7. Hovering on the brink of death
"A woman is in the Pufo Temple, this is where the monks live, you are not simple." Tao Zhiyuan looked at her vigilantly, when Aunt Zhang asked her to bring the peach box, she didn't ask much, but now she has such a feeling in her heart, this woman named Hu Ruyue is not simple!
Hu Ruyue sneered: "Aren't you also simple? I'm just a watchman. ”
"You-" Tao Zhiyuan was speechless by her.
"Just looking at your face, you have ups and downs in your life, but you don't know how to get to the end." Hu Ruyue stood up and paced back and forth beside Tao Zhiyuan, "Some affection should be broken, and dragging it out will only hurt you." ”
Tao Zhiyuan listened to her quietly.
"You have to be careful with the people around you, especially the ones you feel are close to you."
Tao Zhiyuan thought of Yun Qingyuan at this time, and immediately felt that Hu Ruyue was talking nonsense, and couldn't help but be full of anger: "You are talking nonsense!" With that, he walked over and picked up the lantern and lit it, opened the door and prepared to leave.
Hu Ruyue was not angry, and said to her back: "Seeing that Xinrou asked you to help, you are also a kind person, I will say one more thing, you must not fall into that dark harem, your heart is alive now, but you will die soon!" ”
Tao Zhiyuan ignored her, and went down the mountain without turning her head.
Hu Ruyue leaned against the door frame, her smile suddenly a little melancholy, knowing that it was a point of no return, but who could turn back.
She's just that.
Slowly walked into the house, waved his hand, the door was replaced, and the candle flame was extinguished.
**
In the central square of the temple, all the sacrificial supplies have been prepared. The abbot of the temple where the festival is held is over 100 years old this year, but he still practices it.
After beating the drum and ringing the bell, the abbot recited the Buddhist scriptures, and Yun Yi, Fang Qiaoqing, Wei Manhui and Zhou Luying poured incense devout and performed three kneels and nine bows.
After kneeling and kowtowing, they entered the temple, and the four of them knelt on the futon, and then the priest opened his mouth to sing, and Yunyi heard the singing, and only felt peaceful.
Exorcism dances are still being held in the square, the masked man has been ringing the bell, and the palace ladies and eunuchs have all kneeling down to pray for blessings.
And the Sixth Bureau is exempt from this kind of suffering, managing large and small things in the Buddhist temple, and because of this, Tao Zhiyuan saw Rong Qiyun, the female official in charge of the affairs of the Sixth Bureau, she is assigning work, and her jujube red clothes are lined with some gold, embroidered with begonia flowers, showing her status as the third grade.
Tao Zhiyuan saw that she had arranged everything properly and admired her.
The weather is hot, so it is natural to prepare a lot of food for the fire.
The Shangshi Bureau was so busy that people turned their backs on their backs, and Tao Zhiyuan and some sisters in charge also went over to help. She was helping to rinse the vegetables and fruits, and a palace maid rushed into the kitchen in a panic and shouted, "Can the cloud palm be made?!" ”
Tao Zhiyuan stood up and asked puzzledly, "What are you doing?" ”
"Quick! Come with the slaves! ”
followed the palace maid in the temple and came to a meditation room, Tao Zhiyuan recognized that this was the place where Yunyi rested, and she couldn't help but panic, what happened?
"Back to the emperor, the cloud palm system has been brought." The palace maid said respectfully.
"Come on in." Tao Zhiyuan recognized that this was Su Yan's voice.
The palace maid opened the door and saw several people kneeling in the meditation room, Yun Yi and Fang Qiaoqing were sitting in the main seat, and Wei Manhui and Zhou Luying were sitting below.
Tao Zhiyuan lowered her head, didn't dare to look at Yunyi, knelt down and saluted, afraid that he would hear his voice, so she said in a dumb voice: "The emperor is auspicious." Kneeling next to her was Tan Siji, as well as Zhu Shanggong and the female official Rong Qiyun, and then raised her head slightly, several women were still wearing sacrificial crown clothes, but Yun Yi changed into regular clothes, Tao Zhiyuan was startled, could it be ......
"Your Majesty, everyone is together." Su Yan glanced at them and reminded.
