The Three Kingdoms: General Yu She, reincarnated a hundred times.

……

"I, though a woman, dare not forget the responsibility to revive the Han dynasty!"

"In my youthful days, I feasted and frolicked in the golden palace of Weiyang; now, even in my death, I await the dawn of a new world!"

Before Yu She could even react, Liu Ning had already desperately plunged the hairpin into his neck.

"Your Highness...Why has Your Highness gone to such lengths?"

How could Yu She not be shocked? Only now did he beat his chest and stamp his feet in regret.

"I should have thought of that!"

Princess Wannian came here to drown herself in the well; she was already determined to die. Once her secret is exposed, death is the only outcome!

……

"May the Han Dynasty last ten thousand years... Ha... My father bestowed upon me the title of ten thousand years, but where will this Han empire ever last ten thousand years...?"

As he fell to the ground, Liu Ning saw Yu She rushing forward to help him up. She gripped his wrist so tightly it almost drew blood, her phoenix eyes, which were about to glaze over, staring intently at him.

"General, if you have even a shred of loyalty and righteousness, you should rid the country of traitors... rid the country of traitors... Your imperial brother will not mistreat you... mistreat you..."

Before he could finish speaking, bright red blood stained his silk skirt, and the girl in his arms was already lifeless, only her eyes still staring straight at Yu She, her eyes wide open in death.

"Even someone as noble as Hongnong died suddenly from poisoned wine, and the Empress Dowager was hanged on a white silk ribbon. The dignified descendant of the Han Dynasty died by throwing himself into a well, and the glorious position of the Son of Heaven was reduced to that of a concubine!"

The eighteen warlords, united to attack Dong Zhuo, were unable to advance an inch.

The responsibility of restoring the Han dynasty was even borne by a woman, and she would never forget it even in death!

What a pity! What a lament!

Yu She felt neither regret nor sorrow. For him, it was already a success that he had been able to figure out the origin of the Imperial Seal.

As for Princess Wannian?

"Your Highness, you just wait!!!"

"When I return to serve the Han dynasty, I will come back to rescue you."

……

Therefore, he only took the imperial seal, rearranged the crime scene, and then summoned people and gave them instructions.

"Princess Wannian, attached to Luoyang, did not want to move the capital. She chose to die rather than move, and was buried with great ceremony."

In the entire city of Luoyang, apart from Lü Bu, Yu She is the most powerful. Even if others have doubts, they dare not express them and simply obey orders.

After properly arranging everything here, Yu She then came to see Lü Bu.

"Zichuan, your timing is perfect. I was just about to look for you."

When Lü Bu saw him arrive, he hurriedly greeted him with a smile, "I heard that Princess Wannian committed suicide, but I was unaware of this...?"

Clearly, upon hearing this, Lü Bu also harbored doubts. Yu She, of course, knew him well. So, with a smile, he lured him into a private conversation, saying:

"Shezheng has done a great service, which should be shared with Fengxian."

Lu Bu's eyes lit up instantly!

"Excellent! My brilliant strategy is about to come in handy again!"

Before he could ask any further questions, Yu She took out a jade box and handed it to him.

Lu Bu opened it and glanced at it briefly. How could he not be horrified?

"Zichuan, you!"

How dare you steal this?! This is a disaster!!!

What did Fengxian say?

It is clear that thieves secretly colluded with the allied forces to steal this item, intending to present it to the feudal lords.

Fortunately, you and I discovered it in time, thus saving it. We should now present it back to the Prime Minister to complete this great task!

Lü Bu: "???"

"You can do that?"

If there are no thieves, we'll be the thieves ourselves; if there's no merit, we'll create it ourselves.

"As expected of my extraordinary wisdom, your strategies truly exceeded my expectations."

But he quickly remembered what had just happened and whispered in surprise, "Could this thing be related to that...?"

Before he could speak, Yu She quickly raised his hand to stop him.

"Fengxian, be careful what you say!"

This matter concerns the Emperor's elder sister; she must not bear this disgrace, and the Prime Minister is even less capable of doing so.

"We should simply consider this as the slaying of that petty thief in the palace, and report this to the Prime Minister."

