Sir, I can do it!

After dinner, Wei Zhao and Wei Yuan were walking in the yard with their hands behind their backs to digest food.

Wei Zhao summed up that his candied fruit shop in Qingshui Street has a daily net profit of 30 taels.As for Taihua Street, there are many students in that area, and restaurants and bookstores are more common.But the bookstores are much the same, there is nothing new, and the business is tepid.Only when a bookstore has a fresh storybook on the market, it will be popular for a while.

Wei Zhao has always liked story books, and he prides himself on his unique vision.He wondered whether he should also open a bookstore and add more types of scripts, which would be popular.

But looking at his little nephew who has been obsessed with story books recently, Wei Zhao suddenly felt that it was inappropriate for him to seduce the pillars of the country.

After thinking about it for a long time, there was no charter, so I simply didn't want to think about it. When I look back and ask Changsun Ke, he must have a more reasonable opinion.

Rubbing his belly, he was about to go back to wash and sleep after walking around, when he heard a report from someone saying that Eunuch Mo, who was beside the queen, was ordered to see Lord Hou.

Wei Zhao felt suspicious for a while, and asked someone to take Little Mozi to the main hall, and then he walked there too.

After the little Mozi greeted everyone, he presented a volume of scriptures and said: "The servant is ordered by the empress to give this volume of scriptures to the old lady. The scriptures were copied by the empress herself. It is said that they are Knowing about the lonely copy that the abbot got by chance, the old lady must like it."

As Xiao Mozi said, he winked at Wei Ru, Wei Ru understood, and waved his hand away the servants.

Wei Zhao was also wondering, the elder sister was going back to the palace tomorrow, and before returning to the palace, she would also go to the Hou's mansion, so it would be better to give the scriptures to grandma in person.Even if it is a rare copy, it is not too late for this night.

Without waiting for Wei Zhao to ask, Little Mo Zi suddenly fell to his knees and said with red eyes, "Master Hou, Your Majesty is gone!"

Wei Ru was startled: "What did you say!"

Little Mozi wiped away his tears with his cuff, and said [-]: "Your Majesty worships the Buddha devoutly. She copies the scriptures in the meditation room every day. When she gets tired, she goes for a walk in the courtyard. Occasionally, she goes to the back mountain to enjoy the scenery. All right, it rained a few days ago, and the empress suffered from the cold, so she was a little mentally ill."

"Fan'er persuaded the empress to go back to the palace, or ask the imperial doctor to come and have a look, but the empress did not respond. The master gave the empress a look, and said that the cold syndrome has disappeared, but there is some depression in her heart, it is not a serious problem. Because the empress is depressed I don't like many people, so I usually just ask Fan to follow. This afternoon, Aunt Yu saw that the empress was depressed, so she invited her to swim in the nearby lake. Aunt Yu was kind enough, so she went together. Perhaps the scenery was good, and the empress was also very happy, so she whetted her appetite, so she asked Shan to fetch some refreshments. But when Shan came back, the empress was nowhere to be seen."

"The courtyard where the empress worships the Buddha is guarded by General Qi Wu. Except for the abbot who understands the scriptures to the empress through the screen in the meditation room every day, no outsiders come. At that time, there was no one else by the lake, only the servants in the palace were far away. Waiting. Shan Er asked a few words, and the servant said that he saw Aunt Yu helping the Empress back home. Fan thought that with Aunt Yu following, the Empress would be fine, so she went back to the guest room to look for the Empress."

"In the afternoon, it was the time when the maids of the inner eunuchs were taking turns to eat. Fan'er asked and learned that the empress had gone back to her room, so she only greeted softly outside the door. The empress answered, and she seemed a little tired. Don't bother me too much."

"At that time, the slave was following Abbot Mingran to get the Buddhist scriptures. When he came back, he saw Fan guarding the guest room, so he put the Buddhist scriptures in the meditation room and waited for the empress to get up before reporting back. It was evening, and there was no one in the guest room. Fan'er felt weird about the movement. No matter how tired the lady was, she would get up on time. She had never slept for so long during the day. Fan'er yelled a few times outside the door, but no one answered in the room. Fan'er was impatient. Not knowing what to do, I opened the door and entered, but saw that the room was clean, not even a single person."

"Fan'er has been guarding the door, and has never seen the empress come out. We are in a hurry, the matter is related to the innocence of the empress, and we dare not say anything, so we have to secretly look for it. Seeing that it is dark and the empress is still missing, there is really no way. , so I came to find Lord Hou."

Xiao Mozi's face turned pale: "Master Hou, tomorrow is the day when the empress will return to the palace, if I can't find my empress again, what should I do!"

Both Xiao Mozi and Fan'er are close friends of Wei Shuning, but it is a big deal for the queen to come out of the palace to pay respects to the Buddha.Apart from the imperial guards guarding the outside of the Zen courtyard, there are only the inner eunuchs serving in the Zen room in the guest room.Li Huai has always been suspicious, and the Queen must have his people around, that's why Xiao Mozi didn't dare to look for someone openly.Once Li Huai knew that the queen had been missing for half a day in the Buddhist temple, even if nothing happened, it would be impossible to tell, and Li Huai would definitely have a knot in his heart.

Wei Zhao asked him, "What's the situation at the Huguo Temple right now?"

Little Mozi said: "The fan is in the guest room. She only said that the mother is unwell, and Aunt Yu is helping to cover it up. Mammy Liu is not suspicious now. But what should I do tomorrow? Nanny Liu said that she will leave early in the morning. You want to leave Huguo Temple."

"When you and Shan'er were looking for people, did you find anything wrong?"

