said that Sima Chuxue and Sima Taijun, who left the scene first, turned around, and the smile on their faces faded.

Sima Chuxue held Taijun and slowly walked towards the courtyard arranged in the temple.

Sima Taijun glanced at the mother-in-law beside him, the mother-in-law was very clever, and immediately waved his hand, and the servants who followed behind slowed down.

The palace lady behind the queen was even more unscrupulous, and she fell far behind.

Taijun took Sima Chuxue around a rockery, and when no one could see it for the time being, she suddenly raised her hand and slapped the queen in the face, hitting her in the face.

Sima Chuxue let go of her hand and took a few steps away, only then did she brush away the broken hair that had slipped down, covered her face, and looked at Taijun indifferently.

Sima Taijun's eyes were sharp, as if he had been quenched with ice, and his flabby face was gloomy.

Neither of them spoke, but looked at each other without concessions.

After that, the mother-in-law next to Taijun came up, and Sima Taijun left first, not looking at Sima Chuxue from beginning to end.

"Niangniang," the personal Gong'e leaned slightly sideways, blocking the redness and swelling on Sima Chuxue's face, "The maid will help you go back." ”

Sima Chuxue nodded, turned around and went to his own small courtyard.

returned to the wing room, retreated from others, Sima Chuxue only left the palace by her side, she sat on the edge of the bed, expressionless.

The palace lady waited for her to spread her hair and changed her bedclothes, and then said comfortingly, "The maid and the maid apply the marks on the face, otherwise it will be difficult to explain if the saint comes." ”

At the mention of Xi Chaosheng, Sima Chuxue frowned, and the impatience in her eyes flashed, but she still nodded in agreement.

The two of them picked up for a long time, and even if Sima Chuxue didn't want to wait, he had to wait for the saint.

At the end of the day, the little eunuch on the sage's side hurriedly came to the ward, saying that the sage wanted to talk with Master Xuanming at night, so he didn't come.

In this way, Sima Chuxue was relieved, and after she went to the bed, the palace E extinguished all the candles in the room, and she went to the outer couch to spend the night.

Sima Chuxue has a habit, she doesn't like to sleep peacefully, there is still bright light in the room, otherwise she won't be able to sleep well all night.

In a vague way, she smelled a familiar sandalwood on the tip of her nose, with a faint quiet, which made her heart throb, and she wanted to open her eyes, but suddenly a pair of big hands blindfolded her.

She panicked, and heard a low murmur in her ears, "First snow......"

The murmur made her delicate body tremble, and then she felt extremely relieved, and her arms were wrapped around like snakes, and her thighs were bent, and they were rubbed.

Like a dream, the dim bed was full of gloomy and cold sandalwood, and even the rough monk's robe she touched seemed to be scorching, which could melt her whole in an instant.

Sima Chuxue closed her eyes tightly, the roots of her eyelashes soaked wet, her lips opened, she sighed, she only felt that this dream was too real, so that she didn't want to wake up, she was full of joy and indescribable lingering, so she kept shouting in a low voice, "Give up, give up......

The emotion of the third voice was still in the throat, and before it could be exhaled, Sima Chuxue only felt the darkness in front of him, and in an instant, the sky was bright, and everywhere was bright.

She blinked, and she couldn't come back to her senses for a long time, and she heard thunder and anger in her ears—

"My good queen, what are you doing here?"

The light tone and calm tone made Sima Chuxue fall into the Infernal Hell in an instant, and his whole body was cold.

"Saint......" she shouted unconsciously.

"Evil Barrier!" Another Hong Zhong screamed, as if he was a stick on the head, and those who could knock it were instantly stunned.

Sima Chuxue's pupils suddenly constricted, and she saw Master Xuanming standing beside the emperor, she followed his angry gaze, and found that on her bed, she was shrunk at the end of the bed, and each other was naked.

She couldn't react at all, and she didn't know how it all happened, she thought it was just an absurd dream.

"The queen and the little master of Deshe, aren't they also talking at night to discuss the scriptures?" Xi Chaosheng stood in the distance, looking at the two of them condescendingly, his face expressionless, and even his eyes were calm.

But it was such a calm that Sima Chuxue was afraid, she felt that he was indecisive and embarrassed by the emperor's responsibility, but now, she seemed to know that he could also be ruthless.

Almost in a flash of light, she understood what was going on.

She got up, picked up the clothes on the ground and put them on at will, pulled down the pale Deshe, and took the clothes to cover him in the same way.

After doing all this, she straightened her chest and looked up at Xi Chaosheng, "Just as the sage saw, the concubine has nothing to say." ”

Whether it was calculated or out of love, Sima Chuxue never regretted it.

Instead, he knelt down towards Master Xuanming, and said sadly, "Master, the disciple is indisputable if he violates the precepts, and he has a negative master, and if he has a negative background, please punish the master!" ”

Xi Chaosheng cut his hands on his back, he didn't move, Master Xuanming's face was pale, he squeezed the Buddhist beads in his hand tightly, glanced to the side after a while, and recited the Buddhist scriptures silently in his mouth.

