Chapter 197: A Sudden Fire
Seeing Rong Guiren nodding, the Queen Mother smiled with satisfaction and said: "You girl, although it looks like she is out of the woods, when you should do things seriously, you are still a little serious, in this palace, you can calm down and help the mourning family copy Buddhist scriptures, in the harem, you count one, the queen counts one, and Xuan'er counts oneββ"
Speaking of Lan Ruoxuan, the Queen Mother's voice slowly became quieter and went first, Lan Guifei escaped from prison, this is a well-known thing in the palace, no matter how she said that she was so close to Lan Ruoxuan after all, the Queen Mother couldn't help but sigh.
Rong Guiren hung his head and did not talk. Lan Ruoxuan has escaped from prison now, to put it nicely, she is Lan Guifei, to put it mildly, now she is just a fugitive. No matter how much the Queen Mother thinks about it, this person has no ability to compete with herself.
"What the Queen Mother said," Rong Guiren nodded respectfully, listening to the Queen Mother's mouth.
"But you girl is also very rare, I thought you must be a frizzy character, but I never thought that you would be so calm." While tasting the dishes in her bowl, the Queen Mother praised Rong Guiren, and from time to time recommended the dishes on the table to Rong Guiren.
Seeing the Queen Mother's permission to herself, Rong Guiren was humble on the surface, but he was very proud in his heart, and continued: "What did the queen mother say, reciting Buddha can cultivate one's self-cultivation, when I was a child, I was not sensible, and my father often forced himself to be meticulous, but now that I have grown up, I like this feeling of peace of mind." β
Hearing this, the Queen Mother nodded approvingly, and was even more satisfied with what Rong Guiren said. These days, Rong Guiren has been going to his palace every day, although it is to ask for his own protection, but he also has a little sincerity, and he has quarreled with the Buddhist scriptures every day to enshrine in front of the Buddha, which is true and sincere, which makes the Queen Mother very satisfied.
"Rong Guiren is so hearted, I believe that General Yang will be taken care of by the Buddha at the border and return triumphantly." The Queen Mother nodded and said to Rong Gui.
Mama Meng lowered her hand and looked at everything in her eyes, and felt even more ashamed in her heart.
Suddenly, I heard a rush of shouts from outside the door: "The Queen Mother, the Queen Mother-"
The Queen Mother was feeding her mouth, when she heard a voice from outside, she frowned: "What's wrong?" β
"Oh no, no!" The voice of the person who came was even more hurried and abnormal, and with a pop, he knelt down in front of the Queen Mother: "The Queen Mother, the front of the Buddha Hall is on fire." β
"What?" Hearing the words of the visitor, the Queen Mother suddenly changed color: "What's the matter?" β
"The Empress Dowager Qi, the girl who just cleaned the Buddha's hall went in to clean up, but I don't know how to see the fire in the hall for no reason, and now everyone is doing their best to put out the fire."
The Queen Mother stood up suddenly, ignoring the half-eaten dinner on the table, and hurried towards the Buddha's hall.
I saw the skyrocketing fire from afar, and Kou Shu also rushed to the front of the Buddha Hall as soon as possible, and was directing the girls and eunuchs outside the hall to fight the fire one by one.
"Queen-" Seeing Kou Shu, the Queen Mother stepped forward and spoke.
"Queen Mother," Kou Shu turned her head: "When the concubine saw that the palace was on fire, she took it upon herself to come and command someone to put out the fire." β
The Queen Mother nodded, looking at the fire in front of her, she couldn't help frowning, and her expression was very solemn: "This is so dignified, so it will catch fire." β
Kou Shu shook her head, turned her head and glanced at the Rong Guiren who followed behind her, and couldn't help but be a little surprised: "Rong Guiren is also here?" β
Rong Guiren saluted Kou Shu, Kou Shu nodded slightly, it seems that this Rong Guiren has been very diligent in his dedication to the Queen Mother recently.
The fire in front of the Buddha's hall is even worse, there are many scriptures and other things that are easy to burn, and the main structure in the hall is also made of wood, only to see that the whole hall is now as if it is wrapped in a fire dragon, making a crackling explosion, like a roaring fire dragon roaring and roaring, a gust of wind blows, and everyone on the side feels that a wave of heat is coming towards them, making people unable to open their eyes.
"Queen Motherβ" Kou Shu said, "The fire here won't be better for a while, so the Queen Mother might as well go back to the palace to rest first." When the fire here is stabilized, the son will come to the palace to return to his mother. β
"Queen......" The Queen Mother turned her head to look at Kou Shu, nodded, and then looked at Rong Guiren's eyes, calmed down a little, and lost the eagerness just now, just said lightly: "Rong Guiren also stay with the queen to fight the fire." β
Rong Guiren pouted, he couldn't show his face in front of the Queen Mother, and he had to stay here to fight the fire, it was really not worth it, he flattened his mouth, and reluctantly agreed.
The fire lasted for a day and a night, and it was not completely extinguished until the evening of the second day, and the entire Buddha hall was burned to the core, leaving only a golden Buddha in the center of the main hall.
At this moment, Kou Shu sat on the main hall of Ningci Hall with his head down, in addition to himself, there were also the emperor, the queen mother, and the noble people, and a Taoist priest, with white hair, holding a blue-gray Buddha dust, fairy wind bones, and the appearance of a master outside the world.
"Dao Chief-" The Queen Mother's voice sounded first: "This Buddha Hall was suddenly burned, what is the reason for this?" β
The Queen Mother's words were euphemistic, but Chu Daochang understood, only to see him twist his hands lightly, compared an unfathomable gesture, squinted slightly, and after a while, said: "The Queen Mother don't worry, this is not a bad omen." β
The Queen Mother relaxed slightly, and then asked: "However, why did this Buddha Hall suddenly catch fire?" β
Chu Tianshi stood up, saluted the Queen Mother and the Emperor, and then said: "Back to the emperor, back to the Queen Mother, please let the poor Dao count a hexagram, you can know what the will of heaven is in this matter." β
"Okay, good-" The Queen Mother nodded hurriedly: "Master Chu Tianshi, hurry up and calculate a hexagram to see why." β
Kou Shu looked at Chu Tianshi in front of her with a smile, she couldn't pretend to be a ghost like this, but she was very curious about where this Chu Tianshi would point things to.
I saw Chu Tianshi take out a turtle shell from his arms, and gestured at the turtle shell that was occupied, and there were words in his mouth, as if he could really understand the idea.
After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, the Chu Heavenly Master slowly opened his eyes.
The Queen Mother said eagerly: "How is it, what did the Buddha say?" β
Chu Tianshi looked very embarrassed, and said to the Empress Dowager: "The Empress Dowager - I dare not speak falsely about this matter." β
The Queen Mother sank her face, changed her tone of command, and said, "It's okay, the mourning family forgives you for your innocence, Chu Tianshi just has to rest assured." β
Chu Tianshi lowered his head, a smug smile flashed on his lips very quickly, and then said: "Queen Mother, the Buddha said that it is because of the insincerity of the person who worships him that he will be punished. β
