Wang Zhongsi explained her doubts: "That person is Zhang E, who is in charge of sacrifices at Taichang Temple. Zhongsi has met him once in his adoptive father's study room, because the officials in charge of sacrifices are all familiar with the Book of Changes, studied the Luohe Diagram, and know some divination. Tadaji was very curious about him, so he was deeply impressed."
"Why did he appear in the Zen room in the inner courtyard of Zending Temple?"
Wang Zhongsi said with great interest: "It seems that there will be unexpected surprises during this visit to Chanding Temple."
Li Sixu looked at Zhang E who passed by the apricot tree and left with a thoughtful expression.
She told Wang Zhongsi: "Brother Zhongsi secretly watched the Zen room where he came out to find out who he came to see in Zending Temple..."
Wang Zhongsi, who was skilled in martial arts and had extremely keen ears, heard footsteps coming from outside the Zen room and winked at Li Sixu.
Not long after Li Sixu fell on the Zen couch, Mingsi, who had left and returned, knocked on the door with a slender monk.
Liu Yunying, who had already cleaned her face with a handkerchief, opened the door with tears in her eyes.
Mingji's eyes lingered on her face for a few breaths, and he said politely: "The poor monk brought his junior brother here to take the pulse and diagnose the little benefactor's illness."
"It's time to thank the Holy Monk!"
Liu Yunying hurriedly brought people in.
The tall and thin monk took Li Sixu's pulse and shook his head at Ming Si.
Liu Yunying said anxiously from the side: "Shen Monk, what disease does my sister have? Can she be saved?"
"The little donor is very hungry and contracted a cold disease, which has resulted in a deficiency of Qi and blood, and his pulse is already weak. If we don't get treatment as soon as possible, I'm afraid it won't last a few days."
He sighed: "It's easy to get the medicinal materials to treat the young benefactor's illness, but it requires old ginseng to be used as medicine. Old ginseng is expensive, and the temple cannot provide such valuable medicinal materials for the young benefactor to make medicine for the time being."
The monk who took Li Sixu's pulse stopped and did not say any more.
Ming Si also had a look of embarrassment on his face, and after thinking for a while he said: "I remember that at the entrance of the palace, Miss Liu said that she came to Chang'an City to find her relatives."
"How about this. Miss Liu writes a letter, and the poor monk will send someone to find the girl's relatives in Chang'an City."
Mingji felt that her idea was feasible, and she said to Liu Yunying: "If the girl's relatives find old ginseng and use it as medicine, the little benefactor's illness will be cured."
"Is the holy monk really willing to help my little girl find relatives? Before leaving, my father and mother told me that my little girl's cousin is an official in the Ministry of Household Affairs. I will write a letter now, and the holy monk will send someone to deliver it to my cousin."
Ming Si got a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and Wang Zhongsi helped her grind the ink. Liu Yunying started to write a letter. She wrote about how she had traveled all the way from the border to find her relatives, encountered robbers on the way and finally made it to Chang'an. Her sister was seriously ill, but fortunately she was able to find a way to the Zen Temple. The divine monk Mingsi took Yun Yun into his care.
After the black marks dried up, Liu Yunying handed the letter to Ming Si.
"Thank you, sir. You must help my little girl deliver the letter to her cousin. When the cousin comes to pick up the little girl and her siblings, the little girl will definitely ask her cousin to donate more money for incense."
Liu Yunying looked at Ming Si expectantly.
Ming Si hurriedly agreed: "Donor, don't worry, I will have the letter delivered to the benefactor's cousin."
Mingsi asked the monks from the temple to bring them some porridge and side dishes. Seeing Liu Yunying crying and wanting to feed porridge to her dying sister, Mingsi left with the monk who had finished acupuncture on Li Sixu.
Liu Yunying, who had enjoyed the performance again and had many lines, was exhausted. After making sure that no one was watching outside the meditation room, she placed the porridge bowl on the low table and collapsed on the side of the couch.