Lu Bu suddenly realized that the lords outside the pass had already accused the Prime Minister of holding the Emperor hostage, citing the greater good of the nation. If they found out today, even the Emperor's sister would steal the Imperial Seal to help them. Wouldn't that confirm the Prime Minister's stigma and further embolden the allied forces?

As for Yu She, keeping the imperial seal in his possession would only bring trouble upon himself.

Anyway, even if he handed it over to Dong Zhuo, he would still have to return it to the emperor, since Dong Zhuo was different from his old lord Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu, holding the imperial seal, could use the excuse that Dong Zhuo had kidnapped the emperor and usurped power, to temporarily withhold its return.

But for Dong Zhuo, the emperor was right in front of him. If he stole the imperial seal and refused to return it, wouldn't that be blatantly telling the world that he was going to become emperor?

Therefore, it would be better to hand him over to Dong Zhuo. Firstly, it would allow Lü Bu to gain another wave of merit, and secondly, it would allow them to improve their relationship with Lü Bu.

Thirdly, by subtly revealing the origin of the imperial seal, Dong Zhuo dared not bring the matter up in the open, thus protecting Princess Wannian's future and minimizing any suspicions about himself in the matter.

From Dong Zhuo's perspective, he was merely a "thoughtful" subordinate who accidentally stumbled upon Princess Wannian's scheme to secretly keep the imperial seal. In order to protect Dong Zhuo's image as a "loyal Han minister" and maintain the superficially close and harmonious relationship between him and the Han Dynasty, he used words to cover up his true intentions in returning the imperial seal.

……

Since there was merit to be gained, Lü Bu and he hit it off immediately, and the two made a deal.

Lu Bu was grateful that Yu She had done such a great service and still thought of him, so he quickly led Yu She and the imperial seal, along with a troop of fast horses, to catch up with Dong Zhuo.

……

Upon arriving before Dong Zhuo's carriage, they suddenly heard Lü Bu and Yu She arrive to see them. They hurriedly invited the two in and then asked them:

"Why have Zichuan and Fengxian come after us instead of handling matters at the rear?"

Yu She first reported that Princess Wannian had committed suicide.

She was just a princess born out of wedlock, with a rather strong temper. So what if she died? The Prince of Hongnong and Empress Dowager He had both killed her, and Dong Zhuo clearly didn't care much about it anymore.

Yu She then presented the imperial seal and replied with a smile, "There is another matter. Because the Prime Minister lost this treasure in Luoyang, I dared not entrust it to anyone else, so I specially brought Fengxian to escort this treasure back to the Prime Minister."

When Dong Zhuo saw Yu She take out the Imperial Seal of the State from the box, how could he not be horrified?

"How did this come into your possession?"

"There were thieves who secretly colluded with the feudal lords and stole the national treasure. Fortunately, Fengxian and I were able to kill them in time and recover the treasure."

The celestial order has turned, and this treasure is destined to return to the hands of the Prime Minister. Now that it has been returned intact to Zhao, I, Fengxian, and I shall take our leave.

If the Prime Minister still has any questions, he can privately summon Wen You and ask him; then he will understand my meaning.

"According to Yu She, he had just explained that Princess Wannian had committed suicide, and then immediately returned the Imperial Seal of the State. The connection between the two is self-evident."

If Li Ru were summoned, with just a little thought, he could easily make them think of what he wanted them to think of, just like Lü Bu did.

"It's impossible for Wen You to be getting worse and worse. Even Lü Bu could figure things out with his hints, but he can't?"

……

Seeing that Yu She's words were veiled, Dong Zhuo knew that there must be something he couldn't say openly. He immediately dismissed the two men and then privately summoned Li Ru, intending to ask him about the matter of Yu She returning the imperial seal earlier. He wondered what the hidden meaning was in Yu She's cryptic words.

Li Ru had just entered the tent when he was shocked to see what Dong Zhuo was holding. His face turned pale, and he was nearly terrified to death!

"Ru deliberately kept it a secret from the Prime Minister and went to great lengths to keep this item in Luoyang."

How could the Imperial Seal of the State possibly grow legs and run back by itself?
