Chapter 82 I hope General Cao will stay one more night [Please read and ask for monthly tickets]

"Well..."

I don't know how long I waited in this awkward atmosphere, but finally there was a soft groan from the table next to me, and then I saw the Queen Mother slowly opening her eyes.

For a moment, everyone in the room finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the awkward atmosphere was finally broken.

"Queen Mother, how do you feel now?"

The first person she saw when she opened her eyes was Cao Ang, whom she had long missed. Queen Mother He's beautiful eyes couldn't help but reveal joy.

After a playful wink.

The Queen Mother quickly restrained her joy, then struggled to sit up, pressed her temples vigorously with her fingers, and then spoke in a calm tone.

"I'm fine, I just have a slight headache, but compared to escaping from my own life, these small pains are really innocuous."

"I think the situation here is very different from that in the palace. It seems to be an ordinary common people's home. I guess it must be outside the palace?"

I don’t know whether it was because Queen Mother He was in better physical condition or because she was an adult, but she only had a slight headache and no symptoms of severe coughing.

At this moment, under the serious tone of this beautiful woman, Cao Ang could not help but answer solemnly.

"Reporting to the Queen Mother, we are indeed in a private house on the outskirts of Luoyang at this moment."

"good!"

"General Cao is loyal and devoted, and he does his best to rescue me, the emperor, and the imperial concubine, even at the risk of his life. He is a loyal general and a hero of the country!"

"When Thief Dong is executed in the future, and I and the Emperor return to court, I will give you a generous reward!"

Queen Mother He was dignified, elegant and luxurious, which was very suitable for her status as Queen Mother.

However, when Tang Ji heard these words, she couldn't help but curl her lips.

What more generous rewards do you want!

Queen mother, didn't you reward General Cao with all your own gifts? What else could he be dissatisfied with?

With your figure, appearance, and temperament that captivates all sentient beings, can General Cao not be a loyal minister?

If it were me, I would be loyal!

…

I don't know what my daughter-in-law is thinking.

Queen Mother He just asked Cao Ang in a routine matter: "Did you encounter any difficulties or dangers in the process of rescuing my mother and son from the palace this time?"

Cao Ang was about to bow and answer.

But suddenly I remembered something.

He hurriedly patted his forehead, and then said to the Queen Mother in a fast voice: "Thanks to you and Your Majesty, it can be said that there were no dangers along the way."

"After Li Ru abandoned the secret and turned to the light, he cooperated with the ministers to transport you and others out of the palace. He only sent you, His Majesty and the imperial concubine to this house, thanks to the great help of two loyal people."

"If it hadn't been for their righteous action, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to accomplish it with just one person!"

The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows.

She had a delicate face, but said in a solemn tone: "Oh? Where are the two loyal ministers?"

"You might as well invite us to see them inside. I and Your Majesty will also give them a good reward!"

While talking.

The Queen Mother put her beautiful feet into her shoes, stood up, straightened her clothes, and then sat down on the couch.

The emperor and Tang Ji on the side all made the same movements.

They can relax a little in front of Cao Ang and don't have to be so restrained. After all, they have known each other for a long time.

But in front of foreign ministers other than Cao Ang, you must maintain your appearance and manners. At least the etiquette between the Queen Mother and the Emperor must not be lost.

After several people have finished packing.

Cao Ang just opened the door, and then waved to Zhang Liao and Xun Yu who had been waiting outside for a while.

The two of them entered the house.

He immediately made a solemn courtesy to the Queen Mother and others.

"My Majesty, Zhang Liao, the commander of the army under the command of Lieutenant Huben, is here to see your majesty, the queen mother, and the imperial concubine!"

"I am guarding the palace and order Xun Yu to see your majesty, the queen mother, and the imperial concubine!"

Under the hint of Queen Mother He's eyes.

Liu Bian, who was sitting on the couch and had solemnly received the ceremony, quickly stood up and came to the two of them in a few steps.

Then he stretched out his hands and helped them both up at the same time.

His mouth was full of sincerity, and he said in a sincere tone: "Zhang Qing, Xun Qing, please get up quickly!"

"I am now a deposed emperor and no longer the emperor of the Han Dynasty. How can I accept this great gift?"

"You two braved hardships and dangers, were not afraid of Dong's thieves' weapons, and resolutely rescued each other in the deep palace to save the lives of my family. It is only fitting that I should be the one to perform this great gift!"

After saying that, Liu Bian immediately raised his hands forward, as if he was really preparing to bow down.

This frightened Zhang Liao and Xun Yu.

The two people hurriedly helped Liu Bian to the left and right, and forced him to sit down on the couch.

"I can't do it, I can't do it! Your Majesty is the king, and we are ministers. How can it be that your Majesty should give such a great gift?"

"What Wen Yuan said is true. Dong is a traitor and a traitor. What he said about deposing the emperor has no effect in our hearts. Your Majesty is still the king in the hearts of my ministers. You must not say such a humble thing!"

Both of them spoke sincerely.

This is indeed what they have in mind.

Even if the emperor is deposed, he will be deposed by rebels like Dong Zhuo, and is not legally recognized by the majority of Han officials.

To be able to bow down and bow down to such a low-ranking official and general like them, it is absolutely impossible to say that I am not touched at all.

After all, there is a big difference between these Han people, the aborigines who have received the emperor's favor for generations, and future visitors like Cao Ang.

Seeing that his son's mission has been completed.

Empress Dowager He finally stood up and spoke up at this time: "It is indeed a blessing for the Han Dynasty to have such loyal people like you in the Heavenly Family. You are all the pillars of the country!"

"I and Your Majesty will never forget your merits today. In the future, thieves and bandits will be killed, and they will be awarded titles and lands."

Zhang Liao and Xun Yu paid their respects again.

…

After the ceremony of monarch and minister is completed.

Queen Mother He suddenly turned her head and looked at Cao Ang aside, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a charming smile.

"Will General Cao also live in this residence in the coming days?"

Cao Ang was stunned for a moment.

Then he shook his head and replied: "I have some important matters that need to be dealt with before leaving Luoyang City. I will leave here soon."

The Queen Mother nodded slightly.

There was a little disappointment in his eyes.

But after the brilliance faded for a while, the red lips still opened slightly and said with deep meaning.

"I wonder if General Cao can stay here for one more night because of my humble appearance. This is my first time in a place with a completely different environment from the palace. I will inevitably feel panicked and find it difficult to sleep."

"If General Cao can keep a good guard in the wing next door, I will be much safer."

Cao Ang's heart skipped a beat when he heard Queen Mother He's words.

I have a vague feeling that things are not that simple.

But in the ears of Zhang Liao, Xun Yu and others, this matter seemed reasonable.

The Queen Mother has experienced so many things in the past two days, walking on the border between life and death. However, the house here is an unfamiliar environment, so it is inevitable that she will feel panicked and uneasy.

As the savior of the Empress Dowager, General Cao played a role in suppressing evil and reassuring her, so it was natural.

Only Tang Ji's eyelids twitched.

Feel bad!
