Guan Suyi fell to the ground and gasped for breath. The Emperor Sheng Yuan, who was holding her, stepped forward quickly and took off the painting on the wall to check it. His deeply contoured face was hidden in the darkness, and his expression was invisible, but the hand holding the picture frame trembled slightly, obviously suppressing intense emotions.
It seemed that he wanted to see more clearly, but was troubled by the dim light. He walked back and forth in the temple, looking for the light source. The rapid and messy steps indicated the turmoil in his heart. After all, he couldn't bear the crampedness and darkness in the Buddhist hall. He wanted to put the painting down, but he couldn't find a clean place.
"Hold it for me." His voice was hoarse.
Guan Suyi hurriedly sat up on her knees, took the print with both hands, and placed it on her knees smoothly.
Emperor Shengyuan walked to a wall and ripped off the wall. It turns out that this Buddhist temple is not without doors and windows, but is all nailed to the wood. As long as they are removed, countless golden rays of light will be cast one after the other. When they come in, the strong sandalwood and fishy smell all rush out of the window, replacing them. It's ice-cold fresh air.
From hell to earth, but only a moment. Guan Suyi narrowed her eyes slightly, and had the urge to cry. A tall figure walked towards her under the shadow of the radiant light, shrouding her in shadows again. She immediately restrained her emotions, presented the print respectfully, and quickly glanced around.
Without the cover of darkness, the scene in the palace was countless times more terrifying than what she had seen before. The ground was almost covered with blood, and her embroidered shoes and skirt had already been wet. shocking. She was startled by her appearance, looked up, but was even more horrified.
Compared with her embarrassment, Emperor Shengyuan wearing a dark coat seems very normal, but every time he takes a step, he will leave a wet, blood-soaked footprint on the ground, and there is something thick and dazzling flowing from the heavy clothes. liquid.
Where is this Buddhist hall, but the blood pool hell, the person in front of him is clearly the Shura who climbed up from hell! Guan Suyi tried her best to suppress her inner fear, and she also knew better that her life and death catastrophe was not over yet. She lowered her eyelids, not daring to look around, and even her breathing became cautious.
"How can you be sure," Emperor Sheng Yuan stared at the painting and asked in a deep voice, "This person is taking a child by caesarean?"
Guan Suyi answered truthfully, "The woman in the painting is already covered in bruises and bruises, her life is dying, and she has no spare energy to give birth to a child. She has no other way but to open her belly and take the child out. This is up to you men. It may be unbelievable, but as a woman, I can understand her feelings. If it were me, I would have made the same choice in the face of the same danger. The greatness of a mother's love is far beyond the imagination of the world, and they are willing to do it for themselves The child will give everything." If the woman in the painting is the emperor's biological mother, it would not be wrong to say a few good things about the other party.
Her guess was obviously correct. The man's hostile face was slowly softening, and his red eyes were dripping with tears, as if he was holding back his grief.
"How do you know that the wound on her wrist was cut by herself and not caused by the devil's bite?" he asked again.
"Judging from the painting, one of the child's feet is still curled up in the mother's belly and has not been completely taken out, but the wound on the woman's wrist has already existed. Which one did she not cut by herself? She is about to die. If others fail to help as soon as possible, she will always find a way to keep her child alive for a few more days. Apart from her own blood, she may not be able to find better food. Again, the mother is always willing to sacrifice for her child. everything."
"Children are the blood of their mothers, and they are the continuation of their lives." Speaking of the last sentence, Guan Suyi looked up at Emperor Shengyuan, and was stunned. I saw the other party holding the print and staring silently, two lines of hot tears flowed from his dark blue eyes, his lips opened and closed, as if he was about to speak, but because his throat was blocked with so much mourning, it was difficult to say anything.
Judging from the shape of his mouth, he should be calling "Mother", one, two, three... However, that person is long gone, and he doesn't know who to tell his thoughts and love.
Guan Suyi's eyes were hot and she almost burst into tears, then she buried her head and waited for the final sentence. As the so-called "do your best to obey the destiny", everything that needs to be said has been said, whether or not he can go back alive depends on the mood of the person.
Emperor Sheng Yuan was silent for nearly two quarters of hours before asking in a hoarse voice, "Can you recite the Rebirth Mantra?"
"Yes." Guan Suyi replied quickly.
"Then read it." He pulled the futon and sat down cross-legged, holding the print in both hands, as if he was staring intently, and it seemed that his soul had left the body, and he didn't know where it had gone.
Guan Suyi licked her dry lips and chanted the rebirth mantra in a slow and soft voice, repeating it over and over again, twenty-one times before she stopped. It is said that chanting the rebirth mantra twenty-one times each day and night can eliminate the four heavy sins, the five sins of disobedience, and the ten evil karma, and all desires in this world can be obtained as desired. The mother in the painting has endured such great pain for her child, and I wish her a safe, healthy and carefree life in the next life.
It has never been so easy for Emperor Sheng Yuan to let go of his burdens and get rid of his inner demons. He sat in the palace full of blood and sunshine, his soul was exhausted to the extreme, but there was still a sense of stillness. The soft incantations with a unique charm kept coming from his ears, causing him to close his eyes uncontrollably and slowly fall asleep.