"Queen, you can say it." Hearing this, Yun Yi was quite annoyed.
Fang Qiaoqing also had a solemn face, she glanced at Yun Yi, and then said: "I knelt in the palace for a long time just now, and when I stood up, I accidentally stepped on the corner of the emperor's clothes, but I heard a tearing sound, and this thing fell out of the emperor's crown clothes......"
Tao Zhiyuan raised her head, only to see the palace maid next to Fang Qiaoqing holding a bundle of hair, which made Tao Zhiyuan almost unable to kneel.
Yun Yi glanced at Tao Zhiyuan, and felt quite familiar, but he couldn't think of it, and he was angry in his heart, so he didn't dwell on it in this matter, and said coldly: "Who is responsible for my crown clothes!" ”
"Back to the emperor, it is sewn by slaves and maids, and Yunzhang is responsible for embroidering patterns." Tan Sizhi glanced at Tao Zhiyuan, his eyes vicious.
"In that case, both of them are suspicious." Zhou Luying stared at Tao Zhiyuan and said, "Your Majesty, this matter must be severely punished to prevent similar things from happening again." ”
"The matter hasn't been clarified yet, how can it be arbitrary, if it was done by Tan Si, naturally it has little to do with Yun Zhang." Wei Manhui protects Tao Zhi Kite.
"Tan Siji, I asked you, but did you do it?" Yunyi couldn't help but be upset when she heard Wei Manhui and Zhou Luying start arguing again.
Tan Sizhi hurriedly bowed his head and said in horror: "The slave and maid have not done it, please the emperor will be clear, and give the slave and maid justice, don't let the despicable villain frame the slave and maid." ”
Yun Yi moved his gaze to Tao Zhiyuan's body again: "That's you?" ”
Tao Zhiyuan kept calm, if she messed up at this time, she would definitely die! She took a deep breath and continued to whisper, "The slave is only responsible for embroidering patterns, and nothing else is known. ”
Both of them excused each other, and it was difficult to find out the truth. The emperor, putting hair in the crown is a great disrespect to the ancestors and the gods, according to the concubines, both of them are offered to the gods, in order to ask the gods to calm their anger and no longer bring disaster to our Dajing Dynasty. Zhou Luying proposed.
Tao Zhiyuan couldn't believe that Zhou Luying was so vicious, she suddenly felt cold all over her body, and felt like she had fallen into an ice cave.
Wei Manhui retorted: "Sister Zhou is so ruthless, you don't have a bit of a bodhisattva heart, how can you go to the sacrifice." Kill innocents indiscriminately, and the gods will not be angry! ”
Fang Qiaoqing, who had not spoken for a long time, looked at the two people who were arguing, and said softly to Yunyi: "Your Majesty, according to the concubines, this matter is inseparable from the division of the house, even if it has nothing to do with them and is put into the hair by others, but Tan Si system must be responsible as the head of a room, and Yun Zhangzhi assists Tan Si system in managing the division room, which should be the same crime." ”
After Yun Yi heard this, he felt reasonable, so he said, "Come on, drag the two out and kill them!" To correct the crooked wind! ”
Tan Sizhi and Tao Zhiyuan immediately turned bloodless, and Tao Zhiyi looked at Yunyi in surprise, but she couldn't say a thousand words.
The guards stepped forward and dragged the two down, Tan Sizhi shouted that he was wronged, and kept struggling, Tao Zhiyuan's eyes were moist, and he felt that the feeling of death was gradually approaching, and he forgot to speak in a dumb voice, and couldn't help crying: "Life is like a mustard!" ”
"Wait!" Yun Yi and Wei Manhui spoke at the same time.
Yun Yi recognized that it seemed to be her voice! Didn't Yun Qingyuan prompt it before? It may be from the division's room, isn't it...... It's her?
Before Yunyi could speak, Wei Manhui had already taken the crown robe, pointed to the gap on it, and said: "Your Majesty, the stitches on the clothes are all one person's stitching, and the concubines recognize that they are made by Tan Si, this matter may have nothing to do with the Yun Palm System, I hope the emperor will not kill innocents indiscriminately." ”
