February 19th was the birthday of Guanyin. All the good men and women from all over Northern Chu would go on a tour to pray and pray in the temples. It would be very lively going to the fairs and fairs.
Over time, this day became an important festival for the people.
The Cloud Realm Temple was a royal temple in the Northern Chu Capital. Even though 20 years ago, Helian's Divine Powers were hailed as the Imperial Advisors, and Helian Yuan Chen's faith in Buddhism was not opposed to it.
When the other temples were crowded with people, only the Cloud Realm Temple was orderly and the imperial guards were present. No ordinary people were allowed to enter or leave the temple. Only the royal family and the royal family had the right to travel to this place.
A green palanquin was carried all the way to the Cloud Gaze Temple on the mountain. Although the arrangement was as low-key as possible, the treatment of carrying the palanquin straight into the temple's backyard made people feel weird. The figure of a royal guard in plain clothes among the guests also exposed the identity of the person in the palanquin.
However, all of this was done by following the small path into the temple's backyard. Besides the temple's hosting, very few people knew the identity of the distinguished guest in the palanquin.
No one was allowed to easily enter the back row of the temple. It was known as the place where the pilgrims stayed, but over the years, it was impossible for normal pilgrims to enter that small independent courtyard.
The curtain of the palanquin was lifted, and an extremely graceful woman alighted from it. Her eyes were somewhat haggard and uneasy, but they could not conceal her beautiful appearance.
The one supporting her was a young girl. She wore a jacket that reached to her knees and a pair of leather riding boots. She didn't look like an elegant outfit at all.
The young girl had an impatient look on her face as she reluctantly supported the beautiful woman who had an outstanding appearance. Under the guidance of the host, the two of them entered the guest room in the small courtyard.
The guest room was elegant and exquisite, with the word 'meditation' written on it and a room filled with the fragrance of books. The room was elegant and refined, with the word 'meditation' written on the door and a room filled with the smell of books and incense, filled with the peaceful atmosphere of buddhism.
"The princess's room is next door." The host said with a smile as he bent over to gather the prayer beads.
These two people were Imperial Concubine Zuo and Helian Zhenguo. They had borrowed Guan Yin's birthday to make a promise to burn incense at the Cloud Mist Temple.
However, he had promised her that if she truly wished for a good marriage, she would definitely have a good one. She couldn't help but be moved, thinking of her own marriage.
The two of them listened attentively to the lecture, while the left side was in a state of absent-mindedness. Helian Peng was looking around, and the host, seeing that both of them had something on his mind, could not help but feel bored.
In his heart, he hoped that his father would change his mind and agree to the Northern Chu Dong Yuan marriage proposal. He hoped that Xiao Yi Xiu had already forgotten that slut Gu Qing Li and would be able to marry her soon.
That night, she stayed in the temple as usual. She was a devout Buddhist, and every year she would stay in the temple for three days.
Although Helian Shuanghui was not used to sleeping in the bed of the temple, he unconsciously fell asleep after smelling the sweet fragrance of the sandalwood.
Zuo Lian, however, was still in a daze. After extinguishing the light, he sat on the edge of the bed and stared at the unlocked door, thinking nervously about why that person still hadn't come.
The door creaked open, and the distant wind lamp outside the door emitted a dim yellow light, and when she arrived at her door, it was already extremely weak. Faintly, she saw that someone had entered the room and was walking unsteadily, seemingly unsteady.
"Who?" Zuo Liangliang got up and went to light the lamp cautiously, but found that the fire near his hand had gone somewhere. He fumbled a few times, but the figure approached.
"Miss …" The figure's voice was very mournful. It was indeed a woman, and she was not considered young.
Zuo Lian was shocked. He quickly took two steps back and sat on the edge of the bed. He held onto the edge and said, "You are …"
It's me, Xin Fang, wuu …" "I died a miserable death!
The goosebumps on his skin stood out. He felt around on the small table beside his bed and finally found a hard object in his hand. He said in a trembling voice, "Don't come over here, if you come back again, I'll …" You're welcome... "Alright."
Holding it in her palm, she knew it was a wooden fish hammer. Although it was carved from yellow pears, it still wouldn't have much killing power.
The black shadow kneeled down instead. "Miss, do you know who sent this servant to die?"
Zuo Lian looked at her in shock, feeling that this evil ghost did not have any evil intentions, he said with a trembling voice, "Didn't you die? A dead ghost … No no... "I know you're unwilling, but that was not my intention either …"
"This servant naturally knows that all of this is the empress's scheme!"
"Empress?" Zuo Lian was confused. Why did this matter involve the empress? Was he really going to kill them to keep their mouths shut? When she thought of the events of more than twenty years ago, she shuddered.
That woman could do such a thing. It wasn't like she hadn't done it all those years ago when she killed her mother for her son!
However, she had been living in peace for eighteen years and always thought that her identity was different. Furthermore, she was obedient and obedient, so that woman would still remember her old friendship. Who would've thought that this day would finally come?
She then heard the black shadow wail as she complained about how she had been framed by the empress, how she had tried to stir up trouble in front of Helian Yuan Chen, and how she had ended up wrongly killed. He even said that he had been tortured and died a miserable death. If he didn't believe it, he could show himself.
Zuo Lian shook his hands in panic. Just from the sound of the voice, he knew it was without a doubt Mrs Liu. She did not want to see that terrifying face again.
Following that, Lady Liu said sorrowfully: "Miss, do you think that this is the truth? Back then, why did the old master suddenly go bankrupt and the Zuo family fell into ruin? Have you ever thought about it? Do you think that you've only caused such an outrageous incident by being in love with the young master of the Xu Family? Actually, it was all planned by Empress Xu for a long time! "In order for you to give birth to a child of the Xu Family, one day, you'll be able to replace the crown prince and inherit the legacy!"
"But …" But Yu'er isn't surnamed Xu! "
"What does it matter, who knows? As long as the empress says his surname is Xu, would he still suspect anything? "
Zuo Lian was speechless. Helian Yu's birth mother had died, and all the people involved had been silenced. Now that Mrs Liu was also dead, she was the only one who knew … As such, he felt a chill run down his spine and he felt a sense of impending doom.
"Miss, do you know why the Young Master of the Xu Family is not here tonight? This might be your last date, Empress Xu has killed a servant, and you will be next! "
Zuo Lian trembled and looked around in horror. It seemed as if a chilly wind was blowing in through all the gaps between the doors and windows. Every gust of wind was like a killing intent.
With a "peng" sound, the door closed tightly, even though there was no wind.
