Chapter 233: Reality and Illusion
/p> The sun is still hanging in the western sky. After the three halls of the Han Palace, there is the harem inside the carrying gate; The last light of the setting sun sprinkled the palace rooms and brick floors here.
Guo Wei was doing chores in the palace, her skirt shuttling in the orange afterglow, and the silk material was quite shiny, as if all the light was gathered on the dress.
When she is not in attendance, she usually wears ordinary clothes, and does not wear the princess's dress or regular clothes. Because the clothes prescribed by the etiquette system are very rigid from the style, color to pattern, what to wear is only related to the status level. Therefore, the dress of ordinary living can best see the preferences of the ladies.
Guo Wei was draped in a light purple silk gown, knee-length, and a simple six-pleated skirt underneath. She's only fifteen years old after all, and choosing some light colors is suitable for her. There are no patterns on the dress, and there is embroidery on the edge, which looks simple and elegant.
Her identity doesn't have to do anything, so she wears a long coat. The elegant and elegant long dress and the white lining collar make her immature and jade-white skin very white, which makes people feel good when they see it.
The eyebrows on her forehead are also a little more pretty, which is very suitable for her delicate little face. The big eyes on the small face and the petite below the cheeks make her look delicate and innocent.
Guo Wei made tea with her own hands and put it on the table next to Zhu Gaoxu. Seeing that he looked distracted, Guo Wei didn't speak.
At this moment, Zhu Gaoxu raised his head and said, "Thank you." ”
"Why is the prince so polite?" Guo Wei said softly.
Zhu Gaoxu said gently: "You don't need to do it, but you are doing it." Wei'er, if you're in a bad mood these days, you don't have to force yourself to please me. ”
Guo Wei was stunned for a moment, she understood what the prince meant: the matter about her sister made her feel bad.
When Wang Gui went to Beijing to deliver medicinal herbs to the queen, he took with him a letter written by Guo Wei to his parents and sister; When Wang Gui came back, he brought the shocking news of her sister's miscarriage!
After her sister became pregnant, she once enjoyed peonies, was entangled by a swarm of bees, fell into the pool, and then had a miscarriage! Her sister herself is not in danger of life, but the imperial doctor said that it may affect the future birth of the crown princess.
Guo Wei was restless for several days, worried and afraid of all kinds of things...... It is said that the crown prince, the crown princess Zhang, and the second princess Guo Yan all went to enjoy the flowers that day, why did the bees only sting Guo Yan? However, the palace has already made a decision, and everything is just an accident.
How much pain should my sister have in her heart?
…… At first, Zhu Gaoxu comforted Guo Wei. But in the past two days, Guo Wei found that Zhu Gaoxu was also worried, so she deliberately restrained her sadness, so as not to cause trouble for him.
The more times like this, the more Guo Wei can't let the prince get tired of herself.
Daddy's words rang in her ears over and over again: The whole family's fingers are on you!
And now that her sister is like that, Guo Wei feels that she can only count on herself, and she can't make any mistakes...... Guo Wei is even worried that what her mother said will come true: if she can't give birth to a grandson, she will be divorced!
Zhu Gaoxu may not do that, but his father and queen mother will make such an order?
Guo Wei carefully waited for Zhu Gaoxu while observing him. He sat in his chair, sometimes as if he had settled down, and let the sunset shine through the open window on him, still motionless, and it was as if he were hiding in the shadow of the light, even though the sun was shining on his robe; Sometimes Zhu Gaoxu's palm rubbed repeatedly on his forehead, but he seemed to be unaware.
There must be something important in the prince's heart!
She finally asked softly, "Did the prince also encounter difficulties?" "Huh?" Zhu Gaoxu raised his head and looked at Guo Wei again, and after a while, he said casually, "Wei'er don't worry, I'll take care of it." ”
Guo Wei said softly: "Don't worry too much, Lord Wang. In the body and mind of the concubine, no one is better than the prince. ”
After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu's eyes wandered on Guo Wei's face for a moment, and suddenly said thoughtlessly: "Even if others treat you as a tool, why should Wei'er treat herself like this?" ”
Guo Wei looked at Zhu Gaoxu in a daze: "Tools? ”
Zhu Gaoxu nodded: "You don't understand, I understand...... There is no savior in this world, and no one has ever seen Guanyin and Our Lady who save the suffering, everyone has to rely on themselves. He then said in an accentuated tone, "Including your father." ”
Guo Wei suddenly felt as if she had been stripped naked, and her little caution was seen through by the prince at a glance...... She herself is also very sad, but she is waiting for the prince with a good face, and she does have other plans.
Her voice trembled a little, and she blurted out, "The prince is my savior." ”
Zhu Gaoxu sighed, reached out to hold her soft, and said, "Wei'er remember my words, no matter when and where, I will protect you." ”
Guo Wei's teeth bit her lip lightly, looked at him and nodded.
Zhu Gaoxu muttered again: "Actually, my business is nothing more than waiting for the result. The reason why I'm worried is that I don't dare to think too stupid of my opponent. ”
……
Hu Hui's secret recital has been expedited to the Beijing Division. The Emperor summoned his confidants again and let several people know about the matter.
Yuan Heng came out of the imperial city and immediately rushed to Xuanzang Temple outside the Taiping Gate.
When I saw Dao Yan, Dao Yan had just returned from the imperial city, and he was taking off his official black gauze hat. Yuan Hui said with a sad face: "Master Daoyan, this matter is going to be bad!" Originally, only King Han dared to take in Ping'an, and he didn't want Mu Sheng to be so bold! ”
Dao Yan put the official uniform neatly on a straw mat, put on the monk's robe again, and his gray eyebrows were wrinkled together, but he didn't say a word.
