Hibiscus Tent: The Prime Minister’s palm is reborn

Lu Wanying grabbed Ruizhu's arm, bent down and rubbed his knees, then glanced at the lecture hall behind him with hatred, full of disgust.

"Go, go, go!"

As he said this, he headed towards the Yaohua Palace with a look of resentment filling the air.

"I have to come here before dawn every day, gritting my teeth to listen to the scriptures for so many days. Not only are my legs broken, I think even my brain is about to be broken. At the beginning, in the Renshou Hall, my aunt's endless fish drum sounds made my head almost split. Now I finally have some peace and quiet, and now it starts again. This Yuan Yun'e, why not do something else but have to bring in a group of stinky ascetics to chant scriptures..."

Every day, she is the last one to arrive and the first one to leave.

Ruizhu reminded quietly: "My queen, please don't say such things. Not to mention whether others will hear it, even if they can't hear it, it is still an offense to the Buddha."

"Oh," Lu Wanying rolled her eyes at her, "I'm used to hearing this in Renshou Palace."

She paused, turned around and pointed to a palace maid: "You, go back and get ready. I will take a bath as soon as I enter the palace."

The palace maid responded with her neck shrunk.

After sending away the palace maid, Lu Wanying was no longer in a hurry. She frowned and was worried in her heart.

"It's strange. How come she suddenly thought of chanting sutras and reciting Buddhist scriptures?"

Ruizhu was also puzzled: "Maybe there has been too much hostility in the palace recently, and she feels guilty for killing so many people?"

It’s no wonder Ruizhu thought so. In this harem, who doesn’t say that Yuanshi is magnanimous, gentle, respectful and frugal?

"She would have a guilty conscience? You really have stayed in the palace for so long in vain." Lu Wanying laughed: "Don't you know that the more diligently one recites Buddhist scriptures, the heavier the sins one commits? For a person who doesn't even have a heart, what is the conscience?"

Ruizhu didn't say anything, and for no reason she thought of the Empress Dowager.

Lu Wanying raised her eyebrows and asked, "Do you think that bitch Du Juan told Yuan Yun'e that my fetus was in danger?"

Ruizhu came to her senses and recalled the past carefully before saying, "From the look on her face, I didn't think she knew anything. I really thought you had a miscarriage because you fell into the water..."

Lu Wanying asked coldly: "Where are Du Juan's family members?"

Ruizhu raised her eyes and said, "It is said that sparks flew onto the quilt at night, and then all seven members of the family were killed."

Lu Wanying was slightly surprised, then smiled: "After father passed away, my brother has become more efficient in his actions."

Ruizhu shook her head: "It seems to be an accident."

"Accident?"

"Or maybe it was the Queen's doing."

"That's possible. Since she has already taken action, it will save us the trouble." Lu Wanying pondered for a moment, and then said, "But I won't take advantage of her for nothing. I will find a chance to kill Wei."

Ruizhu hesitated: "The Queen has no children. If Wei dies, and the Lord gives the Third Prince to the Queen, wouldn't the Queen be making wedding clothes for others?"

Lu Wanying smiled solemnly: "Are you saying that he really doesn't know why my fetus is not safe?"

She would never forget the hard slap she received in Hanzhang Palace...

This child is a bastard.

Not a pity.

"But it's my decision to kill or keep him. Why should Gao Hao do that?"

"I present this Diamond Sutra to the Queen Mother, hoping that it can help you eliminate your heavy karma, increase your blessings, and achieve the supreme path."

"Thank you, Master."

Liang Qian took a deep breath, took it with trembling hands, and held it tightly in her arms. She looked so grateful and thankful, as if what was handed to her was not a scripture, but a life-saving elixir.

The monk lowered his head and chanted "Amitabha", watching the haggard man, who was supported by palace servants, leave.

After the Queen Mother left, everyone couldn't help but exchange glances and sigh inwardly.

Maybe it's God's jealousy of beauty, maybe it's retribution in this life.

