"Alright, since that's the case, I'll make it clear!
I think Empress Dowager Dong's side is probably useless!”
"Oh, what do you mean, Attendant Zhang?"
"Although Dong Zhong, the nephew of Empress Dowager Dong, is also a general of the hussars, that is only a title with no real power.
Now, most of Luoyang's soldiers were in the hands of General He, and the current emperor was the son of Empress Dowager He.
Thus, it was only a matter of time before Empress Dowager He's team won.”
"Minister Zhang is right! In this case, what do you think of us going to seek refuge with Empress Dowager He now?”
"That's not right. We begged Empress Dowager He once before, but after that, we sided with Empress Dowager Dong. I'm afraid Empress Dowager He has some complaints about us.”
"This, what should we do?
Back then, back then, the scions of the aristocratic families of Great General He wanted to kill us in public.
Under such circumstances, how would we dare to go to Empress Dowager He and appear in front of those people all day long?”
"It's fine. The past is the past. Now, it's time to make up for this mistake.”
At this point, Zhang Rang's gaze suddenly became unfathomable.
"Oh, Attendant Zhang, it seems that you already have a plan in mind.”
At this moment, when Zhao Zhong saw this, he could not help but chuckle.
"There is a way, but the risk is huge. If we're not careful, our heads will fall to the ground!”
"If I follow Empress Dowager Dong, I'll be punished in the end. Since I'll die if I go left, I'll die if I go right.”
"Alright, since that's the case, everyone, besides the few of us, we must not let anyone else know about what will happen next!
If any of us dares to leak any news, don't blame me for cutting him alive in advance!”
At this point, Zhang Rang's cold gaze swept across the few constant attendants present, causing their hearts to tremble.
"I have an informant on Empress Dowager He's side. That informant told me that Empress Dowager He has the intention to kill Empress Dowager Dong.”
Hearing this, how could the few constant attendants present not know the meaning of the ten constant attendants? Their expressions could not help but change.
"Why, everyone, are you afraid?”
Seeing that everyone was silent, Zhang Rang could not help but sneer.
After a moment of silence, Zhao Zhong spoke first,
"Now that things have come to this, there's no other way.
If we succeed, will Empress Dowager He really accept us?”
"This is only a form of pledge. After this, we will use a large sum of money to befriend He Jin's younger brother, He Miao, and his mother, Lord Wuyang.
If we put in a good word for us in front of Empress Dowager He, I think Empress Dowager He will definitely accept us!”
"Alright, in that case, we'll do as Minister Zhang says!”
...........
It was early summer, and the warm sunlight nourished everything.
The trees under the forest were covered in shade, and the clusters were dotted with specks of light.
Xun Zhen held a fishing rod in one hand and drank wine in the other.
"Young Master, you've been fishing for so long, but not a single fish has taken the bait. Why don't you let Wan 'er help you fish?"
At this moment, Wan 'er, who was massaging Xun Zhen's shoulders from behind, could not help but look at her young master with some heartache.
Xun Zhen's face turned red upon hearing this. However, his skin was too thick. He immediately said,
"Ahem, fishing is all about relaxing your mood. Whether you can catch a fish or not is another matter.”
"Oh, is that so? Then, Young Master, do you want Wan 'er to massage your legs for you? You've been standing for so long.”
"Cough-I say, Wen Yuan, aren't you living too freely? Fine wine, beautiful maidservants, beautiful scenery, tsk tsk "
At this moment, Cao Mengde, who was dressed in embroidered clothes, slowly walked over under the lead of Dian Wei.
"Oh? Meng De, what a rare guest. I haven't seen you for the past few days. It seems that you're busy with work.”
Hearing this, Cao Cao looked at the surface of the river and said,"
"Of course, not everyone is like you, Xun Wenyuan!
A famous person in the world had actually fallen to such a state! You really deserve to be despised by us scholars!"
Hearing this, Xun Zhen immediately snorted in disdain. Then, he glanced at Cao Cao and said,
"Tell me, what's the matter this time?”
"Oh, I say, Wen Yuan, what are you saying? Can't I come and find you for no reason?”
"Yes, but you, Cao Mengde, have never come to me for no reason.”
Hearing this, Cao Cao was speechless.
Then, he approached Xun Zhen and whispered,"
"Empress Dowager Dong died in the harem at dawn today.”
"Oh, I know."
"Wen Yuan, this is your reaction to such a big matter?”
"Some time ago, Empress Dowager Dong and Empress Dowager He had an argument at a banquet in the palace. I had already predicted Empress Dowager Dong's fate today.”
"Hmph, this He siblings are really bold. They actually dare to do such a treasonous thing!”
"Do you know who the murderer is? Or were the officials of the imperial court prepared to leave it at that?”
"The murderer was a young eunuch who had just entered the palace. When the chief justice found him, he had already committed suicide by taking poison.
However, I heard some news from Yuan Benchu. It is said that it was done secretly by Zhang Rang and the others.”
