The rebirth of the poisonous concubine

Chapter 153
The Imperial City Army has long been on the side to maintain the law and order of the capital, and no one is allowed to pass through.

Both sides of the street were full of people who wanted to admire the face of the Son of Heaven. Situ Rui sat on the carriage with Qin Wange in his arms, feeling extremely satisfied. This was showing off his dignity to the world.

This is his world, these are his people.

The royal guard of honor passed by slowly, and the people were kneeling all the way, Situ Rui had an incomparable sense of accomplishment.

Seeing Situ Rui's expression of enjoyment, Qin Wange felt very disdainful.

From Qin Wange's point of view, whether it's Situ Rui who likes to entertain his officials wantonly, or every time he travels extravagantly, there is one problem that is not showing up all the time - that is, Situ Rui has a guilty conscience.

This world was stolen by Situ Rui and Xu Qiushui. The harder they tried to prove that they were the masters of this country, the more they reflected their guilt and uneasiness.

The things were not originally their own, and of course they would be worried about the things they snatched, because they were afraid that others would use shameless means to snatch them just like them.

Situ Rui, you don't have the magnanimity to rule the world, and you don't have the fate and ability. Even if you can steal the country for a while, can you keep the country and the power in your hands?

One day, I will take these things away from you one by one, leaving you with nothing and letting all your previous efforts go to waste!
Xiangguo Temple is located in Jialan Mountain outside the imperial city. It is a royal temple in Xiling. Among them, the abbot of Xiangguo Temple, Master Kuchan, is a master in the Buddhist world. The first emperor liked Buddhism and respected Kuchan very much.

The royal sedan chair settled down at the foot of the mountain. To show his sincerity, the emperor had to go up the mountain on foot. This was an ancestor's rule, and even Situ Rui did not dare to violate it.The guards followed closely behind.

For the sake of the emperor's safety, the pilgrims were rejected in the Xiangguo Temple early, and the forbidden army has been stationed in every place of the Xiangguo Temple to ensure the safety of the emperor.

And at the gate of Xiangguo Temple, Master Kuchan had already led many disciples in Xiangguo Temple, and they waited outside early, and Master Kuchan personally received him. Even Situ Rui had to salute Master Kuchan.

"Master, you have worked hard."

Master Kuchan clasped his hands together and said calmly, "Amitabha, please, Your Majesty." It didn't make any difference because the person in front of him was the king of a country.

Followed to the inner hall, Qin Wange sized up Master Kuchan, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, white beard, and a fairy-tale demeanor.

Especially those eyes, even clearer than a newborn baby, it seems that all the evils in the world can't be hidden in his eyes, making people think of the eyes of the Buddha sitting in the Buddhist hall.

In the main hall of the temple, the Buddha, who is holding flowers and laughing, sits on the lotus platform, looking at the mortal beings below with slightly drooping eyes. I don’t know whether he is sympathetic to the suffering of all beings, or he can’t bear to see the evil in this world.

In the solemn ceremony, a group of monks chanted sutras. In front of the Buddha, even people like Situ Rui couldn't help but fold their palms together and kneel before the Buddha reverently.

Qin Wange bowed down with Situ Rui according to royal etiquette, but his eyes were alienated and disdainful.

She didn't believe in Buddhism in her previous life, so she certainly doesn't believe in Buddhism in this life.

If the Buddha was useful, how could he tolerate someone like Situ Rui becoming the son of heaven? If the Buddha had eyes, how could the whole family of the Qin family be executed, leaving no bones left?
Qin Wange couldn't help but think of a long time ago, when his father and elder brother fought on the battlefield all the year round. Although they were fighting to defend their family and country, they were still tainted with many murders.

Every time my father went to war, my mother always took her to pray devoutly to the Buddha. My father and brother were safe, and there was a Buddhist hall at home. My mother always chanted sutras in the Buddhist hall for an hour every day to relieve my father and elder brother. kill evil.

Xiangguo Temple, when she was young, her mother seemed to bring her here several times in her memory. At that time, it might be because of the child's temperament, or because she subconsciously rejected these things. Every time she came with her mother, she never I have knelt down before the Buddha, and I have never prayed for anything before the Buddha.

Since she was a child, she felt that everything depends on human effort, and it is useless to pray to Buddha.In the final analysis, the Buddha is just a lump of clay sculpture and wood carving, and worshiping it is just for peace of mind.

She was Situ Rui's queen in her previous life, so she naturally knew this royal etiquette by heart.There is nothing wrong with every move.

Situ Rui was very satisfied looking at Qin Wange who was well-mannered.She was short of boasting that she was more considerate than the queen in front of everyone.

After praying in the hall, according to the usual practice, the emperor worshiped the Buddha alone in the hall for two hours, unaccompanied, to show his sincerity.

As a concubine accompanying Situ Rui, Qin Wange naturally tidied up a clean Zen room and asked her to rest there until Situ Rui finished his worship.

