Emperor Hengde didn't talk much to Shen Bai, so he asked her what was going on when she met the immortals and obtained the immortal law.

Shen Bai hid the fact that he was traveling with Zhao Che, and only said that he secretly went to the Gambling Stone Club, and met a charlatan who pretended to be a ghost inside, and felt that he had obtained the immortal law when he got a trick.

She was young and convinced of this, and after Shen Ruxiu's persuasion these days, she knew that she had been deceived, so she firmly believed that there were no ghosts and gods in the world.

There is nothing flawed in Shen Bai's statement, it is similar to the closing statement of Dali Temple, it is indeed a gambling stone meeting where someone in the gambling house saw that Shen Bai was young and lured her to indulge in gambling and let her go.

The matter has passed, and Emperor Hengde did not delve into it further, but only told Shen Bai a few words, asking her not to say such strange things in the future, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings and bad impacts, Shen Bai nodded again and again.

After staying in the imperial study for half an hour, Shen Bai was released, and after walking a distance, she slumped her shoulders and sighed with a frown.

Before entering the palace, no one told her that Her Majesty was going to check her homework, she had been playing so hard recently, what do you remember?

Shen Bai was a little frustrated, and didn't notice that the palace people didn't send her out of the palace, but took her to Yichen Palace.

When he was about to arrive at the gate of the palace, Shen Bai said strangely: "Why did you come here, aren't we going to leave the palace?" ”

The palace man bowed his head and stood up, and said respectfully, "The prince invited Young Master Shen to come in and talk." ”

How can there still be a conversation?

Shen Bai pouted and walked in with his hands behind his back.

Zhao Che asked people to prepare refreshments and wait in the study, Shen Bai entered the room, first saluted honestly, and then looked at the refreshments secretly.

The refreshments are made in the shape of a rabbit, delicate and cute, and they are delicious at first glance.

Zhao Che took in her small movements, knowing that her temperament had not changed much from before, put down the book in his hand, and asked in a deep voice, "What did my father ask you?" ”

Shen Bai replied truthfully: "Your Majesty asked me how I met the immortals and obtained the immortal arts, and I was admitted to my schoolwork, but I was just recovering from a serious illness, and my brain was not very good, so I am afraid that my Majesty will be disappointed." ”

Shen Bai pushed the responsibility on the illness with one mouth, Zhao Che didn't care about her schoolwork, and asked, "How did you respond to the matter of immortal immortals?" ”

"Of course it's all fake!" Shen Bai said categorically, "There are no ghosts, gods and demons in this world, they are all fabricated by people out of thin air to scare people, I am a person who has read the books of sages, and I should never believe these nonsense." ”

Shen Bai raised his height, as if he had been reborn because of this serious illness, like a new life.

Zhao Che said with a stiff face: "There are no outsiders here, to be honest, I really don't believe in those things?" ”

Shen Bai looked left and right, jumped in front of Zhao Che like a mouse, and whispered, "Your Highness, do you remember what the immortals told us that night?" ”

Zhao Che lowered his eyes and stared at her, with a few big words written on his face: Have you fed the dogs in all the sage books you read?

Shen Baicai slapped himself in the face regardless of his inconsistencies, and continued: "I have smallpox this time and it is very dangerous, I heard others say that I have been suffering from a high fever and can't wake up, but I don't think it myself, I just had a long dream. ”

Shen Bai was chattering, and deliberately betrayed Guanzi, Zhao Che asked cooperatively: "What dream?" ”

Shen Bai put his two hands to his mouth in the shape of a trumpet, pestled Zhao Che's ears and said, "I dreamed of the queen mother." ”

Zhao Che raised his eyebrows and didn't interrupt, Shen Bai saw that he didn't have any expression, he was a little disappointed, and asked, "Your Highness, why aren't you surprised at all?" ”

Zhao Che stiffened his face and said, "It's just a dream, it's normal." ”

"You haven't heard me get to the point." Shen Bai puffed out his cheeks, held Zhao Che's face, let him look at him, and said seriously, "The queen mother has taken me to many places in the past few days, we went to see Grandpa Wei, Uncle Wei, and His Royal Highness. ”

Shen Bai's eyes were dark and bright, as if they had been washed with water, Zhao Che saw his small reflection in her eyes, and he was inexplicably a little weak, and the next moment he heard Shen Bai say sullenly: "Your Highness, you have done something wrong, the queen mother said that you should not be so bold, even the imperial tomb dares to move." ”

With a bang, Zhao Che felt like his head had been hit with a heavy hammer.

