blind concubine

Chapter 39

Chenfo Temple is located on Qingding Mountain in the suburb of Wofo County.

The trees on Qingding Mountain are flourishing all the year round, and the greenery forms a forest. The Temple of the Reclining Buddha is the largest temple in the Qingling Dynasty.

Being awarded as a national temple, it is naturally more solemn than ordinary temples, not to mention that the queen empress is here, so not only is there guards outside the Reclining Buddha Temple, but some pilgrims who come to offer incense are also strictly inspected.
There are also Yamen arresters in Wofo County, who take turns guarding here...

I'm afraid that if something goes wrong, none of them can afford the consequences!

Inside the elegant and solemn Daxiong Hall, the empress of the dynasty is kneeling on the cushion, closing her eyes and clasping her hands together, praying devoutly to the golden Buddha above...

"Amitabha, my Buddha is merciful!" The long and quiet voice has penetrating power, from near to far...

The kneeling man opened his eyes, stood up calmly, and saluted respectfully: "Master Liaoran"

"The almsgiver is devoted to the Buddha, has he gained enlightenment?" The person who came was Master Liaoran, the abbot of the Reclining Buddha Temple.There is boundless and endless peace in the benevolent eyes.The queen turned her gaze away from those calm eyes, because in this way, she would see the unmistakable insight in the other's eyes, just like him...

"Amitabha, my Buddha is merciful!" The distant voice spread far away, and the queen's demons have always lived in the deepest part of her heart!I don't know when will she be willing to release her demons?
"When the benefactor is truly enlightened, he will see the beauty of the world clearly." Is she the only one who has too much obsession in the world?Master Liaoran thought of the people in the wing room. Over the years, seeing the unceasing obsession between the Queen Mother and the Seventh Prince, a sigh floated in his heart... If the authorities don't wake up, no one in the world can help them ?

"Your Majesty..." The maid of the close palace went up to the right to support the Empress Empress.

The queen looked at Master Yuanyun's back, and turned her eyes back to the Golden Buddha. The beauty in the world?What kind of beauty is there in the world?She also wanted to look away, to be truly relieved, but... even the heavens didn't allow her!
"Where's the Seventh Prince?" He casually asked the maid beside him.

"The Seventh Prince is in the wing room" Zhenyou heard the empress ask about the Seventh Prince, complexities flashed in her eyes, and then she stepped forward to help the Queen to the outer hall as if nothing had happened...

"Tell him to have dinner with me!"

"Yes" the servant girl replied respectfully,

Royal Palace
The eighth prince, Ning Tiankang, stared at his father, who was reviewing the memorial, and after thinking about it for a long time, he still asked out his doubts!
"Father, why did you agree to let Seventh Brother accompany the Empress to rest?" In this period, if he hadn't always known that Father really wanted to pass on the throne to Seventh Brother, he would have skipped a long time ago.

The emperor seemed not to have heard Ning Tiankang's words, put down the notebook in his hand, and looked up at Ning Tiankang standing in front of him, with complicated eyes.

"Kang'er, what's the current situation in the court?" The emperor rubbed his brows wearily. The tension in the court has become more and more tense in the past two days. It's not that he doesn't know, it's just that he can't do anything!

"Some ministers in the central court have not expressed their position, and they are still waiting and watching, but most of them support Brother Six..." Ning Tiankang frowned: "And Brother Six has also received the support of the Yun Family." He said It is suspected that Brother Liuhuang still has power behind the scenes!
"Then what are you going to do?" the emperor asked calmly.The sixth child is indeed the biggest threat now!

"My son has been to Xiangye's mansion, and Xiangye will not come out again, but he also tried his best to help me, so I have to find a way by myself.

Erchen is going to advance the wedding date. "Ning Tiankang said lightly.

The "Shui family" emperor secretly weighed the gains and losses in this.

"Yes, the Shui Mansion and the Yan family are married, and Miss Shui becomes the Eighth Imperial Concubine, so the Shui and Yan families will weigh the relationship!" Now he can only do this!This is why he is standing here now.He wanted to put Seventh Brother on the throne at all costs.

Not only the expectation of the father, but also his expectation!
"There are still three days left for the three kings to enter the capital. It's too late, Kanger." The emperor looked at the persistence on Ning Tiankang's face and sighed softly. Could it be that this is really God's will, but his temporary benevolence has buried the current situation.They are all his sons, but there is only one throne!Now he can only watch them fratricide each other... He seemed to see the scene of that year again... He has been in power for 40 years. one off.

The emperor lowered his eyes, he was born in the royal family, of course he knows that there is no such thing as family, flesh and blood, siblings in the hearts of the members of the royal family!This is also arranged by the heavens, it gave the royal family supreme power, but also took back the most ordinary love, destined to be lonely!It's too cold at the heights...

"Kang'er, secretly summon He'er to return to the capital. After your seventh elder brother returns to Beijing, pass on the decree. When the three kings return to the capital, the seventh prince Ning Tianhe will receive him on my behalf." As long as the decree is given, the candidate for the crown prince in his heart will be revealed. up!Hope it's not too late!
Ning Tiankang was overjoyed when he heard the words. His father's move undoubtedly told the ministers in the court that his favorite candidate for the crown prince was Seventh Brother?

