Chapter 14: The Witch (8)

Tuoba Hong doesn't care about a Huici, and he doesn't have much father-daughter affection for Fan Yu. But there is some truth in what Fan Yu said, she just asked for a place for Hui Ci, and she didn't ask for too much. Tuoba Hongwei pondered, then nodded and said, "Okay." For the sake of the eldest daughter of the emperor, I allowed her to continue to stay in Mingjue Temple as a nun. ”

Fan Yu looked happy, and hurriedly thanked Tuoba Hong, and ran over to tell the nun beside Hui Ci: "Hui Ci has also been an abbot. You must treat her well, let her live a good life and practice to atone for her sins in front of the Buddha, and you must not exclude her. Hui Ci used to be kind to me, and if I knew that someone had kicked her out of the Mingjue Temple, I would be guilty. ”

"The eldest daughter of the emperor is really soft-hearted." Several concubines beside Lin Yuan discussed in a low voice: "Have you been in the Buddhist temple for a long time?" ”

It was Zhang Wanyi who spoke, and another Liu Jieyu said: "But isn't it, such a hearted person can't please in the palace." The eldest daughter of the emperor has just entered the palace, and she doesn't understand many things, and the most useless thing in the palace is kindness......"

Lin Yuan sneered when he heard it. She raised her eyes to look at Fan Yu from afar, and the young girl's face was hidden in the shadow of the torch, and she couldn't see the look on her face.

Lin Yuan sighed, even an eight-year-old child knows how to calculate people's hearts. If Hui Ci leaves Mingjue Temple, life will not be too sad. She has already saved up gold and silver mountains over the years, and bought a property in a village on the outskirts of Beijing to buy some slaves and maids for retirement, which can be regarded as enjoying her old age, but she has lost her former honorable status. Tuoba Hong is an emperor who has lived in the temple for a long time, so he naturally can't think of these details, thinking that as long as Huici is ruined, it will be a very heavy punishment.

And if Hui Ci returns to Mingjue Temple...... Mingjue Temple is a national temple, and people in the palace often go to pray for blessings and worship Buddhas, donate some sesame oil money, but they don't know the pickles in it. Because it is a national temple, the masters of the palace often reward a thousand taels of gold, and if they are stained with glory and wealth, there will be no purity of Buddhism. Those nuns fought so fiercely for the position of abbot and temple supervisor that people couldn't imagine it. Lin Yuan heard Fan Yu mention that Hui Ci had poisoned an elderly monk who threatened her status.

Hui Ci has been sitting firmly in the position of abbot for more than 20 years, and there are many people who are not convinced. Now that she has been sent back with nothing, her former adversaries don't know how they will retaliate against her. And Fan Yu, as the eldest daughter of the emperor, ordered that the nuns were not allowed to drive her out of Mingjue Temple, which meant more than that, even if Hui Ci wanted to leave in the future, it would not be possible. Mingjue Temple was her hell and grave, where she could only endure the rest of her life in agony.

And the funny thing is that Fan Yu Emperor Ji will also be praised for being kind-hearted. is so scheming, where is like an eight-year-old child, although Fan Yu has been in the palace for a short time, she is wiser than any prince and princess in the palace, because she has experienced the most unbearable childhood. In comparison, King Zhao, who couldn't let go of his mother's death and contradicted the emperor, seemed too immature.

After a short time, an inner prison outside the palace gate came in to report that Dao Shen had been hanged and the two puppets had also been burned. Tuoba Hong nodded and asked him, "How is the Ye clan of Changxin Palace?" ”

"Back to the emperor, the servant of Fang Cai talked to Lord Liang, saying that Xiao Master Ye had just taken the medicine, his expression was stable, and he had fallen asleep at this time." The inner supervisor replied with a clear speech, and Tuoba Hong smiled when he heard this, and said, "Reward." Reward the Qin Heavenly Prison, the inner hospital, and the palace people beside the Ye family. Then pass on my will, and order the hospital to send a capable medical woman to serve the Ye family, and in the future, the palace will take the Ye family first until she gives birth to the imperial heir. ”

Lord Feng accepted the reward and hurriedly kowtowed and retreated. When the concubines heard the news that Ye Liangyuan's condition was improving, their expressions were different. Since Ye Liangyuan is really well, it means that the witch Gu in the palace has been eliminated, and everyone can rest assured when they go back. But Ye Liangyuan, who was pregnant with a dragon fetus, escaped death, and many people were still depressed, and they wished that Ye's would be sick and have a child.

The emperor personally ordered the palace to take the Ye family first, and even Concubine Xiang had never had such treatment, which is enough to show how much the emperor values this child. If the Ye family really gave birth to a prince, King Zhao had just lost his mother...... It's really hard to say where the wind will be in this palace in the future.

It's just that in the current situation, the concubines have to make a happy appearance, and they congratulate the emperor and the Ye family. Tuoba Hong was originally angry and depressed with the queen, but at this time, his face became relaxed because of Ye Liangyuan's good news.

"It's been noisy for a long time, you all go back." Tuoba Hong waved his hand at the concubines.

The concubines have long been sleepy, who wants to stay here to blow the cold wind, and Concubine Xiang and Hui Jieyu, who were originally questioned, were unharmed, which one could have a good mood, so they all returned to the palace.

