Chapter 361 Return to the Buddhist Temple
He stopped, and the steps under his feet seemed to be getting faster and faster. Mo Ziyao walked to the door and no longer went out. She stared at it until the bright yellow figure disappeared from sight.
After a while, a maid came in to serve her to freshen up. But she asked them to leave the basin and send the people out. Mu Qing came forward and took a cotton towel to come forward. Mo Ziyao waved her hand and motioned her to leave.
After all, Mu Qing was sent to Yuyao Palace. Mo Ziyao didn't know her yet. She was used to the service of Yunlan and others. Suddenly, the substitution would make her very uncomfortable. Seeing that Muqing just retreated, he said, "You can also go out. After combing, I will call you in to comb your hair." If it hadn't been for the injury on her arm, maybe she wouldn't have been asked to comb her hair.
Mu Qing was slightly stunned and had to nod and said, "Yes, when the mother is ready, I will come in again."
Mo Ziyao walked to the washbasin and looked at the reflection in the water and sighed. It seemed that it was time to send someone to bring Xiaoxiao back from Taifu's house, but everyone knew that she was dead and wanted her to go to the palace to follow her.
Yuzhi can't go to the surface. Late autumn went to the station with King Pingren, and Yunlan can't be trusted. So now the only thing she is familiar with and trust is Xiaoxiao who comes from Guxian Villa. She has suffered so much with herself, and now she is still bright.
After washing, she called Mu Qing in to comb her hair, and Mo Ziyao went out. Gan Lin was still outside. Seeing Mo Ziyao go out, she hurriedly greeted her and asked, "Where is the noble concubine going?"
Mo Ziyao said, "I will go to Tairen Palace to say hi to the Empress Dowager."
She thought that although Ruan Lingzheng said last night that he didn't have to go to Tairen Palace, he just wanted to suppress his injury. But last night, the assassin appeared in Tianze Palace, which gave himself a good excuse.
Doesn't even Mu Qing think that he was injured because of this?
Gan Lin hesitated and nodded and said, "The old slave asked someone to prepare a sedan chair for the noble concubine."
The sedan chair came soon. Mo Ziyao got on the sedan chair and closed her eyes with her back against the cushion. Soon after arriving at Tairen Palace, Mu Qing helped her get off the sedan chair. When she turned around, she actually saw Hui's sedan chair.
The Noble Concubine Hui also seemed to be coming to Tairen Palace. When she saw Mo Ziyao, she motioned the sedan chair man to speed up to catch up. When she got close, she said, "What a coincidence, I met Noble Concubine Yao here."
Mo Ziyao stopped and said with a faint smile, "What a coincidence. Hui Guifei came early today."
She narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at Mo Ziyao rudely. She seemed to find that Mo Ziyao was injured, and waved to let people get the sedan chair too close. She looked condescendingly and carefully, and her eyes flashed slightly.
Mo Ziyao was not afraid that she knew that she was injured yesterday, but she didn't want to talk to her more, so she continued to move forward. Just as Mo Ziyao was about to leave her, Noble Concubine Hui suddenly laughed and looked at her and said, "I heard that Noble Concubine Yao was injured in Tianze Palace last night? Oh, now you are so proud. The emperor can have fun with you at night.
Mo Ziyao said in a low voice, "I didn't expect you to be so busy that you could pay so rarely attention to every move of this palace." Isn't it? You have to be busy framing people while paying attention to yourself. How busy she is.
Hearing this, Hui Guifei's face changed, but she was not angry. She gritted her teeth and said, "Now that Xuefei is dead, I'm afraid you are more proud, right?"
Mo Ziyao looked at her quietly and opened her lips: "Are you unhappy?"
Hui Guifei hummed and gritted her teeth and said, "Xuefei..."
Mo Ziyao smiled softly. What do you hate now? Everyone is dead.
