Chapter 233: The Emperor's Heart
'Knock knock-'
The crisp sound of the Bodhi Zi rosary sprinkled all over the ground and then bounced out one after another was particularly crisp and clear in the silent meditation room.
The prayer bead bracelet in the monk's hand broke, and the Bodhi bead rolled to the ground.
Xue Hainiang raised her eyes to look at him.
She thought that this monk really had no emotions and six desires, but from that handsome but widowed face, she couldn't see a trace of emotions that belonged to normal people, but at this moment, this glance really opened Xue Hainiang's eyes.
His paralyzed face was not cracked, only his sword eyebrows were slightly furrowed, his starry eyes narrowed, and the tip of his nose exhaled and inhaled with a dangerous aura.
Xue Hainiang rubbed her chin and wondered, thinking about it, the relationship between Xiao Guifei and this person must not be simple. Think about it, if it weren't for the outstanding relationship, how could this person have been dormant in the temple for more than ten years.
Nan Shuke raised her eyebrows and looked at the woman beside her, her head tilted, rubbing her chin in contemplation, under this bright and warm shimmer, it looked particularly soft and charming.
This was his intention to force the monks to tell the truth, but he did not want to make this girl take the lead.
But how did she know about it?
He asked himself based on his speculation about Nan Jiuxi's temperament, half guessing and half analyzing.
Now above the court, Nan Jiuxi intends to purge the deep-rooted family, among the family, the Ma family is the leader, followed by the Xiao family who helped Nan Jiuxi win the throne.
Now that the status of the Ma family is in jeopardy, the emperor has successively supported the Xue family, the Liu family, and the Song family to balance the power between the families.
Although Nan Jiuxi has not yet given birth to the thoughts of the Xiao family, Nan Shuke can figure out his character, this ruthless and resolute emperor, after the fall of the Ma family, it will be the Xiao family who will be uprooted.
The monk's eyes showed a cold look like a sharp blade, and he looked directly at Xue Hainiang, trying to see a flaw in her delicate face.
But in the end, it still didn't work out as he wanted.
"The Xiao family has made great contributions to the enthronement of today's saints...... In the past, the saint won the hearts of the people by virtue of the side concubine Xiao is queen's life, how could he destroy the trestle. ”
Xue Hainiang burst out laughing, and the delicate and smiling appearance of the jade face fell into the eyes of the monk, but it deepened the fear in his heart.
"You haven't heard the saying that the cunning rabbit is dead and the lackey cooks. Besides, isn't it in the hands of our emperor whether this Empress Xiao's destiny can be established in the end, he only needs a holy decree, and the Xiao family can become a human being, and he can also rely on a holy decree to knock the high-ranking Xiao family into the quagmire. ”
Looking at his tense face due to extreme forbearance and inhibition, Xue Hainiang added the last straw that crushed the camel.
"Or, do you think you know our emperor very well?"
The heart of the emperor, the people who serve around him, and the people who are next to the pillow are still difficult to figure out, not to mention the person in front of him who lives in a hidden temple and has never been masked in the life of Nan Jiuxi.
Looking at his increasingly anxious and frightened look, Xue Hainiang already had a rough idea of what he wanted and wanted in his heart.
Come to think of it, this Buddhist man is still six unclean, and his love has not been removed.
The monk's fingertips twitched fiercely.
Rao is now he closed his eyes tightly so that others could see the emotions in his eyes, but Xue Hainiang could still see the panic and panic in the depths of his pupils through his heavy eyelids.
Nan Shuke watched like an outsider from beginning to end as this young, seemingly bright woman cast a big net on the monks.
Watching the monks toss and turn, hesitating.
Eventually, the monk spoke.
There were still no fluctuations in his eyes, as if the broken Bodhi bracelet and the trembling fingertips were all hallucinations.
"Even if the emperor intends to get rid of the Xiao family, if he can't find a reason, the emperor will have to bear the stigma of ingratitude. ”
And their emperor has always attached great importance to reputation, which can be known from more than ten years ago, when he married Xiao Guifei, who had the life of the queen.
Xue Hainiang smiled earnestly, "Your Excellency, if our emperor wants to kill someone, can't he find a trumped-up charge?"
In the land of the Southern Dynasties, all the people of the Southern Dynasties were people. Among the people of the Southern Dynasty, only the emperor did not dare to kill, he could not kill, and there was no emperor who could not kill.
Although Nan Jiuxi dreamed of getting rid of Nan Shuke, Nan Shuke was quite famous in the court, and this person's great achievements were in the hearts of the people, and, as far as Xue Hainiang knew, Nan Shuke seemed to be holding an iron horse that was not known and controlled by the royal family, and the emperor was quite jealous, so he didn't dare to kill him.
However, the Xiao family has been passed down from generation to generation as civil ministers, and for many years they have formed a party in the court and run a private business, and there are many guests in the house, so as to strengthen the family.
Xue Hainiang still remembers that in the previous life, Nan Jiuxi used the favored Ma clan to crown Xiao Guifei with the crime of murdering the emperor's heir, and demoted Xiao Guifei from the title of concubine.
The monk seemed to have no secret of his concern for Concubine Xiao, and when he heard this, he immediately asked, "What are you doing with me, is it possible that you have a way to resolve this crisis of the Xiao family?"
Xue Hainiang was stunned, and the battle between heaven and man was in her mind.
She wondered if she had deceived the monk by some nonsense, or if she had told the monk the truth that she could not figure it out.
But if he told the truth, the monk probably wouldn't tell the truth.
I made up my mind to talk nonsense, but for some reason, the exit was: "I don't have a way." ”
She looked at the black and white eyes, and the only glimmer of light in them was gone.
The monk sneered, closed his eyes again, and said hatefully: "In this case, the poor monk has nothing to say to you. ”
The mouth was closed one by one, as if reading the scriptures.
Nan Shuke's smile was shallow, and his eyes were clear, "It's understandable that she can't do anything, but this king has." ”
The monk suddenly opened his eyes, looked at Nan Shuke, and looked at it for a long time before he said: "His Royal Highness King Qinghui, who has always been high and unruly, also likes to get involved in such mundane things?" ”
Obviously, he didn't believe that Nan Shuke would have a way, and even if he did, this person would never help him.
A person who is not interested in the position of the emperor will not be concerned about the things next to him, and a person who is so pure-hearted and has few desires is afraid that he is still more ruthless and desireless than people in Buddhism.
Nan Shuke's eyes were rolling, and there seemed to be a slight smile of wisdom oozing from his eyes, "This king is also a mortal person, how can he not be mixed with ordinary things?"
"What does Your Highness want. ”
The monk was obviously interested in Nan Shuke, and he opened his eyes to look at him, and his tone was a little more impatient than he had just been.
Xue Hainiang guessed that he might regard Nan Shuke as the last duckweed.
Nan Shuke was upright, "This king heard that Your Excellency has a deep friendship with Chenzhenren, and in the past, Your Excellency and Master also died to help Chenzhenren survive the catastrophe. That should be true, right?"
