the long corridor and walked all the way to the backyard. This place was originally the site of Yuan Shu's palace. After conquering Shouchun, Yuan Xi sold it to the local Jianghuai gentry at a price to raise military expenses.

Yuan Xi sneered and said: "I didn't know that your Majesty would be angry, so I definitely can't let you go."

Xun Yu replied: "I have known Mrs. Ding for many years, so I naturally know what she cares about."

The two walked to the back courtyard and found a small courtyard with a closed door. Yuan Xi knocked on the door a few times, and after a while, someone opened the door latch.

Yuan Xi sneered: "Even if the queen is not dead, what can Cao Cao do to me?"

Only then did Yuan Xi understand. He opened his eyes wide in surprise, "Your Majesty, to the Emperor..."

Xun Yu said calmly: "It doesn't matter, anyway, Xun Yu doesn't have a few days to live."

The Jianghuai nobles were also very sensible and did not come to help after buying it. Instead, they found an excuse to return the courtyard. Yuan Xi simply opened up the courtyard and turned it into an official residence in the front, while the courtyard in the back was used to accommodate the female family members and Mrs. Ding Cao Qing. These hostages.

Xun Yu was silent for a long time before speaking out: "Entrusted by others."

The three of them entered the courtyard and turned around the screen wall to find the atrium. Suddenly, their eyes opened up. Xun Yu, who was following behind, only caught his first glimpse of the woman sitting on the bamboo chair.

She turned her back to everyone, wore dark clothes, and reclined on a large bamboo chair. After experiencing countless tortures and being beaten several times from the hell gate, her figure was extremely thin and thin, as if she could be blown away by a gust of wind.

There was a blanket on her knees. It was made of northern fox fur. The fluff was very long. She was putting her fingers into the fur to keep warm. Although it was almost summer, her shoulders were trembling slightly, and she seemed to be in a good mood. It's winter.

Da Qiao whispered: "She is still very weak. I was afraid that she would catch a cold. I tried to persuade her to go back to the house, but she didn't listen."

The woman heard Da Qiao's words and replied: "When I have been in a dark prison and a bone-black coffin, I know how precious the sun in the sky is to me."

"I don't want to let go of the sunshine that shines down at all. I would rather die in broad daylight than live in the dark."

Xun Yu's lips trembled slightly, he took a few steps forward, knelt on the ground, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, Xun Yu, pay my respects to the Queen."

The woman's body trembled slightly, and then she slowly turned her head. Her face was extremely pale, with no blood at all. It was Fu Shou who everyone in Xudu thought had died long ago.

A look of surprise appeared on her face, "Xun Lingjun?"

"Why did you come to Shouchun?"

"I have some physical inconvenience and cannot stand. I'm sorry that I can't return the favor."

Xun Yu's voice was choked with sobs, "I never expected that the queen is really not dead!"

"When the bad news came, I could do nothing but..."

Fu Shou sighed: "Your Majesty is not powerless, but you are acting as an aid to the tiger." She then shook her head, "Forget it, I went too far. Given the situation at that time, what could your Majesty do?"

Although she tried her best to keep her tone calm, she still couldn't hide the resentment in her words, "I didn't expect that I would survive."

"After all, Xu Chu personally held a mallet weighing dozens of kilograms and hit my concubine countless times."

"I feel like my internal organs are about to be broken, and blood is leaking out from all parts of my body like spring water."

"At that time, I was in pain and wanted to die quickly."

"But for some reason, I was dug out of the coffin, vaguely put on a boat, and sent here."

"Of course, during this process, my body was cut open and sewn back together. In Shouchun, it was opened again and the same thing was done all over again."

"At that time, I felt that my body was about to burn, as if there was a fire burning inside my body. I thought it would be better to die like this. I would wait for Cao Cao at the gate of Huangquan. When the time came, I would wait for him. Grab him and use the fire in my body to burn him to ashes. "

Listening to these words full of resentment, Xun Yu leaned deeply and was speechless.

Da Qiao also covered her mouth with her sleeves, her eyes filled with tears. When she saw Fu Shou's miserable condition, she never dared to imagine that this would be what happened to the empress of the dynasty.

