The Three Great Han Dynasties: Awaken Liu Bei with a scolding; you weave mats and sell sandals.

Even if the emperor's brother-in-law were allowed to enter the palace, it would still be against etiquette, especially after Liu Hong had just given him such a warning.

Therefore, this current action seems even more absurd and ridiculous.

Unfortunately, neither Empress He nor the emperor's brother-in-law He Jin were aware of this matter at all. They were truly the most foolish people in the world, and it's no wonder that they were stuck in the original trajectory.

The two of them ultimately met such a tragic end, their heads separated from their bodies.

"Is His Majesty going to appoint a crown prince?"

As soon as He Jin entered the side hall and heard these words, his eyes lit up, and he was only concerned about this matter.

His gaze sharpened, and he selectively ignored the grievances his sister had just suffered.

Ultimately, these are all things that have already happened, and there's no point in bringing them up again.

He slapped his thigh and gritted his teeth: "So that assassin wanted to expose me? Well done, Sun Jian! I, He Jin, have treated you well in the past, yet you betrayed me so easily. When the day comes that I capture you alive, only by crushing your bones to dust and skinning you alive can I quell the hatred in my heart."

He Jin's eyes were filled with malice, and his tone was fierce.

This behavior displeased Empress He, who was standing nearby.

She frowned, her voice carrying a hint of coldness: "Brother, do you really still remember me and Bian'er in your heart?"

Could it be that only the He family exists, and there's absolutely no place for my son and me?

Before this, Empress He would never have had such thoughts, but there have been too many changes recently, and the situation of the He family is becoming more and more difficult. Naturally, it seems that some estrangement has arisen between the siblings, intentionally or unintentionally, which has made Empress He more cautious.

He Jin's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and then a fawning smile appeared on his face. He quickly stepped forward and took Empress He's arm: "Sister, do you really not know how I have treated you in the past?"

Why would you suddenly say something like that? It really breaks my heart.

He Jin's move of retreating to advance was quite skillful.

However, it is clear that this explanation alone could not convince the skeptical Empress He.

He Jin then launched into a long swearing and oath, patting his chest to guarantee his success. It took a tremendous amount of effort to finally appease Empress He.

He leaned closer to Empress He, lowered his voice, and said with unwavering resolve, "Sister, the most urgent matter is to suppress this assassination attempt, followed by the matter of the Crown Prince. Don't worry, sister, even if our He family has to risk everything, even our lives, we will make sure Bian'er sits on the throne of Crown Prince and one day ascends to the throne of the Emperor. Sister, you are the Empress."

He should rightfully be the Crown Prince of our Great Han Dynasty.

He Jin spoke with such cadence and passion that even Empress He felt a surge of emotion and excitement.

His suspicions about his elder brother vanished in an instant.

No matter how you put it.

They were siblings born of the same mother, and for them, their child to sit on the throne as crown prince or even emperor was an immense benefit.

Immediately afterwards, He Jin hurriedly left the palace.

Before leaving the palace.

His expression remained relatively calm, but once he returned to the He family mansion, in front of his younger brother He Miao, He Jin could no longer contain himself. His eyes turned bloodshot, and he kept saying that he wanted to kill everyone in the Sun family, to grind them to dust, and that he would not let any of them go.

However, his deterrent effect was actually quite weak.

The Sun family is now completely under the watchful eyes of Liu Hong's real general's mansion, with layers upon layers of people protecting them, making them impenetrable. The small He family alone is simply not qualified.

"What? You're leaving this to me?"

Looking at He Jin's expectant gaze, He Miao realized that he wasn't joking.

His heart suddenly skipped a beat, as if struck by lightning.

He immediately shook his head frantically, his head almost leaving a blur, and repeatedly refused: "Brother, I really cannot do this. In the General's mansion alone, there are several fierce generals who are unmatched by ten thousand men, such as Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Zhao Yun, and Gan Ning."

And then there's Zhang Fei, known in the army as a warrior capable of defeating ten thousand men, with a temper as volatile as a man-eating tiger. Brother, if I go, and they mistake me for a villain and capture me, I'll likely be beheaded in an instant. Brother, you should send someone else; I truly am unwilling and unable.”

"This is none of my business. How dare you shirk responsibility?"

He Jin was somewhat panicked at this moment. His face darkened, and he even blurted out, "This matter is now entrusted to you. If you fail, my He family will be in danger of collapse. Don't forget, who contacted Sun Jian before?"

These words startled He Miao even more.

For a moment, He Miao couldn't help but feel a bit of resentment deep in her heart.

You're the one who caused this mess, why should I clean it up?

On the surface.

He really couldn't disobey the other party, after all, He Jin was the head of the He family and his own elder brother.

He Miao could only nod silently, then, with a sorrowful expression, slowly said, "Brother..."

"You're really confused."

Seeing that he had relented, He Jin's expression softened slightly. He glared at him irritably and said, "How could I really let you go alone? I will naturally send the best soldiers and generals from this manor to accompany you."

As soon as she finished speaking, He Miao finally breathed a long sigh of relief, her heart finally at ease.

Even the resentment that had just arisen deep within his heart naturally dissipated temporarily.

He quickly looked up and asked eagerly, "Whom does my brother intend to send? This person must be one of the most capable generals."

Otherwise, let alone rescuing Sun Jian, even reaching the side courtyard near the General's mansion would be an impossible task. Not to mention that Liu Hong's men also possessed unparalleled bravery; otherwise, how could they have severely wounded and rendered unconscious a fierce general like Sun Jian?

"I understand, I understand."

Seeing He Miao chattering incessantly in the mansion, He Jin's patience had its limits. He waved his hand impatiently, signaling him to leave first.

After He Miao left, He Jin sat alone in his study, his fingers lightly tapping the table. Images appeared in his mind as he began to think of the right people to send out.

So, as dusk approached, another person appeared in the side hall of He Jin's residence.

"What? Assassinate someone from the General's Mansion?"

"Your Excellency, this is absolutely inappropriate."

Cao Cao looked at He Jin, whose face was gloomy, and felt a chill run down his spine. He was dumbfounded.

On his desk lay the Seven-Star Sword that He Jin had just bestowed upon him; its blade gleamed coldly, making his face appear pale.