"Thank you, Father, I'm going to inform Seventh Brother to return to Beijing." Father's decision will definitely catch Sixth Brother by surprise, Ning Tiankang sneered in his heart.

The emperor glanced at Ning Tiankang, with a touch of relief in his eyes.

"Will Kang'er complain about the father?" When he saw the deep relationship between Kang'er and He'er, he was surprised and put pressure on Kang'er to become He'er's strength. For Kang'er, It's not fair!
Ning Tiankangjun had a cold face, and his tone was flat: "Father, I never did this for my father, but for my seventh brother. Seventh brother is the last warmth in my heart." He grew up in the harem since he was a child , seeing all the fighting openly and secretly, stepping on the ground covered with bones, his heart has long been cold and ruthless, except for Seventh Brother!

Ning Tiankang looked at the father with a gloomy expression, and lowered his eyes, "Father, it is not me that you owe the most, but Seventh Brother, although I don't understand why Father would let Seventh Brother approach the empress. My son doesn't believe the empress." He has been checking the empress, but there is no clue, the concubine mother once said that the empress is the one who executed the seventh brother and mother concubine!But there is no living story about what happened back then.He tried to check but couldn't find it.

The emperor's face changed, and he replied indifferently: "Although your marriage with Miss Shui can't be brought forward, you can spend more time with the Shui family. Kneel down!" The emperor's heart was churning because of Ning Tiankang's words... ...Queen, you can't forgive me, I have nothing to say, but will you really take your anger on He'er?He is the most innocent...

Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed the change in his father's expression, and thought to himself, what kind of secret does the Empress have?How could the father change his face when he mentioned her?But what does this have to do with Seventh Brother?

Shuifu Nanwan
Shui Bingyu nervously let the maids dress her up, thinking that the eighth prince's soft sedan chair was still waiting outside the mansion, she couldn't help feeling hot in her ears, why did he have time to invite her out of the mansion today?
The second lady hurried in: "Yu'er, are you ready?" The eighth prince's people are still waiting outside the door?As soon as the second lady entered the door, she saw Shui Bingyu, who was beautifully dressed, with a satisfied expression on her face. Yu'er looks extremely good, and she is a match made in heaven with the eighth prince. If... the eighth prince ascends the throne and proclaims himself emperor, isn't Yu'er the queen?Thinking of this, the second lady's eyes had a dazzling light...

"Miss, the Eighth Prince sent someone to pick up the Fourth Miss out of the residence." Xianghan told Shui Bingxuan the news.

Shui Bingxuan gracefully put down the pen, picked up the picture at hand, and curved her lips when she heard Xianghan's words.Ning Tiankang finally made a move!
"Your Majesty, the Eighth Prince is here to pick up the Seventh Prince back to the capital." Zhen You looked at the empress who was attending Buddha, and said in a low voice.

"Let him go..." Maybe it's time for this to end.

Three days later, at three o'clock in the afternoon, the weather became hotter and hotter, and the summer quietly occupied the originally comfortable climate. Both sides of the avenue to the imperial city are full of people, regardless of the heat, sweating profusely, but everyone's eyes are full of excitement, wanting to see the demeanor of the Three Kings with their own eyes!
The three fief princes cannot return to Beijing privately unless there is an imperial decree. This is the ancestral precept of the Qingling Dynasty. Today, the princes from the east, west and south came to Beijing together. This is also a big event for the Qingling Dynasty!So early in the morning, the common people all came out to watch the excitement...

And an imperial decree from the emperor also caused a shock in the court!The emperor actually let the seventh prince receive the three kings?What does this mean?The answer is not difficult to guess!It turns out that the emperor's favorite candidate for the crown prince is actually the seventh prince, Ning Tianhe!
Ning Tianqi's face was livid, and he didn't say a word. The fingers holding the cup turned white from the strength, and he might want to crush the cup in his hand to vent his anger...

"Dong Butler"'s deep and cold words reveal a viciousness that makes people's heart tremble. The emperor wants to make Ning Tianhe the crown prince regardless of everything. Do you think he can't stop it?He let the world see, who can stand in the high position in the end?

"Master" Steward Dong bowed his head respectfully, and the corner of his mouth twitched, but it wasn't a smile!It was a sense of relief, so that the next gift he gave to the emperor would be meaningful...

"What good idea do you have?" Ning Tianqi looked straight at Steward Dong.The corners of the mouth also curled slightly.

"Back to the Sixth Prince, I have an idea, but I don't know if the Sixth Prince agrees or not?" Feeling Ning Tianqi's gaze on him, Dong Lin's body paused slightly, his face naturally calm, and he followed Ning Tianqi After so long, he naturally knew that Ning Tianqi was not an idiot!But so what?He calculated that Ning Tianqi would definitely agree with his plan!

Dong Guan leaned forward and whispered... Ning Tianqi looked at Dong Butler with an enigmatic expression on his face, and a stern light flashed in his eyes, as fast as lightning!

"I don't know what the Sixth Prince wants?" Dong Lin stepped back a few steps and asked respectfully.
