At this time, the ritual in the small Buddha hall of the harem had already begun, and the queen mother and the emperor sat on the top of the place. A lama specially invited from Qinghai was preaching Buddhism and morality in the hall, while the rest of the monks and nuns sat and waited below. I saw that the Queen Mother listened very attentively, with a pious face, but the emperor was a little tired.

After this lama finishes speaking, it is the abbot of Hanmei Nunnery who has no hatred. But I saw a young clothed nun standing up with a Buddhist scripture in her hand. The Queen Mother was surprised: "It turns out that Master Wuhate is so young?" ”

The nun replied respectfully, "The poor nunifa is a disciple of the Master of No Hatred. Master Hatless was unwell and had already gone back early. Before leaving, the master specially instructed the poor nun to take over the lecture on her behalf, and asked the emperor and the queen mother for a crime. ”

The Queen Mother nodded and said, "Well, tell Master Wuhate that you don't have to mind, your body is important, and there will be opportunities in the future." Master Wu Anger will start talking. ”

"Yes." Without anger, he opened the Buddhist scriptures and began to preach.

At this time, Father-in-law Bu Yi, who had just come in from outside, quietly walked to the emperor's side and whispered a few words in his ear. I saw that the emperor's expression changed greatly, and his face turned blue and white. Out of filial piety, the emperor didn't want to alarm the queen mother, and said to Bu Yi in a low voice: "Put a few guards in and closely monitor here, if there is any abnormality, take them down on the spot, if there is no situation, it is not too late to wait for the Dharma to be done." Bu Yi retreated.

As a result, the whole ceremony was unharmed and went smoothly, and the emperor was already impatient to listen to it. As soon as it was over, he found an excuse to help the Queen Mother leave quickly. Seeing that as soon as the emperor and the queen mother left, Lin Mubai led the guards to arrest Wu Yi and the others.

Although he didn't understand why he was arrested, he was not frightened, and only asked: "This lord, I'm afraid there is some misunderstanding here, right?" ”

Lin Mubai asked, "What about your abbot?" ”

"My lord is talking about Master Wuxi, she was unwell earlier, and she has returned to Hanmei Nunnery."

"! The guards at the gates of the palace didn't see such a person go out. ”

Wu Yan was a little puzzled: "Could it be that you got lost in the palace?" No, I remember that when she left, a little father-in-law showed her the way. ”

"Which father-in-law is it?"

Wu was embarrassed and said, "This ...... How can no anger know? I only remember that this father-in-law looked like he was about seventeen or eighteen. ”

"Your Excellency!" A guard suddenly came in and interrupted their conversation, "My lord, we just found Gao Quan'er's body in the woods outside the small Buddha hall. Wounded in the throat, killed with a knife. ”

Gao Quan'er is the eunuch waiting here, and it seems that he is the eunuch who led the way.

As soon as he heard that a human life was gone, he folded his hands and said, "Sin, sin." This adult, can you let Wu Yan go and give that father-in-law a ride? ”

Lin Mubai naturally rejected her request. Who knows who she really is? The matter was not clarified, and he would not let go of any of these people.

A thorough search has also begun in the palace, and since this hateless has not gone out, he must still be hiding somewhere in the palace.

————————————

Zhilan faintly felt that something big had happened. In the morning, my father and brother looked different, and hurriedly took two mouthfuls of food and left together. At first, she thought that it should be the show girl who was tricked, but then she thought, can her father interfere in the affairs of the harem? The matter may be serious.

Zhilan couldn't read the book in the study, so she walked out of the small courtyard and wandered aimlessly around the house. Seeing Zhan Shaofeng following behind him as always, he said, "Brother Feng, don't you feel bored with following me every day?" ”

Zhan Shaofeng replied: "This is my duty. ”

Alas, the wooden man is also extremely boring to speak. Zhilan sighed, and suddenly thought that Zhan Shaofeng had a very close relationship with his father, maybe he would know something. So he asked hopefully, "Brother Feng, do you know what my father and brother are going to do today?" ”

Zhan Shaofeng shook his head. Zhilan hung her little head helplessly, knowing that this would be the case...... When he was depressed, he heard Zhan Shaofeng say again: "However, I guess it should be related to the White Lotus Sect. ”

"What?" Zhilan raised her head suddenly, thinking that she had misheard, "But wasn't the White Lotus Sect destroyed a long time ago?" ”

"Yes, but there is still a sect leader who has not been caught."

The fear in Zhilan's heart! Could it be that the person who fell under the Gu was from the White Lotus Sect? Or is it the Master? That's a serious problem! In a hurry, she stepped forward and pulled Zhan Shaofeng's sleeve and asked urgently, "Then my father and brother are going to find this person?" ”

Zhan Shaofeng didn't answer, with a noncommittal expression. Zhilan became angry when she saw him like this, and shouted, "Then why do you say that it has something to do with the White Lotus Sect?!" ”

Seeing Zhilan's angry appearance, Zhan Shaofeng felt amused for no reason, so he relieved himself and said, "The two people who came to the Lin Mansion to investigate the prescription for medicine a year ago were sent by the White Lotus Sect. This was told to me by the lord himself, for the sake of the young lady's safety. As for what Miss said about the Gu this time, I think it is somewhat similar to the White Lotus Sect spells that I heard about when I was in the Northwest, and I guess the old man also knows about it. ”

Zhilan wondered in her heart that she hadn't told him about the Gu, so where did he know? Zhan Shaofeng seemed to see her doubts and said, "Miss, don't worry, I didn't deliberately eavesdrop." It's just - it's too close. ”

Only then did Zhilan understand that this person had internal strength, his hearing was different from ordinary people, and he couldn't hide anything from him. Thinking of the White Lotus Sect again, she couldn't help but feel a little worried about the safety of her father and brother. Since this person can use the Gu poison technique, he naturally won't be an ordinary person who is easy to deal with.

So she turned to Zhan Shaofeng and said, "Brother Feng, I want you to do something for me." The two have known each other for so many years, and Zhilan has never asked him for anything.

Zhan Shaofeng had never seen Zhilan speak to him like this, so he was a little surprised, and replied, "Miss, just give orders." ”

Zhilan took off two bottles of medicine from her body and handed them to Zhan Shaofeng, saying, "Please find my father and brother immediately and hand them these medicines." He pointed to the bottle and added: "My father used this white bottle, and it is the Soul Summoning." The green bottle is dry spirit powder, which is used for detoxification. You take it and let them mix it with a little in the tea first, in case the person is poisoned, it can be dealt with. ”

Zhan Shaofeng took the medicine and held it in his hand and said, "Miss, don't worry, I'll go back when I go." After speaking, he was about to leave, but suddenly turned around and said to Zhilan with a serious expression: "When I am not there, Miss will still stay in the room." ”

Zhilan was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily: "I know! So he stamped his feet, shook his arms, and went back to the house. Seeing Zhilan enter the house, Zhan Shaofeng was relieved, and jumped into the house, but he was gone.

Zhilan leaned on the window lattice and watched him leave, suddenly realizing that this was the first time in several years that Zhan Shaofeng was not by her side.