Finding that Emperor Shengyuan was sitting and falling asleep, Guan Suyi stopped chanting, with a blank expression. Without permission, she naturally did not dare to leave, but after kneeling for a long time, her legs and feet would inevitably feel numb, so she wanted to stand up and stretch. As soon as she straightened up, she saw a man in black appearing out of nowhere and gave a silent command, "Continue reading."
Guan Suyi couldn't, so she lowered her volume and continued to recite the rebirth mantra. She caught a glimpse of Emperor Shengyuan who was sleeping very deeply, and thought to herself in bitterness: Just save this tyrant.
After half an hour, Emperor Shengyuan woke up leisurely, and there was still a trace of malice in his blue eyes, all full of energy and high spirits. A man in black immediately presented a secret letter and whispered a few words in his ear. Guan Suyi had no intention of inquiring, but endured and endured, and finally asked without fear of death, "Dare to ask your majesty if you can give the court lady a pot of tea? If it's cold, the court lady's throat is about to smoke."
Emperor Shengyuan seemed to tick the corners of his lips, waved his hand and said, "Bring tea to Mrs. Guan."
Changed his name to Mrs. Guan, and the secret letter should contain the information of the eighteenth generation of the ancestors of the Guan family. Guan Suyi knew it, but she didn't feel angry, and was willing to spend energy on herself, which showed that the other party had given up the idea of killing someone. She breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't wait to pour three cups of herbal tea, which made her feel better, then poured three more cups and sipped it.
Emperor Shengyuan sat opposite and looked at her from head to toe several times, his eyes full of interest.
After drinking a pot of tea, Guan Suyi respectfully said, "Your Majesty, the minister's wife entered the forbidden area by mistake, please forgive me. Ye Jieyu is still waiting for the minister's wife in Ganquan Palace, can you please allow the minister's wife to retire first?" A thin layer of sweat broke out, knowing that whether he was alive or dead, it was all between the other party's words.
Emperor Shengyuan stared at her for a moment, and when her scalp was numb and almost unable to hold back, she flicked her sleeves, "Go."
Guan Suyi's heart was beating violently, but she was very calm on the surface. She was going to kowtow to thank her, but she had to stop when she saw the half-coagulated blood on the ground, so she bowed deeply instead. She let out a sigh of relief and was about to leave when she walked out of the palace door, but saw a man in black come out holding a delicate box, "This is a gift from Your Majesty to Ye Jieyu, she must check it on the spot. I'd like to ask Mrs. Guan to help you carry it."
Guan Suyi took it with both hands and bowed again to the gate of the palace before heading to Ganquan Palace under the leadership of another servant. She thought about it all the way, she really couldn't understand why Ye Jieyu put herself to death. She is Ye Zhen's sister, but the other party drowned long before she passed the door, and she has no enmity or enmity with her at all. Even if it is to support Ye Fan, it is enough to beat a few words at most. Why use a knife to kill? Where did they come from such a big hatred
This question can only be answered by Ye Zhen herself. Ever since she was exposed by Emperor Shengyuan and poured Lishun wine, she has stripped off her clothes like a slut and went mad in the palace. The eunuchs, palace maids, and guards couldn't stand her harassment, and ran away. In the end, she Only rubbing against the bedpost all night.
When she woke up the next day, she finally understood what it meant to be ashamed and want to die. It turned out that when she was ashamed to the extreme, she really didn't have the courage to live. She's just a clown for fun, jumping up and down, thinking she's glamorous, but in fact she's been demoted to nothing.
What is even more terrifying is that after the fight, Emperor Shengyuan will still come to Ganquan Palace, see her embarrassed and silent, and let her continue to cherish Zhao Luli, saying that she likes her performance very much, which is lively and interesting. But this couldn't save Ye Zhen in the slightest, instead it made her fall into deeper despair and shame.
She couldn't stand Emperor Sheng Yuan's humiliation, and was even more afraid of being slashed by a thousand swords in the future. In desperation, she could only write to her father and Zhao Luli for help. Ye Quanyong can't protect himself, how can he take care of her? Zhao Luli was even more ruthless, and he broke up with her directly.
Ye Zhen, who was already on the verge of collapse, couldn't stand the stimulation, and went crazy on the spot. Zhao Luli wants to throw her away and start a new life? Very good, then she will destroy everything he cares about! Please seal? Chasing is almost the same.
After waiting for half an hour, Mrs. Zhenbeihou didn't see Mrs. Zhenbei's arrival at Ganquan Palace. Ye Zhen waved her hand and said, "Put the refreshment away, go to the imperial study and notify Mr. Zhao, saying that Mrs. Guan is missing, let him find it by himself."
Yong He bowed to take orders, and as soon as he walked out of the palace gate, he saw a woman with a vulgar appearance and a high temperament slowly approaching. Embarrassed. Yong He was greatly surprised, but without revealing his face at all, he brought people in to meet the empress.
After the salute, Guan Suyi put the heavy box on the table, and said warmly, "Just now I entered the forbidden area and bumped into the emperor, so I came a step late, please forgive me. This is a gift from the emperor to the goddess, saying yes Let the mother-in-law open it up."
Ye Zhen knew that something was wrong, but she couldn't shirk it. She opened the lid of the box and looked inside, and she was so frightened that she fell apart. Guan Suyi was also stunned, but because of too much stimulation, her brain was already dead, and she just sat firmly in place.
There was no gift in the box, but the head of the servant who had brought her to the Buddhist hall. His eyes were wide open, and he was obviously dead.
