Summary of the previous chapter: Emperor Liu Xie suddenly summoned Ma Xiaoquan, which puzzled Ma Xiaoquan. But before Ma Xiaoquan left, Lu Xian came to Xudu and met Han Xian Emperor Liu Xie...
At the beginning of the 19th year of Jian'an, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, Ma Xiaoquan arrived in Xudu.
Before that, Lu Xian and Liu discussed a strategy to retain Ma Xiaoquan, which was to force Ma Xiaoquan to temporarily stay in Xudu on the grounds that the emperor suddenly fell ill.
Ma Xiaoquan did not know this.
When Ma Xiaoquan was about to enter the palace to meet Liu Xie, the eunuch in the palace informed Ma Xiaoquan that the emperor was ill, and that the illness was not serious. He was afraid that the Immortal Marquis would have to wait for a while.
Ma Xiaoquan was a little unhappy. If the emperor could not afford to be ill for a few months, then why should he wait for a few months?
Before going out, Ma Xiaoquan told Hua Yuexin that it would be no big deal and he would be back in six or seven days at most. He is fine now. The little emperor is sick.
After staying for five days in a row, Ma Xiaoquan went to the palace every day to "say hello", but he could not enter the palace every time. As time went by, Ma Xiaoquan became a little suspicious.
At this time, in the palace, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was discussing the next step with Lu Xian.
The two of them understood that such procrastination would definitely arouse Ma Xiaoquan's suspicion, so they took the next step.
On the sixth day, Ma Xiaoquan continued to see the emperor.
A eunuch walked out of the inner palace with his hips twisted. When he saw Ma Xiaoquan, little stars appeared in his eyes.
"Ouch, ouch, it's the Immortal Marquis. Hmm, the Immortal Marquis is so good."
Ma Xiaoquan looked at the eunuch's raised orchid finger, frowned slightly, and said with a smile: "Oh, Eunuch Li, how is the emperor's condition?"
The eunuch named Li winked at Ma Xiaoquan, causing Ma Xiaoquan to instantly get goosebumps all over his body.
"Dear Immortal Marquis, oh my Immortal Marquis, the Emperor invites you in..."
As Eunuch Li spoke, he twisted his hips and walked forward, reaching out his hand to touch Ma Xiaoquan's back.
Ma Xiaoquan was frightened and jumped back instinctively.
"Ouch, Mr. Hou is really annoying. If people want to touch Mr. Hou's majestic back, they won't touch him, huh."
Eunuch Li lightly stamped his foot, pouted and looked at Ma Xiaoquan reluctantly.
Eunuch Li's appearance is really bad, and he is not small. If compared with Ma Xiaoquan's height of 1.78 meters, Eunuch Li looks like 1.76 meters.
Even a god would probably not be able to stand such a hermaphrodite pouting and stomping her feet to act coquettishly at Ma Xiaoquan.
Ma Xiaoquan said anxiously: "Okay, Eunuch Li, I'm going in right now."
Eunuch Li did not give up. The moment Ma Xiaoquan passed by him, Eunuch Li grabbed Ma Xiaoquan's shoulder.
"I'll fight." Ma Xiaoquan had no choice but to kick Eunuch Li to the ground.
Ma Xiaoquan's kick was very measured and he just kicked him over without causing any injury. I thought Eunuch Li would restrain himself, but he didn't expect that he would lie on the ground with his arms stretched out and whispered: "Master Marquis, come on.
."
Ma Xiaoquan was sweating profusely in an instant. How could he dare to provoke this "great god" again? Well, if we can't afford to offend him, we can hide, right?
...
After trotting into the palace, Ma Xiaoquan looked back several times to make sure that Eunuch Li was not following, and then he slowly slowed down.
The palace in Xudu was very large and had many small roads. This design was also the intention of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty. In the words of the emperor, if an assassin entered the palace to assassinate him, he would get lost and die...
Ma Xiaoquan originally didn't have a strong sense of direction, and he ran in a hurry just now. Now...he himself doesn't know where he is in the palace.
Loud noises are prohibited in the palace. As a minister of the current court, the Immortal Marquis, Ma Xiaoquan does not dare to act arbitrarily. Although in his other capacity as the Immortal Lord, Ma Xiaoquan can completely ignore such rules, but for the sake of his family and his family.
For future development, Ma Xiaoquan still has to abide by the rules of this era.
"Hey, let's look for it first. The emperor's room should be in a larger room. Hmm..."
...
Emperor Liu Xie waited for the incense stick in his largest study. He became a little unhappy and asked an eunuch next to him: "Why has Eunuch Li gone out to invite the Immortal Marquis and he hasn't come back yet?"
Just as the eunuch was about to answer, Eunuch Li ran in with his hips twisted. When he saw Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, he fell to his knees on the ground and began to cry.
Eunuch Li has been serving Liu Xie since he was very young. Although Liu Xie is sometimes dissatisfied with Eunuch Li's "some relationship", in view of Eunuch Li's unwavering loyalty, Liu Xie still treats Eunuch Li
It opens one eye and closes the other.
"What's wrong?"
Eunuch Li frowned and opened his mouth: "Your Majesty, I brought your words to Shenxianhou, but Shenxianhou didn't appreciate it and beat me, wuwuwu... Your Majesty, you have to make the decision for me, Old Li Zi."
ah......"