The matter of the imperial mausoleum, he sent the dead soldiers to do it, and after doing it, the two dead soldiers had already committed suicide by poisoning, only he knew the truth in this world, Shen Bai had been recuperating in the Taifu Mansion, and he was guarded by so many people, it was impossible to know.

Zhao Che's hand hanging down his side was clenched into a fist, there was still not much expression on his face, Shen Bai stared at him for a while, thinking that he was wrong and really just a dream, but he still insisted: "I think I really met the immortal, but the immortal didn't want me to reveal his immortal traces, so he erased my memory, and I don't remember what happened that night." ”

Zhao Che grasped the key and asked Shen Bai: "Don't you remember what happened that night?" ”

Shen Bai drooped his head, sighed and said, "I only remember that we went in with a mask and walked around for a while, and I don't remember what happened next." ”

It's not the same.

Shen Bai didn't remember the events of that night, but Zhao Che remembered it clearly, he remembered that Shen Bai walked with him to the place like the land temple, remembered that Shen Bai made a bet with the other party and got a trick, which said that there was a technique to bring the dead back to life, and he also remembered that in a hurry, he also made a bet with the other party, and the bet was that the loyal ministers and good generals were covered with dry bones.

Zhao Che pursed his lips, Shen Bai didn't give up, and looked up at him expectantly and asked, "Your Highness, do you remember what happened that night?" ”

Zhao Che lowered his eyes, hid his emotions and said, "I don't remember either." ”

Shen Bai was disappointed at first, and then said excitedly: "That's really an immortal, it's possible that I am sick and my brain is burned and I don't remember things, but Your Highness, you are not sick, and you don't remember those things, it must be that the immortals cast a trick and sealed our memory, and it is written in the book." ”

Zhao Che thought about things in his heart, and responded casually: "Maybe." ”

"It must be."

Shen Bai said firmly, pacing happily with her hands behind her back, what an amazing adventure it was to be selected by the immortals, and she would definitely be able to achieve great things in the future.

Shen Bai was full of confidence in himself, and after having lunch in Yichen Palace, he went home happily to read.

However, she only had a moment's enthusiasm, and after only a quarter of an hour, she threw aside the book of sages and looked at the book.

Is it possible that these people who wrote the book actually met the immortals?

was hooked by the immortals, Shen Bai lost interest in gambling, and became obsessed with going to the opera garden to listen to the play, she was more interested in schoolwork than before, and Zhao Che did not detain her much.

The winter day is short, and the day passes without paying much attention, seeing that it is the end of the year, Emperor Hengde sent someone to Yunshan Temple, wanting Wei Ruzhao to come back to celebrate the New Year together, and like last year, Wei Ruzhao directly refused.

Zhao Che was not surprised to hear the news, he has experienced a lot of things this year, Zhao Che's mind is more mature, he no longer feels difficult to face Wei Ruzhao, and many of his previous thoughts have also changed.

Wei Ruzhao refused to return to the palace, so he went to Yunshan Temple to see him, which was nothing.

On the day of Laba, Zhao Che took Xiaobei out of the palace in a carriage early in the morning, and there were a lot of good things piled up on the carriage, all of which he carefully selected.

Although he mustered up the courage to go to see Wei Ruzhao, he still couldn't control the drumming in his heart, and he didn't know if he would eat the closed door, and he didn't know what he would say to his uncle if they met.

Today, everyone is celebrating the festival at home, there are not many people on the mountain road, Zhao Che threw Xiaobei and the Praetorian Guards far away, and one person quickly climbed the mountain and entered the temple.

It was already very cold, but the monks in the temple were not dressed thickly, probably because they had the belief of learning from themselves and purifying all sentient beings, so they did not allow themselves to covet warmth.

Zhao Che first went to the front hall to worship the Buddha and donated a large amount of sesame oil money, and then was led by Xiao Shami to the Zen temple where Wei Ruzhao lived.

Wei Ruzhao still lived in the same yard before, it had just snowed the day before yesterday, and the snow had not melted at this time, and white fluffy snowdrifts could still be seen on the walls and trees in the courtyard.

