After all, who lost whom: broken glass

Chapter 25 Youzhou (1)
On the day I arrived in Youzhou, there was a strong wind, the wind was yellow, and the yellow sand was flying all over the sky, hitting my face and hurting.The market is still bustling, there are merchants in fancy clothes yelling and selling things, and there are also beautiful women frivolously walking through the long street.

Liu Luo discussed with Qin You and said, "Let's go live in Xilin Temple." Qin You naturally had no reason to object.

Going to Xilin Temple, passing by a vermilion lacquer mansion, a good person pointed out: "That house is the residence of the Marquis who disobeyed his orders." Rong Yusui walked not slowly, but he could clearly see that the two stone lions outside the door were very mighty, Another tree branch protruded from the Hou's mansion, and Rong Yu could see it clearly, it turned out to be the Phoenix flower - Phoenix flower can grow in this barbaric place, but I don't know how much manpower and material resources are spent.

Rong Yu looked back for a long time, turned his face, and saw that Liu Luo was also watching, and couldn't help but think: Yes, this was originally his grandmother's residence, so the so-called seeing things and thinking about people is like this.But it never occurred to Liu Luo that he had never seen his grandmother.

Disobeying the order of the Marquis's Mansion and going forward for dozens of miles, he saw a temple with red tiles and blue walls, which was very neat. Rong Yu thought it was Xilin Temple, and he wanted to stop, but the people and horses still moved forward and walked hundreds more One step, see a tower, the tower is a hundred feet high, pointing directly at the sky, and then go forward for more than ten steps, there are hundreds of steps, a vermilion gate, the entrance to see the treasure is solemn, upright and bright, so that people will only feel a shock when they see it , If there is Buddha's light shining everywhere, all kinds of thoughts will have nowhere to hide. Only then can we know that the quiet place of Buddhism cannot be desecrated.

Rong Yu has lived in the capital for many years, and on major festivals, he would go to the temple with all his concubines to offer incense. He also went to Huguo Temple a lot, but he didn't have such a grandeur.

Just as he was thinking about it, a well-known guest monk from the temple came up to him and asked, "Are you here to offer incense or stay overnight?"

Qin You clasped his hands together, said "Amitabha", and said, "I am envoy to the country of Jing by the order of the emperor. It's getting late today, so I want to stay in your temple for one night." He was in a high position, but he was rarely humbled.

The monk who knew the guest returned a salute and said: "Since you are a distinguished guest, please wait a moment, let the little monk ask the abbot to come out."

Qin Xiangdao: "So, it's very disturbing."

The Zhike monk saluted and turned to go in, but after a while, a middle-aged monk came out, with a fat body, a shiny face, and very small eyes, he would ignore it if he didn't pay attention.When Rong Yu saw it, he thought: In such famous temples and ancient temples, even monks who know guests have a strong character, why does the abbot look like this?Although he didn't say anything, his heart felt contemptuous.

The abbot Jishou said: "Everyone has come from afar, let the little monk arrange it." While talking and ordering, he had already arranged all the people and horses in a short time, with no difference in respect and etiquette. .

She is a woman in the deep palace, and she doesn't care about Buddhism and Dharma at all. She just finds this monk not pleasing to the eye, and always wants to find fault.

The whole group was also tired, and they filed in after the Zhigu monk. When Liu Luo was about to go in, the abbot's eyes stopped on his face for a while, and he said, "Dare to ask the benefactor's name?" Qin Xiang sent the greeting card early, and he was dressed luxuriously, and his bearing and behavior were different from others. It was too late to deny it, so he had to admit it: "Miangui, his surname is Liu." .”

There is great respect in the words.

Rong Yu looked at him a few more times, thinking in his heart: This monk thinks so much about Liu Luo, maybe he has something to do with the Liu family, he can recognize Liu Luo's surname from Liu Luo's appearance, most likely this monk has seen Lin Lang before. .

She originally thought that Linlang was only active in the capital area, but for some reason she went to Youzhou and set up such a desolate temple in Yangzhou. There seemed to be more and more strange things in it. Luo came here to investigate the affairs of the previous generation, Linlang... Could it be that Linlang also came to Youzhou for the matter of King Pingyi and Princess Xuanji?

