Start with Yan Liang, the Sims of Yuan Shao's youngest son

Chapter 106 The bird in the cage

Dark clouds cover the moon, the sky has already changed, and the deserted city of Xudu is shrouded in an invisible and intangible resentment, but one can actually feel its existence.Curls of smoke rose from the city wall and scattered into the former residences of the small people. It was the night watchmen who burned incense to drive away ghosts.

A small sedan chair with a green mantle, escorted by several attendants, slowly came to the palace gate.

"What are you doing!" The guard raised his long ax and stared at them suspiciously.

Ji Ping stepped forward from the back of the sedan chair, took out a sign, flashed it in front of their eyes, and said flatteringly: "I am the imperial physician in the palace, and I am here to see Long Yan by the order of the emperor."

"Who is inside?" The guard lifted the curtain and saw the red hijab on the head of the person in the sedan chair.

This time, the guard understood.He waved his hand coldly: "Go in!"

Seeing this group of people quickly flashing into the palace city, another guard said: "Hey, let me tell you, isn't this sedan chair from Baihualou? The little emperor is very sick, how can he still do this?"

"Isn't his favorite Dong Guiren dead?" The guard shrugged, "The general didn't say that prostitutes are not allowed in, so let him!"

The sedan chair went straight through several palace walls and stopped in front of Yongning Palace.

The attendant hurriedly opened the curtain, and the person in the sedan chair came out slowly, and took off the red scarf on his head.

It was Yuan Ke in gorgeous women's clothing.

He was also the one who came up with this trick of men disguised as women.

The imperial palace was already heavily guarded, and it was under the strict surveillance of Cao Cao. It was naturally difficult to enter the palace in a dignified manner.As a last resort, Yuan Ke had no choice but to conspire with Ji Ping and pretend to be a woman summoned by the emperor, which fooled the guards.

"Your Majesty is inside, I'll guard you here, you go in!" Ji Ping said.

Yuan Ke pushed the door open a small crack and slipped in.Four or five candles were burning in the main hall, and the flames flickered non-stop, as if they would go out at any moment.He looked around, and all he could see was dust and cobwebs, but he didn't see the shadow of the emperor.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty?" Yuan Ke called softly, but no one answered.

Faced with this weird scene, Yuan Ke felt a little hairy, and beads of sweat oozed from his palms.

After an unknown amount of time, a slight sound came from the depths of the hall: "Cough..."

It sounded like a mouthful of phlegm stuck in his throat.

Yuan Ke walked up to where the sound came from, only to see a bed in the northwest corner of the hall, on which lay a man with a haggard appearance, disheveled hair, and the quilt covered with vomit, which was emitting a sour smell breath.

"This is... the current emperor?" Yuan Ke was stunned.

He had never had the chance to see the real face of Emperor Liu Xie before. He only heard that the former King Chen Liu was young and intelligent. Now when he met him, he discovered that the emperor who was not a few years older than himself actually had gray hair. More than ten years older than myself.

Seeing his pitiful appearance, Yuan Ke couldn't help feeling pity in his heart, and asked softly, "Your Majesty, are you okay?"

Liu Xie's eyes were bulging, he stared straight at the roof, and a few words rolled out of his throat: "I...hungry...hungry...hungry..."

Yuan Ke took out a piece of snack from the fruit basket beside him, and said softly: "Your Majesty, eat cake!"

Liu Xie probably was so hungry that he didn't even have the strength to raise his hand, and he was still just moaning on the bed, but his whole body was motionless.

There was no way, Yuan Ke broke the dim sum into small pieces, opened his mouth and stuffed it in.But he didn't expect that Liu Xie jumped up as if he was electrocuted, spit out the snacks in his mouth, and screamed: "Poisonous... Poisonous! Don't kill me..."

Crazy people also have the right to happiness, not to mention that Liu Xie was forced to be like this in the first place.Those who were sincere to him left him one by one, leaving him alone in the cage woven by Cao Cao, talking to himself lonely.

Yuan Ke sighed, didn't dislike the filth on the quilt at all, lifted Liu Xie up so that he could sit against the wall, and said in his ear: "Your Majesty, I'm here to save you, the cake is not poisonous, don't worry eat!"

"Help me..." Liu Xie turned his head slightly to him, "Who are you..."

"I am the son of General Yuan Shao, Yuan Ke!" Yuan Ke said solemnly.

There was a flash of shock in Liu Xie's eyes. He stared at Yuan Ke, and after an unknown amount of time, he murmured softly: "Yuan... Ke..."

There was a babbling sound in his throat, as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it.I saw him supporting the edge of the bed with both hands, looking under the bed with his head, and accidentally rolled down!

"Your Majesty!" Yuan Ke exclaimed, quickly carried him back to the bed, and asked, "Your Majesty, what are you doing?"

Liu Xie seemed to have returned to his old dazed look, and kept repeating: "Look...find...find..."

"Looking for? What are you looking for?" Yuan Ke was taken aback, "Is there something under the bed?"

He lay down on the ground and reached out to dig under the bed. After groping for a while, he touched something soft, which looked like a fabric like cloth.

He pulled out what it was, only to find that it was a roll of yellow cloth.He opened the yellow cloth, and several strings of blood-stained writing came into his eyes:

"Decree to punish Cao Cao..."

Yuan Ke's heart skipped a beat, and he looked in shock at the mad-looking emperor in front of him.

A lunatic... how did he know how to write the imperial edict with blood, and also used the yellow silk specially used for the imperial edict?

Such a dangerous imperial edict was casually thrown under the bed. If an eunuch or court lady saw it and handed it over to Cao Cao, would he still have any good fruit to eat?
Thinking of this, Yuan Ke understood.

He was tricked by the emperor.

Liu Xie's mind is not stupid, he still wants to bring down Cao Cao, but the tragedies that happened to the people around him made him feel lingering fear, and he was forced to make such a bad move as if walking on thin ice.

Needless to say, this imperial edict was secretly thrown under the bed after Liu Xie learned of his identity.

However, as long as there is this edict, the next thing will be much easier.

He just needs to bring this edict to his father, so that the Yuan family can occupy the moral high ground in an upright manner, and call on the world's righteous army to destroy Cao Cao together!

Thinking of this, Yuan Ke hurriedly hid the imperial edict in his sleeve, saluted Liu Xie respectfully, and said, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I, Yuan Ke, swear here that I will definitely kill Cao Cao and avenge Dong Guiren!"

When he mentioned Dong Guiren, he clearly saw that Liu Xie's eyes twitched, showing a little tenderness.

"Go...go..." Liu Xie said vaguely.

The moon in the sky also appeared at some point, and it was probably almost Yin time.In the cold wind blowing, a small sedan chair with green mantle drove out of the palace, like a flat boat flowing into the river and sea.
