As soon as the sky was bright, there was a lot of noise outside, Yang Xianrong woke up from a dream that was not steady, looked around the familiar room, shouted "Su Chen", and then got out of bed. Su Chen came in from outside in response, and saw that Yang Xianrong had already gotten up, so he quickly grabbed a piece of clothing and put it on her.

"What about Mother?" Yang Xianrong asked.

"Madame slept on Archie's side last night." After Su Chen finished speaking, he beckoned the girls to call for hot water before saying, "Ah Qi may have been caught in a nightmare last night, and suddenly woke up crying to find his mother, and Mrs. went over to accompany him." ”

Yang Xianrong looked at Su Chen's puffy eyes and dark circles, and asked, "Didn't you sleep all night last night?" Why is your face so bad? She stretched out her hand and touched her face, and sure enough, the temperature was very high, so she immediately took her to rest, and said, "How can you hold on when you are sick?" Let Lin Xin and Lin Shuang follow me. ”

Su Chen was still unwilling, but he couldn't resist the sheep sacrifice, so he still went down to rest. After Yang Xianrong finished grooming and getting dressed, he walked outside, Sun had already gotten up, saw her come out, and hurriedly asked, "Did you sleep well last night?" ”

"Groggy and dreaming all the time." Yang Xianrong took Lin's arm and said: "It seems to be related to my sister-in-law, she has been talking in my ear, I want to wake up but can't wake up, I finally woke up, and I am very tired." ”

"Don't go over there today, go back to the palace after resting." Sun pulled the sheep and sat down, and then called someone to eat, and said: "You shouldn't have come out, since the emperor favored you and let you come back, you can't stay too long, so as not to fall into the hands of others." ”

Yang Xianrong nodded sullenly and forced himself into a little millet porridge. As soon as he finished eating, Lin Xin walked in and said, "Niangniang, I want to see the princess." ”

The sheep was happy and hurriedly asked someone to invite. After Sima Zun and Liu Ling got married, they were named the king of loyalty, but they did not receive errands in the court, and they lived a leisurely life. Liu Ling was named the princess, and after marriage, she and her husband have always been harmonious, which really makes young women envious.

After Liu Ling came in, Yang Xianrong grabbed her, didn't give her a chance to salute, only let her sit down, and said: "I heard my mother say when I came back last night, my sister took care of her here for a day yesterday, and my sister is really grateful." ”

"Even if you are sisters, do you need to say such kind words?" Liu Ling greeted Sun with a smile, and said: "Yesterday, there were some good ginseng in the house, and we didn't eat it much when we were young, so we took some to make up for my wife's body." ”

"Oh, this kid really has a heart." Sun smiled and said to the sheep: "You are not at home, but Ling'er often comes to see me." ”

"It should be." Liu Ling said busily.

"Yes, I'm not polite." Sun got up as he spoke, and said, "You two sisters are talking, I'll go over there and have a look." ”

After sending Sun away, Liu Ling came over and grabbed Yang Xianrong's hand and asked, "Are you okay?" I was also bluffed when I got the news, a good person, even said that it was gone, I know that you have always been close to your sister-in-law, and this is also a big deal for you, but I didn't expect you to come back in person. ”

"I came back secretly, and I don't want to make a big fuss." Yang Xianrong sighed and said, "Anyway, everyone has their own life, and people will always have such a day, sooner or later, isn't it?" ”

"Why are you so pessimistic all of a sudden? It's not like the Rong'er I know who is not afraid of heaven and earth. Liu Ling said, "What's wrong?" Isn't it comfortable in the palace? ”

Yang Xianrong shook his head and said, "No, only."

It's because I've been used to seeing life and death in the past year, and I'm just a little touched. After that, she asked Liu Ling with a smile: "I didn't ask you how you are doing after marriage, I just heard rumors that those girls in the boudoir are envious that you have a considerate and gentle husband." ”

Liu Ling was a little embarrassed, but he also said generously: "This is true. ”

"Then, the princess of Chengdu is a good person?" Yang Xianrong asked again.

Liu Ling nodded, Chengdu Princess Le is a cheerful person, likes to be lively at home, does not love children and grandchildren are bound by the rules, dare not laugh, cry dare not cry, is also kind to her daughters-in-law, not too picky, and likes to chat with them about some fashionable jewelry or clothes on the street today. Therefore, the daughters-in-law are not afraid of her, and often gather in one place to joke and play, if it is a festival, it is even more lively.

Yang Xianrong was relieved when she heard Liu Ling say this, no matter what the king of Chengdu was planning, at least Liu Ling was living a good life now, even if one day, the Chengdu palace fell, she could protect her and Sima Zun's life.

"Actually, it's not that I don't want to contact my sister," Yang Xianrong finally spoke, her face was a little embarrassed, but her eyes kept observing Liu Ling. She said: "My sister doesn't care about the affairs of the court, but you should also know that the dispute between me and the king of Chengdu was originally caused by the king of Hejian, but he dragged the king of Chengdu into the water, I am always worried that the king of Chengdu will mind the exchanges between us, so I don't dare to have any close contacts with my sister, for fear that they will be angry with you because of this." ”

"We rarely talk about the DPRK and China at home," Liu Ling said, "and you don't have to worry about me." ”

"Sister," Yang Xianrong suddenly approached Liu Ling, held her hand tightly, and said, "But there are some things I have to say, and I also want to remind my sister." ”

Liu Ling frowned tightly, and shook his head slightly at Yang Xianrong, speaking of which, the two of them are close relatives, but why can't this Sima family be so integrated? Previously, the king of Chengdu and the king of Changsha were close, and the princess and county lord of the king of Changsha often came to the palace of Chengdu, and they also got along well, but this closeness has changed, but after a few days of hard work, the two families have become enemies, and the middle is also mixed with sheep sacrifices.

