04 The principal of the embroidered messenger
Hearing Yang Xianrong's words, the green bamboos who were waiting on the side immediately knelt down, and at the same time looked at Mao Hongmao with a shocked face.
Yang Xianrong glanced at her, "Green Bamboo is just an errand, but such a strict organization as the embroidered messenger, since it was prepared by the emperor for the emperor, it is impossible for only the eldest sister and a female streamer like Lu Zhu to be responsible, there must be an extremely powerful role." It is even said that this person can have a proper entry and exit from the palace and deliver news, and he can also protect the emperor's safety. It's just that what I can't figure out is, why didn't you go with the emperor? Rather, to stay by my side? ”
Mao Hongmao also looked at Yang Xianrong with a shocked face, and didn't say anything for a long time.
Yang Xianrong had no choice but to take out the jade wrench that represented the command of the embroidered messenger and put it on the table, "I don't know a lot of things, but I think that since it is the person left by the emperor to the emperor, naturally it will not harm our lives." It's all this time, can't you be honest with me? ”
Mao Hongmao still didn't speak.
"So, you still don't recognize me as a queen?" Yang Xianrong laughed, "Then I'll go." Anyway, the emperor is not here now, I can walk casually on the road, and I can disappear......"
"The Queen's Mother...... Don't say that. Mao Hongmao honestly kowtowed three times to Yang Xianrong before saying: "I was just too shocked and didn't react for a while." ”
"Hehe, you finally changed your name to 'lowly duty', so, what is your job rank?" Yang Xianrong was not polite at all and accepted his bowing.
"The ministry, a product, is directly under the orders of the emperor. Later, it was Princess Pingyang...... Now she is also a princess of Binh Duong. When he said this, Mao Hongmao's voice was much quieter.
"The eldest sister is not at ease with me?" Yang Xianrong asked rhetorically.
"Yes." Now that his identity has been revealed, Mao Hongmao did not hide it anymore, "Because of Sima Ying, Princess Pingyang is a little worried that you and him will join forces to kill the emperor." ”
“…… She thinks too much. Yang Xianrong grinned, "If I really want the emperor's life, why do I have to wait for Sima Ying to do it?" What's more, I don't care about being a queen at all, and I have long wanted to leave this position. ”
"This ...... I know. Mao Hongmao lowered his eyes, "My brother said it." ”
"Does he know who you are?" Yang Xianrong asked again.
"I don't know. The emperor said that if something really happened to the Great Jin, the humble position would be the last line of defense to protect the emperor, so no one could tell the identity of the humble position. Mao Hongmao raised his head again and asked, "How did the queen find out?" ”
"It's just that when you and the eldest sister are together, that look is not quite right......" Yang Xianrong didn't say anything, but thinking about it carefully, although Mao Hongmao and Princess Pingyang deliberately kept a distance, after all, because they had to rely on each other to do things for so many years, they had a natural feeling of familiarity and familiarity. Yang Xianrong is such a keen woman, she can still detect it.
"That's a lowly oversight."
"Forget it, there's no point in discussing these things now. Tell me, why are you staying? ”
"I want to protect you." Mao Hongmao is really honest.
"I have so many people to protect, not more than you."
"But you are now the person on the top of the emperor's heart, and your humble position must be protected. Otherwise, the emperor will go crazy. Mao Hongmao became cautious again when he said this.
Yang Xianrong felt distressed again, and quietly covered his heart. She could feel Sima Zhen's dependence on her and his sincerity, why did he cling so much to that golden stick before leaving? Isn't it because Sima Ying gave her a golden phoenix hairpin? He also wanted to give her something to express his heart, so he made such a fuss.
"Anything else?" She's still asking. This is a kind of questioning technique, which she often used to make the children tell all the truth when she followed Yang Xuanzhi behind him and watched him teach the children in a private school. Now, it is also effective when used on Mao Hongmao. What's more, this person has so many secrets, if he hadn't suddenly deceived his truth, I don't know if he arrived in Chang'an, how would he and Princess Pingyang join forces to deal with him?
Of course, these two people have no ill will towards themselves, because they are very good to the emperor.
But that's about it.
"There are still a lot of treasures in the Luoyang Palace, if it is because the emperor leaves the palace, there will definitely be thieves coming. Therefore, I want to guard here for a few days......"
"Can you keep it? Even the arsenal was burned, which was clearly set on fire by someone, but in the end, it was not investigated because of this mess. What can be done now is to pack up the really valuable ones again, and hide them if you can't take them away. Yang Xianrong pointed to his still empty bookcase, "The books that were once placed here are all the only books of the pre-Qin Dynasty, and I have already hidden them." You can tell me if there's anything else to hide, and I'll take care of it. ”
"Everything is up to the queen." Mao Hongmao finally kowtowed again, indicating complete obedience to her command. Yang Xianrong smiled, and then carefully studied the structure of the embroidered messenger and the current personnel arrangement with him.
The former emperor Sima Yan was an extremely powerful and rigorous person, and the secret organization of the embroidered messenger was naturally even tighter. Mao Hongmao seems to be just the shopkeeper of Mingyue Tower, with a younger brother who is uneducated and unskilled, but he can take charge of the important positions of the Northern Military Mansion, and now he can stay in the palace under the banner of cooking meals for the queen to enter and exit freely, all of which have a very careful plan.
This person is not very human.
In the end, he still said: "Sima Ying is indeed dead, but why don't they mourn secretly?" I thought that maybe I could know more by staying with the queen mother. ”
“…… I really don't know. ”
"You can wait for Zhao Zhuo to come back and ask."
Zhao Zhuo handed over the blood jade to Yang Xianrong that day, and after saying a few more words, he hurriedly chased after Shi Chao's carriage. He wanted to send Sima Ying out of Luoyang and back to Yecheng to fulfill his last wishes. He left all the 500 guards he led to protect the safety of Yang Xianrong.
At night, Yang Xianrong finally lay down.
Cui Xi added another quilt for her, because there was a lack of charcoal fire in the palace, and even she was a little cold here.
"Girl, just now He Jiunian sent someone over to say that a few beauties from Pear Flower Garden are making trouble and want to leave the palace, and they don't want to go to Chang'an......"
"I ignored that." Yang Xianrong sighed faintly, "Let Zhang Fang and He Shaogong deal with this matter, just say that I am not in good health and am still asleep." ”
Her big black and white eyes were wider than anyone else's, and she didn't feel sleepy at all.
She couldn't sleep, as long as she closed her eyes, she could see Sima Ying covered in blood, and the red continued to spread, making her unable to breathe.
