It’s hard to break a phoenix’s destiny

Chapter 371 The emperor disappeared in the middle of the night

The emperor is missing.

This is a big deal.

But you can't make it public. Under the current circumstances, living a low-key life may cause problems.

Forsythia asked Lan Xiang to keep an eye on Sima Jing, while she quickly went to Tianyuan Palace to report the news to Yang Xianrong.

Yang Xianrong was wearing a green shirt and ran over without even putting on his shoes.

At this time, Zhang Du was coming out of the shower room with the help of two young eunuchs. The weather was too hot and he felt itchy all over, so he had someone help him take a shower.

Perhaps Sima Zhong ran away secretly because he saw that Zhang Du and Zhang Liang were not in sight?
Thinking of this, Yang Xianrong couldn't help but frowned.

Touching the thin quilt thrown on the ground, according to Zhang Liangxue, it was only half an hour since Sima Zhong lay down. Then, even if Sima Zhong goes out, he will not go too far. What's more, he has gained some weight and will get out of breath even if he walks a few steps.

Perhaps, he went to the house of a certain beauty in Lihua Garden?

Thinking of this, Yang Xianrong frowned again.

Recently, several beauties and noble concubines from Lihuayuan have been complaining about the lack of food and clothing, and came to Xianyang Palace to complain. But Yang Xianrong didn't see any of them, and even asked Lu Zhu to tell them to go find Sima Yue if they wanted to cry or make trouble. Anyway, she had absolutely no control here.

These beauties and concubines, even the concubines and beauties of the late Emperor Sima Yan, heard this and stopped making trouble. Later, Yang Xianrong said again: "If you leave first and go back to your parents' home, I will never keep you."

These people fell silent.

In fact, those who haven't left by this time are just poor people.

There is no one at home, or there is no power in the family, and they are unable to support their lives... In any case, they are unwilling to take in a palace woman who does not have a prince or princess by her side. The only one they can rely on is the emperor Sima Zhong, and they dare to make trouble with the little queen Yang Xianrong. After all, Yang Xianrong was willing to give them some food and money, so he couldn't care about other things.

Zhang Du's hair was still dripping with water. With the help of two young eunuchs, Zhang Du entered the bedroom and wanted to kneel down in front of the sheep. Yang Xianrong pulled him and asked Luzhu to find a dry handkerchief to wipe Zhang Du's hair first.

"Although the weather is hot, my hair still needs to be dried first."

"Empress." Zhang Du was about to cry, feeling very sad as he touched his injured leg, "This old slave is useless, it is better to die."

"What's the point of that?" Yang Xianrong stared, "It takes a hundred days to break your muscles and bones. You still have twenty days to go. Do you want to walk as fast as you can now?"

"I didn't pay attention to the emperor..." Zhang Du's sad face looked even sadder under the candlelight.

"The emperor is not a child, maybe he just wants to go out for a walk." When Yang Xianrong saw that Zhang Liang was about to light all the candles in Xianyang Hall, he immediately said: "Don't light the candles and blow out a few of them instead. "

"...Yes." Zhang Liangxue quickly blew out the candle in his hand.

"If the emperor just goes out for a walk, we lighting the candle will attract Sima Yue's attention. It's only an hour now, wait a minute." Yang Xianrong touched the thin quilt again, "The weather is so hot, he I can’t sleep either. Open all the windows, but smoke some mugwort under the windows... I still have some over there, so go get some from Green Bamboo to prevent mosquitoes from getting in. "

"Yes." Luzhu walked quickly carrying the lantern, and also took Sima Jing away.

The Xianyang Palace became quiet, as if Sima Zhong was still asleep in his dormitory. No one was walking around the palace, everything was business as usual. Zhang Du's hair had been dried and Zhang Liang combed it carefully for him.

Yang Xianrong sat in the dim light, looking at the gold pattern on the dragon bed in trance. To this day, she doesn't know what to do.

It wasn't until late at night that Sima Zhong came back quietly.

He is fat and bulky, but it is indeed surprising that he can be silent in the dark night. He thought that no one would notice, so he deliberately walked softly when he entered his dormitory. However, he unexpectedly saw Yang Xianrong sitting on his dragon bed. He yelled in fright and stumbled to the threshold. Almost fell.

If it weren't for the two eunuchs standing guard behind the door, they would have stretched out their hands in time to support Sima Zhong firmly. However, he still staggered several steps and almost knelt down.

Zhang Liang hoe quickly ran over and used his own body to hold him up, so that he would not really fall.

"Yang Mie, why are you here? Do you want to scare me to death?" Sima Zhong wiped the sweat from his head and sat on a chair beside him with the help of Zhang Liang.

Yang Xianrong then stood up, walked to his side and asked, "It's hot, and I thought the emperor might need someone to fan him. Mr. Zhang has inconvenient legs and feet, so naturally it was my concubine who came here."

Sima Zhong looked up at her, with a bit of fear in his eyes. However, he still straightened his back and said, "Nothing, nothing, I'm not hot."

"That's good." Yang Xianrong glanced at Sima Zhong, whose front skirt was already soaked, "Then your Majesty, please go to bed early, I will leave."

"...Yang Mieme, don't you ask me where I have been?" Sima Zhong spoke first.

"No more questions, the emperor can do whatever he wants." Yang Xianrong had already opened the door, "I also went back to sleep."

"Oh." Sima Zhong blinked and did not stop him.

Because there was a big hole in the palace wall between the two palaces, Yang Xianrong didn't go through the main entrance and turned around to drill the big hole. But Sima Zhong followed suit and stumbled again when he raised his feet at the entrance of the cave. The two young eunuchs were so frightened that they exclaimed softly, "Your Majesty, be careful."

Yang Xianrong then looked back at him and asked, "Does the Emperor want to visit Tianyuan Palace again?"

"It's not impossible, right?" Sima Zhong also laughed.

"Of course it's okay." Yang Xianrong turned around and looked at him, "Or, you can sleep with Jing'er. She has been sleeping restlessly these days and has to get up several times during the night."

"That's not good, I want to be with you." Sima Zhong stretched out his hand to pull Yang Xianrong, but Yang Xianrong dodged and asked with a dark face: "I don't have any preparations for bathing and dressing here, your Majesty, why don't you go Find other beauties.”

"Hey, Yang Mie, I just want to talk to you." Sima Zhong sighed, "I can't sleep either."

"My concubine is sleeping very well." Yang Xianrong still refused to be held by him and took two steps back.

"Then don't you ask me what I'm doing?" Sima Zhong asked again, "Aren't you waiting for me in my room?"

"No need to ask, the emperor naturally has his reasons." The courtyard of Tianyuan Palace is very clean and tidy, with no flowers or grass. Yang Xianrong asked people to collect all the things and prepare to go to Jinyong City at any time. Therefore, this place has long lost the luxurious beauty of the past, and even looks very shabby and dilapidated.

Sima Zhong stood up straight and looked around Tianyuan Palace in the dark night, and couldn't help but sigh heavily: "I can't give you anything."
