The two of them ran out of the crowd, and the drunk wanted to chase them, but they were blocked by a passing carriage, and after a while, Meishuang and the two of them had already turned out of the alley.

Sure that there was no one chasing after them, the two stopped, holding their knees and panting and exchanging glances.

In the teahouse, Meishuang and Jinghui sat opposite each other, and it could be seen that Jinghui was not a rich person, and Meishuang ordered a few dishes with the only few taels of silver on her body.

Jinghui was not polite, picked up the chopsticks and began to eat.

They were all hungry, and neither of them spoke when they were eating, and it wasn't until they were almost eating that Meishuang spoke, "Master Jinghui, why are you here?" ”

Jinghui put down her chopsticks, looked at Mei Shuang, and smiled faintly, "I also want to ask Miss Lin, is your surname Lin or Mei?" ”

Meishuang was stunned for a moment, no wonder the other party had this doubt.

was rescued by Jinghui by mistake by the riverside, even though she didn't recognize Jinghui's true identity at the beginning, Jinghui still recognized her, but in the eyes of the other party at that time, she was just Meishuang with "amnesia".

"My business, it's a long story, you can also call me Meishuang, but there is still a difference between me and her To be honest, I don't know anything about Miss Meishuang's previous affairs, and when I opened my eyes, I sat in a sedan chair and prepared to enter the palace for a wedding" Meishuang explained simply.

Jinghui nodded, "yes, I can see it." If it was Meishuang, the former concubine of the left prime minister, she would not have saved me; Moreover, when she was in the Buddha Hall, she would definitely find a way to kill me when she recognized me. ”

Meishuang was speechless, "Uh, she hates you so much?" ”

Jing Hui's dark eyes stared at Mei Shuang, and an imperceptible light flashed in her eyes, "It's not me she hates, what she hates is that I took away the person she wanted to marry."

"Take it?" Meishuang asked, "What do you mean?" ”

"Since you are not the Meishuang before, I think I can tell you the story of me and the emperor," Jinghui said lightly.

"Wait," Meishuang interrupted Jing Hui, "Let's go back to the topic just now?" How did you come out of the Buddha Hall? Uh, that, didn't the emperor go to you? ”

Jinghui lowered her eyes when she heard this, and her heart trembled, it was really her doing.

But this sentence still made her heart feel like it had been cut by a knife, and the emperor went to find her, but is the relationship between them still the same as it was at the beginning? Why did he stand in front of her, and she felt so far away? That kind of alienation can only be understood

When she raised her eyes, a faint mist rose under her eyes, and Meishuang couldn't understand it.

"Why did you ask the emperor to find me? Don't you like the emperor? Jinghui tried her best to suppress the sourness in her heart and asked.

Why? Meishuang was stunned and didn't know how to answer for a while.

She didn't know why she wrote down Chu Xiruo's whereabouts at the last moment, put it in that baggage, and put it together with Zhan Lujian.

After thinking about it, she said lightly, "What likes the emperor is Mei Shuang before, and I think you are more suitable to be with the emperor to be honest, because Mei Shuang broke you and the emperor before, and I didn't think I could live before I was guilty, so it's better to do a good deed and fulfill you and the emperor."

Looking at Mei Shuang's clear face, Chu Xiruo's lips hooked up a smile that seemed to be nothing, a little sad, and his tone was a little cold, "Do you think that letting the emperor go to me can fulfill me and the emperor?" ”

“”

Meishuang didn't know how to answer these words, her expression and her words didn't seem to have a good impression of her adult beauty.

Although she has many questions in her heart, looking at Chu Xiruo's current situation, if she is really as beautiful as she wishes, she is afraid that she will have already flown with Xiao Luo at this moment, how can she appear here?

After eating and paying the silver, Chu Xiruo said to Meishuang, "There is a nunnery on the outskirts of Qizhou, I came here a long time ago to burn incense and worship the Buddha, the abbot there is my mother's old friend, I want to go over, if you don't dislike it, let's go and see together, you can also talk on the road"

Mei Shuang is naturally in the right place, firstly, it is true that the silver on her body is exhausted, and secondly, Chu Xiruo's words and deeds always make her feel strange, and chatting about it can naturally solve her doubts.

The two of them walked all the way to the outskirts, where it was already twilight.

There is indeed a temple halfway up a dirt mountain, which looks lonely and lonely in the sunset.

In front of the temple, you can vaguely see a plaque of "Cheng'en Temple", which looks old after years, but the front of the temple is cleaned and clean.

Chu Xiruo stepped forward and knocked lightly.

After a while, the door opened, and a little nun wearing a gray monk's robe came out, and when she saw Chu Xiruo, she was a little strange, "Who are you looking for?" ”

Chu Xiruo clasped her hands together and said softly, "Jinghui asks to see the abbot." ”

Seeing that it was a person from the same family, the little nun quickly went to report, and with a little effort, a middle-aged nun with a kind face and a little rich came out, and when she saw Jinghui, she looked up and down for a while before she couldn't believe it, "Amitabha, oh my God, isn't this Miss Xiruo?" Y-What are you? ”

Chu Xiruo nodded, "I have seen the abbot, I am now called Jinghui, I came here, and I implore the abbot to take it in." ”

The abbot nodded hurriedly, and when he saw Mei Shuang wearing men's clothes next to him, he said vigilantly, "Jinghui, we accepted it, but there has never been a man in the temple, and I invite this donor—"

"Abbot, this is my friend, she's a woman, and she's just a man for walking."

