The Eight Winds of Rebirth

Looking at Gu Xiangtan's indifferent and peaceful face, Zhao Su felt as if he had eaten Coptis chinensis. If this person was even slightly unhappy, even if he frowned or turned cold, Zhao Su would feel that his life was worthless. It's a pity, but Gu Xiangtan didn't respond, and he didn't even make any waves in his eyes. Even those who worked in the North Korean Communist Party were more excited than him when they heard this. Of course, that kind of superficial emotion It was not what Zhao Su wanted.

Gu Xiangtan saw that he kept his head down and said nothing, looking at the sky, and didn't plan to stay for a long time. Before leaving, he rarely asked a few words: "When will we get married?"

Zhao Su was startled, and said, "Dongyue seventeen."

"It's a good day, but unfortunately it's Amitabha's Christmas day, and there may be a Dharma conference in the palace." This means that it's hard to say whether I will come or not.

Zhao Su hurriedly said: "Then put it to sixteen?"

Gu Xiangtan shook his head: "Is this the queen's decision? You can't change the wedding day casually, there are still two months left, just take good care of your body."

Zhao Su watched the man turn around, and walked slowly towards the way he came from. The moon-white plain robe set off his calm and elegant posture, and his figure was like a willow. Slowly getting farther and farther away from me, and finally disappearing into the empty distance...

Zhao Su clenched his fists tightly, and the last gleam of hope in his heart was extinguished with Gu Xiangtan's fading figure...

Gu Xiangtan's sedan chair came out of the west side hall and walked all the way to Xumi Hall.

It was almost dusk at this time, and the setting sun in autumn was as bright as blood, dyeing the entire Forbidden Palace in golden red. Gu Xiangtan lifted the curtain and looked at Jin Zhaoyu Cui Feige Liudan quietly in front of him, almost unbearable. Imagine that only a month ago, this place experienced a bloody, brutal and vicious fight. There were corpses lying everywhere, and the ground was full of blood. Do you want those people to die in vain because of their selfish desires?

Gu Xiangtan's eyes flashed past the charred and collapsed main hall of Shimen Temple, the dead monks without whole bodies, and the soldiers of the Imperial Army fighting bloody battles, and finally fixed on the man sitting and sleeping by the big tree.

Right and wrong, Mingming Xiaoxiaotian.

No matter who you are, you should pay the price for what you do...

Gu Xiangtan closed his eyes, frowned, and said in a deep voice, "Go to Chengfeng Palace."

However, when he got there, he saw that the door was closed and the house was empty. In a huge main hall, An Yin stepped forward and yelled three times, and a person who walked slowly from Chengfeng Palace opened the door.

As soon as the visitors saw the Lingfo, they hurriedly led them in, kneeling down and kowtow at the same time, fearing that the Lingfo would blame them for their negligence.

An Yin held back the other party, and Su Xi asked before Gu Xiangtan: "You guys are so big, why are you so talented?"

There was a little fear on the servant's face: "People...people..." Where else can people go, almost all of them were killed on the night when the prince died, so the servant had to be careful: "The princess said, these people serve That's enough..."

Gu Xiangtan signaled Su Xi not to embarrass him, but followed him to the garden and stopped.

"Lingfo, wait a moment. The princess and the grandson are looking at the koi, and the servant will report it."

After a while, Gong Yiling's Pingting figure appeared not far away, and the nanny on one side was holding a big fat boy in her arms, and as soon as she got closer, Zhao Xi stretched out her hand to hug Gu Xiangtan.

"Puff...Puff..." Zhao Xi muttered something inexplicable with bubbles popping out of her mouth.

Gong Yiling said at the side: "I taught him to call Lingfo, it may be too difficult, Xi'er still can't say it well."

Hearing mother and concubine say "Lingfo", Zhao Xi changed her words again: "Fu Fu...Fu Fu...Puff..."

The word "Buddha" is not so good for children, so it turns into spit again in the end.

