Chapter 101: Miaoyin Temple
"I don't blame you, Qingrong is my sister, and I've been looking for her child all these years.
Ji Tong did not ask whether the meaning of this "sister" was before or after marriage.
He just looked at Empress Wen with a little urgency, since she brought up this topic, she definitely wouldn't just stimulate him.
Empress Wen don't look over her head: Don't look at me like that, this palace is not as powerful as you imagined. Although there is some information, most of it is plausible, after all, so much time has passed, and I will tell you when this palace is implemented. She reverted to calling herself, the master of the palace, the harem, an identity that would never have anything to do with him.
"Xie Niangniang." Something is better than nothing, as long as he is alive, there is always a chance to find Qingrong's child.
Empress Wen obviously didn't want to say anything more: "Okay, you go down." β
"The minions are gone." Ji Tong saluted respectfully and withdrew from Yukun Palace.
The moment he stepped out of the threshold, Ji Tong glanced back at the ghost, only to see that under the lights, Empress Wen looked indifferent, sitting in the huge palace like a puppet.
In the past 20 years, she has lived this kind of life, and no matter how many years there are in the future, it will definitely not change.
Ji Tong suddenly wanted to turn around and ask her, do you regret it?
But in the end he didn't say anything and walked out.
The Si people have passed away, and it is a shame to ask anything.

It was already midday, the sky was slightly blooming, and Hua Qian lay beside Xue Jinian and listened to him tell the story all night. In these experiences, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is full of white bones and bloody rain, she is just a listener, and she also feels the murderous aura in those words.
He has been able to get to this point today, and the pain and hardship inside him are completely incomprehensible to outsiders.
is different from her identity as a princess who fell from the sky, everything he has today is something he has fought for by himself, but he gave up for her. Silver
Hua Qian stroked Xue Jinian's knee and slowly pasted her face on it, she decided that she would treat him well in the future, his loss was too great.
He just said that the reason why he went to Tianguan Temple to pick up the princess was completely because of the incident, if it weren't for the Huai Wangfu's bad intentions, I'm afraid that she, the princess of Changning, would not be remembered until now.
Everything is just the bureau of Emperor Xuantong. He and she are just pawns.
Fortunately, she didn't have any expectations for the pair of parents in the palace, and now they are scattered, which is really good.
Hua Qian sighed, her father was really good, fortunately she and he escaped quickly, otherwise, he might not be able to calculate when he died.
"It's dawn, let's go." Xue Jinian moved his calves, which had been pressed for half a night, and handed it to her: "Dress up, see that the weather is going to snow, let's go early and return early." β
Having said so much, there was one thing that Xue Jinian didn't tell her, that is, his rebirth, he was afraid that she would ask her who she was with in her previous life, he was afraid that she would misunderstand that he would like her in order to repay his kindness, and he was also afraid that she would misunderstand him to take revenge on Shen Ye.
Hua Qian yawned: "Okay." β

The road up the mountain was fairly flat, and it didn't take long for Hua Qian to see a temple. It's not big, the yellow walls and black tiles are shrouded in a morning mist.
It was early winter, and in the morning when the frost hung on the branches, a small gray-clothed novice nun stood at the door, holding a piece of black charcoal with a tongs and dipping it into the bucket at the door. She casually put it in the dustpan and picked up another piece. But I heard someone behind me talking: "Excuse me, is Master Miao too there?" β
She was stunned, turned to look at the pair of extremely good-looking men and women in front of her, and asked thoughtfully, "I don't know what the donor is doing to find Master Miao?" β
Xue Jinian stepped forward and said kindly: "I have a relationship with Master Miao, when she left that day, she said that if there is something to do, you can come to her at any time, and it will be hard to trouble this master." β
The tone was polite and polite, not at all as cool as the crazy drag he had when he went to Tianguan Temple, Hua Qian smiled in her heart, she thought he was used to playing prestige, and she didn't know how to communicate with normal people.
"Not only to find the host, but also to invite two poor nuns to come."
"Thank you, little master."
Shami Nun led the way to the door, Xue Jinian was two steps behind, and pulled up Hua Qiancai to go inside together.
The courtyard in the temple is relatively small, and the several Bodhi trees in the courtyard are extremely large. Although it is winter, it is still tall and green.
Xue Jinian pulled Hua Qian and whispered to her everything around him as he walked: "This small temple is not full of incense, and you have to burn all the charcoal used in winter, don't underestimate these, when it snows heavily, you can count on it to keep warm." β
"Have you done that before?"
Xue Jinian shook his head: "I was still young when I left, and I couldn't do anything, so I had to be taken care of by Master Miao until I left with my father-in-law." β51
"Father-in-law? Who is your father-in-law? I've never heard you mention it. Hua Qian asked suspiciously.
