Inside the Luoyang Palace, the officials were used to the daily silence in court, and it had almost become Dong Zhuo's personal fiefdom.

"Wenyou, this stuff is really good! Liuwei Dihuang Pills, it's all thanks to Zhao Hao for coming up with such a prescription, it has made me feel comfortable countless times these past few days!"

"Here, Wenyou, take this small box of Liuwei Dihuang Pills back with you, and try your best to give me a few more grandchildren soon!"

Looking at Dong Zhuo, who was becoming increasingly addicted to wine and women, Li Ru felt a deep sense of sorrow.

But I couldn't bring myself to scold him.

Dong Zhuo's hair and beard had already turned white. It was only natural that he wanted to enjoy life as he got older.

"Father-in-law...could you grant me permission to enjoy this for a few months?"

Prince Dongfei possesses ample martial prowess but lacks political acumen. The future situation remains unpredictable; matters of the boudoir remain...

"alright!"

Dong Zhuo snorted. If it weren't for Li Ru, and anyone else had said these words to him, he would have made them wish they were dead.

"Li Su and Wu Fu both said that this medicine is extremely effective, and even praised me for having the appearance of an emperor, only then is I worthy of enjoying such a divine medicine! I am willing to share this elixir with you, yet you still say these things to mock me, are you bullying me because I am old!"

Li Ru's heart skipped a beat. Liuwei Dihuang Pills... Emperor, is it over?

For no apparent reason, upon hearing Dong Zhuo's words, Li Ru had this inexplicable suspicion arise in his heart.

All of this seemed to be planned by Zhao Hao, as if a large, visible but intangible hand had already enveloped them!

"Ru... had no such intention! In that case, I will not disturb my father-in-law any longer."

I hope my father-in-law will stay away from slanderers, cherish his health, reduce his indulgence in sensual pleasures, and never forget the ideals we set out for each other that day…”

"Get out of here!"
