In the Zen room, Master Guichen and Queen Mother Jiang sat opposite each other, and the scent of sandalwood filled the entire Zen room.
"Master, I came here this time because I want you to help me solve a problem that bothers me."
Master Gui Chen looked at the tired Queen Mother Jiang, the Buddhist beads in his hand still turning. The sound was like the gentle breeze in the mountain stream, kind and pleasant, making people feel comfortable and at ease.
"Has Her Majesty been having nightmares lately?"
When Queen Mother Jiang saw that he could see what troubled her at a glance, she felt more confident in him and nodded truthfully.
Master Guichen chanted the Buddha's name to Queen Mother Jiang, "Amitabha!"
That kind face full of compassion was staring at Queen Mother Jiang. No, it should be said that it was looking behind Queen Mother Jiang.
Queen Mother Jiang noticed it and frowned slightly, "Master, do you have a solution?"
Master Guichen did not answer, but asked: "Empress Dowager, have you ever killed a baby girl?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Queen Mother Jiang's body stiffened.
The only baby girl she ever killed was her own only child.
This is her secret, she can't tell it.
"No." Queen Mother Jiang denied it flatly.
Master Guichen shook his head and chanted the Buddha's name, "Amitabha! Queen Mother, think about it carefully. This baby girl is related to you by blood. You should be mother and daughter."
After hearing these words, the officials who were eavesdropping in the dark room reacted in unison, their eyes widened.
impossible!
This is absolutely impossible!
The Empress Dowager and the late Emperor had only one son, and that is your Majesty.
This is probably what everyone thinks.
Soon someone thought of another possibility, which was that after the death of the late emperor, the Empress Dowager had an affair with someone and gave birth to a baby girl. In order to avoid being discovered, she killed the baby girl.
But when I think about it this way, it seems impossible.
After the late emperor passed away, she became the empress dowager and controlled the court. With her power, even if she gave birth to a baby girl, she could just give her to someone else to raise. Why would she kill the baby girl?
Could it be that the baby was stillborn?
Or maybe she had an abortion during pregnancy?
The officials started a brainstorming session, guessing which possibility it was.
Now no one dared to make any sound. They all wanted to know what was going on between Queen Mother Jiang and the baby girl.
After hearing Master Guichen's words, Queen Mother Jiang in the Zen room was stunned for a moment, and soon a hint of murderous intent flashed in her eyes, but she immediately suppressed it.
In the palace, only Li Dehai knew about the baby girl. Even her personal maids Liuli and Cuizhu were unaware of it. As for outsiders, the only person who knew about it was her father, Duke Rong.
This matter is top secret, but the person in front of her could actually tell it out loud. How could she not be afraid?
Queen Mother Jiang gathered her thoughts and asked, "Master, are you seeing things?"
Master Guichen seemed unable to hear her hidden meaning, "Your Majesty, please think about it carefully."
After finishing speaking, he closed his eyes and mouth and recited the scriptures silently.
It seems like "If you are not sincere, then let's not talk."
Queen Mother Jiang had been in power for a long time and had not been treated like this for a long time. A sinister look flashed across her tired face and she had already developed murderous intentions towards him.
In the eyes of the world, the master is a high and mighty figure who should not be profaned or acted upon, but he is nothing in front of imperial power.
In the eyes of the imperial power, if you are respected as a master, then you are a master.
If you are not respected, you are nothing.
Queen Mother Jiang narrowed her eyes and stared coldly at Master Gui Chen who had his eyes closed. She looked at him as if she was looking at a dying man.
Since he was about to die, Queen Mother Jiang no longer had any worries.
As long as her problem is solved, there is no need to keep this person.
After Queen Mother Jiang made up her mind, she no longer concealed it, "Master is really a wise man."
When the officials in the dark room heard the Queen Mother admit that she had given birth to a baby girl, they all became nervous.
Some smart people had vague guesses, but they didn't dare to believe it.
Master Guichen slowly opened his eyes and looked at her with compassionate eyes. "The baby girl died tragically, and her resentment is still there, so she is haunting the queen. This baby girl has a lot of resentment, and she died a long time ago. Thirty-five years is enough for her resentment to accumulate little by little and turn into an evil baby."
Thirty-five years...
When this time came out, the pupils of the officials in the dark room widened violently, and one or two of them were so shocked that they couldn't recover for a long time.
Your Majesty is only thirty-five years old...
If she had given birth to a baby girl, then the person sitting on the throne would be...
Such a secret...
At this moment, they finally understood why the little girl said that they would die if the Queen Mother knew they were here.
I am afraid that not only will they die, but their entire family will also be executed.
Now no one dared to move, for fear of making any sound and letting people outside know.
Cold sweat broke out on everyone's forehead.
The fact that Queen Mother Jiang did not object speaks out clearly says it all.
"Master, you are truly amazing. I have one question that I don't understand."
"Speaking."
"According to Master, the baby girl has a lot of resentment and has been bothering me for thirty-five years. Why didn't I react before, but only recently?"
Master Guichen's voice remained calm, "Amitabha! It cannot be explained."
The person in front of her had repeatedly humiliated her, which made Queen Mother Jiang feel very uncomfortable and made her want to kill him even more.
Queen Mother Jiang has never been a good-tempered person. Twenty years ago when the late emperor was alive, she had to maintain her image in front of the late emperor and to please him, so she suppressed her nature and only dared to vent her anger in secret.
But since the death of the previous emperor, she has been in power and no longer suppresses her temper.
No one had ever dared to humiliate her like this. She had been able to hold back before, but now she could no longer suppress her temper and threatened directly, "Master, if you don't tell me, hundreds of people in Fahua Temple will die because of you. You don't want to be haunted by karma because of this, do you?"
Facing the threat, Master Guichen remained calm, showing no emotion at all, "Why do you have to do this, Madam?"
"Speak, why don't you speak?" Queen Mother Jiang asked coldly, leaving him no way to retreat.
Master Guichen sighed helplessly, "The Emperor's aura is blessed by the will of heaven, so no filth can get close to him. Your Highness is blessed by the Emperor's purple aura, so nothing will happen to her. Now that the purple aura has dissipated, it can no longer suppress the evil spirits."
The meaning is very clear. If the emperor dies, you will have no good days.
Queen Mother Jiang's face was gloomy. "Since the master is so powerful, why don't you tell me where the purple energy is gathering now?"
Before Master Guichen could speak, Queen Mother Jiang stopped him from refusing. "Master, please don't keep your mouth shut and force me to do something I don't want to do."
Now that things have come to this, Master Gui Chen has no choice.
"Northwest corner of the palace."
Located in the northwest corner of the imperial palace is the residence of Prince Jing and Prince Yun.
Prince Jing and Prince Yun, who is most likely to become the next emperor?
Without a doubt, it must be the former.
