Chapter 35 The Empress Dowager Died
Early the next morning, the civil and military officials of the court were alarmed, and some families who had been disdainful of Dong Zhuo had a feeling of fear.
How dare Dong Zhuo! How dare you!
How dare I kill the empress dowager in the dynasty!
After taking the poison, the empress dowager accidentally knocked over the oil lamp and lit the palace. Fortunately, Lu Bu, the leader of the imperial guards, rescued him in time, just because there was too much fire.
Looking at the somewhat messy Yong'an Palace, Dong Zhuo's face was a little solemn, "Wenyou can have a check?"
"Report to the lord, there was only Empress Dowager He who was the body last night, and the other palace maids were there. They also tested it. They died of poisoning and died of death, not burned to death."
Li Ru, who lowered his head, reported everything carefully, but Dong Zhuo snorted coldly after hearing this.
"Since it is the Empress Dowager's palace maid, then you can go to serve with him."
promise!
Dong Zhuo left with great strides, and all the palace maids must have died last night. After all, all the palaces were replaced by his people.
What's more, when Lu Bu was doing things last night, countless pairs of imperial guards were staring at each other. It was impossible for one person to run out of Yong'an Palace. There were two eunuchs who personally went to verify that Empress Dowager He was in the hall.
Although Dong Zhuo was in a bad mood, he couldn't help but smile when he thought of the terrifying expression deep in the eyes of the officials this morning.
When the palace was covered in mourning, a figure hid in a dry well in the corner of the south wall of Yong'an Palace in the hole dug out on the side of the dry well. At this time, she didn't dare to breathe.
There was a foul smell at the bottom of the well, and there was a faint smell of urine and a foul smell in the air.
A pair of firm and hatred-filled phoenix eyes stared at the darkness, as if expounding his strength.
Lufu!
Yan looked at Lu Bu who was rushing back as if he was hiding from him, especially his eyes, dodging?
"Madam, I won't come back tonight."
After the duty, Lu Bu returned to his mansion and set out directly towards the barracks outside the city, and did not return until that night to go directly to the palace to serve on duty.
The silent palace was so white that it was as if it had been snowing because the empress dowager was poisoned to death today.
Lu Bu, who was leading the troops to patrol, looked a little solemn, raised his head and looked at the palace in the distance for a long time before sighing.
"Lord, it's too bright, let's go back and have a good rest."
Hu Cheer, who was standing beside him, stared at his dark circles, but he wanted to comfort his lord. He had never thought about the courage to kill the empress dowager for a whole day!
Responding to him was Lu Bu nodding silently, "You continue patrolling, I will go to worship the Queen Mother."
After hearing the reply from his lord, Hu Cheer nodded obviously absent-mindedly, especially when he saw the snow-white palace, his eyes couldn't help but look of fear.
The divine empowerment of the king's power is so unforgettable in this era, as if it is imprinted in the bones.
Hu Cheer left and led the remaining imperial guards to continue patrolling, leaving only two of his lord's confidant soldiers.
Since Dong Zhuo asked him to serve on the imperial guards in the palace, he still had the right to bring dozens of confidants, which was convenient for control and command.
When he stepped into the mourning hall of Yong'an Palace, he was greeted by countless fear and resentment eyes. As if Lu Bu didn't see it, he strode to the mourning hall and directly put in incense and worship, and then quickly turned around and left.
"Phoa! Dog thief."
"Dong Zhuo's lackey."
With Lu Bu being ordered to kill the empress dowager of the dynasty, his reputation was even more serious than the bad reputation exposed by killing Ding Yuan.
After walking out of the palace, Lu Bu walked unknowingly to the dry well on the south wall with a heart-stupid look.
He looked around without a trace, and at the same time, the two personal soldiers behind him gestured at him, as if they were talking about safety again.
Ding Ding Ding ~
Holding the hilt of the sword with one hand, gently knocking against the dry well three times with the tail of the scabbard.
Suddenly, there were gasping sounds in the quiet dry well, and Lu Bu and two personal soldiers stared at the surroundings as if they were facing a great enemy.
After a long time, a dirty palm appeared beside the dry well. With the heavy gasps, a embarrassed figure turned over from the dry well with heavy breathing.
"Quick! Quick!"
He was still gasping for breath, and there were several scratches on his arms, palms and legs, which were bleeding. But at this time, the person in front of him did not say anything at all, and even whispered and hurriedly ordered the person.
At the person in front of him, Lu Bu did not dare to be careless, and at the same time, he looked around with a little guilty and hurriedly said, "Hurry."
A confidant guard directly untied the armor outside, and at the same time, the woman crawling out of the well even took off her palace maid's suit in a mess, revealing the black strong suit inside.
The two confidant guards were both relatively thin and small in size, and they were worn on their bodies with only a little larger armor.
After the two changed their clothes, Lu Bu hurriedly whispered to the personal soldiers who had changed into palace maids' clothing: "Stay here well, and you will be secretly throwing food and water from the well every day in the future."
After hearing Lu Bu's words, the woman who had just changed into armor actually stepped forward and said anxiously: "Lu Bu! Are you crazy? What if you are discovered, all your previous efforts are wasted!"
But the confidant who changed into palace maid's costume opened her mouth and gestured ah, she immediately saw that the other party's tongue was missing.
The shocked woman widened her eyes and looked back at another guard with conditioned reflex. The other party obviously opened her mouth and revealed a broken scene.
After seeing this, Lu Bu nodded with a serious expression, "Don't worry, they are all Han slaves who will be rescued from the Xianbei, and they are loyal to me."
After being shocked, the woman smiled sarcastically, then looked up at the general in front of her and said, "Ce is not in charge of soldiers. Does the general understand this truth?"
After asking back, this woman seemed to be the general of everyone, and looked directly at the soldier who exchanged clothes with him.
There was endless majesty in the phoenix eyes, "Since you are General Lu's confidant, you should know that once the matter is leaked, your general will end."
After saying this, the mute guard showed a sincere smile, knelt on his knees, and kowtowed three times to Lu Bu.
After walking to the dry well, looking back at his lord, he nodded firmly and jumped down directly.

The crisp sound of fractures sounded and the last muffled groan, and Lu Bu chose to remain silent about all this.
In ancient times, confidants, subordinates, and deadpool were all chess pieces in the hands of the owner. It was better to use them at critical moments than to give up at will.
Holding the discomfort in his heart, Lu Bu walked to the woman, and his originally respectful eyes gradually changed.
Gradually becoming a little indifferent, gradually becoming unruly. Lu Bu looked down at the woman who was shorter than him, grinning and making a low threat.
"Empress Dowager He has passed away. You are now just a dead soldier of this general!"
Under the unruly eyes, it seemed that her life and death were all under the control of the other party.
With her indifferent and unruly eyes like a wolf and an eagle, she panicked and swallowed nervously. Her chapped lips, which had not been in water or food for a day, were pale, but the other party's eyes kept staring, and finally she couldn't help but take a step back.
"I~, I understand."
Finally, it was not until the other party gave in that Lu Bu chose to give up threatening the person in front of him, and turned around and looked at the whiteness gradually revealed in the night sky.
The dead leaves fall into the dry well, and the dense dead leaves cover up the figure that has lost its life.
