Chapter Forty-Three: Goodbye Yijun Chen
Sima Cheng glanced at it, and saw that Yi Xue was panicked, so he grabbed Yi Xue's slender white wrist with his back.
Yi Xue suddenly felt the temperature in Sima Cheng's palm, his hand seemed to have magic power, Yi Xue gradually calmed down, she turned her head to look at Sima Cheng, Sima Cheng frowned, as if hinting at Yi Xue something.
Yi Xue had an idea, and hurriedly said to the landlord: "My brother is an old problem, at this time he will go to the thatched house, and it will be too late if he doesn't go." ”
Sima Cheng also nodded cooperatively, and said with added fuel and vinegar: "Hurry up...... I can't hold it anymore. ”
Yi Xue also understood, and she couldn't care about the owner, so she helped Sima Cheng to go to the temple, and before leaving, she finally gave the owner a reassuring pill and said:
"We'll go back as soon as we go, don't we still have to look for you to get paid, everyone is waiting for you."
As soon as the money was mentioned, the owner's suspicion was reduced by half, and he realized that the other small workers were still waiting for him at the door, thinking that what Yi Xue had just said was not unreasonable, it was impossible for these two people not to be paid, and they would stay in the temple and not come out, although he had a bad impression of Sima Cheng, but seeing that Yi Xue was sincere, he shouted to Yi Xue:
"You two come out quickly!"
Then the owner left the White Horse Temple with the other workers.
Yi Xue heard footsteps coming from behind, and it was estimated that the owner and the small workers had left, so she breathed a sigh of relief, and then Sima Cheng's murmur came from her ears:
"Your Highness's lie is really not good, and the owner of the shop believes you."
Yi Xue glared at Sima Cheng, but Sima Cheng was indeed reasonable, and she was in a panic just now, almost showing her feet, thanks to Sima Cheng to survive this catastrophe, Yi Xue was powerless to refute.
Sima Cheng and Yi Xue were very close, and Yi Xue could feel Sima Cheng's exhaled breath, sweeping on her face, making her feel uncomfortable, so she said a little embarrassed:
"They're all gone, you're almost sick, it's time to get up." As he spoke, he wanted to let go of him.
As a result, Sima Cheng made a backhand, held Yi Xue's hand tighter, changed the tone of the joke just now, and said:
"Wait a minute, Your Highness, this drama will be done, no matter whether there are people along the way, you really have to help me to the thatched house."
Sima Cheng was thoughtful, and Yi Xue did not refute, the two walked in this "intimate" posture, and Sima Cheng then said to Yi Xue:
"Your Highness, I think you must have also seen it, now that the group room that Shen Xing said no longer exists, you have to find another hiding place, can Your Highness have a way to crack it?"
Before she had time to think about this more serious problem, she shook her head and replied, "No, I'm also worried about this matter, so do you have any ideas?" ”
Sima Cheng said: "The subordinates have an idea to let the group houses of the main temple disappear, it is estimated that it is the intention of the people in the palace, and the subordinates observed other temples and found that this kind of group houses still exist next to the east and west temples next to the main hall." The east side hall is close to the main hall, if it is hidden there, although you can grasp the news of the main temple in time, the door of the group of rooms is facing the back hall of the main hall, if someone pays attention, the whereabouts of His Royal Highness will be easily detected. Although the group rooms of the west side hall are far away, they are close to the patriarch's hall, and the plants are luxuriant, although they need to go around to reach the main temple, but they are not easy to be found, I don't know what His Royal Highness's intentions are? ”
After hearing this, Yi Xue couldn't help but look at Sima Cheng differently, at that moment, Yi Xue could only be anxious, but Sima Cheng could only care calmly, resourcefully and decisively, and quickly move to the point and get to the point the key to the problem.
Choose one of the two, naturally the west side hall is the top.
