Chapter 70 - waves
In Puji Temple, the Buddha’s smoke curled up, and the sound of Zen did not dissipate.
The emperor sat on the straw futon, with a cup of tea in front of him, the fragrance rose along with the heat, hazy his face, restrained his momentum, and the elegance and calmness was really a bit of an outsider’s leisure and elegance.
Opposite him is the Master Xingzhen in a monk’s robe. His face is kind and peaceful. Surrounded by the lines of the years, his eyes are clear and bright, shining with exquisite and wise light.
“In the past every year today, His Majesty’s mood is not good, but this year is an exception.” Master Xingzhen smiled slowly.
The emperor smiled and shook his head: “The monks don’t get involved in the mortal world. You are really curious.”
“No,” Master Xingzhen clasped his hands together, “The poor monk is just a very ordinary greeting. It is Your Majesty’s self-indulgent action. No matter what the poor monk says, you will not be able to calm down.”
The emperor said helplessly: “Master Xingzhen has good eyes and ears, I can’t hide it from you.”
Master Xingzhen smiled without saying a word, with a peaceful smile, sitting across from him cleanly and indifferently, and recited, “Amitabha.”
The emperor couldn’t see his attitude of “I know, but if you don’t tell me, I don’t know”, he hesitated for a moment, but still sighed: “I met someone recently.”
I started with this sentence, but I don’t know how to say the rest.
But once the appearance of Bai Chu joking and playing in front of him appeared in his mind, the messed up thoughts unwittingly became clear and comfortable, he whispered, “I didn’t just know each other, last time, I was with you. Remember the little girl you met?”
“Oh?” Master Xingzhen recalled with some curiosity, but the emperor couldn’t wait any longer, and said, “As I said, it is rare that you are the world-famous Master Xingzhen.”
Master Xingzhen was silent for a moment, swearing with his clear Buddha heart, he was obviously mocking and teasing him.
The master, who was over fifty years old, twitched his eyebrows and raised a slowly tolerant and kind smile: “It turned out to be the female benefactor.”
“Your Majesty met her again today, so that’s why you feel so happy?”
Hearing the word “again”, the emperor frowned habitually. He had been in the palace for most of his life, and he didn’t believe in the so-called coincidence for a long time. Even if Master Xingzhen didn’t mean it, he still thought about it.
Then I thought it was funny, if someone in the world could grasp his whereabouts to such an extent, they wouldn’t have to wait for him to settle down before taking action.
The emperor lightly sipped the tea in front of him: “Maybe I’m really old, and it’s interesting to see her and talk.” He smiled and said softly, “She is a lovely child.”
Master Xingzhen’s gentle eyes showed some clarity, and whispered: “All appearances are false. If you see appearances that are not appearances, you will see the Tathagata.”
“Your Majesty’s determination is firm, and he is deeply concerned. It is beyond the reach of people. The poor monk is afraid. There is only one sentence. You just go with the current and you have a smooth path.”
The emperor held the teacup’s hand for a while, and looked over suspiciously: “Are you trying to persuade me to **** someone over?”
Master Xingzhen shook his head and said with a smile: “On the contrary, the poor monk is advising you to put it down. Sometimes, standing still, it is easy to breed obsessions. Your Majesty is wise and can understand the reason.”
The emperor stared at him for a while, then smiled for a while: “You monk, after so many years, you still look like this irritating person.” He drank the tea in the cup, and someone outside the house knocked gently on the door, “Come in.”
The person who came was Wei Jiu. He was the personal bodyguard who followed the emperor out of the palace today. He entered the door respectfully, and closed the door quietly. He walked briskly without making any sound during friction.
He leaned over to the emperor’s ear and said a few words quickly and lightly. In the next second, the smile on the emperor’s face gradually turned from thick to thin, and a serious coldness appeared between his sparse eyebrows, “How is she?”
