431. 432 Practicing jealousy and asking for a monthly pass
Halfway through the luncheon, the little eunuch next to the emperor hurriedly ran in and whispered a few words in the emperor's ear.
The emperor's countenance went from surprise to surprise.
"Queen Mother, the abbot of Xiangguo Temple is out of the customs today and is coming now." The emperor informed the queen mother beside him.
In this way, good things come in pairs. Come quickly. ”
The abbot of Xiangguoji Temple held a high position in Kyoto during the Celestial Empire, and in the early years, he opened an altar to pray for rain for the great drought, and also visited the riverside to curb floods and minimize the loss of waterlogging.
In the last life, the full moon also felt that the abbot of Xiangguo Temple had great powers.
Now it seems that he just understands the astronomy and geography of Qimen Dunjia, and knows how to build momentum in Kyoto, and knows many dignitaries and dignitaries in Kyoto.
In fact, the abbot of Xiangguo Temple is just a greedy and lustful person, deliberately building himself into a generation of sages and gathering prestige, but he just recognizes money and does not recognize people.
"Zhu Aiqing, the abbot of Xiangguo Temple prayed for the blessing of the Celestial Empire in retreat before, and today I learned that the Heavenly Machine was out of the customs, and brought the Heavenly Machine Treasure Box for the prosperity of my Celestial Empire."
The emperor's voice fell, and some of the courtiers tended to be angry and praised quickly, and some were rational and calm, neither humble nor arrogant.
The eyes of the full moon are lowered, and although the eyes cannot see it, the perception of the ears is sometimes more sensitive than that of the eyes, and it is not necessary to look at so many disguised faces, but to be able to sit down with a clearer voice.
The abbot of Xiangguoji Temple will come, as she expected.
After a while, a long and low horn sounded outside the main hall, and the abbot of Xiangguo Temple had not yet arrived, but the momentum was sufficient. The emperor and the queen mother were all looking forward to it.
The abbot of Xiangguo Temple walked slowly into the main hall in a golden robe, his face was solemn and his expression was peaceful.
The two apprentices behind him stood on the left and right, their eyes drooping, and they were silent.
"The minister has seen the emperor, the queen mother."
The abbot of Xiangguo Temple is also an official worshipper, and after the salute, everyone's eyes are focused on the golden treasure box in his hand.
"Abbot, this treasure box is the heavenly treasure box that you sent a letter to say?" The emperor asked him with interest.
"Back to the emperor, exactly."
The abbot of Xiangguo Temple spoke in a deep voice, and immediately looked around, but his eyes deliberately ignored Lin Donghe, and when his eyes swept over the full moon, a murderous aura crossed his eyes.
"Back to the emperor, the queen mother, this treasure box is prepared before the minister's retreat, put a wordless book of heaven, the treasure box has been sealed around the minister, the minister prays for the heavenly dynasty, the treasure box has never been opened, early this morning, the minister has insight into the heavenly machine, knowing that Tianzun has written the heavenly machine on the wordless heavenly book, and ordered the minister to open it in person in front of the emperor and the queen mother, and prosper the heavenly dynasty together."
The abbot said so, and the emperor and the queen mother were naturally very useful.
The abbot had also used a similar method before, saying that it was Tianzun who entrusted a dream and wrote a prophecy under the wordless book of heaven, and before the abbot deliberately asked the emperor to send someone to guard the wordless book of heaven, proving that he had never opened it, before that, the wordless book of heaven was also put in by the emperor himself, but when the emperor opened it again, the book of heaven was written.
And the prophecies of when it will rain and when it will happen, will be fulfilled.
After doing this twice, the emperor and the queen mother naturally looked at him with admiration, and gradually believed in what the abbot said about the dream of Tianzun.
This time, the abbot's old trick was repeated.
Although the emperor did not send someone to take care of the brocade box containing the wordless heavenly book, he believed in the abbot's words. After all, every time it is a good thing for the Celestial Empire, it is natural to believe it.
"Abbot, since that's the case, open it quickly!"
The emperor and the queen mother both want to know quickly, what is written in the wordless book of heaven this time?
"Back to the emperor, this Tianzun dream, coinciding with the wedding of the eighth prince and the fifth highness at the beginning of next month, so the person who opened the treasure box should also be found from the wedding, because today is a yin time, so the person who opens it needs to be a woman, but the treasure box is yang, if it is difficult for an ordinary woman to suppress, it also needs to be the pillar of the court, and the woman does not let the eyebrows!"
The abbot's voice fell, and almost everyone turned their eyes to the full moon.
If Er Ruo is a princess, she is not an official in the court, but the full moon echoes this request, and the full moon is still the future fifth princess.
"Ningjing, do you smell anything special?" The full moon lowered her eyes and asked Ning Jing in a low voice.
People with poor eyes are particularly sensitive to hearing and smell.
"Miss, it seems—it emanates from you." Ning Jing wasn't sure, but since the abbot walked in, she had faintly smelled a faint smell of sulfur on the eldest lady's body, the taste was very light, and if the eldest lady didn't remind her, she wouldn't be so sure.
"What color is the treasure box held by the abbot of Xiangguo Temple?" The full moon asked Ning Jing in a cold voice.
"Golden."
"What color is the belt of my clothes?"
"It's golden, too."
"Who sent my clothes today?" The full moon asked in a lower voice.
"The clothes that the eldest lady entered the palace have always been sent by the princess, and now they are also sent by the maid of Mingshui Pavilion."
"Is it Qiao Qing?"
"No, it's another maid next to the princess, Qiao Qing went out to run errands, so the princess arranged for someone else to send it." Ning Jing said.