At this moment, having arrived at the gate of the palace, it is naturally impossible for Noble Concubine Hui to be arrogant enough to enter in a sedan chair, get off the sedan chair and walk in. Mo Ziyao didn't look at her. She walked straight ahead. After passing the front yard, she saw that many people had arrived first in the hall.
Entering, Mo Ziyao was a little disappointed when she disappeared from Jing Chongyi and Yunxianfei. Looking up and looking inside, he found Li Chongyi, who was close to Jing Chongyi. She looked pale and sat alone in the last corner. It seems that she did not feel sad and uncomfortable because of Jing Chongyi's death.
Many people were all chattering about something. When they saw Mo Ziyao and Hui Guifei entering, they were slightly surprised and hurriedly shut their mouths.
Mo Ziyao naturally ignored it. After looking for a seat and sitting for a while, she saw that it was too late. Everyone got up and saluted. Seeing that the Empress Dowager's face was pale, she held Lu'er's hand and sat down, and then said in a low voice, "Sit down."
She looked down and said after a long time, "You don't have to come to say good morning these days. My family is going to go to the Buddhist hall."
Everyone looked surprised, and Mo Ziyao was also surprised. Didn't Ruan Lingzheng tell her that he wanted to be the queen? Thinking about it, he couldn't help laughing at himself. There were so many things that he didn't even have time to sleep yesterday. He rushed to the court again before dawn. I'm afraid that he hasn't gone down yet. Where can he come to inform the Empress Dowager?
She doesn't know about it, so she can't deliberately avoid herself. But what is she going to do when she goes to the Buddhist hall at this time? Do you recite scriptures for Xuefei? Oh, although Xuefei was assassinated, how could the empress dowager do such a thing with her previous relationship? However, since the empress dowager spoke, the concubines could only obey.
Everyone got up, and Mo Ziyao naturally stroked her lower abdomen and said to herself that since the latter incident had not been announced, it would be more appropriate to postpone it in this extraordinary period. The Empress Dowager didn't know that everything happened. Anyway, except Ruan Lingzheng and Dr. Zhong, no one in the palace knew that she was pregnant. It's better to go back and discuss with Ruan Lingzheng before making a decision.
Mo Ziyao took a gentle breath before she got up. When she saw the Empress Dowager's eyes, she suddenly said, "Princes Yao, stay. I have something to ask you."
Mo Ziyao was about to open her mouth when she heard it and said suspiciously, "Well, what's wrong with the wound on your forehead?" After careful inspection, she found the wound on her arm again. She frowned slightly, "And her arm was also injured. What's the matter?"
When he was about to speak, he heard Mu Qing say, "Go back to the Empress Dowager, an assassin appeared in Tianze Palace yesterday. The assassin almost hurt the emperor. Fortunately, the noble concubine stood up and was stabbed." Her words are neither humble nor arrogant.
Mo Ziyao looked at her in shock. She thought that her injury was last night's assassin, but how could she say that? Just say that you have done a good job in saving!
Hui Guifei's face turned white with anger and said, "Yao Guifei is so brave!"
When it comes to this, what else can Mo Ziyao do? He smiled and said, "If you changed the noble concubine yesterday, you will also be desperate for the emperor."
The noble concubine Hui was so blocked that she couldn't speak. Hearing this, the queen said, "Is Yao's noble concubine seriously injured? You must have not slept well since yesterday, have you? With that, he waved his hand gently and said, "Actually, there is nothing important for my family. I just want the emperor to give his name to the little prince. This needs to be naturalized and registered as the emperor. What can you do without a name? The implication is that it is most appropriate for you, Yao, to be with the emperor all day long.
Mo Ziyao replied with a smile, "Don't worry, the emperor has given the little prince a name."
"Oh, what's the name?" The Empress Dowager sat up straight with an expectant face. She narrowed her eyes with a smile, swept away the previous haze, and asked eagerly.
"Ruan Ming'an." Mo Ziyao replied.
