"The mourning family knows, get up quickly!" Empress Dowager Xiaoduan hurriedly signaled Mama Liu to help Wei Qingqing up, and said something to ease her heart, "Don't worry, the mourning family will send someone to find out Ye'er's news!" You can live in Cining Palace with peace of mind, and everything will be dealt with by your own mourning family! ”

Empress Dowager Xiaoduan quickly sent someone to inquire about the news in the south, and ordered someone to bring a message to Concubine Rui, so that Concubine Rui did not have to worry about Wei Qingqing, everything was taken care of by her, and she would never ask Wei Qingqing to go on any errands.

Although Wei Qingqing was uneasy in her heart, she couldn't wait to fly to Ming Ye's side with her wings and see with her own eyes if Ming Ye was okay, but in the end, she could only endure and obediently live in Cining Palace.

At first, she also hoped that the Empress Dowager Xiaoduan would come forward to negotiate with Emperor Wu on her behalf and let Emperor Wu return home earlier.

But Emperor Wu gave the Empress Dowager Xiaoduan an excuse that he had been ill recently and was afraid of being sick, and he asked the Empress Dowager Xiaoduan for a few days.

He seemed to be determined to detain Wei Qingqing in the palace, so he deliberately avoided the Empress Dowager Xiaoduan, so as not to be questioned by the Empress Dowager Xiaoduan.

Wei Qingqing couldn't help but become more and more worried......

At this time, news suddenly came from the Qinzheng Palace, after Chen Jinbao submitted the closing statement, Emperor Wu immediately ordered the execution of Chen!

Wei Qingqing couldn't help but be taken aback when he learned the news - Emperor Wu couldn't wait for the execution of the Autumn Queen, and now he was about to be executed!

Wei Qingqing wanted to save the dust, but now she couldn't protect herself...... Even when she went to the Probation Division to see the dust, she was blocked by the people of the Probation Division.

Wei Qingqing couldn't, and in the end she could only ask the Empress Dowager Xiaoduan, "Niangniang, the concubine feels that Master Chen is not the real murderer, and there must be hidden secrets in this, so please Niangniang to find out." ”

"It's hard for you to protect yourself right now, so don't worry about the case!" Empress Dowager Xiaoduan tactfully warned Wei Qingqing not to meddle in her affairs, so as not to provoke Emperor Wu to dislike her even more.

Wei Qingqing could only retreat and ask the Empress Dowager Xiaoduan to allow her to see Chen for the last time, "Master Lichen once ordered the concubines and helped the concubines to get out of the maze, and now that he is going to be executed, I hope that Niangniang will allow the concubines to send him on the last journey, which can be regarded as repaying the master's favor." ”

"It's still a little inappropriate for you to go to see him," Empress Dowager Xiaoduan pondered for a moment and thought of a compromise, "In this way, you don't have to go in person, send someone to send him off for the last time!" ”

The Empress Dowager Xiaoduan said this, if Wei Qingqing insisted on going to meet in person, she would inevitably be a little too uninteresting, and I was afraid that it would displease the Empress Dowager Xiaoduan.

She could only follow the meaning of the Empress Dowager Xiaoduan, and chose the palace maid Xue Kite, who was the closest to her and was now assigned to serve her, to visit the dust on her behalf.

Wei Qingqing first instructed Xue Kite to prepare some food, "Snow Kite, you bring some water and vegetables to the Shen Penal Division, and send Master Chen for the last ride." ”

The snow kite bowed its head and said "yes".

Wei Qingqing motioned for her to come over, lowered her voice and instructed: "You ask Master Chen for a name for me, and you ......just say it to Master Chen like this."

Snow Kite carefully memorized Wei Qingqing's words in her heart, and repeated them word for word after memorizing.

Wei Qingqing nodded with satisfaction and said, "As long as you tell Master Chen what I taught you, he will understand what I mean." ”

Snow Kite was quickly ordered to go to the Penal Division.

With the dictate of the Empress Dowager Xiaoduan, the Shen Criminal Division naturally did not dare to stop the snow kite, but he sent someone to follow her and prevent her from being alone with the dust, thinking that it was Emperor Wu's meaning - Emperor Wu was probably afraid that the dust would leak the secrets of the palace.

Fortunately, Wei Qingqing had long expected that this time he would not let Chen and others get alone, so he did not let Xue Kite directly ask Chen for that name.

Snow Kite took out the water and vegetables from the food box, and said according to what Wei Qingqing taught her: "Princess Rui said that she was guided by the master, so she specially ordered the slave maid to give the master a ride today." ”

Lichen folded his hands and chanted the Buddha's name, "Amitabha." Ask the female donor to thank the poor monk for the benefactor. ”

Snow Kite said again: "The princess used to like to ask the master for Buddhism, but unfortunately she didn't have the opportunity in the future. ”

"As long as the Lord Wei Shi is dedicated to the Buddha, the Dharma and the Buddha's principles will gradually be able to understand on their own, and there is no need to ask the poor monks for advice." Lichen said slowly, his voice unwavering.

Seeing that the topic was brought to business, Xue Kite was overjoyed in her heart, and hurriedly followed Chen's words and said: "The princess said that the last time she discussed Buddhism with the master, she didn't understand that place and still couldn't understand it after she went back, and asked the master to give advice to guide the princess. ”

Hearing this, the dust gradually fell silent.

He knew that the "Dharma" mentioned in Xue Kite's words was actually the secret of the palace hidden in the brocade box;

The so-called "pointer" is to ask him to say his father's name.

As early as before Xue Kite came to the Criminal Division, Wei Qingqing told her that after the question was thrown, Lichen was likely to fall silent and unwilling to answer, so he taught her how to deal with it early.

Xue Kite silently recalled Wei Qingqing's words in her heart, and soon said: "The princess is pregnant and weak at the moment, and the emperor sympathizes with her, so he specially ordered her to stay in Cining Palace, first, she can recuperate, and second, she can talk to the queen mother and her old man." ”

"The princess asked the slave maid to confess to the master on her behalf, saying that since she was in the palace, it stands to reason that she would come to see the master off in person for the last time anyway, and that the friendship with the master was due to the Buddha's friendship and acquaintance."

"It's unfortunate that the princess has been sick for the past two days, so she can only send slaves and maids to send the master, and I hope the master will forgive me."

Wei Qingqing taught Xue Kite to speak like this, because she wanted to tell Chen in a vague way that she was currently under house arrest by Emperor Wu in Cining Palace, and her situation was a little bad.

Lichen thought thoroughly, and naturally understood the hidden meaning of Snow Kite's words.

He was slightly surprised, obviously thinking that Emperor Wu should not be under house arrest for Wei Qingqing, who only knew some details.

After his accident, he thought about it carefully, and thought of another possibility that his color suddenly changed - could it be that Emperor Wu had already found another secret that was not mentioned on the letterhead?

If Emperor Wu knew another secret, it was indeed possible to anger Rui Wangfu and Wei Qingqing!

After carefully weighing the severity of the matter, Li Chen finally changed his original intention and decided to tell Wei Qingqing who his father was, so that Wei Qingqing could understand why Emperor Wu suddenly changed his attitude towards her!

After making up his mind, his eyes fell on the bowl of clear water brought by the snow kite.

He pondered for a moment, and while speaking slowly, he quietly put his finger into the bowl, "Since Master Wei sincerely asked the poor monk for advice, the poor monk will last guide her through the maze, the Dharma is broad and profound, and the Buddha is ......."

While seriously explaining the Dharma and Buddhism to the snow kite, Lichen quickly used his fingers as a pen and water as ink to write slowly on a small table.
