"Master, Xie Feng went to Qingyun Temple and met the abbot of Qingyun Temple. That quiet room belongs to the abbot of Qingyun Temple. It is the place we saw when we went there before."
An Dong reported in great detail, fearing that Qu Moying might not understand, he also specifically mentioned the place where Qu Moying had been at that time.
Ji Youran once asked Qu Moying to go over and show it to the Master of Qingyun Temple. That was the place where the Master of Qingyun Temple was most often.
When Xiefeng passed by, he first walked around Qingyun Temple, burned incense and paper, and then followed a Taoist nun to that place. He must have specifically asked the Taoist nun to lead him there.
He was very nervous when he went in, and very uneasy when he came out. He didn't look like he had received any definite news.
"Master, as the master of Qingyun Temple, does he really have such great ability to save this person from Ji Mansion?" Yuxiu asked in surprise. She thought that this matter must be difficult to handle, and Xiefeng did not gain anything in the end and had to leave, so he was in a panic.
"I heard that the current Qingyun Temple Master was saved by Princess Hengyang at that time. At that time, Princess Hengyang should have just become a nun not long ago. Although she was in charge of Qingyun Temple, she basically did not appear in front of the public. She only said that she was devoted to cultivation. After a period of time, this Qingyun Temple Master came and helped to handle the affairs of Qingyun Temple. He had a very good relationship with Princess Hengyang. After that, Princess Hengyang passed away, and this Qingyun Temple Master became hers."
An Dong told Qu Moying all the information he had heard.
From this it seems that there is nothing wrong with the Master of Qingyun Temple. He is pure-hearted and has few desires - this is the Master of Qingyun Temple. In the previous life, Ji Hanyue always believed so. Pei Luoan also often sighed and said that the Master of Qingyun Temple was just an otherworldly master who happened to fall into the mortal world.
After Princess Hengyang passed away, the reputation of the Qingyun Temple Master became known, but he gradually appeared less and less in public, leaving all affairs to other people in the temple to handle.
The more mysterious she was, the more miraculous her divinations became.
Qu Moying was surprised that Xie Feng went to Qingyun Temple to meet the master of Qingyun Temple this time. It seemed that Ji Youran and the master of Qingyun Temple had a special relationship.
In her previous life, she did not know the Master of Qingyun Temple. She only heard that he had a very good reputation and was highly respected. She also told Ji Youran that she wanted to meet the Master of Qingyun Temple. Ji Youran said at the time that she would find a way, but then the matter was dropped. Unexpectedly, she actually got to know the Master of Qingyun Temple.
Now I can trust him with my life and death. There are so many things involved. I was indeed blind in my previous life...
"Let's take a closer look and see what ability this Qingyun Monastery Master has that can make the Crown Prince give up punishing Ji Youran and save her."
Qu Moying blinked her beautiful eyes slightly, and the corners of her lips curled up. She waited quietly for the next article to go in which direction...
A letter was delivered to Pei Luoan.
Pei Luoan took it and looked at it, then asked doubtfully: "Did the master of Qingyun Temple give it to me?"
"It was indeed sent by the abbot of Qingyun Temple, who said it was related to the matter of the late Crown Princess." The eunuch reported respectfully.
Pei Luoan frowned, opened the envelope, and read it carefully. The more he looked, the worse his expression became. Finally, he slammed the envelope in his hand.
"Your Highness!" The eunuch was startled and his face turned pale immediately.
"Let's go!" Pei Luoan stood up, put his hands behind his back and walked out, and the eunuch hurriedly followed.
Pei Luoan led his men to the small ancestral hall
Two Taoist nuns from Qingyun Temple were guarding there. When they saw Pei Luoan coming, they hurried forward to greet him.
Pei Luoan waved his hand, and the others retreated and strode into the small ancestral hall.
Two Taoist nuns followed in.
Someone handed over three incense sticks. Pei Luoan took them, placed the incense in his palms facing the spirit tablet in the middle, lowered his head slightly, and then solemnly inserted the incense into the incense burner.
"What's wrong here?" Pei Luoan said in a deep voice.
"I don't know either, I just feel that things have been... a little uneasy recently. I don't want to disturb the people in the mansion, so I sent someone to tell the temple master about this." A Taoist nun said implicitly.
"Why are you feeling uneasy?" Pei Luoan asked coldly.
"I just felt... that there were some bad noises at night, and I don't know why, but it was just... after Madam Ji got into trouble." The Taoist nun reported, her face slightly pale as she thought of recent events, and it was obvious that she was frightened.
"What exactly is it?" Pei Luoan asked unhappily, glancing at the two Taoist nuns. He didn't need to listen to such specious words.
"That day, the spirit tablet suddenly fell over, and there was a trace of... candle wax on it, red... like... like, although the candles used here are all white, never red, and this place is only for the two of us, no one else, but... but it is red, like..."
The nun stammered, and it was obvious that she was afraid, so her words were not so fluent.
