In the Yangxin Hall, Emperor Shenwu frowned slightly when he saw Princess Yong'an running out crying, and the anger in his heart gradually subsided. Although he was a little annoyed, he ignored it, sighed lightly, and then began to deal with government affairs.
Outside the main hall, Princess Yong'an was sitting on the steps. Her eye circles were red and swollen, and there were still a few tears on her fair and tender cheeks. Her black and white eyes were covered with a thin layer of moisture, looking aggrieved.
"I Have a Picture Book of Ghosts and Gods"
The age of twelve is the time of innocence. Because he got a daughter in old age, Emperor Shenwu loved this little girl more than those princes, so he kept her by his side since she was born. As she grew up, the old man The emperor loved her more and more, and granted everything she asked for.
This made both the prince and the king of Qi extremely jealous. Fortunately, the two brothers were very knowledgeable and did not get involved in the fight for the heir.
This time, it was the first time that Princess Yongan saw her father like this, and it was also the first time that she was killed.
At this time, Su Ming was stepping up the steps, preparing to go to the Yangxin Palace. Today was the day when he would enter the palace to lecture on Buddhism to Emperor Shenwu. However, he was keenly aware that the atmosphere in the palace was a little subtle today.
Along the way, the eunuchs and maids in the palace looked nervous, walked in a hurry, and even spoke carefully for fear of being overheard. This was not the case at all on weekdays.
I haven't been here for a few days. Could it be that something happened in the palace?
However, when he came to the Hall of Cultivation of the Heart, he saw Princess Yong'an here, and it seemed that she had cried just now. This scene made Su Ming even more confused.
He slowly stepped up the steps and came to Princess Yong'an. He put his palms on his chest and bowed slightly, "I see the princess here, poor monk."
At this time, Princess Yong'an was sitting on the steps holding her knees. When she saw the shoes that suddenly appeared in front of her, she raised her head and saw: a handsome monk in white suddenly broke into her sight. His brows were spotless with cinnabar, and his face was stained. With a warm smile.
Seeing him, for some reason, Princess Yong'an panicked for no reason. She quickly wiped her eyes and stood up, "National Master, why are you here?"
"Today is the day for the poor monk to explain Buddhism to Your Majesty. Since we are here, why doesn't the princess go in?"
Thinking of her father's furious appearance just now, Princess Yong'an's face wrinkled and her expression darkened again, "I just went in, but my father kicked me out, and... moreover, he even beat me hard. pause."
What?
Su Ming was a little surprised. Everyone knew the old emperor's love for Princess Yong'an. It could be said that the old emperor held Princess Yong'an in his hands for fear of being beaten and held it in his mouth for fear of her melting. How could he be so willing to do so? she?
Combining the scenes he saw along the way, Su Ming was extremely sure that something happened in the palace, or in other words, something happened to the old emperor.
Although I don't know what happened, this incident can make the old emperor who has been in the imperial palace for sixty years and has a deep palace unable to contain his emotions, and it also affects Princess Yong'an.
This matter must be no small matter, and it is extremely important to the old emperor, so this situation happened now.
Su Ming slowly approached and comforted softly, "Why should Your Highness be secretly sad? It must be because something has offended Your Majesty. Otherwise, His Majesty's love for the princess will definitely not allow him to be angry with you."
The gentle and gentle voice seemed to contain a magical power, soothing her inner injustice. As if infected by this power, Princess Yongan raised her little head, with a little confusion in her pure eyes, "Is that so?"
"That must be the case. Your Highness is the apple of His Majesty's eye. This time was just an unintentional mistake. Your Highness, please don't keep it in mind. Let the past go by." After saying this, Su Ming smiled lightly.
Under the sunlight, Su Ming was dressed in white clothes and looked as graceful as jade. His smile was so gentle and peaceful, and he suddenly caught her eye.
In an instant, a blush crept onto her cheeks, and her beautiful eyes were covered with mist, shining brightly in the sun. She quickly stood up, looking a little flustered, and ran away with her skirt in hand without saying a word.
"National Master, thank you, I'm leaving."
Looking at her leaving figure, Su Ming smiled hoarsely. What a little girl. Sadness comes and goes as quickly as it comes.
After Princess Yong'an left, he continued to the Yangxin Palace. Outside the palace gate, Cao Yuchen, the chambermaid, was waiting here. When he saw Su Ming, he slowly shook his head and signaled Su Ming to wait outside, then opened the palace door and went in to report. .
Another unusual scene, Su Ming thought to himself, Cao Yuchen usually served the old emperor inside, but he didn't expect that he would come out to guard the door in person today.
Not long after, Cao Yuchen walked out of the palace and opened the palace door, "Your Majesty has summoned me, so please go in quickly, Imperial Master."
At the moment when he lost his body, a subtle voice sounded in his ears, "Your Majesty is in a bad mood, please be careful what you say!" Su Ming turned his head and saw that Cao Yuchen still had the same calm expression, as if nothing happened. Happens the same.
He showed a kind smile, nodded, and then stepped into the Hall of Cultivation of the Heart.
Outside the palace, the chief steward Cao Yuchen sighed. The master was in a bad mood, and he, as a slave, had to share his worries.
Just now, because I was delayed for something, I didn't stop Princess Yong'an, and happened to bump into His Majesty who was in anger. Princess Yong'an was beaten hard, and he was also scolded afterwards.
His Majesty has been in a bad mood these past few days. I hope the Imperial Master can give some relief, Cao Yuchen, the chief chamberlain, thought.
"I see you Your Majesty, poor monk." As soon as he stepped into the hall, Su Ming noticed that the atmosphere here was different from before, but his expression remained the same as before, he bowed slightly and bowed.
"Imperial Master, please make peace." The old emperor sat on the chair, raised his eyelids, and said calmly.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Su Ming straightened up and glanced at the old emperor's face. After one glance, he withdrew his gaze, but his heart was inexplicably horrified.
Because, he discovered that His Majesty was getting older again, and there were crow's feet in the corners of his eyes.
Moreover, the whole person's energy and energy are completely different from the appearance at the Qianqiu Banquet. If the appearance of Emperor Shenwu back then was like the rising sun, full of vitality, vitality and infinite possibilities.
But although the current Emperor Shenwu's appearance has not changed much, his appearance is no different from that of the Crown Prince and King Qi.
When people reach middle age, they will unconsciously be tainted with a bit of old age, which is a bit out of place for the old emperor, because he is already seventy-six years old.
But Su Ming was still a little surprised that such a big change happened in just a few days, but at the same time, he also understood why the current situation happened in the palace and why the beloved Princess Yong'an was killed.
The old emperor's obsession with immortality was far deeper than he thought!
