The strongest devouring system in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 522 Reform your past

"Oh dear, the Empress Dowager is furious. Before you arrived today, everyone was drunk. No one is perfect and makes mistakes in life, so let's give Chen Er another chance to reform."

When Wei Zhongxian spoke, the Empress Dowager's face, which had been contorted with rage, softened upon hearing his words, as if she had become several years younger.

"Since Xiao Wei has said so, I will let you off this time. I don't want this to happen again, otherwise I will definitely not spare you, do you hear me?" After the Empress Dowager finished speaking, she didn't even look at Chen Er and walked towards the table.

The Empress Dowager thought to herself, "This is so disappointing! I haven't even arrived yet, why are they calling for the banquet to begin? I haven't eaten yet, I just wanted to come here to eat." But Zhang Xingchen wasn't stupid, and immediately ordered the restaurant to prepare another table of dishes.

Chen Er knew that this place was not a good place to stay for long. If he continued to stay here, he might get into trouble. So Chen Er bowed to the Empress Dowager.

"Empress Dowager, I just returned from the Jiangnan region and haven't spent much time with my wife in a long time. You know we're still young, you understand." Chen Er finished speaking and was about to leave when the Empress Dowager and Wei Zhongxian exchanged a glance. The Empress Dowager immediately said...

"Wait, I still have questions for you. What exactly happened to Ma Tiantao? No matter what, Ma Tiantao is a member of the Eastern Depot. You beat him so badly, shouldn't you give me an explanation?"

After the Empress Dowager finished speaking, she turned her gaze to Zhang Xingchen.

"Zhang Xingchen, you're really something. Ma Tiantao is your subordinate, after all. Are you just going to watch others suffer while your own men are beaten so badly? How are you going to lead the warriors in the future?"

The Empress Dowager's words caused Zhang Xingchen's expression to change.

Zhang Xingchen hadn't expected Wei Zhongxian to be so cunning. It was a good thing that Ma Tiantao had been beaten. Actually, despite Zhang Xingchen's current seemingly glamorous appearance, he knew that Ma Tiantao was nothing but a scoundrel who was difficult to deal with and hard to discipline.

Moreover, Zhang Xingchen was very clear that with Ma Tiantao around, the day he could completely take control of the Eastern Depot was nowhere in sight. This was why Wei Zhongxian was willing to entrust the Eastern Depot to Zhang Xingchen.

Although Zhang Xingchen was not convinced, he still did a good job on the surface. Zhang Xingchen hugged Ma Tiantao, whose head had been beaten into a pig's head, and said.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I'm making this clear today: anyone who dares to touch Ma Tiantao will be doing me a disservice. Even when beating a dog, one must consider its owner." Zhang Xingchen's words were so harsh that they almost made Ma Tiantao cry.

Good heavens, even when beating a dog, you have to consider its owner. Isn't this just describing himself as a dog? Ma Tiantao admits that he is Wei Zhongxian's dog.

However, Ma Tiantao would never admit that he was Zhang Xingchen's dog. After all, Wei Zhongxian had the right to make Ma Tiantao his dog, but Zhang Xingchen did not.

But since Zhang Xingchen had already said so, Ma Tiantao couldn't refute him. So Ma Tiantao and Wei Zhongxian faced off. Ma Tiantao saw Wei Zhongxian nod, and Ma Tiantao stopped talking. Only then did Chen Er reveal a faint smile.

"Ma Tiantao flirted with my wife in front of so many people, why can't I do anything about him? Then let me ask you, did you have a concubine in the past who tried to steal the emperor's bed from you? How did you treat that concubine back then?"

The Empress Dowager had just taken a sip of wine and almost vomited. She hadn't expected Chen Er to be so knowledgeable about history. Chen Er was so eloquent, almost like a girl. Helpless, the Empress Dowager turned around and waved.

"Didn't you say you and Qin Luoshen haven't seen each other for a long time? Hurry up and go home to spend time together. I don't want to see you for even a second. Get out of here right now."

Qin Luoshen felt that this man was not like a real man at all. How could he be captured so tightly by the Empress Dowager? He had no ability to resist at all. Chen Er smiled calmly when he heard Qin Luoshen's words.

"Qin Luoshen, you go back first. I need to see the Emperor later to discuss an important matter." Chen Er thought for a moment and then spoke his mind. Qin Luoshen became a little nervous.

"Chen Er, what's wrong with you? You don't love me anymore, do you? We just came back from Jiangnan. We haven't even had a chance to spend some quality time together yet, and now you're going to go find the Emperor? Why don't you go live with the Emperor instead?"

Qin Luoshen was really angry.

Qin Luoshen never expected that Chen Er would be so unhelpful. He had just returned from the Jiangnan area and was already going to find the Emperor. Didn't he miss her at all?

Actually, Chen Er also felt a little sorry for Qin Luoshen, but no matter what, a man should prioritize his career.

Besides, he had to consult the Emperor for a solution. Chen Er's biggest fear now was not Wei Zhongxian, but that the Empress Dowager would be used by Wei Zhongxian.

When they used them as weapons to attack him, just as Chen Er was about to explain, two more people came out, which surprised Chen Er.

Because the people who came out were none other than Zhang Shaoqing, Situ Minyue, and his father Zhang Shaoqing. At this moment, the two of them were also filled with resentment and indignation.

"Chen Er, don't take it too seriously. That's just how the Empress Dowager is. You'll get used to it eventually." Zhang Shaoqing's words made Chen Er very embarrassed.

“I say, Lord Zhang Shaoqing, you shouldn’t have come out. Your appearance already shows your attitude: you’re going against the Empress Dowager. This woman might be a little more wary of me, but it’s a different story when she’s dealing with you.”

Chen Er looked at Zhang Shaoqing very seriously and said.

In fact, Chen Er was right. Now Chen Er is a favorite of the Emperor. If the Empress Dowager wants to deal with Chen Er, she has to think twice. But then again, the Empress Dowager doesn't need to consider Zhang Shaoqing's words at all.

Although Zhang Shaoqing now appears to be the Minister of War, he actually has no ability to resist at all. Zhang Shaoqing smiled and said dismissively.

"Chen Er, I'm already an old man. If the Empress Dowager wants to touch me, then let her do it. People just die sooner or later. There's no way I can stand on the side of these bad people."

Zhang Shaoqing's words immediately caused Situ Minyue's brows to furrow into a deep frown.

Situ Minyue was almost in tears from fright: "Father, please don't scare me! No matter how unafraid you are of the Empress Dowager, you should still think about me. Otherwise, how can I survive in this world all by myself?"
