In the haze, hearing the cry one after another, Qiyun had a headache, as if it was about to crack. She rolled over and buried her head under the pillow, but her cry was still loud and high, keeping her awake.

She tried to open her eyes, followed the cry, and saw Tuoba Tao lying straight on the dragon couch not far away, motionless. She got out of the bed and walked to Tuobatao's bed one step at a time. She trembled her fingers to probe Tuobatao's snort, but there was no breath. Although Zhilu Dao Tuoba Tao took the rest pill of Jishi Palace, she still fell to the ground, thinking about what happened next, and her mood was heavy and inexplicable.

In the mourning hall, Qiyun knelt on the **, without any expression on her face, just staring blankly at the people who came and went to visit Tuoba Tao, and in the eyes of others, she was so sad that she was almost numb. Princess Shiping is here, Cui Hao is here, Tuoba Qi is here, and He Sining is here...... Their faces were filled with grief.

Everyone asked Empress Dowager Dou to bury Tuoba Tao, her face was sad, and she said calmly and calmly: "The emperor has a will to stay, and after seven days, she can only be buried after completing the law." ”

Because it is the middle of winter at the moment, everyone has no objection after listening to the words of the Empress Dowager Dou. Waves of ministers and wives came to see Tuoba Tao's remains, and the crying shook the sky, making Qiyun have a headache.

Seven days passed, and Qiyun and Empress Dowager Dou sat in front of Tuoba Tao, silent. Empress Dowager Dou broke the silence and asked, "County Lord, is the method you said easy to use?" ”

She nodded and replied quietly, "Seven days have passed, and there should be results." ”

At this time, Zong Ai hurriedly came in from outside and said urgently: "Empress Dowager Qi, county lord, there is movement in the northeast corner of the palace." From the northeast flew a carrier pigeon, which was shot down by the guards with an arrow, and the pigeon had this strapped to its feet. ”

As he spoke, he handed a small roll of paper to Empress Dowager Dou with both hands. Qiyun was anxious, and also looked over, and saw that the words "Wei Lord Tuoba Tao died" were written on it, and the font was graceful and upright.

Empress Dowager Dou handed her the note: "County Lord, do you know who wrote this?" ”

Qiyun saw that the font on the note was a little familiar, and suddenly a page flashed in his mind, and he couldn't help but exclaim: "Buddhist scriptures, the words on the Buddhist scriptures are exactly the same as this one." ”

Empress Dowager Dou and Zong Ai asked puzzledly, "Buddhist scriptures? ”

"I know who Lu Dao is!" Qiyun suppressed her excitement and lowered her voice and said, "Queen Mother, please ask someone from the Jishi Hall of the Shadow Palace to come and give the emperor an antidote." Xia Guo's fine work, which had been lurking in the Wei Palace for many years, finally surfaced. On the one hand, he said to Zong Ai: "Father-in-law Zong, please send someone to my Mingyue Xuan immediately to get the original Buddhist scriptures I copied." ”

Tuoba Tao, who had taken the antidote to the rest pill, woke up slowly, and he saw Qiyun in front of him at a glance. She leaned closer to him, "Buddha, things are getting clear." ”

Tuoba Tao sat up and looked back at her with affection in his eyes: "Yun'er, you have suffered, you have lost weight again. How many days is this? ”

"The matter has come to an end, and the real culprit has surfaced. You see. Qiyun handed him the note in his hand along with the Buddhist scriptures.

Tuoba Tao took it, saw that the handwriting in the two places was exactly the same, and suddenly woke up and said in shock: "It's her?" ”

In the Nunnery of Compassion, in the main hall, a lacquered gold Buddha statue of Guanyin hangs the compassionate smile of all sentient beings, smiling at the people of the world struggling in the sea of desire.

In front of the statue of the Bodhisattva, there is a woman in white sitting upright. She grabbed the dust in her hands, lowered her eyebrows and closed her eyes, and was meditating on herself, looking solemn. Even when I saw her back, it was inexplicably calm.

