Chapter Ninety-Six: The Imperial Driver (4)

When I woke up one night, I found that it was already bright outside.

And today seems to be the day when the emperor travels by royal car, according to their urine nature, they may not be able to arrive today, but I am afraid that it is very possible to arrive at noon tomorrow.

So Chi Chi was not in a hurry, but was a little careless in preparation, she had a dream last night, which had already made her think of how to return to the palace.

Coincidentally, since the last time I saw the queen and the grandmother beside her talk about Jiahe for a long time, she almost didn't do anything, she thought it should be a dream to see the future.

But just last night, she dreamed again.

But this time it was as if there was no clear vision, as if someone had deliberately conjured it up for her, and the blazing mountains were all over the field, and the flames were soaring into the sky, as if a fiery beast was screaming to devour the whole mountain.

She wanted to run away for a long time, but in her dream, she subconsciously knew that this was not really happening, or rather, she knew that this was not what had happened now, and she felt that this was something from the future.

When she took these thoughts and looked at those scenes, she realized that this place was so familiar, so familiar that it seemed like the place where she lived every day.

Wait a minute.

Where do you live every day?

He was startled for a moment, and then reacted suddenly, this is - I'm afraid it's on the mountain of Huguo Temple.

It's on fire here? How is that possible? When was it?

She looked intently, and sure enough, the entire Huguo Temple was wrapped in the firelight, and if she listened carefully, she could hear the cry that could not be concealed at all.

She frowned, suppressed the uneasiness in her heart, and continued to walk slowly.

Maybe she knew too well that this was in a dream, so even if she was so close to the fire, she didn't feel the slightest burning sensation.

"Amitabha"

He turned around sharply and saw that at the end of the fire, the abbot was standing there, and there seemed to be a thousand words in his eyes, but he still didn't say anything, just shook his head, and then lowered his eyes and withdrew behind him, as if he was about to leave like this.

"Host!"

As soon as Chi Chi opened his mouth, he was frightened, how did his voice become a man's voice.

But when she looked at it again, she found that it was not her who opened her mouth, it was a little monk who spoke, he was sweating profusely, and his eyes were full of tears, "Host, what should I do?" ”

The abbot shook his head, "Are you all right?" ”

The little monk said, "It's just disturbing the holy driver." ”

The abbot looked at the Huguo Temple, which was engulfed in flames, and smiled, "A temple in a hundred years, in the end, it will only end up like this." ”

The little monk's crying gradually sounded, "Abbot, don't we have any other way?" ”

The abbot laughed, "What can be done, all this, I'm afraid it's just arranged by the Mandate of Heaven." ”

Wake up abruptly.

She sat on the bed, and then it took a while to come to her senses, put on her robe and get out of bed, touched a pot of water, and poured it out, regardless of whether it was cold or not, she drank two glasses, and then she barely calmed down.

There will be a fire in the Huguo Temple, which "disturbs the holy driver", which means that the emperor is also in the Huguo Temple when he walks through the water.

I thought about it for a long time.

The window moved, Chi Chi frowned and looked over, and then soon a person came in the window, Chi Chi was surprised, "Why are you here at this time?" ”

She hurriedly stood up, "Don't you have to wait for the royal driver to go up the mountain?" ”

The person who came was naturally Cao Tingyu, he ran all the way up the mountain, and he didn't even have the time to take a breath, so he came directly to the courtyard that was delayed.

"Your Majesty ordered me to go first."

Chi Chi nodded, and poured him another pot of tea, "You rest first, what's so important that you want to rush over like this for a while?" ”

Cao Tingyue said, "I thought of a way to tell Your Majesty that you must take His Royal Highness back to the palace." ”

Chi Chi raised his eyebrows, "What a coincidence, I thought of it too." ”

Cao Ting was stunned for a moment, and then looked at her, "Your Highness, and say?" ”

Chi Chi said, "If there is a fire on the night when my father wants to return to the palace, it happens to be my courtyard, and there is nothing left to burn, and I am frightened, even if my father has nothing to do with me, but I am also his daughter, maybe he will have pity and take me back to the palace." ”

Naturally, I can't say yes, I can see the future, and when the time comes, it will really catch fire, and it's not just me who will burn in this yard.

The entire Huguo Temple would be destroyed in a single burn, and in this case, the Emperor would have no other excuse to throw me here.

Cao Tingyue didn't expect that Chi Chi's idea was to think of it with him, and he glanced at Chi Chi with a little surprise.

