The strongest devouring system in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 440 Sorry

The Emperor then said apologetically, "I am truly sorry, but Yang Xiaoqian really does resemble my deceased beloved concubine."

The Emperor spoke calmly, but he did not hide his anger towards Chen Er. If Chen Er had not intervened, the Emperor might have done something even more outrageous.

The Emperor's words immediately surprised Chen Er. Chen Er had originally wanted the Emperor to return to the palace to rest, but the Emperor refused.

"Chen Er, I haven't had enough to drink yet. Besides, today is a special day, so we have to drink to our hearts' content."

After the Emperor finished speaking, he picked up the Daughter Red wine and poured it down his throat. Qin Luoshen was terrified by the Emperor's actions.

Qin Luoshen tugged at Yang Xiaoqian's clothes: "Yang Xiaoqian, why don't you go to my room now? It's not appropriate for you to be here right now."

Qin Luoshen gave Yang Xiaoqian a very tactful reminder.

The Emperor's eyes went blank, and he walked towards Yang Xiaoqian. At this moment, Qin Luoshen was a little scared.

However, the thought of Yang Xiaoqian being bullied by the Emperor made Qin Luoshen a little angry, and she immediately stood in front of Yang Xiaoqian.

"Your Majesty, have you had too much to drink today? Besides, didn't you come here to congratulate Chen Er? What you're doing is a bit inappropriate."

Qin Luoshen's words also implied another meaning: today's matter is now under your control, otherwise Yang Xiaoqian will have something happen to her at home.

Then Chen Er will have no way to explain to Zhang Xingchen. At this moment, is the Emperor really drunk or just pretending? The Emperor looks into Qin Luoshen's eyes as if he is seeing his beloved concubine.

After the Emperor finished speaking, he reached out to grab Qin Luoshen's arm. Just then, with a loud bang, Chen Er suddenly slammed his hand on the table and stood up. The sound of Chen Er slamming his hand on the table was very loud.

This shows the force contained in a slap; it shattered a table into several pieces, startling everyone present. Some people simply couldn't imagine what it was like.

Chen Er actually smashed a table in front of the Emperor. Wouldn't Chen Er die a terrible death? The Emperor's body trembled suddenly.

Before the emperor could even speak, a eunuch beside him, his eyes red, began to reprimand Chen Er.

"What's wrong, Chen Er? Did you use your wings so quickly? Didn't you just rise from a first-rank official to a second-rank official?"

"Since you have been so presumptuous in front of the Emperor, what is your punishment?" The eunuch's voice turned icy cold, as if the temperature of the surrounding air had dropped several times over.

Chen Er suddenly laughed, a malicious laugh that sent a chill down the eunuch's spine. The eunuch involuntarily took several steps back. Chen Er walked indifferently toward the emperor, who was still holding Qin Luoshen's hand. The emperor looked at Chen Er with a bewildered expression.

"Chen Er, what's wrong? Don't you want your beloved concubine to be with me anymore? Let me tell you, Chen Er, I can demote you from a first-rank official to a second-rank official, and then I can take off this dog skin you're wearing. Do you believe me?"

The Emperor's words, spoken in a drunken state, immediately caused Chen Er to furrow his brows.

Chen Er grabbed the emperor's collar and lifted him up like an eagle snatching a chick. Chen Er's action immediately startled the eunuchs, who had originally intended to fight back, as these eunuchs were all former martial arts masters.

They had all been granted amnesty by the Emperor. Zhang Xingchen saw several eunuchs about to make a move. A surge of anger rose within Zhang Xingchen, and he immediately blocked the eunuchs' path with a cold smile.

"What are you all doing? Do you want to fight?" Although Zhang Xingchen didn't dare to do anything to the Emperor, he had already vented all his anger on these eunuchs.

Seeing that Zhang Xingchen of the Embroidered Uniform Guard had spoken, the eunuchs, who were quite a distance away, followed behind Chen Er.

At this moment, Chen Er dragged the emperor into his room and closed the door. The emperor, who was no longer in a daze, grabbed a cup on the table and kept pouring water into his cup.

"Your Majesty, tell me, what did you mean just now? Are you really interested in Yang Xiaoqian? Or are you planning to make a move on Zhang Xingchen?"

Chen Er's words were so cold that the emperor, who was drinking water, suddenly crushed the wine cup in his hand.

The Emperor then laughed heartily. He sat calmly in a chair, while Han Zhang crossed his legs. He no longer had the same demeanor he had just displayed; instead, he seemed a bit temperamental. The Emperor sighed and involuntarily gave Chen Er a thumbs up.

"Chen Er, this is why I have high hopes for you. You know the saying, 'The younger generation surpasses the older generation,' and you'll be swept away by the next wave. Haven't you heard that before?"

The Emperor's words clearly implied that he wanted Zhang Xingchen to step down and instead wanted to promote Chen Er to the position.

After all, Zhang Xingchen is now the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, and the emperor has no choice but to do so. Zhang Xingchen is a reckless and impulsive man; to put it bluntly, he's all muscle and no brains.

It might be acceptable to impress ordinary officials on a normal day, but if the emperor were to place all his bets on Zhang Xingchen, it would be utterly absurd.

However, the Emperor did lose his composure at that moment, after all, Yang Xiaoqian looked quite like his beloved concubine. The reason the Emperor ultimately mistook Qin Luoshen for his beloved concubine was actually due to another deeper meaning: he wanted to tell Chen Er not to interfere in this matter.

What the Emperor didn't expect was that although Chen Er and Zhang Xingchen hadn't known each other for long, Chen Er truly regarded Zhang Xingchen as his own elder brother from the bottom of his heart.

Therefore, Chen Er had no choice but to get involved in this matter. Chen Er had already figured it out: the Emperor was not drunk at all; he just wanted to use Yang Xiaoqian to make trouble for Zhang Xingchen.

“Your Majesty, I feel that what you did was indeed a bit too much. You absolutely cannot touch Zhang Xingchen. Although I am also very interested in the Embroidered Uniform Guard, if you want me to climb to the top by stepping on my brother’s head, I would rather not take this second-rank position.”

Chen Er said something domineering and powerful.

The Emperor immediately made a shushing gesture: "Chen Er, are you trying to kill me? You're different from everyone else!"
