"Get up quickly," Lu Mingwei said with a smile on his face, "What scriptures will Jing'an read to me today?"
"If your father is willing to listen, then I will continue reading the Sutra of Infinite Life as yesterday," Princess Jing'an said with a smile. Zhao Ruhai was so busy that he moved the embroidered embroidery pier and placed it on the side of the soft couch. Princess Jing'an sat down and turned the pages. Opening the sutra, he smiled and said to Lu Mingwei, "In the past, what the Queen Mother read the most was the Infinite Life Sutra. Long live the Lord also loved to listen to the Infinite Life Sutra. This shows that mother and son are connected."
"Why are you so patient? You go to the palace every day to read scriptures to me, an old man." Lu Mingwei took a sip of tea and said slowly.
"It is natural for a son to be filial to his father, not to mention that he has nothing to do when he stays at the house every day. It is his blessing to be able to enter the palace and read scriptures to his father," Princess Jing'an said with a smile, " I am very happy to see that my father's body is better than yesterday. I will definitely pay homage to Medicine King Bodhisattva again when I return home."
"Such a good age is wasted reading the Bodhisattva scriptures every day." Lu Mingwei curled his lips and showed a rare kind and kind smile, "Hasn't Jing'an ever thought about getting married again?"
Princess Jing'an has served the Queen Mother for a long time, and her temperament is gentle and quiet, which is very popular with Lu Mingwei. Compared with the ambitious Princess Linglong and Princess Anle, who is the princess of Ning County, the innocent and harmless Princess Jing'an is more It caught Lu Mingwei's eyes. He had been a cold-hearted king for a long time, but now his heart softened when he was on the sickbed. It was only to Princess Jing'an that he could safely reveal his fatherly heart.
Princess Jing'an was startled, then lowered her head and said, "I never thought about it. I just want to serve my father well and have no other thoughts."
"After all, you are still young, and it is always pitiful to be alone," Lu Mingwei sighed, "Don't be too busy refusing, I will keep an eye on you. If you have a good son, as long as you nod, I will make the decision for you. ”
Princess Jing'an's face turned pale. She was so busy that she knelt down and kowtowed: "But my father, I really never thought about it..."
"Start from the beginning, think about it, I am also doing it for your own good," Lu Mingwei said slowly, while adding, "Get up and recite sutras."
"...Yes," Princess Jing'an had no choice but to stand up and sit back on the embroidered pier, and opened the book of scriptures with trembling fingers, "the wisdom of all faculties is vast and peaceful. Go deep into the Bodhisattva's dharma treasure, obtain the Buddha's Huayan Samadhi, and preach and speak all the scriptures. Staying at the gate of deep concentration, you can see countless Buddhas in the present moment. They are all around you in the blink of an eye..."

After serving Lu Mingwei's medicine, Zhao Ruhai was carrying the medicine bowl out when he saw Deng Jingfeng, the commander of the Royal Forest Army, walking towards the main hall in a hurry.
"Commander Deng, is something wrong?" Zhao Ruhai asked.
Deng Jingfeng looked anxious: "Excuse me, father-in-law, please go in and report. I have something to report to Lord Long Live in person."
"Long live the Lord to rest and not see anyone." Zhao Ruhai felt a little embarrassed. "If something happens to Commander Deng, he might as well report it to the three princes."
"Eunuch, this matter must be reported to the Long Live Lord," Deng Jingfeng approached Zhao Ruhai and whispered, "Empress Li is dead."
Zhao Ruhai was startled: "When did it happen?"
"This morning, the maid of the Yuqing Palace discovered that Empress Li had hanged herself in her bedroom," Deng Jingfeng said, then paused and said in a lower voice, "But I saw that the cause of Empress Li's death was quite strange."
