"Does Your Majesty know what your majesty intends?"
Hopeless is very peaceful, there is no wave in the heart.
Even if there is a woman who is the empress dowager in front of him, asking her to be buried with another person still can't make any waves in his heart.
Living to this age, I have seen too much life and death, and suffering in the world.
Is it scary to die
No!
Not being able to choose your own death is the most terrifying thing.
Huyang's own choice of death, in Wuwang's heart, even though it is embarrassing, is it not a kind of luck.
At least Huyang decided her own death and did not leave her fate in the hands of others.
Empress Dowager Pei showed a sneer at the back, "So what if His Majesty knows! Between me and you, do you think His Majesty will choose you?"
Hopeless lowered his eyes, "The empress dowager misunderstood, the poor monk is worried about bringing trouble to the empress dowager."
"If you feel dissatisfied, feel free to complain to His Majesty and ask His Majesty to save your life. No matter what, I will definitely take your life."
Empress Dowager Pei spoke loudly.
Three years after Hu Yang passed away, Empress Dowager Pei was lonely for three years.
After three years of lonely life in the deep palace, the Empress Dowager Pei has almost reached the limit of her patience.
She often thinks of Huyang recently, especially when they were young, when the two fought each other and you came and went.
Every time, Queen Mother Pei can laugh out loud.
In private, she often talked about Huyang with Eunuch Wen.
Hu Yang is really a very interesting woman, her soul is free and fragile.
she likes her!
Empress Dowager Pei has confirmed it countless times.
Emperor Chengzong Wende passed away for so many years, Empress Dowager Pei never missed him, nor dreamed of him.
However, she often thinks of Huyang and recalls the past when the two got along.
What is it if this is not like
Of course, this liking is different from the liking between men and women.
It's pure admiration, pure love.
To seek justice for the one she likes, Empress Dowager Pei believes that she is doing the right thing, and it must be done.
Huyang was killed by hopelessness, so how can he still be alive and enjoy the treatment of an eminent monk.
Why
Others don't care about Hu Yang's life or death, but she does!
No one wants to avenge Hu Yang, she thought!
So she took the opportunity of being ill to let Emperor Liu Zhao recall Wuwang to the capital.
She went to Xiangguo Temple to meet Wuwang in person, hoping that as few people as possible would know about it, the better.
she is old!
Maybe a few more years, maybe a few more months, maybe a few days before Jiu dies.
Life and death, no one can say for sure.
In any case, she must seek justice for Huyang before she dies.
In this way, even if she dies, she can rest in peace.
When she arrived in the underworld, she could smile at her without any burden when she saw Huyang.
Hearing that the other party wanted to take his life, Wu Wang remained indifferent.
"Don't worry, Empress Dowager, today's conversation is limited to inside the door. If you leave this door, not a single word will flow out."
Empress Dowager Pei smiled coldly, "Do you think I will spare you if you say that?"
Wuwang said: "Life and death have long been looked down upon. My mother wants the poor monk to die, but the poor monk has no objection. The poor monk is indeed responsible for Huyang's death. Although we are often involuntary, it is not an excuse to shirk responsibility."
Empress Dowager Pei secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
she is old!
It is difficult to let hopelessness die without anyone noticing.
She can only use her identity to suppress Wuwang and let Wuwang die by herself.
She asked him, "Don't you regret it?"
Hopeless shook his head slowly, "Huyang died because of the poor monk, it is very reasonable for the poor monk to return her life."
Empress Dowager Pei narrowed her eyes, and she suddenly began to reflect on whether she was too cruel.
She said softly, "Huyang doesn't want you to die."
Hopeless laughed, "The poor monk knows! The poor monk has read the letter she wrote to the poor monk. He has shown some kindness to the poor monk, and the poor monk is grateful, but he can't return it. If she wants the poor monk's Life, the poor monk will give it to her."
"Huyang didn't want your life, it was Bengong who wanted your life."
"It's all the same!" Wu Wang looked indifferent,
It didn't matter to him who wanted his life.
What matters is that he has made a decision.
Empress Dowager Pei sighed, "I suddenly feel a little regretful. If you don't want to die, I will never force you. It is more useful for you to live."
Hopeless, smiling and speechless.
Empress Dowager Pei was tired. She stood up and looked at Wuwang condescendingly, "Your life and death are up to you to decide. I have done everything I can do for Huyang. I have no regrets in my heart."
"Yes! Your Majesty owes nothing to Huyang, so there is no need to be burdened."
Empress Dowager Pei smiled at him, "It's no wonder that Huyang has fallen in love with Li and has been obsessed with him for 20 years. You really have something special. Take care of yourself, I will leave!"
"Congratulations to the Empress Dowager."
crunch...
The old door was pushed open from the inside, making a harsh sound.
As soon as Liu Yi turned his head, he saw Empress Dowager Pei coming out of the quiet room.
