Chapter 317: Jing Qi Shitai
Prayer beads? Shen Shu asked in surprise: "What does the Buddha bead have to do with Concubine Qi?" β
Chu Zhan looked at her and said: "When the first emperor entered the tomb of the emperor, it was the coffin where the queen mother personally served the first emperor, and there would never be such a thing in the hands of the first emperor." The door of the main tomb can only be opened by the jade pendant in the hand of King Yi, after we enter the main tomb, the coffin is not only opened, but the first emperor also has more things in his hand, which is enough to prove that someone deliberately put these clues into the main tomb. β
Shen Shu frowned and pondered: "What do you mean, these are all made by Concubine Qi?" But even if she knew the secret door and didn't have a jade pendant, how could she enter this tomb? Besides, even if it was really her, what was the purpose of putting these things into the main burial chamber? β
"That's going to have to be asked face to face."
Chu Zhan said with a smile: "It's not a secret, I haven't been looking for Liu Yiyi for a day or two, he has never confided in the secret door, until the Yunling County Lord was in a coma with poisonous blood, and when he looked for him again, he relented." The same was true in previous lives, until the end...... In short, there is no doubt that Liu Yiyi is Concubine Qi's person, and as for the rest, you have to see Concubine Qi to know. β
Shen Shu saw that he mentioned his previous life, and he seemed to have an unfinished meaning. Because he knew that when he entered the emperor's tomb in his previous life, it was after her death, and he didn't think it had anything to do with her, so he didn't ask anymore.
The two didn't say anything all the way.
Jingyun Temple is not too far from the eldest princess's Zhuangzi and the emperor's tomb, and in less than half an hour, the carriage stopped at the gate of Jingyun Temple.
Compared with the incense of the Great Huguo Temple in Beijing and the Fuyun Temple in Yunjiang, Jingyun Temple is only located on Jingyun Mountain, a very, very small temple.
As soon as Shen Shu and Chu Zhan got out of the car, a bhikshuni wearing a sea green robe greeted them.
"Donor, Jingyun Temple only accepts female donors, please stay with the son."
Chu Zhan had already expected to be stopped outside, and gave Shen Shu a look.
"Go ahead, I'll be waiting for you outside."
Shen Shu's eyebrows moved slightly.
No wonder Chu Zhan came over and wanted to pull himself up, it turned out to be because of this.
She lowered her eyes silently, bowed to the bhikshunis, and followed her into the monastery.
Although the temple is small, it is better than elegant.
The yard is sprinkled and swept very clean, the pines and cypresses are lush, and the Buddha fragrance is lingering, which makes people forget their worries.
The bhikshuni took Shen Shu all the way to the main hall, and as soon as he went up the steps, Shen Shu saw an old man kneeling on the futon in the center.
Although Shen Shu only looked from behind and did not see the old man's face, she could also feel the unique aura that emanated from her whole body.
That aura is by no means ordinary people's.
This made Shen Shu sure that this person must be Concubine Qi.
Shen Shu couldn't help but speed up her pace.
She stepped into the hall with her front foot, and Concubine Qi took the initiative to speak: "County Lord Anding, you are here." β
Shen Shu was slightly stunned.
"Blessed concubine." She was busy.
Concubine Qi stood up, turned around, folded her hands and said: "The poor nun has been a monk for more than 30 years, and she is no longer a person of red dust. β
Shen Shu folded her hands and returned the salute.
As soon as she raised her head, she was stunned.
Concubine Qi looks somewhat similar to the eldest princess of Yongning and the lord of Yunling.
At this time, this face that made Shen Shu feel a little kind, but there was a fragrant ash mark in the center of his eyebrows!
A mark of incense ash means that there is only one day of longevity left.
Calculate the time, the limit of Concubine Qi...... Should it be tomorrow?
Realizing this, Shen Shu was slightly shocked.
She looked at Concubine Qi's face quietly, and saw that although she was old, her expression was slender, and she didn't look like she was sick at all.