Zhao Che stood still at the door and said to the little novice, "You can go in and help me pass it on." ”

Xiao Shami smiled: "The donor is easy-going, there are not so many rules, the donor can go in by himself." ”

Hearing that Xiao Shami still called Wei Ruzhao like this, Zhao Chehu asked suspiciously: "Uncle has been in the temple for almost two years, why do you still call him Wei Shi not called the Dharma name?" ”

Xiao Shami said: "The host said that the Lord Wei Shi is still vulgar, and it is useless to get the Dharma name. "Passion

As if to verify the words of the little novice, a happy voice came from the courtyard: "Your Highness, why are you here too?" ”

Following the prestige, Shen Bai stood in the courtyard wearing a dusty monk's robe, the monk's robe was just right for her, her eyes were bright, her eyebrows were smiling, if she shaved her head, she would definitely be a very pleasing little novice.

This monk's robe can also be worn casually?

Zhao Che frowned and walked into the courtyard, standing still in front of Shen Bai, Shen Bai didn't feel that there was anything wrong with him, and spread out his hands in front of Zhao Che to show in a circle: "I didn't expect this dress to look good, Your Highness, don't you say?" ”

What's so nice about a monk's robe?

Zhao Che held her down and asked, "Who gave you what to wear?" ”

"When she went up the mountain, she fell, and her clothes were dirty and wet, and she was afraid that she would get sick, so she could only wear this first, and the clothes had already been washed and sent when they were dry."

Wei Ruzhao walked out as he spoke.

Like Shen Bai, he also wore monk's robes, but he was much taller than Shen Bai.

He was fourteen when he left Beijing, and now he is sixteen, he is a real young man, Zhao Che has also grown taller in the past two years, but he is not as fast as Wei Ruzhao, and Wei Ruzhao has the courage of an adult man at this time.

After staying in Yunshan Temple for almost two years, the nobility and anger on his body have dissipated a lot, and more is gentle and moist compassion, which looks like a smiling Buddha at first glance.

Zhao Che thought about thousands of scenes of meeting Wei Ruzhao again, but he never thought that the real meeting would be so peaceful.

Before leaving Beijing, Wei Ruzhao had a gloomy and manic temperament, he thought that the entire palace was the murderer of the queen, and he wanted to kill everyone to bury the queen, and even Zhao Che was hated by him.

Zhao Che thought that after meeting Wei Ruzhao, he might accuse himself of the Wei family's questioning, but at this moment, he felt that these things might be a thing of the past for Wei Ruzhao.

I haven't seen him for two years, Zhao Che's throat was a little choked, and when Wei Ruzhao walked in front of him, he called in a dumb voice: "Uncle." ”

Wei Ruzhao was stunned for a moment, then returned a Buddhist salute, and said lightly: "The past is gone, the donor still calls me to be dustless, this is the name I gave myself." ”

Although the host has not yet approved this legal name, it will always be recognized in the future.

Wei Ruzhao showed his determination in disguise, Zhao Che couldn't shout, Shen Bai came over and interjected: "Master Juechen, this dress looks so good, can you give me one?" ”

"Nonsense!" Zhao Che scolded, he didn't want Shen Bai to have anything to do with this kind of thing.

Wei Ruzhao was very tolerant, and said with a light smile: "It's all things outside the body, and the little donor likes to take them." ”

"Thank you, Master Jeechen." Shen Bai was satisfied, and learned the appearance of the little novice to Wei Ruzhao to make a gesture, Zhao Che's expression was a little stiff, Wei Ruzhao saw it, and said softly: "The Buddha is at ease in his heart, and it has nothing to do with what he wears and how he dresses, the donor doesn't have to be so taboo, she won't see through the red dust and become a monk just because she wears a monk's robe." ”

Wei Ruzhao said so, and Zhao Che was not easy to refute, so he suppressed his dissatisfaction and sat down in the meditation room with Wei Ruzhao.

There was a set of tools for making tea in the meditation room, and there was no one else here, so Wei Ruzhao skillfully began to make tea.

This is a delicate job, which can hone the mind, and Emperor Hengde also asked Zhao Che to slowly learn to taste tea.

Zhao Che quietly watched Wei Ruzhao's movements, and after a while, he couldn't help but ask, "Uncle, are you doing well here?" ”

He refused to call the Dharma name, but still stubbornly called his uncle.

Wei Ruzhao obviously expected such a situation a long time ago, and replied calmly: "Thank you for your concern, it's good here, and I'm fine." ”

The charcoal fire kept simmering, and there was not much water in the pot, and it was quickly hot, and Zhao Che quickly felt the warmth when he sat there.

He subconsciously still relies on Wei Ruzhao's uncle, Emperor Hengde was restrained by the family and couldn't help himself, Wei Li is old, and he has been sick and not suitable for work, Zhao Che didn't dare to tell them a lot of things, and when he came to Wei Ruzhao, the grievances that had been suppressed and restrained unconsciously spread.

