Chapter 203: Opening the altar

When Lin You returned to the courtyard of the chamber, Shen Yinlai had already arrived. Because he was a man, he could not live in the same courtyard with them, but lived next door to them.

He came to see the Queen Mother and happened to run into Lin You, so Lin You said: "The Queen Mother is resting, you don't have to disturb her for now."

Shen Yinlai looked at her with obsidian eyes, wanting to ask her how she was preparing, but couldn't speak.

But her frowning eyebrows had already explained everything. Lin You slightly moved closer to him and lowered his voice, "Don't worry, I'm ready."

"But I'll need your help tonight."

Shen Yinlai nodded, his eyes full of determination.

After finishing the business, Lin You remembered his voice, "By the way, didn't I tell you to come here every day last time? Why didn't you come?"

Otherwise, if the treatment lasts for three consecutive days, there should be some improvement.

Shen Yinlai glanced at the personal guard behind him. The guard walked closer and lowered his voice, "The prince was afraid that they would miss it if they made any more moves, so..."

Lin You understood and said what he should say. Lin You distanced himself from them and went into his own room. Shen Yinlai also returned the same way.

When the sun was setting, the queen dowager had a good rest and led the concubines to the main hall of the Huguo Temple.

Because they knew that the queen dowager was coming today, the temple was closed and all pilgrims were prohibited from entering the temple.

But they could do nothing about Prince Yu and his party.

After all, they are also members of the royal family.

So, when the Queen Mother led the concubines into the hall, they saw Concubine Li, Shen Yu, and Pan Xue kneeling on the futon to pray for blessings. The Queen Mother

was stunned for a moment, but soon she was relieved.

But Concubine Chan and Concubine De didn't know the hidden truth, and they were very surprised to see Shen Yu and the others.

After Concubine Chan was stunned, her first premonition was that it couldn't be such a coincidence.

Pan Xue and the others must have come for Lin You.

Thinking of this, Concubine Chan's restless mood improved a lot.

Concubine Li and the others prayed for blessings and stood up, and just then they saw the Queen Mother and the others, but there was no big wave in their eyes, and they didn't pretend to be surprised.

Instead, he calmly put his hands together and bowed to the Queen Mother. "I am a poor monk, and I am here to see the Queen Mother."

That calm, ruthless and desireless look really made her look like a monk. If it weren't for Lin You's God's perspective, he wouldn't have known that she was a slut in private.

The Queen Mother nodded, "I have never seen my sister since she became a nun. I didn't expect to meet her today. It seems to be fate."

Concubine Li still nodded, lowering her eyebrows, "Prince Yu has been unwell recently, so I brought him here to pray for blessings. I wonder if the Queen Mother is?"

[Haha, finally getting to the point.]

Lin You looked at her with a seductive look.

The Queen Mother sighed softly, "You know the emperor's health, so I brought the concubines here to pray, thinking that one more person means more piety."

"The Buddha said that the emperor is a golden dragon and is blessed by gods and Buddhas. His health should get better, but it has been the same from beginning to end. Maybe it is..."

Concubine Li stopped talking halfway. "

Sister, please feel free to say what you want to say." The

Queen Mother's tone was a little anxious.

Concubine Li just continued: "Maybe there is a demon in this."

The Queen Mother looked slightly surprised, "What do you mean?"

"This..." Wan Li hesitated, and then looked at Xuan Zhen who was standing quietly not far away, "I am a poor monk with little knowledge of Taoism, and I can only guess.

It would be better for the Queen Mother to ask Master Xuan Zhen." If this matter is decided by her, it would be too strange, so it is best for Xuan Zhen to say it.

After hearing this, the Queen Mother looked at Master Xuan Zhen, and he stepped forward a few steps.

"Master Xuan Zhen, do you think there is a demon in this matter?" The Queen Mother asked.

After Xuan Zhen pretended to consider it for a while, he opened his lips, "Everything in the world is possible, but if you want to identify it, you have to open a ritual to ask the Buddha for instructions."

After hearing this, several concubines were stunned and couldn't help sighing.

Lin You glanced at Shen Yu and Pan Xue, and met Shen Yu's burning and somewhat complicated gaze.

Lin You looked away in disgust.

Shen Yu's face turned green.

But Pan Xue always lowered her head and kept her presence to a minimum.

After a long time, the Queen Mother replied: "Then I'll trouble Master Xuan Zhen."

At this moment, the Queen Mother had roughly guessed what this scene was about.

"Then the Queen Mother can go to Qingxin Hall to copy the scriptures first, and I will prepare it."

The Queen Mother nodded, and Master Xuan Zhen left.

At this time, the Queen Mother looked at Pan Xue who was standing behind Shen Yu and Wan Li. "Who is this?"

Shen Yu raised his eyes and opened his lips. "Mother, this is, my son's... fiancée."

Shen Yu was very embarrassed to say the word "fiancée". Of course, he was very reluctant to marry Pan Xue now, but he had already acknowledged Pan Xue's identity on the street before, and almost everyone in Shengjing knew about this.

"Oh, how come I don't know when you got a fiancée and which good girl she is?" The

Queen Mother's voice sank slightly.

Shen Yu heard that the Queen Mother was a little angry, and he was actually a little excited in his heart.

At this moment, he hoped that the Queen Mother would not agree to his marriage, so that he would have a reason not to marry Pan Xue.

Pan Xue behind him felt depressed when she heard the Queen Mother's words.

His crossed fingers could not help but clench.

"Mother, Panxue is just a girl from an ordinary family, but I love her."

Shen Yu had to act well, so he could only say the word "love" against his will.

Panxue, who was standing behind him, heard this and her heart warmed up.

It turned out that the prince still loved her. Concubine

Li, who was wearing a nun's dress, frowned since the Queen Mother asked.

As a mother, she was unwilling to be kicked out of the Guardian General's Mansion and to allow the notorious Pan Xue to enter Prince Yu's Mansion, but her son had said it first, and her affairs were caught by Pan Xue, so she had to put it aside for the time being. The Queen

Mother sighed again, "Originally, I was planning to find a good girl for you, but since you have someone in your heart, it is not convenient for me to force you to marry someone else."

Shen Yu, who was very happy in his heart, changed his expression after hearing the Queen Mother's words.

Haha, he shouldn't expect it.

The Queen Mother never took him seriously, so how could she really want to arrange a marriage for him? It was obvious that she was taking this opportunity to act like a kind mother as a Queen Mother.

Perhaps, the Queen Mother should be very happy at this moment.

She was glad that he didn't marry the daughter of an important official, because that would reduce the threat to her useless son.

"Mother, you are already tired of worrying about my brother's affairs, and I dare not trouble you any more." Shen Yu had a sneer on his lips.

Then he raised his eyes and looked at Lin You and others, "However, my brother has been on the throne for many years, but he still has no heir. Mother should add a few more concubines for my brother, so that he can have more children and successors." The queen mother

lowered her eyes, with a half-smile on her face, "I will consider this matter."

After that, the queen mother was too lazy to play along with Shen Yu, and led the concubines to burn incense and worship Buddha.
