Chapter 584 Sleepless Night
Lu Wanying grabbed Ruizhu's arm, bent down and rubbed his knees, and glanced at the Lecture Hall behind him, full of disgust.
“Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go!”
As he said that, he headed toward the Yaohua Palace with great resentment.
“I have to come here every day before dawn, gritting my teeth and listening to the scriptures for so many days. Not to mention that my legs are useless, I think even my brain is about to fail. At the beginning, in In the Hall of Renshou, my aunt’s endless sound of fish drums was so noisy that my head was about to split. Now it’s finally quiet. That’s good. It’s starting again. What’s wrong with this Yuan Yun’e? I have to do it. A group of smelly ascetics came in to chant sutras..."
Every day, she is the last one to arrive and the first one to leave.
Ruizhu reminded in a low voice: "Empress, it's better not to say such words. Don't worry about whether others will hear you. Even if they can't hear it, it will offend the Buddha."
"Haha. ," Lu Wan gave her a blank look, "After all, I was used to hearing it in Renshou Palace before."
She paused, turned her head and nodded casually: "You, go back and prepare, I will do it later. You have to take a shower as soon as you enter the palace."
The palace man responded with his neck curled up.
After dismissing the palace servants, Lu Wanying was no longer in a hurry. He frowned and murmured in his heart.
“It’s strange, why do you think she suddenly remembered to chant sutras and recite Buddha’s name?”
Ruizhu was also puzzled: “Perhaps there has been too much hostility in the palace recently, and she felt that Having harmed so many people’s lives, is your conscience uneasy?”
No wonder Ruizhu thinks so. In this harem, who doesn’t say that the Yuan family is generous, gentle and thrifty?
"Will she have trouble with her conscience? You really have stayed in the palace for so long in vain." Lu Wanying smiled and said: "Don't you know that the more frequently you recite the scriptures, the more serious your sins will be? A heart-to-heart What is a conscience for those who don’t have it?”
Ruizhu said nothing, thinking of the Empress Dowager for no reason.
Lu Wanying raised his eyebrows: "Do you think Du Juan, that cheap maid, told Yuan Yun'e that my fetus was not safe?"
Ruizhu woke up and recalled it carefully. Fancai said: "The slave looked at her, and she didn't seem to know. She really thought you had a miscarriage because you fell into the water..."
Lu Wan asked Liangliang, "Where is Du Juan's family? "
Ruizhu raised her eyes: "It is said that sparks splashed on the quilt at night, and then none of the seven members of the family survived. "
Lu Wanying was slightly surprised and smiled: "After my father passed away, my brother has become more agile in his actions."
Ruizhu shook his head: "It seems to be an accident."
"Accident?"
“Perhaps it was the queen who did it.”
“That’s also possible. Since she took action, it saves us trouble.” Lu Wanying pondered for a moment and then said: “ However, I didn’t take advantage of her in vain and found an opportunity to kill Webster.”
Ruizhu hesitated: "The queen has always been childless. If Wei Shi dies and the Lord hands the third prince to the queen, won't the empress make wedding clothes for others?"
Lu Wanying smiled deeply: "Do you really think he doesn't know why I didn't protect my fetus?"
She will never forget that hard slap in the Hanzhang Palace...
This child was originally Just a scoundrel.
Not a pity.
"But it is up to me to decide whether to kill or to live. Why is he so high-ranking?"

"The poor monk gave this "The Sutra of Breaking the Vajra Prajnaparamita" to the Queen Mother. I only hope that I can help you eliminate heavy karma, increase your merits, and achieve the supreme path."
"Thank you, Master."
Liang Huan took it with trembling hands. Holding her in her arms, she looked extremely grateful and grateful, as if what she was given was not a scripture but a holy medicine that could save lives and revive souls.
The monk lowered his head and recited the words Amitabha, and watched the haggard man leave, supported by the palace servants.
When the Queen Mother left, everyone couldn't help exchanging glances and secretly sighing.
Xu Shitian is jealous of the beauty, and Xu Shi is the one who will repay her in this life.
