Daoist Abandoned Wisdom

It stands to reason that one should go to the ancestral temple, not the forbidden palace, to pray for the late emperor.But because he is wearing a sinful body, it is reasonable to go to the Forbidden Palace.

The palace servants took Yuan Yao to a secluded place, closed the door without saying much.The place is very secluded and no human voice can be heard. On the altar, a spiritual tablet of the late emperor was placed and incense candles were lit.Yuan Yao stepped forward, the incense candle was about to burn out, he took a new light from the side, and silently watched the spiritual tablet.

This is not a formal prayer place, it is like a temporary building.Behind the altar, there is a small living room with a bed and stool, which has been covered with a thin layer of dust.

It seems that this place is specially prepared for offenders to contemplate their mistakes behind closed doors.

In the Forbidden Palace, there are concubines who are grounded, as well as maids and eunuchs.The only one he knew was the second wife of the first emperor, Empress Gao.

Seeing that it was noon, Yuan Yao took out a piece of talisman paper from his sleeve, wrote a few words with incense ash, and threw it out of the window.The talisman paper turned into a white dove and flew towards King Jingzhao's mansion.

If you don't go home too late, Tao Xinian will be worried.He was just punished to pray for the late emperor, and it was not a serious crime.After staying here for seven days, you can leave.

With a "bang", the door was smashed.Not the door he came in just now, but the other side.He opened the door, and there stood a little girl outside the door, about six or seven years old, wearing coarse linen clothes, braided hair, holding a small bamboo ball in her hand.Bells were tied to the bamboo balls, and they jingled.

Yuan Yao was a little surprised that the room used for contemplation was actually connected to the inner courtyard of the Forbidden Palace.When Queen Hu locked him in, didn't she ever consider avoiding suspicion?After all, he is a man, and there is a former empress living in this forbidden palace.

The girl was very curious about the man who suddenly appeared, and asked, "Who are you? Why are you here?"

Yuan Yao thought for a while and said, "Are you Jiande?"

The little girl was surprised: "How do you know my name?"

Princess Jiande is the eldest daughter of the first emperor, born of Empress Gao.Empress Gao Ying had a prince before that, but he died young.It is rumored that Empress Gao killed her youngest son out of fear of Wei Guoli's tradition of killing her mother, but the truth is unknown.

However, the first emperor had a kind heart and a deep relationship with Hu Guipin, so he did not bestow him with death.Therefore, the prince's biological mother, Hu, is now able to become the queen mother, with power in the hands of the government and the public.

Yuan Yao took a step forward, but an elderly woman hurried over and picked up Jiande.

"Little master, don't play around anymore, the empress is going crazy again."

Jiande frowned, and ran into the inner courtyard with a small bamboo ball in his arms.The woman saluted Yuan Yao and left in a hurry.

A woman's scream came from a distance, it was Gao who was going crazy.Although she escaped killing her mother and setting up her son, she couldn't escape the fate of being grounded after the death of the late emperor.Even Jiande was ignored by the royal family, and has been in this forbidden palace, rarely going out.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty...you should kill her! My Great Wei has always set up sons to kill their mothers. Why can we take advantage of her Hu Xianzhen! She will definitely confuse the harem. If you don't believe me, just wait and see..."

"Your Majesty, keep your voice down, keep your voice down..."

"Mom, don't do this."

Yuan Yao didn't have a good impression of Empress Gao Ying. She was too temperamental and almost controlled Yuan Ke a few years ago, so Yuan Ke only had one prince, Yuan Xu.Seeing that the Hu family gave birth to a prince, Gao Ying once wanted Yuan Ke to kill the Hu family according to the rules of killing the mother and setting up a son, so that he could adopt the child himself, continue to be the queen, and then become the queen mother.But her plan failed.

Yuan Yao can't see through Hu Xianzhen.She used to be a nun, and she was recommended by someone to enter the palace to teach Buddhism for the late emperor. She has a beautiful appearance and excellent eloquence, the late emperor was very surprised, Dang even fell in love with her, and ordered her to enter the palace.For her sake, the first emperor actually abolished the rule of killing the mother and setting up the son.

