Xiaoxiang Water Cloud in the Red Chamber

After all, Lu Jingyuan didn't dare to go to Huangjue Temple in broad daylight, it was already evening, the sky was full of sunset, the bells of Huangjue Temple were ringing, it was cold and quiet.Lu Jingyuan ordered the guards to come forward and call for the door, after a while a little novice would open the door, he saw that it was Lu Jingyuan, but he knew it, he clasped his hands together and asked, "What is benefactor Lu doing here, the temple is doing evening classes right now, so there is no time to entertain your son. "

Lu Jingyuan rolled his eyes and said, "It's okay, I just came to offer incense in front of the Buddha at the order of my mother and concubine. I came here because my mother urged me urgently. Little master doesn't care, I just go to the main hall by myself."

The little novice was stunned, how could he come to burn incense at this hour, he could become a monk at any time, but there is a difference between men and women, if it spreads out, it is afraid that people will gossip.So he said: "The master of the main hall is waiting for the evening class. The benefactor will wait a moment, and let the poor nun report to preside over it."

Lu Jingyuan smiled: "The Buddha doesn't allow believers to enter, there is no need to report, I will recognize the way." Saying that, he pushed the little novice away and rushed in.The little novice was shocked immediately, and said: "Don't be a benefactor, how can you enter the royal temple at will, if you don't stop the poor nun, you will call the guards." The little novice hurriedly ran to the courtyard on the left, where the Imperial Forest Army of Huwei Huangjue Temple lived.

It was evening class time, and the monastery was quiet, Lu Jingyuan came to the main hall unimpeded all the way, there were also a hundred or so nuns in the main hall who were chanting scriptures on the futons, and it was strange for the confused nuns to make noise at the door, so they didn't want to be distracted. I was so busy that I collected my mind and recited sutras.

At a glance, Lu Jingyuan saw a young nun sitting on the seat of the deputy host under the Buddha statue at the front.Lu Jingyuan chuckled, walked through the crowd to the Buddha statue and said, "Miss Miaoyu, I haven't seen you for a few years, how have you been?"

Miaoyu had already seen it when Lu Jingyuan came in, and he felt that he would not dare to do anything wrong in the royal temple, so he kept his body still and said indifferently: "Amitabha, if the almsgiver offers incense, you can come back tomorrow. I'm afraid it will be inconvenient at this time. There is nothing wonderful here. Miss Yu, only poor girl Miaoyu."

Lu Jingyuan's expression changed slightly, "I've been in love for several years, and the position of concubine is still reserved for you, how can you be so unfeeling. Miss Miaoyu, I know that the queen asked you to be a substitute, you don't want to, Why don't you just follow me, I'll go ask the emperor to order a marriage tomorrow, how about you and me?"

Those little nuns were thinking that they couldn't keep their minds still, and looked at Miaoyu one after another.

The presiding officer Fakong stood up and said, "Amitabha, goodness, goodness. Don't you fear offending the Buddha by talking nonsense under this Buddha statue?"

Lu Jingyuan snorted: "Old nun, it's none of your business here, so talk less. What nonsense, my son's concubine is detained by you, so how can I offend the Buddha if I come to find her?"

Miaoyu stood up with a cold expression, stared at Lu Jingyuan coldly with her clear eyes, and said, "Lu Jingyuan, don't think that I'm afraid of you. Don't blame the poor nun for being rude if you keep entangled with your words."

Fakong hurriedly said, "Miaoyu, you've become angry again."

Miaoyu lowered her head slightly but seemed a little dissatisfied.Fakong sighed: "The benefactor should leave quickly, otherwise the benefactor will be the one who suffers when the Imperial Forest Army arrives."

Lu Jingyuan must get Miaoyu today, so he sneered and said, "My son's bodyguards are not vegetarian either. I have to take this Miaoyu away today. Anyway, I will go to ask the emperor for a marriage tomorrow. Today is just a step ahead. , I don't believe that the emperor will condemn me for a nun and I am loyal to the palace." He reached out to grab Miaoyu's hand.

