It’s hard to break a phoenix’s destiny

Chapter 508: Standing Up at a Critical Moment
"General!" A Xiongnu soldier ran in from outside the Taiji Hall, walked up to Liu He and saluted. He took a look at the situation here, opened his mouth, but no sound came out.

But Liu He had already turned to look at him and asked, "What's the matter?"

"This..." The Xiongnu soldier pursed his lips and leaned over to Liu He and whispered a few words. Liu He's expression changed, but he finally waved his hand and let him go.

Although Yang Xianrong was very close to him, she still couldn't understand what he said. It should be Xiongnu language, right?

But when she glanced, she saw a glimmer of light in the dull eyes of her fifth sister Yang Xianlian, and her heart moved again.

Liu He led his men out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, but left the gate tightly closed so that no one could go out.

Only at this moment did Sima Chi relax and sit on the ground, but he started to tremble again. Lin Ruowang at the side couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, stop shaking. Everyone is gone. Everything is fine now."

"What do you mean it's all right? They've locked us up now!" Sima Chi was just a bully, yelling at Lin Ruowang. Lin Ruowang couldn't argue with him, so he had to step back and check on Liang Lanbi.

Liang Lanbi had already sat on the ground, not looking at all dignified and elegant like a queen. She lowered her head, closed her eyes, and didn't know what she was thinking. Liang Lanshan had already squatted beside her, whispering something to her.

The other ministers, most of whom were civil servants, had already begun talking in low voices, discussing the current situation.

At this time, Liang Fen turned to Yang Xianrong and asked in a low voice: "What does Queen Hui think?"

"What does Lord Liang mean?" Yang Xianrong did not expect Liang Fen to be so polite to her. Logically, he should be with Sima Chi at this time. She held Sima Jing in her arms, and then held Yang Xianlian, and said, "I am just a woman, and I don't know anything."

"No, no, no, Queen Hui is brave and wise. She just confronted Liu He. I and the officials in the Taiji Palace admire her. In this situation, I would like to ask Queen Hui to say a few words so that I can do my job."

"Haha, this matter is not my turn to make the decision." Yang Xianrong looked at Sima Chi, and Sima Chi was also looking at her and nodded vigorously.

"Empress Hui is the wise wife of Emperor Xiaohui. In the current situation..." Liang Fen looked at her daughter Liang Lanbi with hatred and helplessness, "Please let Empress Hui make the decision."

Seeing him say this, the ministers nodded one after another, as if they had no idea what to do.

Yang Xianrong was a little annoyed, but she was alone now and could not react too obviously. She could only frown and say, "I don't know what to do either, but now Liu He is obviously not here to attack the Jin Dynasty. He must be trying to prove something, right?"

"I heard that Liu He has been appointed as the crown prince. If Liu Yuan dies this time... then he should be the successor."

"So, what is Liu Yuan's current condition?" After all, her embroidered messengers are limited in number, and the news may not be as timely as Liang Fen and the others. "He is seriously ill and will recover soon." Liang Fen whispered, "This is the news reported by a spy a few days ago, and Liu He's brothers are all wondering if he put something in Liu Yuan's medicine, so Liu Yuan only had a slight fever, but now he is already unconscious."

"Oh? Maybe it's an epidemic?" Because Sun Ying is currently experiencing the same condition, Yang Xianrong immediately thought of this.

"It is possible. The winter snow has melted, and the frozen corpses on the roadside are gradually rotting, emitting a foul stench that has polluted the soil and water sources. There is a possibility that a major epidemic is about to occur in Luoyang now." Another official came over and whispered about the current situation.

Now not only Luoyang, but even the entire Jin Dynasty is in a precarious state, because the weather is getting warmer, and all kinds of people are active. Not only foreigners, but also other members of the Sima family are beginning to make moves, trying to pull Sima Yue's faction off the imperial power again. After hearing a lot, Yang Xianrong also began to feel troubled.

This situation has reached the stage of "I am the fish on the chopping board", not to mention that they are all trapped in the palace...

"Girl! Girl!" Someone was shouting outside the Taiji Hall, and there was a commotion. Then, the door was opened, and Cui Xi and Qin Chaoge ran in, followed closely by the Xiongnu soldiers. However, it seemed that there was no fight.

"What happened?" Yang Xianrong asked.

"The mistress is in a very bad condition. I'm here to report the news." Cui Xi knelt on the ground. Qin Chaoge stood behind her, blocking the Hun soldiers.

"Ah?" Yang Xianrong also panicked. She just saw that her mother had fallen into a coma.

In fact, there was already an epidemic in the palace, and it was slowly spreading. Sun Ying was infected because she was too tired to take care of Sima Jing and Yang Xianlian's daily life, and she was weak. Yang Xianrong was anxious, but Luoyang was already short of doctors and medicine, and there was no way out. Xu Henian could only boil some medicine with the existing medicinal materials on hand, but after all, the medicine was not suitable for the disease, so he couldn't just drink it blindly.

Moreover, they are now afraid that the epidemic of Sun Ying and other people in the palace will spread, and no one will be spared.

Some of the Xiongnu soldiers could understand the language of the Great Jin Dynasty, and seeing Cui Xi crying and running over, they finally let them pass into the hall. But now Yang Xianrong was anxious to run back to Tianyuan Palace. These people disagreed, after all, Liu He's order was that no one could leave Taiji Hall.

Yang Xianrong didn't care about that. She asked Cui Xi and Qin Chaoge to protect Yang Xianlian and Sima Jing, while she picked up her skirt and walked out quickly.

The Hun soldiers at the door stopped her.

But Yang Xianrong was wearing a gorgeous phoenix robe, and she looked extremely dignified and elegant, showing no fear at all. This made the Xiongnu soldiers look at each other in bewilderment, and they did not dare to stop her.

At this time, Liu He was talking to a few other people outside the Taiji Hall. Seeing Yang Xianrong actually walked out by herself, with a few women behind her, he frowned and walked over again, asking in a rough voice, "Where are you going?"

"My mother is ill, and she is not doing well... General, can you let me go back to Tianyuan Palace to see her?" Yang Xianrong's face was full of sorrow, and she was about to cry, which softened Liu He's heart. After all, he had never seen such a delicate, fair and soft woman. Even with his tough attitude just now, in his eyes, Yang Xianrong was still just a little woman.
