It’s hard to break a phoenix’s destiny

Chapter 247: Protect yourself in chaos

Jinyong City is self-proclaimed and refuses anyone to come.

Because the Queen Mother's fetal position was unstable and her health was extremely poor, she needed to rest.

Sima Lun looked at Sun Waner who was carried back, the edict stamped with Sima Zhong's personal seal, and a box of Sima Zhong's various seals. He smiled happily, thinking that this fool was really a big fool. Anyway, as long as he doesn't make trouble, his biological uncle won't touch him. As for the pregnant little queen, it would be better to have a child, so she can just be tied to the fool and don't need to pay attention to it.

He looked at Sun Xiu and Sun Qi who were kneeling in the main hall, and said very kindly: "Beautiful Sun's trip is also meritorious. I will reward you with a reward of one hundred taels."

Sun Xiu secretly clenched his fists. This was also given to the old man by his granddaughter. In the end, it was just a hundred taels of gold that was so light. He was so seriously injured and should have been promoted to one, but in the end he got nothing.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty." He still wanted to express his gratitude respectfully.

Sima Lun was very satisfied with his attitude and said with a smile: "I heard that you like drinking tea, so why not give you the tea garden on the northern outskirts of the city. I remember it is several hundred acres."

"Ah, thank you Lord for your kindness." He was a little dissatisfied just now, but now that he heard this, Sun Xiu was so excited that he almost cried. This was a fiefdom, a fiefdom outside Luoyang City. One of his ministers could not have a fiefdom, only the princes had it... He was excited, very excited.

Sima Lun looked at the minister who was kowtowing vigorously, and his smile became a little brighter. Sun Qi on the side saw it, but lowered his head. After his brother Sun Xiu finished kowtowing and thanking him, he slowly said: "Your Majesty, I have been feeling unwell recently and would like to take a few days off."

"Ai Qing, what's wrong?" Sima Lun was stunned for a moment. Sun Qi had indeed been looking bad recently and had lost a lot of weight. He even couldn't help but cough a few times while discussing matters in the main hall.

"I caught a cold a few days ago. Although I feel better, I still have a cough. There are blood streaks in the sputum these days... I want to find a doctor to take a look at it and nurse it back to health for a few days." When Sun Qi spoke, He coughed lightly again.

Sima Lun frowned. It would be extremely bad if he had tuberculosis and a cough. He cherishes his body very much now. After all, he became emperor at such an old age, and he still wants to sit there for a few more days to enjoy himself.

However, Sun Qi's knowledge was extremely high and he had a high reputation among many officials. His only weakness is pedantry, and he strictly abides by etiquette and filial piety, so much so that even when he saw his brother Sun Xiu's various calculations, and even made his granddaughter the queen of the fool emperor, he felt that he should obey his brother's decision in this matter.

He never said "no" to anything his brother said.

But now, he asked Sima Lun for a vacation without consulting Sun Xiu. Sun Xiu was also a little surprised. Looking at the pale Sun Qi, he asked in a low voice: "What's wrong? The cough still persists." Haven’t seen each other well? How long has it been?”

"It's been three or four days, and the blood has become more and more..." Sun Qi coughed again, and this time he caught his phlegm with a handkerchief. When he opened it and looked at it, he saw that there was indeed a mouthful of phlegm and half a mouthful of blood, which was a bit shocking. .

"Hey...how did this happen?" Sun Xiu actually took half a step back, with an extremely concerned expression on his face. He cupped his hands towards Sima Lun and said, "Your Majesty, my brother is ill. Please let him rest for a few days. Let's go." "Go and come back when you're ready." Sima Lun also saw the blood on the veil, and he felt even more unhappy.

Sun Qi bowed his head carefully to Sima Lun with a slightly trembling body, then bowed his hand to his brother and left the hall.

My own slave was already waiting under the carriage at the entrance of the palace. When she saw her master coming out, she quickly stepped forward to greet him. Sun Qi held on to the shaft of the carriage and tried to climb up by himself, but failed two or three times. Finally, the slave bowed down and let him step on his back before he managed to climb up.

The servants who were waiting for their masters all saw this scene, and they didn't say anything, but they also kept it in their hearts, planning to tell their masters later: The Queen's grandfather's illness may be a bit serious, right?

Sun Qi sat in the carriage and lowered the curtain, then breathed a sigh of relief, touched his face, coughed a few more times, and then laughed silently.

The news that the Supreme Empress was pregnant gradually spread, and people had different expressions, but they were all silent. Many shops in Luoyang are still not open for business and their doors are closed. There are only some small restaurants that are still setting up stalls, but they open their doors as soon as it gets dark.

The prices of rice, flour, grain and oil suddenly became much more expensive, and it was said that they could not be shipped in. But no one said specifically why the shipment failed to come in.

The door of Beijun Mansion was only ajar, and Mao Hongbin was sitting in the flower hall reading a book. Everyone in the Beijun Mansion also performed their duties, but they were not busy at all. Yang Xiankang actually took a nap. Qin Chaoge was afraid that he would catch a cold, so he threw a quilt to cover him. His hands were playing with the buttons on his clothes, silently lost in thought.

They are now marginalized functional departments, as long as there are people there for normal operations. Sima Lun did not particularly interfere with the affairs of the Beijun Mansion. Anyway, his personal followers are now in charge of all things in Luoyang City, especially those who kowtow to the Luoyang Palace every day.

When General Zhang Lin came in, Mao Hongmao was already dozing off.

Zhang Lin is also very popular now. He was just a counselor before, but because he opened the gate of the imperial city for Sima Lun first, he also made a rainbow auspicious omen, saying that this is the wish of the people in the world.

Sima Lun believed in the stories of ghosts and gods. When he was hesitant to usurp the throne, he went to worship at the Xuandi Temple in Beimang Mountain, and then found the words "Emperor Lun" on the stone tablet. After returning, he received a gift from Sun Xiu. Sima Zhongchan came and accepted the imperial edict to abdicate the throne, and then he ascended the throne and became emperor.

The people didn't know the truth behind this. They just knew that Sima Lun was happy to be the emperor, and that someone like Zhang Lin could be a general of the Wei without any imposing manner. There are three people who are disliked by the people in the market. One is Sima Lun's grandson who eats, drinks, whores and gambles; the second is Sun Xiu's son Sun Hui. He is short and ugly, like a low-class slave, but he marries Sima Zhong's son. The daughter is Princess Hedong; the third one is Zhang Lin, who looks wretched, his eyes are gleaming, and he is uncomfortable to look at.

When he walked in with a small group of people, he was not polite at all and said directly: "Mao Hongbin, the emperor asked you to answer the question."

Mao Hongbin suddenly woke up, still a little confused. He looked at the visitor and asked, "What's your reply? What does he want to do?"
