Seeing the emperor looking at him like this, Cao Jie couldn't help but feel uneasy and asked, "Why is Your Majesty looking at me like this?" The emperor grabbed Cao Jie's slender hand. Cao Jie was shocked and subconsciously wanted to pull his hand back, but in the end he didn't do so.

The emperor begged: "Empress, you are my queen and the empress of the Han Dynasty. I and the Han Dynasty can only rely on you!" Cao Jie hurriedly said: "Your Majesty doesn't have to do this! I know my duty, and I will protect Your Majesty with all my strength!" The emperor looked at Cao Jie's eyes, and saw that her eyes were sincere and unfair, he couldn't help but nod. Then he smiled bitterly and said, "If the artifact of the Han Dynasty falls beside me, what's the point of keeping peace!" Cao Jie frowned when he heard this, he couldn't help but frown, feeling a little unhappy and a little worried.

The emperor glanced at Cao Jie and suddenly knelt down to Cao Jie. Cao Jie was shocked and knelt on the ground to bow back, and said anxiously: "What is your Majesty doing? You are really a traitor!" The emperor raised his head and said sadly and helplessly: "I have no one to be reliable at all, I can only rely on the queen! Please, for the sake of your husband and wife, for your sake of being the queen of the Han Dynasty, please help me and the big man!" Cao Jie hurriedly said: "Your Majesty doesn't need to be like this! Since I am your queen, I have the order, and I must obey it!"

The emperor's eyes showed joy. Cao Jie stood up, walked forward, and helped the emperor up. The emperor said sincerely: "Empress, I want to invite you, please find a way to take my edict out to General Lu Bu!..." Seeing Cao Jie frowned, he hurriedly said: "Empress, don't misunderstand me! I have no intention of murdering the Prime Minister! I just want to summon Lu Bu to Xuchang as a guarantee for my royal family! I am not trusting the Prime Minister, but really, the Prime Minister's family is here, I am afraid I can't be busy with the redundant tasks in the court!"

Cao Jie smiled bitterly, couldn't help but sigh, and said, "I and Your Majesty are husband and wife, why should you be so guarded against me?" The emperor looked a little embarrassed. Cao Jie looked at the emperor and said, "Since your Majesty has to rely on me, you have to trust me!" The emperor didn't know what to say. Cao Jie said, "I know Your Majesty's intentions. Your Majesty just wants to use Lu Bu to restrain my father..." He paused and frowned and said, "But this matter is probably difficult!" The emperor was shocked and asked hurriedly: "Why?"

Cao Jie sighed, looked at the emperor, and said unhappily: "Your Majesty! The world is completely different from the Han Dynasty's ruler! The current situation is similar to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. The princes nominally obey the court, but in fact they all do their own governments and systems! Now my father fought with Lu Bu, which is a great enemy of life and death. Even though Lu Bu received the order from His Majesty, how could he come to Xuchang? Wouldn't he betray himself if he was arrested and killed?" The emperor realized this problem and couldn't speak, looking at him at a loss.

Seeing his husband's cowardly look, Cao Jie couldn't help but feel a sense of regret that he couldn't help but feel bad, and said, "Your Majesty, don't you think randomly. What can you do if you can leave my father? You have to rely on a certain prince? In fact, don't the princes use your princes? Who will be truly loyal to your princes? Even the seemingly loyal Han clan relative Liu Bei is the same! As soon as he left Xuchang, he took out the robbery entrusted to him without hesitation, completely ignoring the situation that Your Majesty is still in my father's hands. I think that at that time, Liu Bei was afraid that my father wanted his father to kill Your Majesty, so that he would have a more legitimate excuse to call on the princes to attack my father in order to make profits in the chaos! Liu Bei, a Han clan relative, is like this, does Your Majesty think that other princes have exceptions!" The emperor was stunned and couldn't speak!

Seeing her husband like this, Cao Jie couldn't help but feel unbearable and couldn't help but say, "If Your Majesty wants to revive the Han Dynasty, you can only rely on yourself!" The emperor felt confused when he heard this. Cao Jie seemed to want to say something, but in the end he still didn't say it.

Changsha, Zhou Yu's mansion. Zhou Yu slowly opened his eyes. Seeing the familiar ceiling, he couldn't help but be stunned and murmured: "Am I not dead yet?"

"Grandmaster, you can't die!" An old man's voice suddenly sounded next to him. Zhou Yu couldn't help but turn his head and look at him. An old man with a buckle with a white face and a white hair was sitting on the bed and smiling at him. Zhou Yu looked surprised and asked, "Who is the Immortal Chief?" The old man smiled and said, "I dare not be the Immortal Chief. Old Hua Tuo, have seen the Great Governor!" Zhou Yu was stunned, "Hua Tuo? That miracle doctor? You, aren't you, aren't you Lu Bu's subordinate? Why...?" Hua Tuo smiled and said, "Grandmaster has been in a coma for a long time and I don't know some things. In fact, all the land in Changsha has been recovered by the general now!..."

