"Knock, knock, knock..."The sound of beating the wooden fish permeated the corners of Changxin Palace, and then dissipated with the sins of the world, one after another, one after another, in an orderly manner.

In the spotless Buddhist hall, a woman in a white dress knelt on a futon, holding a mallet in her right hand, and her left hand on her chest, knocking on the wooden fish with a focused expression, and her crisp and round voice spread to all parts of Changxin Palace.

"Mother, it's time to rest." Bizhu waited with warm water to clean her hands, "Niangniang, you haven't stopped all night since last night, and your body will be unbearable if you continue like this." ”

The sandalwood in the incense burner is clearly extinguished, and the light smoke lingers around the Buddha statue, and the Buddha statue in it laughs with compassion.

Fang Beibei shook it to stabilize his figure.

"Niangniang, you can't practice yourself like this anymore, you don't feel sorry for yourself, the slaves and maids feel sorry for you." Bizhu has words in her mouth.

"Have you ever been to see the talented people? How is she now? ”

"! When has it been and you're still thinking about her here? Bizhu's eyes turned red, "Can you think about what she did at the beginning, now that she has ended up in this situation, she is to blame, why are you still worried about her!" ”

"Now that the Fang family is only me and her, let's go over the previous ones."

"That's what you think, what about her?" Bizhu had a feeling of hating iron but not steel, "You were not treated well because she was in the Fang family, and you had to be angry with her when you arrived in the palace, obviously it shouldn't have been her when you entered the palace..."

"Bizhu."

Bizhu pouted: "Okay, let's not talk about the far, let's talk about the near." Niangniang, you have worked hard to hand people over to take care of her living and eating, for fear that she will be assassinated by the one in Yichun Palace. And what about her? Ever since I knew that I was happy, I always wanted to jump outside, and I also recruited King Zhaoyang, everything you bothered to arrange was ruined by her. Now, she killed her own child, and you went to the king of Zhaoyang for her, and stood in the cold wind for half the night..."

"Mother, don't be stupid, okay?" Bizhu saw Fang Beibei's pale face and couldn't bear to say anything after all, so she could only persuade her master to worry less.

The incense is swirling, and the breath of sandalwood is quiet and tranquil after it is lit.

The Buddha statue behind the incense is smiling compassionately, indifferently embracing all rights and wrongs, open-mindedly examining the lives of thousands of people under his feet, and painting their joys, sorrows, and sorrows into souls.

Only when it is burned to ashes can it become a Buddha empty.

"Bizhu, after breakfast, you can accompany me to Yilan Palace."

"!"

"I only have one relative, Sister Qing was still there before, but now I'm the only one left, Bizhu, I'm not her, I can't be ruthless." Fang Beibei's face had a hint of tiredness, "I've been a little uneasy since yesterday, and I always feel that this matter won't end like this." You accompany me to see her, now that such an incident has happened, she should also understand some things. ”

Bizhu replied sullenly: "Then you have to have breakfast first." ”

Fang Beibei smiled, in fact, the ups and downs of personnel in Hongchen are just for the food in their mouths and the love in their hearts, the people who are busy and conscientious for the meal, and finally rise higher and higher, but they are not greedy enough, like the late Fang Yeming, like Gao Fei who still asks for something; People who are in love, worried and trembling, even if they know the result, they are still lonely, like a moth to a fire, they have to burn themselves out before they can accept their hearts, such as Fang Baobao, such as herself.

Now I can't be regarded as having no desires, but I have no quarrel with the world, and Jing Jing has also understood a truth in this Buddhist hall.

Why bother? In the end, it's a place to be.

Return to dust.

"Now that my cousin has settled down, sister, you should also think about your future plans." Nie Leran stood up and added a cup of tea to the woman across the table.

"At the beginning, when Nie Jiazhai was trapped in Hidden Mountain, it was the prince and the king of Zhaoyang who saved everyone in Nie Jiazhai, and an agreement had been made at that time, and now the revenge of the Nie family's destruction has been avenged, and my cousin has also been buried in peace, everything that should be done has been done, and I should also go back to join Cheng Long and Cheng Hu together."

"Sister, our Nie family was slaughtered all over the house, it was wronged, we stood in Hidden Life Mountain for our livelihood, and now that the Nie family has been able to Zhaoxue, the original emergency plan is not counted, and the prince of Zhaoyang will definitely not take this matter to heart, why should my sister return to that sad place!"

Nie Yanran raised her eyes to look at her gentle sister in her memory, and suddenly felt a little strange.

Seeing Nie Yanran's scrutinizing eyes, Nie Leran felt that he was in a hurry, picked up the teacup and lightly moistened his wet lips, suppressed the eagerness in his heart, and then spoke again: "I think that our Nie family moved out of the capital at the beginning, and now that we are back, I think my father and mother must hope that the two of us can always be together, but if you go to the King of Zhaoyang, then what should I do?" Also, the cousin only came back for a few days, and he died in order to protect His Royal Highness the Prince. So sister, I hope you can live in this world safely. ”

"Moreover, now that the Nie family has been wronged, sister, you don't have to struggle in the power war of several of their princes, just do what you want to do happily." Nie Leran thought about Nie Yanran with a face.

