The strongest devouring system in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 610 Arrogant

"Why is it that all the credit goes to you, while I have to be the sinner? But since you've spoken up, then I'll accept the sinner's role."

The Emperor was very pleased with Chen Er's words. The Emperor's meaning was actually very simple, just as Chen Er had thought: things that the Emperor did not want to do should be left to Chen Er to handle.

Even if the common people of the world were to curse the emperor, they would first curse Chen Er, this scoundrel. After thinking for a moment, Chen Er shouted something to the outside.

"Ma Dazhi and Liu Chengdong, you two come here and take the Empress Dowager away. Find a secluded place and bury her alive." Chen Er's words made the Emperor's forehead break out in a sweat.

"Chen Er, what exactly do you mean? Didn't you just say you wanted to banish the Empress Dowager to the Cold Palace? How come you've changed your mind now and want to find a place to bury her alive? Isn't that going a bit too far?"

The emperor's swallowing trembled slightly. He could tell from Chen Er's serious expression that he wasn't joking.

Chen Er smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, I have no way to banish the Empress Dowager to the Cold Palace, nor do I have the power to do so, so I can only find a place to bury the Empress Dowager alive."

That way, everything will be settled. No matter how arrogant Wei Zhongxian is, he won't be able to act arrogantly.

Everyone knows that Wei Zhongxian has remained in power for so many years and has even built up factions in the court, all because the Empress Dowager is supporting him.

If the Empress Dowager were really killed, then no matter how arrogant Wei Zhongxian was, he wouldn't be able to act so arrogantly anymore. It all depends on whether the Emperor can accept this proposal.

The Emperor immediately rejected Chen Er's idea: "Chen Er, you must not do that. What I mean is that you find a place to put the Empress Dowager under house arrest first, and don't let Wei Zhongxian find the Empress Dowager's residence first."

"Once we have complete control of the situation and have brought Wei Zhongxian down, it won't be too late to release the Empress Dowager. That's what I mean."

The Emperor explained to Chen Er that he was afraid Chen Er would act too impulsively, and Chen Er nodded.

"Chen Er, you are simply the pillar of our Ming Dynasty. From now on, you will be second only to the emperor, and no one will dare to look down on you, Chen Er."

The Emperor's words flattered Chen Er. Chen Er never believed that the higher the official rank, the safer it was; rather, the lower the rank, the more secure it was.

Because a high-ranking official is prone to attracting unwanted attention and offending people at any time, Chen Er immediately declined the offer.

"Your Majesty, what are you saying? You are the pillar of the Ming Dynasty, not me. I'll take the Empress Dowager with me now."

At Chen Er's instruction, Ma Dazhi and Liu Chengdong dragged the disheveled Empress Dowager out of the palace. It had only been half a month since they last met, but the Empress Dowager seemed to have aged considerably.

The Empress Dowager has started to have gray hair. Who would have thought that the once arrogant and domineering Empress Dowager, who didn't take the Emperor seriously, has become like this? It's truly unsettling.

The Empress Dowager looked at Chen Er with a moment of confusion, and then sneered.

"I knew it! The Emperor would never have come up with such a despicable method. It turns out it was you, you little bastard. If you have the guts, then kill me. Otherwise, when I get out, I will definitely have your entire family executed."

The Empress Dowager had become a prisoner, but the arrogance in her bones could not be washed away.

Chen Er was delighted to hear the Empress Dowager's words, while Ma Dazhi's face was extremely gloomy. He wanted to go up and beat her up, but Chen Er stopped him.

After all, the emperor was watching from a distance. Even if they were to beat her, they should find a secluded place, since she was the emperor's biological mother.

"Empress Dowager, you have really been wronged. You should be prepared to be a prisoner, otherwise you will suffer a great loss. You still think you are the high and mighty Empress Dowager you used to be."

Everyone used to give way to you, but that's no longer the case. You should look forward and not be blinded by immediate gains, or you'll regret it.

Chen Er's words greatly displeased the Empress Dowager, who sneered once again: "Chen Er, how dare you! Who gave you the authority to take me away? Where is the Emperor? I need to see him."

Because the Empress Dowager was forcibly dragged out by Ma Dazhi and Liu Chengdong, she did not see the Emperor behind her at that time.

When the Emperor heard that the Empress Dowager wanted to see him, he was like a mouse seeing a cat, and immediately hid in the corridor. The Empress Dowager searched for a long time but could not find him. Then the Emperor heard Chen Er shout domineeringly.

"Take this filthy woman away and find a safe place to lock her up for half a month. Once I've eliminated Wei Zhongxian, I'll release this crazy woman."

Chen Er's words greatly surprised the Empress Dowager. She bit her lip, her eyes red, and was about to pounce on Chen Er, but Ma Dazhi and Liu Chengdong were not to be underestimated.

Seeing that this crazy woman wanted to harm Chen Er, the two men used force to pin the Empress Dowager to the ground, and Chen Er smiled.

"Empress Dowager, you really have no self-awareness. You have no sense of self-awareness at all. If I don't skin you alive later, I'm not Chen Er."

Chen Er has always been a man who takes revenge for his words. He still remembers the attitude the former Empress Dowager had towards him, which was practically an insult directed at his nose.

Moreover, on several occasions, the Empress Dowager colluded with Wei Zhongxian to try to kill Chen Er, which made Chen Er extremely angry this time.

"Where are you taking me? I will never leave the palace! Your Majesty, come out here! I am your biological mother!"

The Empress Dowager wasn't stupid. She knew that even if she fell into the Emperor's hands and her situation was bad, he would still take care of her and provide her with food and drink. But if she fell into Chen Er's hands, her fate would be predictable.

After all, the Empress Dowager and Chen Er are the two people who stand at the very back, and they are not on the same side. It is possible that Chen Er will kill him for his own benefit, and then the Emperor will have no way to do anything about it.

Because Chen Er's favorite thing to do was to act first and report later, Chen Er grabbed the Empress Dowager's hair.

"You shameless woman, don't be so brazen as to shout nonsense here. Believe me or not, I'll rip your head off." Chen Er didn't waste any more words after saying that.

They left with their men, but Chen Er hadn't gone far when a large group of eunuchs appeared in front of them and surrounded them. Wei Zhongxian, dressed in official robes, appeared with many civil and military officials.
