Chapter 22 Thinking of a countermeasure
"Mother, are you really willing to help save Nangong Yi?" Seeing that Shen Birou finally agreed to help, Ling Yufei asked with some excitement, even though the wound on her neck was burning and painful now, she felt that it was all worth it.
In fact, she didn't think too much about it just now, she just felt that she must succeed in persuading Shen Birou, she also knew that it was wrong to threaten her mother with her own life, but there was no way to do this, if Shen Birou was unwilling to help, all hope would be dashed, and Ling Yuwei would be very sad if she couldn't save Nangong Yi.
Ling Yufei wasn't sure about other things, but the only thing that was certain was that Shen Birou still loved her very much, so she would never bear to watch her die in front of her.
"If my mother doesn't promise you again, do you really watch you die in front of me?" Shen Birou felt very helpless, although she was very unhappy, but she still had to compromise for the sake of her daughter.
"Thank you, mother, my daughter will definitely be filial to you in the future." After receiving Shen Birou's affirmative reply, Ling Yufei finally burst into tears and smiled, and then it was time to discuss how to make Nangong Ye change her mind.
"But my mother doesn't understand a little, Nangong Ye wants to kill Nangong Yi, how can I save him?" Shen Birou didn't think about this problem because she didn't want to help before, but now after agreeing, she realized that something was wrong.
Although she is a big celebrity in front of Concubine Li, she is just a palace maid with a humble status after all, and Nangong Ye has already won the throne, how can she listen to her?
"Mother, Concubine Li listens to you the most, and Nangong Ye listens to Concubine Li the most, so Mother only needs to persuade Concubine Li." Ling Yufei had been busy untying Shen Birou's heart knot before, so she hadn't had time to tell her about the specific method.
"As far as I know, Concubine Li also hates Nangong Yi, how could she promise not to kill him?" Shen Birou thought about it, but still felt that this matter was very tricky, and she didn't know where to start at all.
She has been by Concubine Li's side for so long, and she has long understood Concubine Li's hatred for the queen and Nangong Yi, so she feels that it is impossible to persuade her to give up.
"Mother, my daughter has already figured out a way, but she still needs your help to implement it." Shen Birou was worried about the problem, Ling Yufei and Ling Yuwei had already figured out how to solve it.
"What's the solution?" Shen Birou was a little curious, not knowing what Ling Yufei was talking about.
"Do you remember the monk who attained enlightenment before? As long as he tells Concubine Li that she can't kill Nangong Yi at noon tomorrow, the time must be postponed. Ling Yufei felt that since Concubine Li had believed the words of the eminent monk before, she should also believe it this time.
"I paid for the last time I paid for the eminent monk, and now I have long since disappeared, have you forgotten?" Shen Birou pulled Ling Yufei to her side, deliberately lowered her voice and said, if Concubine Li and Nangong Ye knew about it, they would all be dead.
"Can we buy another one, then?" After being reminded by Shen Birou, Ling Yufei also thought about it, and couldn't help but start worrying again in her heart, if they couldn't find the right person, then their plan would not be able to be implemented.
"Time is too short, where can I find it? What's more, Concubine Li is not so easy to deceive. Shen Birou also began to make difficulties, she didn't know what to do, she knew Concubine Li's character very well, she would never trust anyone easily.
"So what to do?" Ling Yufei couldn't think of a good way for a while, and became more and more anxious, especially when she saw that time was passing little by little, and her heart became even more anxious.
"Fei'er, don't worry, let my mother think about it." Shen Birou frowned slightly and began to think of countermeasures, since she had already promised Ling Yufei, then she had to do it, she didn't want her daughter to hate her because of this matter.
"There you have it, I thought about it." After a while, Shen Birou suddenly raised her eyebrows and said with some excitement.
"Mother, what can you do?" Seeing the joy on Shen Birou's face, Ling Yuwei's heart also lit up with a glimmer of hope.
"Wait a while, the abbot of Lingyin Temple will come to the palace to pray for Concubine Li, just so that he can help with this." The more Shen Birou thought about it, the more she felt that this method was completely feasible, because Lingyin Temple was very famous in the capital, the legend was very effective, and the abbot was also deeply respected by everyone, including Concubine Li, so if the abbot said it, Concubine Li would definitely believe it.
"The abbot of Lingyin Temple does have a lot of weight in his words, but what can we do to make him willingly help us?" Although Ling Yufei does not believe in Buddhism, she has heard of the fame of Lingyin Temple, but she feels that it is a little impossible to ask the abbot of Lingyin Temple to help.
"You don't have to worry about this, he will definitely be willing to help us." A confident smile appeared on Shen Birou's face, everything seemed to be too coincidental, because she happened to have the handle of the abbot of Lingyin Temple in her hand, so she was not worried that he would not help.
In fact, the abbot of Lingyin Temple is not as upright as the world sees, he secretly embezzled a lot of sesame oil money from Lingyin Temple, and this matter happened to be inadvertently known by Shen Birou, so she could use this matter to threaten him and ask him to help.
The abbot of Lingyin Temple never wants his reputation to be ruined, so he will definitely agree.
"Then I will ask my mother for this matter, and my daughter will go back first, hoping to receive the good news from my mother as soon as possible." Although Ling Yufei had doubts in her heart, she didn't ask any more, since Shen Birou said so confidently, then I believe she must be completely sure.
What she has to do now is to go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion and tell Ling Yuwei what Shen Birou promised to help, so that she will not be so worried.
"Don't worry, what your mother promised you will definitely do, but Fei'er, are you sure you won't regret doing this?" Up to now, Shen Birou still didn't believe that Ling Yufei really didn't hate Ling Yuwei and Nangong Yi, so she wanted to confirm it again.
"No regrets." Ling Yufei replied in the affirmative, how could she regret it when she finally woke up? She just wished she hadn't woken up too late.
"Okay, that mother will definitely try her best to help rescue Nangong Yi." In Shen Birou's heart, Ling Yufei is her only relative, so as long as she is happy, she will be relieved.
"It's hard work!" Ling Yufei hugged Shen Birou gratefully and quickly left the palace, because she knew that Ling Yuwei must be anxiously waiting for her news now, so she wanted to go back and tell her as soon as possible.
