Chapter one hundred and seventy seventh twists and turns
Seeing that Yin was about to walk out of the pavilion, Haishi suddenly knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, please stay!"
Ji Ling looked at her and saw Haishi holding a lotus lantern in both hands. He walked forward on his knees and said urgently: "Your Majesty has wronged my concubine. It's not that I don't understand the rules and intentionally offended the Emperor. Please forgive me."
crime……
Her voice was rapid and she didn't dare to stop for a word. She just said loudly: "If the emperor doesn't believe it... I'm brave, you can tell by taking a look at this lotus lantern!"
With that said, Haishi raised the lotus lantern high and presented it to Yin. She stared at the lotus lantern with eager eyes, as if this small river lantern held all her hopes.
Seeing her like this, everyone turned their attention to the lotus lantern.
The embroidery lantern held high in the pavilion was very bright, illuminating the petals of the lantern, which were exquisite inside and outside. Under the light, Yin could see that there were shadowy words on the base of the lantern.
He frowned and glanced at Su Peisheng.
Su Peisheng understood, and immediately stepped forward and took the river lantern from Haishi's hand. When he saw the words clearly, his eyebrows moved.
Su Peisheng took a deep look at Haishi, then held the lamp in front of Yin with both hands, bowed and whispered: "Your Majesty."
Uranara remained silent and just stood aside with his hands folded.
Yin glanced at the expression on Su Peisheng's face, reached out and picked up the lotus lantern, and looked at it carefully under the light. He saw that the upper seat of the lotus lantern was written in extremely detailed red regular script with densely packed small characters.
He connected the words one by one and recited a few sentences in a low voice. It turned out that what was written on it was: "Place a hundred kinds of food and drink in the Ullambana basin, and give them to the monks in the ten directions. I hope that my parents will live a hundred years without disease."
, free from all sufferings and troubles... Born in the world, there is endless happiness and joy. Those who are Buddhist disciples who practice filial piety should always remember their parents, and even their parents in the seventh generation. On the fifteenth day of the seventh month every year, always practice filial piety and kindness."
When Yin saw that it was a Buddhist scripture, his expression became solemn, and the boredom in his brows was much lighter.
He is familiar with Buddhist scriptures and naturally knows that the words in front of him come from the "Ullambana Sutra"
Although this sutra has always been controversial, the story of "Mu Lian saving his mother" still makes people think of the meaning it contains of being filial to parents and repaying the kindness of upbringing.
Yin held the lotus lantern, and when he spoke again, his tone was much gentler. He just looked at Haishi and asked: "Are you on this river lantern... delivering the copied scriptures to the water?"
Haishi Yingying kowtowed.
When she raised her head again, her face was solemn and she said sternly: "It's true to say back to the emperor! Since I was demoted as a slave and moved out of Jingyang Palace, I know that I have offended the emperor and my sin is unpardonable. I wash my face with tears every day and meditate.
Passed by. Fortunately, while I was living, I accidentally found a copy of "The Common Instructions of the Harem" written by Empress Xiao Yiren and kept by the former palace lord."
Hearing her mention Queen Xiao Yiren, Yin's face was shocked.
He stared at Heide without saying a word, but motioned for her to speak downwards.
Haishi straightened up, glanced slightly to the left and right, and saw Uranala nodding to him imperceptibly, giving him an approving look, and then immediately turned away.
Heide gradually calmed down and felt that his mind was clear.
She calmed herself down and said softly: "Every time I read the "Common Interpretations of the Harem's Regulations", I feel like I have seen Empress Xiao Yiren in her former glory, and she is very kind! I want Empress Xiao Yiren to be filial and filial, Shu Fan Su wrote it, Ju
Raising many sons, being extremely diligent, virtuous and gentle, he is indeed a model for the women in the harem to learn from.
The maid and concubine lived in peace and quiet in the deep palace, so I read this book word for word over and over again. It was like listening to the admonitions in front of Queen Xiao Yiren, feeling the kindness, benefiting a lot, and deeply regretting all the things I did in the past. I was a maid.
My fault...
When she said this, she raised her hand and printed the corners of her eyes with her sleeves, and said: "Your Majesty, today is the fifteenth day of the seventh month. The Ullambana Sutra says: 'On the fifteenth day of the seventh month every year, always practice filial piety and kindness.
Remembering my parents'
I dare to say something presumptuous. Your Majesty is the prince raised by Empress Xiao Yiren. Since I am a member of the Emperor's harem, my feelings of admiration are always the same!"
Everyone heard that she even expressed "feelings of admiration", so disgusting!
There were many people with subtle expressions on their faces, exchanging glances with each other.
Ji Ling saw Concubine Qi frowning and looking at Haishi with disdain.
The expression on Concubine Yu's face wasn't much better, and her disdain was undisguised.
Ji Ling lowered his head and slowly connected the past events in his mind. He thought carefully about the Heidegger in front of him. His answers were fluent and his thinking was meticulous. He obviously had a very good brain.
She is pretending to be crazy!
Ever since Heidegger was demoted, she has been pretending to be crazy! She used to pretend to be crazy to fade away from everyone's sight, she used to pretend to be crazy to divert everyone's attention, and she used to pretend to be crazy to make everyone relax their vigilance and hostility towards her.
Who came up with this idea?
Is it herself? Or someone else?
If it were someone else, the person who taught her to pretend to be crazy behind her back...
Qixi saw that her master lowered his eyes and said nothing. His hands were just rolling up his sleeves from top to bottom, with a strange look on his face.
Qixi couldn't help but feel worried. She pushed Ji Ling's arm gently and whispered: "Master...?"
Ji Ling shook his head slightly, raised his hand and gently put it to his lips, with a serious look on his face, and only signaled Qixi not to speak.
She continued her train of thought. It was the Ghost Festival today, and she had just heard from the emperor that river lanterns were placed in the Imperial Garden. For the sake of safety and tranquility, the Ministry of Internal Affairs had already cleared the garden.
What's more, it's almost time for the palace gate to be handed down, so how did Heidegger get in?
Who could have the ability to make the Ministry of Internal Affairs turn a blind eye?
How could Heidegger control the time exactly so that when the emperor sat down to rest, he would appear on the other side of the Yu River not a moment earlier or a moment later?
Also, does Heidegger fly kites in the Imperial Garden over and over again? Does it have any profound meaning?
Could that kite be some kind of code, such as a way for Heidegger and the people behind her to communicate with each other and pass on information?
With Ji Ling thinking this, he saw Haishi kowtow and said sincerely: "Your Majesty, the Ullambana Sutra copied on this river lamp is all red. It is not dyed by Danzhu, but... maids and concubines.
To show my sincerity, I bit my finger and wrote it with blood!"
When everyone heard this, their hearts trembled.
I have a filial heart and am praying for the deceased Queen Xiao Yiren. Therefore, I have disturbed the Emperor’s Holy Majesty. Please forgive me!”
Concubine Qi drooped her eyelids lightly, turned to Mao Bin and sighed in a low voice: "Listen, just now she said 'please forgive me, the emperor', and now she said: 'please forgive me, the emperor'!" This noble man in the sea is still the same as before.
That frivolous temperament has many tricks to coax people!
She covered her mouth with a handkerchief full of disgust, and whispered: "This is about copying scriptures with blood, praying for Queen Xiao Yiren, it's all nonsense, it's a shame she can justify it!"
Mao Bi hid her face in the shadows of the dimly lit place, and just stared deeply at the changes in the expression on the emperor's face.
Then, she looked at Concubine Qi, shook her head slowly, and made a silent gesture.
