Pour the glass

Dayunguo Temple is located in the east of Lin'an. There are ten Buddhist halls, three pagodas, and three hundred and three monks. It is a place where various dignitaries and nobles in Dayun burn incense and worship Buddha.

On the eve of the Qingming Festival, the incense in the national temple gradually began to flourish, and the security gradually became stricter, because this was the annual sacrificial ceremony of the Dayun royal family, and the idlers were all invited out of the Buddhist temple.

The sun was shining, and Ziyuan disguised herself as a farmer's woman and followed a group of hired workers into the Buddhist temple to clean the pillars. From time to time, she secretly looked at everything in the Buddhist temple. There are seven wells in the Buddhist temple, all of which come from the same dark spring, and they only cast crotons at night. In minutes, it will take effect early in the morning of the second day.

Earlier, if a monk had diarrhea, he would keep silent for fear of affecting the royal ceremony. It was not until everyone in the royal family had the same diarrhea that major events would be triggered and everything would be on the right track.

Ziyuan planned the timing of throwing croton rice points, carefully calculated the shift time of the guards on duty at the National Temple, and planned to sneak in here at night with croton rice points, and put the plan into reality.

As the sun was setting and the sun was sinking, Ziyuan followed the peasant women out of the temple, feeling confident after a day's work.

Until the night was getting darker, in the middle of the night, Ziyuan sneaked out of the National Temple with a big black cloth package on her back, carefully crouched in the grass, and waited patiently for the moment when the shift was changed.

"If you are like this, you may not be able to go in at dawn!" Suddenly, there was a cold shout from behind, and A Ling quietly came to the side, said in a low voice, took out a black scarf to cover her face, and walked quickly. Out of the grass.

"Who is it!" The guard on duty yelled, and he had already seen the black shadow of A Ling scurrying into the grass on the other side. The guard on duty immediately ordered, "You guys come to guard the gate, let's go and search!"

Ah Ling led away a few guards on duty, which was enough for the guards who rushed to take their place to not be able to see what was going on here for a moment.Seeing the situation clearly, Ziyuan immediately flew up the red wall of the Buddhist temple and jumped into the national temple.

The National Temple has been repaired by three generations of Dayun emperors, and now it is very magnificent. In the night, the Buddha lamps are faint. Stepping here is like stepping into the heavenly Buddha kingdom, which makes people feel inexplicable respect from the bottom of their hearts.

Ziyuan was secretly amazed in her heart, her eyes hurriedly glanced over the eaves and eaves depicting the wonderful Zen paintings, and she felt that she would never forget the magnificent Zen land she saw tonight in this life.

The Buddhist temple is quiet, the more you sneak into the Buddhist temple, the fewer guards are on duty, and the closer you are to one of the seven wells - just put the croton rice you brought into one of the wells, and you're done tonight!

Ziyuan carefully bypassed several patrolling guards, walked through the small corridor, and came to the Buddhist hall in the west courtyard.

"Boom..."

Suddenly, there was a sound of a wooden fish in the Buddhist hall, which was particularly ear-piercing in the silence, and Ziyuan couldn't help but tremble, standing on the ground, forgetting for a moment whether to go or not to go?

"Father is incompetent, let the country be chaotic and chaotic, Aunt Huang, if you are still alive, I am afraid that father will not come to this point." The voice is clear and clear, soft and strong, very pleasant, from the Buddhist hall suddenly sounded.

"Royal father?" Ziyuan thought for a while, the only person Dayun could use this title was the current princess, but Emperor Yunhui had nine daughters in total, except for the eldest princess who died young, the other eight princesses were all living in the world.

Listening to this voice, it is no longer childish, it must be one of the three grown-up princesses.

The second princess has been married as a woman, so she will definitely not come here, and the fourth princess has a domineering reputation, how can she say such words that worry about the country and the people?The only possibility is that the most beautiful princess in Yunguo is named Chushan and named Lingxi.

"Aunt Huang, now that Lingxi has reached the age of marriage, I'm afraid she will either enter the General's Mansion or Prince Anle's Mansion. I just hope that you, Aunt Huang, will have a spirit in the sky and bless Lingxi to fulfill her wish. My Dayun Kingdom will prosper. The king is bright and the minister is loyal."

Ziyuan sighed secretly, everyone said that the girls of the emperor's family are golden branches and jade leaves, but in the end they are not as good as ordinary girls in the folk. This marriage is often a matter of control, and half of life's happiness has to be sacrificed in politics.

"Boom..."

There was another sound of wooden fish, and Ziyuan finally came back to her senses, and hurried to the top of the wall, climbed over the back wall, and landed firmly on the edge of the well below the wall.

Ziyuan hastily poured all the croton rice into it, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, ready to climb over the back wall again and carefully sneak out of the temple.

"call!"

"bass!"

Zi Yuan just climbed over the wall and landed, a gleaming long sword landed on her neck, Zi Yuan screamed inwardly, and looked at the person holding the sword beside her.

The moonlight fell on the sharp edge of the sword, reflecting her bright and peach-like face just right, like a pool of sultry spring water, even if you take a short rest by the pool, you can be intoxicated by the current scenery.

"Who are you?" Her voice was like a bell, but she deliberately suppressed it, as if she didn't want to disturb others.

This voice...isn't it the one who spoke just now?

Ziyuan came back to her senses and finally understood why she said that Princess Chushan was all over the country.

