Zhishan's face is still delicate and graceful. There are two rows of candles in front of him, and the candlelight is printed on his face, either brightly or dimly.
Shen Huan sat opposite him, staring at the candles without moving.
Zhishan suddenly sighed: "There is an atmosphere here that is incompatible with Buddhism." He pointed to the two rows of swaying candles in front of him. The doors and windows were closed and there was no wind. They should not be swaying like this.
Shen Huan raised her eyes and asked, "What kind of breath is it?"
Zhishan looked at her and said awkwardly: "It's probably a bad smell... I can't tell."
Shen Huan smiled, but his eyes became colder, and he said slowly: "Is it murderous intent? What my cousin feels should be murderous intent. My cousin is an elegant person, and he has probably never had murderous intent in his life, so he doesn't know You have this kind of atmosphere, don’t you?”
Zhishan was stunned for a moment, lowered his eyes, and said softly: "Although there is no murderous intention,... ordinary monks had resentments before becoming a monk. This is not good, so... Amitabha, my Buddha is compassionate , every time I think of that feeling of resentment, I really feel sorry for the Buddha."
Shen Wen smiled again and said, "That's really bad. I want to kill people, but I don't feel sorry at all. What should I do?"
Zhishan smiled slightly and said: "You are not a Buddha, nor are you a disciple of Buddhism, so there is no need to feel anything."
Shen Huan chuckled and said: "My cousin is really good at comforting people, because I said that? If it were someone else, my cousin wouldn't comfort her like this, right?"
Zhishan actually blushed slightly, and Shen Huan smiled even more heartily. After a while, she said seriously: "So what if you want to kill someone? So what if he dies? As long as you can live for a long time, it will be better than Everything is fine!”
Zhishan looked at her and said nothing for a long time, then lowered his eyes and said softly: "Yes, as long as my cousin can live, it is better than anything else."
Shen Wen was startled and lowered her head. It wasn't that she didn't know her cousin's feelings for her, but he also knew his feelings for Xi Chao. So, he blindly fulfilled everything. As long as he lived well, he was willing to bear anything. Just like when he was a child, he was willing to accept everything. He was poisoned, but he never complained because as long as he was happy, no matter how painful his body was, he would look at himself and smile happily.
Suddenly, I felt sad. I looked up and saw my cousin's bare scalp, and I almost couldn't hold back my tears.
Deliberately laughing out loud, he asked: "I really want to know, can people like my cousin be resentful? I always thought that my cousin would never be resentful towards anyone! Cousin Tell me quickly, who is that person?"
Zhishan recited the Buddha's name a few times and said slowly: "Since my cousin wants to ask, it is better for me to say it than to keep it in my heart all my life. When I think about it, I feel ashamed of the Buddha Amitabha... That was the night before my mother-in-law died. I went to see her in the cold palace, and she told me that it was not her who framed my father, Queen Xie, and her second brother, but Concubine Shu, the current Queen Mother."
In comparison, this is not the most shocking news that Shen Huan heard today.
"Auntie, she..."
Zhishan recited the Buddha's name again and said: "That night, I didn't know that my mother and concubine would die, but after my fourth brother ascended the throne, he quickly killed his mother and concubine. I don't know if it was the Queen Mother's intention... I lost my mother. Concubine, I lost my uncle's family, and I also knew that I probably wouldn't win your heart, cousin, so I became a monk... But what I didn't expect was that my fourth brother actually left you by my side. At that time, I This is the real resentment... Amitabha..."
The window was suddenly blown open by a strong gust of wind, and most of the two rows of candles in front of him were blown out. Zhishan stood up and closed the window. Shen Huan wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.
"Mother and son owe our family too much!" Shen Huan said word by word, almost breaking his teeth.
Zhishan closed the window and returned to the candlelight to light the blown candles one after another. His large monk robe made his body look even thinner.
"But when I learned that you became the queen, and my fourth brother treated you very well, I didn't think so much about you. Ah Hu, no matter you are the queen or not, as long as you live well, I don't have so much resentment anymore, as long as you live well. It's good to know that you're okay, Ah Hu." His tone was light and gentle, but full of deep friendship.
Shen Wen didn't want him to worry, so she had to force a smile and said: "Yes, I am living a good life. As a queen, who can live a bad life? What's more, being a queen can do things that many people can't do. ah!"
Zhishan didn't understand what she really meant, so he nodded and asked, "When are you planning to return to the palace?"
Shen Huan smiled and said: "It's just these few days? If my cousin misses me, he can go back to the palace to see me! After all, that's where my cousin grew up."
Zhishan smiled noncommittally, and outside the door Cui Shanggong was already urging: "It's getting late, please move and have a rest."
Shen Huan smiled helplessly at Zhishan and said, "Time flies so fast."
"Yes," Zhishan said with a look of reluctance on his face, "I used to feel that time was the same whether it was too fast or too slow. Who knew that when I spent time with my cousin, time went so fast when I was a kid... I really didn't realize it."
Shen Huan sighed, and Cui Shanggong knelt again outside the door. Shen Huan stood up, knelt down to the big Buddha in the hall, saluted with great respect, and then left.
Three days later, it was the day for the queen to return to the palace. Everyone was packing their bags. Shen Huan did not have to worry about these things, so she said goodbye to Zhishan in a leisurely manner.
Coincidentally, Yao Ronghua also came out at this time and met them
Shen Wen smiled and asked, "Will sister Rong Hua also come out to say goodbye?"
Yao Ronghua glanced at Zhishan without any trace, and said with a smile: "Isn't it true? Although the days here are not long, I feel as if I am very familiar here. I feel more at ease here."
Shen Huan smiled on her face, but she felt contempt in her heart: You? Do you also know An Xin? You have harmed so many people, but you are so shameless!
"It seems that sister Rong Hua is also a lover of Buddha!" Shen Huan said with a smile.
Yao Ronghua smiled, but his eyes kept looking towards Zhishan
Are you reluctant to let go of the quiet here or the people here?
Now Shen Wen is almost certain that Yao Ronghua must know her cousin, but his cousin may not know her. Has she always been unrequitedly in love with her cousin? But when did they meet? When they met, her cousin did not recognize her, and she But you still miss your cousin?
There is no way to study these, but it is better to leave here. Otherwise, with Yao Ronghua's deep thoughts, Shen Huan cannot think of what she would do to her cousin. After all, she is the emperor's concubine, and her cousin is already a Buddhist. Got it
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw Xiang Ming rushing over in a hurry. He didn't care about Yao Ronghua's presence and whispered a few words in Shen Huan's ear.
Shen Huan's expression changed drastically, he glanced at Xiang Ming, and said coldly: "How are you packing everything?"
Xiangming said: "It's almost done."
Shen Huan suddenly turned around, waved his sleeves and said sternly: "Go back to the palace immediately!"