Little Mozi thought about it carefully, then shook his head: "Everyone is performing their duties, everything is as usual, and nothing is wrong."

Wei Zhao knocked on the table indiscriminately, narrowing his eyes suddenly: "There is nothing wrong with it."

Wei Ru was puzzled.

Wei Zhaodao: "There are heavy soldiers guarding the monastery. This time the elder sister is escorted by General Qi Wu. This man is bold and cautious, and he is good at arranging troops. With him guarding the monastery, not even a fly can fly out. Eldest sister If something happened, there would be no movement at all. Since Qi Wu didn't notice any abnormalities, it can only mean that the elder sister is still in the monastery, or even, she is still in the guest room."

"How is it possible." Xiao Mozi was startled, "The guest room is simply furnished, and Shan'er and I have searched inside and out, but we really didn't find Empress."

Wei Zhao frowned, "We'll have to go to the Buddhist monastery to find out the details."

Wei Shuning never thought that one day, she would see him again, and she never thought that the goodbye would be such an 'honest relationship'.The faint scent of sandalwood on his body made her feel at ease, but also made her sink.Only at this moment did she understand how ridiculous the past ten years were.Marrying Li Huai is just marrying a shadow in her heart.

Fifteen years ago, Wei Shuning had just passed the age of Ji.Wei Xuan is still a young general, and Wei Zhao is only five years old, exactly the age when cats hate dogs and mischief.Mrs. Chu passed away early, and Wei Zhao has been loved since childhood. Even Mrs. Chu, who is far away in Ningzhou, often misses her little grandson.

It coincided with Grandpa Chu's birthday, so Wei Ru took the three of them to Ningzhou.One is to celebrate the old man's birthday, and the other is to ask Wei Zhao to recognize the door of his grandfather's house.At that time Mrs. Chu was not in good health, fearing that she would never see Wei Zhao again in this life, Wei Ru asked her siblings to stay in Ningzhou for a while and spend time with her grandmother.

After the New Year's Eve, the siblings just returned to Shengjing from Ningzhou.Due to his busy schedule, Wei Ru came back years ago. Along the way, the family guards escorted their siblings.Because I was not in a hurry to go back, I stopped and stopped all the way, and I had fun playing.

It's just that he didn't expect to meet bandits on the way. The horse was frightened and rushed forward like crazy. Wei Shuning pushed Wei Zhao to the guard with great effort.However, the guards couldn't hold back the crazy horse, and there was a cliff in front of him. Wei Shuning thought that her life would end here.

Until her arm was pulled vigorously in a trance, she felt her body floating in the air, thinking that she had reached the sky.Until a voice recalled her confused thoughts.

"Little girl, why do you have such an expression of resignation to death? I'm not the king of the mountain. I won't tie you back to be Mrs. Yazhai."

It was a young man's voice, with a somewhat frivolous tone.She opened her eyes and crashed into a pool of clear lake water unexpectedly.

Only then did she realize that she was being held by a man, no, a monk, her body flew into the air, and there was an abyss beneath her feet.Because it was noon at that time, his bald head with scalded scars reflected the dazzling sunlight, which was so dazzling that he couldn't ignore it even if he wanted to.Because of this bald head, she even forgot to be afraid.

"Why, do you like to hang like this?" The monk seemed a little out of order.

Wei Shuning came back to her senses, hating herself for seeing a monk fascinated.She grabbed the monk's wrist with her backhand, and the monk secretly gathered strength, and pulled her up with a low shout.She was nervous for a moment, and when she let go, she tore off the Buddhist string on the monk's wrist.The beads fell to the ground, and then rolled down the cliff, where they could no longer be seen.Only one Buddhist bead was left in the palm of his hand.

Wei Shuning's face turned pale, and she repeatedly apologized: "I, I didn't do it on purpose. When I get back, I will definitely offer another string of Buddhist beads and pray to Buddha devoutly..."

The monk clasped his hands together and chanted the Buddha's name. At this moment, he didn't seem to be sloppy just now, but instead had a serious expression: "Exchanging a string of Buddhist beads for the life of the benefactor is also fate, and the benefactor doesn't need to care about it."

Wei Shuning heaved a sigh of relief, but held the Buddhist bead in his hand even tighter.

The anxious voice of the guard came from behind, and the monk chuckled lightly and got on his horse.Before Wei Shuning could ask any more questions, the man had already galloped away.

The horseshoes galloped, kicked up dust, and covered the sky.A cassock was hidden under the wind and sand, gradually blurring.Wei Shuning thought she had a dream.

Until I met Li Huai.Everyone knew that Li Huai plotted against Wei Shuning, but no one knew that Wei Shuning, who was as smart as Wei, fell into Li Huai's trap on purpose.Just because he has similar eyebrows and eyes to the monk in his memory.This is a secret she cannot reveal.

So she fell into another dream.In other words, even she herself couldn't tell whether the monk was a dream or reality was a dream.

"woke up?"

The deep voice interrupted Wei Shuning's thoughts, and she suddenly realized that she was curled up in this man's arms, watching him fascinated.There was a transparency in his eyes that could see through the world, and he looked at her with compassion and pity.I don't know if it's an illusion, but she even saw the desire/desire that shouldn't be in the depths of his eyes.

"Poor girl, she was tricked again."

Only then did Wei Shuning wake up completely. Thinking of the situation in front of her, the coldness penetrated from her scalp to the bottom of her heart, and she couldn't help shivering.

"Where is this?" Wei Shuning's voice was a little hoarse.

Monk Wuji turned his beautiful eyes slightly, and said softly: "My meditation room."
