Empress dowager, the queen sighed

Li Lexi returned to Luoyang City from Shaodu, and went to the mutton restaurant without looking for it.

Unexpectedly, she saw three little girls sitting and eating around a table. She took a few glances, ordered a bowl of tea at the tea shop opposite, and sat down to watch slowly.

The tea shop has set up a tea shed outside, and the guests like to sit inside, and she is the only one sitting under the tea shed.

The guests who come and go will take a look at it, which is quite conspicuous.

Li Puyu in the mutton restaurant met Meng Yun's eyes, and Li Puyu was even more angry from the bottom of his heart, "Don't you understand the principle of seeing no evil?"

Meng Yun blushed and apologized repeatedly.Pei Yao glanced at the two of them, pretended nothing happened, and pulled the wrist of the 'big girl' from under the table, signaling her not to quarrel any more.

Feeling helpless for a while, Li Puyu held Pei Yao's hand, and the two held hands together.

Li Lexi in the outside room suddenly stood up, threw a few pennies to the shopkeeper, and walked straight into the restaurant by himself.

The boss of the restaurant greeted her warmly, before he could speak, he saw the other party walking directly inside, there was an acquaintance there, he was reluctant to make a sound, and smiled to show respect.

Li Puyu felt a gust of wind blowing in front of her, and her hand was brushed away, and when she looked up, she saw the Empress Dowager standing in front of her, her heart trembled.

"Eating." After brushing Li Puyu away, Li Lexi sat down at Pei Yao's square table, wrapped her arms around Pei Yao's waist, and pinched the sachet around Pei Yao's waist, pretending to be indifferent He greeted the two of them.

Meng Yun was also shocked, and stood up instinctively to salute.

Li Lexi sneered, "The big men are dead, why are you still saluting?"

"Yes, yes." Meng Yun sat down tremblingly, her eyes rested on Pei Yao's waist, she tightly pursed her mouth, not knowing what to say.

Pei Yao was a little surprised, but was soon attracted by the mutton, and didn't say a word.

Li Lexi pinched her and said, "Go back and recite scriptures after eating."

Pei Yao frowned, probably because the Empress Dowager found some interesting book again.

The other two didn't dare to move their chopsticks anymore, and the atmosphere was tense for a moment.

Pei Yao was very full, so she went to pay the money by herself and left the table temporarily.

Li Lexi turned the cup, pressing the bottom of the cup with her slender and white fingertips, turning it slightly, and the cup started to spin on the wooden table.

The hearts of the two little girls became tense as they stared at the spinning cups.

Li Lexi spoke first: "I heard that Doctor Meng wants to enter the Imperial Hospital?"

"Yes, yes, but there is no precedent for a woman to be an official. Your Majesty refused." Meng Yun cheered up and replied.

"It's because you don't have the ability to go in. I'll give you a chance. After you go in, you can see and learn more than those old stubborn people." Li Lexi stretched out her hand to hold the rotating cup, her palm pressed against the bottom of the cup, the back of her hand was as white as jade, The joints are distinct.

Meng Yun was a little surprised, "Why did you help me?"

"Forget about those things." Li Lexi raised her eyes, staring at Meng Yun opposite.

Meng Yun was suspicious, met her icy eyes, remembered that Pei Yao didn't know her, and shuddered, "It's you, it's you who deprived His Highness of his memory."

"One day, I will return it to her." Li Lexi's tone was cold.

Meng Yun said angrily: "Memory is a part of the body, why can you hurt her?"

"It's just because I can protect her and let her grow up happily and carefree." Li Lexi twitched her lips and mocked.

"You hurt her, and what you said about protection and worry-free is all your imagination. In short, you are selfish and let her live as you imagined. Without you, she can still live. You forced her to die Is this to protect her?" Meng Yun was so angry that she forgot her fear.

In contrast, Li Lexi was calm, without even twitching her eyelashes, and said slowly, "Zhao's poison. Killing Pei Yao, shouldn't he die?"

The tone was casual and careless, and the listener was somewhat resented by her.

"Poison. Kill? Do you have evidence? The queen is His Highness's mother. Did you ever think about Your Highness when you killed her?" Meng Yun felt that the person in front of her was cold and heartless, and she didn't know what family affection was.

For Pei Yao's sake, the queen shouldn't be forced to death.

