Chapter 37: Out of the Palace

"Jiang Wan, why did you suddenly say that?"

Jiang Wan suddenly felt that he shouldn't have said so much to Xia Yahan, so he smiled, "It's just a little boring, you can listen to it as a joke." ”

Xia Yahan looked at Jiang Wan, she was a smart person, so she didn't ask any further.

After Jiang Wan sent Xia Yahan away, he was about to rest for a while, but at this moment, Lu Zhixing came. Jiang Wan was very surprised, Lu Zhixing didn't need to come here to visit her all the time, and she didn't need his visit.

Lu Zhixing saw Jiang Wan who was about to close the window, and saw that she looked healthier because she had recovered, Lu Zhixing's heart felt like a stone falling to the ground, but Lu Zhixing didn't care too much about this feeling.

Jiang Wan closed the window for a moment, and then walked out with Ping'er to greet him. Jiang Wan was preparing his luggage but was stopped by Lu Zhixing.

"You're just recovering from a serious illness, so you don't need to be so polite."

"Thank you Your Majesty for your compassion, I don't know why Your Majesty is here?"

Lu Zhixing paused and said, "Didn't Officer Xin want me to stand in this courtyard and finish speaking?" ”

The chief manager gave Jiang Wan a look at this time, and Jiang Wan paused for a moment and then reacted.

"The slave is rude here, and I hope Your Majesty will not dislike it, please come in."

Lu Zhixing nodded and walked in, he had never entered Jiang Wan's room yet. Although the room was small but very clean and tidy, Jiang Wan was ready to open the chair for Lu Zhixing, but Lu Zhixing came first.

"I'm here because I haven't seen you once before, and now that you're healed, I should come and see."

Xian'er poured a cup of tea for Lu Zhixing, Lu Zhixing rarely did not refuse, took a sip of the teacup, and then said, "Xin Guannu arrested the real murderer this time, I didn't think about what to reward, so I made you a wish?" ”

In fact, it is more of a reward for compensating, for him to put her in prison for delaying the army, and for the compensation for having people torture her in his previous anger.

Jiang Wan can be said to have suffered a lot of grievances in this case, and he can't say it openly, so he can only use this way to express his guilt and make up for it.

Jiang Wan was a little surprised when he heard this, when would this emperor be so good to him.

"The slave maid in this case is one of the people involved, and the trouble for the case is also because it is related to the life and death of the slave maid, and Your Majesty's reward is indeed not light."

Jiang Wan wanted to refuse, but Lu Zhixing's performance made her suspicious. Lu Zhixing saw Jiang Wan's refusal and knew that Jiang Wan was suspicious of himself.

"I will never take back what I said, so you should think about this wish, and come to me when you think about it."

After saying that, Lu Zhixing took people away, leaving Jiang Wan with nothing to say and Hire'er with a confused face.

"Master, what's going on?"

Although Ping'er is a palace maid, she also knows how significant the emperor's promise is. Jiang Wan's reaction was not as big as Hire'er's, she thought about it and felt that since Lu Zhixing took the initiative to give her a chance, then she needed to take advantage of it.

Jiang Wan felt that his idea of leaving the palace had come to fruition. However, if she told Lu Zhixing that she wanted to leave the palace, Lu Zhixing would definitely not agree, and the first thing to do was to have a reasonable reason to leave the palace.

Jiang Wan looked up at the bookshelf on the side, there were several Buddhist scriptures on it, and Jiang Wan's eyes lit up.

On the second day, after Lu Zhixing went down to the court, he met Jiang Wan, who came to find him.

"Slaves and maids see Your Majesty."

"Lady Xin, have you considered the wish I made to you?"

"Exactly."

Jiang Wan has never had such a good attitude towards Lu Zhixing.

"Let me hear it."

"The slave and maid implore Your Majesty to let the slave and the slave maid's maid hire their children to go to the royal nunnery to practice."

Jiang Wan's words were not taken back as soon as they came out, and Lu Zhixing's expression was complicated after hearing it, and he almost thought that he had heard it wrong. Jiang Wan's request was not to improve his status or to be rewarded with jewelry, but to invite himself to leave the palace, which surprised Lu Zhixing.

"Have you figured it out?"

"Since the slave maid came out of the cold palace by His Majesty's grace to see the light of day, she devoted herself to the Buddha, and only thought about accompanying the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha for the rest of her life.

Jiang Wan's expression was indifferent when she said this, and her eyes were clear, as if she had already comprehended Buddhism, and she only sought the freedom of body and mind in the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

Lu Zhixing looked at Jiang Wan like this, and he seemed to see the former wife standing in front of him and telling him that she was going to leave him.

"Are you sure you're not thinking about it anymore and really going to the Imperial Nunnery?"

Lu Zhixing's words at this time seemed to have the intention of retaining, but Jiang Wan didn't care, she just wanted to leave this place and go anywhere.

"The slave and maid know that it is not easy to practice, but the heavens will descend on the people, and they must first work their muscles and bones to starve their bodies and skin, and the slave and maid are willing to bear it for the Buddha."

Jiang Wan wanted to leave, Lu Zhixing looked at her determined appearance, but his promise had been made and could not be withdrawn, so he had to agree to her.

Jiang Wan returned to Luoyunxuan and told Ping'er to pack up his things and leave the palace in the next few days. Ping'er couldn't understand why Jiang Wan left for a while and came back talking nonsense, and reached out to touch her forehead.

