Suddenly, she seemed to have touched something dirty and immediately shook her hand away.
Bellyband!
In addition, the secret compartment also contained handkerchiefs, silk...all women's belongings!
This is a place for monks who are pure in mind and not involved in worldly affairs, but it hides so many women's things!
Whose Zen room is this?
Chu Li immediately stuffed the things back, propped up the table legs, and walked around the house looking for any traces.
Finally, I saw a familiar sachet on the table.
This is……
When she was in the bamboo forest courtyard, she saw Master Guiyi hanging on his body.
This is Master Guiyi’s Zen room!
Chu Li was shocked.
Could it be that...
Those women imprisoned in the cellar, the twenty or thirty children thrown away over the years... were all done by Master Guiyi?
Including her...
Is she... Master Guiyi's biological child?
Chu Li felt dizzy and staggered a few steps, almost falling down.
impossible!
how so!
The truth that needs to be deliberately hidden is often unexpected and difficult to accept. Just like at this moment, Chu Li's mood is like a huge rock falling into the water, causing thousands of ripples that cannot be calmed for a long time.
How should she face it?
How should we accept this fact?
She would rather her biological parents were poor people who abandoned her because they were unable to raise her, than she could never accept that her biological father was a devil who imprisoned women and had a snake heart and a good mouth!
…
When she left Tianling Temple, her legs felt weak, her face was dazed, and she could hardly find her breath.
In the dark, Chong Feng has been waiting:
"Madam, is there any progress?"
He strode closer, only to see that the woman's face had turned pale.
"Madam, what's wrong with you?" He hurriedly supported her, but the skin on the back of her hand he touched was colder than winter snow.
What happened?
Chu Li's voice trembled: "Chong... Chong Feng... go back... go back to the bamboo forest... I have something to ask General Xie."
That night, Chu Li's mood changed drastically.
Regardless of day or night, he woke up Xie Enhong who was sleeping in bed at three o'clock in the morning.
"Godfather."
Seeing that something was wrong, Xie Enhong immediately put on his clothes and lit the candle on the table.
"Godfather, can I trust you?"
"Li'er, you don't look well. Did something happen? You can distrust me, but don't you trust the Regent?"
Chu Li's eyes were dazed.
yes.
My adoptive father was recommended by the emperor's uncle himself.
She shouldn't question the uncle's ability to judge people, but she was confused, completely confused:
"How long have you... known Master Guiyi of Tianling Temple? How much do you know about him? Do you know him inside and out?"
Xie Enhong frowned and said truthfully:
"I resigned from my post about seven years ago and retired to live in a small bamboo forest. I ran into him by chance one time, and after a few visits, we often met for tea and chatted."
"He is a senior monk from Tianling Temple, and I am a hermit. We have similar temperaments and can talk to each other."
If you understand...
Apart from knowing that this person is a high monk from Tianling Temple, nothing else is known.
Chu Li asked: "Then do you know why he got the burns on his face?"
Xie Enhong said:
"I heard that more than 20 years ago, when the late emperor of Great Chu went to Tianling Temple to burn incense, there was a flood. In order to protect the late emperor of Great Chu, he burned his face. Because of this, the late emperor granted him the title of high monk and the Zen name 'Guiyi'."
Chu Li's eyes darkened.
More than 20 years ago...
More than twenty years... was the time when Dongling was destroyed and Da Chu was founded.
"Tori, is this person cheating?"
Thinking of such dark and cruel things, Chu Li was so disgusted that he couldn't speak.
"Tonight, I went to Tianling Temple, but I saw that Master Guiyi's meditation room was empty. Is he not in the temple?"
"What you don't know, Li'er, is that Master Guiyi was summoned to the palace more than 20 days ago."
"What?!"
-
The palace walls were as deep as the sea, and the guards were strictly on duty, with every location strictly guarded.
Panlong Hall.
Military intelligence from the front was sent one after another, all of which were news that the Regent had recaptured the city. Master Guiyi was particularly angry when he heard it:
"Why can't you resist the Regent!"
Chu Yeli slumped in the chair, looking at him with pale eyes:
"All the troops that should be sent have been sent. Unless he asks the South Barbarian Princess for help, he will surely attack the imperial capital within seven days."
"You useless piece of trash!"
In the current situation, the Nanman Princess is being held back by King Yin and can barely protect herself, so how can she have the time to come to reinforce.
"I didn't expect that you took the throne, but it was just a facade, nothing more than a mere decoration!"
Chu Yeli said nothing.
Or rather, he was waiting.
He was waiting for the day when the Regent and Chu Li would attack back to the imperial capital.
Master Guiyi brushed his sleeves and paced back and forth.
Walk here, walk there.
Walk over and walk back.
no.
We can't just sit there and wait for death.
You have to strike first!
He walked to the table and picked up the red brush. "Write a letter and ask the Regent and Chu Li to come to the palace for negotiations. They must come alone and no guards are allowed except the two of them. Otherwise, kill Chu Aotian and the other hostages."
Chu Yeli's eyes turned cold:
"what you up to?"
Master Guiyi smiled grimly:
"Of course, we have to lure them into the palace, capture them all, kill them, and put an end to it all."
Pull out the rice paper and slap it in front of him.
"Write!"
Chu Yeli looked at him coldly: "Why don't you write it yourself?"
Master Guiyi smiled alertly: "My handwriting is different from yours. If the Regent is so vigilant, he will not be fooled if he finds any clues. You write."
"I've been poisoned by the incense, I feel weak all over, and I can't hold a pen. Why don't you help me untie it first... um!"
Before he could finish his words, he was suddenly grabbed by the collar.
"My dear, you'd better listen to me and don't play tricks on me. Do you want me to kill Chu Aotian?"
Chu Yeli's eyes turned red.
He didn't dare do anything to make Chu Li sad again, let alone hurt the people she cared about.
"I'll write it!"
"That's good."
Chu Yeli clenched the red pen tightly, his palms trembling with anger, but he had to write slowly and write according to what Master Guiyi said.
complete.
Master Guiyi picked up the letter and looked at it carefully. "You didn't make any special marks on it, did you?"
"..."
"Take it down and have someone make a copy of it in your handwriting."
"you!"
mean.
So despicable!
Master Guiyi Langsheng said with a smile: "Don't worry, my son. I am just being safe. Killing the Regent is better than killing myself."
"I'm afraid that after the regent dies, it will be my turn next?"
"What are you talking about, my son? Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs, so how could I hurt you?"
Master Guiyi laughed loudly. After sending the negotiation letter, he had to prepare a grave for the Regent.
"Have the archers ready. Fill the palace incense burner with incense that makes you feel lost. Mix cartilage powder into the food and drinks."
Be fully prepared.
The final battle must be foolproof!