Sandalwood is lit in the meditation room, and after smelling it for a long time, it makes people feel dizzy. Qin Wange never likes this—because her mother, who worships Buddha all the year round, always wears a touch of sandalwood on her body The smell made her think of her mother unconsciously.

Seeing that Qin Wange was really bored, Adai said to Qin Wange: "If your mother is bored, you can go outside for a walk."

Qin Wange nodded, took Adai Yingxue and the others out of the Zen room, and the guards and inner eunuchs hurriedly followed.

When she was young, her mother took her to Xiangguo Temple. When she married Situ Rui as the queen, she also went to Xiangguo Temple many times to pray for blessings. Naturally, she had to go in and out. Qin Wange still memorized the things in his heart.

But it is: things are different.

Situ Yan followed the crowd among the servants, with his head down, very inconspicuous, but his eyes followed Qin Wange's figure.

Although her expression was indifferent, Situ Yan felt that there was a bit of melancholy hidden under her insipid expression. Although the two of them were so far apart, he could easily detect the change in her mood.

In those dark eyes, there seemed to be hidden things that others could not perceive - there was nostalgia, longing, and sadness.Seeing her appearance, it seems that she has memorized every scene and everything here.

Although separated by the crowd, Qin Wange was keenly aware of the hot gaze following him, turned around inadvertently, and met Situ Yan's gaze in the crowd.

Although he has changed his appearance, those eyes are absolutely unmistakable.

Perhaps it was because Situ Yan's gaze was too hot that Qin Wange didn't dare to look at him, so he quickly looked away and pretended to be looking at the scenery.

Qin Wange walked casually, and at this time arrived at the Sansheng Pond in the temple.

It was June and early summer, and there were thousands of hectares of green lotus in the pond, and among the emerald green lotus leaves, a few white lotus flowers slightly poked their heads.The white lotus is quiet and beautiful among the emerald green lotus leaves.

Seeing Qin Wange stop at the edge of the pond to look at the lotus, the palace people following him also wisely stood fifty paces away, not to disturb Qin Wange.Qin Wange stood there quietly, not knowing what he was thinking, but the red phoenix robe made Situ Yan feel aloof and independent.

After all, Xiangguo Temple is a royal temple, so it is naturally different from ordinary temples in terms of specifications and other aspects.Xiangguo Temple not only has the purity and solemnity of the Buddhist school, but also the majesty of the royal family, which faintly makes Qin Wange feel a little depressed.

Crossing the long bridge with nine bends, I saw Master Kuchan walking slowly with the little novice, seeing Qin Wange and his party, Master Kuchan clasped his hands and saluted.

Although Qin Wange had never believed in Buddhism, he still had great respect for Qin Wange, a master in the Buddhist world, and he also saluted Master Kuchan.

Master Kuchan said to Qin Wange: "The empress of Lao Naguan seems to be depressed, but the empress doesn't like the temple?"

Seeing what Master Kuchan said, Qin Wange said: "What did the master say? The temple is quiet, and even this lotus flower is more spiritual than the ones in the palace. How can I not like the temple?"

But Master Kuchan looked at him with a smile, those eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts.

"Meeting Your Majesty today is considered to be a predestined relationship with my Buddha. I see that there is hostility between the Empress's eyebrows. If the hostility is too deep, it will hurt others and myself. I don't know if Your Majesty is willing to listen to me." Master Kuchan said, as if in that way In front of the quick and clear eyes, all the worries and thoughts are invisible.

"It's an honor for me to be taught by Master. Please, Master." Qin Wange nodded slightly, then signaled to follow Master Kuchan to the pavilion on the side.

Only Master Kuchan and Qin Wange were left in the pavilion, and even Adai and Qin Wange asked them to wait outside the pavilion.

Seeing Master Kuchan and Qin Wange sit down in the pavilion, the clever palace servants who followed behind brought up tea and tea sets.

This surprised Qin Wange, and poured a cup of tea for Master Kuchan.

Seeing that the tea was still warm, even Qin Wange couldn't help but wonder, could it be that those palace people brought tea and snacks with them at all times?

"Master said that there is hostility between my eyebrows, I don't know where to start." Qin Wange asked Master Kuchan in front of him.

"Come back with hatred, how can there be no hostility between the brows?" Master Kuchan said lightly.

However, seeing Qin Wange's hand that was pouring tea with a smile, he couldn't help but pause, and returned with hatred, but it was only four words, but it sounded like a thunderbolt in Qin Wange's ears.

She looked into Master Kuchan's eyes, Qin Wange was shocked and thought, could he have seen something?

Impossible, even though I heard that Master Kuchan's Dharma is boundless, how could I see through her rebirth?How could it be possible to see through her identity?

"Bengong, I don't understand what Master Kuchan means." Even though she was as steady as her, there was a little more guilt in her voice unconsciously.

"All the troubles in the world are nothing more than obsessions. My lady is intelligent by nature, so don't be blinded by obsessions. Only by letting go in time can I be at ease."
