After the Empress Dowager Dong appeared, the moment he saw the Empress Dowager Dong coming over, Hua Xiong finally breathed a sigh of relief. The best result is, of course, that the Empress Dowager Dong appears and is in their hands, and the worst result is, of course, that the Empress Dowager Dong dies, and she has to carry out a process of framing the blame.

Although Empress Dowager Dong was apprehensive in her heart, she had already decided that the moment she walked out of the utility room, she was already destined to not be able to regret it. So she walked very slowly and steadily, and although there was a layer of dust on her clothes, it could not hide her graceful bearing.

Hua Xiong was in awe of the Empress Dowager Dong, and hurriedly greeted the Empress Dowager Dong before he walked up to him.

If it were a man, in the face of this possible danger to his life, Hua Xiong would not believe that there were a few people who would face it calmly. Not to mention women, women, just look at those palace maids, how many of them are still trembling and don't even dare to raise their heads.

But Empress Dowager Dong can, she dares to look directly at herself, although Huaxiong still sees the lack of confidence from her eyes, but this is really rare. No matter how noble a woman is, she is actually just a woman, and because of her dignity, she has never experienced a lot of things, and she is often inferior to an ordinary person in the face of sudden situations.

Empress Dowager Dong refreshed Hua Xiong's original opinion, he is indeed truly respectful, not only from Li Ru's confession.

"Queen Mother, please forgive me for waiting for my armor to be unable to make a big salute." Hua Xiong half-knelt down and said with his fists clenched.

Behind Hua Xiong, the cavalrymen who were originally riding on the war horses also jumped off their war horses, half-knelt down, clenched their fists, and made exactly the same movements as Hua Xiong

"The Queen Mother is a thousand years old!"

Not only these cavalrymen who were originally riding on war horses, but also those cavalry at the door of the room, all of them acted the same way at the moment. All the cavalry knelt down half-kneeling, and after Hua Xiong spoke out for the first time, they showed their respect for the Empress Dowager Dong in this way.

"This..."Empress Dowager Dong slowed down, confused by the current scene.

It turned out that at first, she thought that these people were actually thieves, and then she thought that they were people sent by the He family, and in the end, she didn't even know the specific identities of these people. Until now, seeing the armor on her body, and the blood left on the armor on her body, she really couldn't think of who these people were.

Kill yourself, right? But when they saw themselves, they still respected and saluted, and they didn't have the appearance of coming to kill people at all.

To save yourself, right? It's not like these people at the beginning, but they killed all the soldiers who originally protected her and the eunuchs who served her.

I don't know if any of those people survived, but what Empress Dowager Dong saw now was not a single living person, those soldiers, those eunuchs, all dead. The rest, present were only the many palace maids who drove with the car to serve his daily life.

When she just came out of the utility room upstairs, along the way, from the utility room to here, Empress Dowager Dong saw too many corpses and too much blood. She looked into the doors of the rooms that had been called, and inside were the dead bodies of the eunuchs. Besides, along the way, in the corridors, stairs, and in the courtyard, there were also the corpses of those soldiers.

These soldiers, either separated from their bodies, or missing arms and legs, are already dead. When she saw this scene, Empress Dowager Dong almost vomited, and the strong smell of blood lingered around her, making her dare not use too much strength when she breathed.

The reason why Empress Dowager Dong has shown such a bearing is completely because of the dignity of the royal family in her bones. Even if she died, as the queen mother, she couldn't fall into the reputation of the Liu royal family!

Whether she saw those corpses or walked in front of the fierce black-armored people, Empress Dowager Dong was holding on, and her breath was always held on her chest.

"Let's be flat." Empress Dowager Dong said lightly, and lifted her hands up emptyly.

She could be sure that these people were not here to kill her, and as for why they came, she still needed to observe. It doesn't look like a thief, at least a thief can't be so well-trained, from these people, Empress Dowager Dong vaguely saw some shadows of the Yulin Army.

"Thank you, Empress Dowager!" Hua Xiong said respectfully, and then slowly got up.

"Thank you, Empress Dowager." A uniform voice sounded, and the rest of the cavalry had to stand up.

Empress Dowager Dong looked at these people and asked, "Who are you?" Why did it come about? ”

"Empress Dowager Qi, I am a general under Dong Zhuo, the general of Liangzhou Zhonglang, and I am specially ordered by my lord to protect the Empress Dowager!" Hua Xiong replied according to Li Ru's explanation.

Anyway, this is the general meaning, although I didn't say it all, but the meaning is on the line.

