Xuanshi (1)
Xu Zhao'an knelt in front of the Buddha and recited the scriptures, and at some point Master Huiyuan walked behind her.
When Xu Zhao finished chanting the scriptures, he found Master Huiyuan, and hurriedly clasped his hands and said, "Master." ”
"The person who sent you here said that you are the orphan of General Shang who died in the First Battle of Beihu ten years ago, so should the poor monk call the benefactor Miss Shang?" Master Hui Yuan asked.
"Miss Shang?" Xu Zhao was a little surprised.
Master Huiyuan said: "Someone said that the donor is the orphan of General Shangda, who has been kept outside, and has only recently returned to Beijing. The donor asked for the blessing of the general in Hongfu Temple, which is actually a filial daughter. ”
Listening to Master Huiyuan's words, Xu Zhaocai thought clearly about the cause and effect.
Emperor Cheng Ji was afraid that it was because she was too bored to change the identity of a so-called widow of General Shang Da, it doesn't matter if she is really a daughter of the Shang family, as long as Emperor Cheng Ji says that she is, she can only be.
After all, everyone knows that Xu Zhao is already dead.
"I'm afraid the master has recognized the wrong person, the little girl Xu, who grew up in Xilin since she was a child, and she doesn't know any General Shang." But Xu Zhao just didn't say what Emperor Chengji envisioned.
"Amitabha." Master Huiyuan clasped his hands together and said, but he was attentive in his heart.
Even though he is now a monk, he has also heard about Xu Zhao's affairs.
It's just that when he first saw Xu Zhao's appearance, he was really startled, this appearance is too similar.
I had long heard that Xu Zhao's face resembled Mrs. Chu in the palace, and Master Huiyuan just snorted indifferently in his heart.
At that time, Emperor Cheng Ji summoned Xu Zhao in Hanyuan Palace, and at that time, Xu Zhao deliberately lowered his collar, and his hair was pulled up, revealing only his neck as white as jade; The pale red crescent birthmark is especially noticeable on white skin.
Until she was sent to Hongfu Temple, neither Emperor Chengji nor anyone else had ever said anything to her, so she should not know anything.
No one saw it, and a sneer appeared on the corner of Xu Zhao's lips.
Xu Zhao had already died, and this game of chess had just begun.
After that, Xu Zhao still stayed quietly in Hongfu Temple to chant scriptures, but from time to time someone in the palace came to ask her about her situation, only let her live in Hongfu Temple, and His Majesty would arrange for her after that.
Xu Zhao was terrified: "Xu is a disaster person, and he is really ashamed; His Majesty was merciful enough to keep the people's daughters alive, but the people's daughters felt deeply uneasy, and they were even more afraid of incurring disasters, and the people's daughters were afraid that they would die and could not atone for their sins. ”
"Miss Xu, don't say that. His Majesty said that the so-called remarks are nothing more than a traitor framing the girl, and the girl should not take it to heart. "That's all the people from the palace said.
"The people's daughter has His Majesty's mercy and thanksgiving God." Xu Zhaocai said.
She waited patiently, she knew very well that Emperor Cheng Ji should come to see her in person soon, she waited for that day.
When the palace people were about to leave, Xu Zhao called him a little uneasily: "My lord, the people's daughter, the people's daughter, I heard that His Royal Highness the King of Qi is going to get married?" ”
The palace people replied respectfully: "Exactly, the princess is Ji Ruoli, the girl of the Ji family." ”
Xu Zhaozuo looked sad: "Then may His Royal Highness the King of Qi and the princess and his wife love and grow old together." ”
Regarding Xie Jun and Xu Zhao, the people in the royal capital are more or less clear, but when facing Xu Zhao, they don't know whether it is pity or something else.
When the palace people left, Xu Zhao reached out and gently touched the crescent birthmark on his neck, squinting slightly.
She's looking forward to what's next.
Although the fact that Xu Zhao was hidden by Emperor Chengji in Hongfu Temple is still a secret, there are not many people who know this secret.
In fact, Mrs. Yan knew some of the grievances and hatreds of the previous dynasty, but she was now busy with Xie Jun's marriage, and she was in no mood to care whether Xu Zhao was dead or alive. And after Mrs. Chu and her sister-in-law met, the Chu family did not move again; Even if Mrs. Chu is so anxious, the Chu family still has no response.
Now the head of the Chu family in Huizhou is the cousin of Mrs. Chu, and the branch of the Chu family on the side of the royal capital can't resist the power of the Chu family in Huizhou.
Mrs. Chu also knew too many things, so she was more afraid than anyone else.
However, Hongfu Temple ushered in several waves of menacing assassinations, but the assassins did not return; The assassin was not from the Yan family or from the Chu family, and no one knew who sent it.
The royal capital has almost become a Shura field where several forces are fighting openly and secretly, and some people don't even know who their enemies are when they die in the end.
Xie Lan also went to Xuan Jinhuan with great interest and said, "I have heard some rumors that Miss Nengxu is actually the illegitimate daughter of my father. ”
"What?" At that time, Xuan Jinhuan had just taken a sip of tea, and when he heard Xie Lan's words, he almost couldn't help but squirt, "Isn't Miss Xu Zhao a Xilin woman?" How did she become the illegitimate daughter of His Majesty? "And isn't Xu Zhao in love with King Xie Jun of Qi? If Xu Zhao was the illegitimate daughter of Emperor Chengji, wouldn't it be ······ Such a ridiculous thing, Xuan Jinhuan didn't dare to think about it anymore, and he didn't dare to write this kind of folk words.
"So I feel like it's just nonsense. But what I heard was still very vivid, saying that after my father and the emperor saw Miss Xu in Hanyuan Palace, the father and daughter recognized each other, which was very emotional. Xie Lan's expression was incomparably wonderful.
"If Miss Xu is His Majesty's biological daughter, then she should also be His Highness's own sister. In the future, if Your Majesty sees King Qi, I am afraid that I will also be estranged in my heart, which may not be a good thing for His Highness. Xuan Jinhuan said indifferently.
Recently, Wang Du has been too calm, and because there were too many rumors about Xu Zhao some time ago, so many that she didn't believe anything related to Xu Zhao now. It is indeed very strange that Emperor Chengji hid in Hongfu Temple for Xu Zhao's change of identity, and there is no suitable reason to explain this.
Besides, Emperor Cheng Ji is not a wanderer, and this kind of thing should not happen to him anyway.
But now things in the royal capital are really changing rapidly, and when they go to Yong'an in a month's time, they will come back and say how ridiculous things will happen.
Originally, Xie Lan couldn't leave Beijing without permission, but Master Xuan arranged things properly.
A pill sent from Yong'an is said to be able to hide from the eyes of the imperial doctor and "cannot afford to be seriously ill"; A human skin mask, also sent from Yong'an, can allow a "fake" Xie Lan to pretend to be sick in King Song's mansion, so that no one will find out that King Song is actually in Yong'an, thousands of miles away.
Xuan Jinhuan was originally afraid that Xie Lan would not cooperate, but Xie Lan actually thought that the human skin mask was very interesting, and after picking it up and playing with it for a long time, he felt that this method should be feasible, as long as he didn't come back for a year and a half, he shouldn't be noticed.
So Xuan Jinhuan asked Xie Lan to go back and prepare, according to the time, they would have to leave in about half a month.
At the time of the winter festival, Yan Qi and Zhu Yunqing, who were still in the royal capital, would also return to Yong'an with them.