Tuoba Tao and Qiyun held hands and entered the nunnery. Tuoba Tao respectfully saluted the figure and called out, "Imperial Aunt." ”

The body with her back to them shook slightly, and slowly turned around, she was Mrs. Hui'an. "Buddha, you...... All right? She raised her eyes and quietly looked at the two people in front of her, smiled alone, and suddenly, the sunlight shining into the nunnery also turned into moonlight, clear and cold.

Getting closer, Qiyun saw the shallow lines at the corners of her eyes, after all, the years have drawn almost invisible vicissitudes for her, and under a closer look, Hui'an's eyes hide Bingfeng.

Hui An's countenance returned to kindness, and she calmly said to them, "You are here, I have been waiting for today for a long time. Since the poisoning of the Buddha civet, the poor nun has been restless day and night, praying in front of the Buddha, hoping that the poison of the Buddha can be lifted as soon as possible. ”

Tuoba Tao handed the note and Buddhist scriptures in his hand to her eyes, and smiled slightly: "The imperial aunt is so good, if it weren't for the conclusive evidence that you were the one who fornicated with the Xia Kingdom, looking at the imperial aunt's expression, I must have thought that you really cared about me." It's clear that you poisoned it, but you're pretending to be here. Say, Mrs. Hui'an, how many other people have you harmed? ”

Hui An coldly glanced at the two things in Tuoba Tao's hand, and said calmly and indifferently: "I inflicted the poison of Langhua, but I am suffering all the time. Buddha, I hope that you will return to heaven after being poisoned, and that you will be safe and sound. After all, you are something I grew up watching, and there is no way you can't help me like you. Sometimes, I wonder how good it would be if you were my son, and it would be worth it for me to suffer so much. At this time, she looked at Tuoba Tao's eyes with some kindness.

Qiyun said angrily: "You don't want to pretend here, why do you want to poison the Buddha?" I'm afraid, my mother's poison is also your handiwork, right? ”

After Hui An glanced at Qiyun, her eyes closed slightly, "Your mother Wang Yanyan, her original name is Xu Yan, and she is the daughter of Xu Qian, the Duke of Gaoyang of Wei State. Yes, her poison was also inflicted by me, and her life was lost at my hands. ”

Before Tuoba Tao and Qiyun could wake up from their shock, Hui An opened his eyes, turned his head to Tuoba Tao and said, "Not only you, but also your imperial grandfather and father, I poisoned and assassinated them. Back then, your imperial grandfather, Emperor Daowu, liked to serve Wushisan. Wushisan is poisonous, as long as he takes it for a long time, he will naturally become in a trance, irritable and even mad and demented. Your father, the emperor, had the experience of your grandfather, and was very taboo at first, but he couldn't endure the pain of typhoid fever on his body. ”

"I persuaded him to take Wushisan, there is a clear curative effect, a small amount of Wushisan would be fine, but there are many taboos for this kind of consumption, and you can't drink cold or bad wine. I only need to use a little means, after your father and the emperor have taken the five stones, he is a little delirious, where will he pay attention to whether he drinks hot or cold wine. Therefore, since he started taking Wushisan, his life has been in my hands. ”

Five stones? Qiyun only felt frightened when he heard it, and Wushi was very popular among the princes and nobles of the Wei and Jin dynasties. Wushisan is a kind of traditional Chinese medicine powder, which is mixed after grinding five kinds of ores, such as stone bell ru, purple quartz, white quartz, stone sulfur and red stone resin. It is also known as "cold food powder", because after taking this medicine, it must be dissipated with cold food and cold bath, and only warm wine is required for drinking. At that time, people believed that "taking Wushi San, not only to cure the disease, but also to feel the gods and cheerful", which has a great effect on typhoid patients, but it is easy to become addicted, the body is very cold and hot, and it is very painful to take it, and it is fatal to take it.