Zhou Yu's expression changed drastically and he shouted: "What? Changsha is lost?"

Hua Tuo smiled and said, "The Grand Governor should not be so excited. Changsha was recovered by the General is a blessing for the people here!" Zhou Yu asked hurriedly, "How are the lord Bo Fu and others? Have they all been captured by Lu Bu?" Hua Tuo shook his head and said, "No. As far as I know, General Sun Jian and Major General Sun broke through and fled to Wuling County!"

Zhou Yu couldn't help feeling relieved when he heard this. Hua Tuo saw Zhou Yu's expression in his eyes and said with some meaning: "The Grand Governor is grateful for the two Generals Sun, but in my opinion, perhaps it is a good thing that they were captured by the General!" Zhou Yu smiled and said: "Sir is Lu Bu's subordinate, so he will naturally speak like this." Hua Tuo smiled and said: "People in the world are used to act voluntarily, so they can't see through many things!"

Zhou Yu did not listen to Hua Tuo's words. Thinking of his current situation, he couldn't help asking: "Am I a prisoner of Lu Bu now? How do Lu Bu plan to deal with me?" Zhou Yu thought that he was Lu Bu's dead revenge, and this time he fell into his hands, probably only a dead end. But since Lu Bu wanted to kill him, why did he ask Hua Tuo to save him? Yes, Lu Bu did not save himself out of kindness, but clearly wanted to save himself and then use vicious methods to deal with him. Zhou Yu was not afraid when he thought of this. He just felt that since he fell into Lu Bu's hands, he wanted to see what methods Lu Bu could do!

Zhou Yu smiled slightly, and his expression naturally showed a proud look.

Hua Tuo said: "In theory, the Grand Commander should be the captive of the General. But I saw that the General did not regard the Grand Commander as a captive..." Zhou Yu smiled and said: "Sir, don't talk to Lu Bu. Can't I see Lu Bu's thoughts?" Hua Tuo shook his head and said: "I am not speaking for the General, I just inform the Grand Commander of the General. What is the truth? I can't control what the Grand Commander thinks.

During this period, I have been diagnosed with the Grand Commander. I don’t know how many times I have been in and out of the mansion. But I have never seen a soldier and guard outside the mansion. Is this the attitude towards the captives?” Zhou Yu was surprised and snorted coldly and said, “Lu Bu has given me favor, so I thought Zhou Yu would surrender? Zhou Yu is just to serve his lord in this life, and he will never have any intentions! His actions will not succeed!”

Hua Tuo shook his head with a smile.

Seeing this, Zhou Yu couldn't help but ask, "Why do you laugh?"

Hua Tuo glanced at Zhou Yu and said with a smile: "I laugh at the governor who judges a gentleman's ambition by the heart of a villain!" Zhou Yu was furious and shouted sternly: "You actually say I am a villain?" Hua Tuo asked back: "I randomly regard the kindness of others as malicious intentions, not the heart of a villain. Is it still the heart of a gentleman?" Zhou Yu frowned and said, "What does this mean?"

Hua Tuo said, "The General must have thought that the General was favored and intended to surrender to you. But I think the General had no intention of this at all. The General gave General Zhang Liao's orders before leaving Changsha, so that the General was not to make things difficult for the General. After the General recovered from his illness, he could leave as long as he wanted to leave, and no one would stop him. I think the General was so eager to summon Lao to live, and it was nothing more than to cherish the General's hero. Haha, but the General was so guessing that the General was too villain? I think the General was really overestimated by the General!" Zhou Yu's face turned pale and pale, and he couldn't speak.

Hua Tuo stood up with a stick and said, "Although the Grand Governor is not seriously injured, he is still very weak and needs a good rest. I will not disturb the Grand Governor's rest, and I will come to see the Grand Governor later. I will say goodbye." As he said that, he nodded slightly and turned around and went out.

Zhou Yu came to his senses and couldn't help but look at the door. Hua Tuo's figure disappeared at the door. Then his butler Zhou Fu and the doctor who had been taking care of him quickly walked in.

Both of them looked very excited until Zhou Yu’s window. Zhou Fu couldn’t help but sigh: “Young Master, you, you are alive!”

Zhou Yu sighed and said nothing. Zhou Fu and the doctor couldn't help looking at each other. Zhou Fu asked, "Young Master seems to be very upset?" Zhou Yu looked at the ceiling and murmured, "I didn't expect that it was Lu who saved me. What should I do? A real man is clearly in grudges. Although I don't like Lu Bu, I have a life-saving grace to me. I should repay him!"

Zhou Fu couldn't help but say, "Grandmaster, villain, does a villain have a saying that should be said or not?" Zhou Yu glanced at him and said, "Uncle Zhou Fu, although you and me are called masters and servants, they are actually the same as their family. If you have anything to say, it's okay."

"Yes, young master, the villain thinks, I think the young master should be the general!..."
