Chapter 109: Darkness Chen Cang
Near noon, Yun Yao and Lu Yingquan finally arrived at the Temple of Mercy and Grace.
I don't know when Shen Che arranged this plan, in short, when they arrived at their destination, Master Baoxin, the abbot of Ci'en Temple, had already stood at the door with the disciples of Quan'en Temple to greet them.
This posture doesn't look like she's waiting for a sin concubine at all, it's clearly waiting for the most noble woman in Yiguo.
The wing rooms have already been arranged, and the rooms where Lu Yingquan and Yun Yao live are all arranged according to the layout of Linglong Pavilion, but they are worried that Lu Yingquan will not be used to living here.
The cushions on the bed were not the hard cushions that the monks were accustomed to, but were replaced with soft cushions filled with fine cotton and down.
As soon as she looked at this room, Lu Yingquan knew that she was not here to suffer at all, but just to live a good life in a different place. In the final analysis, Shen Che still cared about her in his heart.
"This place is called the Bamboo Pavilion, living in the deep forest of the Zen temple, only accompanied by the breeze and the moon, quiet and peaceful, no one disturbs. Master Baoxin brought Lu Yingquan to the room and said, "Madame can live here with peace of mind, and the disciples in the temple will not come to disturb Madame's tranquility." ”
"Thank you, Master. Lu Yingquan bowed to show his gratitude.
Soon, the crowd settled down. The forbidden army sent by Shen Che to escort Lu Yingquan did not go back, but scattered around the Zhuli Pavilion, blocking the entire Zhuli Pavilion and protecting the safety of Lu Yingquan.
And in the dark, Gu Chen is also dormant nearby, and if there is any wind and grass, he will appear.
Yun Yao asked Lu Yingquan to sit down, and sorted the things of the two of them by herself. Fortunately, the furnishings in this meditation room are the same as those of Linglong Pavilion, and Yun Yao doesn't need to spend extra effort to tidy up, just put it away.
It was already noon, and everyone was a little hungry after a morning of driving. Fortunately, the Ci'en Temple had already prepared the food, and a few monks carried the burden to the Zhuli Pavilion and distributed it to Lu Yingquan and Yun Yao, as well as the soldiers of the forbidden army.
Yun Yao has always acted cautiously, after the food was delivered, she first carefully checked whether it was poisonous and made sure that it was safe before letting the food be distributed.
"When I went to pick up the food just now, I saw that there is also a small kitchen in this bamboo restaurant, and when we go back, let's talk to the abbot master, let's make a fire and cook by ourselves. Yun Yao said while eating, "The temple is full of vegetarian dishes, you are pregnant, you can't not have any meat at all, this is not good for the child." ”
"It's all up to you. Lu Yingquan did not object at all, "In this Temple of Mercy and Grace, you are the only person I can trust, and you won't harm me anyway." ”
Yun Yao chuckled, only feeling that Lu Yingquan was really relieved, but her heart was like pressing a stone, heavy.
Because no matter how Shen Che copied the Linglong Pavilion, the Temple of Mercy and Grace was a completely strange place after all, except for each other, as well as Gu Chen, the others were all strangers. There are Empress Dowager Jiang's eyeliner, Jiang Yi's ears and eyes, and even the Empress Dowager Qin's meticulous work.
After eating, Yun Yao took out a pen and ink, and wrote a letter to the Empress Dowager Qin again in the handwriting of He Meiren.
Admiral Xin told Mrs. Han in childbirth, Shen Yan died in the full moon, Lu Yingquan fell out of favor and was expelled, and Jiang Yi was a standout, and then found a carrier pigeon and sent the letter to Ning Palace.
With this letter, Empress Dowager Qin's guard will definitely loosen, and then Yun Yao and Lu Yingquan will have a greater chance of getting out of control.
In this way, Lu Yingquan and Yun Yao lived in the secluded bamboo hall in the deep forest of Ci'en Temple, living a day of copying scriptures and reciting Buddha, and feeling the light of the Buddha in the chanting of the morning bell and dusk drums.
The days were peaceful and peaceful, no one disturbed him, and Lu Yingquan's fetal image gradually stabilized.
Half a month passed, and at the end of May, Shen Che came over secretly, and took Gu Qingming and Sisi with him.
Yun Yao suddenly saw Gu Qingming, she was ashamed and happy, and the beautiful scene of the two of them on the boat still appeared in her mind, and even she spoke with a hint of shyness.
"Yun Yao, you take Qingming around and take a look at the scenery of this Temple of Mercy and Grace. There are ingots and silk to serve. Shen Che said to Yun Yao, filling her with gratitude.
I have to say that Shen Che is indeed a person who is very good at winning people's hearts, he has such a bearing and such a mind to provide him with everything they want for the people he needs to woo.
For example, Yun Yao, gold and silver treasures, and high-ranking officials are just floating clouds for her, and only Gu Qingming can really touch her heart.
Shen Che wanted Yun Yao to be loyal and give advice to protect Lu Yingquan, so he brought Gu Qingming over, which was not only a gesture of goodwill, but also a gift, and it would not make people feel that this king was too unkind, and he would not feel that this king was too high.
Yun Yao and Gu Qingming left the meditation room and went to the trail to the back mountain.
The scenery of Ci'en Temple is also unique, from the bamboo pavilion, walk towards the back mountain, into the eyes are all lush bamboo forest, verdant, straight through.
