What's there to regret
Taking people as a ladder and climbing up step by step, wasn't it his long-standing dream
"Director Yuan." A little eunuch walked into the room, "Wu Shulai had something wrong."
Yuan Chunwang stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, and said lightly, "Speak."
"He lost his words after drinking, and said a lot of bad things about you in front of his apprentice." The little eunuch said respectfully, "Later, I accidentally mentioned that he had the Queen Mother's handle in his hand and wanted to ask the Queen Mother to decide for him."
"...I see." Yuan Chunwang thought for a while, nodded, and asked, "By the way, who gave you this news."
The little eunuch glanced at him, lowered his eyes and said, "It's his apprentice."
Hearing this, Yuan Chunwang couldn't help laughing.
Look, everyone is just like him, ruthless, and takes people as the ladder, what does he have to regret
"Go and invite Director Wu to come." Yuan Chunwang played with the Wenwan walnut in his hand, and said slowly, "I have something to tell him."
In the secret room, it is dark.
Wu Shulai woke up leisurely, lost for a moment, and sat on the chair struggling and said, "Who? Which bastard tied your grandfather?"
His hands were tied behind the back of the chair, and a black ribbon was still covering his eyes. Suddenly, a hand reached out from the front, pulled down the black silk, and smiled, "It's me."
After seeing the other party's face clearly, Wu Shulai's face turned pale: "Yuan Chunwang, my position is so good for you, what else do you want to do?"
Yuan Chunwang helped his successor to eradicate Wei Yingluo, a serious confidant, and his successor would never treat him badly.
Under the pretext of poor supervision, Wu Shulai's position was subsequently removed and the position was given to Yuan Chunwang.
In some positions, it is easy to get down, but it is difficult to get up again. Wu Shulai was like a concubine who was put into a cold palace. She was extremely disheartened. She used alcohol to relieve her worries every day.
— but never thought that when he closed his eyes and opened his eyes, he was actually tied here.
"I warn you, don't mess around." Wu Shulai said sharply, "Although I'm down now, but in the end it's the one who was promoted by the Queen Mother, you... ah!!"
A short dagger plunged into his thigh, and blood spurted out, splashing on Yuan Chunwang's hand.
After loosening the hilt of the dagger, Yuan Chunwang took out a handkerchief and wiped his fingers carefully.
"It turns out that you are the Queen Mother's person." He smiled, "Then I will keep you even more, lest you go to the Queen Mother to complain..."
After he finished speaking, he pulled out the dagger, and blood spurted out. Wu Shulai screamed in pain, and kept shouting at Yuan Chunwang, "Stop, stop! I'll tell you a secret, and I'll save my life!"
"Secret?" Yuan Chunwang shook his head, "I don't think there is any secret that could be worth your life."
"Yes, yes!" Wu Shulai shouted, "I have a unique letter from Mrs. Wen Shu!"
"Mrs. Wen Shu?" Yuan Chunwang raised his eyebrows, "Who is that?"
"It's the emperor's wet nurse!" Wu Shulai said while hissing, "I was just a little eunuch in An Letang, and I was serving Mrs. Wen Shu before she died. This letter has been hidden for ten years, and I wanted to use it to save my life. Now I'll give it to you, give you this big secret! You let me go, let me go, okay?"
Yuan Chunwang smiled brightly, the torches burned on the wall beside him, his smile was between light and dark: "Then it depends on your news, whether it is worthwhile..."
A letter is enough to change a person's fate.
A bowl of soup is enough to change a person's fate.
After the incident of Bizitang, the Yanxi Palace completely became a cold palace, and there were not many people left. Except for a few caring ones, the others were either sent away by Wei Yingluo or left by themselves.
Mingyu came in with the food: "It's time to eat."
There was only Wei Yingluo, Xiaoquanzi and Zhuzhu in the room. Xiaoquanzi had been a thief with the sharpest eyes, staring at her face at once: "Sister Mingyu, your face..."