"Don't you say? Climbing a wall in the middle of the night is definitely not a gentleman!" Although Ye Lingxi's voice was soft, it was always filled with a hint of fear, which made people have to answer.

Ziyuan saw that if she really wanted her own life, she would have shouted loudly, but now she didn't shout, leaving only a little room, and then knelt down and said: "Princess, please spare my life, the little one crawled in in the middle of the night, just to avenge grievances." !"

"Revenge?" Ye Lingxi examined Ziyuan's words, and sized her up and down a few times, "You are a dignified man of seven feet, even if you want to redress your grievances, you should know how to find the Ministry of Punishment. Why did you sneak into the National Temple in the middle of the night?"

"Man?" Ziyuan was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that she was wearing a black night clothes, and dressed up as a boy tonight, and immediately bowed heavily to Ye Lingxi, "The princess doesn't know something, the little one is originally The small lieutenant of the imperial guard camp somehow offended Captain Liu, and was secretly assassinated by Captain Liu in the middle of the night. I escaped by luck, but he gave me the notoriety of colluding with witches, and made me I became a living dead. That's why I thought, wait until the Qingming Festival, sneak into the national temple, and sue an imperial court!"

"Lieutenant of the Imperial Guard, Liu Ping?" Ye Lingxi thought carefully about every word said by the young man in front of her. These days, Liu Ping has gotten closer to King Anle, and he is not a good person, just the person in front of him. Nor should it be easily believed.

Ziyuan nodded heavily, raised her face, and met Ye Lingxi's Ruoshui eyes calmly, "Young words are true, if you don't believe the princess, you can tie me up. Once you check the case file, you will know the truth." He stretched out his hands, motioning for Ye Lingxi to tie her up.

"I don't want to be so troublesome." Ye Lingxi laid her icy sword on Ziyuan's neck, "This is an important place of Buddhism. Although it is disrespectful to see blood, I don't care so much tonight. What you just said Say, if it is true, the sword in my palm will not hurt you at all, if it is false, it will surely cut your throat!" Then he asked again in a low voice, "Who are you?"

The coolness brought by Jianfeng's wandering penetrated into the skin, Ziyuan took a breath, straightened her waist, and said solemnly: "If you don't want to change your name, if you don't want to change your surname, my name is Qizi..."

"Shh..."

The sword edge slid across Zi Yuan's neck, and before Zi Yuan finished speaking, Ye Lingxi covered her mouth and dragged her to hide behind the Buddhist hall.

"I clearly heard movement here, why is there nothing?" The two guards pressed their knives and walked into the Buddhist hall, seeing three freshly lit cigarettes curling up, they couldn't help asking suspiciously, "Someone has indeed been here! "

"There is no need to search for anything, you continue to patrol other places." The head guard suddenly waved his hand in this direction, signaling the two guards to leave the Buddhist hall.

"But..." The two guards were very puzzled.

The head of the guard walked over with a dark face, and said in a deep voice: "The emperor hates people mentioning the late eldest princess the most, and Princess Chushan likes the emperor's aunt the most, and she is afraid that the emperor will be unhappy by publicly worshiping the eldest princess, so naturally she will secretly Come early to pay respects, you two are ignorant, hurry up and patrol other places!"

"promise!"

Watching the two guards leave the Buddhist hall, the head guard hurriedly bowed to the altar where the eldest princess was enshrined, "Your Highness, please rest assured to pay respects, the humble post will no longer disturb the princess, and there will be no free time tomorrow." Spread gossip to the emperor."

"Thank you." Ye Lingxi replied, the head of the guard blushed, bowed his head and left the Buddhist hall.

"It turns out that you, princess, are also secretly..." Ziyuan stopped talking in the middle of her sentence, bowed her head to Ye Lingxi, "Princess, please forgive me for being reckless tonight."

Ye Lingxi sighed softly, "The misfortune of the country is that moths are rampant, the government is weak, and loyal ministers are sad. I'm afraid that even if you see your father tomorrow, you won't be able to reverse the case."

"Why?"

"You are neither the first nor the last person who died in vain in the court. I advise you to go back earlier, hide your name, and be an ordinary citizen." Ye Lingxi finished speaking lightly, and waved her hand to signal Ziyuan to hurry up. Leave, "You go."

"Thank you, princess." Ziyuan felt a faint respect in her heart, looking at the current court, Wen You An Le Wang Cao Ya left and right memorials, Wu You Zheng Guo's great general Shen You has a heavy army in his hands, and there is a great inner palace chief in the harem calling the wind and rain , There are three beetles in the country, but today's son turns a blind eye.

Only the princess of Chushan in front of her, who worries about the country and the people, is just a drop in the ocean and has no power.

After Ziyuan thanked Ye Lingxi, she hurriedly and carefully left here.

On the eaves of the Buddhist hall, an old palace servant suddenly flew down and bowed respectfully to Ye Lingxi, "Princess, this person seems to have been poisoned in the well just now, why did you let him go?"

Ye Lingxi sighed and said, "Go and see how to detoxify. I don't want my father to know about my coming to pay homage to my aunt tonight." After finishing speaking, she looked at the old palace slave in front of her, "After all, this place is the place to be." It's a pure place of Buddhism, I really don't want blood to pollute here and disturb the spirit of Aunt Huang in heaven."

"promise."
