In the flower hall, only the smoke of lightly burning incense danced, and no one spoke. However, after a very short period of silence, Sima Ying asked again: "May I ask the queen, who do you want me to marry?"
"Look at the maids around me, marry whichever one you like." Yang Xianrong was quite generous, "Cui Xi and Lan Xiang have been with me since they were young, although they don't know all the rules in the palace. , but they have learned very quickly recently. Although Luzhu is a little older, he has good looks and a careful heart. He is also an old man in the palace and knows the rules better. Huizhu is actually mature, has a strong body, and is probably able to give birth to a son. …”
"...Huizhu is not He Jiunian's woman?" Sima Ying followed Yang Xianrong's train of thought, "He Jiunian is the concubine of the emperor's uncle. This relationship is not easy to deal with."
"Hey, it turns out you like those who can give birth to sons." The smiling Yang Xianrong had already stood up, looked around at the furnishings in the flower hall, and glanced at the scrolls and letters stacked under the bookshelf and the flowers blooming in the white porcelain vase. Dacong Wintersweet said, "Well then, Huizhu. On the day of the Lantern Festival, I will send someone over to you. Just remember to open the door. By the way, take off that white lantern. I will discuss this matter later with you." Just tell Sun Xiu, it’s okay.”
"What?" Sima Ying's eyes widened, and she reacted instantly, "What on earth is going on? Queen, you need to explain this matter clearly to me! Don't plot against me!"
In the end, Sima Ying was no longer polite and distant, and even had a coquettish tone, which made Liu Yao shake his arms and rub his shoulders. The basket of delicious food just now was indeed quite heavy.
"I'm not plotting against you, I'm plotting against the vicious murderer." Yang Xianrong touched the sachet in his purse. There was a Styraxianum pill in it, and its faint aroma was the same as Sima Ying's. She was slightly dazed and looked at Sima Ying and Liu Yao standing in front of her, their eyes full of inquiry. "Let's put it this way, I absolutely don't believe in the theory of wife-killing. The brides before you died very strangely, and you know it. So, if one or two died, there is a reason why they died of sudden illness, or someone deliberately killed them. Take revenge on the bride herself. But with so many deaths and ugly deaths, there must be a murderer. And this murderer is not targeting your bride, but you!"
"...He can kill me directly. Why harm other people's lives?" Sima Ying added, "Isn't it better and more direct to use real swords and guns?"
"Perhaps, people can't bear to part with her?" Yang Xianrong looked at Sima Ying's elegant and handsome face. It had been a little haggard these days, but it was still extremely beautiful. Black vertical hair, slanting handsome eyebrows, slender and sharp black eyes, thin and lightly pursed lips, sharp outlines, tall and slender but not rugged figure, cold, arrogant and dignified yet domineering. People exude a faint strength when they are alone.
Liu Yao on the side had a completely different appearance. His black pupils were as clear and dazzling as obsidian, shining with awe-inspiring heroic aura. Under his seemingly calm eyes, there was a sharp, drunken look hidden behind him. Zhang Duan's strong, handsome face with deep contours, like a sculpture, is even more imposing. Even when he rolls up his sleeves, it reminds people of a tiger pouncing on its prey on the grassland, full of danger.
"So?" Sima Ying asked again.
"So, listen to me. I am helping you get rid of your reputation as a wife-suppressant. I am not asking you to lose anything. I can even help you improve your reputation among the people... But you must not let me down. I hope you can do a good job for the emperor." Yang Xianrong took back his thoughts and turned to look at Zhao Zhuo, the military guard who walked in. "There are fragrant chickens in the basket. Just give your prince three of them. I will definitely Let the prince eat it, it is very delicious. I will take the rest back to the emperor."
"Yes." Zhao Zhuo immediately leaned over to get the roast chicken, being very obedient.
"The Empress... tell me more, please?" Sima Ying's trailing voice was also quite giving people goosebumps. Yang Xianrong shook his arms, rubbed his shoulders, and even touched his face. Then he replied: "Wear a red wedding robe, and have many armed guards. The door will be full of people. No matter who the murderer is, he will be killed without mercy. Remember, this person is a murderer!"
"Do you know who it is?" Sima Ying was still very keen.
"It still needs to be confirmed, because I still don't know who did it." Yang Xianrong sighed softly, "Okay, that's it. I want to go out through the corner door, so don't send me away."
Sima Ying nodded this time, because he saw that only Yang Xianrong and Liu Yao came out, so he understood that she wanted to avoid being seen. "Okay, I will comply with the Queen's decree."
He didn't ask any more questions. He hadn't been with Yang Xianrong for a long time, but he could guess to some extent that Yang Xianrong had already planned it, and it must be a hit. All he could do was do as she said.
After leaving the corner gate of the palace, Yang Xianrong said to Liu Yao, "Since it is my maid who is getting married, she must go out from the Yang family. Brother Liu, please ask my second brother to come into the palace, and I will explain the matter more clearly. .”
"Let Qin Chaoge come with us." Liu Yao thought for a while, "Do you really want Huizhu to marry her?"
"How is that possible? She belongs to He Jiunian."
"Then what are you going to do? Is there any danger?" Liu Yao was quite serious, "We can't kill any more people."
"How could I not know about this?" Yang Xianrong looked at Liu Yao with his big black and white eyes, and said in a very low voice: "I said I am marrying Huizhu, but there will be no one in the sedan. I am just waiting for the murderer to show up. .”
"How is that possible? If he saw that the sedan chair was empty, he might have run away long ago."
"So it needs to be carried out from the Yang family house, and no one can see it." Yang Xianrong whispered, "Just ask the second brother to open the door of the hall."
"Third sister, you are trying to tear down the family. You can't do it." Liu Yao didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "We need to plan this matter again. Don't do this."
"You go to the second brother first and ask him to prepare the sedan chair. I still have fifty taels in my hand. You can buy some things first. Please do everything." Yang Xianrong even gave him his wallet, but he wanted to After thinking about it, he even gave him the sachet of Suhexiang Pill, "You take this with you. Although it is just a sachet, this pill can save lives at critical moments, so don't use it casually."
"This is too valuable." Liu Yao was a little overwhelmed and his hand stopped in mid-air. Yang Xianrong had already stuffed the sachet into his arms, "You can smell this scent from time to time, and it also has the effect of improving your eyesight and refreshing your mind. Just don't leave your body."
"Go ahead, I can just carry the rest of the roasted chicken. You go find the second brother first." Yang Xianrong took the basket in his hand, took out three roasted chickens, and carried them in his hand, "Others It's all yours. Wrap it in oil paper and touch some more salt. It should be able to save for a few days. This second brother also knows that he will teach you. We two used to do this often. "
"Third sister..." Liu Yao didn't know what to say because of the hesitation and sadness in Yang Xianrong's eyes, "Is there anything else?"
"What if Sima Ying rebels?" Yang Xianrong said this directly without any hesitation, which made Liu Yao's mouth open wide, but he did not dare to make a sound.