"Sister Ling," Yang Xianrong said weakly: "We will have a fierce battle with the King of Chengdu sooner or later, and I understand that my sister and King Zhongjing are unwilling to be involved, but you can't be alone, after all, you and the King of Chengdu are one family." ”

"You mean to say," Liu Ling opened his mouth, his voice trembling, "only one of the two of you can live, are you asking me to choose a side?" ”

Yang Xianrong smiled bitterly and shook her head, choosing a side, is it possible for her to pull Liu Ling over? In the final analysis, they are sisters with different surnames, but she is indeed the young grandmother of Chengdu Palace, and Yang Xianrong will not be so self-conscious as to think that Liu Ling will abandon her family and accompany her.

"I'm just making a promise to my sister, if there really is such a day," Yang Xianrong said slowly: "If we win, I will definitely keep my sister and King Zhongjing, and if you want to leave Luoyang at that time, I promise to let you go, so that you can live the life you want." Yang Xianrong looked at Liu Ling, holding Liu Ling's hand was cold and wet, she tried to control her uneasy mood, and continued in as calm a tone as possible: "Sister, I don't want to do this, it's just that we noticed that the King of Hejian and the King of Chengdu have acted differently recently, I think, it may not be far from that day, I wanted to find an opportunity to invite my sister into the palace and explain everything to you, but now I don't have to bother with that." ”

Liu Ling burst into tears when he heard this, and muttered: "One wrong step is already regrettable, the two of us are wrong step by step, why do you want to enter the palace as the queen, and why don't I marry Sima Zun?" Otherwise, how could we sisters fall into this dilemma. ”

Yang Xianrong wiped away Liu Ling's tears and looked at her quietly, after Liu Ling got married, she really lived a good life, you can see from her face that her skin is more radiant and moisturized, and her face is rounder than before, and Liu Ling's choice today is just for herself, so that she can still live a life of love and harmony between husband and wife in the future.

Liu Ling sighed and said: "The king of Chengdu has been really different from the past recently, his family doesn't know what he does, and the family doesn't let him ask where he goes, but he has twice brought back strangers to his home, I remember the appearance of one of them, there is a scar from the left eyebrow to the right ear, it should be injured by the sword, it is very terrifying." Although I am not sure, but I remember hearing my father say that there is a tiger hall in Chang'an City, and the people gathered in it are all people who have committed crimes, and they are not recognized by outsiders because of the punishment of black faces, so they were recruited by a person called 'Tiger Master', these people are all collecting money to do things, or killing people or destroying people, as long as the money is given, there is nothing they can't do, among them, the 'Tiger Master' My father has dealt with, and it is a person with a scar on his face. ”

Yang Xianrong fell into deep thought, if it is really as Liu Ling said, the king of Hejian and the king of Chengdu invited the people of Chang'an Tiger Hall to Luoyang, naturally it will not be to raise troops to use them, it is very likely that they want to assassinate, as long as Sima is killed, there is no one who can oppose them in the court, and then the king of Hejian will abolish Sima Zhen and call himself emperor, and then set up Sima Ying, the king of Chengdu, as the prince, it is a logical thing.

Yang Xianrong was worried, even if she knew what the two kings wanted to do, but she didn't know when they planned to assassinate, and she didn't know how many people they had contacted, let alone their specific plan. Judging from the feedback from the outside and Liu Ling's account, the king of Chengdu often goes to places that others don't know, and he is preparing for this matter, and it has been a while now, so it must be inevitable, how should they guard against and fight back?

"Rong'er," seeing Yang Xianrong's sad face, Liu Ling said again: "Being an enemy of you is the last thing I want to do in my life." ”

Yang Xianrong barely squeezed out a smile and said: "No, you helped me today, I will never forget this kindness, don't worry, I won't tell anyone what you told me." And if one day, you need me, I won't hesitate. ”

Of course, Liu Ling believed Yang Xianrong's words, she picked up the tea and touched the cup with Yang Xianrong, and sighed: "Next time I have a long talk like this, I don't know when it will be." ”

"The world is unpredictable, I can't say." Yang Xianrong drank the tea, smiled, and said, "Maybe one day I have no way out, and you have to save me and reward me with a mouthful of food." ”

"You can't be my sister-in-law now, so I won't take you in, so I can eat it, but I can't afford to raise it." Liu Ling also laughed. The two suddenly remembered that they often went out to play together when they were children, when Liu Ling thought that Yang Xianrong would definitely marry Liu Yao, and Yang Xianrong thought that maybe Liu Ling would fall in love with her second brother, but as a result, none of them came true. After talking for a while, Liu Ling suddenly spoke: "My sister-in-law is pregnant. Seeing that Yang Xianrong didn't react a little, she said again: "My brother Yao, I'm going to be a father." ”

Yang Xianrong was stunned for a while, and only after a while did he say: "Then congratulations." ”

"Isn't it sad?" Liu Ling asked.

"What can be?" Yang Xianrong said quietly, "I also have a child." We're all grown up, haven't we? ”
