It's the beginning of another year.

Outside the Ganye Temple, there is still a bleak scene, the expression of the nun in Tsing Yi is numb, as if she is really not moved by the sorrows and joys of the world, and the Bodhisattva in the Buddha Hall is still that compassionate appearance, worshiped by incense and candles, tall but silent.

In a side room, the woman in the big sleeved shirt smeared her lips, and a golden phoenix hairpin was specially inserted on the black bun, she pushed away the palace maid's support, and the long skirt dragged on the cold gray bricks in the Buddhist temple, she stared at the apricot eyes, as if containing endless expectations, she saw that the abbot in front of the main hall seemed to be explaining affairs, she was not interested in caring about the abbot's words at all, and also ignored the eyes of the nuns who looked at her and seemed to be mocking or even schadenfreude, she raised her chin high, domineering but couldn't wait to ask-

"I heard that the King of Jin has welcomed the Holy Driver back to Beijing? Why didn't the abbot inform in time! ”

This woman is Chang Meiren, that is, the concubine who once monopolized the holy grace, He Shen was defeated, before He Er was placed under house arrest, she was relegated to the Ganye Temple "Si Guo", and then failed to leave this step, and then the Empress Dowager Wei fled east with the Son of Heaven, she was naturally forgotten in the Forbidden Garden, this Buddhist temple, once scolded the Empress Dowager Wei for being cowardly, but when the Turks captured Chang'an, Ashina Qisang stayed in Daming Palace, but she was so frightened that she knelt in front of the abbot and begged, hoping that the abbot could immediately shave for her and conceal her identity as the imperial concubine.

However, in the end, he was reluctant to have long hair, so he hid in the firewood room, delayed with luck, and wanted to cut his hair and continue to hide when he had to do so.

The abbot of Ganye Temple felt ridiculous at the time - this is the real thing!

But Chang Meiren's worries are superfluous, even Empress Dowager Wei can leave her behind, not to mention Qisang and Xie Ying, they don't know that there is such a favorite concubine of He Er living in the Ganye Temple in the Forbidden Garden, in fact, even if they know, they don't have to persecute her.

But when the King of Jin recovered Chang'an, Chang Meiren straightened her spine again, and she told the abbot: "Immediately inform the King of Jin that the palace is still in the Ganye Temple, and he should immediately welcome me into the palace." ”

The abbot of Ganye Temple is a palace person during the Dezong Dynasty, but he has never even seen the face of Emperor Dezong, let alone have any insightful vision, even so, he also realized that even if the Turkic barbarians have been expelled from Beijing, His Royal Highness the King of Jin will not be sincerely afraid of a beauty, but he is worried that if he returns to Beijing one day, maybe he will think of this favorite concubine, she does not dare to offend in death, and he agreed, and also thought of a way to ask, how do he know that the King of Jin did not enter the palace at all, and it is impossible to welcome back the beauty, so the abbot can only tell the truth.

Chang Meiren sneered at that time: "Even if he still has self-knowledge, then wait for King Jin to welcome the saint back to the palace." ”

From that day on, Chang Meiren began to command in the Ganye Temple, she originally had only two old servants left by her side, but she was able to make dozens of female nuns turn around, and suddenly disliked the incense that was not fragrant enough, and suddenly the food presented was really poor, as if she had been pardoned for many wrongs, and immediately asked the mother to be above the ten thousand people, not caring at all that she was being degraded to the Buddhist temple to think about the atonement, and she didn't notice the resentment and dissatisfaction of the nuns against her.

Ganye Temple is in the forbidden garden, whether the abbot or the nun are palace people, some of them are because they voluntarily cut their hair to worship the Buddha, but the vast majority of them are the female queen who became a monk after the death of the emperor, some of them even benefited from the emperor's favor, but unfortunately there are no heirs, and they have not been named the position of nine concubines, although their lives can only guard the ancient Buddha of the green light, but it is not that they have not seen the glory of the palace, and how can they be willing to obey the drive of the beauty?

In private, he has been secretly laughing at such a shallow person who once tried to emulate Empress Dowager Wei to gain power, but he may not be sure that Chang Meiren will have no chance to recover - after all, Chang's family did once favor the harem, although the Son of Heaven was under house arrest, but now His Royal Highness the King of Jin has recovered Chang'an, if he is willing to help the Son of Heaven regain power, the Son of Heaven and the King of Jin rule the world together, this Chang family may really be able to mother the world, if she is offended, the shallow person will definitely be repaid, then there will be endless suffering.

It was not until today that the nuns learned that Chang Meiren was unfortunate, seeing that she was still questioning the abbot with a noble posture, the nuns really felt funny in their hearts, and they didn't dare to laugh, staring at their toes silently, those who stood a little farther away, you pinch me and I hit you elbow, with such a small action to express schadenfreude.

The abbot was originally a devout Buddha, but Ganye Temple is such an environment, although she is accustomed to silence, but she has not cultivated to the realm of no hatred and forgetfulness, and she is not without complaining about the beauty of the people, and she can't help but want to be sarcastic.

"The poor nun has just received the edict and is preparing for the national funeral, but it is not time to inform the nobles...... Don't be impatient, the poor nun still remembers that the nobleman is still thinking about it in the Ganye Temple, and has reported to the internal officials earlier, presumably a little later, the palace will take back the nobles......" Her bad news of crying for the Daxing Emperor has not yet been spoken, but she heard Chang Meiren say.

"A national funeral? Could it be the death of the Queen Mother? I've finally made it this far! "I was very happy.