She had never thought about this possibility before, or subconsciously refused to think about it - if so, what Lin Lang committed was more than a seven-way rule.

But there is another possibility, that is, Lin Lang came here to collect the body of King Ping Yi - this is perfectly normal, she came with King Ping Liu, so the monk easily knew that Liu Luo's surname was Liu.

Thinking in this direction, Rong Yu felt much more comfortable.

The dinner was served at Xilin Temple. Although it was a vegetarian dish, it was really delicious. There was only a very small dish in front of each person. It was light and delicious, with a long aftertaste. Rong Yu remembered that Xin Yu usually likes to eat this kind of taste. It is also a beautiful thing to be able to learn a thing or two from the master in the temple - she avoids thinking about what will happen after returning to the palace, as if she is still the Concubine Rong of Cuihuju, loved by three thousand people, she used to be like this, and she will also be like this in the future. so.

——A person who doesn't even dare to think about the future is probably a very sad thing. The saddest thing is that as long as he thinks about it, he will be desperate forever.

Rong Yu was arranged to rest in the wing next to Liu Luo. The wing was very tidy, and all the facilities were exquisite and interesting. No wonder she was able to live in Xilin Temple without feeling wronged as the proud daughter of Princess Xuanji.

Rong Yu thought about it for a while, and was really tired, so he fell into a deep sleep.

When everyone got up early the next morning, everyone had arrived, but Liu Luo, Prince of Pingjun, was the only one. Qin Ni sent someone to invite her, and came back after a while to report, "Prince Pingjun is not good!" Qin You was the most, he rushed over in three steps and two steps, followed by Zhu Ying.

Rong Yu knew that she was pregnant and was not good at walking, so she just walked slowly behind the crowd, when she arrived, Liu Luo's room was already full of people, Zhu Ying was sitting by the bed, holding Liu Luo's pulse, with a very serious expression.Because of the distance, Liu Luo's expression was invisible, but she was lying on the bed, and a soldier next to her described it as "no breath at all."

Rong Yu thought to himself: After one night, why is it so serious all of a sudden?Is it because the lingering poison has not been cleared up before, or was someone plotting against him?Because Liu Luo's performance was extremely unstable all the way, Rong Yu felt that the former was more likely. After all, Lin Lang used poison, and no one could guess what the consequences would be. Old lady, it took a lot of thought for others to plot against him.

Didn't he say that as long as Zhu Ying is around, even a peacock with a red crown is fine?This shows the real kung fu, Rong Yu thought gloatingly, she did not believe that Liu Luo would die, the so-called good people don't live long, and the evil stays for thousands of years.

However, the faces of the people around are very ugly, especially Qin Chaoyou. It can be seen that he is still calm, but there is a lot of anxiety in his calmness. He tentatively asked Zhu Ying: "Guard Zhu, Prince Ping... how about it?" Already?" Seeing how cautious he was from afar, Rong Yu couldn't help being suspicious.It took Zhu Ying a long time to let out a long sigh, let go and said: "Forgive me, if there is no accident, please ask Xiangye to prepare for my prince's funeral." After saying that, she got up and knelt down to kowtow to Qin Mi.

At this time, the surroundings were extremely quiet, and Rong Yu could clearly hear Zhu Ying saying that Liu Luo was hopeless, she only felt a bang, and there was a buzzing everywhere, and a thousand voices in her heart were repeatedly saying: No. Maybe, impossible, impossible... She didn't know why she was so sad, she couldn't breathe as if someone was strangling her throat.

——What does it matter, his dead emperor will not blame her, nor can he blame her;

——But why is it sad? It is clear that he hates her and uses her.

——If he dies... If he dies, for many years to come, the emperor will no longer have to tolerate such a person, and he will never bear to kill him.After he died, the danger around the emperor would be much smaller, but...but he was Lin Lang's last thought to him.

The last thought... She remembered the night when she saw Su Xinyue, the emperor suddenly pulled out the knife, the knife was bloody, if Liu Luo died, how would he react?She thought in a daze, as if she saw the extremely sad blood in the emperor's eyes.

