Chapter 231, Blood Meridian
Shu Jin saw Ning Guiren again in the summer of the seventh year of Yongzheng, the summer heat was difficult to get rid of, the south was flooded, and the emperor had not entered the harem for a long time, but Shu Jin was idle.
In the early morning of this day, he went to Wanfang'an with Concubine Mao and asked the Queen Mother to be well, and then went to Ciyunpu to protect the incense. Shu Jin does not believe in Buddhism, but Concubine Mao has this belief, and she has three princesses under her knees, so she went up to pray for her daughter's health and happiness.
Shu Jin had nothing to do, so he went with her.
Ciyun Puhu is located on the north shore of Houhu Lake, with ancient trees towering and wisteria hanging frames, which are also cool and pleasant. Walk to the main hall of Guanyin outside the hall, but see a slender figure in the hall is kowtowing to worship, looking quite pious.
Walking into the hall, the woman got up in a hurry and curtsied towards Shu Jin and Concubine Mao: "I've seen Concubine Niangniang, Concubine Mao's Niangniang." β
Shu Jin looked at it fixedly, and couldn't help but be a little surprised: "Ning Guiren? β
I haven't seen him for a few months, this Ning nobleman is not only much more slender, but his face has returned to a fair and smooth appearance, which is a little more charming and charming than the original delicate and pretty.
Concubine Mao glanced at the three pillars of incense burning on the Buddha shrine, "What are you doing here?" "--If you don't have love, it's impossible to have a child, right?
Ning Guiren's delicate face showed a gloomy color: "Concubine...... I just came to pray for the eighth elder brother. β
Concubine Mao covered the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, but now she has a motherly heart! Unfortunately, it was too late.
Shu Jin also said lightly: "I have a heart." β
Ning Guiren's eyes turned red, and he said sadly: "The concubine knows that she is not worthy of saying this in front of the concubine." But the concubine really regretted it. The concubines can go to the eighth elder brother and cry every night......"
"Alright." Shu Jin was a little impatient, although Ning Guiren's appearance didn't seem to be fake, but Shu Jin was not interested in listening to this, "Eighth Elder Brother is under Concubine Dun's knees, it's okay." β
Ning Guiren couldn't help choking, sad and hateful, that was her child!! Even if she cries now, she will only be in Concubine Dun's arms, how heart-wrenching is this?!
Ning Guiren wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, "The concubine is at fault and should be punished." But Concubine Dun did evil, why was there no retribution? God is so unfair. β
What's the matter with God, the emperor has the final say in this palace, even if it is unfair, it is also the emperor's injustice.
"If you complain like this, can you get justice?" Shu Jin asked with a smile.
Ning Guiren's thin lips were clenched, "It's the concubine who is incompetent." So far, she has not been able to regain her favor, so she can only watch Concubine Dun occupy her flesh and bones, but it is difficult for her to even look at it!
Shu Jin let out a long breath, "You are now from Concubine Xi's palace, you don't have to say these words to this palace." β
Ning Guiren said with tears in her eyes: "The concubine knows that the mother has a valuable character, so she looks down on concubines and others. The concubine is ashamed of her mother. β
Saying that, Ning Guiren blessed his body, "The concubine retired." β
The beauty walked away with tears in her eyes, but Concubine Mao couldn't help but take a sip, "I don't know now that I regret it, it's too late!" β
Shu Jin smiled, "Okay, aren't you going to offer incense and pray for blessings!" β
Concubine Mao restrained her mean appearance, busy picking up her appearance, bowing repeatedly in front of the Buddha, praying, and finally enshrined her hand-copied Buddhist scriptures on the Buddhist shrine.
"Come and see, there's a Buddhist scripture here!" Concubine Mao also went to the Buddha shrine and found that there was a thick scripture behind the incense burner.