Gu Xiangtan didn't mind, he took Zhao Xi over with a smile, recuperated for more than a month, the flesh that disappeared before grew back, his little face was flushed, seeing Gu Xiangtan looking at him, Zhao Xi also grinned She smiled sweetly at him with her mouth open, revealing two small deciduous teeth.

Gu Xiangtan teased Zhao Xi for a while, and the child obediently lay on him and remained still.

Gong Yiling watched, and suddenly walked up to him, his legs softened, and he knelt down in front of Gu Xiangtan.

Gu Xiangtan wanted to help her, but Gong Yiling avoided it: "It's my mother who lost her guard. If there was no Lingfo who gave his life to save her that day, naturally there would be no Xi'er who is intact today. Both public and private, Lingfo deserves my worship."

Gu Xiangtan lowered his eyes and shook his head: "I didn't save Xi'er, it was the masters of Shimen Temple, the soldiers of the imperial army, and General Cao Qincao."

Speaking of this, he gave Shanggong Yiling a clear look.

Gong Yiling looked cold and solemn, and then nodded: "I understand the meaning of Lingfo." After finishing speaking, he nodded to the maid beside him, and the nanny stepped forward to take the emperor and grandson away from Gu Xiangtan's hand, and it didn't take long Gong Yiling's personal servant girl brought two guards and pressed a heavily tied man to Gu Xiangtan.

That person was a woman in her 30s, with a plump body and a round face. It can be seen that she was once regarded as pampered, but now her hair is disheveled, her eyes are red and swollen, and she looks panicked.

Gong Yiling glanced at that person, raised his head and said to Gu Xiangtan: "Can this person be recognized by the Buddha?"

Gu Xiangtan has always had a photographic memory, so he nodded his head: "I should have seen it when I came here before, Aunt Liu in front of the queen?"

Hearing that her name was called, Aunt Liu jumped up suddenly, and wanted to rush up to hug Gu Xiangtan's leg, but was grabbed by the guards on both sides, and then turned to beg Gong Yiling, kowtowing her head incessantly Come.

"Crown princess...Princess concubine, my servant is wrong... I don't know that Mei is so vicious... She came to the East Palace to give gifts to the emperor's grandson a while ago, and brought a lot to the queen... Slave Think, think..."

Gong Yiling raised his brows: "You think she has friendship with me? Or did you please the queen? So you told her that the emperor and grandson might not go to Bodhi Mountain together on the Mid-Autumn Festival? How did you know?" of?"

Seeing Aunt Liu crying, Gong Yiling raised his voice and shouted: "Say!"

Aunt Liu was so frightened that she prostrated herself on the ground: "I happened to hear you talking to the maid in the room one day, and then... Then I met Mei Jianyou in Fengxia Palace to visit the queen... The servant just kept talking. She mentioned that the emperor's grandson is not feeling well, and the Crown Princess may not let him go to Bodhi Mountain, but the servants beside him really didn't say much...The Crown Princess spares her life, the Crown Princess spares her life!"

Gong Yiling looked up at Gu Xiangtan.

Gu Xiangtan said: "The Crown Princess has always valued the emperor's grandson the most. How can Bodhi Mountain let him stay in the palace alone? To Mei Jianyou, who is as careful and astute as Mei Jianyou, there must be something strange about this matter." It's just that he knew that he was on good terms with the Crown Princess, and he deduced that the Crown Princess would hand over the emperor's grandson to him. If there was a change in the capital on the Mid-Autumn Festival, Gu Xiangtan would take Zhao Xi to hide in the most safe place for him. In the Shimen Temple, this series of scheming is not as clear as Mei Jianyou would have.

Gu Xiangtan couldn't help squinting his eyes when he thought of the two people who had just been engaged before. It seemed that they got married earlier than he thought, and with that person's idea, thinking about it this way, the trick would be smooth. It's over.

"Lingfo seems to have already guessed who it is?"

Gu Xiangtan's face was gloomy. He was actually a little skeptical that day, but thinking that Zhao Sui came to the temple to find him behind Zhao Ze, and blocked so many knives for him that he almost died, Gu Xiangtan suppressed this thought, but once he returned After arriving in Beijing, after thinking about it carefully, Gu Xiangtan will not continue to be so confused.

