Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

Liu Xie's long silence made the eunuch's weeping even more pronounced, as he sobbed and said.

It's normal that Your Majesty doesn't remember this humble servant. I only hate that the traitor Lü is rampant, wielding the butcher's knife in the palace. To protect myself, I had to feign compliance with the treacherous empress, rising through the ranks to become a Palace Attendant. Thinking of the bigger picture, I never truly spoke a word with Your Majesty.

Suddenly, Liu Xie's pupils trembled slightly.

Who Zheng Bao was, Liu Xie couldn't recall.

But after Lü Bu's purge of the palace, there was only one Palace Attendant left.

"You are Lü Hou's person?"

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

"This humble servant is Your Majesty's person, always has been Your Majesty's person."

The eunuch repeatedly kowtowed, sobbing incessantly, appearing even more grief-stricken than the imprisoned Liu Xie.

"朕's person?" Liu Xie still found it hard to believe.

"The world belongs to Your Majesty, so naturally, this humble servant can only be Your Majesty's person," the eunuch replied.

These words clearly reassured Liu Xie a lot, and he slightly straightened his posture as the Son of Heaven, asking.

"If that's the case, then how could you be appointed as a Palace Attendant by the Empress?"

"All for accumulating power for Your Majesty."

The eunuch replied.

"That traitor Lü deceives Your Majesty for being young, repeatedly deceiving you, but this humble servant knows that Your Majesty is the true Son of Heaven of the Great Han."

"And although Your Majesty is young, you will surely change when you grow up. That will be the time for this humble servant to be Your Majesty's eyes and ears."

"Therefore, this humble servant had to temporarily submit to the traitor, to win over people's hearts for Your Majesty, plan for strength, and quietly wait for the opportune moment to help Your Majesty regain control of the court."

"This humble servant should have temporarily lain low and endured, but seeing that the traitor Lü was so bold as to imprison Your Majesty in this palace, this humble servant could no longer bear the worry in my heart and risked my life to come and rescue you."

The eunuch's words were undeniably sincere and earnest, and even moved Liu Xie to the point of being unable to control himself.

In the past, Liu Xie didn't understand why his father would be so trusting of Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong, even comparing them to his parents.

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

"朕 knows your loyalty," Liu Xie said in a low voice, excitedly grabbing the eunuch's hand.

"Do you have a way to save 朕 from this prison? If 朕 can regain control of the court one day, 朕 is willing to share wealth and honor with you."

"Your Majesty must not say such things to this humble servant. This humble servant is a slave of the Son of Heaven and should naturally die for Your Majesty," the eunuch said hurriedly, making Liu Xie feel both moved and happy.

So the Great Han still has loyal and righteous people, and 朕 is still supported by the people.

After the eunuch expressed his loyalty, he then said in a low voice.

"Your Majesty may not know this, but after the traitor Lü imprisoned Your Majesty in the Zhangde Hall."

"This humble servant bribed people outside the palace to inquire and learned that the traitor Lü has repeatedly summoned ministers, generals, and prominent families to his mansion for secret discussions. Even the common people are spreading rumors that the traitor Lü wants to imitate Dong Zhuo and carry out another act of deposition."

As soon as these words came out, Liu Xie, who was barely maintaining his composure, changed his expression drastically.

How his elder brother Liu Bian died was something Liu Xie repeatedly recalled in his dreams while imprisoned in Zhangde Hall.

Wasn't Liu Bian of yesterday the Liu Xie of today?

Immediately, Liu Xie anxiously grabbed the eunuch's hand and urgently asked, "Do you have a good plan?"

"Your Majesty, for the current plan, the only way is to escape Luoyang to have a chance of survival, otherwise Your Majesty may be harmed by the traitor Lü," the eunuch said through gritted teeth.

"Escape!??" Liu Xie was stunned.

"Does Your Majesty know the story of Chong'er living outside and Shen Sheng dying inside?" the eunuch advised.

"Yes, what you said is very true, very true!"

The extremely frightened Liu Xie nodded repeatedly, then asked confusedly.

"But where can 朕 escape to?"

The eunuch thought for a while and replied.

"Outside Sili, the various warlords in each region value their troops and attack each other, I'm afraid they no longer have the Han Dynasty in their hearts. Only Liu Xuande of Yangzhou establishes himself with benevolence and virtue, and is also a clan member and Imperial Uncle, who can be relied upon for shelter."

Hearing this answer, Liu Xie's only trace of doubt completely dissipated.

If this eunuch had said to escape to other warlords, Liu Xie would still suspect the other party's intentions, but the other party's answer was Imperial Uncle Liu, which made Liu Xie feel greatly relieved.

Immediately, Liu Xie sighed and said.

"But that traitor Lü values his troops and holds power, 朕 has no military power in my hands, and is even trapped in this confined space and cannot leave. How can 朕 leave Sili?"

"Your Majesty, this humble servant has a plan," the eunuch replied.

"What brilliant plan?" Liu Xie asked urgently.

"Your Majesty only needs to bring the Empress along. That traitor Lü only has this one daughter and no other children, so he will definitely not dare to act rashly. In this way, we may be able to escape Sili."

These words made Liu Xie very tempted, but when he thought of Lü Lingqi practicing martial arts in the palace before, she was a strong person that ordinary soldiers couldn't match, and said with a bitter face.

"But that Lü Lingqi is very fierce, how can 朕 make her submit?"

The eunuch replied in a deep voice.

"This humble servant has obtained a medicinal powder from the imperial physician that can make people faint and unconscious. At that time, secretly add it to the Empress's meals, and over the past few years, I have secretly won over nearly twenty reliable confidants."

"At that time, this humble servant will first control the Empress, and then come with my confidants to rescue Your Majesty."

"When Your Majesty raises your arms and shouts, you only need to temporarily stabilize the situation in the palace, and then we can take the opportunity to rush out of Luoyang and force the traitor Lü to let us leave Sili."

After listening, Liu Xie couldn't help but get up and walk back and forth. The whole person was so nervous that he was obviously out of control for a long time before he finally made up his mind and said.

"Okay, 朕 will follow your plan, and I hope you will not let down 朕's expectations."

"For the sake of the Great Han, this humble servant will not hesitate to be smashed to pieces!"

The eunuch said with tears in his eyes, before secretly leaving Zhangde Hall under Liu Xie's expectant gaze.

After that, Liu Xie felt an unusually long wait.

Even though Liu Xie understood that the Palace Attendant named "Zheng Bao" needed to contact people to make preparations, and also needed to find an opportunity to act, Liu Xie was afraid that he would sleep too soundly in Zhangde Hall and miss the other party's response.

Therefore, during the waiting period, Liu Xie could be described as anxious.

He would often think about the various consequences of failure, and would also worry that Zheng Bao would not be able to act in time before he was deposed, and would also look forward to the scene of the Imperial Uncle leading hundreds of officials to welcome him after escaping Sili...

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

Finally, a commotion different from the usual 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 in his sleeve and stare intently at the gate of Zhangde Hall.

The next moment, the gate of Zhangde Hall was pushed open, and Zheng Bao, whom he had met under the moon, appeared in front of Liu Xie, and behind him were nearly twenty strong-looking eunuchs.

More importantly, behind Zheng Bao was the Empress Lü Lingqi, whom Liu Xie hated day and night!

"Greetings, Your Majesty!"

Even though it was only nearly twenty eunuchs bowing in unison, Liu Xie especially enjoyed this moment, shook his dragon robe, and said.

"All of you may rise..." (End of this chapter)
