Chapter 248
Chapter 248
The Empress Dowager of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Xie family, has always been a Buddhist in the original text, a true Buddhist, worshiping Buddha all day long, and spending most of her time in the small Buddhist hall of Renshou Palace.After Chu Lishu's revenge succeeded, he did not attack her. Until later, Chu Lishu's tyrant behavior became more and more cruel, crazy, and senseless.The queen mother came out to persuade, but instead angered Chu Lishu, who was already bloodthirsty, and was given death.
So the current Chu Lishu actually has no resentment or affection for the Queen Mother.She is more like a background board.
The Buddha statue that Ning Ziheng mentioned should be in the small Buddhist hall.
Because it is related to the secret of the prophecy, it is inconvenient to hand it over to outsiders, so the two of them can only make a trip in person.
Entering the small Buddhist hall, Lin Qingyang turned around and looked at the brightly lit Buddhist hall in astonishment. Except for a huge Buddha statue, there were various small Buddha statues on the altar table. Among them, the one Ning Ziheng mentioned Lin Qingyang was shocked that there were more than 30 kinds of Buddha statues.
"The empress dowager's Buddha heart is too heavy."
Fortunately, the queen mother usually doesn't like outsiders entering the small Buddhist hall. After the two sneak in, as long as the queen mother doesn't come back, both of them can look for it with peace of mind.
Lin Qingyang picked up a Buddha statue and shook it by his ear, observed it carefully, then put it down, and couldn't help but said while searching: "I've heard of people who believe in Buddhism, but it's the first time I've seen such a sincere one. It's a Buddhist temple."
While looking for it, Chu Lishu said, "Speaking of which, it might be because of me."
Lin Qingyang asked suspiciously: "What do you say? Are you praying for you?"
"That's not true." Chu Lishu shook his head, the firelight reflected on his face, and he looked a little sad, "Have you heard about the Xie family?"
Lin Qingyang froze for a moment, then nodded.Speaking of it, it was probably because Chu Lishu persuaded the first emperor when he was still young, and used thunderous means to sanction the Xie family who had risen in a short period of time. The decisive move of disregarding kinship and righteously destroying relatives was still given to the other three. The clan has left a psychological shadow. How could they not be afraid of a prince who dared to exterminate his grandmother's family.
"Actually, she didn't believe in Buddhism at all. She is a very wise, courageous, and resourceful woman. Both Grandpa and Father have been assisted by her, so that Dazhou can develop smoothly, especially Father. There are indeed no emperors. Thanks to the empress dowager, she was able to stabilize the turmoil in the court when he succeeded to the throne. However, she was still confused about her relationship and was coaxed by Xie's family. In the territory of the Xie family, the people are already in dire straits, and there are many mourners. If the Xie family does not kill the people, it is not enough for the common people to be angry. The queen mother was also implicated and held accountable. In the end, all the Xie family except Xie Yiqing and the queen mother were beheaded. The power in the hands of the queen mother All of them were returned to the royal father. Xie’s family has more than a hundred lives, which made the queen mother feel uncomfortable, so she began to devote herself to the Buddha, ignored the outside world, and completely alienated me and the royal father. I think she blamed us for being cruel. .”
Lin Qingyang hurriedly said: "You did nothing wrong."
Chu Lishu smiled, "I know, but before my accident, she didn't worship Buddha as much as she does now. It's also the first time I've entered this Buddhist hall. I didn't expect it to be so exaggerated...I found it."
Lin Qingyang was taken aback, and said in surprise: "So fast?"
Sure enough, Chu Lishu took out a rolled-up note from it, the paper was already yellowed, Chu Lishu put down the Buddha statue, his face gradually became serious, with a deft movement of his slender fingers, the note stretched out, Lin Qingyang was nervous Lin Qingyang leaned forward to look at it, but was immediately discouraged. To Lin Qingyang, the words on it were ghost symbols, and he couldn't understand them at all.
"what is this?"
