Chapter 405 Everyone in the World Suffers
That night, around midnight.
Everyone else in the manor had already fallen asleep, and it was at this time that Tuoba Ruoli appeared quietly in Mrs. Lin's room.
With Qiongqi around, it is not difficult to achieve this.
Tuoba Ruoli had just stood still and was about to walk towards Madam Lin's bed when she heard Madam Lin's voice behind her.
"You're here."
The sudden appearance of this voice startled Tuoba Ruoli.
But soon, Tuoba Ruoli calmed down.
She slowly turned around and walked towards Mrs. Lin.
Although there was no light in the house, one window was open, and bright moonlight poured in from outside, scattering silver frost all over the ground.
With the moonlight, the two of them sitting at the table could see each other's faces clearly.
Tuoba Ruoli stared at Madam Lin's face, looking at it carefully again and again.
"I haven't seen you for a few years. Grandma has aged a lot."
Mrs. Lin's face already had wrinkles and a lot of white hair on her head.
If so many things had not happened before and Mrs. Lin was still living a life of luxury, she would definitely not look so old.
But I went through so much four years ago, and I was poisoned again, and was paralyzed in bed for such a long time.
All these experiences caused Mrs. Lin to age rapidly and become what she is today.
If you didn't ask Mrs. Lin's age, you would probably think she was already fifty years old.
Madam Lin looked at Tuoba Ruoli's young and delicate face and smiled slightly, "You are still young, but I don't know if you can live to be as old as me."
Hearing this, Tuoba Ruoli could no longer maintain the smile on her face.
What does Mrs. Lin mean by this?
Does that mean she won't live long?
Seeing Tuoba Ruoli's face turn ugly, Madam Lin smiled. "What's wrong? Didn't you want to come to see me? Why did your face suddenly turn so ugly? I just said a few words, and you can't stand it? I thought you became a lot more powerful after becoming the Crown Princess of Xiliang, but now it seems that's not the case!"
Before Tuoba Ruoli could answer, Madam Lin hurriedly covered her mouth.
"No! I remembered it wrong! Although you have been the Crown Princess for several years, you are no longer the Crown Princess now! You are not much better now than before, right? Not only does the Xiliang Emperor want to capture you and kill you, but Yu Youning and the others are also looking for you, right?
Why are you here when you're all right? It's because you have nowhere to go.
That’s why you came back and said so many nice things to Lin Yu, making Lin Yu think that you have changed your ways and take you in! Am I right? "
Tuoba Ruoli was really surprised this time.
She didn't expect that Mrs. Lin would be so clear about these things.
Didn’t Lin Yu say that Mrs. Lin is sick now and her mind is often confused?
But now it doesn’t look like that at all!
"Do you think my brain doesn't seem to be sick at all?"
Madam Lin asked Tuoba Ruoli a question, and before Tuoba Ruoli could answer, she started laughing.
"I don't know why, but ever since I got sick, my brain seems to be working better and better."
Tuoba Ruoli was silent for a moment, then asked the question in her heart, "Since you know everything, why don't you tell Lin Yu?"
"Why should I tell him?"
Mrs. Lin sneered.
"After going through so much, he's still so stupid that he can't even see through your true intentions. Even if I tell him, he might not believe me. If that's the case, why should I waste my breath on him?
If he survives this incident, it will be a blessing for him. If he dies, it will be his fate."
Mrs. Lin said this coldly and stood up.
"If you're here to take my life, you can do it now. If you don't want to kill me, you can leave now."
After Mrs. Lin said this, she walked towards her bed.
She seemed to have ignored Tuoba Ruoli and just lay on the bed.
Summer nights are not cold, but even a little hot.
Others didn't cover themselves with anything and still felt hot, but Mrs. Lin wrapped herself tightly in a thick quilt.
Tuoba Ruoli stood there for a long time, staring at Madam Lin for a long time.
After a long time, she seemed to have made up her mind, or lost interest, and left here quietly.
-
Yu Youning and others took Nian Yi back to the palace.
Nian Yi caused such a big commotion and caused panic among the people in the capital. This is a serious crime.
The emperor was really angry.
Although the matter has been resolved now, the people have all returned home, and the temple has been demolished, there are still some things that need to be discussed with the emperor in person, otherwise the emperor will definitely be upset.
The emperor had already received the news and knew that the matter had been resolved. He felt much better and was waiting for Yu Youning and the others to return.
Now that he saw Yu Youning and the others coming back, he put away the smile on his face and looked at Nian Yi with a very serious look.
