Chapter 773: The Night Meeting Stone Chamber

It was already dark, Wu Meiniang was tossing and turning in bed, she felt bad, she didn't even eat lunch, but she didn't feel hungry.

The nuns were frightened again during the day, and they didn't dare to offend her, and they still expected her to say two good words in front of Wang Xiangye in the future, so she didn't go to dinner, and the host nun actually sent someone to bring the meal.

After the palm lamp, it was pitch black in the stone room, Wu Meiniang turned sideways, looked at the small window, and thought: "That Ouyang Li is really true, why don't you send the window over, now there is a wooden board hanging on the window, and the room can't be seen in at all." ”

She got up from the bed, removed the wooden plank from the window to block the wind, looked at the moon outside, sighed deeply, and began to think of Li Zhilai again. When she was in Gyeongju, she and Li Zhi went on a trip, and they also sat under the moon and talked about their hearts, but now the moon is still the same, but she has become a nun, and Li Zhi obviously came to the temple today, but the two can't meet.

At this moment, suddenly there was the sound of hurried footsteps outside, and someone was running. Wu Meiniang hurriedly got off the bed, and as soon as she put on her shoes, she heard the voice of the second senior sister sound. Ran shouted outside the door: "Senior sister Likong, the big thing is not good, Wang Xiangye is back again, and I want all the senior sisters and sisters of the temple to go to the front yard, and I don't know what to do!" ”

Wu Meiniang was taken aback, how did Wang Ping'an go and return, and he wanted to see the nuns of the whole temple, what did he want to do? When I opened the door, I saw that I was standing outside with an anxious face. Ran grabbed Wu Meiniang and said, "Good junior sister, hurry up and go to the front yard with senior sister, now only you can talk to Wang Xiangye, and it's all up to you later!" ”

Wu Meiniang asked while walking with her: "Second Senior Sister, what's the matter, why did Wang Xiangye see the people of the whole temple?" ”

"I don't know, it's too scary, it's too scary!" By the way, he also asked to hand over all the gifts he gave us last time, what can I do, we have used a lot of things, and we can't return them! ”

Wu Meiniang looked back at the stone room, she still has a lot of gifts from last time in the house, such as candles or something, but she hasn't used them much! It's really weird, Wang Ping'an ran back and forth to ask for gifts, why is this, could it be that the emperor asked him to do this?

Her heart was pounding, and she couldn't understand why, Wu Meiniang followed her to the front yard. At this time, the front yard was full of people, and all the nuns of Hesi had arrived, and Wang Ping'an's face was gloomy, standing in the front, followed by several officers, all holding torches, staring at the nuns with horizontal eyebrows.

The host Lao Nun was scared in her heart, thinking that Wang Ping'an had come to find fault on purpose, but she thought over and over again, she had never offended the new prime minister, why did he embarrass the temple again and again, what is this for?

Wang Ping'an stood in front, also a little nervous, until he saw Wu Meiniang running from behind, and then he breathed a sigh of relief. He and Li Zhi returned to the city, rushed all the way to the Ganye Temple, and waited in the woods until after dark, when he entered the temple, while Li Zhi was accompanied by Ouyang Li and waited outside the temple.

In the name of returning the gifts, Wang Ping'an ordered the old nun to summon the nuns of the whole temple to come, and he called names.

The host Lao Nun stepped forward tremblingly, bent over, and whispered: "Wang Xiangye, all the people in the temple have arrived, if you have any matter, please tell me!" After saying this, she quickly turned around and waved at Wu Meiniang, asking Wu Meiniang to come forward.

Wu Meiniang didn't know what Wang Ping'an was going to do, so she walked over slowly, lowered her head, and stood behind the host Lao Nun.

Wang Ping'an's face changed suddenly, a smile appeared on his face, and he said: "Last time, I came to the temple and brought a lot of gifts from the emperor, I wonder if you have received them?" Well, it looks like the people aren't all here, right? ”

The host Lao Nun hurriedly said: "Back to the words of the king Xiangye, those new nobles who entered the temple did not come, didn't you order them just now, don't disturb them, except for them, the rest of the people are here!" ”

She was afraid that Wang Ping'an would make a fuss about those concubines and nuns, so she simply respectfully called them nobles, regardless of anything else, anyway, she told Wang Ping'an that she would never dare to abuse those nobles, please don't come to find fault!