"A minority language." Chu Li wrote.
Lin Qingyang looked at Chu Lishu's expression almost unchanged, and asked in surprise: "Can't you understand it too?"
Chu Lishu smiled helplessly and said, "So I'm so powerful in your heart that I know everything?"
"Of course." Lin Qingyang said unequivocally.
Chu Lishu was stunned for a moment, his cheeks flushed slightly, "Okay, I will learn it in the future, and try to understand it all. I have indeed seen this text, but it has been lost, so I will not learn it. Maybe Mr. Cao will know." Chu Lishu There is one more thing that Li Shu didn't say, the reason why he knew each other was because...he had met with his master.
In fact, the prophecy does not have much influence on what Chu Lishu is going to do and the future he is going to go, just like there is no prophecy in the original text, but since there is a chance, he still wants to investigate clearly.
After Chu Li finished speaking, he found the paper and pen, and began to copy it. After the copy was perfect, the two of them began to restore everything.
But when he was about to leave, the emperor suddenly came to Renshou Palace.The sudden arrival of the emperor brought a large number of guards, which disrupted the plans of the two of them, so they could only stay in the Buddhist hall temporarily.
The Empress Dowager was not there, and the Emperor did not leave, instead, he seemed to be going into the Buddhist hall.
There was almost no shelter in the Buddhist hall, and it was impossible for the two of them to stay here and wait to be caught by the emperor. The situation was urgent, and the two had no choice but to escape without hesitation.
The moment the emperor came in, he knocked down the shelf full of Buddha statues, which instantly disturbed everyone and attracted everyone's attention. The guards all gathered towards the emperor, and the space outside the window was vacated, and the two quickly escaped through the window.
It was impossible to go back the same way. There were guards on that road, so Chu Lishu pulled Lin Qingyang and ran directly to another road.
When they came to a corner, Chu Lishu suddenly stopped, hesitated for a moment, and pulled Lin Qingyang into a dark palace.
When Lin Qingyang came back to his senses, he realized that this place was actually the uterus where Chu Lishu once stayed.
Although they have lived in the palace for a long time, they have never been here. After all, this place is full of memories of Chu Lishu's past. It is said that all the palace people serving here are dead, so Chu Lishu probably is not very willing to come here.
Sure enough, reading Chu Li's book at this time, he was staring at the empty courtyard and began to lose his mind, not knowing what he thought of.
Lin Qingyang couldn't help but clenched Chu Lishu's hand. When Chu Lishu looked over, he tried to smile to calm Chu Lishu's emotions. Chu Lishu came back to his senses and quickly smiled in relief.The two stayed at the base of the wall for a while, making sure that all the guards who had been chased had detoured here, so they felt relieved.
"We have to stay here for a while, and return to the cultural museum after they finish hunting around," Chu Li wrote.
"With such a commotion, they must have caught someone." Lin Qingyang said worriedly.
Chu Lishu led Lin Qingyang into the uterus, "Don't worry, it's not the same as before, even if we make a mess, they won't be able to hold us."
After all, with the backing of the chief executive and the forbidden army, as long as he is not caught, everything can be smoothed out.
"Let's go, show you where I used to live"
"Then I want to hear about the fun things you did when you were young."
"Okay, let me tell you."
On the other side, the emperor was very angry, he didn't expect to come here, and even encountered thieves, the guards went out to arrest them for a long time, but they didn't catch anything, they didn't even see anyone, the chief officer came here, only hinted that the Queen Mother I usually like to feed the cats, maybe the cats broke in, or the palace people had dirty hands and feet and wanted to steal things.Director Hai knew what Chu Lishu and the others were doing this time, so he kept things as small as possible. It happened that he was too late at this time, and he was shocked when he saw the broken Buddha statues all over the ground. He seemed to have thought of something, so he rushed Leave everyone, leaving only the emperor alone.
When there were only two people in the Buddhist hall, the queen mother began to search for the Buddha statue.
