Chapter 521: Repentance before the Buddha
In the room, Princess Shou, dressed in plain clothes, sat by the window, twisting a string of Buddhist beads in her hand, and her lips pursed as if she was silently reciting the Buddha's verses. Looking at the tired Shou King, a trace of regret flashed in Xie Yaoguang's eyes.
The sound of the door closing behind him came, and Xie Yaoguang never looked back, but looked at Princess Shou in front of him and said softly: "Princess Niangniang, I haven't seen you for many days, I don't know how you are doing?"
These words fell into the ears of Princess Shou, and there was a bit of sarcasm in them, and the Xue family fell into a dead end in Xie Yaoguang's design. Although she was not implicated because she had joined the royal family, she was not much better, and there was an empty title of princess, trapped here in the name of recuperation, but in fact she was imprisoned here.
If you have no power in your hands and can't save your father and brother's family, where can it be considered a good word?
Although she didn't like Xie Yaoguang in her heart, she also knew that if it wasn't for her father and brother, she would not be caught by anyone if she acted without scruples. Princess Yishou still maintained an extremely indifferent expression, looked up at Xie Yaoguang, and then pointed to the futon in front of her, motioning for Xie Yaoguang to sit down.
After glancing around, Xie Yaoguang walked over generously and sat down, his eyes falling on the volume of "Myoho-renge-kyo" resting on the case. The current Princess Shou is really surprising, although it is said that the Xue family is now losing power, but how can it not be relegated to the North Tower Temple.
Thinking of this, Xie Yaoguang glanced at Princess Shou suspiciously.
Seeing Xie Yaoguang looking at Princess Shou, she still didn't put down the Buddha beads in her hand. Now that she has no power of her own, she naturally can't do anything to Xie Yaoguang, not to mention that she feels that Xie Yaoguang's trip must have another purpose.
Regarding Princess Shou's current situation, Xie Yaoguang can guess to some extent. Not to mention the family's decadence, he was sent to Beita Temple under house arrest in the name of recuperation, and I am afraid that my heart is miserable.
"Miss Xie, what are you doing with all your fanfare to find me a sinner? You don't expect me to help you frame King Shou. After pouring the tea in the pot to Xie Yaoguang, he said softly: "I advise you to dispel this idea as soon as possible, I can't help you." ”
Hearing this, Xie Yaoguang couldn't help but smile, and the softness in her tone was gentle, "In the eyes of Princess Shou, am I such a person?" ”
Hearing Xie Yaoguang's question, Princess Shou's eyes flashed with a hint of strangeness, and then she put the Buddhist beads in her hand on the desk, raised her head and stared intently at Xie Yaoguang, who was smiling at her in front of her. There was no reason to have a sense of fear.
"Miss Xie, I don't know what kind of person you are, but I know that many people who believe in you don't end well." After moving her eyes to look elsewhere, Princess Shou said for no reason.
After hearing that Princess Shou meant something, the smile in Xie Yaoguang's eyes became deeper and deeper, "So Niangniang, do you think those people will end up like this because they believe my words?" ”
Although Princess Jishou didn't mean to deny it, her eyes had completely revealed her answer.
Seeing her like this, Xie Yaoguang couldn't help but shake her head and sighed, she did act without scruples at some times, and she was also unscrupulous. There are not a few people who believe her words and fall into the trap. But she did not deceive Princess Shou.
"Isn't it? Miss Xie's methods are exquisite, and her thoughts are exquisite, and how many people have been played by you. After taking a deep breath, Princess Shou couldn't help laughing, "Even as a favored Shouwang, you are playing with you, how do you want others to believe you." ”
Hearing this, Xie Yaoguang suddenly nodded, and then moved his gaze to it for a long time before she heard her look at it and say, "Actually, I didn't mean anything else today." It's just that I want to know from you what King Shou is going to do next, and he has no way out, right? ”
It seems that she is too lazy to be the princess of Tongshou again, and Xie Yaoguang directly provoked the topic and explained the purpose of her trip to Beita Temple. A few days ago, because Emperor Li didn't express his position for a long time, she was naturally not in a hurry to find out what King Shou did. However, now, under her drive, she has cut off the silk threads that the emperor hung over everyone, and just waited for the last person to light the fire, and all the silk threads were burned to the ground.
Knowing that Xie Yaoguang said the truth, Princess Shou had not let go of her vigilance and hatred for Xie Yaoguang. The hand hidden in the sleeve unconsciously twisted the plain clothes, and there was an inexplicable look in his eyes. She didn't know what she had to do to carry King Shou out of this predetermined deadlock.
Thinking of this, Princess Shou couldn't help but close her eyes, and her fingers tightened the clothes on her body. Hundreds of lives of the Xue family died on that day, but as the eldest daughter, she couldn't do anything to help her father and brother get rid of their crimes, so she could only watch them die silently, and finally was sent to this ghost place by the queen's decree to spend their old age in peace.
There was no one she wanted to see here, and the nuns were all around her every day. It seems that many people know that she is the daughter of a corrupt official who survived because she married into the royal family. From time to time, those convicted concubines also called her over for the purpose of copying Buddhist scriptures together, but in fact, they were to beat and scold her to avenge their disgust with Empress Xu.
There was even a time when she was almost pushed into the water and drowned, but fortunately, Master Chen came to the rescue, otherwise she might have died.
Thinking of this, Princess Shou sighed and said coldly to Xie Yaoguang, "Miss Xie, you better go back." If this heart dies, I won't help you, and I won't tell you what His Royal Highness King Shou thinks now. ”
It didn't seem to be expected that Princess Shishou would say such a thing, Xie Yao still maintained a gentle smile on her face.
"It doesn't matter if you don't tell me. Qi Wuyin is already dead, and before he died, I asked someone to write a letter of guilt for him to His Majesty. It was said above that King Shou himself sought the help of Wu Goutai to deal with His Royal Highness the King of Jin. The words on the corners of Xie Yaoguang's lips protruding slightly made people shudder, "King Shou is still with Qi Wuyin, and after he ascends the throne, he will let Qi Wuyin serve as the Zhongshu Order." Do you think His Majesty can tolerate Qi Wuyin's betrayal of him? Can you tolerate the behavior of King Shou? ”
In the final analysis, no matter what, as long as Emperor Li reigns for one day, Qi Wuyin and King Shou are both courtiers. But now the high-ranking courtiers colluded with the lower-level courtiers, and the two of them colluded together to murder the prince in order to achieve their own goals.
Emperor Li, who was already approaching the age of sixties, no longer had the energy to train another suitable person to inherit the throne. How do you want him to tolerate fratricide and even collude with outsiders to seize the country.
When the words fell, Princess Jishou couldn't help but widen her eyes and looked at Xie Yaoguang in disbelief, "You actually designed Qi Wuyin?"
"I have a personal grudge against him, why didn't I design him? What's more, the princess Niangniang let go of your insistence on King Shou, he is not worth anything more from you. Xie Yaoguang's eyes fell on Princess Shou's lower abdomen, and a trace of ridicule slipped under her eyes, "Have you ever wondered why you have not been pregnant after marrying King Shou for so many years, and I conceived a child after giving you medicine?" ”