Pei Yao was negotiating with the shopkeeper, when the voice came over, Li Lexi smiled, turned the cup again, and said to Meng Yun, "Don't persuade others to be kind before others suffer. Your mother will kill you, will you still love her?" ?”

Meng Yun choked, Li Puyu kept frowning, obviously unhappy, and said: "If there is evidence, it should be killed. If I don't kill her this time, she will kill Your Highness in the past."

If I tried to kill him once and was lucky enough to bypass it, there will be another time, and next time.

"It's a life, and it should be given a chance to change." Meng Yun stood up angrily.

Pei Yao looked over, and Li Lexi also stood up, blocking Pei Yao's sight, and the cup under her hands turned faster, "Then I wish you to be poisoned. Please spare that person again. Meng Yun, you If she stood behind Pei Yao, I'm afraid she would have died many times."

"You caused all of this today. If you don't kill Pei Ze, and don't force His Majesty to make Pei Yao the princess, nothing will happen today." Meng Yun argued hard.

Li Lexi smiled lightly: "I didn't let the Pei family abandon Pei Yao, and I didn't let Pei Ze like my younger sister and let my own sister suffer. Without antecedents, there are no consequences."

"What are you talking about?" Pei Yao walked over quickly after paying the bill, and just now she heard the sound of the cups clinking and turning, but she couldn't hear what they said.

The smile on the corners of Li Lexi's lips deepened by two points, she stabilized the rotating cup, turned the cup over, put it on the table, and said: "Talk about the cause and effect, Mrs. Wuwang, do you think it's right?"

"Causes and consequences?" Pei Yao blinked and looked at Li Puyu who looked normal.

Li Puyu didn't know how to answer, in fact, she felt that the Empress Dowager was right, if others wanted to kill me, I should fight back.

Blindly giving in will only make the opponent worse.

She laughed and said: "Without a cause, there is no result. The consequence and the cause are connected together."

"You can become a nun now." Pei Yao glared at Li Puyu, then held Miss Li's hand, "Go back and recite scriptures."

Li Lexi said: "Go back and read the scriptures of confession, the kind that can wash away the sins in your heart."

Pei Yao was so surprised that she couldn't walk, she looked at her silently.

Li Puyu took the initiative: "In this case, I will go to other places to see first, Your Highness will go first."

Meng Yun was not convinced, and said in a strange way: "Memory is a part of the body, and I hope you will return it to her as soon as possible."

After finishing speaking, he also left, and agreed with the patient that he would see a doctor today, and he should not waste time.

The two left first, and Pei Yao came out of surprise slowly, "Are you sure you want to chant scriptures?"

"Read." Li Lexi said something, led the dazed little girl, walked to the horse, and patted her on the head: "Get on the horse."

Pei Yao curled her lips, a little unbelievable, and got on the horse's back, "Did you take the wrong medicine?"

Li Lexi did not respond to her, but followed her on the horse, took her into his arms, whipped her violently, and galloped towards the nunnery.

The wind was blowing, and the cheeks were scratched raw.

After arriving at the nunnery, Ruoyun came to greet her, Pei Yao dismounted, Li Lexi walked towards the nunnery in front, Pei Yao couldn't wait to follow.

"It's useless to read for a day." Pei Yao reminded loudly.

Li Lexi stopped in her tracks: "How long will it take?"

"July 49th." Pei Yao's voice trailed off.

Li Lexi stared at her, speechless for a while, and finally left her behind, "Don't come to me on the 49th."

Pei Yao became anxious, and raised her foot to catch up, "That's not the case, we can read it when we go back."

"No, sincerity will lead to success, you go back." Li Lexi refused her bluntly.

Pei Yao stopped in the middle of the road, and walked back unwillingly. Miss Li must have been stimulated, otherwise she would not have read the scriptures.

Back in the backyard, a pair of shoes were covered with mud, Qingzhu knelt down to change her shoes, and said: "Master Jing'an returned the money you gave me yesterday."

"Then keep it." Pei Yao knew that the master would not accept it, and the master's disposition was like this. He would not feel that the life in the nunnery was miserable, but instead took pleasure in it.

Pei Yao tried her best to smile, without getting angry or worried, and said to Qing Zhu: "You go to the nunnery to see Miss Li later, she said that she wants to read the scriptures for the 49th day."

"The scriptures on the 49th?" Qingzhu was taken aback. Miss Li is a person who doesn't believe in gods and Buddhas. How could she think about chanting scriptures? She didn't feel worried: "Did something happen?"