"Queen, you are..." The emperor looked puzzled.
Finally, the queen mother found the Buddha statue with the signature hidden, and took out the signature from inside. Seeing this scene, the emperor looked ugly and said, "You...why do you still keep this thing?"
The queen mother breathed a sigh of relief, "It seems that I was overthinking, it should be an accident."
"What...what's your heart?" The emperor suddenly trembled in his heart, and an idea popped up.
The queen mother sighed and began to tidy up the Buddha statues one by one. "The Ai family has been thinking, since Yuan Ran is dead, why did your Yuan family still not escape the fate on the signature? Is this retribution? Or that Yuan Ran is not dead. Then why didn't you come back?"
The emperor suddenly coughed with an ugly face, the queen mother looked at the emperor with concern, frowned and said: "The emperor take care of the dragon body."
"My queen, don't say such things in the future. I came to find my mother to discuss serious matters with her."
"You said."
"Mother, I hope you will protect Concubine Xu. Now Prime Minister Li's family is the only one, and after a while, they will force me to establish a reserve. It doesn't matter, but I can't control the situation anymore. I need time to adjust. I am worried about Concubine Mei. It will harm Concubine Xu, I don't have enough energy to deal with both ends, I hope you will protect Concubine Xu for me for the time being."
The queen mother was a little surprised, "Don't worry, since she is pregnant with the dragon seed, the Ai family will definitely not watch her have an accident. You have a deep affection for her because... Is she the same character as Concubine Liu back then? Let Do you remember your loved one?"
The emperor's face changed, "The queen mother will help me."
"The Ai family knows." The queen mother stopped asking, and saw the emperor coughing and leaving, but couldn't help frowning. Speaking of which, the emperor's current symptoms are really similar to those before Concubine Liu's accident. The queen mother knew that the emperor had harmed Concubine Liu. , but I don't know how it hurt, I just sigh, maybe the bad heart of the year finally had its retribution.
The queen mother looked at the re-arranged Buddha statue, knelt down devoutly, and worshiped Buddha.
The palace is still busy looking for prisoners.
And Chu Lishu had brought Lin Qingyang to his dormitory back then.
Naturally, there was nothing inside, even covered with cobwebs and dust. The feeling of depression and withering rushed over. The two of them looked at the outline of the hall through the moonlight.
"Ask a question."
"Ah."
The two came all the way, and their mood improved a lot. Chu Lishu also accompanied Lin Qingyang to play the game of questioning.
"Have you ever underestimated a court lady here?"
Chu Lishu said in surprise, "Of course not."
Lin Qingyang raised his eyebrows in disbelief and said, "His Royal Highness, you are so beautiful that you really don't need to frivolous court ladies, but there must be many court ladies who have a crush on you. Do you have the courage to volunteer yourself?"
At this moment, Chu Lishu was embarrassed.
Lin Qingyang narrowed his eyes and said, "Sure enough!"
"But I've never touched them before. When I see them, people will take them away and send them away." Chu Lishu smiled helplessly, pulled Lin Qingyang and said intimately: "I've only been close to you, this one can be with you swear."
Lin Qingyang's ears were blown with heat, and he blushed when he was told, he quickly changed the topic and said: "There is nothing to see here, not even a bed left."
Chu Lishu couldn't help but said: "Why do you want a bed? Don't you want to..."
Lin Qingyang quickly pushed away Chu Lishu who was approaching, "No, I'm about to sneeze because of the dust."
Chu Lishu smiled, "Yes, it's the first time, definitely not here."
Lin Qingyang was very embarrassed. Ever since Cheng and Yuan Ye finished dealing with it, Huo Luo and Yuechen also heard news that things went well. Everything went much smoother than they expected. The burden on them was finally relieved. Li Shu also started to get a little distracted.Occasionally, he would say such things, as if counting down the clock, which made Lin Qingyang nervous from time to time.
