Chapter 60: The Gift of Gratitude, the Mystery of the Jade Pendant
After half a day of repair, Jinling Temple has regained its calm, and the dead monks were presided over by the abbot of Yuan, and they were cremated; And those killers who were abolished martial arts, the prince's original idea was to hand them over to the government, but who knew the fate and said:
"My Buddha is merciful, instead of letting them pay for their lives, if they become monks in Jinling and be guarded by Lao Na, they will be allowed to turn back!"
"Abbot can think about it, they were all demons who killed people without blinking, and now although their martial arts have been abolished, the essence will not change much, and what they did before is unseemly, even if they are really willing to take refuge in Buddhism, the previous master will not let it go."
"What the prince said, Lao Na understands! However, things in the world have causes and effects, and Jinling suffered a disaster because of them, so naturally they must also protect and rebuild, which is their responsibility. ”
The prince looked at him in surprise, this is the first time he has heard of this statement, but it is not unreasonable, even if he insists on this, it is not easy to stop it more, no matter what, he can be regarded as his benefactor: "The abbot is somewhat sure, and it is inconvenient for this king to say more, but if he is in trouble in the future, please speak up, but if this king can do it, he will never postpone it!" ”
"Amitabha!" He folded his hands and lowered his head slightly to express his understanding.
Seeing this, the prince just nodded, and then walked to the west chamber, since Qingyan was sent into the room until now, he has not seen it, and heard that her grandfather and father have rushed over, which shows that her status in the family is very transcendent.
West Chamber
Yun Fei's face was extremely ugly, glaring at the girl on the bed, and the suppressed anger made everyone who was guarding her stagnate: Is the situation serious? How many injuries did she have?
"Yun Fei-" She smiled bitterly, she naturally knew very well what injuries her body had suffered, the little novice threw it out before, hit her back against the window, and then when she landed, she not only felt the pain in her right foot, but also the strong vibration of her chest, and then woke up, the anxiety in her heart, and the pain in her foot, made her ignore the previous shock, and now that everything has settled, she feels the stuffy pain in her chest again, but even if she knows that her injury is not light, she still doesn't want his face to be so solemn, so as to worry her family.
"Shut up! Do you really believe in my medical skills, as soon as your right foot is dislocated, you run and jump, and you are not afraid of lameness? And what makes me most angry is that you have received a strong impact in your chest, if I expected it to be correct, you must have been surging with blood and blood at that time, and you lost consciousness directly, and now it is even more blood and qi in your chest, and this injury alone can make you recuperate in bed for three years! At this point, what do you want me to put on a good face? ”
Yun Fei spoke angrily, the shocked Qingyan was stunned, Jiang Yingyue's heart was painful, Qinglian and Qingnuan wiped their tears in fright, ran to her, took her hand, and looked at her very distressed and reluctant.
Qing Changgui and Qing Sanyuan looked at her in disbelief, although their faces were as pale as paper, and they were bruised and purple, slightly red and swollen, but they still kept smiling, so she really couldn't imagine that there would be such a serious internal injury on her body.
Yi Han, Yi Xuan, Ling Shan, and Qing Ping, who showed his figure, all felt guilty: if it weren't for the incompetence of herself and others, how could she be
"I'm fine, you don't-" She didn't want to go, and she didn't want to see her relatives and friends worried and guilty, after all, it was not easy to protect her life in the previous situation.
"What do you say? How badly did she hurt? Qing Sanyuan came back to his senses and looked at Yun Fei solemnly.
"Not bad!"
"Do you really want to recuperate for three years? What should I pay attention to during this time? Qing Changgui stepped forward and stared at him closely, for fear of missing a word.
"Although she is seriously injured, she doesn't need to recuperate for three years with me-"
"Look, I'll just say—" She smiled and spoke immediately.
"That's going to take a year too, so you'd better not take it personally!" Yun Fei is angry, only thinking about other people's feelings, have you ever thought about yourself?
"Huh! It's only been a year, and it's been very fast, and it's good to survive in such a critical situation! Grandfather, father, mother, don't be so sad, you should be happy, happy that I am still alive, right? ”
Everyone looked at her indifferent and breezy appearance, and they couldn't bear to turn their faces away, just because they all knew that what she said was not wrong: Qingping was exhausted, Ling Shan was injured, most of the Qingfu guards were killed and injured, the monks of Jinling Temple were almost dead, and the four strong martial arts guards around the prince were all seriously injured, if Yi Han and Yi Xuan hadn't been guarding Jiang Yingyue and the others, they were afraid that their lives would have been lost; Thinking about it like this, it's really a blessing that she is alive.
"Yan'er-" Jiang Xiren finally rushed over, he didn't go back to Qingfu last night, but was busy at the rehearsal place until late, and then rested there, and went back early in the morning, only to hear about it, and hurriedly asked Ling Yi to bring the best tonic and injury medicine with him.
"Uncle, are you here? What good things did you take? She breathed a sigh of relief, the atmosphere in the room was so solemn that she almost suffocated, and his arrival, and the shout, suddenly loosened everyone's tense nerves.
