Chapter 45
Zhou Erlan smiled when he heard this and said, "What a coincidence that I came today. Master Liao Wu just came out of retreat, and I've already seen him."
"Yes, my royal sister, Master Liaowu also gave me a talisman." Zhou Qiuyu said with a smile, and took out a yellow talisman to show her.
"That's great. Yu'er will surely be safe and sound." Zhou Xuanqing stuffed his yellow talisman into his purse and said gently.
The atmosphere among the three of them was very warm, and Toffee's face was smiling again. Angus looked at Gena's red and swollen face and couldn't help asking, "Sister, what's wrong with your face?"
"It's nothing. Gena just said the wrong thing and she deserves to be punished." Gena said aggrievedly, lowering her head so that he couldn't see her face.
"That won't do. Who would be so bold as to slap you in the face?" Although Angus often quarreled with Gena, she was also the princess of Xirong. How could she be bullied like this?
The conversation between the two attracted everyone's attention. Tang Mitang shook his head. He was really courting death. There were so many people here, of course only the emperor would dare to do that!
When Zhou Qiuyu heard that Gena was there too, he quickly looked over. He liked women like Gena very much. Seeing her blushing cheeks, he walked forward with some confusion and was about to ask, when he heard Zhou Xuanqing say lightly from behind.
"I beat him."
Zhou Qiuyu quickly stopped. Although Gena was very unique, he absolutely did not dare to question the imperial sister. The imperial sister must have done something wrong if she hit Gena!
Angus was speechless and stood there for a second before speaking again: "I don't know what Gena did to make the emperor so angry."
"She pushed Tang Mitang and slandered her." Zhou Xuanqing replied lightly, looking at him with a smile.
After hearing this, Tang Mitang wanted to clap and cheer, it was absolutely right!
"Brother Wang~Gena didn't..." Gena grabbed Angus's sleeve and said a little uneasily.
Angus patted her hand to reassure her and asked coldly, "How did the emperor know?"
Zhou Xuan listened and smiled happily. "What a coincidence! I watched for a while and happened to hear Gena say that she pushed it. It's all her fault. Seeing that Gena knew she was wrong, I only slapped her twice. The women of the Great Zhou don't tolerate any insults."
Gena's face turned pale. She did say that, but that wasn't what she meant! Why did Zhou Xuanqing only take it literally?
Tang Mitang couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth. It turns out that this can control Cha Cha~
Angus didn't know what to say for a moment and looked at Gena awkwardly.
"Alright, since Gena is from Xirong, I won't bother with it. Don't let this little incident affect your mood. Let's go have dinner first."
After Zhou Xuanqing finished speaking, she held Tang Mitang's wrist. It seemed that Tang Mitang was supporting her, but in fact, it was Zhou Xuanqing who was supporting Tang Mitang.
"Apply some medicine later." Zhou Xuanqing leaned close to Tang Mitang's ear and whispered.
Tang Mitang nodded and tried to walk faster, after all, there was a group of big guys following him!
"No hurry, walk slowly. I haven't had my meal yet, so I can't walk fast." Zhou Xuanqing said with a smile, pulling Tang Mitang to slow down.
Zhou Xuanqing did not lower his voice, and this obviously gentle voice reached the ears of others, which made them think again.
Tang Mitang heard that she hadn't eaten, raised his hand and twisted her waist, and said fiercely: "Why didn't you eat?"
"Chang Xi didn't give it to me." Zhou Xuan leaned sideways to avoid it, and the hand under his wide sleeves took advantage of the situation to hold the impudent hand.
Tang Mitang swung a knife at Chang Xi, scaring him so much that he took a step back.
"This matter is not my fault..." Chang Xi just opened his mouth, but was glanced at by Zhou Xuanqing. He quickly changed his words and said, "This matter is not my fault, who else can I blame! It's all because I didn't feed the emperor!"
Tang Mitang waved her hand, indicating that she didn't want to listen to Chang Xi's words. This matter was definitely not Chang Xi's fault. It must be because Zhou Xuanqing was busy and didn't remember anything, blocking out everything.
The people behind him watched the interaction between Zhou Xuanqing and Tang Mitang with their eyes wide open. They kept thinking about whether they had offended Tang Mi just now.
The vegetarian meal was unremarkable. After applying medicine to Tang Mitang, Master Liaowu came and said he would explain Buddhist scriptures.
The concubine and others were naturally happy. Everyone knew that Master Liaowu was a rare sight, and it was a great honor to listen to his personal explanation.
Seeing this, Zhou Xuanqing turned around and wanted to leave.
"Your Majesty is a person with a connection to Buddhism. Please stay and listen to what I have to say!" Master Liaowu caught Zhou Xuanqing's movement to slip away and spoke slowly.
Everyone turned their eyes to Zhou Xuanqing, their eyes flashing with expectation.
Zhou Xuanqing awkwardly retracted his legs, nodded, and walked side by side with Liao Wu to the main hall to listen to the Buddha.
Chang Xi supported Tang Mitang and fell behind. Looking at Zhou Xuanqing's depressed and helpless look, Chang Xi couldn't help laughing.
"Tang Mi, do you know why the emperor has a connection with Buddhism?"
"Why?" Tang Mitang asked curiously.
"Hehe, six years ago, when the emperor was eliminating the remaining evildoers, he killed nearly a hundred people in front of Master Wu. In the eyes of these monks, the emperor is extremely sinful, but he is also a rare and kind emperor. So whenever the emperor comes to Nanshan, these monks try to keep him here and chant Buddhist scriptures to him."
Chang Xi covered his mouth and chuckled. The emperor was most annoyed by these bald donkeys, but he had to consider his face and endure it every time. The only people in the world who could control the emperor were probably these monks.
Tang Mitang nodded, looked at Zhou Xuanqing's obviously depressed figure, and smiled with the corners of her mouth.
The sins are grave, aren't they? The character of the devil sister has never been reversed. Except for being gentle to her own people, she is a devil to everyone else.
Since she met Zhou Xuanqing, she has killed so many people that Tang Mitang couldn't even count them. She killed people in the cave that day, and exterminated the three clans of Lin County Magistrate, not to mention the thousands of prisoners of war killed by Lu Zehua.
She was indeed bloodthirsty and ruthless, but she only killed those who deserved to be killed. Among the many ministers in the court and the people of the Great Zhou, no one believed she was wrong. If Zhou Xuanqing had been indecisive and hesitant, the Great Zhou would have been destroyed long ago.
As soon as he entered the main hall, Zhou Xuanqing said, "Master Liaowu, I will go to the side hall to listen to the lecture, so that everyone can listen wholeheartedly while I am here."
After Zhou Xuanqing finished speaking, he waved to Tang Mitang and Chang Xi, then walked towards the side hall.
Master Liao Wu glanced at Zhou Xuanqing and thought that there were monks outside the side hall window. With so many people outside, he was not afraid that Zhou Xuanqing would sneak away. He took the scriptures and prepared to explain. No matter what, he had to let the emperor listen more.