"I don't know, go and have a look and bring some food." Pei Yao suddenly felt a little unbearable. The strong don't believe in gods and Buddhas, but in themselves. Now, Miss Li went to chant scriptures, as if something serious had happened.

She didn't wait any longer, put on her shoes, and hurried to the nunnery.

*****

The nunnery was doing lunch classes, and when I stepped into the courtyard, I heard the sound of chanting.

Pei Yao cautiously entered the main hall, trying to find Miss Li, but when she looked around, she was nowhere to be found, so she quickly retreated out.

If there is no hall, it should be in a small hall.

After the nunnery was repaired, the mud in the main hall was turned into bricks, as was the small hall. There are three small halls.Pei Yao touched them one by one, two doors were open and one was closed.

Miss Li should be in the closed small hall, she pushed the door, and the door was bolted from the inside.

"Miss Li, Miss Li."

No one answered.

Pei Yao sat down on the threshold, arranged the hem of her skirt, faced the door, and put her eyes into the crack of the door.It was so dark inside that you couldn't see it, not even the Bodhisattva.

Pei Yao called out two more times: "Li Lexi, Li Lexi."

Still no answer.

Pei Yao sat still, leaning her head against the door, yawned lazily, and closed her eyes.Ignoring her, she just fell asleep for a while.

The afternoon passed quickly. After the afternoon class, people in the main hall came out one after another. Seeing the apprentice taking a nap, Jing An felt pain in his heart, and hurried over, "Hopeless, hopeless."

Others were not surprised to see Wuwang, after all, she lived in the backyard, so she was considered a neighbor.

They dispersed separately, Jing'an patted Pei Yao's face, "Who are you waiting for?"

"Miss Li." Pei Yao said in a daze, feeling a little cold, found a source of heat and burrowed into Master's arms.

Jing'an was thrown into her arms, distressed and helpless, but when she looked up, she saw the door opened, and she hurriedly let go.

"Miss Li." Jing An motioned her to hug Pei Yao.

Li Lexi leaned over, reached out to hug him, and said to Jing'an, "Thank you."

"Miss Li is serious, I thank you." Jing An folded her hands together and bowed to Li Lexi.

Li Lexi didn't reply, but turned around and walked in with Pei Yao in her arms, closing the hall door.

Jing'an looked at the familiar palace gate, her eyes darkened, she swallowed too many words, as if nothing happened.

There is only one Bodhisattva in the small hall, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, and compassion for all living beings.

Li Lexi has never believed in gods and Buddhas. She placed Pei Yao on the futon, sat down by herself, and looked at the Bodhisattva.

The corners of the bodhisattva's lips curved slightly, like a smile but not a smile. Li Lexi didn't know this bodhisattva, and he didn't plan to investigate further.

After watching for a while, she bent her eyes and leaned over to kiss the corner of Pei Yao's lips.

There is a lingering fragrance burning in the small hall.

Pei Yao woke up and stared at Li Lexi.

Li Lexi raised her head to look at the Bodhisattva.

The two did not look at each other. Pei Yao woke up for a while, but still felt sleepy, and fell asleep again holding Miss Li's arms.

At some point, Li Lexi smiled, looking at the compassionate Bodhisattva, with a strong scent of sandalwood, she smiled softly, "I never believe in gods."

She calls herself the Queen of Chu Yuan.

In the future, she will be Pei Yao's queen.

Man will conquer the sky, why bother to worship Buddha.Buddha saves all living beings, why does he save himself.

Believing in and worshiping Buddha is nothing more than seeking peace of mind.Even if the bodhisattva really exists, she is not afraid of anything,

After a long time, Li Lexi hugged Pei Yao and left the small hall without looking back.

Back in the backyard, Pei Yao woke up, turned over on the bed, and looked at the woman who was changing clothes. The graceful curvature of the shoulders on the back made people imagine, and the waist was slender under the shoulders.

Every inch of skin is like a continuous snow mountain.

If you can stand on the snow-capped mountains and look at the scenery, it is also good.

"Are you awake?" Li Lexi turned around, her eyes fell on Pei Yao's eyes, the corners of her lips curled up, "What's for dinner?"

"I want to eat Li Lexi." Pei Yao propped her chin, lying on the bed with her whole body, showing off her legs.

