It’s hard to break a phoenix’s destiny

At this moment, the fried dough sticks in Yang Xianrong's hand no longer smelled good at all.

Yang Xiankang also put down the bowl in his hand. There was still one ball left and he couldn't eat it anymore.

Sima Ying's words seemed to put Zhang Du, the chief manager of the palace, to death.

Zhang Du was very calm, kneeling on the spot without crying or fussing or shouting.

He looked at Sima Ying, the young prince of the Sima royal family.

"So, do you have to take responsibility?" Sima Ying added.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Zhang only acted according to the rules. He couldn't take care of Jia Nanfeng's matters at that time." Zhang Liangxue had already knelt down and said anxiously, "You also know the situation on the Emperor's side. Mr. Zhang is responsible for these matters." He has worked diligently and conscientiously to protect the emperor from being humiliated by Jia Nanfeng, and has always worked hard to maintain the dignity of the imperial power. How can we be held accountable?"

"Can't you?" Sima Ying chuckled, "The Great Cold Banquet, Yingliu Lake, Shakuhachi, each of these has to be borne by someone. The Emperor? The Queen? The King of Zhao? The King? ?”

It turned out that I wanted to find someone to take responsibility.

Yang Xianrong nodded secretly. Killing Mu Zhaozhong would not stop the Youyou crowd.The families of the deceased concubines will still be in trouble for a while.It no longer makes any sense to blame it on Jia Nanfeng.

So, now we need to find someone in the palace to take responsibility, accept the punishment, and then tell the world that the matter has been resolved.

What a calculation.

Yang Xianrong glanced at Sima Ying and continued to eat the remaining half of the fried dough sticks.When Yang Xiankang saw his third sister starting to eat again, he quickly stuffed the uncooked meatball into his mouth.

"I am willing to take the responsibility." Zhang Du said very calmly, "Just hand over the position of chief steward and protect the emperor wholeheartedly."

"Well, you are right to think so." Sima Ying was very satisfied with Zhang Du's attitude and rhetoric, "That's it. From now on, Zhang Du will be relieved of all his duties and will stay in Zhengyang Palace for future use. As for the chief manager, Let’s leave this position to Zhang Liang for the time being.”

"What?" Zhang Liang was so frightened that he fell to the ground.

Yang Xianrong had just swallowed half of the fried dough stick, and now he was choking.

"What? Isn't it okay?" Sima Ying's smile was still a little bit charming.

"I don't know how to do it," Zhang Liang said with a grin, "I am just a boss, and I haven't even done my job well yet. How can I sit in the position of the chief executive?"

"Why not?" Sima Ying glanced at Yang Xianrong, "You are the queen's personal attendant, and now the queen has the final say in the harem. The queen is smart and has solved so many murder cases in a short period of time. She will manage it. A harem is also a matter of course.”

"Cough cough cough." This time it was Yang Xianrong's turn to really cough. Why is something wrong?As a prince, he mobilized things in the palace. Does he have such great power?Or, does he want to be like Sima Lun?

Yang Xianrong touched his heart, reached out to his second brother Yang Xiankang and asked for his half bowl of meatball soup. He drank it and then felt better.

"Okay, the Queen has worked hard yesterday. You asked me to bring the golden booklet before, and I did it regardless of the reason. I only hope that when the Queen comes to see me in the future, she will also tell me the reason in advance. , don’t inform or act suddenly.”

What you say is that you are really learning now and selling it now.

Yang Xianrong pursed his lips and suddenly laughed. "This matter is indeed my fault. It won't happen again in the future. I hope your lord will do more."

"Yes." Sima Ying turned to look at Yuan Jianshuo, "If anything happens in the future, I have to tell the Queen."

"Yes." Yuan Jianshuo responded immediately. "I have another question." Sima Ying was still polite, but there was always a sense of alienation that was hard to see through.

Yang Xianrong still smiled charmingly, "You tell me."

"Why do you know that Mu Zhaozhong is not an eunuch? In other words, why do you suspect him?"

"Oh, because there will be him at every murder scene. Whether it's Li Fei, Ru Meiren, or when I was at Aunt Yu's place, or when Yuan Meiren fell into the pond, he was always there, and it was also his first time. It was such a coincidence that someone discovered something was wrong. So, I thought about asking Manager Zhang, and he said that this person had not been in the palace for a long time, and he was in charge as soon as he came in, so I kept an eye out. One more thing, Actually..." Yang Xianrong paused for a moment before lowering his voice slightly, "There are some slight differences between the eunuch's walking and the normal walking. I just paid attention to it."

"Third sister..." Yang Xiankang shouted softly.

"Well, the prince asked, and I answered truthfully." Yang Xianrong was very sincere, "If the prince has any questions, I will answer them."

"It's been cold these days. The Queen must be in the palace." Sima Ying's expression softened a lot.

"Well, I think it's time to copy scriptures and pray for blessings." Yang Xianrong nodded again obediently.

"That's it. The matter has been settled, so I won't disturb the Queen's rest." Sima Ying stood up, "Commander Yuan, check all the eunuchs and don't let any one go. Also, these palace maids and nuns are also Question and interrogate me carefully."

"Yes!" Yuan Jianshuo agreed very quickly.

"The food has been brought, and people have seen it. Won't Mr. Erlang of the Yang family leave?" Sima Ying turned to Yang Xiankang again, obviously giving an order to expel the guest.

"But I still want to say a few more words to Third Sister." Yang Xiankang looked at Sima Ying's face and suddenly felt timid.

"Go to the Beijun Mansion to report first, and come back later." Sima Ying looked at him, her black eyes getting deeper and deeper.

"Go, let's go see Lian'er and bring her some delicious food." Yang Xianrong pulled Yang Xiankang's sleeves, "It's cold, let Sister E buy her two new clothes. "

"Oh, okay, okay." Yang Xiankang nodded.

"Then let's go." Sima Ying bowed her hands to Yang Xianrong and took Yuan Jianshuo away first.

Yang Xiankang didn't dare to stay longer, so he had to say to Cui Xi: "If the food is cold, it must be heated up. Third sister cannot be allowed to eat cold food."

"Okay." Cuixi responded.

"By the way, the porridge should be heated in clay pots. Don't use those gold utensils, as the taste will change." Yang Xiankang looked at the furnishings of Tianyuan Palace again and sighed, "Third sister, this room is like this It’s so luxurious that my eyes are dazzled by it, can you put a few pieces away?”

"That doesn't seem possible. It's like this in the palace. The emperor's side is even more golden, and even the toilets are made of golden silk." Yang Xianrong covered his mouth and laughed, "Second brother, don't be like this, look back, my lord." You’re making fun of us again.”

"Hey, I'm just a rustic person." Yang Xiankang waved his hand, "Let's go."

"Yes." When Yang Xianrong looked outside the door, he found that Sima Ying was still standing at the door, probably waiting for Yang Xiankang to leave the palace together.

He should have heard what he said just now.

So what?

After they all left, Yang Xianrong said to Zhang Du and Zhang Liangxue, who had been kneeling on the ground, "Get up, I'm afraid these days will become more and more difficult."
