Luda seemed not to realize that there was another person in front of him, and he still ate and drank freely. King Qin discovered that what he drank was not tea, but wine, a large jar of strong liquor. According to the size of the jar and the contents of the jar, King Qin immediately judged from the smell that this wine was at least twenty years old and had not been mixed with any water. A jar of wine like this would make people and horses drunk. But Luda remained calm as if nothing had happened. Change color.
The wine and meat passed through the intestines, but remained in the heart of the Buddha.
He thought this Mang monk was very interesting, but he had no opportunity to talk in depth several times. Ruda poured another full bowl of wine without blinking, and raised his hand, and the bowl of wine flew flatly towards King Qin. King Qin only He felt a strong force approaching, but it disappeared. He was startled, stretched out his hand, and secretly used his inner strength to barely catch the bowl and drank it all.
Ruda then asked calmly: "King Qin, why are you here?"
"Why are you here?"
Neither of them answered. Ruda stood up, wiped his mouth, put down the tea money, picked up the Zen staff and left.
King Qin was about to call him, but after thinking about it, he gave up. Zhou Qi looked at his back and was a little surprised: "Your Majesty, who is this person?"
"Kansai Ruda."
"Ah? Is it the famous Lu Tiha?"
"it's him."
The waiter who came to serve tea was already older, with a stooped back. When he saw King Qin, he was startled: "My God..."
King Qin glared at him: "Do you still recognize me?"
Who doesn't remember the evil spirit who fought with Luda to pieces and threw away a large amount of money to pay compensation? Xiao Zhiqiu said tremblingly: "Sir, what do you want?"
"If you have any good things, please bring them out, otherwise I will beat your tea shed to pieces..."
"Okay, just wait..."
The waiter hurriedly went to bring tea and water. King Qin took out a large ingot of silver and threw it over: "Xiao Er, I will reward you..."
The waiter was flattered: "Thank you, uncle, thank you, uncle..."
King Qin stared at him: "Do you know why I want to reward you?"
The waiter's face was full of fear but he couldn't help but smile flatteringly: "I don't know, little one."
"Because this is a farm."
The young monk Erzhang Er was confused. There was a farm all around, why should he be rewarded
King Qin seemed to be in a very happy mood. Just like when he set foot here, he felt a sense of gratitude to Zhongjiazhuang that he had never imagined. This was the first time in his life that he had smashed someone else's shop and was able to compensate for it.
After finishing the tea, Zhou Qi did his duty and said: "Your Majesty, it's time for us to hit the road. If we hurry up, we will reach our destination soon."
King Qin stood up and got on his horse. The wind rustled and the horses hummed. He turned around, feeling disappointed. The road ahead was the road to the north. Going further, the south was completely behind him, and the distance from Lin'an was getting farther and farther, even farther than the road. It is even further away from Luoxia Island.
… … …
He suddenly thought of Ruda, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. The last time Hua Rong and Yue Peng had a conflict and ran away from home to join Ruda. He already knew that Ruda was meditating in Donglin Temple. Donglin Temple and Zhongjiazhuang were in opposite directions. .What is Ruda going to do
Seeing that he was lagging behind, Zhou Qi turned his horse around and said, "Your Majesty, it's getting late."
King Qin glared: "I know. You don't need to say anything."
Zhou Qi didn't dare to speak again, but thinking of Uncle Yang's secret instructions, he still reminded him dutifully: "Your Majesty, Yelu Dayong is still waiting for us..."
"Get on your way quickly and don't be too long-winded."
King Qin waved his riding whip and caught up with everyone. Zhou Qi breathed a sigh of relief and also chased after them.
Wang Junhua had a secret meeting with Jin Wu, and she originally took some reassurance. However, she received a tip from the dead that night that the fourth prince might be in some trouble. She was shocked. Hua Rong and Yue Pengju actually set up a trap to wait for the fourth prince? She was angry and anxious. When she sent someone again, she lost news about the fourth prince.
She had no choice but to consult with Qin Hui.
Qin Hui also knew that this matter was not trivial. He chewed his cheek and frowned. Of course the fourth prince would not be in danger, but it was difficult to predict whether it would affect his future.
Wang Junhua was so anxious that he had no master. If he cut off the line of the fourth prince, he would lose a huge backer.
"Old ghost, I was originally giving a gift to the fourth prince, but who knew that bitch Hua Rong would actually set a trap? Will the fourth prince use this to vent his anger on us?"
Qin Hui is naturally much more experienced: "The fourth prince also needs to rely on us. Since he has not encountered real danger, he will not fall out with us."
"But Yue Pengju is very cunning. If there was no trap, how could he let the fourth prince go so easily?"
"These two are ultimately a scourge and must be eliminated immediately."
"The officials have issued a secret order. Within three days, Yue Pengju will be arrested and then announced to the world."
Wang Junhua beamed with joy and gritted his teeth: "Only when we get rid of these serious troubles can we have a truly peaceful life."
The next day, Wang Junhua went to the palace with heavy make-up. She secretly tended to follow Xiao Liu's route these days and gave many gifts to Xiao Liu. The two were talking affectionately when the palace maid informed that the official family was coming.
Wang Junhua did not shy away and knelt down to salute.
