Chapter 60: Sinning Yourself
Early in the morning of the second day, Emperor Yuan Jia seemed to have figured it out, and issued an edict in the court, and also ordered the queen to go to the temple on foot to ask for guilt.
The government and the opposition were in an uproar, and Mrs. Meng couldn't help but feel a little relieved while being surprised. And the party is very happy.
After all, even the saints are like this, so how should the Zhou family apologize?
Rao is no matter how unwilling Zhou is, the result is difficult to change. Zhou Fa felt shameless and stood in the court, and invited himself. And Zhou Shuzhan was not strict with his daughter, so he was demoted three levels in a row and went out of Beijing as an official. The Queen Mother also invited herself to pray at the Imperial Temple, and she was considered a half-monk.
No one could have imagined that such a huge family as the Zhou family would temporarily retire from the court in such a way.
This is the result of the 20 years of the first emperor and the present day to build on his own reputation.
In Zhou Lingwen, it is a crime to seduce the saint during the filial piety period, but after all, he is the emperor's heir, and under the persuasion of the queen, Emperor Yuan Jia still gave him the position of Zhaoyi, which is one level lower than the concubine promised by Emperor Yuan Jia before.
The people of Xirong will not succeed in trade, and they will also return to Xirong, and they will also have to leave, naturally Gu Lingxu.
But before he could do it again, he had to do two things first, one was to get rid of Qin Qinghong, and the other was to send Miao Duan back to Mingyue Nunnery.
Everything was as Qin Qinghong expected, compared to going away to Xichang and staying away from Wangjing, Miaoduan still wanted to stay in the nunnery.
Gu Lingxu also kept his promise and did not inform her of Miaoduan's identity.
Miao Duan looked at Gu Lingxu and saluted obediently.
"Have you thought about it, do you really want to live in Mingyue Nunnery for the rest of your life? If you repent now, you can return to the world. Or if you don't return to the vulgar, it's the same with me to Xichang, although it is not richer than Beijing, but it is stable in the end. Gu Lingxu confirmed to Miao Duan for the last time.
"Thank you Xiangchenghou for your kindness, but I grew up in Mingyue Nunnery, and this is my home. I don't want to go anywhere else. Miao Duan shook her head.
Gu Lingxu nodded, he wanted to take Miao Duan away, but it was because Wangjing was very chaotic, and although Xichang was located on the border, there were not so many complicated noble relationships. But he promised Qin Qinghong, and Miaoduan himself wanted to stay here, so he couldn't force it.
After all, he is here to help Miaoduan, but Miaoduan is not his.
"Actually, I've always wanted to ask you, why did you come to save me, Marquis Xiangcheng? Is it because of Qin Niangzi? "For no reason, why is Xiangchenghou so good to her?
When she was abducted by another group, the place where she lived was Qin Qinghong's Guizhuyuan. originally thought that Qin Qinghong and the group of people who abducted her were together. But then I heard about Gu Lingxu's alienation of Qin Qinghong, so I changed my mind.
When she stayed in the mansion of the Marquis of Xiangcheng, she was quite free, except for the main house of the Marquis of Xiangcheng, there was only one room where she was not allowed to go.
Although she had never entered that room, she had passed it several times, and had heard the beautiful singing and melodious sound of the piano by the woman.
Come to think of it, it's the Oiran lady who is famous in Beijing.
Although she didn't know what she had to do with that Qin Niangzi, if it wasn't Qin Niangzi, what could it be?
"Because...... Your father, I, Aye, have an old relationship with your father, and I rescued you in the past, and I wanted to take you to Xichang, but since you insist on entering the Buddha's door, I will not stop you. Gu Ling's words came to an abrupt end, he avoided the important and trivial, and did not answer whether it was related to Qin Qinghong, he looked at the carriage that opened a corner curtain, and couldn't help but sneer.
I don't dare to send it if I want to, I have to look at it secretly like this.
"My father?" Miao Duan frowned, she came to Mingyue Nunnery at the age of five, and she didn't have any impression of her parents at all, she smiled slightly, "No matter what, thank you Xiangchenghou." ”
"Don't you wonder who your father is?" Gu Lingxu originally thought that Miao Duan would ask more.
"Now the poor nun is an outsider, and he has nothing to worry about." The simple innocence of Miao Duan's smile.
Since the parents did not show up, there must be some reason. If the parents are no longer alive, then there is nothing to ask.
If her parents are still alive, what she is doing now is likely to implicate her own parents, so what is there to ask?
Moreover, Gu Lingxu did not deny her words, which shows that Qin Qinghong really has something to do with him. But for many days, Qin Qinghong has not come to see her, there must be a secret that she does not want to say. Why did she bother asking?
Whether it's relatives or old people, thinking about each other, it's good to help each other when they are in trouble, why bother to be self-righteous and make it difficult for others, isn't this in vain to increase trouble?
Gu Lingxu couldn't help but smile, she deserved to be a sister, even though because of her different experiences, one became decadent and sophisticated, and the other was bright and innocent, but the transparency in her bones was in the same vein.
Gu Lingxu looked at the carriage in the distance with some regret, but it was a pity that he couldn't make their sisters recognize each other.
"In that case, then you are so self-cherishing."
"Thank you." After speaking, the little nun walked towards the Mingyue Nunnery alone.
Gu Lingxu didn't rush to get on the car, he stood on the side of the carriage with his chest crossed, looked at the extremely gorgeous face under the curtain, and asked softly, "Are you really not going to take a look?" It's all sent here, so I'll go down for a trip. ”
"Isn't it appropriate for someone like me to go in?" It is ridiculous to say that prostitutes enter the Buddhist gate.
"My Buddha is merciful, and the sea is inclusive. Come down, just go to the temple to worship, not deliberately to see Miaoduan. Gu Ling raised his head in vain.
Qin Qinghong chuckled, "You made a fuss about my departure, and you won't let Dali Temple and King Kang's Mansion ask you for someone." If it weren't for the fact that you had identified the wounds on King Kang's corpse as the work of the Xijon people, Princess Kang would have gone to the palace to ask for your form. Don't think it's big enough? Now that I get out of your carriage and go to worship the Buddha, I'm afraid that you won't even think about living in peace before you leave. ”
Gu Lingxu helped her get rid of her nationality some time ago, which can be described as making a lot of noise, although the cause of King Kang's death has been found, but there is not the slightest evidence to prove that she has nothing to do with this matter. Dali Temple and King Kang's Mansion took turns to ask for someone, but this person was good, pretending to be stupid and stunned and saying that he was not in his mansion.
Without evidence, Dali Temple and King Kang's Mansion did not dare to rush to the Xiangcheng Marquis Mansion to get people. The scale of Mingyue Nunnery is not small, there are high-ranking officials and nobles from time to time, she is famous, and there are many people who recognize her. If she goes down and walks around and returns to his house, isn't this giving someone a handle for nothing?
"So what? Anyway, I'm going back to Xichang soon, and they won't really do anything to me? But you, if you don't look at it more, you may never see it again? Besides, you haven't dressed up today, just ordinary clothes, and most of the people in this Mingyue Nunnery are women, and no one recognizes you. And, what do you have that you can't see? Can't get out of the action yet? ”
