Dongxue gently shook me, "Second Miss, Second Miss, wake up." ”

The sky was already bright and transparent, Dongxue wrung the towel and handed it to me, and when I wiped my face, I realized that I had come down all night, and my face was full of sweat and tears.

It's better not to sleep than to sleep, and when I woke up this morning, I only felt heavier.

Dong Xue was helping me hold my hair in front of the mirror, and before I could fix the hairpin, Qiu Si walked in the door and whispered, "Second Miss, the princess has come to see you." ”

I said, "Please come in." ”

Jianning walked in slowly, just as Dongxue had just set the last silver hairpin, Dongxue turned around and respectfully asked for peace, and after serving Jianning to sit down and pour tea, he silently withdrew and carefully closed the door.

Jianning looked at me for a long time, and said loudly: "I heard what happened yesterday, my brother ...... him."

Jian Ning's words couldn't help but remind me of yesterday's scene, and my stomach twitched coldly.

I interrupted, "Don't talk about it. ”

I swallowed my saliva and asked again, "Jianning, do you know why Your Majesty did that?" ”

Jian Ning shook his head and said, "I don't know, I just feel that the third brother has been a different person since he ascended to the throne, and sometimes, I feel that it is not my third brother." ”

I mourned: "The eldest lady's death is unknown, I cried and asked yesterday, and Your Majesty didn't say it, and I want to go to the imperial study to ask Your Majesty for clarification later!" ”

Jian Ning's face froze, "Miao Miao, don't go!" ”

I stared at her and asked, "Did something happen again?" ”

Jian Ning frowned, "Your face is so pale, it's better not to know some things than to know." ”

I stubbornly looked straight at Jianning, and after a long time, Jianning sighed and said, "Just now I wanted to go to see the third brother first, but I heard the third brother being angry inside outside the door, scolding the ...... It is ...... that scolds"

I asked urgently, "Who?" Who is Your Majesty scolding? ”

Jianning whispered: "I'm scolding the monk." ”

First the eldest lady, and now the great monk, what does Luo Xi want to do?

I trembled and asked, "What did the great monk do wrong?" ”

Jian Ning persuaded: "Miao Miao, the third brother is now the Son of Heaven and the Emperor of Southern Liang, even if you know the reason, there is nothing you can do." ”

I stared at Jianning and continued to ask, "Princess, what did the great monk do wrong?" ”

Jian Ning lowered his eyes and said: "I heard that the third brother asked the monk to go to Qiwu Temple to give a lecture to the monks there two days ago, and in full view of everyone, the monk not only refused to preach, but even the abbot of Qiwu Temple, Master Wunian, was refused to ordain for him. ”

I thought sarcastically, I knew the situation of the great monk, and deliberately asked him to preach the sutras and take the precepts, what sutras? What are the vows? Who's going to be cut off? Who do you want to embarrass you?

I chuckled and said, "Your Majesty is really looking for trouble. ”

Jian Ning glared, "Miao Miao, this is in the palace, don't say this kind of thing anymore, the monk is also at fault in this matter, it's just a step-by-step process, why bother to be angry with the third brother in Xingtou?" ”

I looked at Jianning and asked, "Is it just scolding?" ”

Jian Ning hesitated for a moment, "I also took drastic measures to confine the monk in the temple." ”

I got up and hurriedly walked out, and Jian Ning trotted up and dragged me and said, "Miao Miao! Are you asking for mercy? Don't go! It's just a few days of confinement. ”

I turned my face sideways, "Princess, you don't understand, Your Majesty is crazy, he can confine the Great Monk today, and he can kill him tomorrow, just like the Great Lady yesterday, I can't watch Your Majesty force the Great Monk to a dead end." ”

Jian Ning said: "Do you think no one has ever interceded? I heard that Rong Ruofang had just begged for all the love he could ask for, and the result was not the same! ”

I said, "Can I just watch here?" Do nothing? Give it a try! ”

Jian Ning pulled me aside, paused for a long time, and said in a low voice: "The matter has come to this, and you understand what my third brother means to you, so it's better to ...... Why don't you forget about the monk completely, start over, and think about it...... I think my third brother will not treat you badly. ”

I replied: "This matter is not about the personal affairs of the children, besides, if the princess completely forgets Lord Rong, can you do it, princess?" ”

Jian Ning was stopped by me and only pulled me, but stopped talking.

