Chapter 338: Purse Prayer
Shen Shu was overjoyed when she heard that Chu Yi no longer insisted on sending her out of the palace, but instead invited her to see the incense pills found from the Queen Mother's bath.
"Go." Shen Shu didn't care about anything anymore, hurriedly broke his elbow out of his brother's hand, and said to Chu Yifu: "Please also ask Your Highness to lead the way." ”
This series of movements made Chu Yi's gaze on Shen Shu's elbow finally move away satisfied.
"After reading the incense pills, I will send someone to send you to rest, and you are not allowed to stay in the palace any longer." He commanded.
Shen Shu hurriedly nodded.
As long as Xiangmaru can really revive the emperor, she can naturally sit back and relax and go back to rest at ease.
Seeing Shen Shu responding, Chu Yi bowed lightly towards Shen Jinming, and walked out of the side hall first.
The conversation between the two made Shen Jinming on the side confused, he saw that his sister was about to go out with Chu Yi without saying a word, and the nerves that had just relaxed tensed again.
He stopped in front of Shen Shu with an arrow, deliberately lowered his voice, and said with hatred: "What kind of incense pill stinky pill, King Yi is an unmarried man, this is the middle of the night, where are you going with him?" If you lonely men and widows spread out, do you want your reputation! ”
Between the words, there is already a deep suspicion of the relationship between the two.
Shen Shu didn't have time to explain too much to him, so he said succinctly: "The incense pill is related to the emperor's coma, I have to go." If my brother is not at ease, he can come with him, so that he will not be a lonely man and a widow. ”
After saying this, Shen Shu didn't wait for Shen Jinming to speak again, and directly crossed him and strode towards the outside of the hall.
When Shen Jinming heard that it was related to the emperor's illness, his expression was solemn, he knew that in this kind of matter, Shen Shu would not mess around, so he hurriedly strode to follow......

At this time, Xiao Qingchu knelt outside the Taiji Hall, although he looked calm, but the hand hidden in his sleeve was already anxiously twisted together.
She followed the attendants of the East Palace all the way to the front of the Taiji Palace, only to find that the entire Taiji Hall had been guarded by the forbidden army sent by Prince Yi.
Relying on the identity of the prince's bride and the face of the East Palace, Xiao Qingchu reluctantly came to kneel outside the Taiji Palace.
In such a situation, it was impossible for her to cross the forbidden army and enter the Taiji Hall on her own.
It is even more impossible to get close to the emperor who is still unconscious.
What to do, what to do......
Xiao Qingchu racked his brains, but he didn't think of a way to enter the Taiji Palace.
Just as she was at a loss, the sound of small footsteps came from behind her.
"It's late at night, who's there?"
The queen's voice came from behind, which shocked Xiao Qingchu's spirit.
It's really sleepy to send pillows.
Xiao Qingchu was busy chanting the scriptures in his mouth, kneeling down, lower, palms facing up, and his forehead reverently pressed against the cold bluestone bricks.
There was no need for Xiao Qingchu to respond, the eunuch of the East Palace, who had been standing behind her, bowed down to greet her, and replied to the queen: "Hui Niangniang, it is the crown princess Xiao, who has to be guided by a senior monk, and has come to pray for the emperor outside the Taiji Palace." ”
When the queen heard this, her brows frowned slightly.
Seeing this, Gonggong Wei's eyes flashed slightly, and he hurriedly said: "Niangniang forgot, Qin Tianjian has combined the eight characters of the crown princess, and the princess and His Royal Highness the prince are married, which can be happy for the emperor and will be of great help to the emperor's body." ”
When the queen heard this, her face turned slightly pale.
She walked slowly to Xiao Qingchu's side.
Under the reflection of the lantern in the hand of the waiter, Xiao Qingchu, who was thinly dressed, shivered in the night wind.
However, despite this, she reverently recited the Jizo Sutra in her mouth, unaware of the arrival of the Empress.
Although the queen is not on good terms with the queen mother, she is also the Xiao family after all.
Xiao Qingchu, as a delicate girl in the Chengen Mansion, grew up under the watchful eyes of the queen since she was a child.