"Okay!" Liu Xie said impatiently, "Why didn't I see anyone when you brought your message?"
"Ah? This..."
Beside Liu Xie, Lu Xian drank tea leisurely and said slowly: "Your Majesty, since the Immortal Marquis has arrived in the palace, we should be prepared, right?"
Liu Xie nodded: "Well, Lu Daxian, what should you do?"
Lu Xian smiled and said: "Me? Your Majesty, you can set up a screen. I will hide behind the screen. As for you, Your Majesty, you have to continue to pretend to be sick."
Liu Xie smiled and said: "That's no problem. Someone, come here and bring a screen..."
Just as Liu Xie and others were getting ready, Ma Xiaoquan came to the door.
Seeing Liu Xie lying on the rest bed in the study, Ma Xiaoquan was a little surprised and said: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"
Liu Xie looked at Ma Xiaoquan with a groan and said, "Uncle, I've been infected with cold recently... Uh, I'm very uncomfortable."
Ma Xiaoquan didn't know medical skills, but seeing Liu Xie's discomfort, he believed it and said, "Then have a good rest. Otherwise, I will take care of you in the palace during this time."
The monarch and his ministers chatted casually for a while, and then Ma Xiaoquan left first.
As soon as Ma Xiaoquan left, Lu Xian jumped out from behind the screen.
Lu Xian suggested: "Your Majesty, I suddenly thought of a way. If you want to get rid of Cao, it is best to add Ma Xiaoquan. In this case, if the matter is exposed, Cao Cao will not dare to do anything. Your Majesty, you see
What do you think of this suggestion?"
"Huh?" When Liu Xie heard this, his heart shivered and he nodded, "Well, Lu Daxian is right. Someone, please bring me the list."
The list was presented, and Liu Xie personally wrote Ma Xiaoquan's name on it.
Liu Xie actually didn't know that all this was just Lu Xian's plan to kill three birds with one stone.
Lu Xian wanted to deal with Ma Xiaoquan and kill him. The best way was to destroy anyone and anything that Ma Xiaoquan paid attention to. Of course, in order to do it quickly, Lu Xian still chose a few important people to attack.
Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was one of these important figures.
Lu Xian's plan was to first establish a good relationship with Liu Xie, and after gaining Liu Xie's trust, he would trick Liu Xie into writing Ma Xiaoquan's name on the list to remove Cao Cao, and then he would secretly send someone to report this to Cao Cao.
.
Because of Ma Xiaoquan, Cao Cao would definitely not dare to be too violent, but from now on, the relationship between Cao Cao and Ma Xiaoquan would become unpleasant.
Later, Lu Xian sent his shadow guards to secretly kill several of Cao Cao's trusted generals, and blamed Ma Xiaoquan for the incident. By then, no matter how well-educated Cao Cao was, he would probably be furious.
After Cao Cao and Ma Xiaoquan fought, Lu Xian had the opportunity to take advantage of others' danger. At that time, everyone in the Ma family would be pawns in Lu Xian's hands, allowing him to kill and abuse him... Of course, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was a fighter.
Don't let the soy sauce guy go, let him drink two glasses of poisonous wine tonight to kill him... In this case, the blame can also be placed on Ma Xiaoquan.
...
At night, Ma Xiaoquan stayed in the palace.
Since the emperor had the queen staying with him for the night, Ma Xiaoquan was immediately assigned to a corner bedroom in the palace.
Although it is located at an angle, the bedroom is well-furnished and quite spacious.
Looking at the layout of the room, Ma Xiaoquan chuckled, jumped slightly, grabbed the beam of the house, and did pull-ups.
At this moment, the source in his left eye suddenly spoke: "Ma Xiaoquan, I feel it, I feel it..."
Ma Xiaoquan let go of his hand and jumped down, and asked in response: "What did you feel?"
"That piece of me, that piece of me is right here..."
"What?" Ma Xiaoquan's heart tightened, "So, Mr. Lu is in the palace now?"
"Yes, I can feel it. The fragment is very close to us. Ma Xiaoquan, take it back. You must take it back."
"Don't worry, even if you don't tell me, I will get it back. Hum, Mr. Lu is actually in the palace, so... can the fact that the little emperor is sick be explained as false?"
"It's possible!"
"I won't stop doing it. I'm going to find it now. Yuan, please pay attention. Once you sense the specific location, tell me immediately. I want to be the first to kill Mr. Lu!"
"OK!"
...
At this time, in another side room in the palace, Lu Xian was pouring wine for Han Xian Emperor Liu Xie.
When Liu Xie wasn't paying attention, Lu Xian mixed the poison hidden in the ring into the wine.
"Your Majesty, please drink. This wine was brewed by my master, haha..."
Liu Xie's good wine was brewed by Master Lu Daxian himself. He happily picked up the glass and drank it all. After finishing the drink, he didn't forget to give the glass of wine a "like".
"Have another drink, Your Majesty. Good things come in pairs. Well, I wish you success in getting rid of Cao, Your Majesty."
"Okay, good point, haha, come on, come on!"
Liu Xie enthusiastically picked up the second glass of wine that Lu Xian poured, brought it to his mouth, and sniffed it gently.