Mingyu's face was covered with a thick layer of powder, and as she walked around, the powder slag kept falling down, like a peasant girl who made a fortune overnight. face.
"The small kitchen doesn't fire now, it's all brought by the Imperial Tea Restaurant." Mingyu placed the food in front of Wei Yingluo, lowered her head and said, "The lotus root is the freshest at this time, and there are also long-lived dishes, this one. Cangsu millet cake is the most delicious, you can try it later."
Wei Yingluo stared at her face: "Sit down and eat with me."
Mingyu was afraid that she would see the clue and why she would stay, and immediately refused: "Even if there are only a few of us left now, it can't be out of line. I'll go down and eat with them."
She left in a hurry, leaving behind Wei Yingluo, with her chopsticks motionless, just staring at the food on the table.
In the evening, Xiao Quanzi came in quietly from the outside: "Master, I have found out."
The dishes on the table didn't move much, and in fact the dishes at noon didn't move much. Wei Yingluo had something in her heart and lost her appetite, so she turned to look at him: "Speak."
"Yes." Xiao Quanzi replied, "Today, when Mingyu went out, she was severely harassed by Shu Concubine, her hand was broken, and there was a bloodstain on her face..."
"...Nalan Chunxue." Wei Yingluo murmured the other party's name, and suddenly smiled sarcastically, "I don't go to provoke others, others come to provoke me, Xiao Quanzi, do you look at me as someone who can hold back his voice? ?"
she is not.
She can take off her wedding gown and rush into the palace in order to avenge her deceased sister, and she can put on her wedding gown to marry Hongli in order to take revenge for the queen, why swallow her anger? He is clearly a man who will be vindictive.
Unfortunately, people often forget this.
But it doesn't matter, she will let the other party remember, remember what kind of person she is...
A few days later, Shoukang Palace.
"The Queen Mother." Nalan Chunxue held a scroll of scriptures in her hands, "The concubine personally copied a scroll of the Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva Pumen Classics, and prayed that the Queen Mother would be healthy and happy."
The queen mother took it over: "Shu Concubine has a heart."
Nalan Chunxue pursed her lips and smiled, and her demeanor was very similar to that of the first queen, because she knew that the queen mother missed the first queen, so she always deliberately imitated her: "Concubine heard that the queen mother still lacks Huayan Sutra, if the queen mother does not dislike it, concubine The concubine is willing to continue copying scriptures for you."
"No need." Unexpectedly, the Queen Mother smiled, "Concubine Ling is copying the Huayan Sutra."
Nalan Chunxue's expression changed: "Concubine Ling?"
As soon as the bead curtain moved, a figure came out from behind the bead curtain, holding a scroll of scriptures in his arms, and said with a smile: "The queen mother, today I copied the scriptures, but the concubine's comprehension is not high, and the writing is dull, it seems that I have to read one first. I have read Master Chengguan's sparse notes."
The scriptures were unfolded in the hands of the queen mother, Lu Wanwan exclaimed and couldn't help shouting: "Blood Jing?"
Nalan Chunxue stared at the silk handkerchief wrapped around Wei Yingluo's wrist. The silk handkerchief was snow-white, but half-red with blood. She said word by word, "You copied scriptures with fresh blood?"
Because of the blood loss, Wei Yingluo's smile was a little pale: "The "Great Wisdom" says, if you truly love the Dharma, you should use your skin as the paper, the bones as the pen, and the blood to write it, only then will you appear sincere and sincere.
Nalan Chunxue gritted her teeth and said, "This paper is so ordinary, it's too perfunctory to make the concubine copy the scriptures for the queen mother?"
Wei Yingluo said calmly, "Shu Concubine uses magnetic blue paper, which is dark blue in color and brilliance, which is not comparable to ordinary paper. After all, this one costs a tael of silver, and it can be bought by ordinary people. 80 liters of rice, or 50 pounds of fresh fish."
