175. Amulet
In the cave, the woman in white opened a box. The box was divided into compartments, and in each compartment was an animal, among which were scorpions, spiders, poisonous caterpillars, and centipedes.
The woman took out a jar from the stone cabinet again, the jar was filled with a fishy red liquid, and the woman put four poisonous insects into the jar, and suddenly there was a blister sound.
A sneer tugged at the corners of her mouth.
Shaking the jar, she walked over to the stone table, where there was a pot of tea and a few teacups, and she poured a few drops of the liquid from the jar into the teapot. Suddenly, the whole tea turned a faint pink.
"Meowβ" the civet cat cried out beside her.
Bai Gu smiled: "What's wrong? Do you miss that little girl? Rest assured, she'll be here soon. β
When she put away the jar, a girl in red came in, it was Sisi.
"Aunt Bai!"
Sisi walked sweaty, habitually walked to the stone table and sat down, saw that there was tea, and poured a cup and drank it.
"Well, it's so sweet, and there's a floral scent." Sisi praised, "I just like the taste of this tea, and I drink a pot every time I come to you." β
Bai Gu smiled slightly and said, "Now is the season when wild roses bloom in the valley, I dried the roses, crushed them and put them in the tea, which is naturally mellow and delicious." β
Sisi looked at the tea: "No wonder there is a sweet smell, the tea is still pink." β
"Have you finished recognizing your characters?"
Sisi took out a piece of yellow paper from his pocket, which was full of characters, and said, "I recognize it, I don't believe you can test me." β
Bai Gu smiled kindly: "No, I naturally believe you." You've been learning for a while, and we can get started. β
At this time, Sisi was not excited, but a little scared. Can it really be like what Bai Gu said? Why was she so frightened?
"Why, you seem to be a little reluctant? Don't have a happy look on your face? Bai Gu's eyes narrowed, revealing a few sharp lights.
"I didn't ...... No, how could it be? Sisi hesitated and said, "So what should I do now?" If the emperor's brother doesn't take me back, I won't be able to enter the palace at all. β
"It doesn't matter, September 15 is coming, and at this time of year, the emperor wants to offer incense to Huangjue Temple. You can definitely meet him, you only need to do one thing, and that is...... If you get one of his beloved things, it must be a beloved thing, and it has been hidden for a long time by sticking to the flesh. β
Sisi remembered nervously and nodded: "Okay, I'll definitely try to get it." β
**
"Time flies!"
Magnolia helped Ning Su to walk slowly in the imperial garden.
"In a blink of an eye, the chrysanthemums that filled the garden bloomed again!"
Ning Su looked up, and the garden was full of gold and fragrant. She looked down at her belly, it was so big, it was so difficult for her to even walk and bend over.
Although it was hard to conceive a child, she was happy to see them born safely.
"Mother, be careful!"
Yulan was very careful, she saw a fruit peel on the road ahead, hurriedly went up and threw the peel aside, and said in pieces: "Which palace maid is so careless, if it's a banana peel, how can you get it?" The mother's body is so heavy, how can she take it lightly? β
"It's fine." Ning Su took her hand and sat down on the wooden chair on the side. Yulan carefully wiped the sweat on her forehead, and she was tired after walking for a while, and she really couldn't go far with the child.
Not far away, a handsome man in Xuanyi walked over, saw Ning Su here, and hurriedly strode over.
"Ning'er, why are you here? Isn't the sun in the house? β
"Is the emperor about to leave? I want to deliver it. Who knew that it was useless to walk for so long. Ning Su said with a smile.
"Isn't it good to come out and sit in a sedan chair? What to do to walk on your own? Said in disgust.
"The emperor doesn't know that the sedan chair seat in this palace is short, and the mother can't sit on it, lest she squeeze the child." Magnolia hurriedly explained.
"So that's the case, why didn't Ning'er say it earlier? I asked someone to make a comfortable sedan chair for you again. β
Ning Su smiled, gently pushed him and said, "Where do you need to go so far, the child will come out in another month." Walking can also stretch his muscles and bones, and when he was in the palace, he sat every day. β
Ning Su looked at his waist and asked, "Since you went to Huangjue Temple, why didn't I wear the embroidery bag I originally embroidered for you?" When the time comes, you can put it in the embroidered bag to protect your peace. β
Xiao Wuqi lowered his head, but took out a purple bag from his chest, and said with a smile: "Here, there is already the talisman that Ning'er asked for me at the beginning, and it has been hidden by sticking to the flesh." β
Ning Su was relieved: "That's good." Go this time, go early and return early, I'll be waiting for you in the palace. β
"Okay."
At this time, Xiaodouzi came from a distance and said, "Your Majesty, isn't it time to go?" β
Li Wuqi patted Ning Su's hand, turned around and walked out of the palace.