Wei Jiu bowed his head and cupped his hands and said, “I noticed something strange at the foot of the mountain, and I was worried that it was an assassin who was in ambush to assassinate you. Although I didn’t dare to scare the snake, I sent someone to watch it carefully.
“I’m asking, is the third young lady of the Shen family safe?”
“This…” Wei Jiu was surprised that the sage actually cared about the safety of the Shen family’s daughters. If Mrs. Shen could justify it, she was Princess Duanmin’s mother-in-law after all. How can I come back to report without worrying about the old lady’s frame, but Mrs. San Shao?
He hesitated and replied, “I don’t know.” When he noticed the sage’s indifferent gaze, he shuddered and buried his head even lower, “However, as the minister ordered, it is necessary to protect the lives of the Shen family’s daughters, so the third young master of Shen Madam…should be safe.”
In just a few words, the cold sweat on his back wet his undershirt, sticking it sticky to his body.
“Should?” The emperor snorted coldly, and Wei Jiu knelt down in shock at the light voice. He knew that the sage was already angry.
A chilling light flashed across the emperor’s elegant and gentle face. He smiled and said goodbye to the true master. He lifted his robe and stood up. As soon as he walked out of the door, Wei Jiu’s words were slapped in the face by the person who came to answer: ” Your Majesty, there was a conflict between the Shen family and the group of bandits who came on the road. In the middle, Mrs. Shen’s carriage was injured by a horse and fled, and was introduced into the dense forest to find nowhere. The rest of the Shen family’s female relatives were all safe and sound.
The smile on the emperor’s face faded completely: “The horses are frightened? They broke into the jungle?”
The guard who answered the question shuddered for two inexplicable, although he felt the anger of the saint, but he didn’t understand where he was negligent.
Wei Jiu has come to understand at this moment, I am afraid that the woman who had just met Your Majesty by chance and had a good chat is probably the third young lady of the Shen family.
Before he had time to wonder why His Majesty was so close and familiar with the juniors of the eldest princess’ family, he was frightened by his own guess, and hurriedly said: “Why don’t you send someone to look for it! Don’t let the third young lady of the Shen family have any accidents! “
The little guard didn’t understand, didn’t he mean to protect the emperor? Why did you ask to find the third young lady of the Shen family again?
After hesitating for a few breaths, the emperor’s sharp and indifferent eyes were already shot: “What? Do you want me to invite you?”
“No, no, no, I dare not!” The poor little guard almost choked on his own saliva, and hurriedly bowed, “This minister will definitely keep the third young lady Shen safe, please rest assured.”
Seeing his figure quickly disappear from sight, the emperor’s hand hidden in his cuff gently twirled the emerald floating golden dragon on his left thumb. After a long time, he said coldly, “Wei Jiu.”
“The minister is here.”
“check!”
“Yes, the minister takes orders.”
…
When Bai Chu woke up again, he opened his eyes to see the familiar bed, blinked, and took a closer look, only to be sure that he really returned to the bed in Wutongyuan.
She was completely weak, and the slightest movement caused countless soreness, especially the forehead. She frowned slightly, stretched out her hand from the generous bedding with difficulty, and gently stroked the sore spot on her forehead.
Huh? Why are you still wrapping the cloth?
“Young madam!” Shuangxi, who was standing beside the bed, was half sleepy and half awake, and inadvertently saw Bai Chu open his eyes, his eyes widened, surprised and delighted, secretly pinched himself to be believed that this would happen. I’m not dreaming, “You finally woke up!”
This familiar scene, this familiar dialogue.
Bai Chu shook his head and thought that this was when he had just crossed over.
With the help of Shuangxi, she had difficulty drinking the water, and the warm fresh water was drawn between her dry lips and teeth, and the traces of warmth gradually spread to her limbs.
“We… how…” Bai Chu had a hard time speaking, and the sound from his dry throat was hoarse and weak.