"Oh, come in and talk." The abbot hurriedly introduced them to the temple.

The temple is not large, and the furnishings are shabby, and a few peach trees have sprouted buds inside, adding a touch of spring to this old temple.

After a few people sat down in the not spacious west wing, Meishuang looked around, only feeling that everything was clean, and she inexplicably felt a sense of steadiness in her heart.

The abbot asked Chu Xiruo kindly, "I haven't seen you for a few days, I don't know if your mother is okay?" ”

In fact, Chu Xiruo's current situation is like a mirror in her heart, if it weren't for the heavy changes in the family, how could a child born in a wealthy family become a nun?

mentioned what happened to the family, Chu Xiruo felt sour, and replied softly with tears in her eyes, "My mother has passed away."

Although the abbot was surprised, the cultivator looked down on life and death, and only gently recited "Amitabha" for a while before asking, "Which temple did you practice in?" It depends on you that you are still leading the practice, do you still have unfulfilled wishes? ”

Chu Xiruo got up, knelt down in front of the main field, and said after kowtowing solemnly, "Jinghui originally followed the Queen Mother's will to lead the practice in a remote Buddhist hall, but now that the Queen Mother has allowed me to come out, I will go to the abbot." Jinghui has no unfulfilled wishes, she just wants to be with the ancient Buddha of the green lantern in this life, but she is still alive, and begs the abbot to have mercy on Jinghui"

The abbot frowned slightly, looked at Meishuang next to him, and shook his head secretly, "Jinghui, you get up first." ”

Immediately, she instructed the little nun standing outside, "Help Jinghui to rest first, I have something to say to this donor." ”

Chu Xiruo looked at the abbot suspiciously, and saw that the abbot's expression was stern, and Mei Shuang was also ignorant, and said in her heart, what did the abbot have to say to a stranger who she didn't know?

Chu Xiruo went out, the abbot looked at Mei Shuang, and a trace of imperceptible complexity flashed in his kind eyes, and the trace of complexity quickly disappeared from the corner of her smiling lips, "May I ask the donor's name?" ”

"Huh?" Mei Shuang was asked coldly, and suddenly didn't know which of her big names to report, Mei Shuang, Lin Yuxiang, and Shen Sujun, who was used in Jiangnan, thought about it, and she said, "Lin Yuxiang." ”

"Oh?" Hearing this, the abbot seemed to have a trace of unexpected disappointment in his eyes, "How old is the donor?" Where do you live? ”

"Uh" Mei Shuang shrugged, reluctant to answer this question, but thought that the other party might be cautious so as not to take in someone of unknown origin, so she understood, "Master, Miss Xiruo and I are old friends, our age, it's about the same, and we've been in the middle of ten years."

The abbot nodded, knowing that the girl in front of her was also very vigilant, and she didn't want to say more, and she was not reluctant, since she was an old friend with Chu Xiru, it was the same to ask her, so she changed the topic.

"Donor, I noticed that there is some blue between your eyebrows, have you been injured?"

Meishuang is a little frightened, this is still a master, can you actually see that I have been injured?

She didn't tell lies in front of real people, she nodded, "The master is right, I was injured, but now I am better." ”

The abbot raised his eyebrows, "If I guessed correctly, your injury seems to be healed, but in fact it has hurt inside, and you often have headaches, dizziness and even heart palpitations, right?" ”

As soon as she heard this, Mei Shuang was completely convinced, and her face was full of worship, "The master is really godly, I do have this problem." It's just intermittent, but it's not a fatal illness, so I didn't take it to heart."

The abbot nodded, "I can see that you are a big-hearted person, and you must have experienced a lot, if you are willing to listen to me, you can stay steadfastly." Maybe it's good for you, it's not too early, you can rest first"

When Meishuang heard this, she couldn't ask for it, so she worshiped the abbot and lived in another room with the little nun.

- At night, the crescent moon hangs upside down in the sky like a hook.

The mountain air is cold, but it is quiet, which is very suitable for seclusion.

The fatigue of the past few days allowed Mei Shuang to sleep comfortably, and after she had eaten fasting, she went to bed and lay down, and went to meet with Zhou as soon as the quilt was covered.

In the courtyard, the abbot came out of the Buddhist hall, passed by the wing where Meishuang lived, looked in through the window, the moonlight shone on Meishuang's sleeping face, and the whiteness was tranquil.

The abbot sighed softly and was stunned for a moment before entering her room.

After closing the door, she lay on the bed with her clothes closed, but she tossed and turned, and she didn't feel sleepy.

The situation of seeing plum cream during the day is still in front of me, with fair porcelain-like skin and black and white eyes.

She let out a long sigh, "Like, it's really like a double decade, and there is nothing wrong with age, the only thing is her name, even Xiruo knows that her real name is 'Meishuang', but she actually calls herself Lin Yuxiang?" ”
