Thousand Buddha Temple, Anning is straight, kneeling in front of the Buddha statue, hands folded, closed eyes and reciting the mantra of death. After reciting, she opened her eyes and looked up, the Buddha statue was ten feet high, with a kind face, looking down at all living beings, with a benevolent expression.

An Ning seemed to be stupid, and a monk in a robe walked slowly to her side, kneeling on the futon, holding a string of Buddhist beads in his hand: "Please mourn Her Royal Highness the princess, the poor monk will pray for Qiao Gongzi day and night, and hope that he will die and be reincarnated as soon as possible." ”

An Ning lowered his head and greeted sideways: "Lord Liu is well." The monk shook his head: "The monks are not stained with red dust, so you should call me Master Yuanhe." ”

After Qingyan rescued Liu Duancheng, he hid him in the Thousand Buddha Temple to recuperate. After Liu Duancheng woke up, he was sad and uncontrollable, he lost his wife and children twice, and his family was broken twice, even if he was beaten with iron, he couldn't bear it, he was bent on death, and only wanted to reunite with his family under Jiuquan.

Qingyan had no way, so he invited the host of the temple to take care of Liu Duancheng day and night, and the temple host used Buddhism to appease Liu Duancheng, and Liu Duancheng devoted himself to cultivating Buddhism and left home.

An Ning felt that if he became a monk, he could find peace of mind, and when he calmed down, he could serve the country even if he returned to the world.

Qiao Mobai's death made her suffer a lot of pain, Liu Duancheng's pain was a hundred times greater than hers, and she couldn't bear to criticize him anymore. But she didn't want him to forget his identity, and still called him "Lord Liu".

She envied him very much, no matter how many Buddhist scriptures she recited, she still couldn't calm her mind and breathe, as if the fire in her chest suppressed and burned her reason inch by inch.

"Even if you stay away from the red dust, the red dust is still a nuisance. Lord Liu is resentful and hateful in his heart? An Ning asked softly. The Li family framed him, the royal family wronged him, and slaughtered his family again, An Ning didn't know how he forgot his hatred and let go of everything.

Master Yuanhe shook his head: "All grievances and grievances are like mirror dust, and when they are brushed away, they will not be seen." ”

An Ning sighed softly, it was difficult for her to achieve such cultivation.

She raised her question for the first time: "Why did you want to murder King Xi and blame the Li family?" "If he doesn't murder the King of the Seal, there can be a place of peace.

The Li family's crimes, with the lives of the whole family, were too aggressive, and they were in a hurry to admit their crimes, almost a dead end.

Master Yuanhe looked at her sideways, and was silent for a long time before he said slowly: "The matter of Hongchen is too late, and the poor monk didn't want to mention it again. However, His Royal Highness has the grace to save his life in poor monks, and if His Royal Highness has any doubts, he may wish to ask His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

He originally thought that Princess An Ning saved him as the prince's meaning, but he didn't expect that it was just Princess An Ning's own meaning.

An Ning suddenly turned his head to look at him, raised his eyebrows in surprise, and his tone tightened: "Did the prince ask you to murder Yang You?" ”

Master Yuanhe slowly lit the incense candle in his hand and sighed heavily: "Don't say anything in front of the Buddha, Your Royal Highness Princess, there are some things, clear and unclear, know and don't know, what's the difference?" ”

An Ning clenched her fists tightly, then let go, she bowed to the Buddha statue three more times, and stood up, "An Ning will not be able to come for a while, please take care of Lord Liu." As he spoke, he turned and walked out of the temple.

Venerable Yuanhe sighed softly again, looked up at the loving face of the Buddha statue, opened the Buddhist scriptures on the case, and whispered: "Pure and pure light, the wisdom of the sun breaks through all darkness, can subdue disasters and wind and fire, and shine brightly on ......the world."

An Ning returned to the Qiao family's ancient mansion under the escort of Maple Scars and the secret guards, and it was already close to evening. The entire ancient mansion is lined with armor and is heavily guarded.

Qiao Guogong Qiao Loufeng stood under a red maple tree in the courtyard, under the bleak autumn wind, the ground was full of blood-red maple leaves.

An Ning stepped forward to greet him: "Grandfather." ”

Qiao Guogong came back to his senses and looked at her: "Are you back?" An Ning nodded: "The Buddhist scriptures have been delivered, and after today, there is no need to go." ”

An Ning copied the Buddhist scriptures for seven hundred and forty-nine days, and each time he would personally send them to the Thousand Buddha Temple to recite them, pray for Qiao Mobai, go out almost early in the morning, and come back in the evening, spending a day's journey.

No one can stop it.

Only when this matter is done can An Ning really leave Jiacheng without distraction.

The crown prince Yang Yu sat in the main room with the queen mother, Yang Yu was reading a book, the queen mother listened carefully, her expression was a little naïve and confused, as if she had not fully recovered her senses.

King Xi sat on the other side of the queen with the nurse in her arms, and the nurse didn't dare to let him play with the rattle, it was too noisy, so she just gave him a puppet to play.

Everyone raised their heads to look at her, Yang Yu stood up and walked towards her, her figure a little thin: "Have you sent it to the temple?" ”

An Ning nodded. She stood up straight and straightened the collar for the prince: "After returning to the palace, I told my father that King Xi and I both want to accompany the queen mother, and I don't want to go back, and I won't go back to the palace for the New Year this year, if you are free, come to see the queen mother more." ”

The assassins at the Spring and Autumn Banquet made the Qiao family lose their eldest grandson, and also made the emperor discover that the palace was not safe, and even the prince's side would be threatened at any time.

Qiao Guocheng wanted to go to the palace to visit the queen's mother, so An Ning proposed to the emperor, and the emperor sent the crown prince, Princess An Ning and the king of the seal raised in the Yuxiu Palace to Qiao's mansion overnight.

The Qiao family is currently the only family that the emperor trusts and can entrust to the crown prince.

It's just that they didn't go to the palace, but came to the ancient mansion of the Qiao family, which no one knew, so it has been almost two months since they lived peacefully in the sparsely populated ancient mansion. When the prince came, An Ning could feel that the queen mother was very happy.

She came to the queen mother's side, held the hand of the king of the seal and said to the queen mother: "Queen mother, this is the king of the seal, Yang You, You'er." The queen mother turned her face, looked at An Ning, and then looked at King Xi, as if she didn't understand very much.

An Ning said to Yang You again: "You'er, this is the queen mother. ”

An Ning would say to the queen once a day this month, hoping that the queen mother would slowly remember this child.

When she is not by her mother's side in the future, she can also have someone to accompany her.

Summer is over, and late autumn has begun. The center of the palace is almost cleaned up, and the crown prince will also be welcomed back.

That palace, for everyone, was a sad place. But the crown prince, as the prince of the country, had to go back, which was the honor bound by his identity.

She's leaving, too.

Yang Yu looked at her deeply: "Are you leaving?" ”

An Ning nodded: "I want to go out with my grandfather, I haven't been to many places yet." ”

Prince Yang Yu frowned: "You have to be careful." ”

Qiao Mobai's matter made everyone physically and mentally exhausted, haunted by sadness, and at the same time grew up quickly, the prince didn't know what An Ning wanted to do, but when he could do whatever he wanted, why did he have to stop her.

Why wait until you can't do anything. (To be continued.) )
