Chapter 405: Gift of the Sword
() "Master, what do you mean?" Yin Qingqi asked tentatively.
"Female benefactor, you will have a calamity in the near future." The abbot sighed and shook his head helplessly.
"It will even affect the rest of your life, although I don't know what you have experienced, but it is not difficult to see that your recent inner turmoil is a precursor to a catastrophe."
"Abbot, what should I do?" Yin Qingqi bowed his head and listened silently to the master's enlightenment.
"The Dharma is immeasurable, if you beg the Buddha, there will inevitably be an answer, but the answer is already in your heart, so why ask others?" The abbot smiled and looked at Yin Qingqi lovingly.
"Master, the little woman is dull, and I hope that the master will enlighten." Yin Qingqi's heart was full of pain, this feeling entangled Yin Qingqi's heart, and she couldn't calm down for a long time, and even turned over in Yin Qingqi's heart.
"Master, I love someone deeply, but we can't be together."
After a while, Yin Qingqi said slowly.
"Someone has been waiting for me to respond, but I don't love him."
The abbot sighed silently.
"Child, everything in the world, there has never been a clear truth and falsehood, hesitation and choice, it proves that you have not finished forgetting, nor have you finished falling in love, the reason why you are nostalgic for the past is nothing more than because, you are nostalgic for all that happened in the past, if you have a choice now, will you still be like back then?"
"No, it won't." Yin Qingqi shook his head indifferently.
If there is a choice, Yin Qingqi would rather be born in an ordinary people's family and find a husband who loves him.
"Then you go with the other person." The abbot shook his head.
"Maybe you don't love him, but in the bottom of your heart, you always feel that today's life is a kind of shackles, for a long time, your heart has long been closed, what you need is to escape from the capital, escape from here, not like now."
"But Abbot, I can't go, I'm gone...... I'm afraid the world will be in chaos. Yin Qingqi's words are not exaggerated at all, she believes that Qi Yuan's temperament will definitely make some extraordinary moves, and even if she does not hesitate to give up the throne and leave the capital, she will find Yin Qingqi's whereabouts.
"Abbot, I really can't leave." Yin Qingqi shook her head helplessly, with a cry in her voice: "If I leave."
maybe, nothing will happen, or perhaps, the people will not have a good life. ”
"Could it be that you are the Daji beside the king?" The abbot said with a smile.
"Female benefactor, you are just too attached to it, besides, you are kind-hearted, and you can rest assured that the people of Li are not like this, if this is the case, that person is not worthy of being called the Son of Heaven, he has never been the material to be the king of a country, why do you bother to force all the blame on yourself? Female benefactor, you should think about yourself. ”
"You shouldn't have said that." Yin Qingqi's face turned cold and stared at the abbot.
"Female benefactor, if you are a monk and do not lie, why can't you say it? Besides, the Son of Heaven is the son of all living beings, and he should have done anything out of the ordinary just for the sake of the country and the people, just for the sake of trivial matters, do you think, is this Son of Heaven qualified? The abbot was full of smiles and enlightened Yin Qingqi.
"Thank you, Master, for your advice."
Yin Qingqi got up silently, kowtowed to the Buddha statue three more times, and then left.
Qi Yuan waited outside for a long time, his shoulders were full of snowflakes, and the oil-paper umbrella in his hand was closed, standing quietly in the snow, like a black sculpture.
Dressed in black, the mink robe on his shoulders dragged to the ground, his cold face seemed to blend with the weather, Yin Qingqi looked at his beautiful face, but at this time there was a mourning in his heart.
"What's wrong?" Qi Yuan saw that Yin Qingqi's face was not good, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask.
"You've got a cold, don't get it any worse." Yin Qingqi opened the oil-paper umbrella and covered it in front of Qi Yuan.
"It's okay, it's just a minor illness, and it doesn't hurt." Qi Yuan shook his head and smiled at Yin Qingqi.
The abbot went out to see him off, and Yin Qingqi looked at the expression on his face, knowing that he had probably guessed who was coming.
Yin Qingqi didn't know whether the abbot was trustworthy or not, after all, this matter was a crime of losing his head, Yin Qingqi didn't mean to be timid at all, she was just worried that Xue Tan would be implicated.
"Let's go, return to Beijing." Yin Qingqi instructed his subordinates, who hurriedly went out to prepare the carriage and waited for the two to leave for the palace.
For several days in a row, Yin Qingqi was a little confused, and he didn't even know where he was, and every time he woke up from the middle of the night, there was a deep fear that eroded Yin Qingqi's heart.
Yin Qingqi said to Qi Yuan, and Qi Yuan also agreed that Yin Qingqi would move back to Qingmu Palace, but his face was a little unhappy
Outside the pavilion of Qingmu Palace, the huge lake has condensed on the surface of ice, and a group of people are waiting to clean the house, Yin Qingqi is sitting at the head of the bed, and the peony is waiting to burn the fire, so that the house is too cold.
After a while, the subordinates served some preserved fruits and melon seeds, Yin Qingqi was bored, and only ate two bites, and then together with the snacks, the ministry rewarded the subordinates.
"Mother." Peony quietly came over, with a huge package in her hand, held by oiled paper, with a strange shape.
"What is this?" Yin Qingqi approached curiously and carefully looked at the things in Peony's hand.
"Niangniang, I don't know who sent such an object, saying that I was afraid that you would be bored in the palace, so I took this thing to make you happy." Peony handed the thing to Yin Qingqi, Yin Qingqi glanced left and right, and then untied the dense oiled paper.
"What is this?"
Yin Qingqi looked at the object in front of him and was extremely happy.
It is a finely carved soft sword, the sword is sharp, the hilt of the sword is engraved with a dragon and a phoenix, the red spike roots are distinct, and a fluorescent green jade is passed on it.
Even the dragon's eye has been replaced by a delicate jadeite, and the ingenious technique is breathtaking.
"Who sent this?" Yin Qingqi hurriedly took Peony's hand and asked hurriedly.
"I don't know, it was sent by the next person, and he didn't say it clearly, but he said that he must hand it over to Niangniang himself, saying that Niangniang must be very happy when she sees this thing." Peony said suspiciously.
"But looking at Niangniang's posture, he really didn't say it wrong, Niangniang really liked this thing."
"Go down." Yin Qingqi waved his hand and admired the sharp sword alone in the room, the jade on it was of excellent quality, even Yin Qingqi had never seen it.
"Could it be Xue Tan?" Yin Qingqi carefully examined the jade on the hilt of the sword, in terms of material and texture, only the piece of jade that Xue Ling'er gave herself in the past could be compared.
And that piece of jade has been hanging on Yin Qingqi since Xue Ling'er died, although it was given to Siniang later, Yin Qingqi still clearly remembers the texture and color of the jade.
Yin Qingqi looked out the window, the moonlight shone on the blade of the sword, shaking a bright chill, and some places in Yin Qingqi's heart were slightly loosened.
"Xue Tan, are you really willing to offend the prince for me?"