Yuan Xi said from the side: "It is a blessing that the queen survived. It can even be said to be a miracle."

"The two doctors who escorted her were disciples of Mr. Yuanhua. They tried their best to help her sew up her ruptured internal organs and support her until Shouchun."

"After that, Mr. Yuanhua performed the surgery himself, reopened the abdomen, and sewed up the previous missing areas."

"What's more important is that she lost a lot of blood, but because of the blood conflict, the current method of judging blood is not mature, and there is a high chance of making an error. But at that time, there was no other way, so I had to bite the bullet and transfuse blood. Fortunately, the blood type was correct."

"Afterwards, the queen experienced a fever, but she was able to survive it. Even Mr. Yuanhua was surprised. He said that the chance was less than a chance, which was simply incredible."

"Perhaps the queen's unwillingness and resentment are the reasons that support her survival."

Although there were many words in Yuan Xi's words that Xun Yu could not understand, he, who understood the cause and effect of this matter, could only close his eyes in pain and kowtow: "I have sinned too much and failed to protect the emperor. The queen is really to blame for this disaster!"

Fu Shou shook his head and said, "Don't blame yourself too much. At that time, even Your Majesty was powerless. Who can I blame?"

After hearing this, Xun Yu gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty...has not forgotten the Queen."

"This time I am sent to Shouchun to bring back Lord Cao's wife and daughter, but in fact I am entrusted by Your Majesty to find out the Queen's life and death."

"Now that the Queen has survived the disaster, Your Majesty must be greatly relieved. Although Your Majesty is silent, he has always cared about the Queen!"

After hearing this, Fu Shou couldn't help but his eyes turned red, and he said softly: "Of course I know."

"He just doesn't say it, but he always has a concubine in his heart."

"But I'm afraid that I will never be able to see His Majesty again in this life, right?"

Yuan Xi said in a deep voice: "How is it impossible? There must be hope."

Everyone present understood what he meant. By destroying Cao Cao, Liu Xie would naturally be welcomed back.

Fu Shou gave a wry smile and turned to Xun Yu, "Your Majesty has seen it now, but how will he face Cao Cao when he returns to Xudu?"

"If Cao Cao learns about my concubine's life, he will definitely embarrass His Majesty, right?"

Xun Yu looked at Yuan Xi, and Yuan Xi said: "I am indeed in a dilemma."

"If I let you go, I don't know if you will help Cao Cao again."

After hearing this, Xun Yu said calmly: "Yu has his own way."

He took out a slender bamboo tube from his arms and solemnly handed it to Yuan Xi, "This is why Yu came here."

"This is your Majesty's entrustment. If you see the Queen, you will give this thing to the envoy as your Majesty's reward."

Yuan Xi was startled. He didn't expect that there was this section in it, so he took it and lowered his head to remove the paint from the bamboo tube. However, he didn't notice that Xun Yu took the opportunity to turn his head and swallowed the thing in his arms.

Yuan Xi opened the bamboo tube and took out a piece of silk. When he opened it, he found that it was an imperial edict written by Liu Xie himself and printed on it.

He took a quick look and immediately understood Liu Xie's intention. He sighed in his heart, thinking that this was indeed what he urgently needed.

When he raised his head, he saw Xun Yu turning around, bowing to him and Fu Shou, and saying, "This trip has been fulfilled."

"Yu made many mistakes in his life. He wanted to revive the Han Dynasty and helped Duke Cao, but he repeatedly failed to do anything. He put your majesty in danger. He was really unworthy of being a minister. Now that he was entrusted by your majesty, he betrayed Duke Cao. He was a double-dealer, but he was I am so ashamed that I cannot be a human being.”

"Now I can only die to thank the world. After that, I will deal with things as I wish. Please take care of yourself, Queen."

The three of them watched in surprise as blood spurted out from Xun Yu's mouth and nose. Xun Yu's body twitched. He was obviously suffering from great pain, but he still tried his best to keep his body upright.

Yuan Xi knew at a glance that Xun Yu had taken poison, and immediately called the doctor over, but it was too late.

Xun Yu glanced in the direction of Xu Du for the last time, fell down, and stopped breathing.