Shuangxi knew what she was thinking, and while helping her twist the quilt, she said with a smile: “Young madam, you are really blessed, and I couldn’t wake up when I saw you at that time. Fortunately, thanks to the help of passing nobles, both I ordered my subordinates to send you to the carriage, and let the doctor accompanying you treat you.”
“Sigh, this accident is too scary. If it wasn’t for the timely arrival of the guards in Lanchuan, I might have met with great danger.”
Thinking of the gleaming appearance of those people, Shuangxi still couldn’t help trembling, and she was afraid, she patted her chest, “Young madam, after hearing the shocking horse, those people are still unwilling to give up their money, I almost hurt the old lady with her hands, but it was Miss Hu who protected the old lady and blocked the knife for the old lady, and finally made the old lady safe.”
“Oh?” Bai Chu rolled his eyes and smiled, “Now, isn’t Miss Hu the benefactor of our family?”
“Yeah,” Shuangxi nodded, “Miss Hu developed a high fever after being hit with the knife. The old lady not only kept her for several hours, but also said that when Miss Hu wakes up, she will be raised as a granddaughter. By my side, I can’t bear to let her leave with the second master.”
Bai Chu covered his lips and coughed twice: “What about Shen Rong?”
“Miss Rong?” Shuangxi was stunned for a moment, then frowned and thought for a moment, “I don’t know about this servant, Miss Hu is in a coma for the sake of the old lady’s life, and the whole house is in a hurry.”
“But Miss Rong should be fine, or else there will be no news.”
As he was talking, Shen Yuzhi carefully walked around the screen with the hot smoky soup medicine and walked into the inner room. He raised his eyes and saw Bai Chu leaning on the bed, straightening his upper body slightly. Although his face was pale, his bright eyes glowed brightly, smiling. Yingying looked over.
With a shake of his hand, brown concoction spilled out and splashed on his wrist. He didn’t care about getting hot, he hurried forward and put the medicine bowl on the table. Qing Jun’s face lit up.
“Chu Hua, how are you? Do you still have a headache?”
After realizing it, Bai Chu realized that the gauze was on his head, “I’m fine, except for the dizziness in my head, everything else is fine.”
There was a soft soothing in her smile, and Shen Yuzhi’s anxiety slowly calmed down in her eyes, turning into a gentle stream, and he let out a long sigh of relief: “Fortunately, you are all right.”
Shen Yuzhi hesitantly pulled her hand over to her palm, and a firm expression gradually appeared on her face: “Chu Hua, I will never let you encounter such danger again.” Recalling that Bai Chugang was sent back When his eyes were closed and he was pale and bloodless, his heart throbbed twice, densely packed, as if connecting the meridians of the whole body.
Bai Chu lowered his eyes and chuckled: “Did you ask Lanchuan to come to us?”
Speaking of this, Shen Yuzhi’s face showed a bit of a smile: “I’m always glad that Lan Chuan came to pick you up that day.” A little pink dizziness appeared on his white cheeks, “I haven’t seen you after the time has passed. You and grandmother are back, so…” He coughed, “I’m a little worried.”
He actually knew that Bai Chu didn’t like to be bored in the mansion. After hearing the news that she was going to Puji Temple with her grandmother, he waited restlessly until after lunch, and he hadn’t heard any news of her coming back.
Shen Yuzhi was vaguely worried that Bai Chu was greedy for the free time outside the mansion. Even if she knew that she would eventually return to the mansion, the anxiety and concern she had in her heart could not be eliminated. Name, sent Lianchuan over.
Fortunately, Lianchuan passed by.
Bai Chu smiled, his face was weak, only a little cinnabar mole at the end of his eyes set off Gu Pan’s circulation, which was the only one.
“Third brother, thank you.”
Shen Yu’s ears turned red, and she smiled involuntarily, the joy that bubbled up from her heart welled up, and it was clearly revealed through her stretched and happy face.
“Needless to say, we are husband and wife, aren’t we?”