When the queen mother heard this, she frowned and said displeasedly, "Shu Concubine, copying the scriptures is for self-cultivation and self-cultivation. It is so extravagant and wasteful, but it is not beautiful. From now on, you don't have to touch it again!"
After speaking, she turned to look at Wei Yingluo again, her brows eased, and she smiled kindly: "It's hard for you to be so devout. From tomorrow, accompany me to the Yinghua Hall to worship the Buddha."
Wei Yingluo bowed her head: "Thank the Queen Mother for her grace."
Afterwards, the queen mother pulled her to talk again, and left the others to one side. Nalan Chunxue lived like a year, and finally got to the queen mother's rest. Wanwan complained bitterly: "What a Wei Yingluo, seeing that the emperor has no hope here, and in a blink of an eye, he fell in love with the queen mother! I tried my best to prepare the magnetic blue paper, but it turned out to be a sin!"
Lu Wanwan persuaded: "Sister Nalan, the empress dowager believes in Buddhism, and the palace concubines often copy scriptures to please, but who dares to copy scriptures with blood. This is not a day or two, Huayan scriptures are compiled Eighty-one volumes, it will take more than ten years to copy, and I have made a promise to the Queen Mother, so I can't stop."
"Heh, I'm afraid it won't take ten years." Nalan Chunxue smiled viciously, "Maybe in three or two years, she would have died of blood!"
"Blood to death?"
Nalan Chunxue and Lu Wanwan turned around quickly, only to see Wei Yingluo coming behind them at some point.
"Concubine Ling." Lu Wanwan hurriedly greeted her, but Nalan Chunxue, who was beside her, was a little reluctant. Because she was being favored, she refused to salute the "waste concubine" in front of her.
So the next moment - pop!
Nalan Chunxue covered her face and looked at each other in disbelief: "You..."
"Shu Concubine." Wei Yingluo slapped her slightly red hands and smiled at her, "No matter how low this palace is, the ranking is far higher than you, and next time you dare to overstep, it will not be as simple as a slap in the face."
The reason why everyone dares to bully the people of Yanxi Palace is because they feel that Yanxi Palace has no backers.
Now that there is a backer like the Queen Mother, who would dare to take any action against the people of the Yanxi Palace, and disrespect the people of the Yanxi Palace - this Nalan Chunxue is an example.
Wei Yingluo led Xiao Quanzi and slowly walked past Nalan Chunxue. Nalan Chunxue also wanted to understand at this moment. No matter what she thought in her heart, at least she didn't dare to be disrespectful to her on the face, and stood upright. On the side, she seemed to send Wei Yingluo away.
Xiao Quanzi's face flushed with excitement. After returning to the palace, she went to the small kitchen to get a plate of braised pork to celebrate, but Wei Yingluo only glanced at it and touched it with chopsticks: "Take this dish and follow it with you. Mingyu, let them split."
"Master..." Xiao Quanzi said stunned, "but this dish is not to your taste?"
Wei Yingluo shook her head, stroked the handkerchief on her wrist, and murmured: "The Queen Mother originally had a blood scripture, but after a long time, the color turned black and black, and the Queen Mother often sighed that only a vegetarian and fasting monk copied it by himself. The blood of the meridian can keep the blood unstained, even the words are light gold…”
Xiao Quanzi looked at her in astonishment.
Wei Yingluo raised her head and gave him a pale smile and said, "From now on, this palace will also be fasting."
Use blood as the scripture, change a backer, change... the protection of the queen mother for you.
In Shoukang Palace, the incense of Buddha is like sandalwood.
Aunt Liu offered the first volume of blood scriptures in front of the Buddha, and then returned to the Queen Mother: "Queen Mother, why do you want to lift Concubine Ling?"
In the scent of sandalwood, the queen mother knelt on the golden futon, opened her eyes slowly, and fiddled with the rosary in her hand, she smiled kindly and said: "Wu Shulai was promoted by me back then, and the queen couldn't wait to replace her. Obviously ambitious. If the Forbidden City didn't have a concubine... it would be the queen's world."
