Chapter 479: The Evil Ghost in Good Man's Cloak
]7|_ Pei Miao couldn’t understand why the nun treated her like this.
First he pushed her into the fire, and then he admitted to the false charges on her behalf in front of everyone.
It seemed like he was saving her, but in fact he was convicting her of having an affair and killing her husband.
But there is no doubt that Master Wuyou saved her and Xiaodouzi's lives.
She wanted to end all ties with the villagers, but how could they let her go so easily?
After seeing that she had never expressed gratitude to Master Wuyou, he not only spoke harshly to her, but also covered her head and beat her several times.
They said she was heartless and ungrateful. If it weren't for Master Wuyou, they would have drowned this vicious woman and bastard to death long ago.
In order to survive with Xiaodouzi, she had to bow to the secular world again.
She persuaded herself against her will and continued to worship Master Wuyou as her benefactor.
Day after day, year after year, until now, she really once again regarded Master Wuyou as her benefactor.
But weren’t all her sufferings caused by Master Wuyou?
Chen Zhao listened to Pei Miao's inner voice, and was not only heartbroken but also extremely angry.
She always thought that the loyal and righteous princess she had never met was a good person, but from what Pei Miao said in her heart, she was an evil ghost in the guise of a good person.
The little nun at the mountain gate didn't know that Chen Zhao had heard Pei Miao's thoughts.
After learning about Pei Miao's past, she kindly advised Shen Zhao:
"My dear, you should stay away from her. Don't look at her pitifully now. Everything is caused by her lack of self-respect and self-love."
"Your Excellency has come to the Jokhang Temple to burn incense and pray for blessings, right? I will have someone drive her away immediately to avoid her being an eyesore to your Excellency."
Chen Zhao looked at the little nun at the mountain gate and said coldly:
"You don't need to tell me who she is. Monks should be compassionate, but I only see bitterness and a dirty mind in you."
The young nun's face turned pale when she heard this, not because of Shen Zhao's words, but because Shen Zhao called himself the king.
The little nun knelt down hurriedly and said:
"Your Highness has misunderstood me. I didn't say anything kind to Pei Miao because she didn't deserve it."
Shen Zhao snorted coldly.
"Whether she is worthy or not is not up to you to decide. This prince has not misunderstood anything. As a servant before the Buddha, you speak ill of the Buddha's followers. Aren't you afraid that the Buddha will remember all your evil deeds?"
Chen Zhao said to Pei Miao:
"Come, follow me into the Jokhang Temple. Today, I want to see the legendary Nun Wuyou and see how kind she is to teach such a wicked disciple."
A glimmer of light flashed in Pei Miao's dim eyes.
This was the first time someone stood up for her and the first time someone believed she was innocent.
She hoped that the Buddha would bless the noble person in front of her and have a smooth life.
Chen Zhao's steps forward suddenly stopped. Pei Miao should have had a smooth life, but she had taken over Pei Miao's identity.
This time, Chen Zhao did not send a monk to pass the message, but directly took Pei Miao to the courtyard where Master Wuyou was.
"Pei Miao, what are you doing here again?"
Pei Miao led the way in front. As soon as she stepped into the gate of the courtyard, she was scolded by the young nun who was sweeping the courtyard.
"It was this prince who asked her to lead this prince to pay a visit to Nun Wuyou."
At this moment, Shen Zhao appeared from the corner and walked into the courtyard. The little nun who was sweeping the floor hurriedly clasped her hands together and said to Shen Zhao:
"This poor nun pays homage to His Majesty."
Chen Zhao led Pei Miao and the people behind him to bypass the little nun and go straight to the meditation room of nun Wuyou.
On the way, Shen Zhao asked:
"Did all these people at the Jokhang Temple treat you so badly?"
Pei Miao forced a smile with difficulty.
"Not entirely. They are also poor people who have been kept in the dark. They are not bad people by nature."
She grew up with these monks and had a deep relationship with them.
But the events that happened one after another caused these people to misunderstand her and led them to have unreasonable hostility towards her.
So she didn't blame them, after all, they had never really hurt her.
The door of the Zen room was tightly closed, and Shen Zhao could even hear the sound of chanting coming from inside.
But why was Master Wuyou reciting the Sutra of Rebirth?
Who was she reciting this Sutra of Rebirth for?
"Who is outside the door?"
The sound of chanting suddenly stopped, and an old voice came from the room.
Pei Miao spoke first.
"Master, it's me, Pei Miao."
After a while, the old voice was heard in the room again.
"It's you. What are you doing up the mountain?"
"Xiaodouzi is sick, and I came to ask the nun for medicine. The weather is getting colder, so I made thick clothes and shoes for the nun."
"Put it outside the door. Go get the medicine."
Immediately afterwards, the sound of chanting was heard again, but Master Wuyou did not let Pei Miao in.
The voice was so cold that Pei Miao standing outside didn't seem to be the orphan she had adopted for more than ten years, but a strange pilgrim.
"Junior requests to see Princess Zhongyi."
Chen Zhao winked at Pei Miao and didn't let her leave.
As soon as she said this, there was a sound of something heavy falling in the Zen room, followed by a hint of shock and anger in the calm voice.
"There is no loyal princess here, only Wuyou. Please go back."
Shen Zhao's voice sounded again.
"I came here today to tell the princess that the King of Loyalty betrayed Nanchu for the person in his heart and is now being hunted down by His Majesty."
"Duke Xie's wife was also punished for her involvement and is now imprisoned in the palace."
"I would like to ask the old princess if you know where the loyal prince will go? Who is the person he is thinking about most?"
"What did you say?" The old voice in the room became a little sharp.
"What has he done! He's already this old, how dare he bring trouble to my child again."
A faint sneer appeared at the corner of Shen Zhao's mouth.
"Don't be angry, Master. Isn't it said that monks have long since abandoned all worldly things? Master, you don't need to care about these mundane things."
"Buddha has mercy on me. To reduce unnecessary casualties, please tell me what you know."
"I hope the younger generation can arrest the King of Loyalty and bring him to justice as soon as possible, and restore peace to the Xie family."
The tightly closed door was opened from the inside.
What caught my eye was an old nun with a wrinkled face.
At first glance, Chen Zhao knew that the person in front of him was not the loyal and righteous princess.
The old nun said to Shen Zhao:
"Noble Master, please come in."
Shen Zhao stepped into the meditation room and said to Pei Miao who was waiting outside:
"Come in with me."
The old nun immediately stopped him and said:
"Master, please only invite you in. Master Pei should wait outside."
Shen Zhao's expression turned cold.
"What if I say no?"
The old nun looked directly at Pei Miao.
"Master Pei, do you want to embarrass Nun Wuyou?"
Chen Zhao's face became even colder. This could not shake her, so he tried to control Pei Miao directly.
Pei Miao looked embarrassed. She hesitated for a while and said:
"I...I want to see the nun."
The noble man is doing this for her own good, so she cannot be ungrateful.
She knew in her heart that the noble man must have his reasons for asking her to go in with him.
The old nun's face turned cold, and a sinister light flashed in her eyes.
Just as he was about to speak, he heard something coming from inside.
