He Xi took a step forward, knelt down first, and said in a deep voice: "Abbot, the matter is urgent, and I ask the abbot to help——"

Miaoxin poked his head out from behind Huijue, He Xi just dressed up as a man, and didn't hide it too much, the monk guarding the door didn't know him because he didn't often contact with Hexi, but Miaoxin was different, he looked at He Xi suspiciously, if he wasn't mistaken, this female benefactor didn't make a mistake and was sent back to the palace in advance, why did she appear here.

He turned his head to look at his master, only to see that Hui Jue's face was also full of doubt, Hui Jue let go of half of his body and said, "Donor inside, let's say-"

He Xi followed Huijue all the way back to the meditation room, and Huijue instructed Miaoxin: "I have important matters to discuss with the donor, don't let people disturb us-"

Miao Xin nodded thoughtfully, Hui Jue closed the Zen door, he turned around and looked at the two people in the room, and said, "I don't know who this benefactor is-"

He Xi said: "He is a friend of mine, the abbot doesn't need to be suspicious, this time, the main reason is for one thing, and I ask the abbot to make it convenient——"

Hui Jue said: "The donor and I have some friendship, if there is anything, as long as I can do it, I will definitely not shirk it." ”

He Xi saw that Huijue was so happy, so he stopped selling Guanzi, and said straight to the point: "I want to go back to the palace and borrow the abbot's secret room for use." ”

Hui Jue was stunned, looked at He Xi for a long time, and said in a deep voice: "Well, since you found it in the Autumn Dew Palace, it can be regarded as fate, the donor naturally has a reason to do things, and the donor will come with the old man." ”

Saying that, he turned around and went out, Wang Lang hurriedly followed, but in front of the door of the Tibetan Scripture Building, Huijue stood still, looked at Wang Lang and said: "It's not that the old man is suspicious, but this matter, if it leaks out, it is related to the life and death of my entire Zhaohua Temple, and I ask the donor to understand." ”

Wang Lang seemed to want to say something, but He Xi waved his hand slightly and said: "Don't worry, you can only send it here, you have been away from the suburbs of Beijing for a long time, there must be something that you need to go back to deal with, presumably he will be back soon, rest assured." ”

Wang Lang frowned, and finally relied on He Xi, Huijue didn't know who He Xi and Wang Lang were talking about, but Huijue knew that He Xi's identity must not be simple.

Huijue took He Xi into the library pavilion, Miaohui looked at the backs of the two of them, frowned, he always had an illusion, that is, the woman in front of him would bring misfortune to the entire Zhaohua Temple, from the very beginning of the Huanyan Pill was stolen, he sighed lightly and turned around, and said to Wang Lang: "Donor, it's late at night, I'll take the donor to the meditation room to rest." ”

Wang Lang still seemed a little uneasy, but the matter had come to this point, and it was useless for him to say more, so he nodded and left with Miaohui.

In the scripture building, Hui Jue said: "The old man has heard that the epidemic in Shuzhong has been solved, and it must be the merit of the donor." ”

He Xi seemed to be a little reluctant to talk about the things in Shuzhong, she unconsciously tightened her fingers, and said, "The abbot is too modest." ”

Hui Jue only felt that He Xi this time was different from before, he turned his face away and said, "Donor, your heart is upset." ”

This is something he had never felt before, the first time he saw He Xi, He Xi was calm and brave, even in the face of the man in black of unknown origin, she could plan calmly, but at this time, He Xi seemed to be troubled by something.

He Xi's heart moved, and he laughed slowly after a while, and said, "Sure enough, nothing can be hidden from the abbot's eyes." ”

She lowered her eyes, letting the faint light on the wall cast a dappled shadow on her face, and she smiled: "I also want to have no distractions, but in the world, there are many bodies that cannot help themselves. ”

Hui Jue turned his head to look at He Xi, only to see half of He Xi's face hidden in the shadows, he couldn't see it really, he said: "The donor is very much like an old man I knew before, but she has always been quiet, even if she encounters an accident, she is still like that, I once thought, maybe I have never been a person who is detached from the world, we are confined to the world, but we want to try to break free - but I want to tell the donor what the man once told me, there is no path in this world that is destined to be right, the Buddha is still enlightened, Moreover, we are mortal beings in the flesh, and what we believe in our hearts is the Word. ”

He Xi's eyes widened suddenly, and Hui Jue's words seemed to evoke far-reaching memories in his memory. That person also said to himself like this, it was still when He Xi was young, she was punished and confined for sneaking out to play, Princess Mu came to see her, she was aggrieved and asked: "Mother, Daddy says that I did something wrong every time, but Jin'er doesn't think she is wrong, is there only right and wrong that Daddy thinks is right and wrong in this world, and there is no right or wrong that Jin'er thinks?" ”

That was Princess Mu also said in such a heavy voice, caressing He Xi's head and said: "Jin'er has her own ideas and ideas, which is naturally good, as long as Jin'er firmly believes in it, it is right." ”

She smiled, her eyes reddened with laughter, and she said softly: "This benefactor is really relieved. She seemed to be encouraged, her eyes were fixed, her steps became calm, and the two of them went to the secret room on the top floor, and the ice coffin that was originally placed at the corner of the secret room was gone, replaced by a rank, just four simple words, my sister's tomb.

