Chapter 259: The Sick and Weak Prince Lies in Bed 23
"Princess Rui, also understands Buddha?" The elderly Empress Dowager put down her hand, her voice was not loud, and her voice looked old. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
But Yaxi had a whole expression, and even put away the looseness in his eyes. She lowered her head and replied respectfully: "Daughter-in-law, how dare you say that you understand, you just want to be Buddha." ā
"One heart to the Buddha?" The Empress Dowager spit out these four words word by word, and frowned slightly, "If you are dedicated to the Buddha, how can you punish your subordinates like this morning?" ā
Yaxi's eyes flickered, and she lowered her eyelids, gathering all her emotions. Her face seemed to be more submissive, she pursed her lips and said, "Diao Nu has to be punished, please punish the imperial grandmother." As she spoke, she bent down and bowed.
Yaxi knew that the other party should have known the whole story of the matter a long time ago, and it was really irrational to choose to defend now. The best thing is to admit everything and punish the other party alone.
After a long pause, the Empress Dowager spoke again: "Do you know where the Buddha is?" ā
Yaxi was not surprised that she suddenly changed the subject, she understood that the other party did not intend to punish her. Since this is the case, she naturally will not ask for trouble and bring up this topic again.
Yaxi's attitude seemed to be more subdued, and she replied softly: "Daughter-in-law Sun is stupid, and she privately thinks that there is a Buddha in her heart, and the Buddha is where you are." ā
The Empress Dowager actually didn't expect Yaxi to answer like this, she pondered for a long time, and said: "Princess Rui is very Buddha-like, it's a pity." ā
Her voice almost sighed, causing Ah-hee to look up at her back. The current situation does not allow her to argue with the Empress Dowager, and even if the situation allows, Yaxi doesn't want to say more.
It's just that the Buddha in everyone's heart is different, and the Buddha in Yaxi's heart is not the god who is high above. She has never believed that the Buddha can cross people, and she will not be the kind of person who will wait for others to redeem, let alone a god who does not know when it will appear.
The Buddha she believes in and the god she believes in are just her own conscience, and that is a bottom line that will never be crossed. She is like a person who believes in Buddhism and does not dare to do bad things, for fear of angering the Buddha.
Yaxi suddenly remembered that she had also become a monk in a world a long time ago. In that temple, she had once seen a ship. She also discovered it by accident, and it was almost impossible to see such a dilapidated place as a national temple.
Once, she was bored in the temple, and went down a long and somewhat desolate ladder down the back mountain. Unlike the golden splendor of the front hall, it seems to have been abandoned for a long time, and there are almost no people to be seen.
She was so bored that she didn't turn back even though the road under her feet was covered with grass and she could barely get off her feet. Yaxi lifted the hem of her skirt and was very stubborn in wanting to reach the end of the road.
When she finally reached the end, she saw a dead lake. There is only a small piece of dead lake and a few ruined walls, and Yaxi can imagine the glory of this place. But even so, the former tall Buddha statue is now only a dilapidated stone.
As Ah-hee stood on a high place, her gaze sweeping over the Dead Lake again, she suddenly discovered something new. There was a small wooden boat docked in a small corner of the lake, which she hadn't seen for the first time because of the overgrown weeds on the lake.
She took a few more steps forward with her skirt in hand, trying to see more clearly. The boat seemed to have been parked there for a long time, so long that a lot of green algae had grown around it.
"If the Buddha crosses the people, who will cross the Buddha?" Such a sentence suddenly came to Yaxi's mind. Maybe she had been in the temple for too long, so the first thing that came to mind was such a sentence.
This wooden boat was obviously used to cross the river, but I don't know why it was trapped in this place and could never leave. It's just that at this time, who will cross it?
"What are you thinking?"
The Empress Dowager's voice suddenly recalled Yaxi's thoughts, her pupils instantly focused, and she bowed deeply: "Please punish the imperial grandmother." ā
She glanced at Yaxi, then stretched out her hand and said, "Get up." ā
Yaxi hurriedly reached out to hold the other party and carefully helped her up.
"If it's all right, let's step down." The Empress Dowager squinted her eyes, and her face was a little tired.
Yaxi helped her sit down, then knelt down suddenly, slammed her knees on the ground, and made a loud noise: "Granddaughter-in-law begs the emperor's grandmother for something!" She fell to the ground with great humility.
"Oh?" The Empress Dowager sat on the chair and couldn't help frowning at her when she heard this.
"Ask the emperor's grandmother to put the deeds of sale of all the subordinates of the Rui Wangfu in the granddaughter-in-law for safekeeping." Yaxi didn't go around in any circles, and went straight to the point. The other party is a person who has come out of the palace fight, and he has seen and used any kind of means, and his mental means are even more extraordinary.
If she plays tricks at this time, it is one thing to be seen, even if she is not seen, the Queen Mother will keep suspecting what she said. So Yaxi still chose the easiest way, and said it directly if she wanted to.
After being silent for a long time, the Empress Dowager said in a calm voice: "What do you want to do?" ā
"The people in the house really don't listen to discipline." Ah-hee straightened her knees and spat out such a sentence with her eyelids down.
"What do you want to do?" The Empress Dowager's eyes were much deeper, and her gaze seemed to fall on Yaxi's body inadvertently, and she asked this sentence again.
"My granddaughter-in-law just wants to live comfortably." Yaxi raised her head and met the other party's eyes, exposing the emotions in her eyes to the other party without a trace of reservation.
Her answer made the Empress Dowager stunned, and she raised her eyebrows with a little more meaning in her eyes: "Isn't it for Rui'er?" ā
"The prince is not good, how can the granddaughter-in-law live comfortably?" Ah-hee tilted her head and smiled innocently.
"It's a real kid." The Empress Dowager seemed to have a loving smile on her face, but no matter how Yaxi looked at it, her heart was a little cold.
"If you play tricks, you will definitely be rejected by the imperial grandmother. The granddaughter-in-law privately thought that only by confessing frankly could the goal be easier to achieve. Yaxi looked at the Empress Dowager, and the smile on her face was a little gentle.
"Oh?" The Empress Dowager raised her eyebrows, and there was a little more playful smile in her eyes, "It's a sincere child." ā
Yaxi smiled, then bowed her head obediently, waiting for the other party's decision.
"That's it, since Rui'er is already married, it is indeed unreasonable for the Internal Affairs Office to control the affairs of Ruiwang's Mansion anymore." The Empress Dowager closed her eyes, summoned someone in, and ordered the matter to continue.
Yaxi naturally knelt down to thank him. And the Empress Dowager's subordinates moved very quickly, and Yaxi quickly got what she wanted, and she retreated after a few polite words. (To be continued.) )