Sima Chuxue's heart was sad, she went to Ladeshe, and shouted hysterically, "What are you kneeling for?" Get up, over the years, you have broken the vows more than once, and you can get through it with a single sentence, huh? ”

Deshe insisted on kneeling on the ground, hanging his head, and his clear face was full of despair at the end.

Xi Chaosheng closed his eyes and said, "I think this matter should also be known to Taijun." ”

Hearing this, Sima Chuxue stared at him suddenly, her lips squirming, but she still didn't say a word.

After a while, not only Sima Taijun came, but Xi Chaosheng also called Concubine Yu and Qin Shou together, and the small wing room was crowded with a room full of people.

Sima Chuxue only wore a middle coat, and she was also giving, but the people next to her were neatly dressed, such a stark contrast made people feel ashamed inexplicably.

Concubine Yu's face was very cold, although she didn't know what Qin Shou did tonight, but in front of so many people, she was arrested, and there was Master Xuanming who didn't speak, she wanted to see how Sima Chuxue ended.

However, she was always very uncomfortable, and she was also angry with the emperor's brother, so she took the lead in sneering, "The Sima family is good, and it is impossible to bring up such a shameless queen to come out, so that the face of the heavenly family will not be trampled on the ground?" ”

Sima Taijun's face was like frost, she stared at Sima Chuxue coldly, her lips were tightly pursed, and she didn't say a word.

Concubine Yu continued, "Such an ugly thing is more than enough to wipe out the Sima family to the Nine Clans!" ”

Mentioning the family, Sima Chuxue looked at Concubine Yu, and then saw her sneering, "What's the matter, the person the princess likes happens not to like you, so she holds a grudge against each other?" ”

After all, she is out of the way, everything tonight, even if it is nothing, she can't wash it away, not to mention that she has a beginning and end with Deshe, and she is fed up with Concubine Yu's pampering.

Concubine Yu smiled coldly, "No matter how this palace is, it still knows that people have living faces and living skins, but you don't dare to be like you, who has no face and no skin, no shame and no impatience, and even a bald monk will go down." ”

Hearing this, Sima Chuxue smiled lightly, she deliberately glanced at Qin Shou, and then said, "You are such a pampered princess that no one will really like her, how can you know what it is like not to envy mandarin ducks and only envy immortals, who do you say, this palace is like this today." ”

She broke the jar and broke it, and even the family didn't care about it.

Concubine Yu couldn't wait to give her two slaps, but Qin Shou hugged her shoulders suddenly, and said to Sima Chuxue with a rare smile on the corner of her mouth, "The queen's eyes are not good, not only do she not know people clearly, but she also doesn't know why, what does it mean that no one will really please the princess?" Isn't the queen a dead man in Kyushu? ”

The meaning of these words is very intriguing, and it is clear that what is not said is straightforward, but under the careful tasting, it is intriguing.

Xi Chaosheng was always disappointed in Sima Chuxue, and when he saw that she was still disrespectful to Concubine Yu, that disappointment instantly dissipated, and all of them turned into bubbling murderous anger.

He didn't look at her, and only said to Sima Taijun, "Taijun, how do you think this matter should be handled?" ”

Maybe she had expected it for a long time, or she was often worried that this would really tear the skin, but she was very calm.

She also thought about it early in the morning, and said, "It's not appropriate to make a noise, then find a reason to remove the queen's throne and die in fear of sin." ”

It's not sad, that's a lie, she must be the daughter of the Sima family who was pampered and raised, but over the years, because of a monk and the original entry into the palace, they have long been separated from each other, so she didn't want to think about it at all, so she chose to abandon the car to protect the handsome.

Sima Chuxue was shocked, she looked at Sima Taijun in a daze, and laughed forgetfully, "You are really willing, it was a time to insist on sending me into the palace regardless of my wishes, and today it is a disaster, in addition to these, what else can you not do?" ”

Sima Taijun Gujing Wubo, she held the cane with the entwined lotus pattern in both hands, and said word by word, "If you want to blame, blame you for not being born in the family of ordinary people, the family raised you, and you have to ask for something in return, otherwise, how can you enjoy the brocade clothes, wealth and honor with peace of mind, without paying a star and a half?" ”

This kind of truth, Concubine Yu also knows, it should be said that most of the noble ladies are as clear as a mirror in their hearts.

But Sima Chuxue didn't think so, and suppressed pain appeared on her face, "A little bit of a star? I have given more than a star to my family, my talent, my family, the people I love, and my long life......"

Sima Taijun didn't want to talk to her, so he waved his hand, said hello to the Xichaosheng Ward, and went outside to wait first.