In May, the bamboo forest looks more and more verdant under the sunlight, and the eyes are full of verdant and refreshing. The stretched bamboo leaves block out the slightly harsh sunlight, and the fine sunlight spreads through the gaps between the bamboo leaves, forming a mottled silhouette on the ground.
Yun Yao and Gu Qingming walked in this bamboo forest, stepping on gentle and delicate steps, slowly, quietly, quietly and peacefully, beautifully like a painting, which made people unbearable.
"It's so beautiful here. Walking and walking, Yun Yao suddenly sighed, "Actually, it's good to move out and live, I haven't seen such a beautiful scenery for a long time, and even the air in the palace is depressing." ”
"Since ancient times, how many people have squeezed their heads to drill into the palace, and only you have one mind to come out of it. Gu Qingming smiled lightly, "However, your temperament is still good, and the days in the palace are too wronged by you." ”
As he spoke, Gu Qingming slowed down slightly and landed behind Yun Yao. He took out a rosewood hairpin from his sleeve and gently inserted it into Yun Yao's hair.
Even though the movement was very slight, it was still noticed by Yun Yao, she touched it with her hands, and took off the wooden hairpin, but saw that the high-quality rosewood was polished very smooth, and there was an auspicious cloud carved at the end of the hairpin, which just matched her name.
"I'm ashamed to have known you for so long and never given you a decent gift. Gu Qingming smiled a little surprised, "This hairpin is not a valuable thing, it was carved by me when I was training in the barren mountains, so don't dislike it." ”
"How can I dislike the hairpin that the general gave me?" Yun Yao was full of joy and handed the hairpin to Gu Qingming, "Help me put it on again, okay?"
Gu Qingming took the wooden hairpin with a smile, took a few steps closer, raised his hand gently, and put the wooden hairpin on Yun Yao's hair, and suddenly a gust of wind blew, and there were bamboo leaves in the forest that swirled down and landed on Yun Yao's shoulder.
"Don't move. Gu Qingming whispered softly, picked off the bamboo leaf, and threw it on the ground.
Yun Yao's face was slightly red, the distance between her and Gu Qingming was too close, and she always felt that her heart was beating a little fast and she couldn't breathe.
So she suddenly turned around, took a deep breath, and said: "Let's go over there for a walk, there is a pavilion behind the bamboo forest, and there is a stone table in the pavilion, on which is the Zhenlong chess game set up by Master Baoxin, I have participated in it for many days, but I still can't understand it." You can help me take a look!"
Let's say it, Yun Yao pulled Gu Qingming forward with great interest, not realizing at all that she and Gu Qingming's ten-fingered hands were clasped.
Gu Qingming looked at the hands of the two of them clasped together, smiled, and with a slight force, he pulled Yun Yao tighter and walked towards the pavilion.
The so-called stealing half a day of leisure is probably this kind of scene. Maybe the country is not stable, maybe the troubled times are not peaceful, but they are just ordinary people in this world.
Yun Yao knew what it meant for her and Lu Yingquan to leave the palace, and she also knew that their future path would definitely be more difficult, so she could only seize the few opportunities in front of her, if she could stay with Gu Qingming for a few more moments, even if it was only for a moment, she would be satisfied.
Gu Qingming and Yun Yao stayed at the Zhenlong chess game for a long time, and they didn't return to the meditation room until Sisi came over and said it was time to eat.
The table in the side hall of the meditation room was already full of food, and after Shen Che helped Lu Yingquan to sit down, he beckoned Gu Qingming and Yun Yao to sit down as well, and even Sisi also sat on the table and ate with the masters.
This is a great honor for Sisi, she never dreamed that one day she would be able to dine at the same table with His Royal Highness King Yi, not to mention that there were Mrs. Lu, General Gu and Miss Yun Yao at this banquet.
Although Yun Yao looked like her on the surface, she was a palace maid, but Sisi knew in her heart that with His Royal Highness King Yi's respect for Yun Yao, Mrs. Lu's trust in Yun Yao, and the way General Gu looked at Yun Yao, she knew that Yun Yao was definitely not an ordinary person.
Even if she had known about it for a long time, it was even more certain today.
No one spoke, just ate in peace. After the meal, Shen Che instructed Sisi and Yuanbao to take these meals down, and then he called Gu Qingming and Yun Yao to discuss the plan in the room.
"In a little more than a month, I will leave Yiguo and go to the capital. Shen Che broke the silence and took the lead in speaking, then looked at Lu Yingquan's belly, "At that time, your belly will only be more than three months old, and it will not be obvious." ”
"When His Highness comes back from Ning Palace, it will be obvious. Lu Yingquan chuckled, "Empress Dowager Qin's fiftieth birthday, Your Highness should still prepare well." ”
"That's nature. Shen Che nodded, "This time I went to Ning Palace, not only to celebrate his birthday, but also to test the attitude of Ning Palace, as well as the reality of other vassal kings." ”
"The soldiers and horses of the barren mountain have been trained, and His Highness can send trusted henchmen to take over. Gu Qingming also spoke, "When His Highness comes back from Ning Palace, I'm afraid that the world will rise again." ”
"The people have been identified. Shen Che said, "Du Jiangheng, the son of General Dewey, is a rare talent, and the Du family is also loyal to this king and can be reused." After the king returns to the palace, let Du Jiangheng take over you, and you leave in advance to go to Haoguo to find out the truth. ”
"Hao Kingdom?" Yun Yao was a little surprised, "I heard that King Hao is the most leaky and the most difficult one to deal with among the other six sub-feudal kings, how did you think of starting with him?"
