Chapter 63 There is a man in the dream...
The moon and stars are sparse.
The silver light is like water.
There was a barely audible sound of a door opening.
Bai Wutong, who was lying on his side, opened his eyes but did not get up.
The footsteps came closer and closer, and finally stopped beside the bed.
Chan'er turned over on the small couch at the side, and saw the tall figure in the room in a daze, and was suddenly awakened with fright.
Just as she was about to scream, a flash of cold light passed by and cut off half of her long hair.
Chan'er was so frightened that she lost her voice and sat on the couch trembling with fear.
Bai Wutong sat up and said, "Don't hurt her, Chan'er, you should go out first. Don't let today's incident rot in your stomach."
"Yes." Chan'er staggered out of the door with shaking hands and feet.
The door is closed.
Only moonlight remains.
Bai Wutong raised his eyes to look at Jin Zhi, his hand unconsciously touched the pillow, "Master Jin."
Jin Zhi prefers her to call his name, which sounds soft and sweet.
"Tomorrow, Prince Anfu's men will come to Huguo Temple to assassinate you. My people will take you away at that time. Don't worry, your life will not be harmed. I have arranged everything. You just need to wait for me in the house."
Bai Wutong stretched out half of her jade-smooth calf, which fell to the ground, and was covered by her gauze skirt.
She walked up to Jin Zhi step by step, stretched out her hand, and placed it on his belt. The corners of her eyes were red and slightly raised. "Master Jin, if I go with you, can you not let me get married? If possible, I want to be yours. I know I am not presentable, but as long as I can see you occasionally, that's enough."
Jin Zhi tightened his jaw, took a breath, and took a step back, "Empress Zhao, please stop talking nonsense."
"Why not? I was doing well in the palace and had an heir. If the child could be born successfully, I would at least be a concubine. But now you want to take me away for Concubine Jin. If I leave the palace, I will never show up again. I just want to be with you and see you occasionally. Don't you agree to such a small condition?"
"I can't promise you that."
"I can go to the border. Anyway, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and no one can find you. You can go back to the capital and marry and have children. When you get to the border, you can be with me. Is that not okay?"
"No." Jin Zhi wanted to leave, "I've got your message. Just don't resist tomorrow. Don't worry, I will protect the emperor, and none of you will be in danger."
Bai Wutong stretched out his fingers, hooked his belt, and slowly took off the veil on his body, "Master Jin, you have seen my body, so you can't deny it."
When Jin Zhi saw the round shoulders and the plump figure wrapped in the bellyband, his heartbeat instantly accelerated.
On the snow-white bellyband, one could vaguely see something that shouldn't be seen.
"Madam Zhaopin, please take a rest."
Jin Zhi turned around and rushed to the door.
Bai Wutong pulled up the veil, "Jin Zhi, you blushed, so you are attracted to me too."
Jin Zhi did not answer, but left quickly, his figure completely disappearing in the thick night.
Bai Wutong walked to the bedside with a smile, "You bastard."
He pretends to be a decent person and keeps strangers away, but his appearance is exposed as soon as he takes off his clothes. He is nothing but a pervert.
Chan Er saw that the person had left, so she dared to enter the house, "Master, are you okay?"
"It's okay, go to sleep."
Bai Wutong slept very well that night.
When I woke up, I saw Chan'er with a haggard face. It seemed that she was quite frightened last night.
"Master, I will help you wash up."
After washing up, Bai Wutong walked out of the room.
The air outside is fresh and refreshing.
Not long after walking out, he saw Zhang Chengyan. He and Jin Zhi were standing side by side, arranging today's sacrificial offerings and prayers.
"Third Master." Bai Wutong walked over quickly.
Jin Zhi looked straight ahead and never turned his head to look at her.
Zhang Chengyan held her hand and asked, "Why did you get up so early?"
"I slept very well yesterday, so I naturally got up a little early. But I had a dream last night. There was a man in the dream..." She hesitated to speak.
Zhang Chengyan smiled softly, "Okay, let's save this for when we're alone."
He directly concluded that Bai Wutong was dreaming about him, and did not notice at all that Jin Zhi beside him suddenly tensed up.
The guards have been deployed.
The auspicious time for praying has been set, which is just half an hour later.
The abbot and senior monks of the temple had already reached the top of the mountain in advance to make preparations.
Bai Wutong deliberately changed into the clothes brought by Zhang Chengyan, and he looked much more solemn.
The two did not hold hands, but went up the mountain one after the other.
Only the Queen is qualified to stand beside the Emperor and pray together.
Even though Bai Wutong was pregnant, she could only stay behind others.
The mountain road is wide and is surrounded by stones. Looking from a high place, you can see the prosperous scene of the capital city below.
Bai Wutong's steps were a little unsteady. Even if she could walk that far, she had to pretend that she couldn't walk, because she was pregnant.
Just as she leaned slightly, a big hand pressed her waist from behind, but quickly released it.
Bai Wutong looked back at Jin Zhi and smiled.
Zhang Chengyan's voice came from the front, "Wutong, are you tired?"
"Yes, I can't walk anymore."
"Then slow down. The road of blessing requires piety. I can't help you."
If he can't help, let someone else help.
Bai Wutong blinked and looked at Jin Zhi. Anyway, the guards had their backs to them and were facing outwards, guarding against the enemy, so no one would peek at them.
Jin Zhi remained unmoved.
Bai Wutong walked even slower, his body tilting from time to time.
Jin Zhi didn't want to do anything, but he was worried about her safety, so he had to help.
Bai Wutong smiled slyly and let him push him.
The top of the mountain is in sight.
Jin Zhi let go of his hand.
Zhang Chengyan stood on the top of the mountain, his imperial majesty fully displayed.
Before you stands a royal temple, painted entirely yellow, with its entrance heavily guarded all year round.
Bai Wutong looked around, extremely curious.
Human beings believe in the three souls and six spirits, believe in the blessings of the dead, and believe that God is merciful.
But they do not believe that other living beings have souls and thoughts of their own.
Bai Wutong pulled out a strand of hair to express his disrespect for this place.
If you want her to respect the place where the human dead are buried, you’re dreaming!
Zhang Chengyan entered the temple first.
Bai Wutong had no choice but to wait where he was.
The sound of monks chanting scriptures could be heard in the temple.
She picked a leaf out of boredom and was about to play with it, but was stopped by Jin Zhi, "Don't move, this is a royal sacrifice site, don't desecrate it."
Bai Wutong had no choice but to give up.
After a full hour, her legs were sore, and Zhang Chengyan finally came out with a smile on his face. He seemed very satisfied with the sacrificial ceremony.
"Princess Zhao, go ahead. The abbot inside will tell you what to do."
Bai Wutong agreed and stepped over the high threshold.
After only taking two steps, a brazier appeared in front of him.
The monk next to him clasped his hands together and whispered, "If the queen wants to enter, she must step over the fire basin."
"Has the Emperor crossed over too?"
"Of course men don't need it."
So this is looking down on her because she is a woman?
Bai Wutong did not lift up her skirt. It seemed that she stepped over, but in fact she drew a half circle beside the brazier, which was considered to be going around it.
The monk bowed, "Madam, please."
Entering the main hall, a tall and majestic Buddha statue comes into view.
The monk pointed at the cushion and said, "Please kneel down and pray for the heir to the throne here."
Bai Wutong did as he was told, clasped his hands together and closed his eyes.
If the Buddha still has a spirit, please bless my father and mother to enter the paradise. In the next life, they will no longer be animals, but will be reincarnated as humans, living a life of wealth and worry-free.