Yuan Heng's movements were flustered, and his mood was a little nervous, "A while ago, the lower officials heard that Ping An went to Yunnan, and they have already determined that it was done by King Han.
Therefore, when Lu Zhen, the young secretary of Dali Temple, brought up the matter of Jianwen's old ministers Qi Tai, Qu Neng, and Sheng Yong again, the lower officials did not stop it, thinking that they could let the King of Han go around without eating! Xie Jin simply added fuel to the fire, and the lower officials didn't think there was anything wrong......"
He thought for a moment and continued, "The lower official thinks that even if he can't sit on this matter, at least there is nothing wrong with the truth. What do you think, you don't expect! Mu Sheng showed his feet so quickly, and he really put it on the royal case! ”
The translucent gaze in Dao Yan's triangular eyes remained on Yuan Jue's face: "Really evidence? ”
"Geng Qi, the fourth son of the Marquis of Changxing, had his whole family in Yunnan and left Beijing earlier than the King of Han; Besides, the Geng family and the Mu family are in-laws, who else is not sheltered by the Mu Mansion? Yuan Jue said eloquently, "Since the Mu Mansion can shelter the Geng family, it can shelter other Jianwen remnants." And the person who saw the safe entry and exit of Mu Mansion with his own eyes was Geng Hao, the son of Geng Qi! Can't this sit on Mu Sheng's private peace...... Master Daoyan's meaning, Geng Hao didn't see it, but just faked Mu Sheng? ”
Dao Yan shook his head, frowned and muttered: "What you see in the middle of the world, there is also nothing, there is non-existence and non-existence. ”
Yuan Hui was puzzled: "What's the solution?" ”
Dao Yan looked at him and said, "What the eyes see is not necessarily reality, or just an illusion. ”
"Huh?" Yuan Heng became more and more confused.
Dao Yan sighed: "Mr. Yuan knows how to meet people, but he doesn't know much about Zen. Yuan Jue said: "The saint is not interested in Zen. Last time, Wang Ning persuaded the saint to believe in Buddhism, which made the saint very displeased. He was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Then how can we see the truth?" ”
Dao Yan walked up and poked Yuan Heng's chest with his fingers, "It's not the wind, it's not the flag, it's the benevolent heart." ”
At this moment, the wooden bed "clicked" twice, and a gust of wind poured in, and the gray curtain fluttered gently. Yuan Jue immediately turned his head to look at the closed wooden window, staring at it with round eyes.
Dao Yan's voice said, "Mr. Yuan, it just happened to be windy. Close your eyes and don't let the wind distract you. ”
Yuan Hui had to close his eyes slightly. In the darkness of the void, Dao Yan's voice came again: "Ask your own heart, do you believe what Geng Hao has seen?" ”
After a while, Yuan Jue said, "I don't believe it." ”
"Alright." Dao Yan's voice said.
Yuan Heng opened his eyes and paced on the wooden floor for a while. He suddenly said, "I understand! Is it possible that everything Geng Hao saw was designed and arranged by King Han and deliberately used Geng Hao? ”
Dao Yan was noncommittal.
Yuan Hui hurriedly said: "The lower official has to hurry up and remind the saint not to believe Hu Hui's secret music!" ”
"And then?" Dao Yan asked.
Yuan Jue said: "Then...... The saint didn't think that Lu Zhen and Xie Jin had wronged the king of Han. ”
Dao Yan shook his head and said, "Definitely." Then the Holy Council thought that not only the courtiers had taken refuge with the prince, but even the advisers of the old Yan Wangfu were also the prince's people. ”
"Huh?!" Yuan Heng stood there.
Dao Yan let out a long sigh, he had already put on the monk's robe neatly, then walked to the futon and sat down cross-legged, and then reached out and touched the wooden fish and the wooden handle. He picked up the wooden handle and looked up and said, "Mr. Yuan, is there anything else to say?" ”
"This ......," Yuan Jue said, "That's it?" ”
"Tuk!" Dao Yan knocked on it, as if he was trying to make a sound, and said without raising his head, "In the future, if Mr. Yuan has no urgent matters, he will not go to Xuanzang Temple to walk around." ”
Yuan Hui seemed to have just eaten some dirt, and said with a red face: "It's just a secret performance of Hu Hui, and what he said may be false, so let's just admit defeat?"
King Han just used a little intrigue, and he was not clean in himself, so cheap him? The prince didn't do anything, he didn't do anything wrong, but he was supposed to be suspicious of the saints? The Holy One is the Wise King, and as a courtier, he should speak up and let the Holy see the truth......"
Dao Yan said: "Mr. Yuan is not a Buddhist. ”
One sentence choked Yuan Heng, he was stunned for a moment before he came back to his senses, Dao Yan meant to follow the previous sentence...... Tell him not to come to the temple too often, the reason is as simple as that.
"You are too anxious, what you do, it depends on fate, fate has not arrived, and you can't be in a hurry." Dao Yan spoke again, and then quietly spit out two words, "Yao Fang." ”
Yuan Hui stood thoughtfully for a while, sighed lightly and said, "The next official is leaving." ”
"Qingyuan, send off." Dao Yan raised his voice and shouted.
After a while, a monk opened the frugal wooden door, bowed with one hand, and said, "Mr. Yuan, please." ”
Yuan Hui had to walk out of the wooden door, and the sound of "tuk tuk tuk ......" knocking on the wooden fish came from behind him.
