Suddenly, Empress Dowager He felt as if the sky had fallen.

The young emperor is still young; how can she, a woman, control the current chaotic situation?

"Wang Zhen, I must go out and stop this chaos." Empress Dowager He hardened her heart and prepared to lead her entourage out of the palace.

"Your Majesty, these soldiers are already bloodthirsty. If they go out now and offend you, the consequences will be unimaginable!" Wang Zhen certainly did not want Empress Dowager He to go out.

He was also a eunuch; what if these soldiers killed him along with him?

"What should we do then?" Empress Dowager He was at a loss.

"It would be safer for Your Majesty to remain in Yong'an Palace."

"Then...what about His Majesty?!"

Empress Dowager He could hide in the palace, but if her son Liu Bian were to die in the turmoil, her last support would be gone.

"Yuan Shao and his men would never dare to harm His Majesty, Your Majesty, please rest assured!"

Wang Zhen comforted her, "Your Majesty, please go out after the turmoil outside has subsided!"

"These soldiers have committed a capital offense by disturbing the palace! They will surely come to you to beg for forgiveness!"

"Then you can pardon them and win them over."

Empress Dowager He sighed helplessly: "This is the only way. Send down the order to guard the palace gates and not let anyone break in!"

at the same time.

In the Cold Palace of the Western Garden, Empress Dowager Dong, who was under house arrest, also heard the commotion and hurriedly asked Wang Chengen what was going on.

Wang Chengen was imprisoned along with Jian Shuo because Jian Shuo's attempt to assassinate He Jin by leading the Xiyuan Army failed more than a month earlier.

Later, He Jin, considering that Wang Chengen was a close associate of the late emperor and had not been involved in the Jian Shuo affair, suggested that Empress Dowager He release him.

Empress Dowager He also wanted to win over Wang Chengen and other eunuchs around Liu Hong, so she agreed to release them.

However, Wang Chengen was placed under house arrest alongside Empress Dowager Dong to observe his behavior.

"Your Majesty, a terrible thing has happened in the palace! The General entered the palace and was killed by Zhang Rang and his men, and now the General's subordinates are coming to kill Zhang Rang and his men!"

"The palace is in complete chaos!"

The eunuchs guarding the West Garden had long since disappeared, and Wang Chengen found out what had happened.

"Hmph, it's just dogs fighting!"

Empress Dowager Dong had long harbored deep hatred for the betrayal of Zhang Rang and others, and remained unmoved.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up:

"Wang Chengen, before the late emperor passed away, did he ask you and Jian Shuo to support the Prince of Chenliu's succession to the throne?"

"In addition, the late emperor left a will instructing the King of Yunzhong to also provide support."

Is that true?