"Y-how did you get hurt like this?" However, he looked at her distressedly, with suppressed anger in the depths of his eyes, and his hands clenched into fists, making the sound of joint friction, making the atmosphere that had finally eased down solemn again.
"It's not good for this king! If it weren't for saving the king, she wouldn't have been so badly injured. As soon as Wang Tai'an walked in, he heard his angry shouts, his face was immediately ugly, and his eyes flashed with guilt.
"I've seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Qing Sanyuan took a step forward and bowed deeply.
Although Qing Changgui, Jiang Yingyue and the others had complaints, they also had to kneel on the ground to salute, after all, they had no official positions on their bodies. And Jiang Xiren looked at it stunned, the prince? He came in a hurry, only knowing that Jinling Temple had entered the thieves last night, but he didn't know the specifics.
"Uncle, this is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Qingyan tugged at his sleeve and whispered.
"It's all right, get up too! Miss Qingliu has the grace to save her life in this king, and she came here today to see her injury, and secondly, to ask her what she wants, as long as this king can do it, she will definitely do it! ”
"Your Highness doesn't have to bother, the little woman said that this is what you should do as a citizen of the Heavenly Empire, and you don't have to take it to heart."
"The grace of saving lives, can you be so hasty? So be it! There is a dragon-shaped jade pendant here, which was given to you by my father, and now it is in your hand—" He walked to his bedside, sat down, and took the jade pendant from his waist.
"Don't-" Qing Sanyuan and Qing Yan spoke at the same time.
"After listening to this king, this jade pendant is not a gift to you, but a token, if you have something to ask for in the future, as long as you hold this dragon-shaped jade pendant, this king will respond to you, you have the right to make this king's heart better, how?" Seeing that she still had the intention of refusing, he immediately spoke.
"So, the little woman took it!"
"If this king's guess is correct, Your Excellency should be Jiang Xiren, the young master of the famous Jiang family!" He nodded in satisfaction and turned to look at Jiang Xiren behind him.
"The grass people have seen His Royal Highness the Prince, thank you for Your Highness's maintenance in the Jiang family a few days ago!" He knelt on the ground and kowtowed, neither humble nor arrogant, but he expressed the sincerity of his gratitude just right, without the slightest flattery and disrespect.
Wang Tai'an helped him to get up, looked carefully, but secretly said in his heart: This granddaughter of the Jiang family was blessed by God before, and now she has experienced these things, you don't have to think about it to be sure, the girl in his mouth must also be Miss Qingliu. This little girl is really different, she is kind to the royal family, but she doesn't think about reciprocating, and her behavior is very different from that of ordinary girls, and looking at the attitude of the Jiang family and the Qing family towards her, it is clear that she attaches great importance to her, which shows that she is extraordinary.
"Your Jiang family is also deeply affected, there is really no need to thank you, and besides, my father also means this in his heart!"
"Your Highness is here to resign?" Qing Yan clearly felt the inquiry in the prince's eyes when he seemed to look at him without comment, so he spoke, not wanting him to pay too much attention to himself.
"Yan'er-" Qing Sanyuan called softly, although his original intention was to let everyone leave and let her rest, but he couldn't be so blunt with the prince.
"It's okay, Miss Qingliu is really cute, this king likes it very much, and it is indeed here to resign, the march has arrived in Qingzhou, and my father is still waiting in Beijing, so I can't delay it any longer."
"What about Huo Dao and the others? Their injuries are not fit to be haste! ”
"This is exactly what this king wants to ask Qinhou, I wonder if I can let this king's guards recuperate in Qingfu? You don't have to go into the house, just have a Zhuangzi, and when their injuries heal, they will definitely leave. ”
"The prince can rest assured, the old minister will definitely let the four soldiers recuperate with peace of mind."
"So the king will be relieved! Leave! He breathed a sigh of relief, got up and said hello to everyone and walked out, Qing Sanyuan took Qing Changgui and others all the way to the gate of the temple.
Qingyan looked at the jade pendant in her hand on the bed, although it was different from the style given by the person before, but the texture was very similar, she couldn't help but wonder if that person was also a prince? Thinking about the current princes, it seems that the age of the sixth prince is thirteen years old, and his height seems to be about the same age as this, but she remembers that the six princes have an extremely bad temperament, which is completely different from the feeling he gives people. Then he laughed out loud, saving people twice, the promises made by the other party were almost the same, and the tokens were all jade pendants, which were really amazingly similar.
Yulin Pass
Chang Tianyou's tightly knit brows since yesterday finally opened, looking in the direction of Qingzhou, and the uneasiness in his heart gradually dissipated.
Wang Tai'an joined the army, and when he was leaving, he looked at the Jinling Temple, where he experienced life and death, met a girl who was different, and felt the long-lost warmth in her, which made him extremely nostalgic, but the responsibility on his body did not allow him to be willful.
"Your Highness—" The close guards came on horseback, and he retracted his thoughts, turned his horse's head, and headed straight for the capital.