Miaoyu was furious, she turned sideways to dodge, and flicked her sleeves, no one noticed that a little white smoke flew out of the sleeves, and flew directly to Lu Jingyuan.Wei Fakong frowned, and said expressionlessly, "Since the benefactor is so determined, why not wait all night and go out!" He raised his voice at the end, and Lu Jingyuan felt his ears buzzing, and with Fakong's sleeves shaking, Lu Jingyuan felt a gentle and long force pushing towards him, and he involuntarily took a few steps back, only then did he realize that the old nun in front of him was not an easy-going lamp.

There was a commotion outside, and then a leader of the Imperial Forest Army came in and said: "Who is making trouble in Huangjue Temple, why don't you leave quickly."

Lu Jingyuan saw that he was only a fourth-rank bodyguard, but there were more than 20 imperial guards behind him. He was not afraid at all, but the old nun in front of him was unexpectedly strong. It seems that he still made a mistake today. He smiled coldly: " Miaoyu, this son will not give up."

Miaoyu didn't reply, but looked at Lu Jingyuan coldly, with imperceptible mockery in her eyes.It's a pity that Lu Jingyuan didn't find out.

Seeing that Lu Jingyuan was gone, the head of the guard hurriedly put his hands together and said, "Master, I have neglected my duty and disturbed the master." After all, they never thought that someone would have the courage to come here to make trouble, so they were actually lax.

Fa Kong said: "The benefactor is too serious, and I have to thank the benefactor for saving the siege."

The man scratched his head in embarrassment, this master's skill is unfathomable, his mat guard really can't deal with Lu Jingyuan, he dare not take credit for it, he hurriedly led others to push him out.But the qualifications rushed into the palace to report the matter to the emperor. After all, the emperor told the four countries to protect Master Miaoyu.

Fakong said to Miaoyu: "You just made a murderous attempt, go back and face the wall for ten days."

Miaoyu hurriedly agreed, and she accepted the punishment. She never thought that she could find the apprentice after hiding here. Why don't she hide once and for all, and save him from marrying others and hurting others? Do something good.

Na Fakong shook his head, Miaoyu's hostility would never be resolved.

Lu Jingyuan went back to the mansion angrily, thinking that tomorrow he should ask his father to come forward and ask the emperor directly. To be honest, he really didn't want to go through his father. The old man was very dissatisfied with the fact that he liked the nun. Now the nun has become the queen's substitute monk. It takes more talking.

However, everything was unpredictable, something happened to Lu Jingyuan on the second day, when Lu Haotian and the princess knew about it, they rushed to see their son.No matter how much Lu Haotian hated his son for not living up to expectations, he was his only flesh and blood after all.Before entering the room, there was already a stench, which made people dizzy and vomit. Those girls and boys couldn't stand it anymore, so they all stood at the door.Lu Haotian immediately said angrily: "How do you serve the master?" The servants hurriedly knelt down and did not dare to argue, but the smell was really disgusting.Lu Haotian resisted the stench and entered the room. The windows of the room were wide open, but he saw his son lying on the big carved bed. Lu Haotian hurriedly asked: "Jingyuan, why are you feeling uncomfortable? Where did the smell come from?"

Lu Jingyuan hummed for a while before saying, "Father, my son just woke up like this today. I don't know why he has this smell on his body. Besides, my son has no strength at all."

Lu Haotian frowned, it was obvious that someone had plotted against him, he hurriedly said: "Did you offend anyone yesterday?"

Lu Jingyuan frowned and said, "Probably not, then Miaoyu shouldn't have such a great ability." As he spoke, he told about Baochai's visit yesterday and even what he did.Lu Haotian was so angry that he scolded: "You are too reckless. If I ask for this, nothing will fail. Why do you go on your own? Not to mention that Fakong is a master, you just take someone to the Buddhist temple to snatch people and pass it on." It doesn't sound good either. Maybe this is the Buddha punishing you."