Nie Yanran looked at Nie Leran's face, which was the same as herself, and did not doubt Nie Leran's intentions, she only thought that she was caring about herself: "Don't worry, I will be careful, besides, my cousin's revenge has not been avenged yet, I can't leave my vow and leave, otherwise it will be regarded as losing the face of my Nie family." ”

"As for your residence, I will explain it to King Zhaoyang, and presumably he will arrange it properly." Now Nie Yanran is thinking about the dead Nie Weiyuan, and for some reason, from the last time Le Ran left in a hurry and disappeared, and after coming back, she never had any explanation with Nie Yanran, Nie Yanran felt that Le Ran was hiding something from her.

"Yes." Nie Leran replied without saying a word.

The room is silent, there is no more speech, the original boiling water cut out of the tea, good tea, will still turn from hot to cold, and can no longer be eaten.

A cup of weak tea turned from hot to cold, Jiang Jingjie didn't know how many cups of herbal tea he had poured out, and almost rushed in to find someone, and finally when he couldn't wait any longer, Jiang Fangzheng appeared, along with Cao Shouyang, the son of the Cao family.

"I've seen Master Jiang." Cao Shouyang looked indifferent and performed a subordinate etiquette, which was obviously throwing the signboard of the Cao family's son-in-law far away.

Jiang Jingjie has been in the officialdom for so long, and people of all colors have seen it, greedy like Fang Yeming, unruly like Shengrui, and calm like Mo Yu, so he naturally understood Cao Shouyang's intention hidden in this etiquette, smiled, took advantage of the situation, and thought about helping them, anyway, it was harmless.

Looking at Cao Shouyang's handsome posture and cold face, that body's bearing is the most rare, looking back at his son, Jiang Jingjie couldn't help but feel sad in his heart, they are all of average age, similar family backgrounds, why is there such a big gap? "Thank you to Mr. Cao for taking care of the dog these days, and now there are some things that require him to go home, so I can only trouble Mr. Cao again."

"Dad, what are you doing? What do you mean? You didn't tell me beforehand! I'm good here, everyone is good to me..."Jiang Fangzheng was a little stunned when he heard what his father said, and after he was stunned, he felt a strong sense of loss, and he couldn't help jumping up when he thought that he could finally be with Monk Cao without incident.

"Shut up!" Jiang Jingjie snorted, Jiang Fangzheng really shut up, no way, you can't be financially independent, freedom of thought or anything is nonsense.

"I don't know what errand Master Jiang has for Jiang Gongzi next, can you tell me one or two?" Cao Shouyang looked at Jiang Fangzheng's aggrieved appearance and laughed in his heart, but his face did not show half a point, and he opened his mouth indifferently, as if what he asked was really just a casual greeting.

"Presumably, Mr. Cao already knew that the prince was assassinated a few days ago, and the prince was injured, but fortunately, it was only a skin injury, and it was not in the way."

Jiang Fangzheng couldn't help but interject on the side: "What does the assassination of the prince have to do with me? I'm a guard, just take care of the city gates, even if the prince wants to find the murderer, the city gates are guarded, and a holy decree is enough, and I don't need to resign from my current position, right? ”

Jiang Jingjie looked at Jiang Fangzheng's ignorant appearance, like a soft thorn stuck in his throat, and he couldn't spit it out no matter what.

"I discussed with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince when I retired from the court today, and asked you to be his entourage, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince agreed."

"You never asked me if I wanted to, if you didn't treat me as a child every time, never asked me how I felt, you can put me wherever you want, I won't go!" Jiang Fangzheng felt that he had never really been the master for himself, and now Jiang Jingjie's unscrupulous statement made him feel like a superfluous person, with nowhere to put it, and the dissatisfaction accumulated in his heart exploded instantly.

Jiang Jingjie didn't think that this would be the case, and he couldn't react for a while, but when he reacted, the anger in his heart was also ignited.

Seeing that the two fathers and sons were about to fight in front of him, Cao Shouyang felt a little helpless in his heart, he finally knew where Jiang Fangzheng's character came from.

"Lord Jiang, please give me two days for Jiang Fangzheng's matter, which is related to the city gate guard, and I can't be sloppy, I think Lord Jiang can understand it." Cao Shouyang's words were polite, but he didn't give others the slightest room for refusal.

Jiang Jingjie thought that he didn't tell the prince about the specific time anyway, and there should be no problem in two days, so he came down, seeing that he still had to face his son's face here, he didn't stay long, and Cao Shouyang said a few more polite words and left, and didn't say a word to Jiang Fangzheng before leaving.

Cao Shouyang sent Jiang Jingjie out, and when he came back, Jiang Fangzheng was gone. Cao Shouyang smiled, didn't ask others, picked up a rusty sword nestled in the corner of the wall and went out directly.

The sun rises in the east, and the warm morning sun breaks through the clouds little by little, carrying countless hopes.

A deserted martial arts field, a young man, a sword, slashing a stake like a stake, Cao Shouyang stood in the distance,
