Long Chen was utterly bewildered, his mind a jumble.
Great, both won have lost it!
"Empress Dowager, please, have so restraint! I’m not that kind of person!"
He spoke earnestly, his face serious.
"Then why did you... touch there that night? And you even knocked out and forced into those kinds of things!" Her tone was like ice-cold water from a deep abyss, piercingly chilling...
After saying this, Empress Dowager blushed deeply.
Internally, she felt both embarrassed and resentful towards Long Chen.
It’s all because of this servant, he made ... with that person!!!
Long Chen cald himself, restraining the urge to deliver a light punch.
Calmly, he said, "Empress, can’t you understand even now?"
"The reason I knocked you out that night was to prevent you from delaying the mont to rescue you and the Emperor!"
"And look, you are sitting here fine now, aren’t you? I haven’t done anything inappropriate to you!"
"On the contrary, if I hadn’t taken that action, you, , and my subordinates would have perished in Luoyang city!!"
Long Chen’s words were sincere, emotionally charged!
It sent a shiver through Empress Dowager’s heart, making her think:
"Could it be true as he says?"
Suddenly surprised, she asked, "You an, Biao’er, Biao’er also escaped from Luoyang city!?"
"Yes! His Majesty is in the carriage behind. Don’t worry, he’s safe!" Long Chen reassured her.
Empress Dowager was still sowhat anxious, touching her ample chest, she asked, "I want to see him!"
"Don’t you trust my words? Would I deceive you over this?" Long Chen questioned.
"Not that I don’t trust you, but I trust my own eyes more!"
There was a glint of coldness in Empress Dowager’s eyes.
"Empress Dowager!" Long Chen bellowed.
She shuddered, realizing that this was Long Chen’s territory, and he could do whatever he wished. How could she stop him?
She involuntarily lowered her proud head.
Sigh... What should I do from now on...
Long Chen said solemnly, "Empress, this is the last ti I’ll address you like this!"
"After this, there will be no more Empress Dowager or Han Emperor in this world!"
Suddenly, Empress Dowager felt everything turning gray. Could Long Chen be planning to kill both her and Biao’er?
"What’s the difference between this and Dong Zhuo? Escaping from the tiger’s den only to enter the wolf’s den, why is my life so bitter!"
"In the future, only the He family and Liu De..."
"Because once news of your presence in Yangzhou leaks out, Dong Zhuo and even other warlords may attack Jiujiang. The situation would be even more precarious then!"
"Therefore, I need you to temporarily adopt different identities. When I have enough strength to ensure your safety, you can resu your original status."
This...
Empress Dowager He couldn’t help feeling warm in her heart. She didn’t expect Long Chen to consider them at every turn. She blad him wrongly.
I really shouldn’t have behaved so unreasonably!
Then Empress Dowager He’s eyes showed gratitude as she looked at Long Chen’s face.
She couldn’t help but feel that this young man was even more handso and extraordinary!
However, she was not good at expressing her apologies and didn’t say anything, but her gaze beca more friendly.
Seeing that Empress Dowager He finally stopped her earlier erratic behavior, Long Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Oh, won! They are difficult to handle...
Especially beautiful and influential won are even more challenging to deal with!
"Sister Chan, keep an eye on her. I’m going out for a while!"
"Okay, good~"
Diaochan nodded obediently, her charming appearance tempting Long Chen.
But thinking about the current situation in the carriage, the environnt is not suitable for such activities! Can’t be causing a disturbance...
Moreover, there is the equally beautiful Empress Dowager He beside him. No matter how bold Long Chen is, he wouldn’t dare to do such things...
So, he had to wait for a suitable opportunity to have a showdown after returning to Jiujiang County!
...
In Luoyang City,
Since Lu Bu assassinated Ding Yuan and joined forces with Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo’s power has beco even more overwhelming.
The Allied Forces were in awe of his military might and had no choice but to disband.
From then on, Dong Zhuo beca even more arrogant and tyrannical in Luoyang City.
Especially after learning about the tragic deaths of Han Emperor Liu Bian and his birth mother Empress Dowager He, Dong Zhuo beca even more lawless.
On this day, in the court, Dong Zhuo requested:
"A country cannot be without a ruler for a single day! I propose that Chenliu Prince Liu Xie succeed to the throne!"
The civil and military officials in the court had nothing to say. Han Emperor Liu Bian had already died, and he left no heirs. So, it was necessary for his younger brother, Chenliu Prince Liu Xie, to succeed to the throne, becoming the new emperor!
On that day, Liu Xie was enthroned by Pri Minister Dong Zhuo and beca known as Emperor Han.
Dong Zhuo, due to his power, was rewarded with the position of Grand Tutor.
In the Dong’s residence,
"Hahaha! Hahaha!"
Li Ru walked in, bowing his head all the way. Even before seeing Dong Zhuo, he could hear Dong Zhuo’s laughter.
"Ru pays respects to the Grand Tutor!"
Li Ru bowed and paid his respects.
"Wenyou! You finally ca! Hahaha, I didn’t expect even the heavens to be helping , Dong Zhuo!"
"Xie is now our righteous son!! With the invincible Xie under our banner, what do I fear!"
"Moreover, with the Han Emperor and Empress Dowager He both perishing in the fire, our family has rightfully enthroned Liu Xie as the new emperor!"
"Two birds with one stone! Wenyou, isn’t this heaven’s assistance to !"
"Hahahaha!!!"
Li Ru frowned deeply, thinking to himself, "Oh no, the Grand Tutor is in trouble now!"
Imdiately, with concern, he said, "Grand Tutor! Ru feels that the deaths of the Han Emperor and Empress Dowager He in the fire might have been orchestrated by soone behind the scenes!"
Dong Zhuo, upon hearing this, laughed loudly, "Hahaha! Wenyou, you worry too much. How could that be possible! Who would dare show such disrespect to the Emperor and the Empress Dowager!"
Li Ru thought to himself, "Grand Tutor, aren’t you exactly that kind of person!"
After pondering for a mont, Li Ru spoke again, "Grand Tutor, there are many doubts about this incident!"
"Although it has been confird that the two bodies contained the aura of the dragon and the phoenix, it’s very flimsy!"
The dragon aura is the sign of the Emperor’s presence, while the phoenix aura is that of the Queen, symbolizing control over the country’s fate.
When Long Chen took them away, he cautiously left a few drops of blood from them, attempting to deceive. But Li Ru detected the anomaly.
"Moreover, according to Colonel Xu Rong, on that night, General Long Chen broke through the eastern gate despite resistance and fled!"
"What!!?"
Dong Zhuo violently slamd the table in front of him, the force of a bear causing the table to shatter into pieces.
Initially, when Xu Rong ntioned Long Chen’s escape, Dong Zhuo didn’t pay much attention. He thought it was due to the rebellion of the Wolf Cavalry of Bingzhou, plus his goal (befriending Long Chen) had been achieved. He was deeply imrsed in joy and didn’t bother much about these matters.
Now, hearing Li Ru’s analysis, his eyes turned fierce, his face showing a terrifying expression.