Shu Jin said: "Eighty percent was left by Ning Guiren. β
Concubine Mao picked it up with her hand, and opened it by herself, but it was good not to turn it over, and it was a piece of blood-red handwriting!! Concubine Mao was startled, and with a bang, the thick blood meridian fell to the ground.
Shu Jin also saw it so really, he couldn't help frowning, Ning Guiren actually copied the blood meridians?! He stepped forward to pick up the blood meridian and close it, and put it back in its place.
Concubine Mao patted her chest, "This Ning Guiren, did you deliberately scare the palace?" β
Shu Jin smiled: "People originally hid behind the incense burner, where did they expect you to be so sharp-eyed?" β
Concubine Mao's eyebrows sank, "I think she's a magic barrier!" What's the use of these things? Could it be that when the Bodhisattva sees it, he can call the eighth elder brother back to her? β
Shu Jin carefully stuffed the blood meridian into the back of the incense burner, "Don't pay attention to it." β
Concubine Mao turned her eyes around, "You say, if Concubine Dun knows......"
Shu Jin was speechless for a while, and came to this trick again?
However, it is also a good way to stimulate small rice cakes.
The little rice cake now regards the eighth brother as a fish's eyeball, and others can't take a second look. If she knew that Ning Guiren copied the Blood Sutra for the eighth elder brother to pray for blessings, I was afraid that Concubine Dun would not only not pity Ning Guiren's motherly heart, but also think that Ning Guiren was deliberately fighting each other.
"You can do it." Shu Jin smiled faintly.
Concubine Mao pursed her lips and smiled, "Leave this matter to me, and you just wait to see a good show." β
A few days later, there was gossip in the garden, saying that Ning Guiren copied the blood scriptures and secretly enshrined them in the main hall of Ciyun Puhu, which is said to impress the Bodhisattva and allow her to be close to the eighth elder brother.
It was about the eighth elder brother, and naturally it quickly spread to the ears of the little rice cake.
This kind of thing is completely ignored by normal people.
The Bodhisattva is just a clay sculpture, if he can really have such a skill, then the women in the harem don't need to compete for favor and please the emperor, just please the Bodhisattva.
But where can the little rice cake allow anyone to worry about the eighth elder brother? Immediately, he went straight to Ciyun Puhu in a huff, came to a big search, and turned the entire Ciyun Puhu upside down, only to find the tightly hidden blood meridian behind the incense burner.
The small rice cake was so angry that it was said to have been burned on the spot.
With such fanfare, it was immediately spread all over the harem.
For a while, there were rumors again, saying that Concubine Dun searched so much in front of the Bodhisattva and burned the Buddhist scriptures, which is a great disrespect to the Bodhisattva!
When Ning Guiren learned of this, it was said that he was very sad and fell ill directly.
I don't know if it's a real illness or a fake illness.
"Send a doctor to take a look at her." Shu Jin casually ordered while dealing with palace affairs.
In the evening, the imperial doctor gave a reply, this Ning Guiren was really sick, it is said that it is a loss of qi and blood, and both worry and anger, so he suddenly fell ill.
Oh, co-authoring is a lot of bloodletting.
Ning Guiren is already weak after giving birth, where can he afford the consumption of blood menstruation? It's just not taking physical health seriously.
Lan Ruo showed a contemplative look, "Niangniang, the slave looks, this Ning Guiren...... I'm afraid it's deliberate. β
Shu Jin smiled: "Intentionally or unintentionally, what's in the way with this palace?" "ββThe little rice cake is proud, and someone needs to jump out to check and balance. Since Ning Guiren is willing to spend blood, why should she push the boat along the water?
Aunt Lan Ruo wrinkled her eyebrows and said, "Ning Guiren looked at the delicate person, and he couldn't imagine that he could be so cruel to himself!" β
Those who are ruthless to themselves will only be more ruthless to others.
I just don't know if this trick was thought up by Ning Guiren himself, or taught by Concubine Xi.
Forget it, this doesn't matter.
The important thing is that Yongzheng believes in Buddhism, this trick ...... It will work.