"This is a long story, I will tell you carefully when I have a chance in the future, and I will see Mrs. Miao in a while, don't say anything first."
"yes, okay." Hua Qian nodded obediently, she didn't know Mrs. Miao, what was there to say.
Turn a corner, and you will see the main hall.
Mrs. Miao stood at the entrance, looked at Xue Jinian, and slowly smiled: "It turned out to be Lord Xue, the poor nun has been waiting for a long time." Amitabha. β
"Mrs. Shi, see you for a long time."
Mrs. Miao let the two into the hall, and the novice nun served tea before they each sat down.
"After a long time, Master Xue Shi will be fine."
"Tuo Shitai's blessing, everything is fine."
"Who is this?" Master Miao smiled at Hua Qian, which was a greeting.
Xue Jinian was a little embarrassed, he coughed, and then replied: "She is Hua Qian, this time, I specially brought her to ask my mother for peace." β
Before the words were clear, Master Miao already understood, she suddenly smiled at Hua Qian, nodded, and said, "It's a good girl, your mother is in the spirit of the sky, she will definitely like it." β
Hua Qian was stunned, the future mother-in-law died?
Master Miao looks kind, has lived in the nunnery for a long time, and has a charm that sees through the world. She looked at Xue Jinian lovingly, with nostalgia in her eyes: "If your mother is alive, she must be very happy." β
Xue Jinian was silent for a long time and said: "She is an old man who is not blessed, and it is also my unfilial piety as a son." β
The two chatted for a while, and Mrs. Miao got up and led the two into the back room, where there was a wooden tablet with a book on itβXue Shaofen's position.
There is no writer, and there is no inscription of any background.
Xue Jinian took three pillars of incense, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, Hua Qian followed him, and also kowtowed to his mother-in-law. Facing the wooden tablet, she silently said in her heart: You are old, I accepted your son, and if I have a bite to eat in the future, I will never let him drink soup, the sky is bright!
Xue Jinian's expression was very religious, Hua Qian did not dare to slack off, and his face was even more sincere and cautious. However, looking at Miaoyuan Shitai and Xue Jinian, they seemed to be in a heavy mood, and Hua Qian couldn't say anything, so he could only continue to talk to the mother-in-law of the wooden tablet.
But I heard Master Miao's words: "Now that you have grown up, some of Shaofen's relics will be handed over to you together, and the poor nun is also old, and it is not good to say whether I can see you again in the future." β
Xue Jinian clasped his hands together and said: "But it's up to the master to decide." β
Master Miao nodded and said, "This girl will rest here for a while, and you will come in with me." β
Xue Jinian responded and said softly to Hua Qian: "You can sit for a while, or go to the yard for a walk, and I'll come when I go." β
"Well, you don't have to worry about me, go quickly, don't let the teacher wait too long."
Seeing Xue Jinian walking into the inner hall, Hua Qian withdrew her gaze, and she bowed to her mother-in-law's tablet again, and then bored to find a place to pass the time.
Master Miao took Xue Jinian around a small corner, came to a simple room, pushed open the door, although everything inside was old, but there was very little dust, I think it was often cleaned.
Miaoyuan Shitai said: "This is where your mother used to live, I have been asked to clean, it is still clean, you can rest here tonight." β
Xue Ji Nian glanced up and glanced around with nostalgia, he had almost no memory of his childhood, and even Miaoyuan Shitai had a vague impression under the advice of his father-in-law.
Over the years, he sent people to look after this place, but he never came once. Now that I have set foot in this place, the vague impression I once had is much clearer.
Xue Jinian said: "Thank you, Mrs., but I still have unfinished business with Qianqian, and there is not enough time, when the matter here is finished, we will set off immediately." "Without a safe exit from Kyoto, any stay is a hidden danger.
Mrs. Miao didn't force it, she took out a burden from the cabinet, handed it to Xue Jinian, and said, "The things in this bag belong to your mother, and now the poor nuns belong to their original owners." β
"Thank you for your kindness for keeping it for so many years."
Master Miao smiled too much, looked at Xue Jinian with some sentimentality and said: "Say goodbye today, I don't know when we will be able to meet, there are a few words, and the poor nun wants to vomit quickly." β
"Mrs. Shi, but it doesn't hurt to say it."
"You open the baggage first."
Xue Jinian didn't know why, he hadn't come back in his previous life, so he didn't know if his mother still had a story here, so he obediently opened the baggage, in addition to a few old clothes, there were also some jewelry, he subconsciously pulled it, and then his eyes shrank violently.