The people around her got shorter, someone pulled her, she couldn't stand firmly, and knelt down like everyone else, they were all opening their mouths, but at first they couldn't hear them, only saw the lips of the people around them open and close, she tried hard Listen, I finally heard clearly, they were saying: "Please, Mr. Xiang, please prepare for my prince's funeral." Only then did she realize that the people kneeling all over the floor were from the Prince's Mansion of Pingjun. It was an extremely painful look, and some even cried bitterly, but no one questioned Zhu Ying's diagnosis.

Qin Mi was obviously stunned by the fact in front of him. As expected of being the prime minister of the two dynasties, he immediately reacted and said: "Zhu's guards are superb in medicine. Qin shouldn't have any objections, but this is a big matter. Hearing that there is a sage Qihuang in Xilin Temple, let Qin Mou ask for help in Xilin Temple."

Zhu Ying knelt upright in front of Qin You, bowed her head and kowtowed, and said, "So, I'll leave it all to the Prime Minister."

Everyone also bowed and said in unison: "That's it, I'll leave it all to the Prime Minister." Qin You was not polite anymore, and shouted: "Come on, please come here."

After a while the abbot really came, and after listening to Qin Ni's request, he said: "Qin Xiang said so, he killed the little temple. The little monk and uncle do know a little bit about medicine. If the master does not give up, the little monk will invite him." About to turn around, Qin You said: "I'll go with you." Although he has always been calm, but when it comes to this point, there is no doubt that he is anxious and worried. Although there are people watching all the way, it can be guaranteed that the death of King Pingjun was at his will. It is self-inflicted to take the blame, but the current emperor is very good, but the Guan Pingjun king may not be so easy to talk about. This is a secret known to the CCP, and I am afraid they will not let him go so easily.

Qin Xiang urged the abbot to look for Shi Kong, his uncle impatiently. Shi Kong was in seclusion, he heard what the abbot asked, put his palms together and said: "Life and death are up to fate, wealth and honor are impermanent." Qin Xiang thought he would not leave the seclusion, and hurried Said: "Saving someone's life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. I ask the master to help me."

Before he finished speaking, Shi Kong had already opened the door, he bowed to Qin You and said, "It's not that I refuse to save, I just told the benefactor in advance: life and death are up to fate, wealth and honor are impermanent." Qin You chewed these eight words , The first four characters seem to be referring to King Pingjun, while the last four characters are pointing directly at himself.He let out a long sigh and hurriedly followed.

A path was automatically made in the wing room, Zhu Ying was still kneeling at the place closest to the bed, Shi Kong strode in, and when he lifted Liu Luo's wrist, his face suddenly changed, Qin Ni thought, "It's not good!" Sure enough , Shi Kong folded his palms together and recited: "Amitabha!" Qin You felt his eyes go dark, and he took a few steps back, staggering, and grabbed the door frame so as not to fall, when someone beside him shouted: "Master Xiang!"

Suddenly Shi Kong said: "Master Xiang, don't worry, although Prince Ping's pulse is very weak, he is not completely hopeless."

As soon as this sentence came out, it seemed like the rain was falling, Zhu Ying took the lead and kowtowed: "I beg Bodhisattva to save my prince's life!" Everyone in the room also kowtowed, but Qin Mi was still a little sober and asked: "What kind of medicine does the master want, or are there other conditions? Just speaking, Qin has absolutely no reason not to agree."

Shi Kong uttered the Buddha's name again in a low voice, and said: "Master Xiang, calm down, little monk Fangwai, how can there be any conditions, but the disease of King Pingjun requires a very rare medicine, which is originally produced in Jing country, and needs to be treated in the country of Jing. Get it within one month, if you can't, then I'm sorry, I'm helpless."

Qin Xiangdao: "I am about to go to Jingguo. Please write down the name of the medicine, the place of origin, and the temperament of the master. Qin will definitely bring it back within a month."