Xi Chaosheng sat upright, his eyes were lowered and his hands were clasped, his face was sparse, he was a kind of elegant and handsome that was completely different from Qin Shou, and he had a natural nobility on his body, which made it easy for people to get close to.

"I don't bother you, you can decide on your own." He said to Sima Chuxue, as for giving up, he looked at Master Xuanming.

Master Xuanming twisted the Buddha's hand for a moment, and said with great difficulty, "Sheng, you are not allowed to enter the mountain gate again, and it has nothing to do with the temple; If you want to die, you will be the master. ”

Emperor Xi Chaosheng furrowed his brows, Xuan Ming also grasped the point that he was the least good at making decisions, and still had selfish intentions to spare his life, so he said so.

Concubine Yu glared at Xuan Ming, and with her identity, she didn't interject much.

Qin Shou said leisurely, "Sage, the minister has heard that there is a precept cliff in the mountain behind this Putuo Temple, which is dedicated to imprisoning Buddhist people who violate the precepts, and at the bottom of the cliff, some vicious traitors have been exiled, and the minister thinks that this is a good place." ”

Xuan Ming's eyes turned sharp, he lifted his eyelids and glanced at Qin Shou, but he still swallowed what he wanted to say.

Deshe knew the power of this precept cliff, he knelt down and climbed in front of Xuan Ming, and pleaded, "Master, the disciple knows that he is wrong, and the disciple knows that he is wrong......

As he spoke, seeing that no one pleaded with him, he actually raised his hand and pointed to Sima Chuxue, "She seduced the disciple, and the disciple has always remembered the rules and precepts, but she seduced her in every possible way, and from time to time she went up the mountain to disturb the disciple's cultivation......"

"Shut up!"

Xi Chaosheng and Sima Chuxue shouted at the same time!

Xi Chaosheng glanced at Sima Chuxue, and saw that her whole person was crumbling, her face was pale, and the little strength she had held at the beginning was no longer there, as if she had to give up a sentence that made her completely collapse.

"How can you say that about me? Why do you ......" Sima Chuxue looked at Deshe in a daze, as if she didn't understand, and as if she had never known him.

Xi Chaosheng is not too surprised, always in front of life and death, no matter how important it is, it can become insignificant.

He took the opportunity to say, "I will be detached in the precept cliff, and I will not be allowed to go out of the mountain gate in this life!" ”

This is the state of separating the sacrifice to death, Xuan Ming folded his hands, praised Amitabha Buddha, and responded.

The fate of Sima Chuxue and Deshe has been decided, Xi Chaosheng nodded at Concubine Yu, and the group went out, leaving only the eunuch next to him in the wing, and he had to watch Sima Chuxue break it with his own eyes.

In the courtyard, Sima Taijun was waiting early, and when she saw Xi Chaosheng coming out, she took the lead in speaking, "Sage, the old body has no way to teach, please ask the sage to punish the crime!" ”

As she spoke, she loosened her crutches and was about to kneel down with Xi Chaosheng.

Xi Chaosheng didn't help, and when he waited for her to kneel, he looked at her coldly, "Taijun, how do you think this crime should be cured?" ”

Sima Taijun was stunned for a moment, but the thoughts in her heart turned quickly, and in an instant, she suddenly understood what the emperor wanted.

Her heart suddenly became sad, it was the hopelessness of the end of the road, she knelt down deeply and said, "The Sima family has always been loyal to the saint, if the king wants the minister to die, the minister has to die, yes, it should be up to the saint to decide." ”

These words are to roast the entire Sima family on the fire, but in order to preserve the hope of the family, Sima Taijun has to do this.

Xi Chaosheng thought about it, took half a step forward, bent down and personally helped Sima Taijun up, "I never doubt the loyalty of the Sima family, I know that the Sima family will never let me down." ”

Sima Taijun nodded hurriedly, "The Sima family has gone through three dynasties, but it has caused today's ugly things, so the rules in the family are not strict, how to be a teacher?" Please also ask the saint for permission, the Sima family should pay tribute, but even if the Sima family no longer goes to court, it is still loyal to the saint. ”

The old lady is even more ruthless, she doesn't do anything, she simply wants to withdraw at this stormy juncture, endure it, and protect the family's roots.

But how can Xi Chaosheng be willing, the four major families, without the Sima family, who will hinder the Shangguan family, so he patted the old Taijun's hand and said, "Taijun don't panic, I understand, now that I am still with the crown next year, I have to be assisted by the Sima family, so how can there be no Sima in the court." ”

Taijun hesitated for a long time, there was an ugly thing like Sima Chuxue that was handled by the emperor, and she had no choice but to say whatever the emperor said.

It's always the family that survives, and it's easy to say no matter what.

At this time, the eunuch who watched Sima Chuxue swallow his last breath came out and whispered back in the emperor's ear, and Xi Chaosheng had an unbearable look on his face, "Taijun, bring the queen back." ”

For such a queen, he can't enter the imperial mausoleum, and he won't recognize it again.
