Chapter 54

The concubines were stunned, and opened their eyes wide to see the mysterious masked woman, who was only more than ten steps away from the emperor, and suddenly pounced on the emperor like a butterfly spreading her wings.

This blatant gesture of throwing hugs in front of the public was really abrupt, and when he was caught off guard, even Xiao Luo was stunned, and subconsciously stretched out his arm to pick up the oncoming woman.

He grabbed Meishuang and turned his face slightly to the right, lest the other party's mask might touch his face directly.

But the next moment, he understood, his worries were unnecessary.

Mei Shuang's head was buried in Xiao Luo's hard arms, and the gold thread on the crisp dragon robe rubbed against her little face was a little painful, but she endured it.

Fang Cai obviously walked well, but she didn't expect that suddenly her knees were numb, and a force from nowhere directly pushed her forward.

If Xiao Luo hadn't caught her, she would definitely have smashed a dog and eaten shi. Obviously, the other party's intention was to let her fall on Xiao Luo's body, otherwise, the distance would not be so accurate.

She lay in Xiao Luo's arms, without the slightest intention of getting up from his arms, Xiao Luo had already seen her mask fly to the side, and he also saw the complicated eyes of the concubines around him.

In front of everyone, openly hugging a woman, he was also a little embarrassed, and then stretched out his arms, ready to let Meishuang stand up.

I only heard Mei Shuang whisper in his arms, "Your Majesty, first, I didn't mean it; Second, I can't see people without a mask. ”

Xiao Luo was a little amused in an instant, the first point, he was not a fool, he could naturally see the strangeness, and the second one, he lowered his eyes, "Raise your head." ”

Meishuang was speechless, "I'm afraid of startling the Holy Driver." ”

"You are not guilty."

Well, Mei Shuang raised her head a little, as if she wanted Xiao Luo to have a buffer time for psychological acceptance.

Sure enough, when Xiao Luo saw Mei Shuang's slowly raised forehead and large and small red spots on her face, the corners of her lips twitched, and the uncomfortable look that flashed in her eyes made Mei Shuang's heart happy, it seems that this brave emperor on the battlefield also suffers from "dense phobia".

Not only Xiao Luo, but also some of the timid concubines beside him who were sharp-eyed but timid, also saw the red spots on Meishuang's face, and the involuntary sound of gasping one after another made everyone dare not pay too much attention to Meishuang's true face. In fact, it is difficult to recognize the true face of a person with red spots all over his face.

It's just that after a glance, some concubines couldn't help but vomit, and secretly regretted it, they were really curious to kill the cat, and when they looked at it, they didn't know how many days they couldn't eat or sleep.

Even Concubine Chen was startled, disgusted and confused, how did she become like this? However, with this virtue and this dignity, I dare to pounce on the emperor, I am really immeasurable, I bah!

Xiao Luo swallowed a mouthful of saliva, looked at the innocent look in the dark eyes in his arms, and said helplessly, "Come on, bring the mask." ”

Queen Meiru always watched this scene quietly, she also wanted to see what was so bad about Meishuang under the mask, but she didn't expect it to be really unsightly.

At that moment, her heart sank, and her good face actually became like being stung by a bee, thinking that Meishuang regarded her little face as life, and now she has also suffered retribution.

However, she did not only pay attention to Meishuang's beauty and ugliness like other concubines, she clearly captured a trace of indescribable look flashing in the emperor's eyes, and there was helplessness in the face of that ugly face, although it was fleeting, but this made Mei Ru extremely shocked, so that the hand holding the brocade cloth in the wide sleeve was clenched fiercely. She had never seen such a look in the eyes of this cold and ruthless emperor. Even the occasional warmth, I haven't seen it a few times.

Especially the brief conversation, such as the usual chat, between the monarch and the minister, where have you ever seen such a casual?

Mei Ru only felt that the blood in her body was flowing rapidly, gathering to the place where her heart was raging, and she could almost hear the sound of her heart beating violently.

This woman, what has she experienced, has made the emperor change so much in such a short period of time.

She took a deep breath, raised her head slightly, and when Xiao Luo ordered to bring Meishuang's mask, she stopped Gonggong Li and said lightly, "Wait." ”

Then he moved his body and came to the thin silver mask, and bent down to pick it up.

This scene made the concubines look at each other and be stunned, the queen mother actually deigned to pick up a mask for an ugly woman of unknown origin?

Mei Shuang, who was shrinking in Xiao Luo's arms, also saw this scene, and saw Mei Ru pick up the mask and walk over with a smile, she was surprised, especially when she saw Mei Ru's gentle smile, which made her even more afraid.

But if he continued to hide his face in Xiao Luo's arms, it would be too deliberate and disrespectful, for fear of being recognized by Mei Ru, so Tongtong, who hurriedly left Xiao Luo's body, raised his wide sleeves to cover his face up and down, revealing only his two eyes and the small hands on the outside of the cuffs, and said busily, "Thank you." ”

Unexpectedly, Mei Ru did not directly send the mask to Mei Shuang's hand, but said softly, "Don't be afraid, put your hand down, this palace will know some medical skills, if you can trust it, this palace should try its best to heal you." ”

“”

Mei Shuang was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly excused herself, "Thank you, the queen mother, your face is so ugly, how dare you disturb the queen mother?" He stepped forward, ready to take back the mask.