Shikong said: "Thank you, Mr. Xiang, although the little monk is incompetent, he can keep the breath of the king of Pingjun for a month." After saying that, he took the four treasures of the study, brushed a few lines, and handed them over to Qin You. When Qin You saw what was written on the paper, it was true. It was a rare item, and I feared that I would not be able to take it back within a month, so I didn't dare to keep it any longer, so I bowed to the bottom and said, "I'll leave it all to the master." He ordered more than ten people to stay in the temple to take care of Liu Luo, and he and his party rushed to Jingguo.

All the guards in Pingjun Prince's Mansion rubbed their legs from sadness to joy and wanted to stand up, when suddenly one of them yelled, "The guard has passed out!"

Rong Yu felt that she was flying in the sky. She didn't know how long she had been flying, and she couldn't find a place to stay. She felt tired, very tired, but there was no place for her to fall safely. She saw her tears become Roll out in strings and hang down long, like a string of pearls, also like a string of dust, more like rain all over the sky, drowning in the crowd.

No one saw her tears, or rather, no one cared.

She saw many faces in a trance, father, mother, younger brother, and then Xin Yu, Zhiqi, Queen, Prince Ping... They all smiled at her at first, and then looked at her coldly, watching her struggle, watching her again She didn't have the strength to continue flying, and seeing her fall from a very high place, she fell into such a mess and misery, everyone laughed, their laughter was so presumptuous, it made her feel cold, icy cold.Falling from a high altitude seems to be a very long process, so long that you can't even hear the laughter, only the sound of the wind in your ears, and there is a lot of blank space... the whole world is blank.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" Someone called her in the ear, where is she, is she living in Cuihu?Rong Yu thought sadly: Given the size of the world, the place that can give her the most peace of mind is actually the precarious Cuihu Residence.She suddenly realized that she had already left the capital with Prince Pingjun, so is she in Youzhou or Jingguo now—why does someone call her empress?She forcefully opened her eyes, and it was Zhu Ying who fell into her eyes.

Zhu Ying said: "Your Majesty, you're awake." Her tone was flat, and she didn't show any signs of happiness.

Rong Yu recalled the previous events, the last thing she heard before she fell into a coma was Shi Kongnian's "Amitabha Buddha", she couldn't help but grabbed Zhu Ying's hand and said, "Is Prince Ping really... gone?" Zhu Ying looked at it carefully With her expression, before she could speak, a person came in at the door, that person sneered and said: "It turns out that the empress is so looking forward to my death."

Rong Yu recognized Liu Luo's voice, and finally let go of his hanging heart.

Liu Luo said: "President Qin has already gone to Jing Country, I will stay in Youzhou for the time being."

Seeing that his complexion was normal, Rong Yu realized after a turn of his mind: he must be playing such a seriously ill trick in order to stay in Youzhou, and it is really hateful to surprise the people in the palace and Qin Mi into such a state.Angry in Rong Yu's heart, he said with a sneer, "Prince Pingjun is really powerful, even the monks in Xilin Temple were bribed by you - it's a hard job for a servant."

Liu Luo teased and said, "You can teach me to worry." He was originally a boy with a temper, so he was unavoidably flirtatious. He caught a glimpse of Zhu Ying's complexion and didn't care. A visit to the Hou Mansion?"

Rong Yu remembered what happened in Yangzhou last time, and wanted to say with a straight face: "I know everything about the prince, so what's the point of asking me to go with me?" Unable to speak, he had to lower his eyebrows slightly and said: "Please Prince Ping to go out for a while, let the concubine get dressed."

Liu Luo left with a smile, Zhu Ying followed her out, and said in a low voice before going out: "Your Majesty, don't harm him, you also harmed yourself." She kept her voice extremely low, but Rong Yu could hear it clearly, she felt terrified in her heart, I was stunned for a moment, and all kinds of feelings came to my heart, and after a while, I whispered: "Aunt Zhu is too worried."

She changed clothes, and she went with Liu Luo, but Zhu Ying didn't go, Rong Yu felt strange, so she asked why, Liu Luo replied: "Aunt Zhu only saves my life, she doesn't like me meddling in the affairs of seniors, She won't help me if I get involved in this aspect." They walked all the way, and met a few monks from Xilin Temple in the corridor, and when the monk saw Liu Luo, he just saluted with palms together and whispered the Buddha's name, without any surprise , Rong Yu thought to himself: Could it be that he bribed the entire Xilin Temple?I am very confused.

