"Tian'er is afraid that her cousin will be embarrassed," Ruan Tian shivered in the quilt. ..
The old lady half hugged Ruan Tian in her arms. Thinking of this silly girl who had been to the gates of hell during the day, the old lady felt distressed. When had her niece ever suffered such a suffering?
"Why doesn't the princess like Tian'er?" Ruan Tian asked crying.
The old lady shook her head and said, "Don't talk about her."
Ruan Tian said "Oh" in a wronged tone.
"Heal your wounds here," the old lady said to Ruan Tian, "and don't be afraid when you go home. With my old bones around, I will find a good marriage for you."
"Aunt," Ruan Tian called the old lady.
The old lady wiped the tears from Ruan Tian's face and whispered, "I know what's on your mind."
Upon hearing the old lady's words, Ruan Tian's body trembled suddenly.
"It's not your fault," the old lady said, "You grew up with that bastard, so it's not surprising that you have him in your heart."
Ruan Tian looked up at the old lady and suddenly started crying again, saying, "Aunt, Tian'er has lost his shame?"
The old lady still reached out her hand to wipe Ruan Tian's tears and sighed, "You also met the princess today. She can't tolerate you. Xinglang is also a soft-hearted person. Tian'er, I can't push you into the fire pit."
Ruan Tian immediately cried to the old lady: "My cousin is not a fire pit."
"The people who serve the princess haven't returned to the capital yet," the old lady said, "so you didn't see those people today. If you fall into the hands of them, you won't survive for half a day."
Ruan Tian cried in the old lady's arms. She was scared. She almost lost her life the first time she faced the imperial power. But thinking of Gu Xinglang, Miss Ruan was unwilling to give up. She had thought about Gu Xinglang for so many years. Now she could finally live in the Gu Mansion again. Was she going to give up like this? "Is my cousin having a hard time?" Miss Ruan asked the old lady.
The old lady's heart ached when Ruan Tian asked her this, and she said angrily, "This is his fate!"
Ruan Tian lowered her head and waited for her broken bones to heal. Isn't there still time? Let's try again, Miss Ruan said to herself, Princess Linglong looks good, but her manners are vulgar. How could her cousin like such a vulgar and rude woman?
"Go to sleep," the old lady coaxed Ruan Tian, "Sleep more, the wound will heal faster."
Ruan Tian closed her eyes obediently.
In Madam Xu's room, Madam Sun was guarding her mother-in-law's bed. Madam Sun had not had time to rest since returning home, and now she could not hold on any longer and fell asleep.
"General!" Mrs. Xu shouted loudly, waking up from her coma.
Mrs. Sun's sleepiness was awakened by Mrs. Xu's shout. Seeing that Mrs. Xu had sat up by herself, she hurriedly asked, "Mother, are you awake?"
Madam Xu sat on the bed with her eyes open, but she seemed to be in a dream. She looked around and whispered, "The general is back, he is back."
Mrs. Sun was frightened by Mrs. Xu's appearance. Who was the general her mother-in-law was calling?
Madam Xu shouted out the door, "General?"
There was a flickering candlelight outside the door and shadows of people were everywhere, but no one answered.
Mrs. Sun finally understood. Although all the men in the mansion were generals, her mother-in-law would not call the master a general, nor would she call a son a general. The only person her mother-in-law could call a general was her father-in-law who had died many years ago. "Mother," Mrs. Sun gently nudged Mrs. Xu and whispered, "Are you dreaming?"
Madam Xu looked at her eldest daughter-in-law.
Madam Sun looked at Madam Xu and smiled, "Mother, are you awake?"
Mrs. Xu's gaze gradually turned dead silent again.
Mrs. Sun asked cautiously, "Mother, the day has passed, do you want some food?"
"Where is your brother?" asked Mrs. Xu.
Madam Sun knew that Madam Xu might be unhappy, but she still smiled and said, "The emperor has granted the princess and my brother a house, and the young couple has gone to the new house. I heard that the house is very nice and it belongs to Prince Rui."
Mrs. Xu said calmly, "He moved out?"
Madam Sun smiled and said, "Mother, my brother belongs to Princess Shang, so it's only a matter of time before he moves out."
"Help me up," Mrs. Xu ordered Mrs. Sun.
Mrs. Sun said, "Mother, it's so late, where are you going? The doctor said you are tired and need to rest well."
"I'm going to the Buddhist temple," Mrs. Xu said, looking outside the door without even looking at Mrs. Sun who was sitting next to her.
Mrs. Sun had no choice but to help Mrs. Xu get dressed and get out of bed. She then called the maid in to help her support Mrs. Xu to the Buddhist hall.
After entering the Buddhist hall, Mrs. Xu saw that the windows were clean and the incense in the incense burner was burning. She nodded and said to Mrs. Sun, "You can go down."
Mrs. Sun said, "Mother, let's have some porridge and rice first and then worship the Buddha."
Mrs. Xu knelt in front of the Buddha.
Seeing that her mother-in-law was no longer prepared to pay attention to her, Mrs. Sun had no choice but to retreat with the maids and servants.
After being alone in the Buddhist temple, Mrs. Xu threw herself in front of the Guanyin statue and asked anxiously, "Bodhisattva, I dreamed of my general. Is the day when I will see him again soon?"
Bodhisattva Guanyin has a smile on her face, full of compassion.
Mrs. Xu knelt before the Buddha with a look of madness.
Gu Xinglang and Yu Xiaoxiao lay in each other's arms under the warm quilt.
Yu Xiao: "I don't know if the Big Bowl Restaurant will be open tomorrow."
"Let's go and have a look," Gu Xinglang said, "If the door is not open, we can go find roast duck somewhere else."
"Yeah," Yu Xiaoxiao rubbed against Gu Xinglang's arms.
The young couple slept in each other's arms. No matter what they would face tomorrow, as long as they were together, it seemed that the day would always go on.
The spring rain outside the window is still falling, but it makes the house seem even quieter.
At this time, Xianzong once again stood in the dungeon of the Ministry of Punishment.
The door of the cell was wide open. Chu Qiu was lying on the ground, twisting and struggling, his mouth still wide open, but he could not make a sound.
Xianzong covered his mouth and nose tightly with a scented handkerchief and looked at the man in front of him who was covered in blood.
"She did it herself," the newly appointed chief supervisor of the Ministry of Punishment reported to King Hyeonjong with a pale face. Apparently, the tragic sight of Chu Qiu tearing and scratching her skin all over her body frightened this eunuch who had seen many tortures.
"She is still alive!" Xianzong said in disbelief.
"Yes, yes," said the chief supervisor, "she, she can still move!"
This is the Temple of Eternal Life. Xianzong looked at Chuqiu who seemed to be unable to die on the ground and thought, this is the method of the Temple of Eternal Life! He must kill Mo Wen, no matter for whom, for the common people, for Linglong, or for himself, he must kill Mo Wen, the evil ghost should stay underground, he can't let an evil ghost live in the world.
