It was easy to coax Zhao Zhen to rest, and the moment he went out, the smile on Yixuan's face disappeared in an instant, and tears poured out of his eyes. Shuang'er was very surprised, and was so busy that she came to her and asked:
"Master, what's wrong? I'm going to call the doctor. ”
Yixuan grabbed her and choked up, "I'm just sad for my dead child." ”
Shuang'er couldn't help crying, "Master, don't be sad. Take care of yourself and want to open up for everything. Everything in this world is doomed, and the master only summons the little son early as God. The master is still young, take care of it, and he will be blessed in the future. ”
Yixuan fell at the head of the bed, looking sad. Shuang'er patiently comforted her for a long time, and the crying stopped slightly.
"Shuang'er, bring the incense burner and sandalwood." Yi Xuan commanded.
Shuang'er put a wooden table in front of the bed, and then put the incense burner on the wooden table, and Yixuan personally scooped the sandalwood powder and put it into the furnace to ignite. The cigarette slowly floated, Yixuan closed her eyes, folded her hands, and prayed silently in her mouth. Shuang'er sat quietly on one side.
Sandalwood is an incense offering to the Buddha, and the master usually only uses it for incense, but now this spice is burned alone, obviously, to pay tribute to the soul of the deceased child.
After praying, Yixuan leaned back tiredly and stopped talking. Shuang'er knelt down in front of the incense burner and silently kowtowed three times.
***
Early the next morning, Zhao Zhen came to find Shuang'er, preparing to visit the two women Yixuan met.
First, Shuang'er recognized the appearance of the two women. Second, Zhao Zhen is a man after all, and it is inconvenient to visit female dependents, so he must ask Shuang'er to follow.
The two went to two Zen monasteries first, but they were not the people they were looking for. When they arrived at the third Zen temple, the maid received Zhao Zhen's name card and went in to hand it over to the lady who was worshipping the Buddha. It was a long time before the maid invited them to sit in the cubicle.
The lady was late, with a good face and dignified demeanor, and a string of Buddhist beads wrapped around her hand. Shuang'er recognized her at a glance as the beautiful woman of the day, and nodded at Zhao Zhen.
Zhao Zhen understood.
He stood up, gazed calmly at the woman's face, and called, "Cousin." ”
Cousin, cousin?
Shuang'er was dumbfounded and in mixed moods.
It turns out that the person in front of him is still a relative of the emperor.
The county lord of Dening smiled slightly, bent down to give a blessing, and said, "Hello prince." ”
Zhao Zhen returned the gift.
Zhao Jinxiu, the lord of Dening, is the eldest daughter of King Duan, although her rank is not as high as Zhao Zhen, she is the same as Zhao Zhen and older than Zhao Zhen. Therefore, the two treated each other with courtesy.
The two sat down to talk, and the two poured tea.
"When will my cousin return to the capital?"
Zhao Jinxiu's husband worked in the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate, so she lived in Yingtianfu for a long time, but from time to time she would return to the capital to visit Duanwang and his wife.
Zhao Jinxiu smiled softly: "I only arrived two days ago." It happened that this month was my fasting period, so I lived in the monastery. I heard that you are married? ”
Zhao Zhen said, "She is also in the temple, and my cousin saw her two days ago." ”
"Really?" Zhao Jinxiu smiled brightly, "That's really fate." I don't know which one? ”
"Don't cousins know about Princess Yu falling into the water?" Zhao Zhen seemed to ask with deep meaning.
Zhao Jinxiu was dumbfounded, grabbed one of Zhao Zhen's arms, and said anxiously: "The princess fell into the water?" What's going on? Brother, don't worry, tell my sister that if there is anything you can help with, just ask. ”
"Cousin really doesn't know?"
Zhao Jinxiu shook his head, "I worship the Buddha in the meditation room on the day of my town, and I won't care about the things outside." ”
Zhao Zhen was silent for a long time, hiding distrust in his eyes, but he still bent his lips and smiled, and said with one finger: "She is my lady's maid, she went out with my lady that day and met her cousin." The cousin was accompanied by a woman, who could not speak. ”
Shuang'er stepped forward and saluted Zhao Jinxiu, "I've seen the county lord." ”
Zhao Jinxiu raised her hand and asked her to come closer, and looked at her carefully for a long time before she woke up and said, "It's you!" I remember. Zhao Jinxiu held Shuang'er's hand and said with a smile: "It turns out that your master is Princess Yu." If you are born like a Peugeot, you should also match my brother. ”
Zhao Jinxiu turned to Zhao Zhen, frowned and asked, "How is she?" ”
Zhao Zhen replied: "It's no big deal, my life has been saved." ”
Zhao Jinxiu smiled with relief, hurriedly put his hands together and put the Buddha beads in his palms, closed his eyes and said, "Amitabha, thank the Buddha for bless my brother-in-law." ”
Shuang'er looked at Zhao Zhen with some confusion. She originally thought that the master's accident was inseparable from the Lord of Dening, but the Lord of Dening was kind and worshiped Buddha in the temple, which did not seem to harm people.
However, Zhao Zhen just looked at Zhao Jinxiu coldly, and the chill in his eyes did not dissipate in the slightest.
"Cousin, who was the woman who was with you that day?" Zhao Zhen asked coldly.
Zhao Jinxiu's eyes were slightly puzzled, "It's my nurse." What's wrong? ”
"My cousin is the lord of the county, so the nurse should naturally be carefully selected, how could she choose a dumb one?" Zhao Zhen asked slowly.
