He Xi couldn't help but slow down her breathing, although her eyes were slightly squinted, but she kept paying attention to the movements of the man in black, the man in black looked around, turned his head to look at He Xi lying on the bed, seemed to chuckle, and jumped out of the window with a vigorous figure.

He Xi couldn't help but breathe loosely, she got up slowly, and then realized that her back was soaked with cold sweat. The night wind blew, and a layer of trembling began to rise on his body.

Who is this person, you must know that this prayer, because of the queen's travel, the guards are layered, he can come and go freely, and he can't cause the slightest fluctuation, which shows the high level of martial arts.

Hearing the sound of He Xi getting up, Ruyi came out with a hanger, lit a red candle and asked, "Why did the little master wake up at this hour?" ”

He Xi stood in front of the window, looked in the direction of the back mountain, thoughtfully, and heard Ruyi's words, she didn't know why, she actually hid the matter of the man in black, and just said: "Maybe I changed places and couldn't sleep well." ”

Ruyi didn't doubt him, but just persuaded: "Little master, you better sleep for a while, you have to kneel for a few hours tomorrow, the slave is afraid that your body will not be able to bear it." ”

As he spoke, he stepped forward to help He Xi back to the couch, and He Xi asked as if unintentionally: "Ruyi, you said that we are traveling this time, and the Praetorian Guards will block the water pavilion surrounded by Zhaohua Temple, in this case, if it is His Royal Highness King Xian, can you be sure to come and go freely?" ”

Ruyi just thought that He Xi couldn't sleep, and wanted to find something to say, so she replied: "Of course you can, not to mention that this Praetorian Guard also has our people, even the prince's martial arts, and it is okay to avoid these people if you want to." Why did the little master suddenly ask about this? ”

He Xi smiled lightly and said, "It's nothing, I just suddenly remembered it." ”

Ruyi said again: "It's just that the prince doesn't seem to have sent news back for a long time." ”

He Xi calculated the time, it seemed that there had really been no news for half a month, she frowned slightly: "Then do you know the current situation in Shuzhong?" ”

Ruyi sighed lightly and said: "Although the people's hearts in Shu have stabilized, there will be a big drought after the flood, and it is not optimistic to think about it, otherwise the prince will not be able to delay returning to Beijing." ”

He Xi's eyebrows were tightly twisted together, but he didn't speak again, Ruyi just said this, then stopped talking, helped He Xi cover the quilt, blew out the candle and retreated. He Xi thought about his thoughts, and fell asleep lightly. But she slept very unsteadily, and in her dream she saw the man in black again, only this time she ripped off his veil, only to see a face distorted by pain, and blood kept gushing from his mouth, and said vaguely: "Jin'er, Jin'er, save my brother-save brother-"

It's Mu Cheng, that person is Mu Cheng.

With a scream, she opened her eyes suddenly, and it was already bright outside, and the ugly child walked to He Xi's side and asked repeatedly, "Is the little master having a nightmare?" ”

He Xi only felt the pain in her heart, she only felt that the grief was like a beast, rampaging in her body, unable to find an outlet for catharsis, she held the ugly child's hand tightly, and cried: "I dreamed—I dreamed—brother—he was covered in blood—"

He Xi's eyes were confused, as if he was a child at a loss, the ugly child hurriedly grabbed He Xi's hand, strained slightly, and said, "What is the little master talking nonsense?" Little lord, you're having a nightmare! ”

He Xi only felt a pain in her arm, and the whole person became much clearer, and she happened to see Ruyi coming in with clear water, she quickly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, but she was still seen by Ruyi, she hurriedly put down the basin in her hand, walked over and said, "Little master, what's wrong?" ”

The ugly child smiled far-fetchedly and said, "The little master has a nightmare." ”

Ruyi couldn't help frowning and said, "Is the little master unwell?" Why couldn't I sleep last night, I finally fell asleep but had a nightmare, everyone said that this Buddha door is pure, all come to find a peace of mind, why is the little lord reversed? ”

He Xi had also eased her breath at this time, and she said lightly: "Maybe my heart is not quiet, if my heart is calm, even if I am in the middle of the city, I can be calm." ”

It's just that she didn't say the latter words, maybe she has no way to be indifferent in her life, Chou'er saw He Xi's slightly lonely look, she couldn't help but feel distressed, she took a handkerchief and soaked it in the water, and wiped it briefly for He Xi, the water still had a slight coolness in the morning, stimulating He Xi's nerves, so that she didn't feel slightly relaxed.

The two served He Xi to wash and comb, and pulled the long ink-colored hair into a bun behind their heads, Ruyi took out a beaded flower from the makeup, and wanted to put it on for He Xi, but He Xi stretched out his hand, took an ebony hairpin, handed it over and said: "Pray for blessings and chanting, it should not be too luxurious." Let's take this with you."

Ruyi nodded, obediently put the hairpin in place, and then went out.

Outside the Daxiong Treasure Hall, there were already people waiting there, and when they saw He Xi coming, they said loudly: "Xi Cai must have copied the scriptures late last night, and he came so late today." ”

It was Liu Ru, and there was still a good sister Su Xin standing beside her, He Xi looked around and said, "There is still an hour before the time to pray for blessings, and besides, the queen has not yet arrived, how can I be considered late?" Liu Cairen is so idle, it seems that yesterday's scriptures have been copied less. He Xi replied lightly.