Maybe it's because of the fact that Fei Wuqi is by her side, but her dreams have calmed down again for a while, probably just thinking too much about herself, what can happen.
This time she went to Huangjue Temple, and she specially asked Li Wuqi to ask for a talisman for the child. Seeing that the melons are ripe and falling, I only hope that the rest of the days will be peaceful.
"Your Majesty, it's here!"
At the gate of Huangjue Temple, the sedan chair was unheard.
He looked up and remembered that he had sent Sisi to Huangjue Temple a few months ago, but when he remembered what she had done, he frowned slightly, and said in his heart, let's go see her again after a while.
After stepping up the stairs, I had only walked a few steps when I bumped into a man on the side of the mountain road. The emperor is incense, and outsiders are not allowed to enter, unless it is someone in the Huangjue Temple?
Xiao Wuqi grabbed the man's arm, and looked at it, it was Sisi?
He was taken aback, and the appearance of his first encounter reminded him of the pitiful look he had when he first met her.
"Why are you here?"
I saw Sisi wearing an old patched dress, carrying water in a small bucket in her hand, and when she hit him, almost all the water in her hand was sprinkled on his robe.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Brother Emperor, I didn't bump into you, did I?" She patted his clothes in fear, "Ahhhhh β
"Sisi, what are you doing?" Li Wuqi looked at her a little pitiful, how could a woman who should still be pampered in the Huangjue Temple be so embarrassed?
"Didn't you stay in the Buddha Light Retreat? Aren't there Aunt Xiulan and Ziye to take care of you? How do you do all this menial work? Who told you to carry this water? "Fei Wuqi was a little annoyed, how could the person he sent be treated like this, it also depends on the owner to beat the dog, not to look at the face of the monk to see the face of the Buddha, if he knows who assigned Sisi to work, he will definitely not spare him.
"I did it voluntarily," said Sisi with remorse and crying, "for the sake of atonement, I know that I have done too many wrong things in the past, and I feel sad to think about it." Only by punishing myself for doing these menial jobs can I feel more comfortable. β
Xiao Wuqi sighed: "Why are you suffering? Let's go, go up first. I'll have to change my clothes first. β
Hearing that Li Wuqi was willing to take her with her, a sly light flashed in Sisi's eyes.
Before the incense, I had to bathe and change my clothes as usual, and besides, I was wet all over, so I naturally had to change my clothes.
Sisi followed and waited in the courtyard outside the meditation room, while the other guards stood guard at the gate of the courtyard.
At this time, Xiaodouzi went to tell the monk some things, and Sisi was the only one left in the courtyard.
Sisi frowned, thinking, how can I get his things unnoticed?
She saw that the window was hidden, and through the crack in the window, the old clothes of the misty man were resting on a screen, and his people were bathing in the next room.
On that screen, there hung the coat he had just wore, and in the pocket of that coat must have been his belongings.
Sisi saw that there was no one in the courtyard, she found a bamboo pole in the corner of the wall, reached in with the bamboo pole, and picked out the coat of the mantle, and when the coat was in hand, she quickly searched for the contents of the pocket.
There weren't a few things, one of them was a pouch, which she opened to include a yellow amulet and a dice.
"The dice? It's special. β
Sisi carefully looked at the brocade, the needle and thread were fine, embroidered with elegant orchids, which seemed to come from the woman's hand, and then looked at the corner of the bag embroidered with hairpins and hairpins in two lines, "Exquisite dice An red beans, do you know if you are lovesick?" β
When I read this poem, it was like a needle piercing her heart. It turned out that this was a thing that represented lovesickness, and when she thought of the woman who embroidered this bag, her eyes revealed a wave of hatred.
"Humph!" Sisi sneered, "Linglong dice An red bean, do you know that you are lovesick to the bone?" It's really amorous. It's a pity, the emperor's brother is about to become mine, and it's useless for you to be lovesick! β
She quickly stuffed the bag into her pocket, and then still carried it in with a bamboo pole.
She didn't dare to stay for a long time, for fear that Wu Wu would find out what she had lost, so she immediately lowered her head and walked quickly towards the stone cave where Bai Gu was.
When he finished bathing, he changed into new clothes, and when he came out to the yard, he only saw Xiaodouzi.
"Where's Sisiren?" He asked, confused. Fang was still here, turned around and disappeared, without even saying hello.
"I don't know what to do, I didn't see her when the slave came back. Your Majesty, it's time for incense, right? Little Bean said.
She shook her head, not knowing what the girl was thinking. However, her temperament has been honed in this Huangjue Temple. Looks like it's a good fit for her to stay here. After a few days, I will choose a husband for her and marry in a beautiful way.
Thinking like this, he felt relieved, didn't realize that he had lost anything, and walked towards the Buddha Light Hall with Xiaodouzi.