Wang Ping'an thought to himself: "I don't interfere with the river water with your well water, to be honest, I am actually helping you by coming and going, so as not to suffer strong revenge in the future!" It's just a little more tossing now, it's better than losing your life later. In fact, it's very good to be a nun, you don't have to worry about eating and drinking, where to find this good livelihood now, it's a good job in Datang, and there is no pressure! ”

Wang Ping'an said: "Actually, there is nothing else, that is, the last time the prime minister came, he didn't hand over the gifts to the masters, and I don't know if those imperial gifts are suitable for you, and after returning to the palace today, the emperor suddenly asked, so the prime minister came again and wanted to ask you." ”

The old nun who presided over the temple and the nuns of the whole temple looked at each other, wouldn't it, just such a trivial matter? Why didn't you say it earlier, it scared us half to death!

The host of the old nun said: "Back to Wang Xiangye's words, those things are easy to use, very easy to use, please Wang Xiangye on behalf of the poor nun to play the emperor, the temple up and down, the emperor is very grateful for the reward, tomorrow will be held a Dharma meeting, for the emperor chanting and praying!" ”

Wang Ping'an smiled: "Okay, it's good for you to use the gifts." Okay, there's nothing else to do, after this sentence is asked, I'm going back. He waved his hand, made a posture of going out of the temple, took two steps but stopped, and said: "By the way, the temple is full of women, after you go back to the house at night, it is best not to walk around, let alone go out of the temple, guard the door, sleep honestly in the house, safety is the best, understand?" ”

The presiding nuns and nuns hurriedly thanked each other, but they thought in their hearts: "It's okay, we're idle, when it's dark, how can anyone leave the temple?" ”

Wang Ping'an walked outside the temple, and when he passed by Wu Meiniang's side, he said: "Don't go out to pick up water and chop firewood, remember to remember." With that, he glanced at Wu Meiniang and strode away.

The host Lao Ni kept sending Wang Ping'an out of the door, and when she came back, she asked Wu Meiniang: "Good apprentice, didn't you say anything to Wang Xiangye?" How did he know about you chopping wood the night before? ”

Wu Meiniang shook her head and said, "The disciple didn't say anything to Wang Xiangye?" After a pause, as if remembering something, he said, "I just mentioned it to Wang Xiangye's guards!" ”

The host Lao Ni thought to himself: "It's really terrible, how can you say anything!" She accompanied her smiling face and said, "Good apprentice, don't talk about the things in the temple in the future, don't talk about it to Wang Xiangye and his guards, just concentrate on cultivation!" ”

The senior sister's face was pale, her head was lowered deeply, she didn't dare to look at the master, let alone Wu Meiniang, I don't know what she was thinking in her heart.

The host Lao Ni waved his hand and said: "There are many things today, everyone is tired, go back to the house early to rest, don't do the evening class, go back, go back!" She was so tired that she did not want to say anything more, so she went back to her ashram, and the nuns went back to their respective rooms.

Wu Meiniang walked back to her quiet room, and when she arrived at the door, she saw that the door of the stone room was still open, and she was in a hurry when she went out, she didn't close the door, and was about to enter the house, when she suddenly remembered what Wang Ping'an said. Don't wander around, but also guard the door...... Hey, could it be that Wang Ping'an is hinting at himself?

Wu Meiniang's footsteps stopped, and her emotions suddenly became excited, could it be that Wang Ping'an was going to come over at night, afraid that she was not in the stone room and could not see herself? Even, is the emperor coming tonight?

As soon as she thought of this, she almost couldn't stand on her feet, and she reached out to hold the door frame, gasping for air, and thought, "Oh my God, my God, my God...... The emperor is coming, and I can finally see him again! ”

Finally, she stabilized her emotions again, slowly entered the stone room, closed the door, sat on the bed, only sat for a moment, jumped up again, took off the latch, opened the door and looked outside, and then closed the door again, this time she did not latch, and slowly sat back on the bed.

A heart is beating non-stop, the whole body is trembling with tension, and I want to scream, I want to jump, I forcibly endure it, but I am restless, and I can't say it's uncomfortable!

Waiting is the most anxious!

After a while, there was a sound of soft footsteps in the yard!

Wu Meiniang bounced up from the bed all of a sudden, her throat was dry, and she thought, "It's here, it's finally here!" ”

Bang bang, a soft knock on the door came!

In the woods outside the temple, by the creek!

Wang Ping'an walked out of the Ganye Temple, rode a horse along the avenue for a long distance, turned a corner, and made sure that the nuns behind him could no longer see him, so he went into the forest and went back again.

Entering the depths of the woods, he dismounted the white dragon horse, and let the guards lead the horse to follow, while he himself ran through the woods, trotting all the way to the stream, where Li Zhi was waiting.

Li Zhi sat on a rock, he, like Wu Meiniang, was also anxiously waiting, and he was also very uncomfortable. Waiting is the hardest for Wu Meiniang, and it is also very difficult for him!