Yi Xue nodded and said, "I'll go to the West Side Palace." ”
Sima Cheng raised the corners of his mouth slightly, thinking about the person in front of him, although he was often like a frightened bird in trouble, and his trembling and uneasiness were written on his face, but at this moment, he could also be rational and decisive, and he finally had a bit of a monarch's attitude, he continued:
"Your Highness's choice is very good, and the west side hall is farther away, Your Highness needs to listen more carefully to the movements of the main hall, so as to judge the time to leave the group room. There are three parts of the ceremony of the Bon Festival to worship the ancestors, the first ceremony is to wrap around the altar, the second is to offer the orchid basin, and the last ceremony is to be eaten by the monks, and His Royal Highness will appear when the Queen Mother is offered. In the first ceremony, the abbot will go around the altar, chant the scriptures, sprinkle the clean, the monks will accompany them, the queen mother enters the hall, the abbot recites the scriptures again, and when everyone leaves the scene, they will wake up with a chime, and the chime is the signal of His Royal Highness. ”
Shen Xing also explained the ceremony of the Obon Festival to Yi Xue and Sima Cheng, but it was only a passing touch, and Yi Xue did not delve into it, but he didn't expect Sima Cheng to understand the details so clearly, Yi Xue nodded and silently wrote it down.
Sima Cheng continued: "Before the start of the second ceremony, the monks will re-enter the altar, His Royal Highness will enter the main hall at the end of the crowd at that time, hide behind the Buddha statue, after worshiping the Buddha three times, the abbot will make incense, and when the Queen Mother goes up to the incense, I will lift the tiles on the roof to make the Queen Mother dazzle, and at the same time His Royal Highness can take the opportunity to appear in front of everyone." ”
The rest of the content is consistent with the original plan, and the key is the chime and the timing of entering the main hall with the crowd.
Sima Cheng further explained: "If His Royal Highness has the impression that when he was a child in the palace, he should hear the sound of chimes from the bell tower at the fifth watch every night, and His Royal Highness does not have to worry too much when he follows the crowd. ”
Yi Xue memorized Sima Cheng's words and sentences in her heart, and Sima Cheng's supplementary words were like inch control wheels, and when it came to Yi Xue's heart, it seemed that she was deliberately dispelling her concerns.
It was not far from the thatched house, Yi Xue knew that she was going to face everything next alone, her body began to tremble, Sima Cheng held Yi Xue's hand again, and said to Yi Xue:
"Please don't forget, Your Highness's succession to the throne is a matter of course and righteousness in Dayu, and it is something that the world, the people, and the Buddha all recognize."
Sima Cheng's breath sprayed on Yi Xue's ears, and a faint orange fragrance penetrated into Yi Xue's nose, and she suddenly felt as if her heart was skipping a beat.
Yi Xue stopped, looked at Sima Cheng, and muttered:
"Really?"
"yes, really."
Sima Cheng's last voice was silently drowned out in her emotions, and everything was calm.
After turning the last corner, she arrived at the door of the thatched house, Yi Xue was like a frightened deer, wanting to let go of Sima Cheng immediately, but Sima Cheng seemed to be deliberately stubborn, grabbed her by the shoulder, and said with a smile:
"Your Highness, you'll have to help me in."
Xue Xue looked at him in surprise, and she ...... How can that woman get into the men's bathroom?! Suddenly, she remembered her identity again, quickly came back to her senses, turned her head, Nunu's mouth, and whispered angrily:
"You're enough, let's get inside."
Sima Cheng let go of his hand, and Yi Xue immediately broke free from his arms, and then quickly took a few steps back and kept a distance from Sima Cheng, Sima Cheng saw that his joke made Yi Xue angry, with a smug smile on his face, his eyes were slightly raised, and his tone became gentle, leaning over to Qi Xue to look at her, and said softly:
"Your Highness can rest assured, if there is really any mistake, his subordinates will not let His Highness stay here alone."
It may be the last time, to get along with the person in front of him like this, and the next time he sees him will be a monarch and a minister, in all fairness, he is also a teenager who is similar to himself, Sima Cheng couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
The whispering made Yi Xue feel itchy on her face, and she couldn't tell whether it was because of Sima Cheng's exhalation or because of the heat on her face, so she lowered her head and agreed, and hurriedly pushed Sima Cheng into the thatched house.
……
The two of them acted separately, the clouds cleared, and the daylight would shine through.
