It’s hard to break a phoenix’s destiny

Chapter 367: Tossing and turning, restless

Seeing Sima Zhong stamping the jade seal on the piece of yellow silk, Sima Yue left Juyuan Palace with great satisfaction, but also ordered General Qi Hong to closely guard everyone in the Chang'an Palace. The people who stayed in the palace served the emperor and empress on a daily basis.

Sima Zhong originally wanted to live in Juyuan Palace with Yang Xianrong, but both Sima Yue and Qi Hong thought that the emperor still wanted to attend court to discuss matters symbolically, so they dragged him back to their palace to become a qualified puppet emperor. .

The concubines and concubines in the harem were panic-stricken. After crying and making a fuss in the Weiyang Palace, they calmed down when they saw the ferocious General Qi Hong. They also proposed to live in Juyuan Palace with Queen Yang Xianrong, but Yang Xianrong closed the door tightly, with an obvious meaning: no one should come.

Qi Hong didn't take much notice of this delicate little queen, and ordered his soldiers not to let anyone come out. But Yang Xianrong still asked Mao Hongmao to take full charge of the emperor's daily diet. "What else can he do as a cook in Mingyue Tower? He just makes some porridge and minced meat for us. The general will not even do this." You don’t agree to anything, right?”

Qi Hong frowned and was very irritated. He had too many things to deal with. He was called to Juyuan Palace by Yang Xianrong for a meal. He was in a very bad mood. "Okay, let go."

"Let the few handymen around him who are moving around also be released. All the people here in this palace are women and have no strength." Yang Xianrong continued.

"Let go." Qi Hong waved his hand again.

"Can the old eunuchs from Princess Pingyang be placed here with me? We have a lot of luggage to pack and we need them."

"put."

"Can you help me find some big wooden boxes?" Yang Xian's tone was gentle, not condescending at all, more like the girl next door talking to Qi Hong.

Qi Hong was still extremely impatient, "How could it be transported here in the first place? It would be great if it could be transported back now. How come there is a shortage of wooden boxes?"

"It was so cold in winter that those rough guys like Yuan Jianshuo burned the wooden boxes as firewood." Yang Xianrong was wearing slightly thinner clothes. The door of Juyuan Palace was open, and the cold wind slipped in again.

"Why is it so troublesome?" Qi Hong became even more irritated, "How many are needed?"

"I don't know that this palace was taken care of by Commander Yuan in the first place." Yang Xianrong looked at his white hands, asked Cui Xi to take the mutton fat ointment and apply it on it, and then said, "The women in the harem pay most attention to appearance. The rouge gouache is almost gone. I wonder if there are any in Chang’an City?”

"...Who did this before?" Qi Hong stamped his feet, so frightened that Zhang Liang, who was standing aside, trembled.

"What a troublesome general..." Yang Xianrong lowered his eyes, looking like he had been greatly wronged. Half of her little face was still a little red and swollen, which made her feel even more distressed.

Although Qi Hong did not see Ji Feiyan's attack, he heard that the slap was quite severe. It has been three days, and the swelling on Yang Xianrong's face has not subsided yet. Evil men are also afraid of twisting their fingers.

Qi Hong clenched his fists and said in a rough voice: "For such a trivial matter, the Queen should not ask me to come over in person. Just send someone to come and say it. I will release Yuan Jianshuo and let him clean up with you." Things. As long as you don’t go too far, I don’t care.”

"Thank you, General." Yang Xianrong wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeves, which made Qi Hong feel irritable again, and immediately walked out of Juyuan Palace like a whirlwind. The irritable mood in his heart could not be dissipated for a long time. The wine shop and brothel in Chang'an City were still open, so he went in without thinking and had a good night.

There was not much time left for the emperor and empress to clean up. After Sima Yue announced the imperial edict to the world, he urged Sima Zhong to return to Luoyang immediately.

Sima Zhong looked at Zhang Du lying on the bed and cried bitterly again. Zhang Du even yelled at him before he stopped crying. Little by little, Yang Xianrong slowly brought out more than a hundred people, including Yuan Jianshuo and He Jiunian, from Qi Hong's close guard. He asked some of them to protect Sima Zhong, and some of them quietly brought the people who had been transported here. The gold, silver and jewelry were buried underground in Juyuan Palace.

"Will we come back?" Zhang Du's legs were broken and it was difficult to take care of himself on a daily basis, let alone take care of Sima Zhong. Yang Xianrong asked Cao Tong to dress up as a young eunuch to take care of him, so that he could communicate with each other more easily.

On this day, because Sima Zhong's dragon robe had to be packed into boxes, Yang Xianrong made a special trip over. He watched Zhang Liangxue and Lu Zhu carefully fold the red, black, and gold-threaded robe carefully and put it into the big camphor tree. in the box. At the same time, Lu Zhu quietly packed the gold and jade belt and some pendants with silk cloth and handed them to Mu Tan and Forsythia. The two men were extremely quick with their hands and feet, putting it into the food box and carrying it away.

"How long will Mr. Zhang's leg injury last?" Yang Xianrong sat down and looked at Qi Hong's soldiers at the door. He just touched the cold teapot lightly and made no other movements.

Green Bamboo stepped forward and poured some hot water, covering Yang Xianrong and Zhang Du with his whole body.

"Looking at the current situation, we may not be able to stay in Jinyong City. It is better to hide some money for emergencies." Yang Xianrong said quickly, "If it can be sold, it would be good to exchange it for food."

"Hey..." Zhang Du's sigh was so loud that Cui Xi had to pour some hot water on the table, exclaimed and hurriedly wiped it away, so as not to arouse the suspicion of the soldiers. But Zhang Du still cried, feeling very sad.

Yang Xianrong ignored him and turned around and returned to Juyuan Palace. She has no time to be sad now. She wants to arrange the road ahead for Sima Zhong and herself, because Sima Yue is not Sima Lun or Sima Ying. They have some relationship with this idiot emperor, and they will also look at the former emperor Sima. Lun's remaining power is better towards Sima Zhong.

Sima Yue and Sima Lun are from the same clan, but they are completely different factions. In his heart there are only rights and battles, you can know that by looking at what he does. They actually lured people from the Xianbei Xiongnu tribe into Chang'an, and even started burning, killing and looting, which was even more excessive than Zhang Fang did before. Therefore, even if Sima Zhong returns to Jinyong City, he may not be able to be the Supreme Emperor for how long. There are still variables.

Mao Hongmao said that things are increasingly unavailable to buy outside. Even if you have money, you can only buy them at high prices. Therefore, it became extremely difficult for everyone to eat.

In addition to dealing with the emperor's affairs, Yang Xianrong now also worries about his two brothers. These two people were Qi Hong's key targets. Even if the Imperial Guards were to release them, they would not be released.

"As long as there are no injuries, it will be fine." Yang Xianrong prayed silently in his heart. There was no control over the world, and she felt more and more that she had no ability. She was so anxious that she couldn't sleep every night.
