Although Gongsun Yifan felt that such a result really affected his wisdom in his life, but now that everyone was dead, it was impossible for him to resurrect the dead, so he had no choice but to report the matter to Shen Wu'an truthfully.

Shen Wu'an didn't react much after hearing this, he just frowned and thought for a while, and said, "No matter what, this matter must be explained to those ministers." ”

"How does the emperor plan to explain to them?" Gongsun Yifan asked with an attitude of humbly asking for advice.

Shen Wu'an clasped the imperial case in front of him with his fingers, and replied after a while: "The matter of the explanation will be handed over to Dali Temple to deal with, you let people hand over the things found to Dali Temple, and you don't have to worry about the rest of the matter." ”

"Okay." Hearing him say this, Gongsun Yifan breathed a sigh of relief, he had always been reluctant to deal with those ministers in the court, and Shen Wuan's words just fell into his arms.

No matter what the final result was, the rumored matter had finally come to an end, Shen Wuan's brows were slightly relaxed, and he was also in the mood to care about other things, "When do you plan to leave?" ”

"I was going to leave as soon as this matter is over, but seeing that the New Year is about to begin, it would be desolate enough to celebrate the New Year alone, if you are still on the road, it will really be impossible to work!" Gongsun Yifan paused here before continuing: "So, let's wait until after the New Year." ”

Seeing that he had already decided, Shen Wu'an didn't say anything more.

Royal Zen Monastery.

After living here for a few days, Qu Wurong's master and servant slowly got used to the life here, listening to the morning bells and dusk drums every day, as well as the sound of the masters' chanting, and even their mood calmed down a lot.

When there is nothing to do, Qu Wurong will also take Jin Yu and Liangyuan to the front to chant the Buddha with all the masters, at first the interest of the two girls was quite high, but after reciting the scriptures for a few days, they said that they didn't want to go again, the reason was that the sound of chanting was too hypnotic, and the two of them almost fell asleep directly in the Buddhist hall several times!

Hearing the two girls say this, Qu Wurong didn't force them, after all, it was her own business to decide to chant with the masters, there was no need to force the two girls who were not interested in it at all to participate, in case one day they really fell asleep in the Buddha hall and collided with the Buddha, then her sin would be great!

However, Qu Wurong herself was very happy with chanting, because she found that every time she did this, her heart would become calmer than ever, as if the impurities in the world had been washed away by the sound of the Buddha, and it became clear and pure.

So, originally she just wanted to pass the time with nothing to do, but slowly it became that she had to spare an hour or so every day to be in the Buddha hall, thunder and snow.

On this day, Qu Wurong returned to the small courtyard from the Buddhist hall, and as soon as she entered the door, she saw all kinds of things in the courtyard that had not had time to be cleaned up, this was not the first time she had seen such a scene, so she did not show a surprised expression on her face, but asked routinely: "Xiao Zhengzi and Xiao Qizi have sent things again?" ”

"Hmm." Jin Yu, who was moving things into the house, took the time to answer her, and did not forget to instruct, "Miss, be careful when you come in, be careful not to trip!" After saying that, he went into the house with the things in his hand.

Qu Wurong glanced at the things piled up in the courtyard roughly, and found that they were all New Year's goods, and it seemed that the three of them were going to celebrate the New Year in this royal Zen courtyard.

After realizing this fact, Qu Wurong was not disappointed in her heart It was fake, this was the first time she said goodbye to the old and welcomed the new after she married Shen Wu'an, of course she hoped that Shen Wu'an could be by her side, but she also knew that with the current situation, this wish was unlikely to come true.

Taking a deep breath to clean up his mood, Qu Wurong carefully avoided the things piled up on the floor, walked into the house, and as soon as he walked to the door, he met Liangyuan who was walking out from the inside, "Miss, are you back?" Must have frozen, right? Hurry up inside and warm up! ”

There was a brazier burning in the room, Qu Wurong felt the warmth like spring as soon as she entered the door, she took off her cloak and handed it to Liangyuan, walked to the table and sat down, "Huh? ”

Liangyuan was about to hang up the cloak, and when he heard her voice, he glanced back at it and explained, "Oh, that's the letter brought by Xiao Zhengzi and Xiao Qizi just now, saying that the emperor asked them to pass it on to Miss." ”

Hearing her words, Qu Wurong picked up the envelope on the table and opened it, took out the letterhead from it and looked at it.

"Miss, what did the emperor say in the letter?" After Liangyuan hung up the cloak, he turned around and saw her sitting on a chair in a daze, still holding an open letter in her hand, and couldn't help but ask curiously.

Pulled back to his thoughts by her voice, Qu Wurong shook his head gently, and replied while putting the letterhead in his hand back into the envelope: "I didn't say anything." ”

Hearing that her affection didn't seem to be high, Liangyuan didn't ask any more questions, and went to the yard to continue to pack things.