"Alas, she wasn't dumb before, but one year she got typhoid fever and took the wrong medicine to make her voice dumb." Zhao Jinxiu propped his arm on the case and stared at Zhao Zhen puzzled: "Brother, why are you weird today?" ”
Zhao Zhen evaded, "No, I just wanted to ask my cousin if I had seen a suspicious person that day." Because my wife was pushed into the water, I must find out the murderer, otherwise I wouldn't dare to disturb my cousin's practice. ”
"It's all a family, and it's not bothering to talk about anything. I'm glad you came to see me. The corners of Zhao Jinxiu's mouth were shallow, and her smile was like a spring breeze, "Suspicious person...... You made me think about it. ”
Zhao Zhen said: "It's better to invite the nurse out, anyway, she was also there that day, maybe you know something." ”
Zhao Jinxiu didn't seem to hear his proposal, thought for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "I passed by the princess that day." Because she was so good-looking, I couldn't help but look back twice. As a result, I caught a glimpse of a little monk, sweeping the floor with a broom, and slowly walking towards the princess. But he's quite far away, it seems like ...... I thought the princess was good-looking, and I couldn't help but get closer. ”
"But now that I think about it, there is something wrong with that little monk, maybe he pushed the princess into the water."
"Is what my cousin said true?"
"Nature is true. Either the little monk was bold, or he pushed the princess into the water. Zhao Jinxiu said firmly.
Zhao Zhen's eyes sank, "Cousin, can you do me a favor?" ”
"Do you want me to help you find out the little monk?"
"Not bad."
Zhao Jinxiu nodded solemnly, "Don't worry, even if you don't say it, I will help you find out the person." This little monk is really bold! Fortunately, the princess is fine, otherwise, he would not have enough to cut off his heads! ”
Zhao Zhen stood up and thanked him. Zhao Jinxiu hurriedly grabbed him and shook his head with a smile.
"I'm going to see the princess. As a sister, I didn't catch up with the two of you to get married. Now that my brother-in-law is suffering, I should always go and offer condolences. ”
Zhao Zhen said: "Lady, she is weak and in good spirits, and she is still tired when I say a few words to her." If she saw her cousin, she would have to work hard to deal with it, and it would be even more difficult. It's better to wait for her to get better and go to the ground, and then my cousin will come again. ”
Zhao Jinxiu heard that what he said was reasonable, so she no longer insisted, sighed and said: "Mei Jiao Niang suffered such a crime, I feel distressed when I think about it." Brother, go back and take care of her, she can't find you, it's time to be anxious. ”
Zhao Zhen smiled, got up and said goodbye, and left with Shuang'er.
On the way, Shuang'er saw that the prince's face was not good, and he became more and more puzzled.
Did the prince believe it or not?
If you believe it, it shouldn't be this expression, if you don't believe it, why do you want to find someone with great fanfare?
"Lord Wang, slave and maid are brave, may I ask if Lord Wang believes what Lord Dening said."
Zhao Zhen's eyes slanted, "What do you say?" ”
Twins: ......
How does she know?
"Don't trust it all." Zhao Zhen said lightly: "Dening is thoughtful. Although the words are not leaky, there are many doubts in the behavior. ”
"Lord Wang...... Can it be explicit? ”
Zhao Zhen lamented in his heart, although Shuang'er was Yixuan's maid, she didn't learn Yixuan's intelligence at all. If Yixuan had gone with him today, he would definitely not have asked such a stupid question.
"First, Dening returned to Beijing for the purpose of visiting Duanwang and his wife. But she chose to come back from fasting and could only live in the temple. It doesn't make sense. Second, if Dening really cares about the lady, he will definitely invite the nurse out. Even if Dening saw the little monk's sneaky behavior with his own eyes, he would ask the nurse for confirmation. ”
Zhao Zhen pointed out the problem, and Shuang'er suddenly brightened up and nodded again and again.
"That'...... The little monk still can't check it? ”
"Check."
"However, the prince just said that the county lord of Dening may be a liar."
Zhao Zhen was speechless for a moment and said, "It's possible, but maybe it's true." In short, the little monk is the only clue now. This king will not let him go. ”
While speaking, he has returned to the Zen temple. Fu Miao stood guard in front of the door of the house and saluted Zhao Zhen: "There is nothing unusual. ”
Zhao Zhen patted him and walked in.
Yixuan can't sleep, and she can't get off the ground - she will be dizzy, she can't read, she will be dizzy, this can't do that, she can only sit on the bed in a daze.
Zhao Zhen hugged his wife, kissed her gently on the forehead, and said, "Why don't you sleep for a while?" ”
Yi Xuan whitened him, "It's not a pig ......"
Is it okay to get dizzy when you sleep too much?
Zhao Zhen smiled and asked her, "Have you drunk medicine obediently?" ”
"I've drunk it, two bowls."
At this time, a maid interjected and smiled: "But the princess ate four plums." ”
"Oh?" Zhao Zhen stared at her with a smile.
Yi Xuan's eyes were blank, and he pouted: "Then two big bowls of medicine, two plums can't suppress the bitterness at all." What's wrong with me eating two more? ”
"It's not that I won't give you food. When you're well-nourished, you don't have to worry about how much you eat. Don't be willful. ”
“…… Oh. Yixuan was sullen.
Zhao Zhen asked, "Is it too boring to stay in the house?" ”
Yixuan nodded pitifully, "yes, you can't do anything, it's really boring." ”
Zhao Zhen thought for a moment, smiled and pinched her face, "I know for my husband." If the lady endures it for a while, the lady won't be bored after a while. ”
"Why?" Yixuan asked curiously.
"Confidentiality."
