Chapter 10: Carrot and Stick (2), Section 35

  At the same time, Emperor Xian of Han, Liu Xie, had just woken up and was having a drinking contest with Ding Yi in the afternoon. He got extremely drunk and couldn't even tell directions apart. Luckily, Xiao Yu carried him on his back to bring him back to the palace.

  At this moment, Emperor Xian of Han only felt a splitting headache, and Li Chen timely presented a cup of ginseng tea. Emperor Xian drank it all in one breath, and only after a while did he feel much better, complaining: "That eunuch Zheng Ping can also drink, and he got me drunk like this!"

  Li Chen laughed and said: "That Ze Ping didn't get a good deal either, if it weren't for Xiao Da taking him back to Kong's mansion, I'm afraid he'd still be in the tavern now!"

  Liu Xie listened and also smiled: "So it's good!" Then he asked: "What about the Empress?"

  Li Chen replied: "The empress has been guarding the emperor for two hours, I saw that Your Majesty was tired, so I asked you to return to the palace and rest!"

  Liu Xie nodded, after all, a sensible slave, but unfortunately, he was Cao Cao's man. Thinking of this, his heart sank. If he could pull him and Song Jiu into his own camp, he would be able to shake off half of Cao Cao's control, making it more convenient for himself to act, and he could use these two men to help him get out of the palace and meet with Yang Bi. In that case, he would have a greater chance of winning. So he secretly calculated, but no matter how he thought about it, the chances of successfully pulling them over were only half of half. However, this matter should not be delayed, even if things failed, Cao Cao would not kill him, Dong Cheng had done such a big thing and he didn't move the emperor, so Liu Xie thought he wouldn't have any problems either. Since he had made up his mind, Liu Xie decided to act immediately, so he ordered Li Chen: "Go to the imperial doctor's place and get me a bottle of the best golden wound medicine!"

  Li Chen left as ordered, Liu Xie secretly praised him. He didn't ask unnecessary questions and Li Chen was indeed a reliable assistant. After seeing him leave, he pondered the details of how to win over the two men again, and before he knew it, time had passed. It wasn't until Li Chen brought back the golden elixir that Liu Xie came to his senses and sighed, "You take this golden elixir to Song Jiu!"

  Li Chen hastily knelt down: "Your humble servant will thank Your Majesty on behalf of Song Jiu!"

  Liu Xie smiled and said, "Get up!" After finishing, his face turned solemn, staring at Li Chen: "You go back and tell Song Jiu that I know everything about your affairs. The 50 big boards this morning were also unavoidable for me. Let him think carefully before acting in the future. If there's anything unclear, I'll be waiting for him here!

  Li Chen felt a chill, although Liu Xie's words were ambiguous, he understood them clearly, but the meaning behind what Liu Xie was telling him he didn't understand. He was momentarily stunned, unsure of how to respond.