Lu Jingyuan sneered and said: "I have done many bad things, but I have never seen retribution. I underestimated Miaoyu, she must have poisoned me." Lu Haotian sighed: "We have to wait for the imperial physician to come." In his heart, he was also afraid of retribution, but he didn't fully believe in retribution.

After saying a few more words, Lu Haotian really couldn't bear the smell, so he hurriedly retreated to take a few breaths of fresh air, but he had to pity those servants who had to stand by, and after a while, one of them passed out.But the prince gave the order to die, so they had to take turns to go out to breathe and come back to continue watching.I don't know why Lu Jingyuan, who was the source of the stench, couldn't get fainted, but if he could choose, he would rather faint by himself.

Finally the imperial doctor came, the imperial doctor almost stumbled as soon as he entered the yard, he thought to himself, Your Majesty, do you have something for your minister, so many confidantes came to Lao Chen without looking for anything, why don't you feel sorry for this humble minister What about this old bone.He was in an insecure pulse and hurriedly exited, Lu Haotian said anxiously: "Doctor, what's wrong with my son?"

The imperial doctor smiled wryly and said: "Don't hide it from the lord, I'm afraid the son has been poisoned?"

"What! What kind of poison is this, can it be cured?" King Zhongshun's face suddenly changed.

The imperial doctor said: "By chance, I have seen a legend of Poison Classics, which records this kind of poison. It's a pity that it's just a legend, I never knew that this kind of poison really exists in reality, the formula of the poison is not recorded in the book, let alone the solution, I'm sorry I can't do anything about it."

King Zhongshun's face was livid, and he said, "Are there any other symptoms?"

The imperial doctor shook his head: "Not anymore."

King Zhongshun waved his hand to let the imperial doctor go, and seeing the princess crying like water flooding Jinshan, he became more and more depressed, and said coldly: "Why are you crying, you spoiled Jingyuan like this, and you are obsessed with a nun every day, this time He must have been plotted against." Now that Lu Jingyuan is like this, ordinary people would faint within half an hour of standing in front of him, and he has to rely on others to serve him all his life. Isn't this person useless? Pity him for only this one evil in his life. Cut off children and grandchildren.

The more King Zhongshun thought about it, the more angry he was, he waved his hands and said: "Prepare the sedan chair, the king is going to enter the palace." He secretly hated: Shui Yan, if you don't give me an explanation today, the king will never give up.

When Shuiyan heard that King Zhongshun asked to see him, he smiled slightly, and the fish finally took the bait.Yesterday when the guards came to report that Lu Jingyuan was going to harass Miaoyu, he was furious at the time. Although Master Fakong's martial arts skills were extremely high, his daughter was still at ease, so he hurriedly ordered someone to pick up Miaoyu.Miaoyu didn't want to cause trouble for others, so she came into the palace, but she gave Lu Jingyuan the poison of "No Phase" to Shui Yandao, and said the effect of the poison, saying that if the emperor finds it troublesome, she can give it to him. antidote.At that time, Shuiyan's eyes lit up. He and Lin Hai and others discussed how to force Lu Haotian to act quickly. They all turned their attention to Lu Haotian's only darling, but before he could act, his daughter gave a terrible blow. good move.But he wondered how Miaoyu could be poisonous, and Miaoyu said that the poisonous scriptures back then were owned by her, and she learned it when she was bored, but found that her talent was not ordinary, so she could protect herself.Shui Yan felt distressed and helpless after hearing this.

Shui Yan looked at Wang Zhongshun with a sullen face and said: "The Qing family didn't even go to court today, and they didn't ask for leave. They came to ask to see me again at this time. Could it be that they really don't care about me?"