But he still had a deeper thought, "Has Your Highness ever thought that if Your Highness really doesn't have a little mercy, even if Your Highness's courtyard burns down, Your Highness can ask Your Highness to go to another courtyard to live?" ”

Of course, she had thought about this, but she couldn't tell Cao Tingyue about the real thing.

After a moment of silence, Cao Tingyue said, "It's better to burn the entire mountain, and then it will be foolproof." ”

He looked up at him sharply, and his eyes flashed with incredulity.

- This? Is this the so-called common end?

Cao Tingyue thought that this "incredible" was that he was too cruel, and his heart sank slightly, although he didn't care what others thought of him, he also knew that he had come to the present, and if there was still a longer way to go in the future, it would inevitably be more unscrupulous and cruel.

He had wanted to hide better in front of Chi Chi before, but, but now he was all exposed to her without paying attention.

Cao Tingyue pursed her lips, as if she wanted to explain something.

But Chi Chi already tilted his head, "In this case, does it matter if the abbot presides?" ”

She still remembered the expression of the chief in the dream, he had been guarding this temple for nearly a lifetime, and it was estimated that he wanted to stay here in the future. Although his expression seemed open-minded in the dream, he probably felt very uncomfortable.

And Chi Chi actually knew for a long time that Cao Tingyu and the presiding abbot must have some friendship.

And from her point of view, I'm afraid the friendship is not shallow.

Although she and Cao Tingyue are friends, she is not so narcissistic that she thinks that Cao Tingyue will put her first in everything, and the burning of Huguo Temple can be said to be a very big thing, and she didn't expect Cao Tingyue to hesitate.

Cao Tingyue didn't expect that it was this that he was worried about, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then said, "The abbot's side ......"

In fact, he was not sure that for the presiding abbot, all things are equal, and no human life is especially necessary to exchange for other people's blood.

If he wanted to inform the abbot in advance that he was going to burn down the Huguo Temple, in fact, Cao Tingyue himself didn't know that the abbot would react like this.

After seeing that Cao Tingyu didn't speak for a long time, he knew that this matter was not so easy.

But it's also true, no matter who it is, they definitely don't want to ask someone to order their lair, and no one can have such a good temper.

While Cao Tingyu and Chi Chi were pondering here, the royal driving side was naturally still moving normally.

As soon as Cao Tingyue left, Dongchang seemed to reveal a gap out, the eldest prince took a look, and then rode to the emperor's side.

On this trip, except for the emperor and empress, all the rest of the people needed to ride horses.

The emperor glanced at him and said nothing.

The eldest prince said, "Greetings to my father." ”

The emperor took the teacup and drank it slowly, and then sometimes squinted at him for a moment, as if to say, say whatever you want.

The eldest prince was entangled for a moment, and then he spoke, "The son sees that there are not too many guards around his father, and he is only afraid that there will be any danger along the way, so why don't you call some more people to serve your father?" Is it good to protect your father? ”

The Emperor's hand paused, then turned to look at him, "Oh? Who do you want to call to protect me? ”

Originally, the eldest prince would not be so reckless, although he was a little hot, but it didn't mean that he had no brains at all, but now whether it was Ji Jia or Cao Tingyu, it could be said that it was a godsend, and he could only seize this opportunity to make a risky move.

"Erchen thinks that the people of Jinyiwei have always been well-trained and loyal to their father, but this is a good time to use it as appropriate, but I don't know what my father thinks."

The majesty of the heavenly family is even more unfathomable when it comes to the emperor, and the emperor seems to laugh, this is just a sound, that is, the big prince is in a cold sweat behind him.

"I heard that the eldest prince and the people of Jinyiwei have been very close recently."

No matter what this said, it was wrong, and since the emperor said such a thing, it is estimated that he already has a lot of handles in his hands.

The eldest prince was sweating a little on his forehead, and he didn't know how to speak for a long time.

"Thinking about it, otherwise, it wouldn't be that the eldest prince would still come up and speak for those brocade guards in front of me, right?"

This crime is not small, and the eldest prince immediately said, "The father and the emperor are aware of it, and the sons and daughters will definitely not dare." ”

"Don't dare? If you don't dare, how can you come and speak for them at such a time? ”

As soon as the emperor's cup was thrown, it flew straight out of the window of the carriage and immediately smashed into the body of the great prince.

One of them rode in a carriage and the other rode a horse, but they always maintained the right speed.

The emperor snorted coldly, "Now, I think that the one who guards and serves the brocade guards is no longer me, but your Royal Highness the Great Prince." ”

The eldest prince almost flipped off his horse, and he now understood how stupid his current behavior was.