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Li Zhi was like Wu Meiniang, who also bounced up from the stone, he quickly met it, and whispered: "Is it disease-free?" ”

Wang Ping'an came to him breathlessly and said, "It's the minister, the minister is back!" ”

Li Zhi was so nervous that his eyes widened, and he asked, "How is it, can you see that person?" There's that guy in the temple, right? Don't say that you didn't see it all, you didn't see that person, my feeling is not wrong, there must be such a person, there must be, there must be! ”

When he said this, he didn't seem to be asking Wang Ping'an, but he was trying his best to say to himself, to convince himself that his feeling was not wrong, there must be a nun in the temple, who looks exactly like Wu Meiniang!

Wang Ping'an gasped, nodded heavily, and said: "The emperor is not mistaken, there is indeed a woman in that temple, who is exactly the same as Mei Niang, and the minister almost thought she was Mei Niang!" ”

Until now, he refused to tell the truth, Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang's recognition, Wu Meiniang must say it herself, saying that she is "herself", she is not dead, so that Li Zhi will be the biggest shock, if he says it first, it will be of little significance!

As for whether Li Zhi will blame himself for hiding from him in the future, it really doesn't matter, it's a big deal to cry bitterly and ask the emperor for forgiveness. Li Zhi will only be angry for a moment, and then he will understand his good intentions, and he will trust himself more in the future, because he is all for his sake! Li Zhi is just cowardly and a little confused, but he is not so confused that he doesn't distinguish between good and bad people!

Li Zhi's body shook and his standing was unsteady, Wang Ping'an hurriedly supported him and said, "Your Majesty, take care of the dragon's body, it's just a woman, it's not worth it for you to do this for her!" ”

Li Zhi stood firm, put his hands together, grabbed Wang Ping'an's shoulders tightly, and said, "That person looks exactly like Mei Niang?" Can you see clearly? How exactly is it the same? ”

Wang Ping'an thought to himself: "It's all exactly the same, how else can it be like the law again!" He said, "There is something unusual, too!" ”

Li Zhi sighed, and then asked, "Why is it not like the law, where is it not like it?" Say it quickly, say it quickly! He became more and more anxious, and his heart was full of thoughts.

Wang Ping'an said: "The hair is not like it, the woman in the temple has no hair......"

Li Zhi was stunned for a moment, then pushed him angrily, and said angrily: "Of course the hair is not like it, Mei Niang is full of green silk, and that woman is a nun, how can a nun have hair!" ”

Wang Ping'an hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, the minister said it wrong." However, there is nothing that is not like it except for the hair, and even the voice of the voice is exactly the same! ”

Li Zhi suddenly fell silent, standing still, his body trembling slightly. Wang Ping'an didn't dare to squeak, looking at the emperor, and the emperor also looked at him!

After a while, Li Zhi said: "I'm going to see her, let's go to the temple now!" As I walked, I thought, you can find a reason for me to come out, why did you go to see a nun in the dark, and after you make it up, it will be up to you and the host to explain! ”

Wang Ping'an saw that he was going to the front door, so he hurriedly grabbed him and said: "The emperor is not in a hurry, you don't need to go to the front door, the minister has already asked clearly, that woman is not treated by the host, so she was arranged to live at the back mountain gate, living in a ** stone room, and there is no other quiet room nearby, so let's just go in from the back mountain gate, no need to go through the front door!" As he spoke, he pointed to the back mountain gate.

Li Zhi stopped, looked in the direction of the back mountain gate, and said, "Back mountain gate? Is that the back mountain gate? That's the back mountain gate, right? "He was a little confused, and he spoke quickly and urgently.

Wang Ping'an said: "Yes, just go in from there, other nuns won't go to the stone room when it's dark, let's just go in secretly." ”

Ouyang Li listened to it all the time, and when he saw that the emperor was so anxious, he said: "The emperor can go in to see that woman, if you go in too suddenly and scare her, the emperor doesn't have to worry, you talk to her, and the ministers hold her down for you and cover her mouth......"

Wang Ping'an was angry and funny, flicked his sleeves, and reprimanded: "What nonsense are you talking about!" ”

Ouyang Li grinned, proud in his heart, he didn't live in vain in his life, he even made jokes about the emperor, so cool, so cool!

Li Zhi didn't care what they said, he strode towards the back mountain gate, Wang Ping'an hurriedly followed behind, and whispered: "The emperor slows down, there are many woods here, it's not easy to walk, be careful of falling!" ”

The monarchs and ministers trotted all the way to the back mountain gate, Ouyang Li stepped forward and pulled out his waist knife, opened the latch from the crack in the door, and gently pushed the door open.

Wang Ping'an grabbed the emperor and booed quietly, signaling the emperor not to make a noise.

Li Zhiqiang endured the anxiety in his heart, walked into the back mountain gate, and looked in the direction of Wang Ping'an's finger!
