Everyone did not retreat until late at night, but they did not know that at this time, the south garden of the palace was also lit with dim candles.
"This dragon chair is indeed good.
It is much better than kneeling in that hall.
Sister Huang, come and sit too."
After Liu Xie retired from the court, he asked Xiao Huangmen to move the dragon chair to his palace, still reluctant to part with it.
Sitting on it at this time, he looked like an eleven-year-old child who was active and affectionate.
Liu Yue had a serious and fearful look on her face, as if she was very afraid of Liu Xie: "I don't dare, I, my concubine."
"It doesn't matter.
I may be able to sit on this dragon chair in the Han Dynasty for a few days."
Liu Xie didn't care at all.
Although he spoke casually, the majesty of the Tian family prince made Liu Yue dare not go beyond it.
If Ma Chao were here, he would definitely swallow his tongue: an 18-year-old princess with a mature mind and control of the peripheral power of the royal family would actually treat an 11-year-old child with respect.
Even though the hierarchy is orderly, Liu Yue It’s not respect for Liu Xie, but fear "Aunt, what has Dong Zhuo done recently?"
Liu Xie stopped looking at Liu Yue and instead looked at Liu Xiu.
Liu Xiu stood up with some embarrassment and said to Liu Xie: "Dong Zhuo seems to have become wary of his concubines recently.
He also tries his best to avoid them when talking in secret."
A flash of coldness suddenly flashed between Liu Xie's brows, but then he relaxed: "I can't blame my aunt for this.
After all, my aunt is a member of the royal family.
Dong Zhuo's new aunt is indeed a bit novel.
But as time goes by, it will gradually I feel defensive.
It must be that my aunt’s recent actions have aroused Dong Zhuo’s suspicion, which is why Dong Zhuo alienated my aunt.”
"I know, I will definitely be more careful in the future."
Liu Xiu, like Liu Yue, seemed to be very afraid of Liu Xie, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and said.
"That's wrong, what aunt has to do is do nothing."
Liu Xie seemed to appreciate Liu Yue a little.
But he was a little disgusted with Liu Xiu, who was a bit cowardly and lacked flexibility: "My aunt has learned the secret books passed down from the palace."
"I have read it," Liu Xiu replied with a blushing face: among those secret books.
They are all about provocative dances, sexual intercourse between men and women, and some more shameless entertainment.
Even though Liu Xiu is already Dong Zhuo.
Seeing those, I couldn't help but blush.
Seeing Liu Xiu's resistance, Liu Xie frowned slightly, and then said sadly: "Being born into an emperor's family, one is destined to sacrifice for the imperial power.
This is indeed wronging my aunt.
If Emperor Ling hadn't been stupid, I would not resort to such despicable means.”
Liu Xie was the son of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty.
And he actually slandered his father in front of his sister and aunt.
This is really unbelievable.
You must know that the Han Dynasty was different from modern times.
The master of heaven and earth has a strict hierarchy.
Liu Xie's words of "no king and no father" are inevitable.
If someone listens to them, they will inevitably say that he has no virtue.
Drive him from the throne Liu Yue and Liu Xiu looked at each other and both lowered their heads: "My emperor, the Holy Ming, will work hard to turn the tide and revive the Han Dynasty."
"Haha, even my aunt and sister said so."
Liu Xie smiled miserably.
He no longer looks like an eleven-year-old boy, but looks like an old man who has suffered through vicissitudes of life: "I am just a villain who harmed my father and killed my brother.
If the Han Dynasty and the country were not in turmoil now, I would have gone to hell to atone for my sins."

Earth-shattering Liu Xie was actually involved in the death of Emperor Ling and the murder of Liu Bian You know, Liu Xie was only nine years old when Emperor Ling died of illness.
Whether he poisoned the child directly or indirectly manipulated the child, it was too deep and cruel.
No matter how dim the Ling Emperor was, he was Liu Xie's father after all.
There is also the mediocre and incompetent Liu Bian, who has never done anything harmful to Liu Xie, and Liu Xie seems to have participated in Dong Zhuo's poisoning of Liu Bian.
"Your Majesty must not say such discouraging words.
Now the Dong thieves are causing trouble, and all the ministers are bent on taking power.
The royal family is in turmoil, and it is time for someone as decisive as your Majesty to be born."