"And there was incense... The doors and windows were closed, and the incense stopped burning for no apparent reason. It kept stopping. This has never happened before." said another Taoist nun.
"At that time... it happened that a eunuch came to deliver incense and candles. We were afraid of causing bad rumors, so we didn't dare to say more. We just... said that we accidentally stained the candles with red and hurriedly wiped it clean, but actually... actually... there were no red candles."
Another Taoist nun explained.
"Did you see it?" Pei Luoan turned his head and looked at the eunuch behind him. In the past, he would ask the eunuchs around him to bring incense and candles and other things here.
When the eunuch heard what they said, he suddenly felt a chill on his back, as if something was scratching his body, and he shivered with fear.
"Your Highness... I... I really saw it. I asked, and they said... they said it was accidentally stained by the two of them."
He really didn't think about anything else at that time. He just didn't care about it because the two nuns said they did it accidentally, and left in a hurry.
He was also shocked when he came in to see the tablet. At first glance, it looked like blood was flowing out of the tablet, which made people feel scared. Since there was nothing wrong, he didn't want to stay here any longer. He hurriedly threw the things down and went back.
Since it was not a big deal, he did not mention it to Pei Luoan.
"Blood overflowing from the spirit tablet is a bad omen. Dear sisters, please offer sacrifices to it to avoid disaster."
There were only a few words in the letter from the master of Qingyun Temple, and the meaning was very clear. Think about what had happened in the mansion recently, one after another, and each one of them had affected the reputation of the Eastern Palace and his own reputation.
Could it be because of the bleeding from the spirit tablet
If the spirit tablet was really bleeding, Pei Luoan would not believe it, but if he said that this red candle appeared silently on the spirit tablet, he would believe it a little.
Ji Hanyue’s biological sisters include no one else except Ji Yanyue.
Apart from Ji Yanyue, the closest person to him was his cousin Ji Youran. His cousin Qu Moying was a little further away, and he didn't know her well.
He can order Qu Moying to offer sacrifices to Ji Hanyue.
"You guys go down first! I just want to be alone." Pei Luoan waved his hand, and the two Taoist nuns bowed and retreated to the door.
Pei Luoan stood there quietly, looking at the spirit tablet in the middle, his face turned pale, and after a long while he walked in, turned the door, went to the back, then entered the back door, then the secret door, went down the stairs, and finally appeared in front of the cold crystal coffin.
Ice-cold pool, transparent crystal coffin.
The woman in the coffin was as calm and peaceful as ever, as if she had just fallen asleep. She lacked her former heroic spirit, and was quiet and peaceful. She had a gentleness that was different from others, but also exuded a sense of grandeur. Her eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, like a fairy, and she faded away in the wind. Except for the lack of warmth and vitality, everything about her was the same as when she was alive.
"Hanyue... is that you?" Pei Luoan sat down on the side, his eyes full of pain and struggle, talking to himself as he looked at the woman in the crystal coffin.
The ice cellar was silent. It was so quiet that it seemed as if nothing was there except him.
"Hanyue, do you want to keep her?" Pei Luoan asked again, his expression gentle and a little tired, his hands supporting his head, quietly looking at the woman in the coffin, "Why do you have to keep her? If it weren't for her... I wouldn't have let you down... If she hadn't repeatedly said some specious words, I wouldn't have doubted you."
"That day, I didn't expect you to do this... Why did you do that? I won't involve you in your father's affairs..." Pei Luoan's gentle expression turned into a painful struggle, "I really don't want your life, you... why did you do that, even if it's your father's fault... it has nothing to do with you, can't I protect you?"
"Even if you can't be the Crown Princess, you can still be something else. Even if you are nothing... you are the only one in my heart, the only one in my life... Why are you so depressed that you want to commit suicide!"...
Every word was painful, as if it was the deepest struggle in his heart. Every memory was accompanied by a bloody wound. Pei Luoan's hands were already covering his chest. His head lowered weakly. He took a few deep breaths before he felt that he was alive again. He really didn't want to kill Ji Hanyue.
Ji Hanyue's death was an accident, an accident that he could not control.
There was redness in the eye sockets.
"I'm sorry for you..." This was his only thought at the moment, but it was just a thought. He didn't want to recall that past anymore.
He closed his eyes and tried hard to suppress the memory. The expression on his face slowly calmed down. When he opened his eyes again, the blush in his eyes was gone.
He sighed softly, feeling an inexplicable sense of relief: "Are you going to protect Ji Youran again? You are still so kind, she is not as good as you think... If it weren't for her... maybe you wouldn't be disappointed in me... But now you still want to protect her?"
"But... what can I do? I will always help you with what you want, even if the person you are protecting is not worth it at all!" Pei Luoan murmured.
After that, he didn't speak for a long time. After a while, he stood up resolutely and said to the woman in the crystal coffin tenderly: "I know what you mean. I will go back first and come to see you next time. You should have a good rest."
After saying that, he looked around again and said, "Your place is too quiet and peaceful. I'll bring some things over next time and set things up. I can't let you stay alone all the time."