"Ming'an, okay, okay!" The Empress Dowager said three good things in a row, and she seemed to be very satisfied. Then he stood up and said to the crowd, "My family is going to the Buddha Temple to pray for the blessing of the little prince and the emperor. If it's okay, you can all go back."
The Empress Dowager has issued an expulsion order. How dare the concubines stay? Everyone got up and saluted and left. Mo Ziyao was slightly stunned and looked at the Empress Dowager. She knew that she had better not mention the canonization until it was confirmed with Ruan Lingzheng. What's more, not long ago, three concubines died in the harem, and there was also a chaotic situation in the court. They only answered and left with everyone.
Holding Mu Qing's hand and coming out, Mo Ziyao whispered, "How can you talk like that just now?"
Mu Qing whispered, "Are you angry? It's just that I think what a good promotion opportunity it is? Now that the emperor spoils the Empress, as long as he gives the emperor an excuse, it is time for the Empress to enter the throne.
carry? Oh, Mo Ziyao sneered and said, "At any moment now, the emperor will not enter the throne of this palace."
Mu Qing's face changed, and she hurriedly lowered her head and said, "I know I'm wrong."
Mo Ziyao didn't say a word, just walked forward, got on the sedan chair, and heard Mu Qing ask, "Mother, are you going to Tianze Palace or back to Yuyao Palace?"
Mo Ziyao was stunned. Yes, where should I go now?
When I wanted to open my mouth, I heard a humane outside: "Your Concubine, Your Concubine Yao..."
Mo Ziyao raised the curtain of the sedan chair. Seeing that it was Euke Li beside the Empress Dowager, she frowned and said, "What's wrong with you?"
Eunuch Li ran forward and said, "Please stay. The empress dowager said that she was very satisfied with the Empress Dowager's plagiarized Buddhist scriptures. She also said that she was pious when she copied the Buddhist scriptures, so she asked me to come. Please go to the Buddhist temple first and help the empress dowager copy the Buddhist scriptures."
Mo Ziyao was shocked and couldn't help but remember the scene of helping the Empress Dowager copy the Buddhist scriptures two years ago. While thinking about it, Grandpa Li said again, "Mother, please get off the sedan chair."
Mo Ziyao took a look at Mu Qing and said, "You go back first..." After a pause, she finally said, "Go back to Tianze Palace."
Mu Qing was also at a loss. It took him a long time to react and nodded quickly, "Yes, I know."
"Your concubine, please." Grandpa Li led the way ahead.
Mo Ziyao hesitated and followed his footsteps. Why did the Empress Dowager suddenly ask herself to copy Buddhist scriptures at this time? My heart moved. Maybe copying the Buddhist scriptures is just an excuse. The Empress Dowager has something to say to herself. It must be like this. Following Eung Li, her thoughts turned quickly.
After Euke Li took Mo Ziyao to the Li Buddhist Temple, he left her alone. When he went out, he said, "The noble concubine wait here first."
Mo Ziyao walked into the room and went straight to the Buddhist hall with Manjushri Bodhisattva. At a glance, she saw that there were only two futons in front of the Buddha statue, but on the low table beside her, she did not see the four treasures of the study.
In this way, she felt more and more that the Empress Dowager had something important to say to herself by letting her come here.
In the room, several boxes of incense are lit, and the windows are closed. The smell of aroma inside is a little strong, but it is not annoying. After standing for a long time, it is said that the Buddhist scriptures can make people meticulous, but Mo Ziyao feels that standing here alone can calm down.
After thinking about it, she knelt on the futon and looked at the wooden fish in front of her. She hesitated and reached out to get it. She was about to knock down and heard someone's footsteps coming. I couldn't help but put down the things in my hand. When I turned around, I saw the Empress Dowager come in alone.
He got up quickly and said to her, "My concubine, see the empress dowager."
The Empress Dowager answered and came forward and said, "Don't be polite. You are so smart. You should know why your family is looking for you."
