It’s hard to break a phoenix’s destiny

Chapter 353 The power of life and death in the harem
The messenger fell off his horse, his head and face were covered with blood, his clothes were ragged, his armor was messy, and the brown blood stains looked very shocking. After receiving the news, Yuan Jianshuo and Zhao Ran rushed over to see the situation immediately. They recognized that this was Cao Tong, the personal guard sent by Sima Yong to sue for peace with Sima Yue. He was less than fourteen years old and looked immature.

"What happened?" Yuan Jianshuo knelt down and looked at him. He wanted to touch him, but he was afraid of the blood on his body, which would be difficult to treat if it was a wound.

Cao Tong recognized Yuan Jianshuo, cried "Wow" and shouted: "Commander Yuan, something big has happened! Sima Yue is coming, and we are less than 500 miles away from Chang'an."

"What?" Everyone around him exclaimed.

"Didn't you go to seek peace?"

"What is he doing?"

"Is he going to attack Chang'an?"

There were a lot of chatter, and everyone looked very panicked.

"I have to report to the prince first!" Cao Tong cried hard, and the tears and blood on his face were mixed together, which looked very scary.

Yuan Jianshuo felt cruelly and touched his whole body, confirming that there was an festering wound on his shoulder. He shouted to the accompanying doctor and asked him to come over and deal with it quickly.

Cao Tong was quite strong and still shouted: "I have to report to the prince first!"

"My life is gone, what kind of letter should I report?!" Yuan Jianshuo also yelled at him, "The wound has festered, and you have started to have a fever. If you delay for another half day, you will be dead!"

"Commander Yuan..." Cao Tong raised his head and looked at Yuan Jianshuo, "I am the messenger. General He asked me to tell the prince about this before he died."

"I'll send someone to go right now!" Yuan Jianshuo couldn't help him say anything more, so he took out General He's seal and token from his arms, called his two forbidden troops, and pulled two A big horse roared at them to rush back to Chang'an to report the news.

Two doctors rushed over and wanted to take off his clothes to take a closer look at the situation. But in the freezing cold weather, Cao Tong had started to have fever and flushes again, which was very inappropriate now.

Yang Xianrong got out of the carriage when he heard the noise, and hurried over with his clothes in hand.

Seeing this situation, she shouted to Lan Xiang and asked her to carry Sima Jing to her carriage, and let Sima Jing's carriage to the doctors.

Sima Jing looked at the bloody person in front of her in horror, but Yang Xianrong asked her to stand beside him and said quietly and calmly: "Jing'er, this is the price of fighting on the battlefield, it's all blood and lives. "

"Queen Mother..." Sima Jing hid behind Yang Xianrong.

"What are you afraid of? Remember, in these troubled times, what is at stake is the lives of ordinary people! Aren't their lives worth anything? Isn't it interesting to kill and injure countless people for power?" Yang Xianrong's voice became shrill, and the surrounding Forbidden Army could not stand it. He couldn't help but clenched his fists.

"Third sister." Even Yang Xiankang reminded Yang Xianrong, "Keep your voice down, don't scare Jing'er."

"She was born in troubled times, and she should have seen such bloodshed as soon as possible. She knew that the road ahead would not be smooth, and we might all lose our lives at any time. Haha, the Jin Dynasty is probably about to run out of energy." I don't know. Why, Yang Xianrong suddenly felt sad in his heart, and there were tears in his eyes.

At this time, Sima Zhong asked Zhang Du to come over and ask about the situation because the motorcade stopped.

Seeing Yang Xianrong's appearance, Zhang Du couldn't help but whispered: "Queen, this old slave will always be by your side until I can't walk anymore and dies. You don't want me anymore, old slave." Will take his last breath."

He said this, and all the imperial guards around him knelt down and said in a low voice: "Protect the Queen until the last moment." Yang Xianrong's tears flowed down. There was no solution to this situation.

She pulled Sima Jing into her Yang family's dark carriage again, and quietly waited for news from Cao Tong.

Two beauties jumped out of the ox cart at the back and rushed to the carriage of Emperor Sima Zhong. They said they wanted to ride with Sima Zhong because the ox cart at the back was too cold.

Zhang Du stopped these two beauties with a straight face.

Sima Jing opened the corner of the curtain and looked at the two beauties crying, and asked Yang Xianrong: "Queen mother, why are these two women doing this?"

"Because of stupidity." Yang Xianrong's tears had been wiped dry, and the ends of his scarlet eyes looked a bit narrow.

"Are they going to get into Father's carriage?" Sima Jing wanted to open the curtain, but Cui Xi had already reached out to hold her down and whispered: "It's cold outside, little princess, please don't open it."

"You can't see that! How could they get on Emperor Father's chariot?" Sima Jing pouted, forgetting the bloody scene just now, "Why does Emperor Father have so many women?"

"Because he is the emperor of the Jin Dynasty." A smile suddenly appeared on Yang Xianrong's lips, "I guess your father will kill these two beauties."

"Why?" Sima Jing didn't know why.

"Because he's tired of it." Yang Xianrong laughed again.

Cuixi still lowered the curtain and thoughtfully covered Yang Xianrong's legs with a small thin quilt.

Yang Xiankang stood outside the car window and said: "Third sister, eldest brother has gone to help Commander Yuan. Let's wait for a while before proceeding. I'll go and talk to the emperor."

"Second brother, wait a moment." Yang Xianrong opened a corner of the curtain and whispered, "Be careful if blood splashes on you."

"Ah? Ah!"

Yang Xiankang was still thinking about what his sister said when he heard the panicked shouts of the two beauties in front of him. He soon saw Sima Zhong withdraw his long sword. The cold light of the long sword was already covered with blood, and The two beauties fell to the ground and kept twitching. The blood under their bodies had spread, making them look even more dazzling in the snow.

"This... actually killed him?" Yang Xiankang didn't believe what he saw. He stood there dumbfounded, not knowing whether he should go forward and take a look, or stay where he was.

"Two fools." Yang Xianrong showed no mercy, "Second brother, stay here and don't go there. Everything will be arranged by the emperor. We should keep silent."

"Oh, okay." Yang Xiankang nodded, whispered to the imperial guards around him, and silently added two more guards to Yang Xianrong's carriage.

After a while, Zhang Du trotted over and said in a low voice: "Empress, Lin Meiren and Yue Meiren just ignored the rules and yelled in front of the emperor's chariot, and they have been killed by the emperor... Your Majesty Ask this old slave to come over and tell you: if there is another person in the harem who ignores the rules and etiquette, you can kill him directly without telling him."

"Oh?" Yang Xianrong did not open the curtain, "I am just a queen without real power."

"But you have the power of life and death for those in the harem. This is the harem of the Jin Dynasty after all." Zhang Du emphasized the tone of the next sentence.
