In the quiet room of Qingyun Temple, smoke is curling up.
The plain-colored nun was elegant and even at her age, she still looked extraordinary. From her temperament to her appearance, she exuded a sense of immortal-like purity.
Three fragrant incense sticks were lit in an antique sandalwood burner. There was nothing fancy about it, but it suddenly made people feel awe in their hearts.
Xie Feng knelt in front of the incense burner and repeated what the eldest lady asked her to say. After kowtowed three times, she fell to the ground. She was feeling uneasy, wondering if what the eldest lady said had any effect. This person was not like the others, the abbot of Qingyun Temple who always made people feel that she never cared about worldly affairs. It was said that she basically didn't care about the affairs of Qingyun Temple and was focused on practicing Buddhism.
Although Xie Feng had met the abbot of Qingyun Temple when the eldest lady came before, it was just a brief salutation. The abbot of Qingyun Temple did not seem to be very enthusiastic and just received the eldest lady briefly.
I can't see any relationship between the Master of Qingyun Temple and the eldest lady.
Now that he had come so rashly, would the Master of Qingyun Temple really save the young lady? If he wanted to save her, how would he do it? If he didn't, what would happen
Will the young lady blame herself for everything that happened before she dies? It was clearly the young lady and the Crown Prince's order at the beginning, so how come it has become my punishment now
When she thought about her own safety, cold sweat broke out on Xiefeng's back. She knew she was also feeling aggrieved, but she had no way to explain it.
"Mrs. Ji?" The master of Qingyun Temple spoke slowly.
"Yes, I am the madam's personal maid, and I have met the master before." Xie Feng said hurriedly in a low voice, very respectful.
"You... Madam is innocent?" The Qingyun Monastery Master spoke slowly again, his calm voice making Xie Feng even more uneasy.
She had never seen the abbot of Qingyun Temple when she was following the former Crown Princess. She only saw him when she was following the eldest lady, but that was just a glimpse. Sometimes she just stood outside the door and did not hear anything specific they said.
“Yes, our lady was wronged, but now... everyone suspects her. Please, Master, save our lady. Our lady will definitely reward you generously.” Xie Feng expressed his meaning anxiously, and raised his head slowly with longing, tears in the corners of his eyes, begging.
"I have heard some of the rumors outside." Qingyun Guan spoke slowly and calmly.
Hearing the meaning of her words, Xie Feng became anxious: "Master, this is really unfair! They said that our Madam stole other people's things. Is our Madam such a narrow-minded person? She grew up in the Ling'an Marquis's Mansion since she was a child. She has always been the eldest daughter of the Ling'an Marquis' Mansion. She has seen all kinds of good things. How could she do such a vulgar thing? As for the rest... it's even more nonsense."
These words made the master of Qingyun Temple silent for a moment. With Ji Youran's identity, she indeed didn't seem like someone who could do such a thing. If this blood jade bracelet was just ordinary, no matter how good it was, Ji Youran would never do such a thing. But now this blood jade bracelet has become Ji Youran's obsession and the biggest token of her favor. How could she not fight for it
"Madam Ji, you shouldn't do such a thing." The master of Qingyun Temple sighed and looked a little sad.
"What the master said is true. All the jewelry and jade bracelets our lady has seen since she was a child are exquisite. She just bought them because she wanted to. How could she really do such a thing for a piece of jewelry? Our lady is innocent. Please help her, master.
Our lady." Xie Feng raised his head hastily when he heard that there was a play.
"Then... why don't you explain it to His Royal Highness?" The face of the Qingyun Monastery master was looming in the green smoke, with a calm and peaceful look of a monk. "I am just a monk, and I don't care about worldly matters. Even if I have a certain affinity with your wife, I can't interfere in this matter casually."
"Although our lady would never do such a thing, there is evidence in the hands of others now. She has to admit it even if she doesn't want to. Even if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to save our lady, there is nothing he can do." Xie Feng reached out to wipe away his tears, feeling very aggrieved. This concerned not only the eldest lady's life, but also his own life.
Seeing her sincere expression, the master of Qingyun Temple became a little confused.
"What about the Empress in the palace? Can't she prove it for your Empress?"
“The Empress has never cared about the affairs of the Eastern Palace. Now the one who calls the shots in the Eastern Palace is the new Crown Princess. Our wife is the previous Crown Princess’s sister. How could the new Crown Princess…” Xie Feng didn’t say this out loud, but the meaning was conveyed. Even though Ji Hanyue was dead, Liu Jingyu was still jealous now.
The concubine and the first wife have always been different. When the prince dies one day, it is most likely that he will be buried with the first wife, but it is hard to say about the concubine.
Based on this point alone, it is understandable that Liu Jingyu is upset. Moreover, since this incident has been determined to be an injustice, did Liu Jingyu also intervene
The implication of Xiefeng's words was very clear.
"Master, please save our lady. She will repay you wholeheartedly in the future." Xie Feng said and promised again.
“It doesn’t matter whether you repay me or not. I am a monk. I am very happy here and don’t want to have too many worldly concerns.” The master of Qingyun Temple said slowly.
These words made Xie Feng's heart turn cold. He raised his head in panic, fearing that the master of Qingyun Temple would really not care.
Fortunately, the next sentence, the Qingyun Temple master's words loosened up: "Since your wife is really wronged, I can't just sit there and do nothing. Saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda."
As he spoke, he clasped his hands together and closed his eyes slightly.
"Thank you, Master. Thank you, Master." Xie Feng originally thought that this matter would not succeed and had been somewhat hopeless. But when he heard this, he was overjoyed and thanked repeatedly.
"Get up, you don't have to thank me. It's still uncertain whether this matter will succeed or not. It all depends on whether your wife is really wronged." The master of Qingyun Temple sighed.
"Master, what do you mean?" Xie Feng's heart was lifted again and his voice trembled.
"If I can save her, I will naturally do so. But if I can't, it means that God also thinks that your wife is not wronged." said the master of Qingyun Temple.
These words made Xie Feng's face twist.
If she can't be saved, that means she deserves to die. It's God's will that the young lady should die, but why should she implicate herself
I am living very well with the Crown Princess now. It is obvious that the Crown Princess values me and wants to use me. Why should she let me die with the eldest lady
She was unwilling to accept it.
"Please, Master, save our lady no matter what." Xie Feng pleaded again. He had to ask the Master of Qingyun Temple for a correct answer, otherwise he would feel uneasy.
"Okay, go back. Whether it succeeds or not depends on God's will." The master of Qingyun Temple smiled slightly and waved his hand.
Then
