Chapter 73 The Queen Mother and General Cao actually... [Please read and ask for monthly votes]

In the warm pavilion.

Empress Dowager He and the other three people were waiting impatiently, not knowing what fate awaited them and others next.

Liu Bian sat on the soft couch, with a look of sadness on his face, wiping his tears to himself, and murmuring something from time to time, but he couldn't hear it clearly.

As for Tang Ji, although she was sitting next to Liu Bian, she did not comfort her husband. Instead, she was alone and didn't know what she was thinking.

Only Queen Mother He couldn't calm down and walked around the Nuan Pavilion with an anxious look on her face.

At this moment she was in a state of confusion.

Now the fate of her family of three has been pinned on Cao Ang. Only if Cao Ang successfully captures Li Ru can she and her son be saved. The two people are discussing outside now, and they don't know what the situation is.

But while she was confused about the uncertain future, Queen Mother He was also full of worries about Cao Ang.

The poison was placed in front of her before, and she was so frightened that she naturally hoped that Cao Ang would appear immediately in front of her and save her like a hero riding a colorful auspicious cloud.

But now in the quiet room, after calming down, Queen Mother He began to be afraid again.

If the conversation between the young man and Li Ru breaks down and the two fail to reach a consensus, wouldn't they also be implicated and trapped in the quagmire?

Unlike his own mother and son, who were targeted by Dong Zhuo and whose heads were covered with coffin boards, Cao Angke still had a great future and an endless number of years of flowering world to enjoy.

If she was dragged into the water after failing just because she came to save herself, then she would indeed feel guilty.

Just under this extremely complicated emotion.

Queen Mother He finally heard footsteps coming from outside, and then Cao Ang stepped into the Nuan Pavilion.

"Whoa!"

The movements are uniform.

Everyone's eyes turned to the entrance of the Nuan Pavilion, and the two people sitting there stood up instantly.

Even Hongnong King Liu Bian, who was crying alone just a second ago, did it as fast as lightning.

"Cao...General Cao, how is the situation?"

I don’t know what the Queen Mother He originally planned to be called, but after a quick reaction, she changed her name to General.

Cao Ang gave Queen Mother He a gentle smile.

Then he nodded and said: "I have successfully convinced Li Ru that he is willing to cooperate with me in sending you out of the palace."

I heard such a positive answer.

Everyone's faces showed expressions of surprise.

Liu Bian even wiped away his tears, and his whole spirit was lifted up. His face was filled with emotion and sigh, and he actually took the initiative to bow to Cao Ang.

"General Cao sacrificed his life several times to save us. Such a profound kindness is deeply felt by Bian and will never be forgotten. If there is a chance to repay him in the future, Bian will do his best!"

Seeing Liu Bian being so solemn about his actions.

Cao Ang couldn't help being surprised.

I have to say that this kid is still a bit good at being a good person. At least he will repay his kindness. Regardless of whether he is talking about it now or really thinking so in his heart, Cao Ang felt relieved after hearing this.

Of course, he doesn't expect anything in return.

After all, this is his half-son. If a father saves his child, doesn’t he need his child to do anything in return?

My thoughts changed.

Cao Ang quickly helped Liu Bian up with both hands, and then said with the same emotion: "Your Majesty is the king of a country, and I am also a minister of the Han Dynasty. How can I repay you?"

After helping the little emperor up.

Cao Ang took advantage of the situation and took out the elixir he had just shown to Li Ru. He opened the cork and gave one elixir to each person while explaining in his mouth.

"This is a pill from the Western Regions. After taking it, you can maintain suspended animation for twelve hours. You will each swallow one pill later, and I will arrange the rest."

"We are in a hurry right now, and there is no time to elaborate on many things. Li Ru has to rush back to report to Dong Zhuo, so if there is nothing else, just take the medicine and lie down."

A few people who were a little nervous because of the pungent smell of the pills immediately held them in their hands as if they had found a treasure.

Regardless of whether it is fragrant or smelly, if you point to this thing to save your life, it means that no matter how unpleasant it is, you will have to swallow it.

…

After holding the dark pill in her hand and looking at its shape for a moment, Queen Mother He did not dare to waste time. In line with her full trust in Cao Ang, she immediately turned to Liu Bian and Tang Ji and said.

"Bian'er, Wan'er, since time is urgent, you two should lie down on the bed now, take this pill, and then mother-in-law will discuss something with General Cao."

Liu Bian did not question it.

After lying down very obediently, he endured nausea and swallowed the fake death medicine in one gulp.

I have to say how amazing this thing is.

As the pill entered his stomach, within a few dozen breaths, Liu Bian, who was still breathing evenly, gradually became silent and lay motionless on the couch.

Cao Ang reached out and pressed his chest, but he couldn't detect the slightest beat of the heart, and the pulse was also dead silent. He was afraid that no matter how experienced someone came, he would just treat it as a corpse.

He nodded with satisfaction.

Then he turned to look at Tang Ji, indicating that it was her turn next.

Tang Ji first lay down half beside Liu Bian, but did not swallow the pill immediately.

I just have some doubts in my heart.

According to common sense, shouldn't a mother let her son take the elixir last?

What if there is something wrong with this thing?

It is reasonable to let herself eat first, after all, she is just the daughter-in-law, but the emperor should not be allowed to eat before everyone else.

Unless the Queen Mother trusted General Cao very much, or the Queen Mother deliberately stayed at the end to take this elixir, something she didn't want the couple to know.

Something doesn't feel right.

But Tang Ji didn't think that deeply. She just thought that the queen mother might want to discuss some things with General Cao after leaving the city. After all, it was still unclear where their family would go in life after leaving Luoyang City.

Think about this.

After Tang Ji bowed slightly to signal Cao Ang and Queen Mother He, she lay down and swallowed the elixir in her mouth.

But before she could swallow it.

When her vision blurred, she saw a scene that shocked her extremely.

I saw the queen mother, who was standing dignifiedly on one side, suddenly rushed towards General Cao, and General Cao also stretched out his arms.

The two hugged each other so tightly.

shock!

Extremely shocked!

Tang Ji was in a state of shock, and her originally delicate eyes seemed to be about to stare out.

It turns out that the queen mother was the last one to take the elixir because of this incident!

She actually has such a relationship with General Cao.

Yes, without such a close relationship, why would anyone risk their lives to come to the rescue? There are so many people in the court who claim to be loyal ministers, but none of them are so bold!

what to do?

I accidentally stumbled upon this incident. I must keep it secret in the future, otherwise I might be silenced!

Just when Tang Ji wanted to see what would happen next and listen to what kind of conversation the queen mother would have with General Cao, the pill she swallowed had already taken effect.

Consciousness gradually sank into darkness.
