Is it ok to avoid it? Hua Chun asked her with his eyes.
Qing Niao nodded, although she didn't know how clever Monk Zhili was in Buddhist affairs, but she couldn't be provoked and could hide, so it wouldn't be so far away to hurt her, right
"Okay." Hua Chun nodded: "Then let Master Zhili come back, and I will go to Zichen Hall with you."
"yes."
Rui'er ran out to pass on the message, Hua Chun changed her clothes and led Qing Niao to walk slowly on the palace road. She has a big belly now, and it is not safe to sit on the shoulders, but taking a walk is good for her body.
Master Zhili was dragged back just as he was about to arrive at the Leng Palace, and the people around him were a little embarrassed. They were talking lively at first, but who would have thought that Concubine De would change her mind again.
"Our empress has a clear conscience." Rui'er said, "I thought it was troublesome at first, but after hearing what Master said was so serious, let's do something practical."
Zhili clasped his palms together and recited the Buddha's name, and asked the people behind him to spread out the things in the yard, and then waved the talisman paper around.
"The empress is not in this palace anymore?" After watching for a while, he suddenly asked.
Rui'er nodded: "Your Majesty doesn't like these things, she has already gone to Zichen Palace."
Zhili was taken aback for a moment, then turned his head to look in the direction of Zichen Hall, his eyes darkened.
The emperor was discussing matters in the front hall of the Zichen Hall. Hearing that Concubine De was willing to let the Hall of Mental Cultivation do something, he was relieved, and was about to go over to have a look after the discussion, when Eunuch Qin came in with a solemn expression: "Your Majesty, Master Zhili, please see me."
Standing next to them were reliable people like Tang Yue and Lu Sanbian, so the emperor didn't let him avoid him, and asked Zhili to come in directly.
"Your Majesty." Zhili looked serious, and after coming up to salute, he said: "The poor monk has found the root of the disaster."
"Oh?" Yu Wenjie pursed his lips: "What is it?"
"The poor monk's master once taught the poor monk some yin and yang words. If a person is reincarnated, has not erased his memory, and still has past life entanglements, then his body will be extremely yin, and it will harm the people around him after a long time." Zhili said. : "Although I don't know if this statement is correct, but the poor monk can speculate that the yin energy of the Hall of Mental Cultivation has nothing to do with the palace, but with the concubine Defei."
Heart sank, the emperor frowned: "How do you say that?"
"When the empress was in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, the poor monk could obviously feel that the Hall of Mental Cultivation was extremely dark. Once the empress left, the poor monk went to see the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and the Hall of Mental Cultivation was still considered normal." Zhili said: "In other words, it is also normal. It can only be related to the empress."
Everyone present gasped, and Yu Wenjie's face darkened: "If there is no conclusive evidence, the master's statement can be regarded as detrimental to Concubine De."
"The poor monk has no evidence." He said: "But the emperor can think about it in connection with the recent incidents. Why did all the good deeds done in the name of the concubine concubine go wrong? , will sudden disasters break out everywhere?"
Either there is something wrong with Concubine De, or there is something wrong with the child in her womb.
Tang Yue and Lu Sanbian glanced at each other and frowned slightly. The emperor was silent for a while, and asked, "What is the memory of the past life that the master said earlier?"
"That's what the poor monk master said. Some people will not drink Meng Po soup when they are reincarnated, and keep the memory of the previous life. People with such obsessions are usually lovers. In the next life, in order to find someone, they would rather endure the pain of purgatory. .”
It sounds absurd, and Lu Sanbian couldn't help interjecting: "If there is such a thing, then everyone must be willing to keep the memory of the previous life. Even if there is no one to look for, they can be a child prodigy since childhood."
"No." Zhili shook his head: "Everything has a price. It is written in the Buddhist scriptures that those who don't drink Mengpo soup will spend half a month in purgatory and suffer from the burning fire every day. Very human beings can bear it." , so if there is no deep-rooted obsession, no one will choose to keep the memory."
"The more you talk, the more magical you are." Tang Yue frowned and said, "Master's Buddhism is not well understood by us mortals, but if we use these things as a basis to blame the disaster on the concubine De, then the empress is too wronged gone."
Zhili bowed his head, he actually didn't have a solid mind, but now that people are more and more respected, he can only be more attentive, dig out what he has learned and talk about it.
The emperor lowered his eyes and said: "Prime Minister Tang is right. The Concubine De is pregnant and doesn't like doing things about the law. Since there is no definite evidence, then don't bother her. Let's leave the matter of the law for now, Master Please come back."
"Amitabha." Zhili saluted, sighed softly, turned around and followed the palace servants out.
The hall fell silent, Lu Sanbian and Tang Yue were both thinking about it, while the emperor frowned, and after thinking for a long time, he said, "Do you believe Zhili's words?"
Tang Yue and Lu Sanbian shook their heads together: "I don't believe in these things."
"Then what if it's true?" Yu Wenjie said with a serious tone: "What if she really retained the memory of her previous life..."
Lu Sanbian shook his head, just about to defend Concubine De, when he heard the emperor's next sentence: "Then who did she love in her previous life? She was so persistent?"
Lu Sanbian: "..."
Is that the point? The point shouldn't be that if Zhili's words are taken seriously, then if the Concubine De is kept, there will be continuous disasters in Daliang!
Not knowing whether to laugh or cry, Tang Yue said: "It seems that His Majesty really likes Your Majesty very much."
With a straight face, the emperor said: "It's just a woman, talk about whether you like it or not. You go to work first, and deal with the disaster relief."
"Yes." The two agreed and exited together.
In ancient times, science was underdeveloped, and the level of superstition about ghosts and gods was 80% higher than that of modern times. Therefore, even though everyone said they didn't believe it, they still had some doubts in their hearts.
Back in the apse, Yu Wenjie stared at Hua Chun, and carefully looked it up from top to bottom.
"What's wrong?" Hua Chun raised an eyebrow.
"Have you... ever regretted entering the palace?" He asked.
Why are you asking this all of a sudden? Hua Chun was very surprised, but still thought about it seriously: "There is nothing to regret."
Feeling relieved, Yu Wenjie hooked his lips for the first time, looking very happy.
Even if she had some serious fetters in her previous life, judging by her choices in this life, she must have something to do with him, so he can rest assured.
"Did Master Zhili tell you anything?" Hua Chun asked with a frown.
The emperor shook his head: "He said that everything in the palace is normal, and there will be no strange things happening after the ceremony."
"That's it, that's good." Hua Chun nodded: "The concubine will return to the Hall of Mental Cultivation."
"Let's spend here tonight." The emperor said, "Aren't you afraid that walking around will tire you?"
