Chapter 40: Pursuing All the Way

The queen also breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"Don't you know, this emperor actually knows about Wan Qing's evil deeds in Kyoto City, but every time the emperor sends someone to check on him, he can always escape accountability, and because of the face of Prime Minister Wan Jinbao, he has always been able to tolerate Wan Qing's actions, and this prime minister is also Wan Qing's son, he must protect him with all his might, so now if you want to dispose of Wan Qing for a while, it is really a little difficult to do, after all, this prime minister has merit to the imperial court, and he can't do anything to him."

Qin Meiniang also sighed:

"Alas! If that's the case, I really don't know how many more disasters this Wan Qing will have to do before he is willing to give up, he is really something inferior to a beast. ”

The queen mother was stunned for a moment, and said seriously:

"I can pretend I don't know if he bullies others, or I don't care, but if he wants to continue to bully you, then it won't work."

Qin Meiniang couldn't help but feel a warm current in her heart, and asked rhetorically:

"Why is my mother so good to me?"

The queen was stunned for a moment and said:

"Don't say that, didn't I say it, save people to the end, send the Buddha to the west, otherwise, all the efforts I made before will be in vain."

Qin Meiniang couldn't help but smile and said:

"My mother is like my reborn parents."

The queen mother looked at Qin Meiniang and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, silly child, you are originally your mother's daughter! If it weren't for the original reason, how could my mother bear to abandon you, since abandoning you for all these years, I have been thinking about you every day, longing for me to see you again one day in this life, I didn't expect God to bless, our mother and son really met like this, I am good to you, it should be! My mother owes you a debt of absolutes.

On the one hand, Wan Qingzheng rushed to the direction of Lingyin Temple with his guards non-stop, wanting to wait for an opportunity to seize Qin Meiniang and bring her back to the house.

Soon, Wan Qing and his guards caught up with the team of the queen mother and her party who went to Lingyin Temple to incense, they suddenly slowed down their progress, and followed the position not far behind the queen mother and her party, observing their every move.

Along the way, Wan Qing didn't see the queen mother and her party stop at all, and he couldn't help but say to himself:

"Humph! I don't know what the relationship between this Qin Meiniang and the queen mother is, she actually saved her again and again, saying that she went to Lingyin Temple to incense, and gave free medical treatment to the people all the way, what bullshit! This is clearly trying to take Qin Meiniang out of Kyoto City! Qin Meiniang, I don't believe that this queen mother will be your own mother, she can protect you for a lifetime. “

Soon, the queen mother and her party rushed to the outside of Lingyin Temple.

The pine forest outside the Lingyin Temple is unusually lush, the temple is located in the position of this halfway mountainside, a row of oblique stone stairs goes straight up to the Lingyin Temple, the houses in the Lingyin Temple are also done intensively, there are all kinds of Bodhisattva and god stone carvings in several halls, these stone carvings are carved lifelike, it is very vivid, groups of monks come and go in the temple from time to time, there are occasional dignitaries who come to incense, the scene of the peak of incense.

The queen mother and her party stopped in front of the stone staircase under the Lingyin Temple.

The queen mother said to Qin Meiniang:

"The sedan chair has stopped, it is estimated that we have arrived at Lingyin Temple, let's go out of the sedan chair together and take a look."

Qin Meiniang then nodded and said:

"Well, Niangniang first, please, I'll break it later."

After finishing speaking, the maid next to the sedan chair immediately opened the curtain of the phoenix sedan chair where the queen was sitting, and said respectfully:

"Niangniang, Lingyin Temple has arrived, please get off the sedan chair."

The queen mother then slowly got off the sedan chair, and the maidservant stepped forward to support her.

Qin Meiniang followed and also got out of the phoenix sedan chair, saw the stone stairs in front of her, looked at the top of the temple, and saw that she had arrived at the Lingyin Temple.

The queen mother turned to look at Qin Meiniang and said:

"Mei Niang, you go up behind me, and when the incense is finished, I will send someone to send you home."

Qin Meiniang nodded and said:

"Well, Niangniang, please, Mei Niang is all at the behest of Niangniang."

After finishing speaking, the queen mother walked to the Lingyin Temple, slowly stepping up the stone stairs, and Qin Meiniang followed closely behind the queen mother.

When the abbot of Lingyin Temple heard that the queen mother had suddenly visited, he had already taken the people of Lingyin Temple to wait at the gate of the temple to greet the phoenix sedan chair.

Wan Qing and his guards lay in ambush in the woods outside the Lingyin Temple, and watched the Queen Mother and Qin Meiniang slowly walk towards the Lingyin Temple.

Wan Qing looked at Qin Meiniang, who was dressed as a man, and said disdainfully:

"If you want to disguise yourself as a man and follow the queen mother to escape from Kyoto City, it's really too small to look down on this young master, wait for the incense, I still don't believe that you can follow the queen back to the palace like this."

A guard beside Wan Qing stepped forward and said:

"Young master, what did you say that the queen mother came out to offer incense and took Qin Meiniang out? Isn't there such a fanfare for some other purpose? ”

Wan Qing said seriously:

"What a fool, what do you say you brought her out? Do you think it's as simple as just taking her out to incense, the queen mother wants to take Qin Meiniang out of Kyoto City, not to take her out of Lingyin Temple to make incense, after a while, Qin Meiniang will definitely be separated from the queen mother, go their separate ways, what we need to do is to wait for the rabbit, and when they come out after the incense, as soon as they separate, I can catch Qin Meiniang, and then no one will be able to save her. ”

The guard gave Wan Qing a thumbs up and said:

"The young master is really smart and clever, you can see this, it's really amazing."

Wan Qing said with a disdainful face:

"Otherwise, how can I be your young master?"

The queen mother and Qin Meiniang followed the abbot of Lingyin Temple and others into the temple.

As soon as the queen mother entered the temple, she took Qin Meiniang to incense.

The queen pointed to the mat under the statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva and said to Qin Meiniang:

"You and I will offer incense to Guanyin Bodhisattva and beg for the happiness and health of my family."

Qin Meiniang did not refuse, and knelt in front of the statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva with the queen mother, each with her hands folded.

"Thank you Guanyin Bodhisattva for bless my daughter, so that our mother and son can meet again, I hope you can continue to bless her, bless her with good health and happiness in this life." The queen mother closed her eyes and said silently in her heart.

Qin Meiniang also closed her eyes and said silently in her heart:

"Guanyin Bodhisattva, thank you for bless me, I was saved by the queen mother, and I hope you will bless Liu Feng will be fine, and bless him to come back to me soon."

After the two of them kowtowed, they slowly got up.

The abbot who was standing on one side immediately stepped forward and said to the queen:

"Niangniang, the old man has asked people to prepare some vegetarian food, please come over and eat it."

The queen mother nodded and said:

"Okay, thank you Master Abbot, by the way, I forgot to introduce to you, this is my goddaughter, Qin Meiniang."

When the abbot heard the queen's words, he couldn't help but look at Qin Meiniang in surprise, "This is, Niangniang's goddaughter?" “

Qin Meiniang then spoke:

"Abbot, I'm a daughter, but there is a reason for it, so I pretend to be this man."

The abbot suddenly realized:

"Oh, I see, I see, those two please."

The queen mother said to Qin Meiniang:

"When I'm done eating, I'll send someone to take you back."

Qin Meiniang nodded and said:

"Hmm."