"Mother, are you done talking?"
Empress Dowager Pei nodded.
Liu Yi glanced behind the door, the light was dim, and his vision was blurred. I saw Wuwang sitting still, as if he had already settled down.
He said: "Xiangguo Temple has prepared a vegetarian meal, the queen mother wants to try it?"
"No! I'm tired, so I'll go back to the palace immediately."
"Going back to the palace now? The son is worried that the queen mother will be tired."
Empress Dowager Pei clasped his hand, "This place makes people feel depressed and short of breath, it's better in the palace."
"What the mother said is that the son also finds the atmosphere in Xiangguo Temple uncomfortable."
Empress Dowager Pei insisted on going back to the palace, and didn't even eat the vegetarian meal carefully prepared by Xiangguo Temple.
Back in the palace, she lay down.
It was as if the body had been hollowed out, and all the strength in the body had been drained.
Liu Zhao was very worried and went to Weiyang Palace to visit.
"My mother went to Xiangguo Temple, and not only did she not recover, but she even got worse. What's going on here?"
"I haven't been out of the palace for a long time, and I feel very tired after going out of the palace. Don't worry, the emperor, I will be fine after a few days of rest."
"Is it really all right?"
Empress Dowager Pei nodded, "The imperial physician has already said that I am tired and need to rest."
Ok!
…
Two days later, Xiangguo Temple released the news that Master Wuwang retreated and meditated.
When the news reached Weiyang Palace, Empress Dowager Pei, who had recovered a little energy, smiled coldly, "Men really can't be trusted."
"Your Majesty, please calm down!" Duke Wen was afraid that the Empress Dowager Pei would be sullen again and her body would be damaged.
Empress Dowager Pei laughed at herself, "I'm still too soft-hearted."
No hope was forced to drink the poison on the spot.
She even prepared the poison, but couldn't do it at the last moment.
After all, her heart is not that cruel.
Empress Dowager Pei felt that she had failed Huyang, and was a little disheartened. I don't want to see the hopeless second side again.
Looking at the hopeless face, it is really easy to be shaken.
That's all, that's all!
If Hu Yang wants to blame, just blame her.
Empress Dowager Pei is not good at Buddhism, but she reads Buddhist scriptures.
If you don't believe it, you will read the Taoist scriptures from time to time.
When I was young, I didn't like to read books, but when I was old, I realized the beauty of words.
Even if it is just Buddhist scriptures and Taoist scriptures, there are unexpected gains.
Empress Dowager Pei couldn't put down the scroll, and Eunuch Wen hurried in from the outside.
"Your Majesty, something is wrong!"
"What's the matter? How can you be so flustered?"
"Your Majesty is right. This old servant just got some news about Master Hopeless."
Empress Dowager Pei put down the scriptures in her hands, "What's wrong with Hopelessness? Isn't he in retreat?"
Eunuch Wen wiped the sweat from his brow, "Master Hopeless passed away."
"what?"
Snapped!
The scriptures in the hands of Empress Dowager Pei rolled to the ground.
Her face turned pale, "When did it happen?"
Eunuch Wen hurriedly said: "It was discovered early this morning. Master Wuwang retreated and meditated, and no one was allowed to disturb him. He didn't move for a few days, and he didn't eat or drink. The abbot of Xiangguo Temple was worried, so he sent someone to check this morning, only to find that Master Wuwang It has passed away, and has been dead for several days. However, the miraculous thing is that the body of Master Wuwang is not rotten. Everyone in Xiangguo Temple said that Master Wuwang became a Buddha sitting on the ground, and he will do a grand ceremony for Master Wuwang. I made a special post , invite monks from all over the world."
When Empress Dowager Pei heard that Wuwang had died for many days, she lost her mind.
After a long time, she came back to her senses and muttered to herself, "After all, he never broke his promise, and finally kept his promise."
"Empress Dowager, are you alright?" Eunuch Wen was a little frightened, because Empress Dowager Pei's complexion was so bad that he was frightened.
Empress Dowager Pei waved her hand, "I'm fine! I'm tired, just lie down for a while."
Eunuch Wen helped Empress Dowager Pei back to bed.
Soon, Empress Dowager Pei fell asleep.
Eunuch Wen didn't dare to be careless, so he sent someone to invite the imperial physician to diagnose the pulse.
The imperial doctor came to Weiyang Palace, stretched out his hand to feel the pulse, his heart suddenly panicked, why the empress dowager's pulse is so weak, as if it didn't exist.
Obviously when I asked for a pulse yesterday, the pulse condition was still excellent.
"How is the Queen Mother?" Eunuch Wen asked.
The imperial physician did not dare to hide anything, but told the truth.
When Eunuch Wen heard the words, cold sweat rolled off him.
Not daring to neglect the slightest, quickly send someone to report to the emperor and empress.
If something happened to the Empress Dowager, the head of his head would have to be accounted for here.