After leaving Xilin Temple, after a short walk, we arrived at the Mansion of the Marquis of Weiming.

Liu Luo stepped forward to knock on the door, and knocked dozens of times in one breath. Someone asked impatiently at the bottom: "Who——?" Slowly opened the small door, and half of his head poked out. It was a skinny old man. When he saw Liu Luo , Immediately shouted: "You, you... who are you?" Color was terrified.

Liu Luo touched her face and said, "My surname is Liu."

The old man slammed the door shut and almost bumped into Liu Luo's nose. Liu Luo touched his nose, turned to look at Rong Yu and said, "Do you think he recognizes me, or doesn't he?"

As soon as the words were finished, the door slowly opened, and the skinny old man from before saluted and said, "I have seen Young Master Sun." Rong Yu looked at him carefully, he was really old, his beard and hair were all white, his face was wrinkled, and his eyesight was poor fine.Rong Yu thought to himself: There are countless servants in the Liu family, why did they send such a person to guard the Hou's mansion?

While thinking, she followed Liu Luo into the mansion.Speaking of which, she has been in the palace for four or five years, but she was a little surprised when she first saw the disobedient Hou's mansion. Everything in the hall was extravagant, not to mention ordinary palaces, even the palace officials were far inferior .Disobeying Hou really deserves the word disobedience, it is rare that Emperor Luo of the Qing Dynasty could tolerate him for more than [-] years.

Rong Yu was on the emperor's side, but he didn't know the emperor's intentions. The emperor was never afraid of the extravagance of his subjects, he was afraid of too much power, or coveting the throne.But the disobedient Hou used extravagance to confuse Emperor Luo of Qing Dynasty, making him think that he had no ambitions, and only in exchange for ten years of peace.

The skinny old man called himself Yu Wenyi, and he was a family member of the Marquis of Disobedience. Since the Marquis of Disobedience died and Princess Xuanji returned to Beijing, he has been guarding the Hou's mansion ever since. Because no one has been there for many years, all the servants of the Marquis's mansion have been dismissed. Seven seven eight eight.

Liu Luo took Rong Yu to sit in the main hall, and Yu Wenyi hurried to make tea. When the tea came out, it was green and fragrant. Rong Yu took a sip and praised "Yes", but Liu Luo frowned and said: "Is there no new tea for this spring?" Rong Yu knew that the children of their aristocratic family paid attention to food and clothing, and he couldn't match it, so he didn't say much.

Yu Wenyi said cautiously: "Youzhou is located in a remote place, and the people's livelihood is poor. It has not received new tea for several years."

Liu Luo still frowned, but finally bowed her head and took a sip, moistened her lips, and said, "Okay, you go down first."

Yu Wenyi replied yes, and said: "Young Master Sun in this mansion is free to look around, only Langezi in the West Chamber, when the young master left, he made a message not to allow future generations to enter, please remember it."

Liu Luo gave him a cold look, and said again: "Go down."

Yu Wenyi took the lead and went down.

Liu Luo took Rong Yu for a walk in the mansion, he seemed to be very familiar with this place, East Pavilion, West Pavilion, South Chamber and North Chamber, even the small details, Rong Yu's face was puzzled, until one place, Liu Luo Luo pointed out: "This is the Ningyu Pavilion." Rong Yu suddenly remembered that the names of the places in the Prince's Mansion of Pingjun corresponded one-to-one with the place names here, and he couldn't help thinking: Could it be that the Prince's Mansion of Pingjun was built according to this disobedient Marquis's Mansion? from?

She thought this way, but guessed the cause and effect the wrong way. In fact, the disobedient Hou Mansion was built according to the blueprint of Yuwen Mansion.When King Pingyi returned to Beijing with Princess Xuanji, Emperor Luo of the Qing Dynasty gave the old mansion of Yuwen to Princess Xuanji as the princess mansion. After marriage, it was renamed Pingyi Palace, which is the Pingjun Palace where Liu Luo now lives.