Shen Wu'an's purpose in writing this letter was mainly to inform Qu Wurong of the results of his investigation, and he also mentioned in the letter Qu Wurong's suspicion of Qu Wurong before, but after Yuan Ping, who was the source of the rumors, died, all the clues were cut off, and no one in this world could prove that Qu Wurong had anything to do with the rumors, so even Shen Wu'an had nothing to do with her.

This result was actually within Qu Wurong's expectations, she knew that Qu Wuwu was very careful and would not let her handle fall into the hands of others, which could be seen from the many confrontations between the two of them, all of which were Qu Wurong's instigation of others to come forward and hide herself.

What really made her feel depressed was that Shen Wu'an mentioned at the end of the letter that because he couldn't catch the real mastermind behind the scenes, he couldn't convince those stubborn ministers to eliminate the bad influence of those rumors on Qu Wurong, so let her endure it for a while longer.

Although Qu Wurong guessed that she was going to stay in this royal Zen courtyard for the New Year this year, but after really confirming the news, she still couldn't help but be sad.

At dinner, Qu Wurong told Jin Yu and Liangyuan about staying for the New Year, but the two girls didn't have any special reaction, but Jin Yu asked casually: "Will the emperor come?" ”

As soon as her words fell, she was hit on the arm by the good fate next to her, and seeing the look that the other party gave her, Jin Yu realized that she had made a mistake in speaking without going through her brain, but it was a pity that the words she said were like water spilled out, and it was impossible for her to take it back.

Qu Wurong didn't seem to notice the small movements of the two people, and replied as usual: "He didn't say it, but I don't think so, there are a lot of things to do that day, and he should be too busy to spare time to come over." ”

Chinese New Year's Eve is the last day of the year, according to the rules of the Great Liang Dynasty, on that day the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty will go to worship the sky, Shen Wu'an, as the emperor, naturally wants to go with everyone, and will also set up a banquet in the palace at night to comfort the ministers who have worked hard for a whole year, I am afraid that he will not be able to spare time if he wants to!

Hearing her words, Jin Yu and Liangyuan glanced at each other, and pretended to be relaxed: "Then this year, only the three of us will celebrate the New Year together, and we must cook a lot of delicious food at that time, and then eat them all, so that we will have full of good luck next year!" ”

"You know how to eat!" Seeing that as soon as she talked about delicious food, both eyes were about to glow, and Qu Wurong and Liangyuan couldn't help but purse their lips and laugh.

"Who said that?" Jin Yu glared and retorted, "Xiao Zhengzi and Xiao Qizi also sent a few fireworks today, and I will show them to you when the time comes!" ”

The three of them finished their dinner with a smile, seeing that the sky outside had completely darkened, Jin Yu and Liangyuan quickly cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks on the table, and then called hot water to serve Qu Wurong to wash and change clothes, the winter night was cold and long, and there was nothing else to do in this mountain Zen courtyard, the only thing to do was to go to bed early to rest.

A few days passed in a blink of an eye, and on the morning of Chinese New Year's Eve, Jin Yu and Liangyuan got up early in the morning, cleaned the yard inside and out, hung red lanterns on the Bodhi tree outside, and finally took out the window flowers they had cut a few days ago and pasted them.

When Qu Wurong got up, the two girls had already been cleaned up, and looking at the new scenery outside, she finally realized the taste of the New Year.

After breakfast, Qu Wurong still went to the Buddhist hall, knowing that the master's recitation of the Buddhist scriptures would not be delayed because today was Chinese New Year's Eve. However, after she went, she found that today's scene seemed to be different from the past, usually the masters of Zongbo Temple and Jingxin Nunnery were doing their homework separately, after all, even people outside the square still paid attention to "men and women do not kiss". But today, the masters on both sides gathered together, and everyone sat together on the main hall, and the sound of neat chanting resounded through this century-old temple.

When Qu Wurong came back from the Buddha hall, it was already past the hour, Jin Yu and Liangyuan were sitting in the room chatting over the fire, and when they saw her enter the door, they stood up and greeted her, one took off the cloak on her shoulder, and the other stuffed a warm hand stove into her hand.

"Miss, I have just told the master in charge of the meals in the nunnery that I will borrow their kitchen today." Jin Yu hung up her cloak and said back to her young lady.

On weekdays, their three meals were sent from the meditation nunnery, and they ate the same as those masters, but today was Chinese New Year's Eve, and she didn't want to eat those light and tasteless meals anymore, so she went to borrow the kitchen early in the morning, planning to cook some delicious food herself, and sacrifice her five internal organs temple.

Qu Wurong nodded, "You remember to go over earlier, don't delay the masters' evening class." ”

"Yes, yes!" Jin Yu agreed and walked out, but after a while, he poked his head in from outside the door, winked at her and asked, "Miss, do you want to make dumplings with us?" ”

Making dumplings? Qu Wurong was slightly startled when she heard this, she knew that she was going to eat dumplings on Chinese New Year's Eve, but she really hadn't done this kind of thing personally, thinking about it should be quite interesting, so she nodded and agreed.
