As he stepped forward, Liu Yi clearly sensed a triumphant smile on Li Ru's face.
Angry, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and glanced towards the ministers.
Especially when he looked at Grand Tutor Yuan Kui, he gave him an innocent look, as if he had been forced into this situation, before finally walking to the emperor's throne.
This was Liu Yi's first time doing something like this, and he was truly struggling to find the right balance.
If he acted too fiercely, the civil and military officials would be angered.
If he acted too softly, Dong Zhuo would be angry. The key was that Liu Yi still had to be mindful of Dong Zhuo's mood, and if he showed even a hint of sympathy for the emperor, Li Ru would definitely seize upon it, and who knows what trouble he might cause later.