What's more, the crown prince is the queen's biological son, and the prince's love for Xiao Qingchu is a well-known thing in the imperial city.
As the saying goes, love the house and Wu, even if the queen doesn't like the Chengen Mansion, for her son's sweetheart-
Xiao Qingchu, who is now the prince's bride, really can't get disgusted.
In addition, the queen is really concerned about the emperor's body, and at such a time, she does not shy away from trying anything that is beneficial to the emperor, no matter what the method.
The queen sighed and instructed Gonggong Wei: "It's cold outside, you help the princess into the palace." ”
When Xiao Qingchu heard this, she tried her best to maintain the original chanting speed and not let the excitement in her heart reveal a single star.
Until Gonggong Wei's people stepped forward to help her up, and followed the queen's ceremonial drive into the Taiji Palace.
Xiao Qingchu came to the emperor's bed and respectfully greeted the queen.
The empress sat on the side of the emperor's bed, looking at the emperor's skinny face, her eyes full of worry.
She took the handkerchief from the hand of the chamberlain, wiped the emperor's face, and asked casually: "I heard that the senior monk instructed you to come to the Taiji Hall to pray for the emperor, where is the senior monk, what did you say?" ”
Xiao Qingchu was slightly stunned.
But immediately, she saw Gonggong Wei standing beside the queen, as if inadvertently pointing to his waist.
Xiao Qingchu immediately reacted, took off the plain purse given to her by the chamberlain in the East Palace from her waist, and presented it to the queen.
Just now, on the way to the Taiji Palace, Xiao Qingchu had already carefully inspected this purse.
Although it is plain, it is embroidered with light gold embroidery thread and dense Buddhist scripture characters.
The purse is filled with incense ash, faintly emitting bursts of sandalwood fragrance, which is somewhat similar to the Buddha incense used in the Queen Mother's palace.
This purse, whether from the embroidery, or the Buddha incense, delicate and meticulous, everywhere shows the good intentions of the owner of the purse, pious and respectful.
"This purse is hand-sewn by my daughter-in-law, and it contains Buddha incense from the incense burner in front of the Buddha in Daxiangguo Temple...... Master Yunhui said that as long as the daughter-in-law wears this thing on her body and sincerely recites and prays for the emperor, the emperor will definitely be able to turn evil into good fortune. Xiao Qingchu said nonsense.
Master Yunhui is a famous monk in the Great Zhou, but he has been out and traveled for several years without a trace.
The Chengen Mansion once had an old relationship with Master Yunhui, yes, Xiao Qingchu said this, which was very convincing.
Sure enough, when the queen heard Xiao Qingchu's words, she carefully observed the embroidery of the purse, sniffed the Buddha incense in the purse, and her face was much softer and more loving.
"You've got a heart." The queen nodded and handed the purse back to Xiao Qingchu: "In this case, you will guard the emperor with the palace tonight, and it can be regarded as your filial piety to the emperor when you and Dalang are newly married." ”
As she spoke, she waved her hand at Father-in-law Wei: "Go and get a cushion for the crown princess, just chant in front of the emperor's bed." ”
Xiao Qingchu didn't expect it to be so easy, so he had the opportunity to get close to the emperor, thanked him, and knelt on the emperor's side under the arrangement of Gonggong Wei.

On the other side, Shen Shu followed Chu Yi and came out of the side hall of the Tai Hospital.
She thought that she would go to the emperor's pharmacy in the Tai Hospital, but she didn't expect that she would come directly to the Qingxin Pavilion located on the west side of the Taiji Palace.
Qingxin Pavilion was originally a warm pavilion for courtiers to rest before the audience, since the emperor fell into a coma, in order to facilitate the care of the emperor, the queen specially ordered the Qingxin Pavilion to be cleaned up, exclusively for the imperial doctor to stay in the palace for rotation.
Shen Shu followed behind Chu Yi, and as soon as he entered the warm pavilion, he saw that Duhe had opened the two brocade boxes containing incense pills and placed them on the table covered with white cloth......
