Shang Changge stroked her teacup, looking down at the abbot with sharp, meaningful eyes, her words carrying a deeper meaning:
"If you do not want to commit further acts of killing, you should not distort the facts and go astray."
Since you are all monks, you should not concern yourselves with worldly affairs.
A moment later, the abbot and his entourage left the palace.
All the monks, including the abbot, remained silent on the way out of the palace.
No one mentioned bringing the truth to light again, because they had all understood what the princess had said.
Creating more killing karma... Now the court is on the right track, and the country is peaceful and prosperous.
If the truth comes out, some people will surely take the opportunity to cause trouble, and how many more people will die then? Wouldn't that be creating more karma of killing?
not to mention,
The current emperor... is a rare and wise ruler.
Then why did they do that...? But...
It wasn't until they had traveled a long way from the palace that a monk asked the abbot.
"Abbot, what should we do now?"
They had granted Princess Anle's request, but now they were unable to fulfill it.
They have failed in their mission. How are they going to explain this to the deceased Princess Anle?
The abbot looked back at the palace, sighed deeply, and shook his head: "The struggles within the royal family are ultimately beyond our control. So be it. When we return, we'll recite scriptures and pray for Princess Anle's well-being..."
Before long, the conversation between the abbot and the others reached Shang Changze's ears.
Shang Changze ordered his men to keep an eye on things, but this time, in addition to the people in the shadows, there was also someone in the open.
A few days later, the emperor's men will move into Lingyin Temple. If things change or if the abbot and his entourage make any unusual moves, Lingyin Temple will replace the monks, including the abbot.
As for Shang Le's funeral... Shang Changze turned the thumb ring, a symbol of the monarch's power and status, to consider the matter.
The Empress Dowager is in poor health and not fit for strenuous work, so a few imperial concubines would be more suitable.
"Someone come here."
After arranging who would handle Shang Le's funeral, Shang Changze began to attend to state affairs.
Thus, the farce came to an end.
And, Cining Palace.
The Empress Dowager was a strong-willed person. After returning to Cining Palace, she felt increasingly uncomfortable as she recalled the embarrassing situation her daughter had caused her.
Ze'er is the same. Ge'er is a princess, not a minister or official. Why do we have to consult with Ge'er on so many things?
no!
She could no longer allow Ze'er to rely on his older sister Ge'er like this; what kind of behavior would a monarch display!
Furthermore, if Ge'er were to become the one controlling power behind Ze'er, given Ge'er's repulsive personality,
Who knows what kind of chaos they'll cause in the court, or how much harm they'll inflict on Qingyan!
Shang Changge had no idea what her cheap mother was thinking, and even if she did, she would probably just roll her eyes and ignore her.
Inside a restaurant relatively close to the General's Mansion, Shang Changge was eating to satisfy her hunger.
Meanwhile, she was also waiting for the imperial physician she had dragged out of the palace to come and reply. If nothing unexpected happened, General Xiao would also come.
Shang Changge's guess was correct; she didn't have to wait long before Xiao Ji and the imperial physician arrived together.
Shang Changge first looked at Xiao Ji, then looked past Xiao Ji at the imperial physician, waved for him to dispense with formalities, and asked, "What are the diagnosis results?"
After the imperial physician expressed his gratitude, he said with delight, "Your Highness, the General's hidden injuries are almost completely healed. This old minister dares to say..."
Who was the most skilled physician to treat the General? Such exquisite medical expertise, achieved in such a short time…
Having gotten the answer she wanted, Shang Changge didn't want to listen to this highly skilled but talkative imperial physician babbling on and on, so she interrupted him:
"You don't need to know that. You've worked hard, go back now, Suzaku."
The imperial physician was eager to learn, but he also knew the princess's temperament to some extent, so he had no choice but to suppress his many questions and resentment as Zhuque led him back to the palace.