He has always admired Empress Hu's talent and learning, and was also happy that Wei could abolish the custom of setting up sons and killing their mothers.But now Empress Hu seems to have changed, but he can't really say where it has changed, but he just feels that she is not the same as before.

"Don't think I don't know, she killed the Holy Majesty, she killed the Holy Majesty!"

"Don't talk nonsense, ma'am, people will hear you. Hey, slave girl, go get some food first, little master, let's go out."

The door was closed, and Gao Ying still screamed in the room. She smashed the few household items in the room indiscriminately, venting her inner dissatisfaction.

"Who do you say killed the Holy Majesty?"

"Ah?" Gao Ying turned around, but saw a man standing in front of her, and fell to the ground in fright.In order to prevent her from calling people indiscriminately, Yuan Yao put a talisman on her neck, so that she could not make any sound.

"Empress, you just said that the empress dowager killed the first emperor, do you have evidence?"

Gao Ying opened her eyes wide in fear, covered her neck, and stepped back.

"Don't be afraid, I'm not a ghost. I'll help you solve the talisman, don't bark."

Yuan Yao untied the spell on Gao Ying's body, but Gao Ying cringed and couldn't say a complete sentence.Just keep saying "she killed the Holy Majesty..."

Yuan Yao waited for a while, seeing that Gao Ying couldn't say anything fluently, he thought he had lost his mind.People who have lost their minds can't believe what they say.He left disappointed.

Maybe he was worrying too much.It is really suspicious that the first emperor passed away suddenly, who never had a serious illness on weekdays.After he returned to the court, he inquired many ways, but he did not inquire about anything.Cui Guang told him that although the first emperor only suffered from the wind and cold, he died suddenly because of the sudden onset of illness, which was unexpected by everyone.All the soups and medicines I drank have been tested, and there is no problem.

He shouldn't doubt Cui Guang's words, Cui Guang has always been towards him.

It was getting late, Tao Xinian received Yuan Yao's letter, and he couldn't wait to open it.Ah Bo leaned over and asked, "What's going on?"

"Being punished to pray for the late emperor for seven days, in the forbidden palace."

Su also scratched his hair and said, "That's nothing. I'll be back in seven days. You can sleep peacefully. He won't die. It's a pity, tsk tsk, he can't talk about the pagoda two days later." ?"

"Hey, didn't you say you were going back to Pingcheng? There is no reward, so you can go back!" Abo yelled at him.

Su also said confidently: "If there is no reward, he should pay me another five taels of gold. I almost disappeared in the Lost City."

"You almost died, not because you are useless!"

"I'm useless? What did you do? You slept soundly and didn't wake up until Gaochang."

"Okay, Ah Bo, hurry up and cook. Stop arguing, Su Huan, please be quiet!"

Only then did the two "hum" and turned their backs, ignoring each other.

After dinner, after dark, Tao Xinian changed into dark gray plain clothes, knocked on Abo's door, and said, "I'll go to the palace, you have a good rest, don't look for me later."

"Master Dao, it's dangerous for you to go alone, call Su Huan!" Abo put down the half-woven basket in his hand.

Tao Xinian smiled and said: "No, I'm not going to rob the prisoner, I just went to see him. I have seen the location of the forbidden palace on the blueprint. I will avoid the guards and patrol soldiers, and nothing will happen." Said Forget it, take the kit and go to the layman.

Abo was really worried, kicked Su Huan's door open, and said, "You, follow the Taoist priest and protect him completely!"

Su raised his head from the bed slowly and said, "Huh?"

The moment he felt Abo's anger, he immediately got up and said, "Okay, I'll just follow him."

Only then did Abo return to his room in peace and continue weaving straw baskets.The kitchen is already full of his baskets. When he has nothing to do, he concentrates on practicing exercises while weaving baskets.

This trick is quite effective, his appearance looks a little bigger than last year, maybe because he is more refined.
