On the second day, it was not only the legend in Luoyang city that the king of Chengdu conquered his wife, one of the brides would die after marrying, and the other would die after marrying. There are even legends that Sima Ying was born a lonely evil star. Anyone who comes near him will die, and anyone who touches him will die immediately... By the afternoon, there was no one even at the gate of the palace. People in Luoyang City would rather take a detour. Don't walk past his door.
Sima Ying did not leave the house and kept herself locked in the room.
Wu Wei Zhao Zhuo stood guard at the door all night. Brunch and lunch were delivered to the door, but they were not sent in.
Everyone in the palace has dismantled all the items used for the wedding. Now it looks a bit desolate and cold, with white snow covering the roof, making it look even more ominous.
Zhao Zhuo walked around Sima Ying's door several times, and finally found someone to go into the palace to find Yang Xianrong to give her a message.
Yang Xianrong was not idle from last night to this afternoon. She quietly asked Sun E to come into the palace, citing Yang Xianlian's lack of clothes as the reason.
Sun E's eyes were swollen from crying, and she kept crying while kneeling in Tianyuan Palace, looking extremely sad. After all, Sun Xiaohe is also her sister, and the bond they grew up with is very deep.
"Sister E, get up and talk." Yang Xianrong pulled her down and said softly: "I have to take care of this matter. Even if it's not the Sun family's business, I still have to find out where the problem lies."
"Xiao He has always been in good health. Until she married Sima Ying, she was not particularly happy. Instead, she was a little worried."
"Afraid that he will overpower your wife?"
"Yes." Sun E lowered her voice, "I don't know if you know that Sima Ying has killed four women..."
"Listen to what he said." Yang Xianrong sighed, "This matter is too mysterious. I will ask Zhenren Xu later. First, tell me about Xiaohe's status these days."
"The marriage was actually very sudden. Although my grandfather told me about it, he only said it briefly. At that time, our sisters still laughed and said that my sister was marrying high and became a princess."
Sun Xiaohe is fifteen years old and extremely cute. She is the youngest granddaughter of the Sun family, so she is naturally very favored. She is in good health and has never been seriously ill since she was a child. Instead, she is a "monkey" who jumps up and down and cannot stop for a quarter of an hour.
Although getting married was a bit rushed, she knew before that her marriage would not be decided by herself, so it didn't matter who she married.
The items used were all backups of Queen Yang Xianrong of the Jin Dynasty, and the Sun family was very satisfied. Sima Ying was rich, so the betrothal gift was delivered to the Sun family very quickly, and the Sun family immediately prepared the dowry... Everyone felt that although this matter was rushed, it was also very good.
The day before the wedding, Sun Xiaohe went to bed after trying on her wedding dress. The next morning, I was full of energy, got on the sedan with a sweet smile, and there was nothing unusual about it.
Sun E went back yesterday and specifically asked the dowry mother and her maid. They all said that there was nothing unusual about Sun Xiaohe. She didn't even cry and went out happily.
The sedan chair sent to her by Sun Xiaohe's father and the sedan curtain lowered by her own hands were all normal.
It took about three sticks of incense to walk from Sun's house to the palace, which was a little farther. Because it snowed heavily again, the bearers walked slower.
Afraid of delaying the auspicious moment, they did not dare to stop along the way. They carried the sedan to the door in one breath. There are quite a few people watching the excitement on both sides of the road, but everyone's attention is on the dowry. Although it is not Shili Hongzhuang, there are still a lot of them.
While crying, Sun E talked about what happened in the past few days, and it didn't sound strange. But it can also be seen that she doesn't like this matter, and she is still worried about the rumors about Sima Yingke's wife.
"I won't say anything else. You are so smart and you understand everything. We girls really have no control over our fate. If we marry the right person in this life, we may still be able to drink hot porridge later in life, but if we marry the wrong person, It's okay for people to suffer and be tired, but now they don't even have their lives." Sun E was very emotional and started crying again.
Yang Xianrong didn't know how to comfort him, so he had to ask Lan Xiang to get some gold and silver items, saying that they were for Sun E and her mother in case of emergency, "Anyway, it is true to have money in your hands. I and I I have never met Xiaohe, but from a biological perspective, she is also my sister, so I will definitely not ignore this matter. Now you can put the money away secretly, and don't make any announcement."
"This can't be done." Sun E refused.
Yang Xianrong made a serious face, "Let me put it bluntly, will grandfather's money be given to us? If Xiaohe is missing something, do we still have to go to grandfather? My sister has it!"
Sun E looked at her, tears falling down, and she burst into tears again.
After sending Sun E away, Yang Xianrong called Yuan Jianshuo over again, "Where are the people of the He family now?"
"He Jiunian has a house in the north of the city. All the people they brought here live there."
"Have you known He for a long time?"
"Not too familiar. Qin Chaoge is familiar with him because they live close to each other and would drink together if nothing happens." Yuan Jianshuo also sighed, "He Jiunian is actually quite rich..."
"What do you mean?" Yang Xianrong glanced at him. Now Yuan Jianshuo is no longer as serious as before, and he is much more familiar with her. After all, Yang Xianrong often asked people to bring some food to Yuan Jianshuo so that he could take good care of himself quickly.
"I also heard from Qin Chaoge that He Jiunian didn't want to be a military guard at all, but he was the bastard in the family, so he couldn't say anything. His father was quite strong and said that letting him work with King Zhao would also be convenient for the family. Business. In addition, his father also promoted his biological mother from concubine to madam, so naturally he must give back to the family..."
"How come I heard that his sister is not biological..."
"Skinny horses in the south of the Yangtze River... There are quite a few such things. Many wealthy families have them, including King Zhao's family..." Yuan Jianshuo's voice became much softer when he said this.
"Hey, it's so messy." Yang Xianrong could no longer use her forehead to relieve her dizziness and brain swelling. She began to rub her face. Yuan Jianshuo looked a little tempted to laugh, but she still held it back. "Zhenren Xu is in the Xuanji Hall. King Zhao is talking to him about the rituals. I heard that the corpses are to be taken to Hongguang Temple, because it is not suitable for anyone to put them there..."
"What do you think will happen in this matter..." Yang Xianrong hesitated.
"The story of the King of Chengdu suppressing his wife must have been spread before. But at that time, the King of Chengdu had been in Shu and did not live here. I heard that the brides also died of sudden illness, and the officials in Shu also The autopsy report was given and there was nothing abnormal.”
"Actually, what Grandma Ruan said about being too happy, even though the reason is ridiculous, it still makes sense. At least when I got married, my heart was beating so fast when I was walking into the palace. I was really scared. of……"
"Empress... That's how you walked into the palace carrying your skirt. I will never forget it. For this courage, I am willing to follow you for the rest of my life..." Yuan Jianshuo also took this moment to express his loyalty. , Yang Xianrong had no choice but to ask Zhang Liang to pour him another bowl of ginseng soup, and forced him to drink it all. Even after chewing up the ginseng seeds and swallowing them, he was told to do what he should do and hurried off. .