He was not sick, but he died suddenly.
Then there's only one possibilityβ
Most likely, someone killed him!
Shen Shu's heart sank.
Could it be ......
The real purpose of Chu Zhan asking her to "see" was to see if Concubine Qi's life was in danger?
"What is the county lord looking at?" Concubine Qi looked at Shen Shu's eyes and asked softly.
Shen Shu came back to her senses and hurriedly lowered her eyes: "It's just...... When I saw Shitai, I remembered Lord Yunling. β
When Concubine Qi heard this, a trace of worry crossed her eyes.
But immediately, she looked at Shen Shu: "I heard that you and Yun Ling are handkerchiefs, and the poison on Yun Ling's body, please ask you." β
Shen Shu didn't dare to say anything, and replied in a low voice: "Master Tai, don't worry too much, now that we have obtained the prescription, we will definitely be able to detoxify the county lord." β
Concubine Qi nodded with satisfaction.
"Yongning said that you are a kind-hearted person, since you say so, I am naturally very relieved."
She said, twisted the Buddha beads in her hand, was silent for a few breaths, and finally got straight to the point and said: "Today, the county lord came to the door specially, thinking about what confusion he encountered, he might as well come and listen to it. β
Shen Shu was hesitant and didn't know how to ask, and when she heard Concubine Qi say this, her heart was slightly relieved.
She sighed for a few breaths and asked in a low voice, "Dare to ask Mrs. Shi, Liu Yiyi is Mrs. Shi's person?" β
Concubine Qi nodded without hesitation.
"The Liu family has guarded the emperor's tomb for generations, and the first emperor has left a secret door for the poor nun in the emperor's mausoleum before his death, hoping that the poor nun can accompany him after a hundred years. In advance, the emperor only gave the Liu family a door, so that before the death of the poor nun, the Liu family temporarily sent the poor nun. β
These words were exactly the same as Chu Zhan's previous guess, it seemed that Concubine Qi was not lying, nor did she intend to hide it intentionally.
Shen Shu breathed a sigh of relief, and asked again: "In this case, the Queen Mother suddenly led the army to surround the Tomb of God in the early morning, but was it a letter from Liu Yiyi's report?" β
This question was asked quite directly, and Concubine Qi twisted the hand of the Buddha beads, and she was slightly stunned.
Concubine Qi was silent for a few breaths: "It's a letter from him." β
As soon as these words came out, Shen Shu's face changed slightly.
"Why did Liu Yiyi do this? What's in it for him? β
Concubine Qi looked at her calmly, and said softly: "Don't blame the county lord, this matter was told by the poor nun to him." If it hadn't been for the early hours of this morning, the poor nun would not have sat here at this moment, opening his heart and telling the county lord frankly. β
Shen Shuxing's eyes narrowed slightly, and she was a little unhappy in her heart.
"I don't understand what Mrs. Shi said. In the early morning, the Queen Mother surrounded the Mausoleum of God to cure our sins, if it were not for the presence of King Yi, I and the little prince would have trespassed into the Imperial Mausoleum, and the Queen Mother would not have been able to give up. Did Mrs. Shi ever think that Liu Yiyi doing such a thing would be tantamount to forcing me and the little prince to death? β
Concubine Qi's expression did not move: "The county lord is worried, since I have made such an arrangement, I must have a perfect plan to help the county lord and King Rui get out......"
Speaking of this, she paused and looked at Shen Shu: "I can't hide it, since the death of the first emperor, in order to save my life, Yongning and I have lived cautiously, if it weren't for the poisoning of Yunling and the coma, I wouldn't have made up my mind to make a move." Now that it has been shot, it is bound to be foolproof. Handing the news to the Queen Mother was also a last resort. β
"As a last resort?" Shen Shu's eyes were slightly cold: "How many like this have to be told by Mrs. Shi, why don't you tell them all?" β
