He Jin broke out in a cold sweat when he heard this, and then claimed to be ill and refused to enter the palace.

Later, Liu Bian's mood eased, Liu Bian said something to Dong Zhuo, and Dong Zhuo then said something to Liu Xie.

However, Liu Bian's words were incoherent, and he was not as good as Chen Liuwang and Liu Xie. Although Liu Xie was young, he answered fluently.
