Chapter 291 Buddha's Fate

Even if you try to control yourself, the feeling of liking someone will always come back easily at some point.

Si Linglong was reluctant to admit it, but she suffered from insomnia again on the first night of her official return.

In the next few days, Si Linglong insisted on riding back in her leaky carriage, feeling very uncomfortable. She then took little Li Sheng to ride in Gu Qingquan's carriage, and as soon as she got on the carriage, she pretended to have a sore throat.

Helian Yue tried several times to call people back, but Si Linglong refused to go over. When she got angry, she even dared to sneak into the empress dowager's carriage.

It just so happened that Fuhua had not been in good spirits for the past two days, so the Queen Mother asked Doctor Yu to go and see him. When Si Linglong heard this, she thought that this was my specialty, so she immediately asked the Queen Mother for permission and got on board the Queen Mother's carriage.

In the car, Si Linglong used her hands to carelessly stroke Fuhua, successfully making Fuhua unable to resist and fall limply on the small couch beside her, while explaining to the Queen Mother beside her,

"Cats that stay in one place for a long time are prone to stress when they suddenly leave their familiar environment. It is common for them to be listless or have a poor appetite. The queen mother can spend more time with her and try not to change her diet. If she puts familiar objects with her, she will feel more secure..."

Si Linglong rambled on about a bunch of stress precautions for cats, then glanced at the incense burner in the car and said, "I remember that the jade Buddha incense was often lit in the Queen Mother's Hall. Cats are very sensitive to fragrance. Although the moon sandalwood in the car has the effect of refreshing the mind, it may not be used to it."

When the Queen Mother heard this, she slightly opened her eyelids and looked at her.

Without saying anything, he just looked at Jin Xin beside him and signaled her to change the incense.

Jin Xin nodded, walked forward, and covered the incense burner.

The Queen Mother saw that the cat, which had never been fond of acting coquettishly, easily exposed its belly under her hands and even made a comfortable purring sound. She had to say that although this little concubine was a little unstable, she did have some skills.

Just take the past two days, for example, she noticed the little awkwardness between her and the emperor.

Now he even came to her place under some pretext.

Young people nowadays are really... unstable.

Seeing that she didn't show any intention of returning to her car immediately after she finished her instructions, the Queen Mother ignored her and turned her gaze to the little girl who was following her and asked,

"Are you planning to take this girl back to the palace to settle her down?"

It seemed like a casual question, but it made Si Linglong's heart ache.

She didn't think that the Queen Mother asked this question to allow her to bring the person back to the palace and settle him down.

Zi Gu said softly, "Just bring him back to Beijing and find someone to take care of him."

After a pause, thinking about the Queen Mother's belief in Buddhism, she added, "I think it is fate that we met at Yutai Mountain. Maybe it was also the guidance of the Buddha."

The Queen Mother glanced at her.

You act as if you think even Buddha wouldn't accept this child.

"As Concubine Lang Guipin said, is this child destined to be with Buddha?"

The Queen Mother asked this on purpose.

Generally speaking, words like Buddha’s affinity are not something that can be said lightly.

If Si Linglong said yes, then she would have pointed out in front of the Queen Mother that the child had a connection with Buddha, and the only outcome for her would be to send the child to become a monk in the future.

If Si Linglong said no, then what he said just now was just a lie to fool her.

As soon as Si Linglong heard it, she knew that the Queen Mother was setting a trap for her. She was about to make an excuse when she suddenly seemed to remember something. She stopped stroking the cat and looked at the Queen Mother with her eyes slightly brightening.

The Empress Dowager was confused.

Then Si Linglong said seriously, "The Queen Mother is right. This child might really have a special fate!"

The Queen Mother narrowed her eyes, "Hmm?"

"I wonder if the Queen Mother has ever heard of Master Yuanzun?" Si Linglong asked with a burning gaze.

The Queen Mother was somewhat puzzled, but her face remained calm, "I have heard of it, so what?"

Although Yuanzun was not a Buddhist, he was said to be skilled in magic and was a man of real talent. She had also heard before that the emperor had specially sought out this Master Yuanzun to enter the palace for her. How could she not have heard of that?

Si Linglong didn't know what the Queen Mother was thinking. She was only thinking about her own thoughts and couldn't help asking, "Does the Queen Mother know how to find this Master Yuanzun?"

She had previously thought that she could entrust little Li Sheng to the care of the Si family first, but she forgot that little Li Sheng was a little monster. If she were left in the care of an ordinary family, it would be inappropriate if something happened to him.

She had met Yuan Zun before. He seemed like a charlatan, but he was actually a man of real ability. The word "loyalty" he left for her was also the guidance he left for her.

If it were him, maybe he would be more suitable to adopt little Li Sheng.
