The regent's spoiled princess wakes up

Chapter 257
"Are you worried about me?" Honghu moved his chapped lips, and there was a faint light in his bloodshot eyes, "Master Hou, are you really worried about me? When you were with Yuelan, what you were thinking... was also Me, right?"

Chen Yang didn't expect her to say that, but since she thought so, let's go with the flow, "That's right, Honghu, I'm all about you, it's just that you... have suddenly changed your appearance recently, and I'm not used to it, so I... ...drunk and mistook that maid for you."

"Master Hou!" Leaning in his arms, Honghu suddenly raised his head and smiled evilly, "I have found a way to restore my youth!"

"Did you find the shark's fin bone?" Chen Yang asked in surprise.

"It was Master who saved me from Yang Xuan's knife just now. I learned from his mouth that one of the only merman fin bones left in the world was eaten by that old nun Jingyi, and the other was eaten by the regent princess Zhao Shuang. No wonder she can stay young forever..." Honghu said, taking a deep breath and falling into reverie, "If I can cook Zhao Shuang and eat it, I will definitely be like her!"

Chen Yang was shocked by her thoughts, the hands holding her shoulders trembled slightly, "You...you want to eat the regent princess?"

"What? You don't want to?" Honghu seemed to remember something, and stared at him with squinted eyes, "Master Hou, I heard that you led troops into the Regent's Palace last night and wanted to capture Zhao Shuang, but lost two Xuanwu battalions master."

"I... I didn't do it for you!" Chen Yang hugged her shoulders guiltily, "You went to arrest Yang Yun that night but didn't come back for a long time. I was afraid that you would fall into Yang Xuan's hands, so I thought... If I can take Zhao Shuang as a hostage, so wouldn't it be great if you come back instead? Who knows that Zhao Shuang is so skilled in martial arts, I actually underestimated her before..."

Chen Yang was so frightened that he was sweating profusely, thinking of the copper coins he picked up from the two dead people in the Xuanwu camp that night, the familiar name was engraved on the copper coins, and he couldn't help feeling flustered.

"Is that so?" Honghu stretched out two fingers with sharp nails, broke his chin and said, "Don't you just fall in love with that Zhao Shuang just because of the lust."

"Honghu!" Chen Yang bravely pushed her hand away, "Don't be suspicious all day long. You... Even if you want to eat shark fin bones, why don't you eat Jingyi, but Zhao Shuang?"

"That old nun in Jingyi has rough skin and thick flesh, so it must not taste good," Honghu opened his scarlet eyes, showing a ghostly smile, "I heard that Zhao Shuang is pregnant now, if her mother and child are released together Put it in a big pot and cook it, you and I will share the food, and you will surely live forever!"

"This... is this what your master said?" Chen Yang felt nauseous and dizzy.

"Master is indecisive, so naturally he doesn't agree. He said he would take me back to Yuanqing Mountain to rebuild a fairy body," Honghu sneered, stroking the stubble on his chin with his fingers, "I don't want to go back with him! It took another ten years for that fairy body to grow up, and I couldn't wait! So I ran back while the old man wasn't paying attention."

"Honghu, this..." Although Chen Yang is not a good person, he is not an evildoer after all, and he has never eaten anyone. He thinks this idea just sounds disgusting, "Honghu, the regent princess must be under the influence of Yang Xuan now." You'd better give up! If you act rashly and get caught by Yang Xuan again, it won't be so easy to escape."

"Master Hou, I have ordered Empress Dowager Liu to decree that the emperor is seriously ill, and Zen will be in your place. You will soon... be the founding monarch of the Chang Kingdom. Are you still afraid of Yang Xuan?" Honghu wrapped his arms around his waist and said angrily, "At that time, I want Yang Xuan to hand over Zhao Shuang to make up for the queen! If he dares to refuse, he will burn his Yang family to the ground!"

