"The King of Chengdu wishes to see you." A slightly sharp voice unique to the young eunuch came over, causing everyone to look over in shock.
At the gate of Tianyuan Hall, a young eunuch from Huangmen was kneeling, with a look of fear on his face, and he pointed tremblingly at the door.
A tall man in a purple robe was standing at the door.
His face was calm, and he even showed a little smile.
"I didn't expect the emperor to be here. I would like to pay you a courtesy." Sima Ying was thoughtful and humble.
Emperor Sima Zhong also turned to look at him, and suddenly laughed again, "Hahahaha, brother Ying comes to play with me? That's great! Let's go and play!"
"Your Majesty, I'm here to talk to the Queen about something." Sima Ying saw the Emperor walking over, stood back without showing any trace, and still said respectfully, "It's about the deceased next to Feng Luan."
"Why isn't this shit over yet?" Sima Zhong didn't hug Sima Ying and was startled for a moment. After hearing what he said again, his expression changed again, "It's so annoying! I don't have time to care about such things. You Tell the queen, it’s really annoying.”
After speaking, Sima Zhong actually left again.
Zhang Du bowed and followed quickly.
When passing by Sima Ying, she bowed again as a courtesy.
The eunuch guards who followed the emperor made no sound, and followed quietly and quickly.
In an instant, silence returned at the entrance of Tianyuan Hall.
Only the north wind blew and it was very cold.
Yang Xianrong looked at all this with his mouth open, and couldn't help but clenched and let go of his hands in his sleeves.
"The Empress, I want to invite the King of Chengdu to come in." Zhang Liangxue reminded in a low voice, still kneeling at his feet.
Yang Xianrong looked at Sima Ying standing at the door.
He was not afraid of the cold and still stood upright.
It really corresponds to the saying that everyone has said: The King of Chengdu is a good husband with a jade tree facing the wind, a majestic and elegant person.
"Well, please invite the King of Chengdu to come in." When she turned around, she closed her eyes and suddenly felt a little irritable in her heart.
Zhang Liangzhao waved his hand to the young eunuchs at the door, signaling them to invite Sima Ying in quickly.
He stood up with great effort and limped to greet him.
"Master Zhang, please don't move around too much. This injury still needs to be healed." Sima Ying glanced at Zhang Liangxue, and then walked to Yang Xianrong, "I will pay tribute to the queen."
"Oh, no gifts." Yang Xianrong has become quite familiar with this set of palace rules, and finally there is nothing wrong with it.
"I came here because of the corpse found last night. After all, the queen also saw it..." Sima Ying looked at her, hesitated slightly in her eyes, and continued: "That is a female corpse, suspected to be Lei Dayong's wife Lin Family."
"What?" This time, it was Yang Xianrong's turn and his voice became louder.
"I have asked Lei Dayong to take his daughter to identify the body. I thought that yesterday the Queen and Grandma Ruan inspected the body. I can also go and see this newly discovered body..."
"...I met them yesterday, so I helped Grandma Ruan write it. Now this is against the rules." Yang Xianrong also talked about the rules, with a troubled expression on his face, "It's not convenient for me to leave the palace again. Isn't it appropriate?" suitable."
"I have just discussed it with the emperor's uncle. After all, this matter involves Feng Luan. The queen also saw it yesterday. Going to see it again today may speed up the detection and trial of the case. Therefore, the emperor's uncle agrees."
"Oh?" Yang Xianrong was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but look at Sima Ying several times.
Sima Ying continued very gently: "If the Queen is afraid, she doesn't have to go."
"Don't be afraid." Yang Xianrong sat up straight, "I'll just change my clothes and go. No, I'd better go incognito."
She thought of the group of eunuchs and attendants who were following Sima Zhong just now. They were really a long group.
"Okay." Sima Ying's face was still as smooth as jade, "I'm waiting here for the Queen."
"That's no need. You go to the West Palace Gate. I'll be there soon." I came back from here yesterday, so naturally I still have to leave here quietly today.
Once raw, twice cooked.
Yang Xianrong is really an activist.
This time, she directly changed into her ordinary lady's dress and wore a very simple red-and-phoenix bun. She looked as delicate and lovely as an unmarried woman from the Jin Dynasty.
Naturally, Zhang Liang was unable to accompany him. Lan Xiang wanted to follow, but was stopped by Yang Xianrong, "You should keep an eye on the palace. If anyone comes, stop them first."
"Okay." Lan Xiang nodded, "Girl, be careful."
This is the conversation they had countless times in their hometown in Taishan County.
Yang Xianrong is playful and always wants to run out to watch the fun.
Lanxiang, who had a similar appearance and figure to her, pretended to be her and sat in the room reading a book and sleeping.
For a moment, Lanxiang's eyes flashed with tears.
Yang Xianrong went out in a hurry and didn't notice.
The cries in the Beijun Mansion were loud, and it was Lei Dayong and his daughter Lei Xiaoni who were howling heartbreakingly in the back hall.
Zhu Mo stood in the yard, ignoring the cold wind and just pacing.
Seeing Yang Xianrong coming over, he hurriedly bowed and said in a low voice: "The Queen."
"No gifts, we are still in private today." Yang Xianrong nodded, "Where's Grandma Ruan? I heard the prince give you an idea on the way here."
"At the work place."
"Where's the body?"
"It's also at the work site and is still being inspected."
"Well, then I'll go take a look." Yang Xianrong couldn't hear the cries of Lei Dayong and the others, so he sighed before turning to the prison.
Sima Ying followed her, "I'll go help too."
"Let's take a look at the situation first. It's a female corpse... Aren't you afraid of collision, the prince?" Yang Xianrong paused and looked at Sima Ying, "I remember tomorrow is the prince's birthday, right?"
"Oh? How did the Queen know?" A trace of surprise flashed in Sima Ying's eyes.
"Before entering the palace, you always have to learn who is in the Sima family." Yang Xianrong smiled bitterly, "It's just that there are a lot of people, so it's a bit complicated to carry them."
"That's true." Sima Ying chuckled imperceptibly, "Our Sima family is also a big family. I have more than twenty imperial uncles, and I can't remember them all."
"This is true." Yang Xianrong agreed with this statement, "So, Prince, please don't go. It's not good."
"So what?" Sima Ying looked at her, "I am alone, so why should I be afraid of dead bodies?"
"...This..." Yang Xianrong was choked by these words, thinking, is this person really unreasonable? I kindly reminded him that he would still say it.
"Haven't you heard of it, Queen?"
"A lonely man?"
"Yes. People in the world say that Sima Ying is charming and free-spirited, but she is a lonely widower. Her life is full of punishment, including punishment for her parents, brothers, wife and children..." Sima Ying's beautiful face was actually full of smiles.
Looking at Yang Xianrong, he couldn't help but shudder, and reluctantly said: "There is no guarantee about fortune telling..."
"Then the Queen is still a thousand-year-old phoenix?!" Sima Ying's smile deepened.
Yang Xianrong couldn't help but take half a step back, with countless thoughts passing through his mind.
This Sima Ying was not as gentle and elegant as she appeared on the surface. Every word he said to her was filled with disdain and ridicule. Is it because of her position as queen? Or, it's not her, but Sima Zhong behind her, or Sun Xiu?