He whispered, "Uncle, I've not had a good time in the past two years. ”

Wei Ruzhao paused for a moment, continued to simmer the cup, and said: "All living beings are in a variety of ways, it is common for them to be unsatisfactory, the donor is from a rich background, has no worries about food and clothing, and is thousands of times smoother than many people, so remember to be content and happy." ”

This is a phrase they often use to comfort pilgrims, and it has no effect on Zhao Che.

Zhao Che didn't listen to a word, and continued: "After the death of the queen mother, I found out that the imperial grandmother was partial to the Li family, and she had long been eyeing the family business of the Wei family. ”

In front of Wei Ruzhao, Zhao Che did not hide it, he didn't want Concubine De and the Queen Mother to succeed, so he had to make a countermeasure.

Wei Ruzhao glanced at Zhao Che, and that glance was very compassionate, as if he had crossed the bitter sea and stood on the shore, but when he turned around, he found that Zhao Che was still struggling in the bitter sea.

Zhao Che was stung by this gaze, and anger swelled in his chest, he didn't believe that these Buddhas and Dharmas really had such powerful magical powers, and it only took two years for his uncle to care about these grievances.

"Although my father told the world that he would not establish a queen in the future, but the time is still long, no one knows what will happen in the future, if the throne is still occupied by Concubine De, the next moment it will be coveted by my crown prince, the Wei family has declined, I am not like the fourth brother and the Li family as a backer, many people in the court will not really surrender to me.

Once I make a wrong step, they will grab the handle and drag me down from the position of the crown prince, I have already remembered when the queen mother died, they will not leave me to live in the world, can my uncle really watch me and the people of the Wei family die at the hands of others in this Buddhist temple and be indifferent? ”

Zhao Che said a long word, and the last sentence he almost shouted, Wei Ruzhao's calm and calm was broken, his hand trembled, and the teacup fell to the ground and shattered, making a crisp sound.

The atmosphere froze for a while, and Shen Bai, who was playing in the yard, was attracted, poked his head in, and asked curiously, "Are you fighting?" ”

Zhao Che took a deep breath, pointed at Shen Bai and said, "There will be no shortage of disputes over the throne since ancient times, and my life should be like this, what about her?" She had the right to choose her own life, and it was the queen mother, my uncle, and I who forcibly decided her future. ”

Boom!

Wei Ruzhao slapped the table, and when he raised his eyes to look at Zhao Che again, his eyes were already a little scarlet, and he almost couldn't suppress the surging anger inside.

Shen Bai was startled, afraid that they would really fight, so he walked in and said, "Buddha Gate Pure Land, let's have something to say, don't do it." ”

Wei Ruzhao ignored Shen Bai, stared at Zhao Che and said: "But in two years, you have learned the art of scheming well, and you have attacked your heart every word, but don't forget, I am four years older than you, and I can be regarded as watching you grow up, this kind of thing, don't use it on me." ”

Zhao Che was a little disappointed, he didn't expect Wei Ruzhao to calm down so quickly in this situation and see through his tricks.

But he was not discouraged, he changed his aggressive appearance, and said in a soft tone: "Except for the queen mother, my uncle is the person who knows me in the world, no matter what I do, I naturally can't escape my uncle's eyes." ”

Zhao Che's uncle almost defeated Wei Ruzhao's Qing cultivation in the past two years, Wei Ruzhao didn't go around the bend with Zhao Che, and said bluntly: "Rui Xuan, I'm not as powerful and capable as you imagined, so you will be executed at that time." ”

The assassination of the emperor is supposed to be to behead the nine clans all over the house.

Wei Ruzhao said very calmly, but Zhao Che saw that his hand on the table was clenched into a fist, and the tendons on his forehead and neck were also bulging and tight.

He was desperately trying to restrain his emotions.

Zhao Che still had a lot of strategies that were useless, but seeing Wei Ruzhao like this, he was suddenly reluctant to use those tricks.

This is his own uncle, the person who can risk his life for him.

Zhao Che also choked up in his heart.

Unable to stay any longer, Zhao Che got up and said to Wei Ruzhao, "I'll come to see my uncle next time." ”

After saying that, he strode away.

When I got out of the meditation room, the warmth was blown away by the cold wind, and the sky changed, and I was afraid that it would snow again.

Gotta get down the hill quickly so you don't get stuck here.

Zhao Che pursed his lips and walked forward, but he didn't go far, his sleeve was grabbed, Shen Bai panted and ran to him, complaining, "Your Highness, why did you leave me behind." ”
