Chapter 129: Cracking Method
Pei Yan not only investigated Wu Jianshan's background, he also thoroughly investigated his actions after entering the capital, and confirmed that he had no ill intentions before allowing him into the palace in the name of exorcising evil spirits for the empress dowager.
Pei Yan really didn't want Jiang Shuyi, who would be listed in history books with him in the future, to be branded as ignorant, and for people with ulterior motives to speculate whether she had done anything wrong and was therefore suspicious of him.
In the courtyard outside the palace, a table was set up with candles, yellow paper, a sword, and a Bagua plate.
Wu Shanjian had white hair and beard, holding a precious sword, and was stepping in the air and chanting rituals.
Pei Yan frowned as he watched, turned his head and saw Jiang Shuyi with a pious look on her face, closed his eyes deeply, and decided to approve the government affairs first, so as not to get so angry that he felt suffocated.
As soon as he left, Jiang Shuyi was almost impatient to ask Taoist Wu something, but when she saw Fang Chu and other palace servants beside her, she had to stop and anxiously thought of a reason to send them away.
After Wu Shanjian had been mumbling for nearly a quarter of an hour, he frowned and said, "The evil spirit is in the bedroom. Madam, please take the sword on the table and follow me into the bedroom to kill the evil spirit with your own hands."
Jiang Shuyi understood, and immediately picked up the sword, saying aggressively: "Let's go!"
Fang Chu almost couldn't help laughing out loud. Seeing that the queen was really going to follow this swindler to the bedroom, she became a little worried and wanted to follow her in.
This time, without waiting for Taoist Wu to speak, Jiang Shuyi frowned and looked at her: "What are you talking about? Wait outside!"
It was the first time that Fang Chu was given such a harsh order by the Empress.
In an instant, she thought of the note in the lucky bag, and also thought of the Queen asking His Majesty where he got the lucky bag from...
Some things formed a vague line. Fang Chu took a deep breath and told herself not to think about it. In this dynasty, ignorance is bliss.
She responded, stopping in the courtyard.
Sleeping hall.
Jiang Shuyi couldn't hold back her doubts for a while, so she closed the door and looked at Wu Jianshan and asked, "The note was left by the Taoist priest, right?"
Wu Jianshan's smile was still friendly: "Yes."
"You, what do you mean?"
Jiang Shuyi didn't dare to admit that she was reborn at this moment. She clenched her hands nervously and asked, "Why did you show me those four words?"
"Your Highness has indeed lived two lives."
Wu Jianshan looked at her kindly, without any threat, but with a clear mind that saw through everything: "Rebirth is against the will of heaven, it is all thanks to someone who has taken the consequences for you, so I hope you will cherish your life and do good in this life."
"What karma? Who took responsibility for me?"
Jiang Shuyi didn't bother to play guessing games anymore. She took two steps forward and asked in a confused and urgent manner, feeling vaguely uneasy.
Wu Jianshan: "This is exactly the person the Queen had guessed."
"Your Majesty?!"
Wu Jianshan nodded: "Your Highness must have dreamt about your past life more than once in the past."
Jiang Shuyi felt a tightness in her chest, so she asked instead of answering, "What karma do you want to suffer, Your Majesty? Why do you want to suffer?"
"Your Majesty is an immortal who has gone through many tribulations. In the human world, he was the ruler of a country and suffered betrayal from his relatives. He should have returned to his throne after death, but after checking the fate of the queen, he could not bear it, so he changed her fate and allowed her to be reborn. However, the price he paid was that he would bear the karma of the queen. He would have a short life in every life, and would be reduced to ashes after three lives."
Jiang Shuyi shook her head in disbelief and clenched her trembling hands: "No, no, there are no ghosts or gods in this world. You also think this is a storybook, how can you make it up like this?"
Wu Jianshan looked compassionate: "If there is no mystery in the world, how did the Queen come to be reborn?"
It was almost the Dragon Boat Festival and the weather was scorching, but Jiang Shuyi felt as if she was falling into an icy cave.
She pressed her back against the door to keep herself from falling to the ground.
Pei Yan is handsome, indeed he looks like a god...
"Master, is this what you came here to tell me?"
Jiang Shuyi thought of something and suddenly looked up at Wu Jianshan: "Do you have any solution? How much silver do you want, or do you want my life? I will return it to His Majesty. It's just a short life for three lifetimes, and I will be reduced to ashes. I am just a mortal body, and I will be destroyed. Your Majesty is an immortal king, and he could have lived as long as the sky..."
Wu Jianshan: "Even if you become an immortal, you can't live as long as the heavens. Once your heart is disturbed, you can't survive the loneliness of thousands of years and will die in silence."
"Can't understand!"
Jiang Shuyi interrupted him anxiously: "Tell me quickly, can we change the cause and effect?"
Wu Jianshan sighed: "My opinion is that Your Majesty has lost his mind to keep quiet because of the Empress. Even if you can change your fate, Your Majesty will not be able to survive."
"So I can only watch him turn into ashes?!"
"Your Highness, please be at ease." Wu Jianshan said slowly, "It's not that there is no hope for this matter. I have tried to meet you just to ask you if you are willing to change your fate."
"How should I turn it?" Jiang Shuyi was kept in suspense for several times and was furious: "If you want to say it, just say it all in one breath. If you keep trying to be mysterious, I will think you are a liar!"
Wu Jianshan was not angry either, and said with a smile: "If your majesty is willing to give up the splendor and wealth, leave the palace and follow me to practice asceticism, then if you have merits in the future, you can change the fate of three lives and extinction of the soul."
Jiang Shuyi was so anxious that she wanted to agree immediately. Then she thought of something and looked at him suspiciously, "How long will it take for you to come back? Where are you going to practice? If it's too far, His Majesty will definitely not agree..."
"Travel all over the world, never return in this life."
Jiang Shuyi paused and frowned: "Are you a liar? A liar sent by Tuoba Yuer, trying to take me to Xitian as a hostage!"
Wu Jianshan: "I know that Your Majesty will find it hard to believe it for the time being. I have a talisman here. Your Majesty, please stick it on the head of your bed. Do not sleep with Your Majesty, and do not place Your Majesty's belongings in the bedroom. You will dream of what I said tonight."
After Wu Shanjian finished speaking, he took out a piece of yellow talisman paper painted with cinnabar from his sleeve and handed it over respectfully with both hands.
Jiang Shuyi looked at the talisman paper and hesitated for a long time. Finally, she stepped forward and took it with her still trembling hands.
Wu Jianshan withdrew his hand and said kindly, "There is one more thing I need to remind your Majesty."
Jiang Shuyi's mind was in a mess now, and she subconsciously asked, "What?"
Wu Jianshan: "Ghosts cannot communicate with the living world without permission. Last time, a ghost came to the queen in her dream, and the queen fell seriously ill. In the future, I hope the queen will not easily tell the ghosts about her sufferings. Otherwise, if the ghost can't let go and communicates with the living world again, it will be a disaster for the queen and the ghosts."
Jiang Shuyi was confused for a moment about what he meant.
What ghosts came to me in dreams, what serious illness, what disaster...
Suddenly, Jiang Shuyi remembered something.
On the day Jiang Wanqing died, she dreamed that her aunt came to persuade her not to be sad, and that she had already taken Jiang Wanqing away.
The next day, Jiang Shuyi had a high fever for no apparent reason and was in a coma for three days. Pei Yan always thought that it was because of his excessive behavior, and the trauma left a lasting mark on her.
So it was really her aunt who appeared in her dream...
Jiang Shuyi covered her aching heart and burst into tears.
