Chapter 52: The Bandit Enters the Nunnery

Early the next morning, a carriage was waiting in front of the General's Palace.

When Shen Lingyu took Mona to the front yard, he saw Ye Wanran standing at the door with an awe-inspiring expression, smiling with her eyes.

"Let the second sister-in-law wait for a long time."

Ye Wanran said impatiently: "It's good that you come, from the city to Qingxin Nunnery, you have to walk for two hours, you set off early, and you can save yourself the hard work of rushing at noon when the sun is poisoning." ”

It is rare that Ye Wanran is obedient in two sentences.

Shen Lingyu didn't bother to play tricks with her, so she took Mona and set off directly in the car.

As the carriage reached the city gate, it suddenly heard the sound of galloping horses' hooves outside.

Mona lifted the curtain curiously, just in time for Shen Lingyu to see Xie Yunzhou's figure.

Looking at each other, Xie Yunzhou showed an unfathomable smile at her.

Shen Lingyu frowned when she saw this, and asked Mona to put down the curtain and sit down.

The man was in a hurry, as if he were going out of the city to do something urgent.

But what does he mean by laughing just now, isn't it that Zhu Wei told him everything that happened yesterday?

Realizing this, Shen Lingyu couldn't help but feel a little weak.

But on second thought, she had nothing to fear.

The person who did the wrong thing was the county lord of Yining, and it was not too much to pit her with Ye Wanran's hand to make some money.

Shen Lingyu pursed his lips, leaned on the carriage and closed his eyes again.

The carriage swayed for two hours, and finally arrived at the Qingshin Temple at noon.

When he got off the bus, Shen Lingyu saw a woman wearing Zen clothes standing in front of the nunnery, wearing a cyan nun hat on her head, although she did not apply powder on her face, her facial features were elegant and beautiful, and she had the beauty of years of precipitation.

This is the eldest lady of the General's Mansion, Liu Lianyi.

has been in the house for more than half a year, and this is the second time Shen Lingyu has seen her.

The first time they met, it was on the day she first entered the house, when the sister-in-law had not yet left home, and the whole house was happy in the happy hall.

I didn't think that in just half a year, such a big change happened.

Shen Lingyu walked in front of Liu Lianyi, with a shallow smile on his face.

"Sister-in-law, you've been waiting for a long time."

Liu Lianyi clasped her hands together and shook her head, then led her in, and asked about the current situation in the house as she walked.

Shen Lingyu knew everything, said everything, and also mentioned Pei Xiuci.

"Originally, I wanted to bring Xiuci with me, but the second sister-in-law said that she was going to the school, so she ......"

"Even if she has nothing to do, she won't come, I understand the girl's temperament, although I have no desires and no desires, but she is still young, and the things she wants in her heart are different from mine, how can she stay here and eat fasting and chanting Buddha with me."

Liu Lianyi took over the words with a calm face, but her tone seemed a little detached, as if she had never given birth to Pei Xiuci.

But Shen Lingyu knew in her heart that she had been trapped in the bad news that her eldest brother had died in battle and did not come out.

On the surface, she seems to be calm and doesn't care about anything, but in fact, she is more bitter than anyone else.

After all, she and her eldest brother have a deep relationship with each other, and after so many years of relationship, how can it be said that you can let go of it.

Shen Lingyu sighed silently in his heart, and when he was depressed, he went to the meditation room in the backyard with Liu Lianyi.

Seishin-an is not very large, and it has had a period of prosperity in the past.

About forty years ago, when the emperor was still alive, he married an extremely powerful queen, and his power and political strategy were far from losing to men.

However, the first emperor had a weak temperament, so the first queen followed the example of her predecessors and opened a ten-year curtain to listen to the government.

The ministers of the DPRK and China were dissatisfied, feeling that she was a woman who interfered in the affairs of the court and violated the orthodoxy of the imperial family.

But when the first queen was in power, she did a lot of good things for the benefit of the country and the people.

Over time, no one dared to say anything, and even bowed down and called her the Queen of Heaven.

During that time, Sheng Jing could be said to be the queen of heaven alone.

Even though she gave birth to four sons and one daughter, she did not intend to let the former emperor pass on the throne to her son, but planned to ascend the throne as the empress herself.

Although the emperor was weak, he did not reach the point of confusion.

He can tolerate his wife climbing on his head and scattering wild, but he will never allow the country that his ancestors fought so hard to fall into the hands of a woman.

So during that time, the first emperor and the queen of heaven had an extremely fierce quarrel.

It didn't take long for a thousand-year-old ginkgo tree in the Qingxin Nunnery to bloom two months ahead of schedule, and the words "The Queen of Heaven is in power, prosperous for ten thousand years" was written on the trunk.

The Empress of Heaven then took this as an article, saying that her ascension to the throne was the destiny of heaven, and if anyone dared to stop it, it would be the destruction of Dongsheng.

Although the emperor had doubts about this, he still compromised for the sake of the stability of the country.

The Seishin-an is also famous for this thousand-year-old ginkgo tree, and even became a royal temple when the Empress of Heaven was in power.

However, this pomp and circumstance lasted only two years before it declined.

In the third year of the reign of the Empress of Heaven, because the emperor was seriously ill, she was unwilling to be lonely, so she sent people to find beautiful men to pet in the harem.

Unexpectedly, her favorite one was the assassin sent by the emperor.

When the Empress let her guard down, the Assassin did not hesitate to stab the Empress with a single sword.

After the death of the Empress of Heaven, the government returned to royal orthodoxy.

However, the health of the former emperor deteriorated day by day, and the four princes born to the empress began a fierce struggle for imperial power.

In the end, the current saint narrowly prevailed and successfully ascended the throne as emperor.

And the Qingxin Nunnery has also declined with the death of the Heavenly Empress, and now it is not even as good as an ordinary temple, and there is not even a single pilgrim to be seen on weekdays.

But there's nothing wrong with that, no one disturbs you, and it looks quiet and quiet, which is just right for practice.

After Shen Lingyu entered the meditation room, he and Mona simply packed the luggage they brought.

After a brief lunch and a short rest, she took Mona out again.

There were very few nuns in the Qingxin Nunnery, and from the backyard to the front yard, Shen Lingyu only saw two or three cleaning, which was really cold.

Turning a corner, I went to the backyard of the west wind, and it was the place where the ginkgo tree that conveyed the mandate of heaven grew back then.

I heard that after the death of the Empress of Heaven, the emperor deliberately cut down the ginkgo tree, but he dreamed that there were demons around the bed that night, and the emperor was so frightened that he had to dispel the idea.

After another twenty or thirty years of growth, the tree had grown so tall that its thick branches covered the entire courtyard.

Shen Lingyu slowly paced to the bottom of the tree, and just wanted to look up, but Leng Buding was hit in the head by a ginkgo fruit, and a slightly vicissitudes of sound came from the top of his head.

"Girl, watch your feet, don't trample my fruit!"

Shen Lingyu raised his head when he heard the sound, and saw a white-haired old lady standing on a tall branch, and she was very frightened.

"Old man, come down quickly, it's dangerous to climb so high!"

The old lady smiled and said, "Don't get in the way, my legs and feet are very tough!" ”

Shen Lingyu could not rest assured, and hurriedly ordered Mona to go up and help.

Unexpectedly, Mona had just flown up the tree, and suddenly there was a noisy panic outside the courtyard.

"Run, the thieves have entered the nunnery and robbed it!"