Lu Haotian was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Shuiyan's sudden attack, and hurriedly said: "Besides the urgent matter in my family, Jing Yuan suddenly fell ill, and the emperor knew that this was the only son of the minister, so he was confused for a moment, so he forgot to ask the emperor for leave, and asked the emperor to ask for leave." Forgive me."

Shui Yan waved his hand and said: "Forget it, the Qing family is also the heart of parents, it would be unreasonable if I don't understand. What's the matter for the prince to come to see me now?"

Lu Haotian's face suddenly turned blue, and he said in a deep voice: "My son was plotted against by someone, but that person's status is special, so I came to ask the emperor to ask the emperor to be my master."

Shui Yan smiled coldly and said: "This matter is for the Ministry of Criminal Justice to deal with. If the evidence is convincing, even the royal family will not escape punishment, but the prince came to see me for what."

Lu Haotian said: "It's really that person's status is special. To tell you the truth, my minister went to Huangjue Temple to offer incense yesterday. It's not like being poisoned by a master named Miaoyu in the temple. I wanted to arrest her, but people said She is the queen's substitute, so it's not easy for the minister to arrest her directly, so I ask the emperor to make the decision for the minister, don't let the villain go."

Shui Yan sneered, staring at Lu Haotian with piercing eyes, and said: "Prince Zhongshun would avoid the important and overturn right and wrong, but the report I heard is not like this. I heard from the Imperial Forest Army of Huangjue Temple that your son brought a group of guards Shan broke into Huangjue Temple to snatch Master Miaoyu to become a concubine, but was forced to retreat by Fakong and the Imperial Forest Army, but I never heard of anyone fighting with the prince and poisoning the prince. All the monks and nuns of Huangjue Temple and the Imperial Forest Army were witnesses The lord would like to talk about the evidence that Miaoyu is the murderer. She is a weak nun who does not know martial arts or poison, so how can she poison your son who is good at martial arts."

Lu Haotian was also taken aback, thinking that he had made a mistake, and thinking about it, it was impossible. Except for going to Huangjue Temple yesterday, Jingyuan never went to other places or met anyone, because he said coldly: "Although I don't As for the evidence, Jingyuan is sure that he only had contact with that Miaoyu yesterday, and the emperor sent that Miaoyu to the Ministry of Punishment for interrogation on his words and deeds.

"Presumptuous, King Zhongshun, I haven't punished your son for trespassing on the Huangjue Temple. The lord came here to inquire about the crime. Your words are too light. Miaoyu is the queen's substitute monk. You have no evidence or no certificate. If you want to send the empress to prison in place of a monk, what do you think of my royal majesty? The Qing family should go and ask your son if he has offended too many people. I don’t know when he was plotted against, and he should be restrained to pay attention to his words and deeds. It’s not here that the villain complains first.”

Lu Haotian saw the emperor's expression was not hesitant, his heart was suffocated, his face was livid, but he had no proof, so what!Lu Haotian unconsciously showed a bloodthirsty aura on his face, and thought that I asked you for instructions to save face, since you don't care, don't blame me for taking revenge in my own way.Hately resigned and took people to Huangjue Temple, but in the end, Fakong Dao Miaoyu was sent to the palace to give a lecture by the queen, and he didn't know when he would be back.Lu Hao had nowhere to go because of the weather, so he returned to the mansion in a sedan chair with a gloomy face.But on the way, I heard people talking about the abolishment of Prince Zhongshun, and I heard that if you offend the Buddha, you will have to stay in bed in the next life, and now you are covered with a stench that can kill people.Most people clapped their hands and applauded.

Lu Haotian almost fainted from anger. He returned to the mansion and called the people in the mansion to ask who spread the word, but there are hundreds of people in the Nuo Da mansion. Who would not be afraid to admit it? The whole house complained.