"Protection?" Empress Dowager Dong didn't believe this, she continued to ask, "Since it is protection, why slaughter the eunuchs who serve the mourning family and the soldiers who protect the mourning family?" ”

Empress Dowager Dong's prestige in the past gradually recovered, and she could see that these people were really not thieves, and they didn't come to kill her. Otherwise, it would be such nonsense, and it was a special salute, and she asked these questions now, and made this kind of gesture, just to be tempted.

"The Queen Mother forgives her sins! My lord received a secret report that someone was going to assassinate the Queen Mother, so he sent me to protect the Queen Mother. Those assassins, rebels with bad intentions, have been hiding among the soldiers and eunuchs all along, and when the time comes, they will suddenly attack! Hua Xiong said very seriously, but he didn't squeeze out tears to show his heart.

How could Empress Dowager Dong easily believe him because of a few words from others? Even if it is a man-made knife and I am a fish now, the Empress Dowager Dong still maintains great vigilance in her heart.

Nodding, pretending to believe what she said, Empress Dowager Dong said, "Then what evidence do you have?" ”

"This..."Hua Xiong hesitated for a moment, but still replied honestly: "No." ”

"Sure enough." Empress Dowager Dong knew in her heart that everyone had been killed, how could there be any evidence? He wanted to say that those who died were rebellious, they were rebellious, because those dead soldiers and eunuchs could not come back to life to refute him.

When Empress Dowager Dong began to guess in her heart why these people were approaching her, Hua Xiong spoke again.

"However, I told the Queen Mother, although the minister has no evidence, but there is a handwritten letter from the prince of Xie! Prince Xie's son said, let me give it to the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother will know everything after reading it. ”

"What! Xie'er! Empress Dowager Dong exclaimed, with a bit of surprise and confusion on her face.

The news from outside the palace, what she knew, was that Xie'er escaped from Luoyang City overnight. But whether this is the case or not, there is no way to know for sure.

Rather than saying that Xie'er would leave Luoyang City, Empress Dowager Dong believed that this was actually He's means. It may be because of the persecution of the poisonous woman of the He family that Xie'er is not allowed to leave Luoyang City, because it is very likely that she will be poisoned by the woman of the He family if she stays.

Now in this place, when she heard the news of Liu Xie at first glance, Empress Dowager Dong was extremely excited and surprised. She has always hoped that Liu Xie will have nothing to do, he is not only the emperor's favorite prince, but also her good grandson, because for a period of time, she personally raised Liu Xie and watched Liu Xie grow up step by step.

After the surprise, there was a deep sense of distrust. It can't be such a coincidence, these people can get this kind of clue to prove that their power is extremely huge. Otherwise, ordinary people, including some officials in the court, are completely unaware of the secrets of this kind of palace matter.

Empress Dowager Dong suddenly remembered that when the emperor was still alive, she once inadvertently talked to her about Dong Zhuo. For this reason, the Empress Dowager Dong also specially sent someone back to Hejian to carefully check the family tree, and the Dong family and Dong Zhuo in Hejian were not half related.

However, in the emperor's few words, what was reflected was the concern and fear of Dong Zhuo. According to the emperor himself, Dong Zhuo was allowed to enter the court as an official many times, but he was refused.

"What you said is true?" Although she didn't believe it, Empress Dowager Dong still asked.

"The minister doesn't dare to deceive the Queen Mother." Hua Xiong said as he took out a letter from his bosom, which Li Ru had given him before he left.

Although he didn't know what was written in the letter, Hua Xiong could not be difficult to guess from the performance of the Empress Dowager Dong and the cautious expression when Li Ru handed him the letter that it was very likely that this letter was written by Liu Xie.

He stepped forward, held the letter in his hand, and slowly handed it out. Hua Xiong exhaled softly, finally now, everything is going to end.

Empress Dowager Dong took the letter, called, and irrepressible joy appeared on her face. From the handwriting on it, she could make out that it was Liu Xie's handwriting.

Because of Empress He, Liu Xie has been fostered in the palace of the Empress Dowager Dong since he was a child, so the Empress Dowager Dong knows some of Liu Xie's habits very well, including notes. When she focused on the words in a few letters, and the dots left on the words, some of the little habits that belonged to Liu Xie from them made her completely confirm that this was the letter written by her grandson, Liu Xie!

At this moment, for these people who suddenly appeared, Empress Dowager Dong no longer had any doubts. As stated in the letter, Empress Dowager Dong herself guessed that the reason why Liu Xie escaped from Luoyang City was precisely because Empress He sent an army to arrest him, so that he had to leave Luoyang City.

In the letter, he also explained the causes of some things, as well as the current situation, etc., and also emphasized a confusion that has always existed in the heart of the Empress Dowager Dong.