Sooner or later, this look will be rejected by the emperor... Since the beginning of the lecture, the Queen Mother has always been the first to come to the lecture hall. Those who don’t know the truth will only think that the Queen Mother is extremely pious. She knows the secret and never mentions it. .
But after all, there is no airtight wall in the world.
After falling into the water that day, the Queen Mother became seriously ill.
Although the imperial medical order stated that the Queen Mother had recovered from her illness, the Queen Mother herself repeatedly insisted that she was not feeling well. When asked again by the imperial medical order, the Queen Mother was vague and could not explain exactly where she was feeling unwell.
The emperor only thought that the imperial doctor was incompetent, so he changed several imperial doctors to check the Queen Mother's pulse. They could check the Queen Mother repeatedly, but they could not find out the reason.
It cannot be said that the Queen Mother is not sick and is pretending to be ill. After all, anyone with eyes can clearly see that the Queen Mother is indeed losing weight day by day. She is not as beautiful as she used to be. Not to mention she is mentally weak. Describe withered.
Everyone speculated that the Queen Mother was suffering from some unknown strange disease.
In this case, the emperor will definitely be furious.
Under the fury of thunder, the emperor had already beheaded two imperial doctors.
At that moment, all the doctors in the Imperial Medical Office were in danger.
Just when everyone was puzzled, they vaguely heard an unknown servant in the Hanzhang Hall leak something, and then they got a glimpse of the truth.
It turned out that the Queen Mother did not suffer from any strange disease at all, but was hit by evil spirits.
Whenever she falls asleep at night, the Queen Mother will be haunted by nightmares. She will cry and laugh sometimes, and she will even kneel on the ground, repeatedly shouting to your Majesty to beg for mercy. At first, she only thought he was the Lord, but later she realized that the Majesty she was talking about was actually the Lord. Emperor Wenxuan...
The people waiting in the palace were shocked and terrified. No matter how loudly they shouted to the Queen Mother, she was always in a dream and could not wake up.
When it was almost dawn, she would quietly climb onto the bed again and fall asleep motionless. When she woke up and asked again, she knew nothing about what happened at night. Know.
So, when the queen asked the monk to come to the palace to give lectures, the emperor agreed.
However, things in the world are not very satisfactory. No matter how devoutly the Queen Mother chants sutras during the day, the nightmare situation at night still shows no sign of improvement. If this continues, the Queen Mother may not have much time left...

"Hey, the Queen Mother is back from chanting sutras..."
The palace attendant at the door saw the three people approaching from a distance, and she nudged the chambermaid beside her with her elbow.
“Hey, what are you doing to me?”
"You're not on duty at this hour, why don't you go and greet me?"
"You're talking nonsense, it's obviously you." After the servant said this, he ran away in the blink of an eye.
Seeing that several people were still far away, the palace attendant turned around and left.
The current Hanzhang Palace is even more frightening than the Cold Palace.
Don't say that the emperor only came during the day. Even if he came, he would take a quick look, say a few words of comfort and then leave.
The people serving in the palace were not only kept awake by the Queen Mother at night, but also had to continue to be on duty during the day. They could get through it just by grinding their teeth for a day or two, but how could anyone endure such torment day and night? ?
So, whenever you have time during the day, you must be busy looking for connections, looking for people, and making money. All of them don’t want to leave this ghost place as soon as possible, for fear that if they stay any longer, they will end up with the Queen Mother. Same, you have to go crazy even if you don't die.
As a result, no one is often seen in Hanzhang Hall during the day. The only ones who can still be summoned now are Gu Ya and Jin Zhi.
But no one is made of iron.
Before crossing the threshold, Jin Zhi yawned.
After Liang Huan was helped onto the couch and settled, she could hardly open her eyes.
Out of the inner room, she pulled Gu Ya and said: "You stay here first, I have to take a nap..."
Gu Ya handed the newly poured tea to her. She said: "Okay, you go and have a rest. While I was lecturing just now, I secretly squinted for a while."
When Gu Ya came in again, Liang Huan had already changed into a palace maid's uniform.
