From Kou Shu to Lan Ruoxuan, and finally to Concubine Qiong, who had an accident recently, the heirs in the palace frequently made mistakes, so that there were faint rumors outside, and the Queen Mother proposed to worship the Buddha and pray for protection.

If people find that there are many things in this world that cannot be changed, they will always pin their hopes on ghosts and gods, but Kou Shu feels in her heart that the matter of heirs is originally useless to ask for ghosts and gods.

Three days later, the Queen Mother took a group of female dependents to the Wangu Temple in the east of the city.

Wangu Temple has always been a place for the royal family and major families to sign and tell the Buddha and pay homage to the Buddha. Because of the deep relationship of Buddha and the vigorous incense, there is an endless stream of people coming and going every day. Just because the Queen Mother is coming in the past few days, she has closed the door and refused other pilgrims, just waiting for the arrival of the Queen Mother and others.

At this moment, at the gate of the Wangu Temple, I saw the abbot wearing a red and gold robe, and when he saw the queen mother and a cadre coming, he couldn't help but read a Zen saying, and then bent down slightly, and said respectfully: "The old man has seen the queen mother, the queen mother, and all the nobles." ”

The Queen Mother raised her hand slightly, smiled slightly, and said: "The presiding abbot doesn't need to be polite, we came here today just to ask for a request in front of the Buddha for the royal family, and we also need to preside over the abbot to give more advice." ”

The abbot nodded, turned sideways to make a way, and gestured with his hand: "The old man has sent someone to prepare a wing room for all the nobles, and I also ask you to go to bathe and burn incense first, wash away the dust, and when the time comes, the blessing ceremony will start on time." ”

With a slight bow, the Queen Mother went with the abbot. The others also followed the leadership of the little novice and went to their respective courtyards.

Kou Shu was taken to the east wing to lie on the side, although it was a side bedroom, but after all, it was the land of Buddhism, Zen wind and green bamboo, winding paths and secluded, there was a different artistic conception, let Kou Shu take a deep breath, obviously, I like the environment here very much.

The breeze is slightly blowing, and it is a little cool, which makes people feel unusually cool. Kou Shu closed her eyes, and ordered the mandarin duck to take the bamboo flute - qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, Kou Shu didn't know anything, but when she was a child, she didn't know why, but she had a preference for the melodious and long flute.

Put the bamboo flute to your lips and press the flute hole lightly, and the clear sound of the bamboo flute will instantly echo in the ethereal mountains, which is particularly pleasant to the ear.

After the song was played, Kou Shu felt a beam of scrutiny, and subconsciously turned around, but saw the abbot standing not far away, clasping his hands together and bowing to him.

Kou Shu's eyes moved slightly, and he hurriedly put down the bamboo flute in his hand and stepped forward: "The abbot is here, but there is something important?" ”

The abbot shook his head: "In the past, when I saw the queen mother, she was only half a person tall, and she was brought by Mrs. Kou to ask for a signature, and so many years have passed. The old man was just in a trance. ”

Thinking of her father, Kou Shu's heart sank a little bit, she was born, but her mother also came to Wangu Temple to ask for a jade pendant, and now the jade is there, Wangu Temple is here, but her father and mother are no longer alive.

Thinking of this, Kou Shu couldn't help but stroke the jade pendant hanging around her neck, the familiar warm touch made Kou Shu feel at ease.

Catching a glimpse of the jade pendant around Kou Shu's neck, the abbot sighed slightly in his heart and said: "Queen Mother, the old man has something to say when he comes here this time, if it is convenient for the Queen Mother, can you take a step to speak?" ”

Kou Shu couldn't help but be curious, nodded, and motioned for Mandarin Duck and Ripple not to follow.

Not far away is the place where the abbot worships the Buddha, where incense is lit all the year round, and Kou Shu stepped into it suddenly, as if he felt like he had fallen into the clouds.

The abbot's footsteps were not slow, and the two of them walked to the meditation room one after the other.

"If there is anything wrong with the abbot, just say it." I have been to the Wangu Temple since I was a child, and I have an inexplicable sense of intimacy here, and I have released a kindness to the abbot.

"Amitabha," the abbot folded his hands and muttered for a while, and then said: "Many years ago, the old man was entrusted by an old friend to keep a secret, and now the old friend is no more. ”

Kou Shu nodded, but some thoughts couldn't help but come to mind.

"It's just that when I look at the queen mother today, the old man has changed his mind."

Kou Shu frowned: "What does the abbot mean, this matter has something to do with me?" ”

The abbot nodded and said, "Lao Gao's old friends are General Kou and Mrs. Kou," after a slight pause, the abbot continued, "General Kou has been fighting bloody battles on the battlefield all year round, although it is for the stability of the country, but the blood is too heavy and the murderous spirit is too victorious. He had come to the Wangu Temple several times, wanting to wash the blood on his hands, but there was no way. ”

Kou Shu tilted her head and listened carefully.

"Lao Qu once asserted that General Kou was too angry in his life, and he had no heirs under his knees." The abbot sighed slightly, and the white whiskers on his lips moved.

Kou Shu was stunned: "Then Lan Ruoxuan and I ...... Lan Ruoxuan is adopted, I ......"

The abbot's expression moved slightly, and he said: "Queen Mother, the old man said that General Kou is under his knees and has no biological heirs. ”

"What!" Kou Shu raised her head suddenly, her eyes were full of shock and consternation: "What the abbot means by this, am I not my father's biological child." ”

"Amitabha." The abbot clasped his hands together and did not speak.

"Tuk Tuk Tuk-" There was a knock on the door: "Abbot, the time is up, all the female guests have finished bathing and are rushing to the Buddha Hall." ”

Kou Shu sat motionless as if she hadn't heard, as if she had settled down.

Lan Ruoxuan was fostered in the Kou family's child after herself, but Kou Shu never thought that she was not her father's biological child, if this was the case, who was her biological father? Why don't I remember anything about my biological parents?

"Amitabha" The abbot said again, "Queen Mother, let's go to the Buddha Hall to pay respects first, the blessing ceremony is about to begin." ”

Kou Shu still sat motionless, as if she had lost her soul, obviously still stuck in her own deep thoughts.

The abbot sighed lightly and walked out of the meditation room with the novice. Just about to step out of the threshold of the meditation room, he suddenly turned around and said: "Queen Mother, the origin and the fate are all destined, General Kou knows and understands this truth," and immediately turned around and left.

"Niangniang-" Mandarin Duck and Ripple rushed in: "Niangniang, the blessing ceremony is about to begin, let's hurry up." Otherwise, it will be delayed again. ”

Kou Shu struggled with her memories, and her eyes slowly returned to their former clarity. He took a deep breath and said slowly, "Let's go." Help me to the temple. ”