Sooner or later, the emperor will dislike her like this...

Since the beginning of the lecture, the Empress Dowager was always the first one to come to the Lecture Hall. Those who did not know the truth just thought that the Empress Dowager was particularly pious, while those who knew the truth kept it a secret and never mentioned it.

But after all, there is no wall that is completely airtight.

After falling into the water that day, the Queen Mother fell seriously ill.

Although the imperial physician said that the empress dowager had recovered from her illness, she insisted that she was not feeling well. When the imperial physician asked again, she was vague and could not clearly explain where she was unwell.

The emperor thought that the imperial physician was incompetent, so he changed several imperial physicians to take the empress dowager's pulse, but after examining her again and again, none of them could figure out what was wrong.

But we can't say that the Empress Dowager is pretending to be sick. After all, anyone with eyes can clearly see that the Empress Dowager is indeed getting thinner and thinner. She no longer has the graceful figure she once had. Not to mention that she looks listless, she simply looks emaciated.

Everyone speculated that the Queen Mother might have contracted some unknown strange disease.

In this case, the emperor would certainly be furious.

In this thundering rage, the emperor executed two imperial doctors.

All of a sudden, all the doctors in the Imperial Medical Bureau felt threatened.

Just when everyone was puzzled, they vaguely heard an unknown eunuch in Hanzhang Palace let slip the truth, and then they got a glimpse of the truth.

It turned out that the Queen Mother did not have any strange disease, but was possessed by an evil spirit.

Whenever she fell asleep at night, the Queen Mother would have nightmares, crying and laughing at the same time, and even kneeling on the ground, repeatedly calling for mercy from His Majesty. At first, I thought she was the Lord, but later I realized that the His Majesty she was talking about was actually Emperor Wenxuan...

The servants in the palace were all frightened and terrified. No matter how loudly they called out to the Queen Mother, she remained in the nightmare and could not wake up.

When it was almost dawn, she would quietly climb onto the couch and fall asleep motionlessly. When asked about it when she woke up, she had no idea what had happened at night.

So, when the queen proposed to invite monks to the palace to preach, the emperor agreed.

However, things in the world do not always go as planned. No matter how devoutly the Queen Mother recites scriptures during the day, her nightmares at night still show no signs of improvement. If this continues, the Queen Mother may not have much time left...

"Hey, the Queen Mother is back from chanting sutras..."

The palace maid at the door saw the three people approaching from afar, and she nudged the eunuch beside her with her elbow.

"Hey, what are you doing to me?"

"It's not your turn to greet them at this hour. Why don't you go and greet them?"

"You're talking nonsense, it's obviously you." The eunuch said this and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Seeing that the men were still far away, the palace maid turned around and left.

The Hanzhang Palace at this moment is more frightening than the cold palace.

Not to mention that the emperor only came during the day, even if he came, he would just take a quick look, say a few words to comfort him, and then leave.

The servants in the palace not only had to keep awake at night because of the empress dowager, but also had to continue to be on duty during the day. They could get through a day or two by gritting their teeth, but who could stand this kind of torment day and night?

Therefore, whenever they had some free time during the day, they would be busy asking for connections, finding people, and spending money. All of them wanted to leave this hellhole as soon as possible, for fear that if they stayed any longer, they would be like the Queen Mother, who would either die or go crazy.

As a result, no one is often seen in Hanzhang Palace during the day, and the only people who can be ordered around now are probably Gu Ya and Jin Zhi.

But no one is made of iron.

Before crossing the threshold, Jinzhi yawned.

By the time Liang Qian was helped onto the couch and settled down, she could hardly open her eyes.

After leaving the inner room, she pulled Guya and said, "You stay here first, I need to take a nap..."

Gu Ya handed her the freshly poured tea and said, "Okay, go and take a rest. I took a nap while he was lecturing."

When Gu Ya went back in, Liang Qian had already changed into a palace maid's uniform.