Liu Ru was ridiculed by He Xi like this, but she was not angry at all, and even said with a little excitement: "Copying a lot less, you will know when you burn the scriptures, but if Xi Cai people cut corners, we will be punished if they are discovered." ”

Before the words fell, I heard a delicate voice take over the words: "Naturally, you will be punished, chanting and praying for blessings is such a solemn thing, if someone really cuts corners, the queen mother must be severely punished." ”

It was Xiao Nai, several people saluted together, He Xi saw Xiao Nai coming, and never spoke again, Xiao Nai just stood aside and waited, not long after, the queen led a few high-ranking concubines to come over, looking at the past from a distance, Lan Ruo is dignified and atmospheric, Concubine Hui is delicate and pretty, Concubine Shu has a gentle temperament, plus she is pregnant, she looks more and more graceful, when it really has its own merits, after everyone saluted, the host opened the door, and Lan Ruo led the fish in.

Bai Zhi came with the queen, and at this time, according to the order of rank, stood with He Xi and others, Lan Ruo stood at the front of the team, the presiding abbot and a group of monks were also wearing robes, with solemn expressions, Lan Ruo looked at the Buddha statue in front of him with a compassionate face, and knelt down reverently, and then everyone also knelt down with the queen.

Abbot Huijue took the incense from the monk behind him, handed it to Lan Ruo, there was a little monk to distribute things to the concubines behind, He Xi held the incense in his hand and was slightly distracted, the left hand of the Buddha statue above drooped, and the right hand bent the arm upward, this is called "Tan Tan Buddha Statue", the legend is that when the Buddha was alive, the king of India used the sandalwood to make it according to the face of the Buddha. The name of the hand is "Wish Seal", which means that it can fulfill the wishes of all beings; The name of the upper stretch is "Shi Fearless Seal", which means that it can remove the suffering of sentient beings.

The corners of He Xi's lips raised a smile similar to mockery, Ah Niangyuan also believed in these very much, but what was the final result? Buddha crossed the world, she tilted her face slightly, and looked at the treasure in front of her with an almost questioning look, how have you ever relieved my suffering?

The little monk on the side was slightly surprised when he saw her look, but he also knew that these were nobles in the palace, and some things were not something they could manage.

Everyone stepped forward in turn, burned the incense in their hands, and put it into the incense ding, because He Xi and Liu Ru had the same position, they entered the incense together, but they didn't want to, before He Xi stepped forward, Liu Ru took a step in front, and hit He Xi's shoulder, He Xi had been kneeling on the futon for a long time, his legs were a little sore, and he was hit like this, it was a stumbling, Bai Zhi's eyes quickly helped him, Liu Ru glanced at the two of them, and the corners of his lips hooked up a mocking and contemptuous smile.

This scene fell into the eyes of everyone, everyone had their own thoughts, Lan Ruo's eyes were half-closed, as if she was praying sincerely, and Concubine Hui and Xiao Nai were gloating with a face, and they were happy to see such a scene.

And Xu Qing'er stood aside by the pothos's support, but her appearance became more and more restrained and gentle, even the pothos, who had always been above the top, stood aside obediently at this time, her face was calm and waveless, and she didn't seem to see what happened to He Xi.

He Xi slowed his breath, looked at Bai Zhi beside him gratefully, and continued the movements in his hands, the abbot on the side saw it, his face was pale, if it weren't for the identity of their concubines, he was afraid that he would have been scolded on the spot, but he didn't, he just compassionate half-closed eyes, as if he was settled, ignoring it, but his heart was full of sorrow, how many of these glamorous concubines really came to pray for those refugees who died in vain? Inevitably, there were few, he folded his hands and proclaimed Amitabha.

At this time, Liu Ru and Su Xin had entered the incense, and it was He Xi's turn, He Xi raised her hands high above her head in accordance with the etiquette, and bowed, but she didn't see the mocking look in her eyes.

After the incense is finished, it is about to burn the scriptures, Lan Ruo waved his hand, Qiao'er sent some scriptures, Lan Ruo said to the abbot: "Master Abbot, here is our harem sisters copied together, seventy-nine Diamond Sutra scriptures, plus yesterday Xicai and Liu Cai disturbed the purity of the Buddhist door, punished and copied twenty articles, a total of ninety-nine articles, and I hope that the abbot master can burn and pray for us." Her tone was gentle, with the grace and majesty of the mother of a nation.

Hui Jue said naturally: "The queen's mother is serious, you can come to our temple in person, care about the common people, and the old monk will definitely cooperate more." ”

After speaking, he asked the little monk to go to the Buddhist shrine to get the scriptures. Liu Ru looked a little worried, she looked at Su Xin, Su Xin nodded as if encouraging, Liu Ru took a deep breath, stepped forward, and said loudly: "Praying for Shuzhong is a big deal, don't be sloppy, the number of these scriptures must also be counted clearly, otherwise, it will be regarded as disrespecting the Buddha." ”
