It’s hard to break a phoenix’s destiny

Chapter 382 Things are always changing

First, rumors spread in Luoyang City that Sima Yue had committed regicide and poisoned the fool emperor Sima Zhong. Later, there were rumors that Sima Yue wanted to be emperor and he was going crazy. The current emperor's brother was afraid that he would be killed before he could even wait for the day he ascended the throne. Just like when he sent someone to kill the former crown prince Sima Tan a few days ago, it is said that the scene was extremely bloody because Sima Tan shouted at home that he was the real dragon emperor.

There are more and more rumors, and they are spreading more and more widely. People in many places have heard about it. Later, some people said that Sima Yue was greedy for the beauty of the little queen of the fool emperor, and maybe he even wanted to make her his princess.

It is said that the official servant collected these rumors and presented them to Sima Yue. Sima Yue became furious and killed several more officials, making them unwilling to come to court.

Sima Yue called Mao Hongbin over and asked him to rectify public security in Luoyang and arrest those who spread rumors and kill them all.

Mao Hongbin said with a grimace: "Your Majesty, can I retire from my humble position and return to my hometown? I really can't do my humble job."

"What do you mean? This is when the court needs people, and you actually want to resign?" Sima Yue was very unhappy and slammed the table.

"I can't continue my humble position." Mao Hongbin knelt down, "All of us in Luoyang City are your personal soldiers. The few military guards in the humble Northern Army Mansion wanted to take care of things, but they didn't listen and even took us. They were all kicked out."

"If that doesn't work, you have to take control. In a few days, the emperor's brother will be enthroned in the main hall, and someone will still come to congratulate him. You have to take care of public security."

"When?" Mao Hongbin asked quickly, "Will the city gate be closed?"

"You are stupid! Why are you closing the city gate to let in those people who are congratulating you?" Sima Yue pressed his temples with a dark face, "Those people still need to arrange a place to stay, so you can do this too."

"Ah? It can't be done. I really can't do this humble position. I'd better resign from my humble position." Mao Hongbin shook his head and waved his hands, and even wanted to escape from the palace. Sima Yue was so angry that he yelled again, "You are also a veteran of three dynasties, why? Don’t you have such a sense of responsibility?”

"I have always been dawdling in humble positions." Mao Hongbin also started to cheat.

"No, let's finish this matter first, and then you can resign." Sima Yue refused.

"Then...then...are these people living in the inn in Luoyang?" Mao Hongbin asked again.

"What inn should I stay in? Can it be accommodated?"

"You can't live in the palace, right?"

"Isn't there a North Fifth Palace in the palace? Clean it up, it's quite a big place." Sima Yue thought about it, "Why did I see a burned sedan there that day?"

"Hey, that's Feng Luan, the one where the queen is sitting..." Mao Hongbin responded immediately, "The emperor said that those things are made of big gold. After burning, some of the big gold turned into gold water and melted into the earth. Thinking of sorting this out one day, it’s all gold!”

"Then go and sort it out!" Sima Yue became more and more irritated because he saw another official, Yan Guan, standing at the door.

"This won't work either. The key to the Fifth North Institute is in the hands of the Queen, and a lowly position cannot open it..."

"Then you go find her!" Sima Yue stood up and drank a large pot of water, "Hurry up, there are many people attending the ceremony. By the way, we also need to prepare some cattle and sheep. , Liu Yuan and the others are coming."

"Who?" Mao Hongbin was stunned again.

"Hey, Liu Yuan from the Huns, come here this time, I want to talk to him, peace talks, peace talks!" Sima Yue didn't know what he thought of, and became even more irritated, "You can't help with so many things. Will I share the burden?"

"The humble position... is not good." Mao Hongbin lowered his head, "The humble position should first go to the Queen and ask for the key to the Fifth North Institute." "Go, go." Sima Yue waved his hand, and then waved. Mao Hongbin and the Yanguan attendant at the door saluted each other before they separated.

As soon as Mao Hongbin left Jinyang Palace where Sima Yue was, he immediately put away his humility and timidity and hurried to Tianyuan Palace with Qin Chaoge who had been waiting at the door.

Yang Xianrong and Cuixi were taking inventory of their clothes. Those clothes that were too gorgeous and gorgeous must no longer be worn. The phoenix robe that symbolized the queen's rights could only be placed at the bottom of the box. She was now the queen of the late emperor. She also had a dragon robe belonging to Sima Zhong in her hand, which she wanted to wear for him when celebrating his birthday.

Thinking of this, Yang Xianrong's hands began to tremble again.

The right hand that Sima Zhong held tightly until his death could even feel the pain of imprisonment.

"Girl, do you want to put away these dresses?" Cuixi unfolded a boudoir dress brought from the Yang family. Yang Xianrong reached out to take it and touched it on her body. It turned out to be much looser. Cui Xi's nose felt sour and she was about to cry again, "Why has the girl lost so much weight?"

"Hey, it's okay, just eat more." Yang Xianrong folded the dress and put it aside. "Although this fabric is not as good as the quality in the palace, it is very comfortable to wear. Let's put it outside first. Jinyong City There is no one here who can wear this..."

"Queen, Master Mao is here." Zhang Liang said in a low voice outside the door.

"Oh, please come in quickly." Yang Xianrong put down the dress in his hand and walked out quickly. She hasn't seen Mao Hongbin since Sima Zhong's accident. They only communicated with each other from the people below.

Upon seeing this, both of them had red eyes.

Mao Hongbin hugged the sheep Xianrong regardless and cried, "Rong'er, don't be afraid."

He is Yang Xianrong's mentor and friend in Tai'an County. He is someone recognized by her grandmother. He is their brother and sister's best friend and supporter. Even if he came to serve as an official in the Northern Army Mansion, it was all because of Yang Xian Rong became the queen. There are many things that don’t need to be explained, everyone understands them.

At this moment, there is even a sense of joy of surviving the disaster.

Both shed tears.

Cui Xi quickly closed the door and felt sad when she saw Qin Chaoge also wiping tears.

"No, we can't cry yet. Let's talk about serious business first." Mao Hongbin suddenly said seriously, "Where is the imperial seal? Did the emperor give it to you? This thing can save your life! If Sima Yue insists on your burial, you can Giving this to him will definitely save his life!”

"No." Yang Xianrong's face fell, "He died so suddenly, there was no time to say anything."

"Where are his things? Have you looked for them?" Mao Hongbin continued to ask.

"The jade seal? The key to the arsenal? The key to the Fifth North Institute? Those have always been in my hands. There is nothing in his palace. They can all be seen on the surface."

"Does Zhang Du know?"

"Mr. Zhang is still asleep. His injuries are serious. Doctor Qin said he is afraid that he may not be able to survive anymore." Yang Xianrong shed tears again.

"Isn't it just a broken leg? It can be cured!" Mao Hongbin frowned, "Mr. Qin can do it."

"My heart is broken." Yang Xianrong wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes, "General Manager Zhang has always taken care of the emperor since he was a child, and has never been separated for a moment. Now he can't bear to watch the emperor... die. . You have also seen how good Mr. Zhang is to the emperor and takes care of everything. Now...hey...what Doctor Qin means is that he may not survive this month."