Mei Ru looked at the mask in her hand, and no longer reluctantly, handed it to Mei Shuang.

Mei Shuang quickly took it and turned her back to buckle the mask, while cursing psychologically that she had been conspired against.

And looking at the hint of meaning in the corners of Mei Ru's lips, I am afraid that she has already recognized herself.

At this moment, Gonggong Li came over and said something in Xiao Luo's ear, Xiao Luo nodded, and walked towards the prayer hall.

The prayer hall has long been full of incense, and in the middle is the golden Buddha about three zhang high, overlooking all living beings, and the treasure is solemn.

There are rows of yellow brocade round mats on the ground.

Under the leadership of the temple monks, Xiao Luo and a group of concubines knelt down one after another.

Mei Shuang just chose the last position, only to hear Xiao Luo say lightly, "Let Miss Lin come to the front." ”

Gonggong Li had to hurry over and said meaningfully to Meishuang, "Please, Miss Lin." ”

Meishuang was stunned for a moment, and then quickly got up and came behind Xiao Luo, there were already monks from the temple who put a mat on the ground, and Meishuang knelt up.

Immediately afterwards, the host of the Jokhang Temple announced the start of the prayer ceremony, and then the monks outside the main hall began to chant.

The sound of chanting echoed in the empty hall, and Mei Shuang folded her hands and kowtowed to Xiao Luo's kowtow.

After kowtowing and chanting, Xiao Luo got up, and a monk stepped forward to hand over the incense.

Meishuang's eyes widened, huh? Wasn't that the sky at the inn that day? He is really a monk of the Jokhang Temple.

After Xiao Luo took the incense, Yunkong stepped aside, lowered his eyes respectfully, and folded his hands.

After the emperor and queen finished offering incense, they knelt down again and continued the blessing ceremony.

For Meishuang, such a blessing ceremony is simply dispensable. After all, the son of the Queen Mother brought a group of daughters-in-law to pray for the Queen Mother's blessing and filial piety, which is a matter of course. She's an outsider here, always awkward and unsociable.

However, since you are here, let's pray for yourself in the process of praying for the Queen Mother.

When everyone was closing their eyes and praying seriously, Meishuang only felt as if the back of her hand had been pricked by a needle, a slight tingling, and when she opened her eyes, there was nothing on the back of her hand. Just as he was about to close his eyes, suddenly there seemed to be a burning gaze in the afterglow looking at him.

She raised her eyes slightly, looked left and right at the main hall, and there was nothing unusual.

Strange, Meishuang closed her eyes again, and after a while, the same feeling appeared again, even if she closed her eyes, she could feel as if someone was standing in front of her.

She opened her eyes again, and this time she looked at her intuition, and it turned out to be several bodhisattvas next to the big Buddha, each of which was life-size, standing or sitting, with different postures.

Mei Shuang looked at them one by one, and suddenly, her heart flickered, she thought she was dazzled, just now, she clearly saw the Bodhisattva's wide eyes roll.

She shuddered, she must have seen it wrong.

When I plucked up the courage to look at the past, the Bodhisattva was as normal, and there was nothing abnormal. She breathed a sigh of relief, and just as she was about to look away, her eyes actually moved again, and then, as if she was looking at Mei Shuang, the corners of her lips seemed to be sneering.

This Bodhisattva had a fierce face, but now that he was like this, Mei Shuang was so shocked that she almost screamed.

A chill rose from the soles of his feet, and his limbs trembled.

It's horrible! What's going on?

Meishuang shuddered, and suddenly, a gentle gaze was projected above her head, and her eyes widened, and it was actually the cloud sky in front of her left.

Suddenly remembering that he was wearing a mask, Yunkong might not be able to recognize him, but although his gaze was incomprehensible, it was soft and firm, and in an instant, Meishuang's heart was actually a lot more settled.

However, she no longer had any desire to pray or pray, and her mind was full of horrors.

If it's not the bodhisattva who has manifested, then the bodhisattva has a problem.

Anyway, it's not normal to come today, first I was plotted to throw myself into Xiao Luo's arms inexplicably, and now I see the Bodhisattva's "manifestation", what is there in this?

One thing is for sure, there must be a mysterious person watching his every move from a place he doesn't know.

Thinking of this, Mei Shuang Ji Lingling shuddered.

A qiē seems complicated.

She peeked at the emperor in front of her, who knelt in place, motionless; The same is true of Queen Meiru, whose demeanor is very religious.

She could only see these two people in her line of sight, the other women were behind her, she couldn't see their expressions, could it be that the mysterious person was among them?

Meishuang speculated unsteadily, her mind a mess.

When the prayer was finished and Xiao Luo got up, her legs were actually numb on her knees, and she shook her up, she didn't think that her legs were weak at all, and her legs fell directly to one side like they were crippled.

"Donor, be careful." Leaning on her nearest cloud sky and said in a deep voice, he quickly stepped forward, gently helped Meishuang's arm, and then stepped aside.

Xiao Luo turned his head, his gaze waveless, "I'll go rest later." Then he walked out the door.

Meishuang looked at Yunkong gratefully, her legs couldn't move for a while, so she could only wait in place for a while.

When Queen Meiru passed by her, she looked at her, and glanced at the clouds, the meaning in her eyes was profound and anyone could understand, and there was a faint murderous aura flashing!