"I petitioned His Majesty to go to the royal nunnery to practice, and I didn't feel at ease if I left you alone in the palace, so I took you with me, will you complain about me?"

Xian'er was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then remembered the wish that Lu Zhixing said yesterday and understood. Jiang Wan had the heart to leave the palace, she had sensed it before, but she didn't expect it to be realized now.

Jiang Wan's casual words to Xia Yahan that day, in fact, were also put in his heart by the side.

"Where the master is, he is hiring, but he is practicing in the nunnery, and he is not afraid."

Jiang Wan took Ping'er's hand, and being able to have such a loyal person as Ping'er was the greatest relief for her Jiang Wan to come to this world. Because Jiang Wan was actually not going to return here when she went to the royal nunnery this time, she felt that she had to say goodbye to Xia Yahan and the Queen Mother.

Jiang Wan went to Xia Yahan's yard, and Xia Yahan was embroidering in the house at this time. Jiang Wan saw that the door was open, so he called at the door.

"Yahan, are you in the room?"

"Jiang Wan, you're here, come in."

Jiang Wan walked inside and found Xia Yahan embroidering a veil. Xia Yahan was very pleased with Jiang Wan's arrival, so that Jiang Wan didn't know how to speak. Xia Yahan saw Jiang Wan's embarrassment and thought that Jiang Wan had encountered something.

"What's the matter, this look of wanting to speak and stopping?"

"Yahan, I'm going to leave the palace in the next few days to go to the royal nunnery to practice, I'm afraid it will be difficult to see each other again in the future."

Xia Yahan was also stunned after hearing this, and the needle in her hand accidentally stuck on her finger. Jiang Wan saw it and hurriedly took her own handkerchief to help her stop the bleeding, but Xia Yahan didn't seem to feel pain.

She withdrew her hand, remembering what Jiang Wan said to her against the light that day, it turned out that she had long wanted to leave this palace.

"Why, is this what Your Majesty meant?"

Xia Yahan thought that it was Lu Zhixing's punishment for Jiang Wan, so she wanted to go to him to intercede for Jiang Wan, Jiang Wan held her shoulder and comforted her.

"This is my own request, no one forced me, it's because I don't want to be in this harem anymore."

Jiang Wan saw that Xia Yahan had calmed down, sighed and said to her, "I escaped this time, it's hard to guarantee that there will be a next time, I just want to live well, but someone in this harem wants me to die, do you understand?" ”

Xia Yahan knew the meaning of Jiang Wan's words, she looked at Jiang Wan's firm eyes, and then sighed, "I know, I understand you, but it will inevitably be a little sad for me to lose such a good sister." ”

Jiang Wan looked at Xia Yahan, who was helpless and bitter, and gave her a hug.

Jiang Wan left Xia Yahan and went to the queen mother's bedroom. The Queen Mother knew that Jiang Wan had made no choice but to stop her, and she only hoped that Jiang Wan could take care of everything.

"Jiang Wan thanked the Queen Mother for rescuing her many times before, but Jiang Wan was going to live up to the Queen Mother's high expectations."

"Anyway, since the last time I talked about the mourning family, I know your intentions, this palace has given you too much harm after all, and it's not a good thing for you to leave here."

The Queen Mother looked at Jiang Wan, she regretted that she had failed to protect this child, and let her suffer so much and suffer so much in the harem.

When Jiang Wan left, the Queen Mother closed her eyes and muttered silently, "Pinglang, the mourning family failed to protect your daughter, and the mourning family is ashamed of you." ”

Mama Liang walked to the Queen Mother and put her hand on the Queen Mother's shoulder, "The Queen Mother doesn't blame herself." ”

The Queen Mother knelt on the futon in front of the Buddha statue and clasped her hands together, "I hope the Buddha can bless Jiang Wan." ”

The practice of the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha is bitter, very bitter, although she was the queen mother at the beginning, her practice is also according to the rules, it is not so easy to persist for many years.

It can be seen how determined Jiang Wan was to leave this place.

But Jiang Wan didn't plan to accompany the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha often, she was not a devout believer. She was going to the royal nunnery, and then she found a way to leave with her son.

It's just that an official woman and a servant girl have disappeared, and they won't make any waves. When the time comes, she will be able to take her hired son away and fly away, to a place far away from the imperial city, and she will not be afraid to support the two of them with her business experience in the 21st century. What's more, she has already saved a lot of money herself, and there is enough entanglement on the road.

When it came to the day when Lu Zhixing wanted to send them out of the palace, Lu Zhixing did not appear, and he arranged for carriages and guards to send them away. At the side gate of the palace, the carriage was already waiting.

"Hire'er, we're going to leave when we're done."

"Well, the slave is now cleaned up."

Jiang Wan and Ping'er arrived at the side door, but Jiang Wan saw a familiar figure, it was Xia Yahan and Mo'er who came to see them off.

"Yahan, why are you here?"

"I'm here to see you, I don't know when we'll see you again today, I have embroidered this veil overnight, you can take it."

Jiang Wan took the handkerchief in Xia Yahan's hand, the handkerchief was very exquisite, and her Anhui character was embroidered on one corner.

Jiang Wan was very moved, "If I have the opportunity, I will definitely write to you." ”

Ping'er also said goodbye to Mo'er, and then the guards urged the two to get into the carriage. Jiang Wan poked her head out of the car window and saw Xia Yahan and Mo'er waving to her.

"Goodbye, Yahan."
