It’s hard to break a phoenix’s destiny

Chapter 489 Your Promise Can Come True

Sima Chi hesitated a little. After all, he felt that Pu Jinshan had indeed committed a serious crime of disrespect, but the follower beside him might not have committed a serious crime.

While he was stunned, Pu Jinshan's servant started crying and howling for his life.

Two men from the red-clad spear army brought him in front of Yang Xianrong.

Sima Chi took a closer look and found that he was indeed not very old and actually looked quite smart, so he could be called a book boy.

"Empress Hui, this..." Sima Chi felt that if he really killed this person, he would be suspected of killing innocent people in the court. But when he saw Yang Xianrong staring at this person with a sneer, he always felt that there might be something wrong.

"You don't want to kill him?" Yang Xianrong asked him, her voice full of doubt, "I am helping you."

Sima Chi clenched his fingers secretly. It was he who asked Yang Xianrong to help him.

"Okay, kill him then."

The Red Spear Army had a strong execution ability, and the servant was beheaded in an instant, rolling to the side. The civil and military officials in the hall were so frightened that they dared not even breathe, and kept trying to walk out of the hall silently.

Concubine Pei was already looking at Yang Xianrong with a frown on her face, but when Yang Xianrong saw the servant's head fall to the ground, she actually laughed and drank another small cup of wine.

"Your Majesty, I have helped you solve the case, haven't I?" There was a hint of coquettishness in her smile, which made Sima Chi lick his lips again and respond dryly.

"You also said that you want me to do something, no matter what it is, right?" Yang Xianrong continued, and the officials who had retreated to the corner pricked up their ears again.

The Red Spear Army originally wanted to clean up the bloodshed in the hall first, but when they heard the Emperor and Queen Hui were still talking, they just stood aside and did not move.

Xu Henian originally wanted to recite a few verses of scriptures, but Yang Xianrong suddenly gave him a sidelong look, which frightened him so much that he had to shut up and remain silent.

Sima Chi's hands were shaking a little, and he secretly grasped the armrest of the dragon throne through his wide robe sleeves, "I agree to your request."

"That's good." Yang Xianrong smiled again, her eyes were full of moving eyes. She looked at Sima Chi and said word by word: "I heard that the emperor chose the daughter of Lord Yuan to enter the palace as a beauty? Forget about this matter. I am short of a girl to teach the princess. I heard that this girl from the Yuan family is quite knowledgeable, so let her enter the palace to accompany Princess Qinghe."

Is this the request?

Sima Chi didn't react at all, and the others were also confused. Before, they even thought that maybe Yang Xianrong would ask to leave Luoyang. Would Sima Chi agree or not?
"Your Majesty?" Seeing Sima Chi remained silent, Yang Xianrong asked again, "Why? Are you reluctant to let her go? The girl from the Yuan family is indeed talented, beautiful and kind-hearted. Entering the palace to accompany Princess Qinghe is much more interesting than those scholars in the academy, isn't it?"

It was the same tone of voice, the same "is it?", Sima Chi felt that he was going to lose his hearing, and he just looked at the opening and closing red lips and thought: I should agree to whatever she said. "Yes, let's do it." Sima Chi nodded.

The person involved, Yuan Heshuo, was extremely surprised and almost cried. He didn't care about the blood on the ground and knelt on the ground to kowtow and thank the emperor. Of course, he was still polite, "Thank you, Your Majesty, Queen Hui. I am a mediocre girl, but I am willing to do my best for Princess Qinghe's teaching."

"Well, let's go to Tianyuan Palace tomorrow. There's no need to prepare anything, as everything here is very complete. Princess Qinghe doesn't like to read or write recently, so please take care of her, Miss Yuan." Yang Xianrong chuckled again. However, she didn't look at Concubine Pei, but Concubine Pei showed a little surprise. Of course, she concealed it very well and just sat there without making any expression.

Just when everyone thought that the matter was about to end, Yang Xianrong suddenly said, "Your Majesty, there is one more person who should be arrested first."

This sentence was like thunder in the court. Everyone retreated in panic, and looked at Yang Xianrong in fear, but they were afraid to look her in the eye. At this moment, they finally felt that this beautiful woman was really scary, especially after having Sima Chi as a backer. Fortunately, Sima Zhong, a fool, was in power and did not give her such an opportunity.

Sima Chi couldn't make a sound, just looked at her.

Yang Xianrong laughed again, "Just catch him and check him out."

"Oh." Sima Chi nodded and waved to Zhao Huanyu. Zhao Huanyu moved very quickly and immediately took up his position, staring at the people in the hall with a fierce look. Anyone he saw couldn't help but tremble and lowered their heads.

"Catch Sima Hu." Yang Xianrong pointed at the idle prince Sima Hu who was counting gold and silver, "Bring him here to talk."

"Ah?" Although the idle prince Sima Hu was counting money, he had actually been listening to their conversation, but he never thought that Yang Xianrong would have him arrested. Just as he was about to throw away the gold and silver and run, Zhao Huanyong had already twisted his arm. He could only scream, "What are you doing? I am the victim. I lost my gold! How can you arrest me?"

His voice is really loud, but what's the use?
Zhao Huanyong and his men didn't care. If they used a little more force, Sima Hu's arm would have been twisted and broken.

"This..." Concubine Pei finally spoke, "The prince has never asked about anything. Is there something wrong with him?"

"There is just too much gold. Let's check where it came from." Yang Xianrong was still calm. "Emperor Xiaohui also left a lot of gold and silver. But this time when I came back to check, I found that a lot of things were missing, especially in the armory. Most of the gold and silver were missing. Although, I don't know if these gold and silver have the palace's mark, but... Zhao Huanyong, you can check to see if there is a mark under the gold ingot?"

Zhao Huanyong looked at Sima Chi again, and Sima Chi nodded.

He asked another guard to catch Sima Hu who was struggling, and he walked over quickly and turned the box of stolen silver over, and the gold ingots scattered all over the floor. He picked up a piece and took a look at it, and immediately shouted: "This is the gold from the palace! There is the logo of the armory on it! These pieces... these pieces... all the gold in this box is from the armory!"

Sima Hu's face had turned pale and he struggled even more violently.

Yang Xianrong said softly, "Your Highness, please don't struggle. Do you want to test the power of Zhao Huanxuan's sword?"
