Chapter 3: The Nobles of Bodhi Temple
Li Wanshu walked out of the forest, her feet were already soaked, and she stepped on the ground, feeling that her feet were cold and piercing.
After walking for a while, Li Wanshu saw a temple and suddenly remembered something, here on the outskirts of Beijing, counting the days, it should soon be the day of the expedition.
Today's emperor is old, he has countless children in his life, but not many have survived, except for the princess, there are only four princes left, namely the second prince Sikong Rui, the fourth prince Sikong Hunting, the ninth prince Sikong Jue, and the eleventh prince Sikong Xuan.
These princes maintain harmony in front of them, and they can't wait for you to live or die.
Thinking of one of the princes, Li Wanshu's heart trembled, he was the most capable and ruthless person among the princes, everyone was in awe, but it was not him who sat on the throne in the end.
This made Li Wanshu think clearly.
The royal family is a more complicated place, and she didn't want to be involved, but her grandfather was eventually involved and died tragically.
Li Wanshu exhaled softly, suppressed the hatred in her heart, and walked towards the temple, Bodhi Temple.
Even if it wasn't for anything else, just for the life of the 50,000 army, she should try it, and it depends on the will of heaven whether it will be fulfilled or not.
This temple is royal and not particularly crowded like other temples.
"The benefactor is here!" There were monks cleaning in the temple, and Li Wanshu was stunned when she saw it.
Li Wanshu paused, squeezed out a smile, and pointed to the Bodhisattva inside: "I passed by and wanted to worship the Bodhisattva." "She used to go through the back door, and her grandfather taught her medical skills here.
She really should worship the Buddha and give her this chance to be reborn.
The monk recited a sentence of Amitabha, made a gesture of please, and continued to clean, as if Li Wanshu had come many times.
Li Wanshu clasped her hands together and bowed to the statue of the Buddha, very sincerely.
In the past, she didn't believe in Buddhism, to be precise, she didn't believe in anything, only believed in that person and Li Rubing, but in the end, she harmed her relatives and herself.
Li Wanshu came out of the Buddhist hall and turned left, she didn't know where the person she was looking for was, she only knew that this side was a guest of honor.
After looking for a while and stopping, she was stumbling like this, and if someone knew about it, she would definitely suspect something.
gritted his teeth, but he was unwilling to leave like this, it was the life of 50,000 troops!
At this time, a door opened behind her, and a beautiful woman came out, her eyebrows were like green feathers, her muscles were like snow, her waist was like a bundle, her teeth were like shellfish, and her elegant dress could not hide her luxurious atmosphere.
It was really a sinking fish, a wild goose, and a frightening bird, and the shy flowers were shivering.
Seeing Li Wanshu, she was slightly surprised: "The girl is lost?" ”
Li Wanshu was stunned for a moment, maybe only such a beautiful woman can give birth to such a man.
He blessed his body slightly, and whispered: "After worshipping the Buddha a little, I came out and turned here." ”
This is the biological mother of the Nine Emperor Sons, today's Concubine Qu Niangniang, Qu Lingning, for some reason, was sent here by the emperor.
It's just temporary, and when Sikong wins the battle, the first thing is to take her mother back to the palace and be promoted to a concubine.
Concubine Qu was stunned for a moment, obviously she didn't expect that the woman in a wisp dress would salute her, she glanced at the soaked embroidered shoes under the steps, and couldn't help but smile: "It's cold outside, the girl come in and drink a glass of water!" ”
Li Wanshu gave Concubine Qu a comfortable feeling, she was neither humble nor arrogant at a young age, and she was relaxed.
Li Wanshu did not refuse, and bowed her head: "Thank you!" As he spoke, he put the herbs in his hand by the door and walked in.
This is the person she is looking for, the concubine of the commonplace.
After two cups of hot tea, her body warmed up a lot, and she felt a little slippery under her feet, and when she looked down, she found that it was her shoes that rubbed a puddle of stains, and she was embarrassed to scratch her face.