Li Lexi glanced at her: "No, but I want to eat the hopeless little teacher."

Pei Yao pouted: "Miss Li, do you want to eat steamed or braised?"

"How to eat steamed?" Li Lexi asked.

Pei Yao said: "Steaming is to put some water, sprinkle some minced green onion and ginger, and steam on hot water."

"You mean to put you on hot water, sprinkle some flower petals, wait until your whole body turns red, and then eat it bit by bit?"

Pei Yao got up and wanted to cover her mouth, but Li Lexi was unmoved: "How do you eat braised pork?"

"Braised in soy sauce, just put some sauce and dry roast." Pei Yao gritted her teeth.

Li Lexi nodded, "Red burning is to put you on the couch, hard on you."

Pei Yao covered that bad mouth, "You've lived for a hundred years, and that's how you play?"

"Living for a hundred years always has some advantages. My advantage is to watch you be born, watch you grow up, and then slowly eat you up." Li Lexi chuckled.

"Do you think I'm a rabbit?" Pei Yao was displeased. She watched the rabbit give birth to cubs, then stole the cubs home and raised them slowly.

Li Lexi raised her lips with a smile, unexpectedly Pei Yao rushed over, she caught her warm body, "Your Majesty the future emperor, you should go back to the palace."

"Old girl, how many years have you been staring at me?" Pei Yao pressed Miss Li on the couch, and asked her by the ear.

"Be more elegant." Li Lexi pressed Pei Yao's hands, shackled her hands, looked at her irritable and helpless appearance with a smile, and said with a clever smile: "Little bunny, what do you want to ask?"

"Did I like Meng Yun before?" Pei Yao didn't hide it, feeling uncomfortable.

The smile on the corners of Li Lexi's lips was suppressed, and she said after a while: "Do you still like her?"

"I can't remember her, why do I like her?" Pei Yao felt that the strength in her hands had relaxed a lot, she took the opportunity to break free, "Tell me, what did you do to me?"

Li Lexi was in a daze for a while, "Did Meng Yun tell you?"

"Tell me first, what did you take from me?" Pei Yao pinched Li Lexi's neck, pretending to be fierce.

Li Lexi easily pushed away Pei Yao's wrist, and said with a sneer, "It's just a bad memory."

"Are you so confident?" Pei Yao's eyes dimmed suddenly, looking at the indifference on Li Lexi's face, she felt unprecedented disappointment, "That is something that belongs to me."

"You asked me to take it away." Li Lexi tidied up her skirts slowly, with an indifferent curve on the corners of her lips.

Pei Yao snorted, "Then you pay me back now."

"If you take it away, there is no reason to return it." Li Lexi refused, wanting to go back?

She smiled and looked at Pei Yao: "Do you think I'm a god? Take it if you want, and pay it back if you want?"

"You can, you just don't want to pay it back." Pei Yao insisted on her own thoughts.

Li Lexi's eyes returned to the coldness of the past, without any warmth, "It's not enough."

"Yes." Pei Yao shouted loudly, "You are deceiving me."

"Cheating?" Li Lexi smiled sarcastically, stood up, and stood tall in front of Pei Yao, "You have lied to me too."

"I, I didn't lie to you." Pei Yao was in a daze, when did she deceive Li Lexi.

Seeing that she was confused, Li Lexi emphasized her tone: "You have lied to me many times."

"No, no, you are lying to me, you return those memories to me." Pei Yao was really angry, feeling her mind was in a mess, "If you don't return me, I won't want you."

Li Lexi was stunned, and immediately said: "I don't want you now, let's go."

Pei Yao cried, her eyes rolled in their sockets, "Let's go, I'll go down the mountain to find a house by myself."

After saying that, he went to pack his bags childishly, the green bamboo outside the house and Ruoyun looked at each other, and hurriedly went into the house to persuade him.

As soon as they got to the door, the door was closed with a bang, and the two looked at each other, before taking the initiative to stop.

Qingzhu was afraid that Pei Yao would be bullied by Miss Li, so she looked at Ruoyun worriedly: "Don't let us persuade?"

Ruoyun also looked at a loss, and quietly tugged on Qingzhu's cuff: "If you don't let me persuade you, don't persuade me, our master is good to your master."

Qingzhu narrowed his eyes and glanced inside, but couldn't see anything, and leaned against the window to listen again, and there was a bang bang bang sound coming from inside.