He originally wanted to wait for Nian Yi to admit his mistake.
But after waiting for a long time, Nian Yi didn't say a word and just stood there quietly.
The emperor was already angry, and seeing this situation, he became even more furious.
He thought that as an emperor, he was magnanimous enough not to directly order the execution of Nian Yi, and was even willing to meet him.
But this little monk didn't kneel or bow when he saw him, and didn't even show any attitude to admit his mistake. He was so arrogant!
Looking at the ugly expression on the emperor's face, Yu Youning quietly pulled Nian Yi's monk robe.
Nian Yi felt it, sighed helplessly, and spoke first.
He bowed slightly, speaking gently, "This humble monk greets His Majesty. This time, I was at fault. If Your Majesty needs me to do anything else, I will certainly do my best to help."
All the emperor wants is an attitude.
If possible, he certainly didn't want to kill Nian Yi, as that would cause too many chain reactions.
So the current result is what he wants most.
Nian Yi is now admitting his mistake in public, which can be regarded as giving the emperor face... no, it's a way out.
The emperor went down the stairs without any hesitation.
"It's good that you can recognize your mistakes. You are still young and have little experience. It is normal for you to have such extreme thoughts. I only hope that after this incident, you can remain calm and not do such things again.
After all, the people are innocent. If Youning and the others hadn't been there to cover for you, who knows how many people would have lost their families because of you. At that time, you would have been truly guilty of a grave crime."
Nian Yi bowed to the emperor again and said, "Your Majesty is right. After this incident, I will definitely not do this again."
The emperor finally smiled. "Youning, you did a great job this time. You have made another great contribution!"
Yu Youning smiled brightly, "Your Majesty, that's what Youning should do!"
"How are the people doing? Will there be any after-effects?" the emperor asked.
Just from this question, we can see that the emperor truly loves his country and his people, and he is truly concerned about the health of the people.
"Your Majesty, rest assured. The people are all in good health and won't have any sequelae."
"With your words, I feel relieved!"
The emperor was in a good mood and waved his hand. "The Queen is waiting for you in the palace. She has prepared a small banquet for you and wants to reward you well. It's getting late and the Queen must be getting impatient. I won't keep you here any longer. Go quickly! Buddhist disciples, come with us!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Nianyi clasped his hands together, bowed, and then followed Yu Youning and the others out.
As soon as he walked out, Yu Youning stopped and looked at the emperor walking beside him. He asked in confusion, "Your Majesty, where are you going?"
"The Queen is hosting a banquet and has invited me, so of course I have to go along!"
Hearing the emperor's matter-of-fact words, Yu Youning and the others felt like laughing.
The emperor is so old, but most of the time, he still acts like a child!
However, the emperor's face still needs to be taken care of.
No matter how much you want to laugh in your heart, you have to hold it back on your face.
The group went to the Queen's Palace happily.
Just as the emperor said, the queen had prepared everything and was waiting for them to come.
Seeing them coming, the queen was very happy and immediately invited them to take a seat.
At this small banquet, they only talked about eating, drinking and having fun, and did not talk about state affairs.
By the time the banquet was over, the moon was already at its highest point in the sky.
The moon is big and round, hanging right above our heads.
Yu Youning watched and became interested, "Let's go to the observatory to see the moon!"
Since the death of the director, the Imperial Observatory has declined.
The Observatory was no longer exclusive to them. Concubines in the harem or powerful ministers could go there to watch the stars or admire the moon as long as they reported to the emperor.
The reason for reporting is that we are afraid that the concubines and ministers in the harem will go on the same day, which will cause inconvenience.
The timing of Yu Youning and the others' arrival was quite coincidental, as no one was here to watch the stars and the moon tonight.
Perhaps because a storm had just calmed down, everyone was cherishing the hard-earned reunion.
As the tallest building in the entire capital, the Observatory offers a clear view of the entire city from above.
It was clearly getting late, but looking around, most of the houses in the capital had lights on.
The words "a thousand lights" were clearly displayed before their eyes at this moment.
Yu Youning walked over to Nian Yi and stood still. "Look, each of these lamps is a family. Isn't it better for them to live together like this than to have them stay in a cold temple?"
Nian Yi pursed his lips and said, "Everyone in the world suffers."
"So, only by being together as a family can hard times become less difficult! If you have a bad relationship with your family, you can leave home and start your own family. Going to a temple isn't the only way to escape hardship."