"Little master, are you really not capable of cheating?"
Liu Yunying said anxiously: "When that bald donkey sends someone to deliver the letter to the household official's home, his family will say that without our relatives, how will it end?"
After acting for a long time, Li Sixu was a little hungry.
She calmly picked up the bowl of porridge on the table, scooped it with a spoon and stuffed it into her mouth: "Mingji will not send someone to deliver the letter."
I don’t know if it’s because I’m hungry, or because Zending Temple is good at cooking vegetarian food.
Li Sixu actually felt that the porridge and side dishes tasted pretty good, so she ate a bowl of porridge and put the bowl back on the low table.
She turned over her armhole, took out a silver needle and pricked herself.
Not to mention Liu Yunying who was waiting for her next words, even Wang Zhongsi who was drinking porridge looked at her in confusion.
Li Sixu said calmly: "The monk did something to me when he was doing the acupuncture just now."
"Although Sisi pretends to be withered and dying, the medicine she took and her pulse are just symptoms of extreme hunger. She doesn't need any old ginseng to sustain her life."
"The monk Ming Si brought here deliberately said that my life was not going to be long and that I would use old ginseng to prolong my life. Just to find out who the relatives we came to Chang'an to seek refuge with were?"
After Li Sixu explained, she looked at Liu Yunying: "The cousin Sisi asked you to write about is just a minor official in the Ministry of Household Affairs, so the monk not only lied that I was seriously ill, but also tampered with my acupuncture. It can be inferred that the master behind them is great and is not afraid of a sixth-grade official from the Ministry of Household Affairs."
"After Mingsi got the letter, he knew that there was no one worthy of relying on our brothers and sisters, so he could act unscrupulously. How could he really send the letter to Chang'an City?"
Li Sixu smiled at Wang Zhongsi and Liu Yunying, looking like a strategist: "Come, let's have a bowl of porridge to celebrate. The fish we brother and sister caught has been hooked!"
Li Sixu had a sweet smile on her face, but Wang Zhongsi, who gulped down a bowl of porridge, was furious.
"How dare that bald donkey touch the emperor's sister? Fortunately, the princess studied under the imperial doctor Zheng and has medical skills at her disposal."
Wang Zhongsi looked frightened, and then his eyes flashed with a stern look: "After the net is closed, brother Zhongsi will definitely not let that dead bald donkey have an easy time."
Wang Zhongsi could not wait to wipe the neck of the monk who had tampered with Li Sixu immediately. Considering the princess's plan, he finally held back.
After Liu Yunying finished her porridge, Wang Zhongsi packed up the bowls and chopsticks and put them on the tray, and said to Li Sixu: "Go back as soon as you go. By sending the bowls and chopsticks to the back kitchen of Zending Temple, you can check out the Zen room where Zhang E went. Who exactly lives here?"
After Wang Zhongsi opened the door of the meditation room with the tray and left, Mingsi, who had said that he was looking for someone to deliver Liu Yunying's message, ducked into the meditation room that Wang Zhongsi wanted to keep an eye on.
Moreover, he handed the letter written by Liu Yunying to Zen Master Dahui who was meditating.
"Mingsi just asked Mr. Zhang. There is indeed a sixth-grade official in the Ministry of Revenue who is the cousin of Miss Liu."
Ming Si suggested: "The adults are tired of playing with the prostitutes raised in Ruyilou. The master wants Ming Si to look for some good ones. This Miss Liu comes from a scholarly family, so she bumped into her by herself."
Zen Master Dahui looked at Liu Yunying's handwriting and commented: "The handwriting is good. He is indeed from a scholarly family. It's just that Zhang E finally took the bait and can't ruin the big event in two days."
"Is the Zen master too careful?"
Mingji looked playful: "That Miss Liu is really beautiful, and she also has a seriously ill sister in my hand. If I tell them brother and sister, the letter was delivered to their cousin, but her cousin did not They said they would send someone to pick them up, but what else do you think this helpless girl Liu can do besides obey?"
