Chapter 122 It's Not a Coincidence
"Yanqing Temple, you asked me to ask for it."
Pei Yan thought she was just bored and was just making small talk, so he wrote his comments in red ink while responding perfunctorily in a serious manner.
Jiang Shuyi took a deep breath, and because she forgot to exhale, she almost suffocated. She finally adjusted her mentality and said, "Of course I know that it was obtained from Yanqing Temple. I just want to ask your majesty which master did you ask for it from."
She stopped massaging and walked to Pei Yan, looking at him with a smile: "After wearing it, I feel much better. When I leave the palace another day, I will ask for one for Your Majesty!"
Pei Yan actually looked up at her this time: "Do you really feel better?"
Jiang Shuyi nodded repeatedly.
Pei Yan lowered his eyes and thought for a while: "He is an old wandering Taoist priest, his surname is Wu, and his Buddhist name is Zixu. The abbot of the Taoist temple said that he came to Yanqing Temple to register in the early spring of this year."
Jiang Shuyi's hands, curled up in her sleeves, were shaking slightly.
In the previous life in the dream, Pei Yan went mad after his own death, and the old Taoist priest who was captured and could be resurrected was named Wu.
This early spring is the time for my rebirth...
"He is a doctor. He has saved many poor people in the past few months in Beijing. I think he has some merits and is not just a swindler, so I am willing to accept his lucky bag."
Pei Yan was halfway through his speech when he saw that Jiang Shuyi looked unhappy. He paused, put down the imperial brush, and pulled her into his arms and hugged her: "What's wrong?"
Jiang Shuyi unexpectedly sat on Pei Yan's lap, looked into his eyes, and shook her head subconsciously.
Pei Yan stared at her in silence.
Jiang Shuyi knew that she couldn't get away with it anymore.
She could only let herself look downcast and said angrily, "Your Majesty, ask Fang Chu what happened outside just now!"
Pei Yan looked at Fang Chu.
Fangchu smiled and said, "Your Highness was just strolling in the Imperial Garden when she met Concubine Jin. Your Highness was in high spirits and asked Concubine Jin for advice on how to weave a flower basket, but Concubine Jin was not very patient and in the end she was unable to teach you. Your Highness was a little angry, and when she threw the flower basket, the lucky bag fell out. Concubine Jin probably thought it was something that your Highness had secretly exchanged with someone outside the palace, and wanted to use it to blackmail your Highness, but it made your Highness very angry."
When Pei Yan heard Fang Chu's report with a smile, he knew that his family member had not been wronged.
But he was still unhappy, and he looked down at Jiang Shuyi, with a tone of teaching: "You are the imperial concubine, don't you know how to vent your anger when you are offended? Do you have to wait for me to make the decision for you every time?"
Jiang Shuyi opened her almond eyes wide, with a look of injustice and grievance on her face: "How can I be so stupid? I have already punished Concubine Jin to kneel! I have to kneel until dark!"
Pei Yan's expression eased a little, and he asked her to sit on his lap for a while. Then he held her hand and asked, "Are you still angry? Do you think the punishment is not enough?"
Jiang Shuyi hugged his neck and snorted, "If it's not enough, Your Majesty, will you help me?"
Pei Yan didn't say anything, but looked at her with a gentle smile on his face.
Seeing him smiling like that, Jiang Shuyi couldn't help but curl her lips as well. As she was curling her lips, she suddenly realized something was wrong. She shuddered and thought of Jiang Wanqing.
She coughed twice out of nowhere and grabbed Pei Yan's hand: "No, no, no! Not at all, Your Majesty!"
Pei Yan tilted his head: "Aren't you angry?"
"Well, then, then there are other ways!"
Jiang Shuyi was shocked and didn't understand: "Your Majesty is the ruler of a country. You can just find an excuse to punish her and make her live a life worse than death. Why do you have to do such a sneaky thing and make me tremble with fear!"
Pei Yan gently scratched her palm, lowered his eyes, and said in a light tone: "That's the truth, but after so many years, I've gotten used to it."