I bowed my head and sighed: "So princess, I don't want to hear this kind of thing in the future, people are not grass and trees, and there is no way to say that some feelings can be forgotten." ”

Jian Ning turned around, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Miao Miao, I'll take you there, I'll take you to the third brother!" ”

I nodded, and went out with Jianning to the imperial study, because Luo Xi was still discussing with the minister, so we had to stand at the door and wait.

"This Yichen is too presumptuous, and he simply doesn't take me as the emperor in his eyes!"

"Your Majesty is angry!"

"Humph! Sooner or later, I'll have to make him pay! ”

"Your Majesty, this master of the dust has always been not very honest these days."

"Your Majesty! Master Yichen's retainers couldn't be clearer, and I ask Your Majesty to calm his anger. ”

"That's it! Say no more! I'll spare him again today, and if there is a next time, it won't be as simple as grounding! ”

……

Until the unitary hour, I knelt in front of Luo Xi's desk, bowed slightly, and kept staring at the polished floor tile in front of me.

"Is there anything you kneel here today?" Luo Xi sat in front of the desk and asked, I didn't raise my head, still staring at the ground, "I guess you are here for the vicissitudes of things, no matter what you want to say, you get up first, and you will hurt your knees when you kneel in winter." ”

Jian Ning only stood on the side of the case, and also said to me: "Yes, Miao Miao, get up and speak!" ”

After a quiet moment, I was still kneeling motionless, Luo Xi suddenly slapped his palm on the table, got up and walked quickly in front of me, pointed at me and yelled: "You hurry up and get up!" ”

I slowly looked up at him, but without getting up, he asked in a deep voice, "Who told you about the vicissitudes?" Then, he turned around and looked at Jianning and said, "It must be Jianning!" ”

I glanced at Jian Ning, who was buried in his head, and said to Luo Xi: "Your Majesty, I have heard the Buddhist language in the temple say before that everything in life should be followed, not resentful, not rash, not excessive, not forced. After decades of life, what is the point of you detaining me here after all? But since you have detained me here, then, please let the others go, I don't know what they did wrong, and I don't understand why you are so ruthless, just please, I beg you, treat them well, please. ”

With that, I got up and limped out.

Jiankang in March was quite wet and cold, I knelt on my knees for a while, and now I began to have some faint pain, Qiu Si and Dong Xue brought a basin of hot water in, helped me roll up my trouser legs, and applied it with a hot towel again and again, the warmth that reached my heart, let my condensed tears break the embankment again.

Qiu Si took out a bottle of red medicinal wine and rubbed it in a circle for me, "Second Miss, this is sent by Princess Fangcai, and it is said to be very useful." ”

Dong Xue rubbed the towel next to her and said, "Qiu Si's technique is also ancestral, and it won't hurt anymore after Qiu Si helps the second lady rub it." ”

The more I rubbed it, the more I felt the burning heat on my knees, accompanied by a sharp pain, and I groaned twice in my muffled throat.

Qiu Si's hand was blunt, "But the slave maid's hand was too heavy and hurt the second miss?" ”

I forced a smile and shook my head, "No, you're doing a great job. ”

Qiu Si smiled, poured out some more medicinal wine, turned around and began to rub it on my left knee in the same way as Fang Cai.

I stared blankly at the half-round clear moon outside the window, maybe the great monk also sat on the edge of the bed to watch the moon and send affection?

Or recited, "People have joys and sorrows, the moon is cloudy and sunny, this matter is difficult to complete, but I hope that people will last a long time, thousands of miles together?" ”

"I hope that people will last a long time, and they will be together for thousands of miles." The last time I mentioned this, it seemed that when I was with the big monk, it seemed that I had an awkward relationship with the third master for Jianning...... I shook my head and smiled again......

Qiu Si wrapped my legs in the quilt, which was strict and did not leak the wind, and Dongxue looked at me and said, "The slave maid helps the second lady close the window, otherwise, it will be cold to sleep at night." With that, he walked over and cut off my view from the room.
