The most poisonous person in the Three Kingdoms, Boss Cao advised me to calm down!

Chapter 450 Cao Cao's Sudden Test

And Liu Xie faced Sima De's urging.

His eyes were also fixed on the sword in front of him, and his expression was unpredictable.

At that moment, he almost reached out to grab the sword.

Use this sword to slash the traitor's henchman who is pressing forward step by step;

Or simply use this sword to end your miserable life.

However, just as these thoughts flashed through my mind.

But he found that he didn't even dare to move.

The courage to die was nothing but his powerless fantasy.

He didn't dare to kill Sima De, nor did he have the courage to commit suicide in front of everyone.

So, after a long silence.

Liu Xie was suddenly drenched in cold sweat and stood there in a daze.

Beads of sweat silently slid down his cheeks.

His heart was full of hatred at this moment.

I hate my weakness, and I hate my incompetence even more.

Even something like this that can be done with just a wave of the hand, I dare not make a decision lightly!
Looking at Liu Xie who was staring at him motionlessly.

Sima De, who had expected this result, snorted coldly at this time.

Put the Yitian Sword back into the scabbard at your waist.

"Since Your Majesty doesn't have the guts to kill anyone, why bother showing off your prowess?"

"If Your Majesty really dares to stab me with a sword."

"Today I want to look up to Your Majesty a little more!"

"However, since I cannot become a great ruler like Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty."

"Then what's wrong with following the example of Gou Jian, King of Yue, and enduring humiliation and bearing heavy burdens?"

"As for the Queen..."

Sima De also curled up a sneer at this time.

"When Li Jue and Guo Si were in turmoil in Chang'an, you abandoned Prime Minister Wang Yun."

"In the fourth year of Jian'an, the secret edict was issued."

"You have also abandoned General Dong Cheng, Prince Fu, and the noble lady Dong..."

"Now, it's just giving up another queen, why is it so difficult to give up?"

"In the future, you will have a new queen, right?"

Afterwards, he just stood there, ignoring Liu Xie's face full of shame and anger.

Walk forward with confidence.

He captured Empress Fu Shou, who was hiding behind the emperor.

"My lady, do you understand now?"

"This Emperor cannot protect you today!"

"Come with me for a while!"

After saying this, he ignored Empress Fu's struggle.

He forcibly pulled her out from behind Liu Xie.

Perhaps because she used too much force, Empress Fu staggered and fell to the ground.

This scene made Liu Xie feel angry again.

But when he caught a glimpse of Cao Zhang, who was standing beside Sima De with a fierce look in his eyes.

Most of the anger and resentment were extinguished in an instant!
Sima De didn't care much about Fu Shou who fell to the ground unexpectedly.

Instead, he turned around and ordered Xi Lu and the guards:
"Take this girl away!"

After he finished speaking, Sima De also bowed to Emperor Liu Xie.

"Your Majesty, please take a good rest."

"I'm waiting to retire."

After saying that, he took Cao Zhang and left.

And Liu Xie was the emperor.

I could only watch my loved ones being taken away.

But he dared not say a word.

Wait until the sound of footsteps gradually fades away in the wind.

When Liu Xie came back to his senses, the hall was empty.

Sima De and his queen had long since disappeared without a trace.

The Emperor of the Han Dynasty was gazing at the palace which had suddenly become empty and cold.

For a moment, I felt heartbroken.

Thinking of the shame of being unable to protect his wife just now.

All the grievances in my heart turned into tears and rolled down my cheeks.

In the end, he held his head and cried bitterly.

In this empty Yangle Palace, his crying sounded particularly sad.

On the other side, the bloody incident at Xishikou came to an end in broad daylight.

Xudu seemed to have returned to its former tranquility.

However - this is only an illusion on the surface.

Cao Cao's former Prime Minister's Mansion. At this time, undercurrents were surging in the study.

Cao Cao's eyes were as sharp as torches as he gazed deeply at Cao Zhang and Sima De who had just returned from the imperial palace.

Listen to the two men's report on how they captured Queen Fu Shou and brought him to justice.

There was a complex mix of emotions on Cao Cao's face.

At this time, he also casually sent his son Cao Zhang away.

Only Sima De was left sitting opposite him in the study.

At this time, Cao Cao looked into the eyes of this virtuous son-in-law and good minister.

There is not only admiration, but also some subtle doubts and suspicions.

Cao Cao also said in a deep voice at this time:
"Renda, you did a really good job on this matter."

"But isn't it a bit reckless to threaten the emperor like this?!"

Although his words sounded like a reprimand.

But the tone contained a warning.

The implication was to warn Sima De.

You took it upon yourself to coerce the emperor. Aren't you taking over the reins of power?

When Sima De heard this, he immediately showed an expression of panic.

He quickly said, "Father-in-law!"

"My son-in-law, my minister."

He paused, as if searching for the right words.

"It was really a desperate situation at the time, so I resorted to this desperate measure."

"I just realized afterwards that I had indeed overstepped my authority. I beg you to punish me!"

His tone was resolute, as if he wanted to alleviate the guilt in his heart.

Upon hearing this, Cao Cao curled up his lips into a bitter smile, full of helplessness.

Since Sima De has said this.

There was no need for him to delve into the matter of Sima De threatening the emperor with a sword.

After all, he himself had done things like scaring the emperor many times.

Besides, Sima De did not let things get out of control.

Instead, the matter was brought to a dignified end.

Thinking of this, Cao Cao could only sigh in his heart.

The Sima family in Henei is indeed a place of outstanding people and beautiful scenery.

Not to mention his virtuous son-in-law, there are his brothers.

There is not even one mediocre fool out there.

Especially their second son, Sima Yi.

Thinking of this, Cao Cao's face became serious and he said:

"It has come to this, just handle it properly."

"I don't blame you."

"You did this to protect Ziwen."

There is unquestionable power in Cao Cao's words.

"After all, you took the initiative to do something that deceives the emperor."

“It certainly doesn’t give you a good reputation.”

After saying this, his sharp gaze penetrated Cao Ju's soul.

In response to Cao Cao's sympathy, Sima De nodded repeatedly.

"I don't dare to take credit for it. I just helped my father-in-law to share his worries."

Seeing Sima De showing due obedience.

Cao Cao also nodded, his tone slightly tired:
"Well, you've been busy all day."

"I won't make it difficult for you anymore"

Sima De responded respectfully upon hearing this:
"Yes, father-in-law should also go to bed early."

"Then the son-in-law will go first..."

However, just when it was time to leave.

Cao Cao suddenly asked:
"Are you aware of the theft of Zijian's token?"

Although his voice was calm, it revealed an authority that could not be ignored.

It sounded like thunder in Sima De's ears!

This immediately made Sima De's heart jump!
Today he also shook his head and denied it:
"Father-in-law is very observant! I don't know about it at this time."

But Cao Cao was obviously not satisfied with his answer.

His eyes were still as sharp as knives as he examined Sima De.

That gaze seemed to penetrate Cao Ju's back and see through his heart!
At this moment, the air seemed to freeze.

In response to Cao Cao's question, Sima De's breathing suddenly became rapid.

For a moment, his back tensed and he tried to suppress the panic in his heart.

He said calmly, "Father-in-law! If the assassination attempt last night."

"I am involved with my son-in-law..."

"Then why should I follow Ziwen and sacrifice myself to protect the emperor?"