Empress Xiao was the last to get up. After waiting for the concubines to leave cleanly, she saluted Tuoba Hong with a dejected face and said, "The concubines also returned first." I wonder if the emperor will go back to Changxin Palace to visit Ye Liangyuan later? The concubines are also well prepared. ”

"It's not necessary, I think the Ye family is almost good now." Tuoba Hong said, the corners of his lips pulled up a sneer: "As long as the queen no longer pretends to be a ghost, the Ye family will be fine, and I don't need to worry anymore." Since I have agreed to let the Ye family live in your palace, you had better do your duty, and don't let her work hard and be frightened while she is pregnant. ”

"Your Majesty!!" The queen's face turned pale as snow for a moment, and her body began to tremble.

"Don't think I don't know what you're tossing in private!" Tuoba Hong said angrily. He has become more and more dislike for the queen, he knows that the queen once used an inch of thought to kill Concubine Xiang, and he also knows that the disappearance of King Zhao in the deer enclosure is her means, and this witch chaos is also her own doing. Tuoba Hiroshi was not a benevolent emperor, he allowed and even was willing to see the harem women fight, and he didn't mind how dirty the methods they used - in his heart, only those who had the ability to survive were strong, and they were qualified to overlook the mountains and rivers side by side with him, and to inherit the throne.

It's just that Empress Xiao's approach obviously crossed his bottom line. It was precisely because of the struggle between the Xiao family, the Shangguan family, and the Shen family that the harem was controlled by the queen, Concubine Xiang, and the Shen family, which caused his heirs to die inexplicably one by one. The strength of these three people is too strong, and the concubines next to them are powerless to resist and let them be slaughtered. And Xiao Yueyi, a woman, was even more ruthless, and almost took advantage of the chaos to kill his only son in the deer yard, which Tuoba Hong could not tolerate.

This time, she made a big fuss again, and wanted to kill two birds with one stone, Concubine Xiang and the Lin family. Tuoba Hong was very angry in her heart, if as she wished, the two favorite concubines lost power, and Shen Yunrong had to kill this time, then she was really the only one in this palace. Ye Liangyuan's illness was menacing, and the imperial doctor couldn't diagnose it. Tuoba Hong was still frightened at first, and then he thought that this witch Gu really worked. It wasn't until the blue girl next to Concubine Xuan Xiang secretly checked the pulse that she realized that she had just eaten some special food, which made others look like she was terminally ill, but in fact there was no harm to her body. Tuoba Hong was angry and didn't know how to attack, Ye Liangyuan deceived the monarch and teased him, but he was helpless because of the queen's order. It's so pitiful, and it's not easy to punish Tuoba Hong.

just hated the queen's lust for profit and dictatorship. This harem is the harem of the Son of Heaven, how can she turn her hands over the clouds and rain her hands.

If it weren't for Xiao Yueyi's contribution to assisting the emperor, Tuoba Hong would have been abolished long ago.

Xiao Yueyi raised her eyes and looked directly at Tuoba Hong in a daze because of fear, but she couldn't say a word. The emperor and queen were-for-tat, where had Lin Yuan on the side seen such a battle, and she couldn't go back to the house because Tuoba Hong was still occupying her small courtyard, so she had to shrink her body into a ball and shrink in the corner of the wall to reduce her sense of existence.

"Queen, do you know why I gave Shen to death?" Tuoba Hong said, and glanced at the queen with deep meaning: "It's because her ambition is too big." ”

Empress Xiao gasped, and her mind spun quickly - the emperor knows everything, he knows everything...... Since he knew that he still had to tolerate the scourge of witch Gu, it was because he wanted to take this opportunity to give Shen Yunrong death!

However, he set his targets on Concubine Xiang and Lin Yuan, which was contrary to his goal, so he was angry. It is a great thing to let Shen Yunrong die, but the disappearance of King Zhao in the Zhulu Enclosure only happened two months ago, and at that time, he was already suspected by the emperor, how could he dare to make a second attack on Shen Yunrong so quickly.

Shen Yunrong, Shen Yunrong......

Oh, the woman is finally dead, but there is no happiness in her heart.

Empress Xiao's mood now is similar to that of the Queen Mother when she heard that King Mu Wu was executed.

I didn't feel happy......

On the contrary, I felt powerless. Step by step, bothering to calculate, in the end, it is better to stand still. If she hadn't had ambition, she, the queen, would have been dragged down from the back seat a long time ago, and she wouldn't even have bones left. But the ambition was high, and it angered Tuoba Hong.

What to do, how to live? This is the back of Empress Xiao watching the emperor leave, and she kept muttering words in her mouth.

At that time, it had already passed the third watch, and the sound of the indoor clock leaking was rattling, crisp and lonely. Lin Yuan sent the emperor and empress away so that they could rest in peace.

In the middle of the night, a good Mirror Moon Pavilion was in a mess inside and outside at this time. Chu Xue led the palace people to clean up the small courtyard, and a rough little palace maid pointed to the dirty water everywhere and said, "Those nuns don't know what they have added to the water, it's so hard to wipe." Aunt Xue, it's not that the slaves are lazy, I'm afraid that the floor tiles on the ground will have to be re-laid to become clean. ”

Chu Xue was in a good mood, and laughed at the little palace maid's complaints: "If you can't wipe it clean, just clean it up, you can clean it up, hurry back to the house and sleep, don't make noise about the little master." She spoke quite lightly, and smiled again: "We can't stay here for a few days." ”