Whether he was raised by Empress Dowager Wen as a child or was the crown prince in the Eastern Palace, he had to be cautious in his words and actions and demonstrate kindness and benevolence. So when he met someone he had to get rid of, he could only do it in secret.
It has been like this for twenty years, so even if he becomes an emperor now, it will be difficult to change it.
Jiang Shuyi took a breath of cold air.
During this period of time, Pei Yan seemed determined to make her understand why he was not a good person, so from time to time, Jiang Shuyi was forced to listen to Pei Yan talk about his tragic past.
At this moment, she saw that Pei Yan was smiling but his eyebrows were slightly drooping, and she knew that he was thinking about his childhood again.
To prevent him from repeating the experience of being unloved by his father and unloved by his mother, Jiang Shuyi quickly hugged his neck, pulled him down, and kissed him...
＊
In the end, it still delayed an hour.
After dinner, as usual, the two should have hugged each other and talked affectionately, but Pei Yan had to work overtime in the outer hall, continuing to review memorials from various departments.
After bathing and changing her clothes, Jiang Shuyi lay alone on the large dragon bed. She felt a little guilty, but the feeling soon disappeared.
Because there was something even more worrying for her.
Jiang Shuyi took out the note from the lucky bag again and stared at the words "Two Lives as a Human Being" in a daze.
The phrase "living two lives" is like "escaping death by a narrow margin", which means going through very difficult things and being lucky enough to survive.
No one would put such unlucky words in a lucky bag for no reason.
Moreover, there was a lotus pattern printed on the note.
In his previous life, Pei Yan told her when he was reading Buddhist scriptures that the lotus symbolizes rebirth.
Jiang Shuyi didn’t think there would be so many coincidences, so was the Taoist Wu who gave Pei Yan the lucky bag the person in her dream?
If so, what was the meaning of him giving this to Pei Yan? Did he want to see through everything and expose that she was a reborn person? Then just say it directly.
Oh, Pei Yan is not crazy yet, so he won’t believe it.
Moreover, if Pei Yan saw these four words, he would not be able to think of rebirth. Only when she saw them would they work.
Then the bigger question arises, why let her watch it?
Jiang Shuyi stroked the note, feeling nervous.
In the dream, Taoist Wu was a good immortal who saved a stranger who had died in a tragic accident. Even though this exposed his own supernatural powers, he never regretted it.
After being captured and brought into the palace by Pei Yan, in order to protect innocent people from being implicated, he used all his powers to resurrect Jiang Shuyi, but ended up losing his life.
Even so, he did not resent anyone. He just held on to his last breath and advised Pei Yan to be a good person and not to commit murder.
Jiang Shuyi closed her eyes and thought, a person like this shouldn't have any bad intentions, right?
Then why did he send this in?
Jiang Shuyi was unsure of what to do. He could discuss other things with Pei Yan, but this matter... was too big.
She came back from the dead and gained a lifetime of memories, but she didn't tell Pei Yan for such a long time. Moreover, she had harmed so many people in her previous life, including the eldest prince...
She subconsciously hesitated to speak, fearing that it would cause trouble between herself and Pei Yan.
Anyway, her past life was not very happy, and if possible, she wanted to keep it secret for the rest of her life.
But what if Taoist Wu threatened her with this?
If this is true, then you should tell Pei Yan everything.
Pei Yan is never scarier than outsiders.
As Jiang Shuyi was thinking, she fell asleep. When she woke up, it was already late at night.
She turned her head and saw Pei Yan sleeping with his eyes closed facing her.
When she remembered what she was doing before going to bed, she was startled and quickly sat up to look all over the bed for the lucky bag and the note.
Nothing was gained, and Pei Yan was woken up.
Pei Yan grabbed her hand, without opening his eyes, his voice still hoarse from waking up from a deep sleep: "Why are you touching me when you're not sleeping?"
Jiang Shuyi sat up straight at once, and in the dim candlelight outside the gauze curtain, she carefully looked at Pei Yan's face: "Your Majesty, have you seen my lucky bag?"
If that note was seen...
Jiang Shuyi was wondering how to explain, Pei Yan squeezed her hand and said, "I see Fang Chu has been taken away, go to sleep, you have already had it today, don't bother me again."
