The story of the husband and the son of the doctor and daughter of Houmen

Chapter 824 Urgent order to return to Beijing (3)
"Master Chen?" Yao Yanyu glanced at a big tree next to him in surprise, and then looked at Chen Bingyi.Can use so many masters, let Chen Bingyi personally lead the way, is there another person in the Dayun Dynasty besides the emperor?

Chen Bingyi smiled helplessly, and cupped his hands towards Yao Yanyu: "Master Yao, please."

After entering the nunnery, I went straight to an elegant Buddhist temple in the backyard without any hindrance.

In the monastery, there were twenty or thirty guards on duty outside. After seeing Chen Bingyi, these people bowed and saluted one after another.Chen Bingyi waved his hand to signal everyone to return to their positions, Fang whispered to Yao Yanyu: "The emperor has an order, saying that Master Yao is here, please go in directly."

After Yao Yanyu clapped her hands and answered "yes", she went forward and pushed open the door of the Zen room, and walked in directly.

The meditation room is very plainly furnished, with gray carpets, a white-clothed Dashi in the center, a white porcelain vase with two lotus leaves and a lotus pod on the incense table, a scroll of scriptures and a wooden fish on the table.In front of the table is a cushion of yellow satin inlaid with ocher satin.

On the left hand side is a rattan four-panel screen. Behind the screen is a Zen bed. A man in a bright yellow robe is kneeling in front of the bed. Needless to say, that is the current Emperor Jinglong.

Yao Yanyu hurriedly bowed and kowtowed: "My minister Yao Yanyu, kowtow to the emperor."

"Madam Yao? Come quickly." The emperor's voice was full of eagerness.

Yao Yanyu hurriedly got up and turned the screen, looked up and saw a nun with a gray complexion lying on the Zen bed, wearing a blue-gray monk's hat on her head, and a ocher quilt covering her body, her eyes were closed tightly, and there was no trace of life.

For a moment Yao Yanyu suddenly realized that this person should be the legendary Concubine Shu, the biological mother of the current emperor, who became a monk for the country to pray for rain.

After guessing the identity of this person, Yao Yanyu hurriedly stepped forward without daring to be careless.

"Quickly, let's see what's wrong with my mother and concubine." The emperor stepped aside and urged.

Yao Yanyu didn't dare to say too much, so she hurried forward and half-kneeled in front of the Zen bed to feel the pulse of this Concubine Shu.After a while, Yao Yanyu turned around and knelt down towards the emperor with a troubled expression on his face.

"How is it?" the emperor asked eagerly.

"My Majesty, please forgive me for my incompetence. Your Majesty has not had water or rice for many days, and the lamp is already dry."

"I haven't had rice for many days..." The emperor was surprised, but he smiled helplessly, "Mother and concubine actually went on a hunger strike and begged to die... How can this be called my love?!"

"Your Majesty, I have the courage to say something." Yao Yanyu thought to himself, if the news of Concubine Shu's death from a hunger strike spread, the Emperor will be charged with a serious crime.

At this time, there are only two of them, the monarch and his ministers. Although these words came from the mouth of the emperor, most people in the world would not believe them, so wouldn't they be his own words?Is this okay?If you create such a rumor, you may not die ten or eight times before it gets dark.

"Tell me." Emperor Jing Long was in extreme grief now, and his voice was hoarse and weak.

"I heard that even eminent monks who have attained the Tao can understand life and death. My lady has practiced before the Buddha for so many years, she should have seen through the world of mortals, and she should have understood the day when she will become a Buddha immediately, so she went on a hunger strike to purify herself, so that she can go to see him." West Heaven Buddha."

If this was in his previous life, Yao Yanyu would think that this was basically nonsense.

But since she traveled here inexplicably, she also believed in the things of the gods, at least some things should have been preordained long ago.The so-called causal cycle should be so.

Besides, most eminent monks are like this. They can predict the year, month and day when they will die, so after calculating the time, they start not to eat. No more water.Then sit in place and go to meet the Buddha.

So what Yao Yanyu said was not nonsense.At least, Emperor Jinglong believed it right now.

"Can you let her stay for a few more days?" The emperor sat beside the meditation bed, reaching out to hold Concubine Shu's bony hand.

"Your majesty, this is the wish of the empress, and I cannot bear to disobey it." In fact, using the Taiyi magic needle can delay death, but the patient is already in this state, or it is just a few more days of suffering.

"That's what you said." Emperor Jing Long nodded slowly, with two lines of clear tears streaming down the corners of his eyes.

"Your majesty, you are going to accompany your mother to talk, and I will leave first."

"Go. Oh, it's all right here, go and see Prince Heng for me."

For a moment Yao Yanyu thought she had heard it wrong, she looked at the emperor in surprise, not knowing what the words meant.

"You pass a message for me, that Concubine Hui died, and I know he is very sad. Now my mother is about to die... I am as motherless as him. However, he is still happier than me. "

Yao Yanyu tried her best to remember the emperor's incomprehensible words in her heart, then kowtowed again and retreated.

After coming out of Cixin Nunnery, Yao Yanyu rode back to the capital.She didn't go directly to the Prince Heng's Mansion - just kidding, how could she visit the Prince's Mansion in the dusty world?At least go home and take a shower and change clothes.

Everything in Ninghou's mansion remained the same, when Zhang Qiang saw his wife's sudden arrival, he was so startled that he didn't speak for a long time.

Then the servants and maids were busy for a while, and the fragrant soup for bathing, various snacks and tea were all ready.

Yao Yanyu soaked in the fragrant hot water, while eating hibiscus cake and drinking eight-treasure tea, while silently thinking about the few words the emperor said, now that she is slowly recalling it, she can understand something.There must be some unknown stories between Concubine Hui and Concubine Shu, right?
But this is all the old almanac of the past, and it is estimated that no one is willing to read it now.

Early the next morning, Yao Yanyu changed into a clean moon-white dress and took a carriage to Hengjun Palace.

At this time, Concubine Shu's funeral was over. At that time, King Heng was lying in the carriage to deliver the funeral. After returning, he was bedridden and had only half his life left.

Yao Yanyu's carriage stopped at the gate of Hengjun Wang's mansion, and asked Xu Shiyang to hand over his name card, and told him that he was prescribed by the emperor's oral order to see Hengjun Wang's doctor.

The servants of the Prince Heng's Mansion did not dare to be negligent, and rushed in to report the news in a panic. After a while, the middle door of the Prince Heng's Mansion opened wide, and Yun Yue, the eldest son of King Heng Jun, came out with a large group of housekeepers and servants.

Yao Yanyu looked at the situation and thought that they must have regarded me as the emperor's spy.

Yunyue invited Yao Yanyu to serve tea in the main hall. Yao Yanyu looked at this young man in his teens with a jade-like face, modest and gentle, with a well-mannered appearance, and thought that he was indeed the son of King Hengjun. Same hook.

After Yao Yanyu said a few words to the young master, he smiled and said, "Your Majesty, let's take the officials to see the prince. The emperor ordered the officials to see the prince. There are still a few words to convey."

Yun Yue cupped his hands and said, "If that's the case, then Lao Yao will be sentenced."
