On the north side of the palace is a garden with no precious flowers and plants, but it is cleanly maintained.

There is a pool in the garden, a flying beam on the pond, and a small pavilion on the flying beam. It is no different from a common garden, but it has a little more fireworks.

Especially when Cao Miao saw the middle-aged woman standing in the vegetable bed.

The woman was wearing a cloth clothes and her gray hair simply tied a bun, hanging behind her, holding a handful of leeks in her hand, and a bamboo basket at her feet, and there were a few fruits and vegetables that Cao Miao could not say in the bamboo basket.

Hearing the footsteps, the woman looked up and saw Cao Miao slowly stepping in. A strange color flashed in her eyes. Then she lowered her head, curled her body and bent her knees, and bowed her salute.

"I'm Xie, I've seen the prince. It's so pleasant to be happy."

Cao Miao was slightly stunned, and footsteps sounded outside the garden. Cao Zhi walked in and saw Cao Miao also, he was stunned and then quickly stepped forward. "Brother, why are you... getting up so early?" Seeing Cao Miao looking at the woman, Cao Zhi quickly introduced: "This is my mother."

Cao Miao suddenly realized that this was Cao Zhi's biological mother, Xie. He had a little impression of it, but he never thought that she would become so old that she had never seen her for ten years. She was completely different from the young woman ten years ago and could not recognize her for a moment.

In order to meet Cao Zhi, Cao Miao entered the role from the moment he walked out of the room. At this moment, he learned that the woman was Cao Zhi's biological mother, and he did not react much. He just glanced at the woman indifferently, then withdrew his gaze and walked over to Cao Zhi and his son.

Cao Zhi did not think it was offensive, but was a little happy. His mother was the maid of Empress Dowager Bian. She grew up with Cao Zhi and later became Cao Zhi's concubine. Because of her low background, she was deeply trusted by Cao Zhi, so she was not favored by Cao Miao's biological mother, Mrs. Cui, and Cao Miao had no good feelings for Xie.

Cao Miao's performance at this moment was really normal. It seems that his condition has improved again.

Cao Zhi followed, and Cao Miao waved his hand without looking back, his expression was faint, and he was three-point distant.

Cao Zhi quickly stopped, turned around and picked up the bamboo basket at Xie's feet, and went out of the garden with Xie's family. After going out, Cao Zhi asked softly: "Mother, do you think Brother Wang looks like Emperor Wu?"

Xie looked back at Cao Zhi and pondered for a moment. "It's indeed a bit similar."

Cao Zhixi said: "I'll just say that Brother Wang must be blessed by Emperor Wu's spirit in heaven this time."

Xie smiled bitterly twice, touched Cao Zhi's head, and brushed off a leaf from his head. "I hope so. Yungong, go and see your father. He will be happy to know that your brother's condition has improved."

Cao Zhi hesitated and said, "If..."

"Go, your father has his own concerns." Xie took the bamboo basket from Cao Zhi's hand and gently pushed it.

Cao Zhi nodded and hurried towards the small building.

The garden was not big, and several landscapes were very dilapidated. Cao Miao quickly walked around. He returned to the Feiliang Pavilion in the middle of the garden, sat on the railing, and looked at the black fish and grass carp swimming in the water, and was amused and crying. People kept ornamental fish in the palace, and edible fish in the palace of Yongqiu.

However, it is not unacceptable to growing vegetables in the garden.

Maybe in a few days, there will be no chance to grow vegetables and raise fish.

Cao Miao looked up at the courtyard wall on the west side. Outside the high wall, there was a fruit forest with flowers blooming brightly. As for whether he could wait for the fruit, it was hard to say. Although according to Han Dong's instructions, the emperor did not believe the rumors of Wang Tai and others at all, he could not conclude that the emperor would not take advantage of the situation and suppress Cao Zhi.

Cao Zhi thought that Cao Pi would die and Cao Rui ascend the throne, and he would be able to turn around, which was too naive.

The edict has been issued, so I want to be transferred to Junyi. Even if this is a false alarm, Yongqiu will not be Cao Zhi's last fief. After the King of Yongqiu, there are still several titles waiting for him.

Are you happy if you don’t do it if you are good emperors and you are fooled by others?

Cao Miao thought, and naturally snorted, and a hint of sarcasm appeared on the corner of his mouth.

There were footsteps behind me.

Cao Miao remained motionless, as if he hadn't heard it, and was insane as if he was watching the black fish swimming in the water.

The footsteps slowed down, with a little hesitation and a little uneasy. They stopped a few steps away from Cao Miao and never moved forward again. After a while, a very light footstep left and disappeared outside the garden gate. I think it was because they were standing outside the door to prevent anyone from approaching and disturbing the conversation in the garden.

"Yeah, cough..." A muffled cough, it was difficult to tell the truth.

Cao Miao turned a deaf ear, but his eyes gradually became cold. Although his back was facing the person and his eyes seemed useless, he did not take it lightly. As the saying goes, eyes are the window of the soul, and the role of eyes in performance is of great importance, no less than that of the body. A real actor can express a lot of information through his eyes, which can not only influence others, but also influence himself, thereby changing the whole person's momentum.

The person behind him obviously felt this and became more and more cramped. Then he coughed twice and even became embarrassed when he breathed. After a while, he finally spoke, his voice hoarse and low, with a hint of breaking sound.

"Yun...liang, you..."

Cao Miao seized the opportunity and said coldly: "Have you regretted it all these years?"

After finally plucking up the courage to speak, but was interrupted by Cao Miao. The person behind him was speechless for a moment. After a while, he sighed. "Wei Wu waved his whip and there is a legacy in Jieshi. The bleak autumn wind is now again, and it has been changed to the world. These days, every word you say is like a whip, whipping on me. If you still don't regret it, what is the difference between me and beasts? Yunliang, I...I am ashamed of Emperor Wu."

Cao Miao stood up slowly, shook his sleeves, and then slowly turned around, looking at the middle-aged man who was a few steps away with a solid look, his father Cao Zhi, with three points of contempt, three points of pity, three points of disappointment, and a little regret.

Cao Zhiche and Cao Miao felt a trembling heart when he saw it. He was stunned for a moment. His thin cheeks twitched, and his head lowered in shame. His gray hair swayed in the morning breeze, which was heartbreaking.

"That's all?" Cao Miao sneered with gritted teeth, with suppressed anger, like thunder roaring in the clouds, fire rushing underground, and the roaring of wild beasts before they attacked.

Cao Zhi's body trembled slightly. After a while, he raised his head again and faced Cao Miao's gaze. His eyes were red and tears slid down his blue-white face. Although his expression was miserable, he became much more determined. "Yunliang, I have been wronged over the years, but some things... were not as you thought. Even if I tried my best, I might not be able to succeed. Instead, my brothers might turn against each other, father and son are revenge, and their foundation collapsed. You were young at that time and only knew the pain of losing your mother, but I didn't know that there was another reason for your mother being killed, which was not my fault."

Mrs. Cui's death had nothing to do with Cao Zhi? Cao Miao was surprised, but did not speak, but just looked at Cao Zhi coldly, with a slightly relaxed expression.

Seeing that Cao Miao's expression was cold but there was no sign of an attack, Cao Zhi's uneasiness calmed down. He tentatively walked forward two steps.
