Chapter 690 Re-investigating the Death of Liu Cong

Seven days later, Guanglu Doctor Xiao Yi had already attended the court to discuss matters, and he once again thanked Liu Yao for cutting off the dragon's whiskers to use as a medicine inducer.

After Liu Yao made a few simple remarks, he suddenly announced that he would thoroughly investigate the death of Liu Cong. The whole court was in an uproar again, and everyone felt somewhat puzzled.

Because everyone thought that Liu Cong died of an old illness that was difficult to cure, is there any hidden story?

But for Xiao Yi, it was a deep shock. He even knelt on the ground for a long time without getting up. Others thought that he was physically exhausted because of his unhealed body, but only he knew that Liu Yao might have known about his affairs. The dragon beard was just a medicine. If he really wanted to win him over and make him sincerely submit to him, there must be another strong medicine.

Speaking of this matter, it is naturally related to Xu Henian.

After he left Jiankang and went north to Chang'an, he was not in a hurry to see Yang Xianrong, but stayed temporarily in a very small Taoist temple. He had many considerations, one was because of his identity, and the other was that he wanted to know whether Yang Xianrong was doing well, so he could listen to the opinions of the people in Chang'an first. After all, they had been separated for so long, and he felt a little "homesick".

Otherwise, Master Xu Zhenren would always scold him for being restless and unable to concentrate on practicing the Dharma. Therefore, when he was asked to go down the mountain to take a look, he agreed immediately.

The people of Chang'an almost all praised Yang Xianrong, and they also knew that Liu Yao loved her very much. Many people laughed when they talked about having seen the emperor and empress walking hand in hand.

After listening to it more often, he felt much more at ease.

He was not interested in the affairs of the court. But he vaguely remembered that when he followed his master Xu Zhenren into the palace of the Great Jin Dynasty, he got lost and was shown the way by a little palace maid, so they formed a bond. Every time he entered and left the Luoyang Palace, he would talk to her and gossip about the big and small things in the palace. Therefore, Xu Henian was not so reluctant to enter the palace. At least his heart that loved gossip finally met someone like him.

Later, I heard that the woman was sent by Sima Yan to a minister's house as a concubine, and they gradually lost contact.

He also knew about the Embroidered Robe Envoy, but these were all secrets of the royal family, and even if he wanted to see the woman again, there was no way.

After so many years of twists and turns, he suddenly thought that the woman's husband had also become an important official of Liu Yao, so she should be here. If she was the embroidered clothes envoy, then did she recognize Yang Xianrong and do things for her?

Thinking of this, Xu Henian couldn't sit still. After squatting at the gate of Xiao's house for a few days, he finally saw his old friend appear.

There was no excitement as expected, but more greetings like family. Her name is now Chai Hong, and she is Xiao Yi's third concubine.

Because Xiao Yi treated her very well, she was free to come and go, and her life was very comfortable. When she saw Xu Henian, she was also very excited. The two of them seemed to have never been apart, and they happily started gossiping about each other.

Later, Chai Hong asked, "Where are you living? I have some status in the Xiao Mansion. Otherwise, you can just say you are my distant cousin and move in with me first. Then we can talk for a few more days."

Xu Henian was also a free and easy person who didn't follow etiquette, so he naturally agreed. However, they didn't expect to meet Zhang Du when they turned around, and he talked about Liu Yao's idea that Xiao Yi wanted to work for him wholeheartedly.

The three of them came together but couldn't figure out any solution. Later, Xu Henian said that they should just do something with the decoction, and asked for dragon whiskers or something... It was really a coincidence that when Yang Xianrong and Liu Yao went there, they just happened to hit the right time, so Xiao Yi couldn't refuse at all.

But this is just superficial work. If you really want to win people's hearts, you still have to do some practical things. Chai Hong has been with Xiao Yi for a long time and knows that he has a very close brother who has been doing purchasing work for Liu Cong. However, he was beheaded because of the curse on the porcelain.

Xiao Yi was also holding his breath, feeling extremely bad. He knew that his brother would never do such a thing, but he was dead, how could he be vindicated? Moreover, the emperor had been replaced, and the past had long since become a cloud of smoke. Now, he could do nothing.

Chai Hong quietly told Xu Henian, "If you can vindicate his brother, Xiao Yi will definitely work wholeheartedly for Liu Yao."

Xu Henian kept it in mind and told Yang Xianrong about it.

Although Yang Xianrong knew about this matter, he felt that he had no clue, so he put it aside for the time being. But now it concerns the stability of Liu Yao's country, and he values ​​Xiao Yi very much. Therefore, he must take care of this matter.

She told Liu Yao about this, and Liu Yao didn't know where to start. However, he asked happily: "Third sister, do you know that since Xu Henian came, you have become much more lively, even a little like your youth?"

"What? Did you say I'm old?" In private, Yang Xianrong and Liu Yao still joked and joked like before, and even showed some coquettishness, which made Liu Yao feel itchy in his heart.

"That's not what I meant. I meant that the third sister is the prettiest. Look at Xu Henian, he hasn't changed much. In fact, even after giving birth to two children, your figure is still like that of a girl, except that some parts are indeed a lot fuller... But I like it, I really like it, I love it so much!"

Yang Xianrong blushed again. "Then I'd better get fatter, like Cui Xi, so that I can become very strong."

"No, no, you look really beautiful like this, I like it very much." Liu Yao's sweet words really worked for Yang Xianrong too. The two of them sat down with a smile and talked in detail about what had happened throughout the day, just like they did in the past.

"Can we give Xu Henian a place to live in the palace, even if there is no Taoist temple." Yang Xianrong asked Liu Yao, "You know, his medical skills are very good, and his knowledge is also good. I want him to teach the children. Second brother has already taught them everything."

"Is he willing?" Liu Yao didn't care. "The palace is big, he can live anywhere he wants. Or maybe we can build a Taoist temple for him in the palace?"

"That's not necessary. You don't believe it. Just let him teach the children. There's no need to make a big fuss." Yang Xianrong touched Liu Yao's beard, and thought of the dragon beard incident, and couldn't help laughing out loud.

These two people are really sweet and stick together all the time.

When their love was at its peak, Yang Xianrong asked Liu Yao, "Let's have another child. I want a daughter who can be as cute and smart as Ruoxi, and also as pretty as me."

"People say that daughters take after their fathers. What if I give birth to a daughter who is as strong as me? Who would dare to have her?" Liu Yao shook his head.

"Hey, she is a princess! Who dares not want her?" Yang Xianrong laughed and imagined a woman who looked like Liu Yao. The picture didn't seem so beautiful.