Chen Yang was so nervous that he wiped the sweat from his brow and felt that he was holding a lunatic woman in his arms, "Honghu, after all, Yang Xuan and that An Guogong still have soldiers and horses in their hands, and this matter needs to be discussed in the long term. Don't worry, wait for me to sit down." As soon as you ascend the throne, you will definitely find shark fin bones for you, why worry?"

"Well, let's talk about it when we get the Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom." Honghu leaned tiredly in his arms, closed his eyes and fell asleep, "I have been seriously injured these days, and I need to rest well. You should prepare to ascend the throne first." It's about the matter. After you have stabilized your situation, then order Yang Xuan to hand over Zhao Shuang."

After Yang Yun returned to Shangjing, Mrs. Jingyi told the news to Mrs. Rong who lived in the Qingyu Temple, Mrs. Rong was relieved, went to the palace to meet Zhao Shuang and Yang Yun, and brought the guards of Xu's mansion to The princess said goodbye.

Zhao Shuang didn't make things difficult for her, instead she asked Nanny Chang to reward her with a lot of gold, silver and horses, and send Rong Shi away from Shangjing.

A few days later, Empress Dowager Liu decreed that Emperor Zhao Hongyi of the Great Zhou Dynasty was seriously ill and unable to govern, so he voluntarily surrendered to Chen Yang, Marquis of Yongchang, and at the same time deprived Yang Xuan of the title of regent.

Chen Yang's enthronement ceremony was rushed, everything was kept simple, changed the country's name to Chang, made the former princess of Chuijin the Queen, and at the same time still respected the Empress Dowager Liu as the Empress Dowager, and named Zhao Hongyi the King of Righteousness.

One month after the enthronement ceremony, the small kingdoms in the southern border raised their flags against them, and the northern Liang kingdom also refused to surrender, and a few bold southern vassals were the first to raise troops and began to compete in the Central Plains.

The strange thing is that Yang Xuan, the former regent of the Great Zhou Dynasty, lived in seclusion on the grounds that his mother Li Shi died unexpectedly and there was a funeral in the mansion.

After finishing Li's funeral, Yang Xuan stayed in the palace for a few days to play with A Tao, did not go to court, and turned a deaf ear to outside affairs, even when he was deprived of the title of regent, he didn't seem to care at all. care.

Zhao Shuang rarely went out in the mansion, but occasionally when Hulan and Zhang Shier came to visit her, they would also tell her news from the army. He and Hu Xiaowei have also been guarding the vicinity of the Wangfu and Guogong's mansions, and the Long Xiaowei and Xuanwuying wells in Chen Yang's hands do not interfere with the river water.

The weather is fine in summer, and several plum trees in the courtyard of Hanguang Pavilion are ripe, and the fruits are red and purple, which makes A Tao's mouth water.

Zhao Shuang waved a round fan and patted her stomach with one hand. She sat on the balcony and looked at the two big ones and one small one downstairs, frowning slightly.

Yang Xuan and Pingfeng took A Tao to hunt plums to eat, and when they came back, they were sweating profusely, their clothes sticking to their backs, and they carried a bamboo basket in their hands.

Pingfeng hugged A Tao, sweating profusely but still grinning happily from ear to ear.

A Tao was about to learn to walk recently, her hands and feet were extremely strong, she scratched and scratched in Pingfeng's arms, arguing for plums.

The three went upstairs and entered the hall on the third floor, Yang Xuan put the basket on the ground, turned around and went into the clean room to change clothes.

Zhao Shuang came out to welcome her.

Looking at the basket of glowing red plums, A Tao immediately broke free from Pingfeng, crawled towards Zhao Shuang aggrieved, and pointed at the basket to indicate that he wanted to eat.

Zhao Shuang frowned displeasedly, and didn't hug him.

During this time, A Tao can already eat fruits and cakes. Ever since he discovered that fruits and cakes are delicious, the little guy has been thinking about eating them all day long.

Yang Xuan spent the past month eating, drinking and having fun with A Tao. Now, in Zhao Shuang's eyes, the father and son are playful and do not want to make progress.