Liu Yue reacted faster, waiting for Liu Xie After saying this, he immediately offered words of comfort.
"What Yue'er said is absolutely true.
Now that Dong Zhuo and Ma Chao are very close, there must be some conspiracy."
Although Liu Xiu was cowardly, under the pressure of survival, she also learned some life-saving means: for example, telling the news, At least Liu Xie felt that she was still useful.
"Ma Chao" Liu Xie smiled and said with a hint of playfulness: "He is indeed a wonderful man.
Then what does Dong Zhuo want to do to Ma Chao?"
"Marriage."
Liu Xiu replied.
"Marriage" Liu Xie was startled, then sat down slowly: "Then Ma Chao must not have agreed."
"It's true.
I'm stupid and can't think of the reason."
Liu Xiu seemed to be used to Liu Xie's calculations.
What she was more concerned about was why this eleven-year-old child didn't speak up at the scene.
Answer
"Dong Zhuo wants to unite with Ma Chao.
No matter whether Dong Zhuo wins or loses in the future, Dong Zhuo will benefit.
But for Ma Chao, there is no benefit at all from joining forces with Dong Zhuo.
How could he agree to this marriage?"
"Dong Zhuo is so powerful and powerful.
If Ma Chao marries Dong Zhuo, wouldn't he be able to take advantage of it?"
Liu Yue was puzzled and expressed her doubts, waiting for Liu Xie's explanation.
Liu Xiu on the side also had the same idea.
"Joking of opportunity" Liu Xie smiled disdainfully, and after taking a sip of the tribute tea: "A person who can understand such a wonderful thing can't see that Dong Zhuo has no power to borrow from.
What's more, if Ma Chao really takes advantage of Dong Zhuo's power, I'm afraid that in the future With the power of one state, he can face the denunciation of all the scholars and princes of the Han Dynasty.
He will accept such a result."
"Your Majesty, why did Ma Chao come to Chang'an?"
Liu Yue was completely convinced by Liu Xie's wisdom, so she spoke.
"In my opinion, Ma Chao may use the banner of avenging his father at the right time to deceive the world as a cover.
But fundamentally, he seems to be very ambitious."
"What do you mean?"
Liu Yue asked.
"After Ma Chao established Yongzhou, why didn't he try to conquer Liangzhou and not destroy Hanzhong?"
Liu Xie smiled and asked.
"Liangzhou is remote and useless; Hanzhong is mountainous and easy to defend and difficult to attack; what's more, Liangzhou, Yongzhou, and Hanzhong are already connected.
If Ma Chao rashly moves his troops, he will naturally divide his troops into two groups.
If there is no In the face of absolute strength and certainty of victory, it is useless to use troops.
On the contrary, it will arouse the fear of both parties."
Liu Yue thought about the positions of the three places and replied tentatively.

"If the imperial sister were a man, she would also be one of the princes and kings," Liu Xie praised.
Seeing that Liu Yue wanted to accuse him again, he waved his little hand and continued: "Yes, Ma Chao thought the same as you, that's why he He came to Chang'an because he knew that his biggest enemy was in Chang'an."
"Your Majesty is saying that Ma Chao is here for Your Majesty," Liu Xiu said, still immersed in the fantasy of a royal princess.
"I'm just an eleven-year-old child."
Liu Xie laughed loudly, but among the laughter, there was a child who was not sad or helpless at all: "Auntie overestimates the royal family.
Ma Chaoneng will take the imperial power into consideration, but he will never go to any trouble.
He is our enemy, otherwise, why would he be so respectful to us?"
"This" Liu Xiu was a little unwilling, because she couldn't figure out why Ma Chao was respectful to Liu Xie, which showed that he had no intention of taking action against the royal family.
But Liu Yue was smarter and said: "Then Ma Chao is here to deal with Dong Zhuo and those scholars."
"Yes, maybe he wants to gain fame like Sun Jian; or maybe he just wants to seize Dong Zhuo's troops, horses and property, but there is no denying that he came at the right time and at the wrong time."
As he said that, Liu Xie's eyes showed a gloomy look that was totally inconsistent with his age: "I want to see him and, if possible, I will marry my sister to him."
"Ah" Liu Yue was shocked and couldn't explain what she felt in her heart:
