East Palace.
"Your Highness, I have conveyed His Majesty's intention. Please leave as soon as possible." The purple-robed eunuch bowed respectfully.
Jiang Yu's eyelids twitched and he asked:
"What other edict did the emperor issue?"
"Your Highness, I think you should stop caring so much about political affairs..."
The purple-robed eunuch wanted to refuse, but when he met Jiang Yu's eyes, he sighed.
Even if he didn't say it, as the crown prince, he would be able to find out from other sources. After all, His Majesty's edict had to be announced in the court.
Then he repeated the imperial edict in a low voice.
"Are we going to send our mother to the Pagoda Temple?" Jiang Yu frowned tightly.
Whenever talking about temples, my mother always expressed disgust. Even if my father would occasionally go to the Zen temple to burn incense, he would claim to be ill and not go.
"It means personally arranging the marriage, not just granting it."
Jiang Yu showed a mocking smile: "Father doesn't even care about our brothers and sisters, but he cares about an outsider..."
"Your Highness, let's set off as soon as possible." The purple-robed eunuch felt his hair stand on end.
He was afraid of hearing something that would be difficult to say to His Majesty. If he did not report it, he would offend the emperor; if he did report it, he would offend the future emperor.
.....
Pagoda Temple.
The team escorting Chu Ge had just stopped, and the palace maids were waiting on the pale-faced Chu Ge, whispering:
"Your Majesty is so cruel. Your Majesty is still sick and hasn't recovered yet, but you are allowed to come to this cold and lonely place with green lamps and ancient Buddhas."
"What's the noise outside?" Queen Chu Ge's voice was indeed weak.
"My lady, it was the monks from the Hanging Temple and the Dragon Elephant Temple who came to visit us to discuss Dharma and Zen. Now they have just finished their discussion."
"What was the result?"
"A young monk silenced all the monks in their argument."
The maid wanted to tell some funny stories to cheer Chu Ge up, so she described them vividly:
"The monks at Longxiang Temple were not good at speaking, and they were defeated after just a few words. They almost got angry and started fighting, but there was a monk named Zang'ai who said he heard a few questions from a good friend and wanted to ask the monks at Baota Temple to solve them."
Hearing the name Murong Xiao, Chu Ge frowned, as if she was reminded of a bad person:
"What did he ask?"
"Who am I, where do I come from, and where am I going?"
"He is naturally Zang Ai. Apart from his Buddhist name, he also has a secular name..." Chu Ge paused here, seeming a little absent-minded.
The maid didn't notice that something was wrong with the Queen, and continued to chatter:
"The monks at the Pagoda Temple gave the same answer, but the monk Zang Ai said that he could be called Zang Ai, anyone could be called Zang Ai, it was just a code name, without this code name, who would he be?"
“Who is he….Who am I…”
Chu Ge muttered to himself, his eyes suddenly becoming straight.
Her pale cheeks began to turn gray, a sign of decay....
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty! You..." The palace maid was terrified.
"Amitabha... Goddess, you are obsessed."
A burst of Buddhist chanting sounded, and the scriptures carried the gilded glory of saving all living beings, which cleansed the soul when heard.
In front of the Pagoda Temple, a monk with a solemn appearance stood there at some point. He was short, with a very large face, but his facial features were particularly compact, like a Maitreya Buddha with disproportionate facial features.
The peaceful Buddhist music woke Queen Chu Ge up from her dream and restored her composure.
Her eyes regained their sharpness: "Is that monk Zang Ai a disciple of the Hanging Temple?"
"That's true, but the Zen debate doesn't count as our temple's loss."
The short monk put his hands together and said, "The monk Zang Ai's secular name is Murong Xiao. He is a good friend of the famous Li Shaoxia in the imperial capital. His three questions were also raised by Li Shaoxia."
"It's him again..."
Queen Chu Ge smiled coldly.
She lost everything this time because she didn't take that boy into consideration.
After all, no matter how brilliant or talented one is, what kind of storm can one stir up? Back then, Jingtai was so brilliant and talented that he could catch up with Emperor Taizu Wu. But if he didn't reach the seventh level, he wouldn't even be a chess piece.
But I never expected that it was such a person...
Fortunately, he is going to die.
"Your Highness has never been happy about the Buddhist Kingdom preaching in Dayu. Would you like to listen to what I, a humble monk, have to say about Buddhism?"
"Emperor Wu destroyed Buddhism, but Your Majesty is quite concerned about worshipping Buddha."
"The Buddha only wants all living beings to reach the other shore. Buddhism is not anyone's enemy, my lady."
....
Li Mo regained consciousness, but he knew he was not awake because he did not feel any pain throughout his body.
There seemed to be many sounds around, and many strange visions emerged, colorful and bizarre.
"Where is this?"
"Is this a dream or is he really dead..."
Li Mo was confused.
[Hello host, this system is still there. ]
[You have multiple rewards to claim, this system will prioritize showing you the most valuable ones. ]
Hearing the voice of the system, Li Mo felt inexplicably relieved.
With moonlight surrounding him, he roughly understood his situation. It was probably that Bingtuozi had used some means to protect his body.
I guess they are trying to find a way to rescue him now.
Having said that, since the system is here.
This reward is probably unprecedented, right?
"The system has always been very reliable. I hope the rewards this time can be used..."
Li Mo breathed a sigh of relief. He was finally no longer worried that he would not wake up, or that he would lose all his martial arts skills when he woke up.
[Please rest assured, the system's products are of the highest quality and are all made according to the host's needs. ]
