It’s hard to break a phoenix’s destiny

Chapter 661: Afternoon nap and talk on bed

When Liu Yao washed up and entered the room, he saw Yang Xianrong sitting on the bed in a daze, wondering what she was thinking. He couldn't help but ask, "What happened? People say that pregnancy makes people stupid for three years. What happened to my most beautiful third sister?"

Because of the use of some soap beans specially formulated by Yang Xianrong, a fresh scent came over. Yang Xianrong looked up at Liu Yao and admired him silently in her heart. This man's heroic spirit has not changed at all. On the contrary, he looks more courageous as he grows older.

"It's just too hot." Yang Xianrong wiped the sweat from his collar with his hand, and then simply opened his collar, which made Liu Yao feel a lot hotter. At this time, he noticed that the big fan had stopped, and quickly turned around to go to the well outside the house to fetch another bucket of water.

However, he also discovered that the bucket made a sound only after it had been thrown in for a long time. "How... how did the water in the well become so deep?"

Wang Po, who was standing in the yard, had already caught up. She and Shen Po were both wearing coarse cloth clothes. Although the material was not good, they would not get sticky due to sweat. Instead, they were much cooler than Yang Xianrong's gauze skirt.

"General, you don't know that this well water is originally a well in the city, connected to the water source outside. Now the rivers outside must have dried up a lot, so the well water has naturally become deeper and harder to draw up." Wang Po quickly found a clean bucket, poured the bucket that Liu Yao brought up into another bucket, and then added water to the water truck of the big fan, and the big fan slowly began to fan again.

Liu Yao was afraid that one bucket of water was not enough, so he threw the bucket down again and planned to bring up another bucket of water. But Yang Xianrong had already walked out, sighed and said, "Forget it, we can still draw water in the yard, which is good enough. Don't waste water on these things. I heard that many wells in Chang'an City can no longer draw water, and people in the suburbs have fled because their crops have failed?"

"Yes, and many people have started selling their children because they can't make ends meet." Liu Yao said as he worked hard to get a bucket full of water. He put some of it into the bucket and poured some directly into the fan water truck. "I'd better fill the bucket with water for you so you can cool down first. You're sweating all over and you're feeling uncomfortable. You should make yourself feel better first."

"Okay." Yang Xianrong saw that Liu Yao's exposed upper body was sweating a lot, so she asked Shen Po to get a big towel to wipe him. After Liu Yao put down the bucket, he held Yang Xianrong's hand and smiled, "I'll do it myself, I can't tire my third sister."

"I can still do this." Yang Xianrong touched his chest muscles coquettishly, causing Liu Yao to straighten his chest and laugh even louder.

Wang Po and Shen Po also smiled quietly and carried the bucket out of the yard. The general had just returned, so it would be better to let the two of them talk more.

The two of them were indeed a little bit affectionate for a while, and then they went back to the house hand in hand. It was too hot outside, so it was better to stay inside. Liu Yao took the big handkerchief and wiped the sweat off Yang Xianrong's forehead and neck, "Why are you sweating more than me?"

"Don't you know? Pregnant women are naturally hotter than others." Although Yang Xianrong was used to Liu Yao's "service", she was still a little shy when he touched her neck. She held down his big hand, took the handkerchief, and wiped it again. "It feels like there is a furnace in my stomach, burning my internal organs."

"What did Bian Heng say? How about drinking some fire-reducing medicine soup?" Seeing that Yang Xianrong had finished wiping, Liu Yao took the towel and wiped himself in a mess. Then he sat down and looked at Yang Xianrong carefully, "Your eyes are a little swollen." "There is no way. The weather is too hot and the moisture in the body can't be discharged. Wait, it will be better if it cools down." After tossing for so long, Yang Xianrong felt a little tired again and couldn't help lying down, "You are not in a hurry to leave, right? Stay with me and talk for a while. Otherwise, when Fu Hai finishes eating and wakes up, he will come to make trouble with me again."

"Okay." Liu Yao embraced Yang Xianrong, adjusted himself to a comfortable position and lay down, enjoying this rare peaceful time.

"Has something happened?" Yang Xianrong was a very smart woman and she easily guessed what was on Liu Yao's mind.

"It's just...ah, these are all very difficult things to do." Liu Yao never concealed anything and told the whole story of today's court, even his guesses. Finally, he sighed, "I just heard today that the emperor intends to appoint Liu Can as prime minister and great Khan, in charge of all affairs."

"How could Liu Can do such things when he is so young?" Yang Xianrong frowned slightly. "If this is the case, Jin Zhun's sphere of influence will be greatly expanded, right? This man has evil intentions. If in the future... Liu Can takes charge of the country, he will be the emperor emeritus."

"I don't know what to say about this matter. It should be said that the order is correct, but these people are really not good enough." Liu Yao also frowned, "I also heard Liu Gu and Cao Zheng whisper to me that the emperor has been relying on several eunuchs in the palace recently, such as Wang Shen, Xuan Huai, Yu Rong and others. If the ministers have any problems, they can only talk to Wang Shen and others first, and then Wang Shen will decide whether to tell the emperor. But, this Wang Shen is also a treacherous villain. He often does not report, but instead suppresses many memorials. He dare not provoke me now, otherwise, I am afraid that he will climb over my head after a long time."

"Did they do anything, or delayed anything?" Yang Xianrong moved closer to Liu Yao, feeling his masculine aura, which always made her feel more at ease.

"They are holding back the battle reports, delaying the delivery of military rations, and always looking for all kinds of messy things for the emperor to do for fun." Liu Yao became angry as he spoke. "Does a person change after becoming an emperor? He still has to eat, drink, defecate, urinate, sleep, and make plans for the political situation of the Han Dynasty. How can he do this?"

"Don't be angry, don't be angry, don't scare your son." Yang Xianrong quickly put Liu Yao's big hand on her bulging belly, "You have to speak softly, he can hear it."

"Oh." Liu Yao quickly shut up and gently patted Yang Xianrong's belly, causing her to giggle again, "Do you think it's a big melon? How can you pat it like this?"

"Oh oh oh." Liu Yao quickly changed to touching.

Yang Xianrong held his big hand and said softly, "Imperial power confuses people's minds. Isn't that the case with the people in Dajin? The situation is a little chaotic now, but it is still within control. Don't be anxious or angry. There will always be a way."
