Chapter 544: The Golden Statue Weeps Blood
Isn't it his delusion?
Although Xia Qianwei still refused to reject him as before, Mu Longyuan clearly felt a different change.
When she gets along with him, she seems to be more natural, and the delicate nature of her daughter is inadvertently revealed between her eyebrows......
Does this mean that she has admitted to being attracted to him?
However, Xia Qianwei seemed to fall into a period of contemplation again, Mu Longyuan reluctantly put away that expectation, no matter what, it can be regarded as some progress, and one day he will definitely say it with this stubborn little mouth.
"And what are you going to do next?" This queen is not the kind of person who can take a step back and open the sky, and I am afraid that this incident has completely angered her.
Mu Longyuan didn't care about the queen going crazy at all, but he was afraid that she would really hurt Xia Qianwei if she went crazy.
Who knows, the girl in front of her came back to her senses and smiled meaningfully at him, Mu Longyuan's heart moved, could it be that this girl had any surprise to give him?
……
"Oh? yes, that kid is unlucky. ”
Jiang Xiuya's death reached the ears of the Queen Mother, but the old man who looked more and more kind had a slight smile on her face, and as soon as she raised her eyes, she saw Xia Qianwei coming slowly from not far away.
The Queen Mother smiled even deeper, "Child, you also went to the lotus pond just now, were you scared?" ”
Feeling her temptation, Xia Qianwei always looked well-behaved and docile, with a bit of sincere concern in her tone, "The five poisonous insects and ants are rampant, and the Queen Mother's palace should be inspected more inside and outside, but it's a pity that Miss Jiang is such a beautiful and wise person." ”
"Indeed, these five poisonous days are not peaceful, dormant for the entire winter and spring, and when they get the opportunity, they will come out to harm people, what a pity is not a pity, in the eyes of the mourning family, Miss Jiang is the same as every palace person, it is a life."
And life is not as precious as she imagined, in her eyes there is no distinction between high and low, only the difference between living and dead.
The Queen Mother's tone was slightly cold, how could anything that happened in the harem escape her eyes?
The queen really disappointed her, she already had supreme power, but she was not satisfied. How could everything in this world be as she wanted?
In this huge harem, there are only the weak and the strong, the winner and the loser, even if you are the queen, God will not treat her preferentially, when will the queen see this truth thoroughly?
The Queen Mother looked at Xia Qianwei again, this child is like the tender grass that grows in the sun and backbone, the queen thinks it will be easy to get rid of her, but she doesn't know that this wildfire can't burn the grass has enough power to overthrow the tree!
"Empress Dowager, the golden statue of Guanyin that the Queen Mother ordered to be built for the annual blessing festival has been completed."
The palace maid sent by the queen in front of her looked trembling, and when she appeared, the queen mother immediately sank her face.
She wanted to ask the mourners, is this prayer meeting going to be held as scheduled? Oh, it's like this every time, and it's really boring to always test the meaning of mourning by knocking on the side. ”
The Queen Mother's face was full of displeasure, remembering that she was the queen in the first place, all because she felt that she was delicate and steady, with a strong personality but not out of proportion, and could make up for His Majesty's weak temperament.
The palace maid in front of her didn't dare to say much, so she could only wait respectfully.
Until the Queen Mother sighed lightly, "That's it, she should make more Buddha statues and wash away the karma on her body." ”
Xia Qianwei's eyes in the corner moved slightly, the queen mother's heart was like a mirror, but she didn't blame her this time, the queen mother actually wanted to tell her that only the winner in this harem is right, and what she supports is the winning side.
The really terrifying person is actually the old man in front of him who has been watching the fire from the other side, and if you think about it carefully, she is not a pawn used by the Queen Mother to beat the queen.
It's just that it's not easy to be the chess piece that survives to the end, since the Queen Mother has made her position, then now you must know where her bottom line is.
……
The annual royal blessing ceremony is held at the altar in the palace.
Recently, Emperor Chen's dragon body was greatly damaged, and such a tragedy happened in the palace, and everyone's expressions in the square were extremely solemn, hoping that this prayer ceremony would be safe and smooth, and there would be no more murder.
The prince and his entourage failed to rush back in time, Emperor Chen was still recuperating, and the queen was in charge of the overall situation this year.
I saw that on the magnificent marble altar, hundreds of monks wearing red and yellow robes, around the huge golden statue of Guanyin that had been built for more than a few months, the Sanskrit sound like flowing water was endless, and the sound of the uniform wooden fish percussion washed the impetuousness and uneasiness in everyone's hearts like the decree of heaven.
The heavenly bell hanging high in the altar emitted a mighty bell like a flood of bells, enveloping the entire Chenguo Imperial Palace, and the palace people who could not enter the altar also stopped their work, folded their hands and closed their eyes lightly, looking at a pious scene.
At this time, the queen was dressed in a grand phoenix skirt, and the flying golden phoenix Zhuang on her head was heavy, she took the three-pillar heavenly incense from the hands of the monk and slowly stepped towards the golden furnace in the center, she should have looked at the sky and begged, but her eyes unconsciously fell on Xia Qianwei in the corner.
There was a dangerous edge in her eyes, and she only felt that this girl could really dare to follow the queen mother to rub such a sacred ceremony.
Last night, Xia Rouchun, the crown princess of Yunguo, sent someone to send a secret letter to the queen, saying that she wanted to continue to give her advice to get rid of Xia Qianwei.
Xia Rouchun believes that this prayer puja is an excellent opportunity, as long as she makes a little trick in the puja and colludes with the senior monks present to obstruct the smooth progress of the puja, and find the right time for the senior monks to push everything on Xia Qianwei.
Let's just say that there are demons present who have caused the Buddhas to be angry, how can the queen mother, who has always been in awe of Buddhism, not be moved?
After all, the concubine of the Xia family broke the ring on the five poisonous days to harm Emperor Chen, if it weren't for the protection of the Queen Mother, Xia Qianwei should have been punished for the same crime!
This repeated misfortune will definitely make Xia Qianwei unable to escape the catastrophe!
However, the queen did not adopt Xia Rouchun's method, because she knew how much the queen mother valued this festival.
During this time, the Queen Mother was dissatisfied with her a lot, if she couldn't hit with one blow, she would definitely anger the Queen Mother completely, and when the time came, she would shoot herself in the foot, and the Queen didn't want to take this risk!
But...... It won't be too long, the queen has already made up her mind, after the blessing ceremony, she will make Xia Qianwei pay a painful price to sacrifice her niece Xiuya's soul in the sky!
Thinking of this, the queen finally gathered her thoughts, inserted the heavenly incense in her hand into the furnace, and a solemn voice sounded, "The bell of the prosperous era rings, pray for the blessing of the five continents, the wind and rain are smooth, and the grains are abundant." ”
She made three great salutes to heaven, but after the salute was over, the chanting in her ears suddenly stopped, and the surroundings fell into an indescribable silence.
The queen looked at everyone's slightly stunned expressions suspiciously, and then her eyes fell on the queen mother.
I saw that the Queen Mother was supported by Xia Qianwei, looking up at the direction of the Guanyin statue behind her with a pale face, trembling lips and slumping to the ground without warning.
In an instant, there was a burst of exclamations from the eminent monks, "Guanyin crying blood?!" ”