Concubine Qu saw Li Wanshu's embarrassment and smiled: "It's okay!" ”
As he spoke, he went to find a pair of his own shoes and said with a smile: "If you don't dislike it, it may be a little bigger." ”
Li Wanshu was stunned for a moment, her face was slightly red: "No need, I'll change it when I go back." ”
No wonder he was sent here by the emperor, how could such a gentle, generous, and empathetic person be suitable for the harem's deceit, no wonder the Nine Princes were so protective of their mothers.
Everyone says that Concubine Qu is beautiful and approachable, and it seems that this is true.
Concubine Qu smiled, without force.
Li Wanshu saw the pen, ink, paper and inkstone in front of her, and her eyes lit up: "Can I borrow your pen, ink, paper and inkstone?" ”
"Use it!" Surprise flashed in Concubine Qu's eyes, obviously she didn't expect Li Wanshu to be able to write.
Li Wanshu picked up the pen and wrote two prescriptions, leaving one and the other carefully folded and put it in her sleeve.
Concubine Qu couldn't help but lean over and take a look, and when she saw the neat words, she couldn't help but be surprised: "The girl knows how to heal?" ”
"Well, I learned it from my grandfather!" Li Wanshu got up, embarrassed in her eyes, her handwriting was really ugly, she glanced outside, and said, "It's not early, thank you for the tea, I'll go first." ”
"Okay, this?" Concubine Qu asked, pointing to the recipe left on the table.
"That one dropped the ink, so I don't want it!" She deliberately dropped it, calculate the time, Sikong should come and say goodbye to his mother and concubine!
After saying that, he went out, picked up the herbs on the ground and left.
As for whether Sikong can see it, it depends on the sky, and it is inconvenient for her to say more, otherwise it will lead to trouble.
In his previous life, Sikong led 80,000 troops to attack the enemy, but for some reason on the way, the soldiers suddenly became ill and out of control, and more than half of the 80,000 troops were sick, the condition was very bad, the speed of infection was extremely fast, and the military doctors were helpless.
In the face of the enemy's attack, Sikong Jue had to pick out 30,000 people who were not infected, and the rest were all killed and the corpses were burned.
She also heard her grandfather say later that it was a cholera, and if there was no way to cure it, killing and burning corpses was the best way, otherwise the 80,000 army would probably not be spared.
Even if they were not killed, they would eventually die of cholera, which was so ferocious that in just a few days, half of them were infected, and there were piles of dead people every day.
The world couldn't understand the behavior, and she and her grandfather did.
Cholera is the most terrible of all, killing people invisibly.
Even so, the enemy's army of 300,000, with only 30,000 troops, still won a complete victory, which was a great battle, and everyone admired it.
As soon as Li Wan Shu left the temple, he saw a team of soldiers and horses in the distance, coming towards this place.
couldn't help but hook his lips, and the legendary "cold-faced Hades" came.
Sikong Jue is wearing a black cloak, the three-dimensional facial features carved like a sharp knife exude a cold atmosphere, the thin lips are beautifully pursed, and the eyes are so deep that they can't see the bottom, like a king who reigns over the world.
When she saw the beautiful woman at the door, her cold face softened, and she sounded good and deep: "Mother ......"
"Come in!" Concubine Qu looked overjoyed, and pulled Sikong Jue into the house.
"Mother, you have suffered!" Sikong's profound eyes flashed with a hint of self-reproach.
"Stupid words, the mother concubine eats well here, sleeps soundly, where is she suffering!"
Sikong Jue looked at the thin lips and pursed it, "When the child wins the battle this time, he will definitely take you back to the palace." ”
Concubine Qu's eyes darkened: "Do you have to go?" ”
Although she was in the temple, she also knew that this battle was not trivial.
"Hmm!" Sikong Jue naturally understood that his mother was worried, and suddenly Ni picked up the paper on the table and looked at it.
"Oh, this is the prescription left by a girl just now, saying that it was stained with ink and no longer ......," Qu Concubine explained, and she didn't have time to throw it away.
Sikong Jue looked at the crooked words, frowned slightly, this is not only a prescription, but also has the symptoms and protective measures written on it, very detailed, crumpled the paper and threw it away.
"Jue'er, you must be careful when you go......" Concubine Qu seemed to be a loving mother's advice.
Sikong was speechless, bowing his head from time to time, saying that he would reassure the concubine.