It's okay if you don't listen, but when you hear it, your heart beats fast with fright, "It seems, it seems to be fighting."

As soon as the words fell, I heard Miss Li's voice inside: "I didn't touch her."

Qingzhu was so frightened that she immediately took two steps back, what was that thumping sound just now?

Pei Yao was packing the money box in the house, Li Lexi squinted at her: "I earned the money."

Meaning you can't take it away.

Pei Yao was stunned for a moment, "Gifts cannot be taken back."

"You don't want me anymore, how dare you take the money I gave you?" Li Lexi sat on the couch, squinting at the little thing.

But Pei Yao said: "Of course I'm not ashamed to take my money." She stuffed it into her own bag, ignoring Li Lexi's indifferent eyes.

The money is the most important thing. After she took the money, she went to find her own notebook on the bed, stuffed it in again, and took a few more jackets.

Miss Li reminded her again: "I bought the jacket with money."

"This is from Qingzhu, did you put your name on it?" Pei Yao cheekily continued to stuff it in.

The clothes and money were all taken, and there was nothing else to take, so she went out with her luggage in her arms.

Miss Li kindly reminded her: "You don't want to take the jelly beans?"

"Yes, the jelly beans are mine and have nothing to do with you." Pei Yao patted her head, went to find her own jelly beans in the cabinet, threw away the box, wrapped it in oiled paper and stuffed it into a sachet.

The sachet was too small to fit, so she crunched it all by herself and swallowed it.

Miss Li said: "You can't finish eating, give me a few."

"It's a good idea, I won't give it to you if you throw it away." Pei Yao glared back, threw the uneatable jelly beans on the ground, and stomped her feet several times before giving up.

"Tut tsk tsk." Li Lexi shook her head as she watched, she was not as cruel as a small thing, she would rather throw it away than let her eat it.

It has been so many years in vain!

After stepping on the candy, Pei Yao was sure that nothing was left behind, and then opened the door to leave.

Miss Li thought for a while, and then said: "There are still a lot of sauces you bought in the kitchen, don't you want to take them away?"

"No..." Pei Yao stopped in time, she couldn't take advantage of Li Lexi.

Pei Yao put down her things and ran to the kitchen.

Qingzhu looked at the big bags and small bags, and her mind was a little dazed, "Your Highness is leaving?"

Ruoyun looked at the master in the room, and said cautiously, "Would you like to persuade me?"

"Don't persuade her. Her legs are on her body. She can walk as long as she likes." Li Lexi didn't even look at it, her eyes only fell on the jelly beans on the ground, lamenting in her heart, it's fine to hide it and not let her eat it .If you leave, you have to throw it away.

What kind of thing did you raise yourself?

Pei Yao came out of the kitchen with empty hands, walked to the door, picked up her bags and left.

Qingzhu hurriedly stopped her, "Where are you going?"

"Stay in an inn." Pei Yao said.

Miss Li in the room kindly reminded her: "The inn is not cheap, it costs a few dollars a day, maybe there are thieves coming to steal money."

"Don't worry about it, just shut up." Pei Yao finally stiffened.

Miss Li closed her mouth in embarrassment, and looked at Pei Yao eagerly. The next moment, she walked over to take a look at her sachet.

Pei Yao told her to shut up, so she couldn't speak.

She went back to the house to find a rope and handed it to Pei Yao.

Pei Yao was puzzled, but still took it, and then watched Miss Li tie one end of the rope around her own wrist, Pei Yao was confused: "What are you doing?"

Li Lexi handed the bag to Pei Yao, and pointed to the door, meaning: You can go!

Qingzhu and Ruoyun immediately understood, covered their lips and smiled.

Pei Yao threw the rope and said angrily, "Why do I take you with me when I leave?"

Li Lexi calmed down: "You took my silver and my clothes, and you said I gave them to you, and they belonged to you. In this case, I also gave it to you, and you should also take it with you." Walk."

"Shameless." Pei Yao scolded, picked up her bag and left, walked out of the house, and found Li Lexi following her, "Don't follow me."

Li Lexi looked up at the sky, but didn't speak.

Pei Yao trotted out of the backyard with the sachet in her arms, looked while walking, went out of the mountain gate, looked back, Li Lexi followed.

She stopped, "Do you want face?"

Li Lexi slowly put a piece of candy into his mouth: "No more."