It's just that he didn't answer Gong Yiling's words, but instead said: "You arrested this Aunt Liu, the queen must know, no wonder she accepted this marriage."

How could Gong Yiling not be able to tell that Gu Xiangtan was poking at his own sore spot, the queen loves the emperor's grandson so much, but now she is marrying someone who almost hurt Zhao Xi. And the relationship between her and Gong Yiling is probably broken.

Gong Yiling looked at the withered locust tree beside the garden corridor, and said lightly: "The queen is kind to me, but Xi'er is more important than my life, I will not do anything to her, but from now on, The empress should also take good care of her life and stop worrying so much."

Gu Xiangtan thought of the queen's appearance. Although she married a mediocre husband and gave birth to a dull son, she was still a person with an exquisite mind. If her hands and feet were really tied, she might not live long.

"As for the person next to him who has a dark heart..." Gong Yiling turned his head, "Since the words leaked from me, I will give Lingfo an explanation."

Gu Xiangtan lowered his eyes and said nothing.

Gong Yiling is very good at observing words and expressions: "Does Lingfo have other concerns?"

Gu Xiangtan hesitated for a long time before he opened his mouth and said, "Prince Princess, do you still remember the matter of the last generation of Lingfo who appointed Zongzheng Emperor?"

Gong Yiling nodded: "The Spirit Buddha can recognize real dragons..." This is something that is well known to all people in the world, and it is also something that Zhao Dian and Zhao You have feared thousands of times. If the emperor does not have the approval of the Spirit Buddha, it will be difficult to accept public.

Speaking of this, Gong Yiling's eyes suddenly widened: "Could it be that Zhao Su..."

"Zhao Su..." Gu Xiangtan clenched his teeth, "Has the appearance of an emperor..."

Gong Yiling was surprised.

Gu Xiangtan sighed: "There is always a definite order in everything..." Gu Xiangtan relived his life, and he was full of fighting spirit. He tried his best to save the regrets of the past, but Cao Qin's death seemed like A thunderbolt struck him so hard that he couldn't breathe even now.He has never been afraid of difficulties and dangers, but Gu Xiangtan has too many people to worry about. He believes in Buddhism, karma, reincarnation, retribution, and fate. He is not sure that Zhao Su became the final winner in the previous life. Is it predestined by God? If so, will he renege on his fate and bring about even greater disasters this time?

Killing a Zhao Su is a trivial matter, but what about killing a Ninth Five-Year Lord who should have been on the Great Treasure?

This is also what Gu Xiangtan has been hesitating about facing Zhao Su. The more everything seems to be calm at first, and the people who are still alive are safe and healthy, and the future is bright, the less he dares to take risks...

Gong Yiling was stunned for a moment before she came back to her senses, and then she asked: "What about Zhao Yuan?!"

Gu Xiangtan was startled, but did not speak.

However, Gong Yiling asked: "What if Zhao Yuan also wants the Ninth Five-Year position? Daye has today. In the past, there was a great prince who was loyal and courageous to protect his family and defend the country, and later he had his adopted son, Bi Xuedan, who was devoted to the country. If Nothing happened to Zhao Mi back then, and Emperor Zongzheng didn't have the protection of the powers he left behind. Where did Zhao You's prestige come from for so many years? If there is one person in this world who is truly worthy of sitting on this seat, it is only the eldest prince's son-in-law. The eldest son..."

Gu Xiangtan pursed his lips, his jaw was tense, and he looked at Gong Yiling without hesitation, his gaze resolute: "That's natural, as long as he wants to..."

Gong Yiling nodded: "In that case, in fact, Lingfo has already made a choice from the very beginning."

Gu Xiangtan put away the trance on his face, and recovered his indifference. He exhaled a breath of stale air in his chest and abdomen, and said softly: "Yes, what the princess said is very true, just like what you promised before. That night, so many lives were killed by that person, the abbot, Zen master and monks who saved me in Shimen Temple, and General Cao...I should give them an explanation!"