King Zhongshun saw that his son hadn't improved at all, and now it's widely known, what kind of woman would be willing to marry in, even if she married, she would faint after a while, wouldn't she want to cut off her children and grandchildren?The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and there was nowhere to vent his anger, so he couldn't help but spread his anger on Baochai, Jiang Yuhan and Baoyu.He hurriedly ordered people to call Jiang Yuhan, and after a while, his subordinates came back tremblingly and said: "Go back to the prince, the Qi official hasn't come back for several days, and the slave didn't go around to check, I'm afraid he ran away."

Gaba, a corner of the table was knocked off by King Zhongshun, Lu Haotian roared angrily: "You are all dead, why don't you take a fancy to him. If it's the other way around, even an actor dares to disrespect the king."

The servant was terrified by his lord's aura of coldness, and hurriedly said: "My servant heard that he had a close relationship with Jia Baoyu of the Rongguo Mansion recently, maybe the lord can ask him."

Lu Haotian smiled coldly, Rongguo Mansion, Xue Baochai, if it wasn't for you Jingyuan, how could such a thing happen!He immediately called his chief historian and explained it like this.

The Jia family is not very peaceful today. First of all, Yingchun is going to get married a few days later. The dowry should not be too shabby. Sister Feng and Jia Lian are afraid that Yingchun will be wronged when they marry. It is really difficult for the family, so they only took 1 taels of silver. Jia She never thought of giving money at all. Sister Feng saw too little, so she couldn't hold her stomach and begged Jia Mu. Who knew that Jia Mu said that she was in charge of her father and didn't care. Sister Feng's heart suddenly seemed to be poured with cold water. He sneered in his heart, thanks to the fact that he has flattered the old lady for so many years, now he realizes how stupid he is, and it was because Sister Lin was smart enough to know that she had alienated Jia's family early.Sister Feng had no choice but to go home and fill in some more of her jewelry. She deliberately told Yingchun all these things in order to let Yingchun see that she could stand on her own in spite of her hard work. Blame myself for neglecting this sister-in-law too much.

Before Sister Feng's buttocks were warmed up, Mother Jia sent someone to call again. Sister Feng was surprised. When she entered Jiamu's main room, she found that Mrs. Wang and her mother-in-law were there. The money is due, and he urges us to pay it back quickly, otherwise he will take the Grand View Garden as a mortgage."

"What!" Mrs. Wang screamed first, "That's my mother's birthplace, what power does he have!"

Jia Mu sneered and said, "Your Majesty, there is no such thing as your Majesty now, that's what the IOU was originally written in. Now we can't afford to mess with Miss Lin, you two quickly get me some money."

Mrs. Xing said lightly: "Old lady, although the money was signed by the two of us, after all, our eldest wife has never received any benefits. The old lady also knows that it is even more difficult for our eldest wife now. After two days of welcoming the girl, we will be fine." We're going to get married, and we'll have to pay for it, but we really can't make up that much."

Jia Mu said: "How much money can you spend to welcome a girl? Three to five thousand is enough. If you can't do it, you can shrink her money even more. According to my distribution, I will pay [-], and you two will each have [-]. "

Mrs. Xing was fair when she heard it, and she said: "That's fine. But the old lady thinks that our big house girl is so worthless, so she dismissed her for three or five thousand dollars. The old lady loves her granddaughter every day like this, and she is so grand when she visits the girl and Ji. I haven't seen Ying Yatou and the old lady Yan asking about it back then."

Mother Jia choked, she was really wrong, but how could she admit her mistake in front of the younger generation, she frowned and said, "I'm just an example, what the eldest lady said, I'll collect the money and send it over soon. "

Mrs. Xing had no choice but to agree.Mrs. Wang didn't want to but she didn't dare to be stronger.He secretly hated Baochai for not killing Daiyu.Seeing that the old lady took out [-] yuan at once, she couldn't help coveting Jiamu's body.

Mother Jia was relieved after the money was delivered.Just closing his eyes and resting his mind, he saw the attacker from Yihong Court rush in and cry: "Old lady, go and save Baoyu, he is about to be beaten to death by the master!"
