The strongest devouring system in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 508 An Inextricable Situation

Yang Xiaoqian's words grew increasingly cold. Now, Yang Xiaoqian was already reckless, because she didn't believe at all that Zhang Xingchen would kill her.

Chen Er now knew it was his turn to step in. In fact, the Emperor and Zhang Xingchen had been embroiled in a bitter feud over this woman.

Although the Emperor didn't take Zhang Xingchen seriously, Zhang Xingchen's sudden betrayal made Chen Er very unhappy. Chen Er felt that Yang Xiaoqian's choice was actually not wrong.

Which woman doesn't dream of rising to the top? But someone with Zhang Xingchen's personality will end up with nothing.

Otherwise, Chen Er would never have made such a suggestion as the Emperor last time; it was just a matter of waiting until this time to complete it, perhaps during the morning court session tomorrow.

Then he began to implement his plan. Chen Er wanted to hand over all the war power to Zhang Shaoqing, who was originally the Minister of War.

If Wei Zhongxian doesn't hand over the Eastern Depot, then Chen Er will use this crime to uproot Wei Zhongxian completely, although thinking about it is a bit far-fetched.

After all, Wei Zhongxian's power was too great, and it was impossible to eradicate him completely in a short period of time.

However, even if Chen Er cannot kill Wei Zhongxian, he will still cause Wei Zhongxian considerable trouble. Therefore, the most important thing right now is to deal with Yang Xiaoqian.

"Zhang Xingchen, did you see that? This is Yang Xiaoqian's true colors. You can decide what punishment you want to give Yang Xiaoqian."

Chen Er's appearance immediately made Yang Xiaoqian understand. Just like Yang Xiaoqian had just said, after Chen Er met Zhang Xingchen, Zhang Xingchen no longer had any opinions of his own.

They obeyed Chen Er's every command, as if they were Chen Er's puppets. Now Chen Er had shown them this method.

It was Chen Er's idea that made Yang Xiaoqian laugh, and she gave Chen Er a thumbs up.

"Lord Chen Er, you are truly too cunning. Did you orchestrate this whole thing? I knew it! The Emperor and Zhang Xingchen could never have come up with such a perfect plan."

"I never imagined I'd end up falling into your hands. I accept it." Yang Xiaoqian now knew the price she would face.

Even if he didn't die, he would probably spend the rest of his life in the imperial prison, Zhang Xingchen hesitated for a moment, then looked at the emperor and said.

"Your Majesty, I was just confused and colluded with the Empress Dowager. I hope you won't take it to heart."

Zhang Xingchen's words immediately surprised the Emperor, who almost cursed and even considered killing Zhang Xingchen.

However, at this critical juncture, before Zhang Xingchen has fully relinquished his command of the army, the Emperor is unlikely to turn against Zhang Xingchen.

Chen Er would hand Yang Xiaoqian over to Zhang Xingchen, and then Zhang Xingchen's resentment would be resolved.

Zhang Xingchen would not join forces with the Empress Dowager to oppose the Emperor. This might be a turning point for both of them, so the Emperor was not stupid and naturally gave Zhang Xingchen this opportunity.

Zhang Xingchen smiled and said, "I beg Your Majesty to spare Yang Xiaoqian and to strip her of her status as a concubine, so that this girl can fend for herself."

Zhang Xingchen said coldly. Yang Xiaoqian hadn't expected Zhang Xingchen to be so ruthless. She felt like she was dreaming.

She was on the verge of becoming a phoenix on a branch, but now Zhang Xingchen is actually asking the emperor to revoke her status as a concubine.

To be left to fend for oneself is worse than death itself; Yang Xiaoqian's teeth were practically grinding to powder.

"Zhang Xingchen, you've gone too far! How can you be so heartless? Do you think you're happy just because I'm suffering?"

Yang Xiaoqian's words immediately made Zhang Xingchen roar to the sky, and he slapped his thigh.

"That's right. Dealing with a vicious woman like you, I feel very comfortable as long as you have a bad day. Anyway, you are now at my disposal, and no one can help you."

Actually, there was one more thing Zhang Xingchen didn't say: he wanted to sell Yang Xiaoqian to the Qingge Academy so that more men would know how disgusting this woman was.

However, Zhang Xingchen did not do that, because after all, the two of them had grown up together since childhood, and doing so would be too malicious.

In fact, Zhang Xingchen did not know that such punishment was many times more painful for Yang Xiaoqian than being killed. Zhang Xingchen's actions made Chen Er very unhappy.

In fact, Chen Er understood that Zhang Xingchen intended to torment Yang Xiaoqian in this way. How had Zhang Xingchen changed? In Chen Er's eyes, Zhang Xingchen was an honest and kind person.

How could things have changed so much? But after thinking about it carefully, Chen Er understood. A person can change so drastically with the environment.

Yang Xiaoqian walked out in a daze, and no one knew what she had gone through.

Only Chen Er understood that he was about to have some trouble. To put it bluntly, as long as Zhang Xingchen didn't act arrogantly with the Empress Dowager...

If the emperor did not collude with Wei Zhongxian, then with the help of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, he could at least somewhat counter Wei Zhongxian's power.

Zhang Xingchen helped the Emperor instead of the Empress Dowager, so he can turn the tide today.

But Chen Er wasn't stupid. He knew perfectly well that the Emperor already regarded Zhang Xingchen as a thorn in his side.

What Zhang Xingchen did today was far from satisfactory, but now that it has already happened, the only thing Chen Er can do is help Zhang Xingchen escape this fate.

If the Emperor were to ever harm Zhang Xingchen, Chen Er would certainly not agree. Suddenly, Chen Er thought of something and called Ma Dazhi aside.

"Why don't you take some men and kill Yang Xiaoqian? That would be fair to this woman. Otherwise, I can't imagine what other bad things Zhang Xingchen might do?"

In fact, Chen Er had another reason for doing this: he was afraid that Yang Xiaoqian would be used by Wei Zhongxian.

Yang Xiaoqian now feels nothing but hatred for Chen Er. She wishes she could eat his flesh and drink his blood. So, forced by circumstances, Chen Er had no choice but to strike first.