She secretly observed Zhao Deji's expression and could not see any displeasure. On the contrary, he was very excited. She immediately guessed that there was nothing unusual about Zhao Deji and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
After Xiao Liu got the elixir, she has been busy with the plan to have a son. Compared with before, she put more thought into dressing up in order to get a real favorite. At the same time, she was very taboo about Zhao Deji going to the rooms of other concubines. . She naturally knew about the ambiguous relationship between Zhao Deji and Wang Junhua, but when she saw Wang Junhua acting flattering again, even though she had received many bribes, she felt uncomfortable and coughed.
Wang Junhua naturally understood the interest and resigned immediately.
As soon as she left, Mrs. Liu immediately changed her smile, took Zhao Deji's hand, gently massaged his shoulders, and asked softly: "Guan family, there are a lot of memorials today, are you tired from reading them?"
"Yiyuan" is surrounded by spies, and Yue Pengju will be captured within three days. Is there any reason to be unhappy when a tiger enters the cave? He laughed loudly, suddenly became more passionate, and hugged little Liu: "The serious trouble in my heart has been eliminated, and the peace talks have been successful. Now the only thing missing from me is a son... My requirements are not high. As long as I can have a son, I will be happy in this life." Worry-free…”
But Zhao Deji didn't know whether it was because he was overly excited about getting rid of a serious problem in his confidants or because he was pleased that the peace talks were settled. Although he took aphrodisiacs, he was unable to do what he wanted. This was the first time that Wang Jixian's aphrodisiacs failed. He occasionally saw Xiao Liu coming from His eyes were filled with excitement and disappointment, and he felt a sense of humiliation in his heart. He also felt a sense of disgust and hatred for Xiao Liu. He suddenly felt that this woman was so slutty that she was even more difficult to deal with than a tiger or a wolf. He got angry, got up and left. Xiao Liu She had never seen him leave halfway, but she didn't dare to keep him, so she could only hide and cry alone, but when she thought of Wang Jixian's elixir, she always had hope in her heart.
dusk.
In front of the Queen Mother's Buddhist hall, the curtains were hanging, the wind was blowing, the small stove flickered on and off, and the cold wind howled outside the window. Tianwei knelt in front of the Buddha statue all day long, in a daze, neither chanting sutras nor worshiping Buddha. These days, she Having been imprisoned and transferred from the Prince Consort's Mansion to the Buddhist Hall, it was Zhao Deji who, for the sake of his deceased aunt, allowed her request to stay with the Queen Mother at the last moment. For this reason, the sensitive female relatives in the palace , no one dared to come to the Buddhist hall to burn incense and pray anymore, and they all stayed far away, for fear of getting into trouble.
There was another gust of cold wind. She looked up numbly and saw a figure coming out from deep in the curtain.
Her somewhat numb eyes showed joy: "Mrs. Yue..."
Hua Rong stepped forward to help her up. After not seeing her for a short time, Tianwei was already haggard, and a strand of hair hanging down turned gray. Despite the sin of being a "fake princess" and the rough fate of her life, she was only twenty-four and five years old. Years later, she now looks like a haggard middle-aged woman in her forties.
"Princess… "
Tianwei laughed miserably: "Mrs. Yue, the word 'princess' has brought humiliation and fear to the slave family. Please call me Tianwei."
Hua Rong held back her tears and cheered up to comfort her: "Tianwei, don't be afraid, you are a true princess, no one dares to do anything to you."
Tianwei shook her head: "As a princess, what Ninth Brother says is true is true, and what he says is false is false..." She burst into tears, "I have been through life and death, and suffered all kinds of humiliation in Liujia Temple. The Fourth Prince's Mansion was tortured. However, none of the enemies were killed. The Fourth Prince, Wang Junhua and the couple were still enjoying themselves... I originally expected Ninth Brother to avenge me, but... "
Hua Rong supported her slightly trembling body, but couldn't comfort her with a word. Ninth Brother, the Ninth Brother to whom she repaid her great hopes, the former "Ninth Prince", had already stepped onto the throne of Song Huizong in the king's hegemony. old road.
"I respect the teachings of the Queen Mother. I always dress and eat with caution. I never dare to take one more step or say one more word. Unexpectedly, I still can't escape this disaster. Wanwan, I, we can't escape... If I had known Today is not as good as back then..." She couldn't continue. She thought of the years when she escaped from the Kingdom of Jin and said goodbye to Ma Su on the snow in Elong Town. If she had followed him back then, she would have been a pirate woman all over the world. It is better than being in this ruthless palace, being cornered and trapped in a desperate situation.
How could Hua Rong not know what she was thinking? She also felt the same regret in her heart. If she had known this, wouldn't it be better for her and her husband to live in seclusion in the far corners of the world than to fall into a trap today
Tianwei suddenly became excited and pushed Hua Rong's hand: "Mrs. Yue, go, go quickly..."
Hua Rong sighed, where can she go
"Mrs. Yue, go as fast as you can. Go as far as you can. Leave this ruthless and unjust place..."
A slap fell hard on Tianwei's face, and her voice stopped abruptly. A ghostly voice sounded viciously above the two of them: "You are such a slutty maid, how dare you encourage Rong'er to run away?"
Tianwei knelt down, hugged his legs tightly, and burst into tears: "Brother Ninth, Brother Ninth, do you really think I am the fake Tianwei?"
At this moment, the angry expression on Zhao Deji's face trembled. This was his biological sister. He knew better than anyone else that she was his only sibling in the world. But so what
His voice was cold: "Tianwei, if you were my sister, you wouldn't have made such inappropriate remarks today."