Just as Lin Qingyang was digesting the inexplicable heat in his body, Chu Lishu's voice came, "Come here, I actually brought you in to find something. When I was young, when I was just learning mechanism skills, I tried to arrange mechanism in my hall." Secret door, something was hidden at that time."
"What? A treasure?" Lin Qingyang was immediately aroused.
Immediately, the two of them walked to a wall, and saw Chu Lishu beating and beating for a while, and sure enough, a hidden compartment was opened, the light problem made it difficult to see what was going on inside, so Chu Lishu just reached out to grab it.
Soon a box was brought out.
Chu Lishu smiled and said: "Fortunately, they didn't push down the wall. This thing is still there. I originally wanted to wait until everything was over before looking for it, but since it's here today, let's take it in advance."
As Chu Lishu opened the box, inside was a cylindrical jade seal, the diameter of which was two fingers wide.
Lin Qingyang's original body likes to collect jade, and Lin Qingyang has seen too many collections, so he can tell at a glance that this is definitely the top quality jade.
Under the moonlight, you can clearly see the milky white color, the transparency and moistness are excellent, plus the gel-like luster, it is absolutely the best jade.
Chu Lishu picked up the jade seal and showed it to Lin Qingyang. Only then did Lin Qingyang see that it was not a smooth surface but a dragon embossed on it. The scales on the dragon's body were lifelike, hovering over the seal, and the dragon's head was just right. Formed as a decoration at one end of the stamp, it comes to life like a playful little dragon playing on the stamp.
Looking at the bottom, the words 'Prince Yuan Ran' are actually engraved. This is the seal of Prince Yuan Ran.
Lin Qingyang had never seen such a delicate and complicated seal, and he looked at it as if admiring a jade carving.
"This was carved by myself when I was interested in jade carving when I was a child, so it is different from ordinary seals. Before I entered the imperial court, I used this jade seal. Later, I got the prince's seal to handle political affairs, so it was stopped. , because he was reluctant to keep it in his private treasury, so he hid it here." Chu Lishu explained.
Lin Qingyang exclaimed: "The carving is awesome."
"This...for you." Chu Lishu took Lin Qingyang's hand, and put the jade seal that witnessed his best time in the past into Lin Qingyang's palm.
Lin Qingyang looked up at Chu Lishu in surprise, only to see affectionate tenderness flowing from Chu Lishu's warm brows and eyes.
The jade seal in his hand was a little heavy, but warm and beautiful. Suddenly, he felt that this scene was a bit like a marriage proposal, and his heartbeat accelerated. Lin Qingyang clenched the seal tightly, with infinite tenderness in his heart, "I will cherish it."
Chu Lishu couldn't help but pull Lin Qingyang over and kissed him lightly, but the environment here was really not suitable for doing anything, so he could only leave.
In order to avoid the pursuers, the two of them went to the Tai's palace, but they gained a lot.
There was still a lot of commotion in the palace that night, but in the end it was all over, the two barely had a rest, and the next day they told Concubine Mei to leave the palace.
They first found Mr. Cao, but Mr. Cao didn't know this kind of characters, so the two could only return to their private house with regret.
Chu Lishu thought about finding his master again when he had a chance in the future, but Mu Huichun happened to come to check his pulse. Chu Lishu remembered that Mu Huichun had been following his master, so he tried it out, but he didn't expect that Mu Huichun actually knew him.
"Many of Master's prescriptions are in this kind of language, so I learned it." Mu Huichun looked at it, his face gradually changed, and his pupils trembled slightly, as if he couldn't believe it.
Seeing this, Lin Qingyang and Lu Yishi became nervous.
Seeing Mu Huichun looking at him with an ugly expression, Chu Lishu finally nodded and said, "Speak."
Mu Huichun was a little uneasy, like a child who made a mistake, he translated word by word.

Even if you don't believe in prophets, hearing these estimates is not easy to relax.
This is the ending of the original text, Yuan Ran's doomed fate.