"Miss, there's a problem with the clothes?" Quietly asked about the full moon.
"It's okay, I'll do as I tell you later." The full moon whispered to be silent, and did not speak again.
Ning Jing nodded, vigilantly observing his surroundings.
At this time, the emperor and the queen mother glanced at each other, and surprise flashed in their eyes.
"The abbot has not been out of retreat for a year, but he can say so accurately, and there are indeed people who the abbot said." The emperor nodded and looked at the full moon.
The abbot smiled with an expression that could not be revealed.
"Back to the emperor, when the minister was in retreat, he always didn't listen to the things outside the window, and only prayed for the blessing of the Heavenly Empire, as for whether there was a suitable candidate, the minister didn't know, it was completely arranged by Tianzun."
"Tianzun arrangement, freedom reasons." The Queen Mother also echoed.
"Linghu Full Moon!" The Queen Mother shouted the name of the full moon in a deep voice.
"The minister is here."
The full moon, which had been silent, slowly got up.
Before, Ning Jing had already made a code word in the palm of her hand, and she remembered how many steps she should take in which direction.
"It's up to you to open the Heavenly Machine Treasure Box today, this is the supreme glory for you and the Linghu Mansion, the mourning family and the emperor regard you as their own family, don't let the mourning family down."
The Queen Mother's words were roundabout.
In the ears of the people, some were jealous of the full moon, and some were envious of extravagant hopes.
"The minister respectfully obeys the decree of the Queen Mother."
The full moon received its life safely.
"Grandma Huang, my grandson also wants to see this Heavenly Machine Treasure Box, so let my grandson watch it by Linghu Manyue's side." Lin Dongyao suddenly spoke, seemingly curious to see the Heavenly Machine Treasure Box up close, but in fact, he wanted to stand beside the full moon to protect her.
"Fifth Highness, your body has not yet recovered, this Heavenly Machine Treasure Box is a sacred thing, if it is not the person selected by Tianzun, you can only watch it from afar, and I hope that Your Highness the Fifth will forgive me."
The abbot was busy persuading Lin Dongyao, and his pious expression made the emperor and the queen mother convinced him.
"Dongyao, this is a glorious thing, you can just watch from the sidelines." The emperor spoke in a deep voice, raising his hand to signal that Lin Dongyao didn't need to say more.
Lin Dongyao's face sank, and his pupils looked at the abbot coldly, and a touch of cold air made the abbot feel like a man on his back.
The full moon had now come to the center of the main hall.
"Your Majesty, Queen Mother, since the Heavenly Machine Treasure Box is a holy relic, and the full moon is a mortal, so as not to defile the holy relic, please also ask the emperor to order his ministers to fast and bathe immediately to show respect for the holy relic."
The full moon opened his mouth unhurriedly, and the emperor was about to nod, but he heard the abbot stop again.
"Your Majesty, this is not necessary. As the so-called sincerity is spiritual, and the minister calculates the time, this time is just right, if the time is delayed, I am afraid that Tianzun will take back the heavenly machine, and it will be difficult to fulfill. ”
The abbot said this, and the emperor and the queen mother couldn't help but hesitate.
Full Moon frowned slightly, and then slowly relaxed......
The so-called wordless book of heaven is just a mystery. The handwriting on it will fade after a while, saying that it is a natural opportunity that cannot be revealed, but it is a fraud.
"Linghu is full of moon, just do what the abbot wants." Although the Queen Mother thought that the full moon should indeed fast and bathe, since the abbot said it, the Queen Mother believed him.
"Yes, Queen Mother."
The full moon is still in an unhurried tone.
A flash of joy flashed in the abbot's eyes.
As long as Linghu Manyue takes over this Heavenly Machine Treasure Box, his task today will be completed! The phosphorus powder and black powder on this heavenly treasure box, once it comes into contact with the sulfur smoked on Linghu Full Moon's clothes, it will inevitably be a raging fire, and when the time comes, Linghu Full Moon will be buried in the fire!
And he can take the opportunity to say that the fox full moon angers Tianzun, and only evil spirits will be burned by fire because of their deep sins, and he can also call himself the life-saving benefactor of the Five Highnesses! Enrage the Heavenly Venerable, explode the heavenly fire, burn the body, and dispel the evil spirits! This is a legend that has been circulating in Kyoto for many years in the Celestial Empire, and according to legend, if someone is suddenly burned by the fire, it will be the evil spirit that angers the heavens, and the heavens punish them to protect others.
The sulfur on Linghu Manyue's body is not ordinary sulfur, it is a medicinal herb specially refined by him, and if it is not for close contact with black powder and phosphorus powder, the smell of sulfur will not come out.
This is also the reason why the full moon did not smell sulfur before.
It is unlikely that the Hou Mansion will have black powder and phosphorus powder, and even if there is, these things will be cleared by her as soon as possible before Qiu Jixuan secretly makes a move.
Lin Donghe kept Qiu Jixuan in the Hou Mansion, just to facilitate him to make internal responses.
Qiu Jixuan has never given up on marrying Linghu Hongxi, and Pang Rui's attention and concern for Linghu Manyue is the biggest reason for Qiu Jixuan's dissatisfaction with Linghu Manyue.
Seeing that the full moon is about to take over the Tianji Treasure Box, as long as he acquiesces three times, the black powder and phosphorus powder hidden at the bottom of the Tianji Treasure Box will come into contact with the sulfur in the air, and the clothes worn by Linghu Manyue have been smoked with sulfur before, which will ignite the fire and burn her to the ground.
At this moment, Lin Donghe couldn't help but clench his fists, the scene he had been waiting for for a long time was about to come true!
