Chapter 493: Karma
Mama Han's people sent the news to the shop, Xiaokui personally brought it to report to Gu Mingzhu, she sat on the futon and thought for a while before she spoke: "Let Mama think of handing over a message to Mrs. Cen San and ask her what Yun Niang is going to do." ”
If Cen Yun still didn't give up and still wanted to follow Li Nian, she was afraid that even the gods wouldn't be able to save her, and Gu Mingzhu didn't have such kindness, and she still wanted to save others in such turbulent waves, especially people who didn't know what to do.
Mao's past few days to talk to Gu Mingzhu, but also frightened, such days are always precarious, the rebels outside are still searching and looting, although the Huguo Temple is inconspicuous, it will not attract rebels for a while, it is still safe, but it can't let people escape from Chang'an, I can't say that one day it will come to the door, she and Gu Yuan are even worried about sleeping these days.
Only here is Gu Mingzhu, talking to her, looking at her calm appearance, Mao's heart can calm down a little.
“…… It's been a lot quieter these days, and I don't know if the rebels are gone, and they will withdraw to Anxi after a while. Mao sighed, "I just don't know how long it will take, and I don't know what the situation in the house is, I'm afraid that someone has already broken in." ”
Gu Mingzhu knew the situation in the mansion, and the general's mansion and the county lord's mansion had never been breached after all, perhaps because most of the guards in the mansion were left behind, and those rebels were just scattered soldiers, or maybe the rebels already knew that the masters in the mansion were not there, so they didn't bother to break the mansion so hard.
It's just that there is no such good luck in other mansions in Chang'an, several Xungui mansions have broken the door, the rebels rushed in to burn and loot, not only robbed the property, but also injured a lot of people, there is the Yanguo Mansion, the people who sent the news said that the courtyard wall of the Yanguo Mansion was broken in half, and the rebels robbed a lot of valuable property in the mansion, and set a fire to the one that could not be taken away, and the main courtyard burned most of it, and the female dependents were also ripped off the hairpin ring jewelry on their heads, and the crying was earth-shattering, and they were heard clearly outside the alley.
It's just that Gu Mingzhu didn't tell Mao, because Mao is now a frightened bird, full of fear, if she knows these things again, she will be even more afraid, not to mention that these news are sent to the temple in private, she can't say more.
She chuckled and comforted Mao: "Second aunt is relieved, my father has already sent troops to Chang'an Qinwang, and the time should be in these few days, so there is nothing to be afraid of." ”
She has asked Cui Lin's personal guards to rush to the northwest as soon as possible, and let her father bring the five thousand elite soldiers, if Gu Qing is transferred without an edict, it will take a great risk, but the five thousand elite soldiers and Gu Qing's personal guards can be mobilized, and the overall situation can be determined if they can come to Chang'an.
Naturally, these Mao people didn't know, she just sighed: "Such a day is really scary, such a good day, but why make all this, can the people of this city still live in peace?" ”
She said, and said curiously: "The saint is in the hands of that group of thieves, but why don't you see His Royal Highness King Xian, isn't he also in Chang'an, why didn't he come to save King Jiaqin?" ”
King Xian and the saint are both the sons of the Queen Mother, but since the rebellion, he has not been seen, and many people have speculated whether he also fell into the hands of King Chen Liu.
Gu Mingzhu sneered lightly, the news sent from the Taiji Palace, King Xian was not held, but guarded the palace behind closed doors, there were many dead soldiers in his palace, and the rebels did not break through the palace for a while, the strange thing is that King Chen Liu didn't seem to pay attention to him, and he was so peaceful.
But he had never heard of him sending someone to inquire about the Queen of Heaven, as if he knew nothing about the rebellion.
She shook her head: "No news. ”
It's just that I don't know that in such a situation, the seriously ill Princess Xian can still hold on.
Mao sighed again: "These royal ...... It doesn't seem to be much better than our ordinary people. ”
Although she has never seen the Queen Mother these days, she has also seen the palace maids who are waiting for the Queen Mother, and she has seen a lot of people coming in and out, and naturally she has heard some rumors, but she only thinks that the noble royal family is not much better than the General's Mansion, there are unfilial children and grandchildren, and there are unclear housework, and the Queen Mother looks like a poor person.
Gu Mingzhu sighed slightly in her heart, but she remembered and asked, "Why don't you see Mingyu, she hasn't shown up much these days, but what has she done?" ”
Mao frowned: "That's what I said, she didn't go to me much these days, she just asked people to send things over." ”
Gu Mingzhu felt that something was wrong, Gu Mingyu stayed in Huguo Temple with them, except for serving in front of the Queen Mother every day, but she didn't show up much, plus she saw Gu Mingyu's expression that day was clearly wrong, I was afraid that something was really wrong.
She called Xiaokui over: "I want people to inquire, what is the matter with King Xian?" ”
After talking to Mao for a while and sending her back, Xiaokui quietly entered the room: "County Lord, I haven't heard anything wrong, the princess is in the room, but I heard that the food has not been touched much in the past few days." ”
Gu Mingzhu's face was even more unsightly, she knew Gu Mingyu's temperament, and when she couldn't hide something in her heart, she would reveal it without reservation, and she was afraid that she would have something to say, and she couldn't say it to herself.
It's just that Gu Mingyu doesn't say it, and she can't ask directly, only when she understands it herself and says it.
She instructed Xiaokui: "If you watch the princess go to the queen mother's side, tell me, and I will meet her." ”
There are some things that she has to believe Gu Mingzhu to say.
It just seemed like a calm and oppressive day, but the storm hanging overhead was coming, and everyone seemed to be waiting for this moment, afraid or looking forward to it.
At twilight, it rained heavily in Chang'an, the rain poured down from the eaves and connected into a bead curtain, the Buddha hall was transparent in all directions, the rain soaked the gray and yellow curtains and dripping wet the ground, but the queen mother still knelt in front of the Buddha, closed her eyes and recited the scriptures, and the Buddha beads in her hands kept fiddling.
Xu Siyan stepped forward worriedly: "Niangniang, the rain is strong and the wind is urgent, it is better to go back to the room to rest first." ”
Tomorrow is the enthronement ceremony of King Chen Liu's Chan, and she is worried that the queen mother's mind is heavy and her body can't withstand it.
The Queen Mother didn't even open her eyes, and after reciting a volume of scriptures, she said slowly: "It's okay, I'll read another paragraph, and I always have to cross for those karmic obstacles to feel at ease." ”
Xu Siyan couldn't help but be silent, and bent his knees and retreated.
When she closed the door, she saw the back of the Queen Mother kneeling in front of the Buddha with the curtain that was swept up by the wind, silent and helpless, just like her kneeling in front of the coffin of the first emperor.
