"The Queen." Yuan Meiren stared at Yang Xianrong with wide eyes in disbelief.
Liu Yao, Zhang Liangxue and Zhang Du were also looking at her intently, with shock and confusion in their hearts.
Yang Xianrong shook Yuan Meiren's hand vigorously, as if he had confirmed something, and continued to ask: "If I ask you to continue playing shakuhachi, and at the Great Cold Banquet, will you be willing? Of course, you are likely to I feel like this again, but I promise that I won’t let you get into any danger!”
"Slave, may I ask why?" Yuan Meiren hesitated.
"In order to catch and kill Li Fei, Ru Meiren, Yanmei Ren, and the women who drowned in Yingliu Lake before, maybe there are others." Yang Xianrong increased the strength in his hands and was very sure.
"Who is it?" Zhang Liangxue lost his composure and knelt at Yang Xianrong's feet, "Queen, what happened? I'll catch you!"
"She killed so many people. I just want to know why." Yang Xianrong ignored Zhang Liangxue and still looked at Yuan Meiren. "Now, this is the only way I can use it. Can you do it?"
"...Slave..." Yuan Meiren's face turned red, "...Slave doesn't know."
"If you are unwilling, I will have other methods. But if you are willing, the culprit may be caught faster. However, it may cause you some danger. But I promise you that I will definitely protect your life. .Perhaps, if you want a thousand taels of gold, I should also save some, and you will have it too."
"...Empress, what you said..." Yuan Meiren suddenly laughed and took Yang Xianrong's little hand, "I tell you, in terms of age, I am afraid that I am old enough to be your mother. After staying in this deep palace for so many years, I have been unremarkable and half dead. If I can do something at this age, it would be good to do something extraordinary at the Great Winter Banquet. My slave, I have been looked down upon by others for most of my life. , my family members are gradually no longer coming to the palace, slave...I really want to do something earth-shattering!"
"Okay." Yang Xianrong nodded solemnly, "I will definitely keep you safe, Sister Yuan."
"Okay." Yuan Meiren's eyes flashed.
"Then let's talk about it now." Yang Xianrong had already turned to look at Zhang Du.
He is the oldest and has the most power and connections in the palace.
"Manager Zhang, this matter can only be left to you." Yang Xianrong stood up and walked to Zhang Du.
"You said it." Zhang Du's attitude was extremely respectful, "I will definitely try my best."
"It's not difficult." Yang Xianrong looked at him, "You can quietly go to the utility room by Yingliu Lake to have a look and identify this Aunt Yu. Then go and read this person's information and make inquiries. Who did she make friends with in the palace, or how did she get into the palace in the first place? The more detailed the better. But there is only one thing..."
Yang Xianrong lowered his voice, "You can only do this yourself, you can't do it for others."
Zhang Du agreed very quickly, without any hesitation at all. "When will I call you back?"
"Tonight, or if you find anything, come to me." Yang Xianrong's voice became even lower. "Don't let anyone see it. Even if you are from Tianyuan Palace, try to have as few people know about you as possible." came."
"Okay." Zhang Du bowed again.
Yang Xianrong half-supported him and asked, "Don't you have any questions to ask me?"
"If I don't ask, the Queen is naturally right."
Zhang Du's answer made Yang Xianrong's originally solemn face burst into laughter.
"It's wrong of you to say that. I will definitely be wrong sometimes."
"The old slave will also do it." Zhang Du was quite serious.
"Okay, then you go ahead." Yang Xianrong didn't want to say too much at this time, so he just asked him to do things first.
After that, she turned to Liu Yao.
"Brother Liu." This shout made Liu Yao straighten his back immediately.
"I am here."
"Keep your voice down." Yang Xianrong also laughed, "Don't be too loud."
"Oh, okay." Liu Yao's voice became very soft again, but his throat moved.
"I won't beat around the bush with you." Yang Xianrong pointed to Yuan Meiren on the bed, "During the Great Winter Banquet, you must protect Yuan Meiren and don't let her be in danger."
"Okay." Liu Yao nodded.
"Sister Yuan, Brother Liu is very good at martial arts. He will be a musician at the Great Winter Banquet. Don't worry." At this time, Yang Xianrong had already sketched a plan in his mind, and was slowly talking to them. take shape.
"Yeah." Yuan Meiren nodded.
"Where's your Shakuhachi?" Yang Xianrong asked again.
"Just keep the little pumpkin." Yuan Meiren glanced at the little maid in the corner of the room, "Go and get it for the Queen."
"Oh." The little maid Xiao Pumpkin stood up and rummaged through the cabinet to find a black shakuhachi, which was almost exactly the same as the one in Yang Xianrong's hand.
Just when Little Pumpkin handed the Shakuhachi plan to Yang Xianrong, Yang Xianrong suddenly shouted: "Cui Xi!"
Cuixi, who was still next to the cage fire, suddenly moved over and struck the little pumpkin on the back of the neck with one palm.
The little maid didn't even say a word and just lay down on the ground.
Cuixi's movements were also extremely fast, and she picked up the shakuhachi that was about to fall to the ground.
The whole movement was smooth and smooth, without any sloppiness.
Even Zhang Liangxue, who was right in front of him, stared at her actions with his eyes wide open and his mouth wide open, without any time to react.
Only Liu Yao moved very quickly and put his arm at Yang Xianrong's side.
When he saw clearly the shakuhachi in Cuixi's hand, his pupils tightened and he whispered: "Show me."
Cuixi looked at Yang Xianrong, who nodded.
This shakuhachi is larger and thicker than the one in Yang Xianrong's hand, but when struck on it, the sound is the same. Apparently, it's also made from a baby's spine.
"What happened?" Yuan Meiren was very nervous, looking at everything that happened in front of her, "Is the little pumpkin dead?"
"No, I just fainted temporarily." Cuixi kicked Little Pumpkin's legs to confirm.
"Sister Yuan, don't be afraid." Yang Xianrong thought for a while before saying, "I don't know how to explain this to you, but just remember to believe that I can keep you safe."
"Oh." Yuan Meiren could only nodded again.
"You should rest first. Take good care of yourself before you can perform at the Great Cold Banquet tomorrow night." Yang Xianrong smiled happily this time, as if he had solved a huge question in his heart. "Sister Yuan, let me go back and save a thousand taels of gold for you."
"It's okay, a hundred taels of gold will do." Yuan Meiren actually smiled.
