Zhou Tong smiled: "No need to change it, it will be fine in five days, anyway, the most idle person in the house at this time is me, and I have nothing else to do, so let's go to Guangji Temple to do things." ”

Although the affairs of the Huang family are kept secret, Xu Shiji knows more or less. Back then, Yun Qi was angry and lost his mind because he mistakenly thought that the two children were all dead, but Zhou Tong became the adopted daughter of the Shen family by mistake, and whether it was Mrs. Jiang or Fang Fei, when they mentioned Mrs. Shen, their eyes were full of contempt. Xu Shiji guessed roughly, eight or nine times out of ten, that Mrs. Shen's means of adopting Zhou Tong were not above board, otherwise, how could a woman as powerful as Yun Qi not even be able to keep her own child.

However, the emperor's desire to rehabilitate the Shen family and win over the world's scholars, and let Princess Lintong do things as the adopted daughter of the Shen family, is undoubtedly the most powerful measure that reflects the emperor's grace.

There is no one left in the Shen family, and no matter how great the grace is, it is actually empty.

Five days later, Zhou Tong, the newly canonized princess of Lintong, went to Guangji Temple to transcend the soul of the Shen family under Jiuquan, and this ritual had to be done for seven days, and Zhou Tong lived in Guangji Temple during these seven days.

A fine house on the mountain behind Guangji Temple was used as a princess's residence, and it is said that in the previous dynasty, a monk prince lived here.

This time he entered the temple, Zhou Tong only brought Jiang Pozi and Jiang Ermei, as well as a guard battalion of fifty people composed of the Tartar army.

Fang Fei was pregnant, Zhou Tong didn't let her come with her, Yancui stayed in the house to pack up her things and prepare to move, Zhou Tong didn't let people wait for her, they weren't around, but they didn't feel inappropriate.

The Dharma was done for five days in a row, and it was all smooth and smooth, but I didn't expect that on the sixth day, something suddenly happened.

Zhou Tong is not a woman in a deep house who does not go out of the gate, she usually walks on the streets of the capital, rides a horse, never wears a power fence, and does the same in Guangji Temple.

This ritual of the Shen family was originally to let the people of the world know the royal family's mourning for the Shen family, so during the ceremony, Guangji Temple was not closed, and received male and female pilgrims as usual. Even the place where the Shen family was given a ritual allowed pilgrims to kneel and worship ten zhang away.

In the past few days, there are more pilgrims in Guangji Temple than usual, among these people, there are people who have had a relationship with the Shen family, there are also Shilin juniors who admire the name of Shen Yi, and there are literati who rushed from other places to hear the news.

Some people came to worship the Shen family, and some people came to see the style of Princess Lintong.

Zhou Tong didn't know that her reputation had already spread all over the world, this former royal pearl, and now she is in the prime of life, her story has become a topic of conversation on the streets.

Zhou Tong was dressed in plain clothes and prayed sincerely, but she heard Jiang Ermei muttering behind her: "It's still a scholar, I think it's just to see the beauty, the thief's eyes, look at the girl's face vigorously, and I'll pick out his eyeballs later." ”

Mrs. Jiang said coldly: "You dare to see blood here, be careful that the girl doesn't give you food." ”

Jiang Ermei rolled her eyes and said something again, Zhou Tong couldn't help but laugh, if it wasn't for Mrs. Jiang's scare, Jiang Ermei might really pick out other people's eyeballs.

At this moment, suddenly a scream came from the crowd ten feet away: "Let me go, let me go, that's my daughter, it's my daughter!" ”

Zhou Tong was stunned, the smile in his eyes disappeared instantly, this voice was familiar and unfamiliar, familiar as the voice he had listened to for a few years, and as unfamiliar as a lifetime apart.

An old woman in ragged clothes was trying to rush past the guards, and the old woman was unkempt and could not see her face, she waved her hands as if she were crazy.

The monk's chanting did not stop, and the old woman's screams were soon drowned out by the chanting, and the old woman was also carried out by the guards.

"What's going on?" Zhou Tong asked in a deep voice, this scene was too familiar, and she seemed to feel the pain of ten thousand arrows piercing her heart again.

"It's a crazy woman, don't worry, the princess has been blown away." Because they are doing things and they are in the monastery, they can't be punished, let alone just a crazy woman, and they just blow them away.

Zhou Tong exhaled deeply, and the pain in his chest was gone.

She said to Mrs. Jiang: "You take a few people and keep an eye on that woman to see where she goes." ”

Mrs. Jiang snorted and turned to leave.

She took four Tartars with her and quietly bypassed the worshipping crowd, and they soon saw the mad woman.

There was no need to look for it, the woman was not far away, she was sitting under an old locust tree not far from here.

The guards took her out and threw her on the ground, she fell, fell to the tail bone, the pain was unbearable, she couldn't stand up for a while, she simply sat on the ground and cried and scolded: "That's my daughter, my daughter became the crown princess, and she will be the queen in the future, Tongtong, hahaha, she is Tongtong, she was raised by me, a wolf cub, a wolf heart and dog lungs, and a thing that kills a thousand knives!" ”

Mrs. Jiang finally recognized the crazy woman in front of her, she almost couldn't recognize it, the beautiful woman who was round and jade in the past was now wrinkled, as if she was twenty years old.

"Mama Jiang, this old woman's name is the princess's maiden name, she is ruining the princess's reputation, do you want to arrest her?" A Tartar asked.

Mrs. Jiang said in a deep voice: "I remember that there is a mountain stream in Guangji Temple......

Half an hour later, Mrs. Jiang quietly knelt down behind Zhou Tong with four Tartar soldiers, listening to the monks' chanting expressionlessly.

Zhou Tong gently stroked her chest, she could feel her heartbeat, there were no arrows piercing her heart, and there was no "Tongtong" before she died, she was still alive and vibrant.

Everything in the previous life, at this time, is finally all over.

She is no longer the ignorant Xin Liu until death, she is Zhou Tong, she is Princess Lintong, she is Xiao Ren's wife, Zhou Yu's sister, she will return to the northwest, that is where she grew up in this life, where she grew up in her childhood and youth, where there are her blood, tears and laughter, from now on, she will work with her beloved, guarding every grass and tree there, guarding the flowers there.

After that day, Zhou Tong didn't ask Mrs. Jiang where the crazy woman went.

She didn't ask, and Mrs. Jiang didn't mention it, and Mrs. Jiang knew that the princess would not ask again.

For Daqi, for the princess, for everyone, the Shen family and everything in the Shen family, as well as what happened in the years when the Empress Dowager was in power, after this grand ceremony, it will be completely turned over, and history will open a new chapter, and a prosperous era has begun.