The abbot took a deep breath: "The noble man said carefully, the queen mother is here, and it is the holy dragon who returns to heaven." ”

Chang Meiren's smugness stiffened at the corners of her eyebrows and eyes, she slowly turned her neck and stared at the abbot: "What did you say?" ”

The abbot hurriedly knelt down, and the nuns also knelt on the ground with brushes, they faced the direction of the Zichen Palace, although they were full of grief, but they really did not feel sorry for the early death of the Son of Heaven, they once lived in the deep palace, witnessing the two emperors of Dezong and Renzong, but the mountains and rivers are as usual, the biggest difference for them is that they have changed from Gong'e to nun, the more bitter the life is, and the glory and wealth are forever, but there is no need to be so trembling and conscientious, worrying that there will be death overnight, and they are confused and lost in conspiracy and treachery, When you are accustomed to the green lantern and the wooden fish as your companion, you may still feel melancholy occasionally, but you don't feel so sad and tormented.

The collapse of He Er, the emperor, was far from the anxiety they felt when they heard about the fall of Chang'an and the invasion of Barbarians, worried that the day would be precarious and they would die of humiliation.

Only Chang's would feel that this bad news was a bolt from the blue, and her soul was scattered!

Because of the faint worry, it turned out to be a fact, she no longer has expectations, how many ambitions, how many plans, completely wiped out, her life has fallen into despair forever, of course she is unwilling, because she is still young and beautiful, and even conceited and wise, she once thought that she was destined to return, because she did get the love of the Ninety-Five, she was once only one step away from victory, she firmly believed that she would have more luck than Empress Dowager Wei, how could she be willing to collapse like this, and her life became a ruin.

What's more, she still really loves that man, her husband, the emperor of this country, they said that they would never abandon the white head and the elderly, and they said that they would be a couple for a lifetime, no matter how difficult it was, they also said that they would face it together, and they would never give up, how could he take one step first, how could he go so early, so caught off guard!

"This is the killing of the king!" Chang's fell step by step, thanks to the help of two palace maids, she did not sit on the ground, but she pushed the palace maid hard, staggered over, and tightened the abbot's collar, her eyes were round, and her expression was hideous: "It was the Empress Dowager Wei who killed the king, and it was the Jin King Ye who killed the king!" It is they who rebel, and they will not die well! The Holy One is murdered by them, and they can't let them go unpunished, otherwise the Holy One, the Holy One ......."

The incoherent woman, the woman whose heart is like ashes, was completely destroyed by unwillingness and grief at this time: "Only me, only I can avenge blood and hatred for the saint, only me, only I ......"

Suddenly, I heard a strange and familiar voice, as rigid as before, and even more powerful: "The beauty heard the bad news at first glance, and she lost her mind in grief, so she stepped back for the time being, and I comforted the beauty a few words." ”

Chang's took a long time to see clearly, the person who had changed into mourning clothes and Jing Hai, although she was thinner than before, but she would not forget that face, it was her half-sister, who had always suppressed her sister by relying on herself, although she had the dignity of a noble concubine but was snubbed and disgusted by the saint, and now she still poses as a concubine, and still looks down on her from above, and that poisonous face makes her unforgettable!

So the shriek was like an eagle, and the beauty's blood-red eyes were even more fierce than the charm: "Appeased? The third sister is afraid that she is complacent at this time! Do you think that without the protection of the Holy Lord, I can let you be humiliated from now on? Third sister, if my guess is correct, now that the throne has fallen into the hands of the King of Jin, and the King of Jin dares to kill the king, where will he respect you, the widow of the emperor? In the end, it is nothing more than another palace and a secluded garden, and you will be lonely and old! I can't die well, but I have more or less spoiled the harem, third sister, what do you have? Why do you flaunt your might before me, and why do you humiliate you with the posture of a victor? ”

The concubine was unmoved, her expression was still so calm, and when she was forced to look at the palace people and nuns, she slowly paced a few steps forward, looking at her sister with a hideous expression, and her eyes seemed to be in a trance for a moment: "I was jealous of you, and I never liked you, your biological mother is a concubine, but she has repeatedly disrespected my mother, you rely on your cleverness and ingenuity, and you are even more loved by your father, even your brother is more flamboyant than your eldest brother, but I never thought that the two of us were destined to serve a husband together, this is really wrong, the fate of the two of us, It's going to be entangled like this, fourth sister, in fact, what I really expect is to get rid of you, and there will be no intersection, if I can choose, I don't want to be this concubine, I have always hoped that after getting out of the cabinet and getting married, I will not get along with you for old age. ”

She raised her head again, looked at the compassionate Bodhisattva in the main hall, looked at it for a while, and closed her eyes again: "If you talk about talent, I am indeed inferior to you, just like I still can't figure out why King Jin will become the new king, but you obviously expected it, but you are so smart, how can you not know that the world has been turned upside down at this time, and even the Queen Mother has to back down in order to protect herself?" What you said just now is enough to plunge the Chang family into a catastrophe, I know that you hate me, hate my mother, and hate my brother, although your brother has been executed, but your mother is still alive, why don't you leave a way for her to live? And Father, he finally really loves you, can you bear to put him to death?! Fourth sister, the king of Jin did not kill the king, the saint died long before the king of Jin rushed to Luzhou, and the reason why the saint died early, fourth sister, you can't escape the blame! ”

The concubine suddenly opened her eyes and approached the beauty: "It's your conceited wisdom and scheming, underestimating the Queen Mother, you are separating the Queen Mother and the Holy Lord, and even forcing the Holy Lord and the King of Shu to have a dislike, you are in a hurry, so that the Queen Mother sees the Holy Lord as an obstacle, all of this is caused by you, and in today's situation, do you still want to drag the Chang family into hell before you give up?!" I won't sit idly by and watch you harm the family, fourth sister, now, I at least have the ability to die with you, how many grievances, so far, forget it! ”
