He stepped into the palace.
Groups of concubines and palace maids knelt in the hall. They were dressed in plain clothes, and their cries were mixed together.
Qin Wen took a light breath, and the fragrance assailed his nostrils.
However, he did not have any evil thoughts and brought Xiao Yue forward.
A burly man walked over.
The burly man was only wearing armor. Because the fat armor on his stomach was propped up, he looked out of place.
He didn't look like a general, but more like a butcher in armor.
This person was Great General He Jin.
He Jin walked over with a dark face. He first glanced at Xiao Yue and frowned.
"Former General, why did you bring a woman?"”
"This person is my guard, and he is responsible for my safety.”
"Greetings, Great General."
Xiao Yue cooperated and bowed to He.
He Jin's expression became much better. Although he was curious how Xiao Yue could be a guard with her height, he did not ask further.
"I see. Follow me.”
As he spoke, He Jin walked into the depths of the hall.
Qin Wen and Xiao Yue followed.
The three of them came to a big bed. Liu Hong's body was lying on the big bed.
A young woman, who was completely naked, was crying softly by the bed, revealing her exquisite body.
Sensing that someone was approaching her, she turned around.
The daughter wants to be beautiful, the whole body is filial piety.
The young woman's tear-stained face, coupled with her alluring figure, was extremely lethal.
Qin
Wen gasped.
It was not that he was amazed by the young woman's figure, but that Xiao Yue's hand was pinching the soft flesh on his waist.
The young woman slowly stopped crying and looked at He Jin
.”
He Jin immediately introduced,"Younger Sister, this is the former General Qin Wen. He was the most valued official of His Majesty when he was alive. The person beside him is his guard."”
Hearing this, Qin Wen was stunned.
He Jin's younger sister, also known as Empress Dowager He in history, was the birth mother of the Young Emperor of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bian.
But at this moment, she was still the Empress.
Qin Wen was about to bow.
At this moment, Empress He suddenly sighed.
"So it's General Qin. His Majesty is very happy when he returned today. He holds General Qin in high esteem, saying that he can restore the prosperity of Emperor Wu of Han and Emperor Guangwu.”
"I didn't expect that His Majesty would suddenly pass away. He only said that he would make Bian 'er his successor, but how could we orphans and widows fight against those eunuchs?”
A sorrowful voice echoed in the hall.
The concubines and palace maids in the hall also shed tears.
He Jin quickly went forward to comfort her.
"Sister, don't worry. With General Qin and I around, we will definitely be able to eliminate the eunuchs and assist Bian 'er in ascending the throne."”
As he spoke, he looked at Qin Wen.
Qin Wen's mouth twitched.
The two of them echoed each other and almost directly invited him to help Liu Bian ascend the throne.
Unfortunately, her acting skills were too bad and it was extremely awkward.
"If you act, then I will act too.”
"
Empress, did His Majesty leave behind any proof?" Qin Wen asked seriously. If you have proof, I will do my best.”
"This..."
He Jin and Empress He looked at each other. The eyes of the siblings were filled with surprise.
He Jin reacted quickly and forced a smile."His Majesty passed away too suddenly and did not have time to draft an edict. He only left a verbal order for the Empress.”
As he spoke, he gave Empress He a subtle look.
If it was an unintentional person, they might not have seen such a small action, but Qin Wen had paid attention to it the entire time.
Empress He reacted and wiped her tears with a handkerchief, revealing an unhappy expression.
"His Majesty left so suddenly and still wants Bian 'er to inherit the throne. Could it be that General Qin suspects this prince?”
"I wouldn't dare."
Qin Wen shook his head lightly and remained silent.
He seemed to be thinking about how to choose.
"General Qin, you…"
He Jin was a little anxious. Just as he was about to speak, a burst of crying suddenly sounded outside the hall.
Her cries were sharp and did not sound like a man or a woman.
Hearing this familiar voice, He Jin's face instantly turned ashen, and his face trembled.
"Your Majesty, I'm late.”
Accompanied by a lifetime of sorrowful cries, Rang ran into the main hall, crying all the way to Liu Hong's corpse.
She cried and blamed herself.
"It's all this old servant's fault. I've only left for a short while and Your Majesty was harmed by a traitor. Fortunately, this old servant has Prince Xie in her arms and will definitely assist him in ascending the throne with the former general.”
Good fellow!
Qin Wen raised his eyebrows.
Just as Xu Shu had expected, Zhang Rang really wanted to step in and also brought him along.
Hearing this, He Jin shouted,"Zhang Rang, what nonsense are you talking about? His Majesty has ordered me and the former general to assist Prince Bian in ascending the throne!”
Zhang Rang instantly stopped crying. He stood up and rebuked angrily,
"His Majesty had a premonition that he would be harmed by a traitor. He secretly ordered me to protect Prince Xie and wait for the former general to arrive before allowing Prince Xie to ascend the throne. You're just a relative. What right do you have to interfere with the candidate for the throne?"”
"Bah! You eunuch, how dare you pass down a fake imperial edict!"
"Ha ~ Slaughtering pigs and selling dogs, you're also qualified to say that the Emperor has passed down an order. I think you want to be Huo Guang.”
He
Jin and Zhang Rang were arguing.
The sorrowful atmosphere in the hall was gone, leaving only a thick smell of gunpowder.
The lighter was in Qin Wen's hands.
Although Empress Dowager He had some tricks up her sleeve in the harem, she was still a woman.
Her pretty face was pale with fright.
He subconsciously wanted to find a place to lean on, but he suddenly found a safe place and leaned over.
"Hmm?" (Third sound)
"Yes." (First sound)
"Yes!" (Fourth sound)
Three strange sounds rang out in succession.
Qin Wen looked at Empress He, who was leaning over, his eyes and nose looking down, his heart unperturbed.
As for Xiao Yue, she pouted in anger.
"Cough cough…Everyone, please listen to me.”
Qin Wen coughed lightly.
The noise in the hall instantly stopped.
"Your Majesty has just passed away, how can you be so rude? If there was something, he might as well wait until tomorrow and gather the ministers to discuss it.”
Qin Wen's voice echoed throughout the hall.
Zhang Rang and He Jin looked at each other, then snorted and looked away.
The hall fell silent again.
For a moment, only heavy breathing could be heard.
Qin Wen was suddenly stunned by the name.
I felt a soft touch on my back.
He didn't need to think to know who it was.
Qin Wen instantly became alert. He took a step forward and distanced himself from Empress He.
Empress He lowered her head and looked at Qin Wen with resentment.
Fortunately, Qin Wen's body was there to cover the scene, so no one else noticed it.
Qin Wen didn't know how to describe his feelings at this moment.
For the sake of the throne, Empress He was really going all out, even using seduction.
If Cao Cao was here, he would probably be very excited.
Putting his thoughts aside, Qin Wen cupped his fists at He Jin and Zhang Rang and said,
"It's late at night. It's not convenient for me to stay in the palace. I'll take my leave."”
"Wait!"
Zhang Rang and He Jin said in unison.
