Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

Liu Xie's long silence made the eunuch's crying more obvious, and he spoke while sobbing.

"It's normal that Your Majesty doesn't remember me. I just hate that thief Lu was rampant and slaughtered people in the palace. In order to protect myself, I had to be nice to the treacherous queen and was promoted to a regular attendant. For the sake of the overall situation, I never really said a word to Your Majesty."

Suddenly, Liu Xie's pupils trembled slightly.

Liu Xie couldn't remember who Zheng Bao was.

But after Lu Bu's purge, the palace now only has one eunuch.

"Are you Empress Lu's man?"

Liu Xie blurted out, and his words unconsciously revealed a hint of fear.

"I am your Majesty's servant and have always been your Majesty's servant."

The eunuch kowtowed and sobbed, and seemed to be even more heartbroken than the imprisoned Liu Xie.

"My people?" Liu Xie still couldn't believe it.

"The whole world belongs to your Majesty, and naturally I will only be your Majesty's people." The eunuch replied.

These words obviously made Liu Xie feel much more at ease. He then adjusted his attitude as an emperor and asked.

"If that's the case, then why did the Queen appoint you as a constant attendant?"

"All of this is to accumulate strength for Your Majesty."

The eunuch replied.

"That thief Lu took advantage of your majesty's youth and repeatedly deceived me, but I know that your majesty is the emperor of the Han Dynasty."

"Although Your Majesty is young, there will be changes when you grow up. That is when I will be your henchmen."

"Therefore, I have no choice but to serve the thieves temporarily, win over the hearts of the people for Your Majesty, gather strength, and wait for the right time to help Your Majesty regain control of the government."

"I should have stayed dormant and patient for a while, but seeing that the thief Lu was so bold as to imprison Your Majesty in this palace, I could no longer bear the worry in my heart, and risked my life to come and rescue Your Majesty."

The eunuch's words were so sincere and heartfelt that Liu Xie was moved beyond measure.

In the past, Liu Xie didn't know why his father favored Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong so much, and even compared them to his parents.

Now, Liu Xie, who had been in fear for many days, looked at the eunuch in front of him and couldn't help but develop a deep sense of dependence.

"I already know your heart, my beloved."

Liu Xie excitedly grabbed the eunuch's hand and whispered.

"My dear, can you find a way to save me from the cage? I will be able to take charge of the government again one day, and I am willing to share wealth and honor with you."

"Your Majesty, please do not treat me like this. I am the emperor's servant and I should die for you, Your Majesty."

The eunuch spoke hurriedly, which made Liu Xie feel moved and happy.

It turns out that there are still loyal and righteous people in the Han Dynasty, and I am still the one that the people support.

After expressing his loyalty, the eunuch continued in a low voice.

"Your Majesty, you don't know that the thief Lu has imprisoned Your Majesty in Zhangde Palace."

"I bribed people outside the palace to inquire about it, and learned that the thief Lu has repeatedly summoned ministers, generals, and noble families to his palace for secret discussions. Even people in the market are saying that the thief Lu wants to follow the thief Dong's example and depose and enthrone again."

As soon as these words were spoken, Liu Xie, who had been trying hard to remain calm, changed his expression drastically.

While Liu Xie was imprisoned in Zhangde Hall, he often thought about how his brother Liu Bian died in his dreams.

Isn’t yesterday’s Liu Bian the Liu Xie of today?

Immediately, Liu Xie shook the eunuch's hand in panic and asked urgently, "Do you have any good ideas?"

"Your Majesty, the only way now is to escape from Luoyang. This will give you a chance of survival. Otherwise, Your Majesty may be killed by the thief Lu." The eunuch said while gritting his teeth.

"Escape!?" Liu Xie was stunned.

"Your Majesty, do you know the story that Chong'er was born outside and Shensheng died inside?" the eunuch persuaded.

"Yes, my dear, you are absolutely right. You are absolutely right!"

Liu Xie, who was extremely frightened, nodded repeatedly, and then asked in confusion.

"But where can I escape to?"

The eunuch thought for a moment and replied.

"Besides Sili, the princes in various places have their own troops and are attacking each other. I'm afraid they no longer have the Han Dynasty in their hearts. Only Liu Xuande of Yangzhou is a benevolent person. He is also a relative and uncle of the emperor. He has barely established himself in one place. We can rely on him to settle down."

After hearing this answer, Liu Xie's only trace of doubt completely disappeared.

If the eunuch had said that he was fleeing to other princes, Liu Xie would still have doubted his intentions, but the other party's answer was Liu Huangshu, which made Liu Xie feel at ease.

Immediately, Liu Xie sighed and said.

"But that thief Lu has his own army and I have no military power. I am even trapped in this small place and cannot leave. How can I leave Sili?"

"Your Majesty, I have a plan," the eunuch replied.

"What's the good idea?" Liu Xie asked anxiously.

"Your Majesty, just take the Queen with you. The thief Lu only has this one daughter and no more children. He will not dare to act rashly. In this way, he may be able to escape from Sili."

Liu Xie was very excited by these words, but when he thought about how Lu Lingqi had practiced martial arts in the palace before, she was a strong man who was no match for even ten or twenty ordinary soldiers. He said with a bitter face.

"But Lu Lingqi is so fierce, how can I make her submit?"

The eunuch replied in a deep voice.

"I have obtained a drug powder that can make people unconscious from the imperial physician. I will secretly add it to the queen's meals. In the past few years, I have secretly recruited nearly 20 reliable confidants."

"When the time comes, I will first control the Queen, and then come with my confidant to rescue Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty, just raise your arm and temporarily stabilize the situation in the palace. Then we can take the opportunity to rush out of Luoyang and force the thief Lu to let us leave Sili."

After hearing this, Liu Xie couldn't help but stand up and walk back and forth. He was so nervous that he was obviously out of control for a long time before he made up his mind and said.

"Okay, I will follow your words, dear Lord. Please don't disappoint me."

"For the sake of the great man, even if I die, I will not retreat even a little bit!"

The eunuch said this with tears in his eyes, and then secretly left Zhangde Hall under Liu Xie's expectant gaze.

Then, Liu Xie felt that the wait was extremely long.

Even though Liu Xie understood that the attendant named "Zheng Bao" needed to contact people and make preparations, as well as find an opportunity to take action, Liu Xie was afraid that he would sleep too deeply in the Zhangde Hall and miss the other party's response.

Therefore, during the waiting period, Liu Xie was extremely anxious.

He kept thinking about the consequences of failure, and worried that Zheng Bao would be abandoned before he could take action. He also kept looking forward to the scene of the emperor's uncle leading all the officials to welcome him after he escaped from Sili...

In a daze, several days passed. Liu Xie didn't know whether he was asleep or awake all day. He only knew that he was always paying attention to the movements outside the palace.

Finally, a chaotic sound different from the past came from outside the hall, and it was getting closer and closer to Zhangde Hall.

This made Liu Xie so nervous that he could only hold an inkstone and hide it in his sleeve, staring at the gate of Zhangde Hall.

The next moment, the door of Zhangde Hall was pushed open, and Zheng Bao, who had met Liu Xie under the moon, appeared in front of him, and behind him were nearly twenty eunuchs with strong physiques.

More importantly, tied behind Zheng Bao was the queen, Lu Lingqi, whom Liu Xie hated day and night!
"See Your Majesty!"

Even though there were only about twenty eunuchs paying homage in unison, Liu Xie was particularly enjoying this moment. He shook his dragon robe and said.

"All the nobles, please stand up..." (End of this chapter)