With no name and no surname, he can only let a layer of relationship maintain, He Xi took incense from the desk on the side, burned it respectfully, and then saluted Huijue and said, "Thank you, abbot." ”

Hui Jue only half-closed his eyes, like a compassionate bodhisattva enshrined in the temple, and he said, "Donor, go." ”

Seeing He Xi's figure turn through the door of the secret passage, Huijue sat on the futon in front of the tablet and meditated.

He Xi didn't know how long he walked, until he heard the faint sound of water droplets in front of him, and the familiar smell of damp moss, and concluded that he should be there.

Only then did she notice that her legs had become unusually heavy, as if they were bound with a stone weighing a thousand pounds.

She easily took the torch from the side of the stone wall, and knocked on the stone door.

Ruyi and Lianxin, who were in the dormitory, were anxiously discussing countermeasures, and the ugly child had been taken away for three days, and in the past three days, Ruyi had almost been sleepless at night, and suddenly a slight noise came from the direction of the secret room.

Both of them were overjoyed, Ruyi looked outside, and after making sure it was safe, he turned around and opened the door of the secret room.

Sure enough, behind the door of the secret room, there was He Xi who looked tired, she was leaning against the wall, as if she couldn't stand steadily, the candle flame in the hall shot straight into the dim secret room, He Xi turned his face sideways, and waited until his eyes were used to it, and then he looked up and saw that the ugly child was not there.

She felt a little cold in her heart and said, "Has the queen sent someone again?" ”

Ruyi shook his head and said: "No, since then, no one has ever come, and the slave maid also wanted to send someone to investigate, but the people who asked said that Chou'er had not come out since she entered Weiyang Palace." ”

Her voice was already crying, He Xi bit her lip and said, "Change my clothes for me, Lianxin leave the secret room." ”

Lianxin looked at He Xi with some concern, but after all, she just sighed, she nodded, first helped He Xi change her palace clothes, and then tied her hair in a bun before leaving.

He Xi looked at herself in the mirror, her face was a little haggard, and she said, "Ruyi, go to Weiyang Palace." ”

Ruyi only wants to know the whereabouts of the ugly child now, and she can't care about His Majesty's will.

At this time, in the Weiyang Palace, Lan Ruo was half-lying on the beauty couch, Qiao'er hurriedly walked in from outside the hall, and looked at the people on the side, and the palace people retreated very brightly, Lan Ruofang put down the scroll in his hand and said, "What happened, what a fuss——"

Qiao'er's face was a little ugly and said, "Niangniang, that ugly slave-"

Lan Ruo paused, and said with some expectation and concern: "But it's a move?" ”

However, Qiao'er shook her head and said: "No, she insisted that she was a Jiangnan person, and she didn't know Xia Dong, nor did she know anything Mu Wangfu." ”

Hearing that she didn't confess, Lan Ruo was a little relieved, and she said slowly: "Since you confessed, what are you going to do?" Continue the trial until you have been recruited—"

Qiao'er gritted her teeth and wanted to say something, but she heard the voice of the little eunuch outside the hall coming in sharply: "Little master, Niangniang has already rested, besides, this Weiyang Palace is not the imperial garden in the palace, you are guilty of sin, without the summons of Your Majesty and Niangniang, I am afraid that it is not appropriate——"

Qiao'er turned around, Lan Ruo waved his hand and said, "Go and see what's going on—"

Qiao'er answered and walked away.

At the bottom of the stairs, standing He Xi and Ruyi, I don't know why, when I saw He Xi, Qiao'er was a little weak-hearted, she said: "Why is the little master Xi here?" ”

"My maidservant was invited by the queen mother, and it has been three days now, even if the queen mother wants to ask something, she should have asked, can I bring someone back?" He Xi asked stiffly.

A hint of something flashed on Qiao'er's face, Lan Ruo also walked out, saw He Xi, and said angrily on his face: "Bold, Your Majesty ordered you to be grounded, and now there is no edict to dare to leave the Autumn Dew Hall without authorization, come to someone, and take it for the palace." ”

He Xi looked towards the inner hall, but did not see the figure of the ugly child, and already had a bad premonition in his heart: "Queen Mother, the concubine did not do it intentionally, but the concubine was worried about the ugly child, and asked the queen mother to return the ugly child to the concubine." ”

Saying that, she knelt down straight, and the cold stone steps made her legs feel a tingling pain in her originally sore legs, Lan Ruo said: "That girl, her hands and feet are not clean, she stole the jewelry of this palace, and this palace has been punished, what should you do?" ”

He Xi's chest rose and fell, and she suppressed her anger and said: "There is a prudent punishment department in the palace, the palace people break the law, and they have their own prudent punishment division to decide, and the mother is tortured in private, but does Your Majesty know?" ”

The sharpness in her tone seemed to have angered Lan Ruo.
