    Sili, Yin, Henan, inside a tea shed in Pingyin County.

    A young woman dressed elegantly was sitting aside, drinking bitter tea.

    The woman was Cao Jie who had escaped all the way from the Luoyang Palace. She originally wanted to go to Xinzheng in a carriage to find Liu Ke, the king of Chu. However, she encountered a sergeant from Cao's army who was chasing her on the way, so she had to abandon the carriage and take shelter in the wild wheat fields on the roadside.  Open the sergeant and go.

    Cao Jie was exhausted from this journey. She was just a weak woman, she could not withstand such a journey.

    In addition, it was now a scorching sun. Under the hot sunshine, Cao Jie fainted from heat several times on the road. If it were not for the deep admiration for the emperor Liu Xie in her heart, she would not have been able to hold on.

    It was too hot, so she entered Pingyin County, found a tea shed and asked for some tea.  Although this tea is much harder to swallow than in the palace, there is nothing that a person cannot eat in a desperate situation.

    While Cao Jie was taking a gulp of water, an old woman walked up to her and couldn't help laughing when she saw Cao Jie being so thirsty.

    "Oh, look at how thirsty my daughter is, but I don't think you look like an ordinary child, right? Why are you running around under the scorching sun?"

    Cao Jie put down the tea bowl, rolled his eyes, and made up an excuse and said, "Old lady, this little girl was originally traveling with her parents, but she met a bandit on the way and got lost."

    Hearing this, the old woman shook her head and sighed, "Hey, this is how it is in troubled times. You are lucky. It happened that King Chu's army captured Pingyin County. Otherwise, in the past, you would not have been so beautiful.  My daughter might be snatched away by that bully."

    "Old lady, do you mean that you are all very happy for the King of Chu's army to rule the world?" Cao Jie asked a little strangely.

    "Of course, the King of Chu is a rare wise ruler. His army does not bully the people, does not burn, kill, and loot. It also maintains public order in the city, and sometimes even provides relief to us people. Of course we can't wait for such a monarch."

    The old woman became more and more energetic as she talked, and she was very happy and eloquent.

    After hearing this, Cao Jie thought to himself, "It seems that King Liu Ke of Chu is indeed a great leader. In this case, it may be the right decision for Your Majesty to abdicate the throne to him."

    Silently clenching his fists, Cao Jie stood up and prepared to leave. He had to go to Xinzheng to find Liu Ke and could not stay longer.

    The old woman hurriedly stopped her and said, "Daughter, where are you going? There's chaos outside, don't you want to run around?"

    Cao Jie bowed slightly to the old woman and said, "Thank you for your concern. I'll be fine."

    After saying this, Cao Jie left this simple tea shed. However, as soon as she stepped out, she met the flying general Lu Bu.

    ¡°That woman in front, get out of the way quickly!¡±

    Lu Bu couldn't help but shout when he saw Cao Jie standing in the middle of the road staring at him.

    But Cao Jie was unmoved and instead said loudly, "I am Cao Jie, the Emperor and Queen of the Han Dynasty. Please take me with you to meet Liu Ke, the King of Chu."

    "What! Queen!" Lu Bu was startled, hurriedly stopped the red rabbit horse, and looked at Cao Jie suspiciously.

    Originally, the old woman in the tea shed was not knowledgeable. She just thought Cao Jie was dressed luxuriously and didn't care too much.  But Lu Bu had stayed in the palace before, and he recognized what Cao Jie was wearing at a glance.

    "Wearing Zhai clothes, a jade crown on your head, knee-high boots, and a jade leather belt, you have clear layers and bright colors! You are truly the emperor and queen!"

    Lu Bu gave a general introduction to Cao Jie's imperial uniform from head to toe in one breath. Cao Jie was also surprised. After all, someone who understands royal clothing so well is by no means an ordinary person.

    I couldn¡¯t help but ask; ¡°The general also recognizes royal costumes?¡±

    Lu Bu chuckled and said, "I just have some understanding. Since you are the emperor and queen, I will take you to see the king."

    While talking, Lu Bu ordered someone to find a carriage and asked Cao Jie to get on the carriage. Lu Bu immediately personally escorted Cao Jie all the way to Xinzheng.

    The reason why he did this was because Lu Bu knew that when the majestic Emperor and Queen left the palace alone and came to see Liu Ke, there must be something extremely important. Otherwise, why would a queen be willing to take risks?

    Lu Bu still has this bit of common sense, and he is not completely foolhardy.

    With Lu Bu, the famous god of death, escorting them, they arrived in Xinzheng in only a short time.

    At this moment, Liu Ke was discussing the military situation with his ministers. Suddenly, a sergeant came to report that Lu Bu wanted to see him.

    "Feng ?Shouldn't it be in Pingyin?  Why did you come back suddenly?  A trace of doubt flashed in Liu Ke's eyes, and he immediately said, "Let him come in."  "

    Afterwards, Lu Bu came in with Cao Jie and said, "L¨¹ Bu pays homage to the king."

    "Get up, Fengxian. Huh? Who is this?" Liu Ke gave Lu Bu a helpless hand, and his eyes fell on Cao Jie beside him.

    Just as Lu Bu was about to explain something, Cao Jie said himself: "Cao Jie, the Emperor and Queen of the Han Dynasty, pays homage to the King of Chu!"

    "Please get up." Liu Ke didn't hear Cao Jie's words clearly at first. After he blurted them out, he realized what he was saying. His eyes were as big as copper bells and he said in shock, "You said you are the Emperor and Queen Cao Jie?"

    Cao Jie is neither humble nor arrogant, "It is me."

    After Liu Ke confirmed this fact, he began to look at the queen in front of him carefully, and asked a little strangely: "Since you are the emperor's queen, don't you know that Gu is attacking Luoyang? What is your purpose of coming to see Gu at this time?"  "

    "It's to give something to the King of Chu." Cao Jie slowly took out a roll of bright yellow silk from his sleeve and handed it to Liu Ke.

    Zhuge Liang and others, who were watching silently, recognized at a glance that the piece of silk was specially used to write imperial edicts, and they all speculated on the content inside.

    "If Liu Xie issued an edict to condemn Liu Ke, there is no need for the queen to deliver the edict in person.  But if it¡¯s not condemnation, what is it?

    Liu Ke reached out to take the silk cloth, opened it, and his expression changed from the initial calm to joy.

    He murmured to himself, "I'm really sleepy. Give me a pillow, God help me!"

    Looking up at Cao Jie, Liu Xiaoxiao said: "Queen, thank you for your hard work along the way. Come, please help the queen to rest quickly and treat her well!"

    Cao Jie shook his head and said, "Thank you very much, King Chu, for your kindness. However, I also want to ask you something, King Chu."

    "Queen, please speak."

    "I dare to ask King Chu, after His Majesty abdicates the throne to you, will you do anything bad to His Majesty?" Cao Jie looked directly into Liu Ke's eyes and asked word for word.

    And Cao Jie¡¯s words also shocked the hearts of others present.

    Zhuge Liang and others secretly thought that it turned out to be a Zen edict. It seemed that Liu Xie couldn't stand Cao Cao's dictatorship anymore, but that was fine. With Liu Xie's abdication edict, the king could declare himself emperor in an upright manner.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
