Chapter 40: Burying the Unclean Alive
There have been many things in the palace in the past few days, first there was a scandal in Daoping Nunnery, then Princess Kangping was stabbed, and now the Queen Mother is seriously ill.
The Queen Mother was unconscious, but the imperial doctor in the palace couldn't find anything unusual, and she didn't even dare to use the medicine stone.
The emperor was upset by this matter.
What the hell is going on, is it because he has been obsessed with the harem recently and neglected political affairs, is this a warning from God?
The emperor sat alone in the palace of Qinzheng, distraught.
"Your Majesty, the concubine is here. ”
Father-in-law Qian saw that the emperor was troubled, and thought that when Concubine Zhang Guifei came, the emperor would naturally be much better.
"The concubine is here, please let her in. ”
When the emperor heard that Concubine Zhang was coming, his brows stretched slightly.
This Zhang Guifei is the most favored, and I don't know what means she has used, she has been favored for so many years, and she has not faded for decades, and she is the favorite concubine of the dynasty, and she once overshadowed the limelight of the queen.
Other concubines, even if the queen wants to see the emperor, it is not easy.
"Your Majesty, the concubine knew that you were tired, so she personally cooked a bowl of Sydney white fungus porridge for you. ”
Zhang Guifei, with a wave of her hand, took the soup in the little girl's hand and brought it to the emperor in person.
"Aifei, thank you for your hard work, the soup you cooked, I am my favorite. ”
Zhang Guifei personally fed the emperor and finished the soup.
The emperor really liked her very much.
"Your Majesty, the concubines know that you are worried about the Queen Mother's illness, but you also have to take care of your health. ”
Zhang Guifei said timidly.
"Your Majesty, the concubine has an idea, I don't know if I want to talk about it. ”
Zhang Guifei helped the emperor pinch his shoulder.
"Aifei, what do you think, tell me quickly. ”
The emperor gently patted Concubine Zhang's hand.
"Your Majesty, you see that there are always accidents in the palace, and now the Queen Mother is not sick and awake, do you say that you should invite the monks of Yude Temple to come and see?"
Zhang Guifei knew that the emperor believed in gods and Buddhas the most, and now as long as he mentioned it, he would definitely invite the monks of the Yude Temple to come to the palace.
Sure enough, when the emperor heard her words, his eyes immediately became energetic.
"Yes, you are right, you should invite the monks to come to the palace to do a ritual. ”
The emperor's idea for Zhang Guifei is a hundred satisfied.
"Then I'll leave this matter to Concubine Ai. ”
Zhang Guifei got the emperor's permission and immediately went to invite Master Dingkun, a senior monk of Yude Temple.
As soon as Na Dingkun entered the palace, he was taken directly to the queen mother's palace.
Dingkun closed his eyes and was silent, and only said a word for a long time.
"There are unclean things in the temple of Toyowa. ”
"What, what unclean?"
Zhang Guifei immediately answered.
The emperor was shocked, when did there be something unclean in the palace, and he also entered the Fenghe Palace.
Dingkun stopped talking again, and looked left and right around the hall.
"Your Majesty, all this is because there is an unclean person who defiles the temple, and he will be punished by the gods and Buddhas, and this unclean person has approached the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother is also contaminated by this person's bad luck to fall unconscious. ”
As soon as Dingkun's words came out, everyone knew in their hearts who he was referring to.
"Oh, Your Majesty. Then, isn't that Princess Kangping?"
Zhang Guifei exclaimed.
When the emperor heard this, he was also displeased. It turned out that the woman had sneaked into the palace.
"Master, if this unclean person is punished, can the anger of the gods and Buddhas be appeased?"
The emperor has an idea in his heart, and he must punish her heavily.
"As long as the unclean person is found, buried alive, and a grand ritual is performed, then the wrath of the gods and Buddhas can be appeased. The Queen Mother will wake up. ”
"Come on, don't you do what the master says. ”
The emperor firmly believed in the master's words, and he immediately ordered someone to escort Princess Kangping back.
Soon, Toyowaden began to prepare things for the ceremony.
In order to ensure the safety of everyone in the palace, the emperor decided to ask Ling Yunyi to bring people to the palace to guard.
Ling Yunyi was happy, after listening to Ling Chuyu's words, he wanted to come to the palace to find out the truth of Concubine Zhang, but this palace was something that they could come in casually.
Now, with such a good opportunity, he must find evidence of Zhang Guifei's harm and save his sister out.
Ling Yunyi pretended to be on patrol, but in fact secretly monitored Zhang Guifei.
This Zhang Guifei seemed to know Master Na Dingkun, and Ling Yunyi saw that Zhang Guifei was secretly saying something to the master.
The master also gave Zhang Guifei something.
Zhang Guifei looked around, as if she was afraid of being known.
But because they were so far away, they couldn't hear anything, they couldn't see anything clearly.
Ling Yunyi felt strange, it is said that the concubines in the palace cannot leave the palace, it is impossible to know people outside the palace, but they must be familiar with each other.
Ling Yunyi felt that this Zhang Guifei was weird, but there was an emperor by his side, so it was difficult to start.
I had to start with that master, maybe he had something to do with Ling Chuyu's assassination.
"Your Majesty, everything is ready, we can start now. ”
The altar has been erected, and everything else needed has been prepared.
"Well, bring the unclean man up. ”
As soon as the emperor gave an order, someone carried Kang Ping, who had not recovered from his serious injuries, to the altar. As long as she is buried in Daoheian after the sacrifice, the resentment of the gods and Buddhas will be settled.
Poor Na Kangping was stabbed in the central vein with a sword in the chest, and he woke up just now, and he encountered this great disaster.
She was still kept in the dark, what the hell was going on, but now she was weak and blood stagnant, and she couldn't say a word.
Zhang Guifei saw that the ceremony was about to be completed, and she was secretly happy in her heart, as long as Kang Ping died, then there was no way to find out who did it, and Ling Chuyu would definitely die at that time.
Thinking of this, Zhang Guifei couldn't wait to immediately pull Kang Ping into the pit and bury him alive.
"Father, the son suddenly remembered something and wanted to ask the master. ”
Li Yanjing stepped forward and behaved with the unfinished ceremony.
The emperor was very angry when he saw him so reckless, "Jing'er, what's the matter with you, can't you wait for the ceremony to end and ask?"
"Father, this matter is related to my imperial grandmother's illness, and I must say it now. ”
Li Yanjing did not back down at all and continued.
"Then you can say it quickly, but you can't delay the auspicious time. ”
The emperor heard him say that it was related to the queen mother's phoenix body, so he gave him a chance to speak.
"Master I ask you, you said that it was because the princess who prayed for the blessing of the country was unclean that she would incur the resentment of the gods and Buddhas, so now that Princess Kangping is buried alive, and no one prays for the blessing of the country, does it mean that this cannot be appeased. ”
Li Yanjing thought in his heart that if Ling Chuyu was to die like this, it would be better to let her be the princess of Kangping.
In this way, at least her life can be saved.
"Leaving the king, when is it now, you don't want to make trouble for the emperor anymore, or let the master quickly dispose of this unclean person. ”
Zhang Guifei hurriedly spoke out to stop it.
"Father, this matter is serious, please think twice. ”
Li Yanjing tried his best to keep Ling Chuyu.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Master Zhen has arrived. ”
Father-in-law Qian reported to the emperor.
