After killing four concubines, the queen was sentenced to death and reborn

On the second morning, the dawn began to appear in the sky and a thin mist surrounded the ancient temple. Lu Lingyuan and her companions prepared to say goodbye to the abbot and set off for Beijing.

In front of the temple gate, ancient trees towered, morning bells rang, and Chu Sheng, dressed in plain clothes and standing tall, was bidding farewell to the abbot of the temple. His words were full of sincerity: "The abbot is kind and has protected me for many years. Chu Sheng will always remember it in his heart. We are saying goodbye today. I hope the abbot will take care of himself!"

The abbot gazed at Chu Sheng, his eyes full of love and expectation, and said slowly: "Chu Sheng, you have an unruly temperament, like a wild crane and a lonely cloud, but I hope that in the future your heart will be like glass, not disturbed by the mundane world, walking in the world, open-minded and fearless, with the light of wisdom as deep as the sea, and with a compassionate heart, making good friends." After speaking, the abbot patted Chu Sheng's shoulder gently, and the strength contained in that pat was filled with endless blessings and expectations.

Chu Sheng's face became more solemn when he heard this, and a warm current surged in his heart. He felt so grateful to the abbot that he could not express it in words. He just bowed deeply and said, "I will remember the abbot's teachings and live up to your expectations."

At this moment, a breeze blew by, bringing with it Lu Lingyuan's faint fragrance. She happened to walk to the door and recognized him at a glance as the man from last night. She inadvertently heard the word Chu Sheng. Is this his name?

She bit her lower lip lightly, her eyes involuntarily attracted to him, but she quickly withdrew them, maintaining the reserve and composure of a girl from an aristocratic family. She took a few steps forward, clasped her hands together, and said softly to the abbot: "Please forgive me for disturbing you last night." Her voice was gentle, like a ray of spring breeze.

The abbot smiled and nodded, saying gently, "You are too kind, lady. Buddhism is a vast sect that saves all living beings. Why would you say you are disturbing me?"

Chu Sheng stood quietly by the side, occasionally glancing at Lu Lingyuan, but he said nothing. There seemed to be a tacit understanding between the two, and neither of them mentioned what happened yesterday.

Lu Lingyuan asked the housekeeper to add incense money as a sign of respect, and then prepared to leave. At the moment of passing by, she deliberately let the cloud pattern jade pendant in her hand slip gently, and the crisp sound was particularly clear in the morning air. She pretended to be surprised, turned to look at Chu Sheng, and asked softly: "Sir, is this jade pendant your lost item?" There was a questioning tone in her words, and her eyes flickered slightly, as if she was hinting at something.

Chu Sheng was slightly startled, then he bent down to pick up the jade pendant, his eyes met with Lu Lingyuan again, and he understood. He smiled gently, took the jade pendant in his hand, and said in a gentle but firm voice: "Thank you for reminding me, this jade pendant is indeed mine." After that, everything seemed to be self-evident.

He found that the jade pendant was missing when he came back yesterday. He had been wearing it since the day he came to the temple. The abbot said that it must have been left to him by his parents and was very important to him.

"That's good. This jade pendant must be a precious thing to you, young master. You must be careful with it in the future and never lose it again." Lu Lingyuan said in a deep voice.

"Thank you!" Chu Sheng replied in a deep voice.

Lu Lingyuan smiled calmly, then turned around and got on the carriage, saying in a cold voice: "Let's go!"

"Yes."

The carriage left, and Chu Sheng held the jade pendant in his hand. The jade pendant was still warm, and he smiled slightly with deep meaning.

The abbot saw everything and said, "Everything in the world has its own law because of fate."

"Chu Sheng, have you thought about what to do after you come down the mountain?" the abbot asked again.

"The abbot taught me kung fu for a lifetime. I want to join the army, serve the court, and make great achievements!" Chu Sheng looked determined with a gleam in his eyes.

"Amitabha! Buddhism is in the world and is inseparable from worldly awareness. I hope you can be compassionate, win with wisdom, and reduce unnecessary killing and suffering! May the Buddha bless you to return safely!" The abbot knew very well that with Chu Sheng's bravery and martial arts, he would become a famous general in time.

"May the Buddha bless the abbot, filling him with joy and increasing his blessings and wisdom. When I return safely, I will discuss Buddhism with the abbot and share peace with him!" Chu Sheng bowed deeply, his face full of gratitude towards the abbot.

"Amitabha!" The abbot put his hands together and bowed devoutly.

Afterwards, Chu Sheng picked up his bag, tied the jade pendant around his waist, and left with a determined look in his eyes.
