Chapter 1144 The Empress Went to the Emperor to Sue the Emperor
Ruoyin took Banmei under a sycamore tree.
The two waited and waited until noon, but no one came back.
"Master, it's time for lunch. Let's go back and eat lunch first, then come back? Otherwise, you can go back first, and the servant is waiting here." Banmei suggested.
"No, no matter what, I have to wait for today." Ruoyin stood in the shade, his eyes and tone extremely firm.
Even after standing all morning, her back was straight.
Finally, Huangtian pays off.
After waiting for a cup of tea, there was movement in the yard.
But it wasn't the movement outside the yard, but the door of the hall opened with a "creak".
Ruoyin and Rushuang looked at each other, and there was a little anger in their eyes.
Because they have been asking if there is anyone in the yard since they arrived in the yard.
Later, he kept knocking on the door of the hall, but no one responded.
Now that the door is open, it means that there are people inside, and they heard their knocking on the door, but they just ignore them on purpose.
After all, the sound of their knocking on the door was not low, so it was impossible not to hear them.
Just as Ruoyin was thinking about it, a person came out of the room. It was the monk who received Ruoyin that day.
He was still wearing the red robe unique to lamas.
Seeing this, Ruoyin stepped forward with Banmei.
After the monk opened the door, when he saw Ruoyin and Banmei, his eyes remained calm, but he clasped his hands together and saluted very calmly, "Empress."
The other party saluted, and Ruoyin also saluted back.
Then, she pointed inside and asked, "Have you been inside all this time?"
"yes."
"Then we've been knocking on the door for so long, why don't you answer or open the door." Banmei looked up and down at the monk in front of her.
The monk smiled slightly and said, "I'm really sorry. I was meditating in the backyard just now. I was probably too fascinated, so I didn't hear any knocking on the door. I'm sorry if I kept you waiting for so long."
When he spoke, he bent down and made an apologetic salute.
Ruoyin looked at the monk in front of him with slightly suspicious eyes.
She doesn't know much about the daily routine and rules of these monks.
I only know that they meditate just like sleeping and resting.
So, she didn't think much about it, and just meditated like a monk in front of her, like ordinary people who sleep more deeply, and can't hear the interference from the outside world.
Moreover, she can't get out, and others can't get in. In this temple, it seems that she doesn't know anyone except this person.
So negotiating with this person is the most direct way at present.
She held her lips and said: "There is an unknown layer of white flowers floating in the well in the courtyard of the palace, which caused my servants to have red spots and rashes on their feet after touching the water in the well, so I suspect that those flowers are poisonous. I want to ask, can you provide a place for us to fetch clean water?"
"Ma'am, have you tried that well water?" The monk glanced at Ruoyin's face.
"No."
"Since not, then why are you sure that flowers can be so poisonous? Besides, you don't know it, so how can you conclude that it is poisonous? Maybe your servant ate something unclean, or was bitten by a small poisonous animal Not necessarily after a while." The monk said in disbelief.
"Bengong has already said that my servant has injured his feet because of the white flowers soaked in the well water. Don't you think I was injured too, so you believe it?" Ruoyin raised his head and looked at the monk.
The monk smiled apologetically, "Sorry ma'am, I didn't mean that, it's just the first time I've heard that flowers are so poisonous."
"So, can you provide us with a well with clean water first?" Ruoyin asked.
"Sorry ma'am, I'm just a Zen master in the Taimiao, and I don't have the right to manage these things. And, if I remember correctly, you are currently in the lockdown period. If you have nothing else to do, except for receiving meals, it is best not to be in the Taimiao. Walk around."
When the monk spoke, his hands were clasped all the time, his head was slightly lowered, and he looked respectful.
And from the beginning to the end, his voice was calm and there was nothing wrong with it.
But Ruoyin still heard a problem.
He has been avoiding her questions, and his attitude is very different from the first time they met.
And what he said just now obviously didn't want to help her, and wanted her to continue using poisonous well water.
"Can't you hear my mother's words? We have already said that there is a problem with the well water in the yard. You are still talking here and there. Don't you understand that someone is going to kill my mother? Let me tell you, if your mother has What are the long and short, you are not easy to explain to the emperor, he will definitely not let you go."
For this villain, Banmei's attitude is naturally not much better.
Ruoyin tugged on Banmei's sleeve, and his eyes fell on the monk.
In the beginning, she probably thought this monk was a good person.
Including when he just said that he didn't hear the knock on the door when he was meditating, she was only slightly suspicious.
So now, she completely believes that this monk must have been bribed.
Otherwise, the attitude will be a complete 180-degree change from the first day I came here.
She held her lips and said, "Since you don't want to help, then tell me, who is your Khenpo, or who is the chief manager here?"
"Our chief manager here is Khenpo, but Khenpo is practicing in seclusion recently, and outsiders should not disturb him." After the monk finished speaking, he raised his head.
The moment he looked up, he smiled at Ruoyin.
It was a smug and sinister smile.
It makes people shudder and get goosebumps in this midsummer.
"If you say you are retreating, will I believe you?" Banmei said in an authentic manner.
"If you don't believe me, you can just ask any monk in the temple." The monk didn't seem to care.
Seeing this, Ruoyin's eyes turned slightly.
The Khenpo here is equivalent to the abbot in the Han temple.
Judging by the way this monk is determined to win, it is estimated that Khenpo, who is in charge, is really retreating.
She swept around the yard and said calmly, "Even if Khenpo is in seclusion, but this temple is so big, it's impossible that there is no one to take care of it?"
"Yes, it's just me and another Zen master. It's just that he devotes himself to studying Buddhism, and he devotes himself to practicing except eating, drinking and lazing every day. Therefore, during Khenpo's retreat, I basically manage all the big and small things in the Taimiao." The monk said. laughed.
For some reason, Ruoyin felt sick when he saw him smiling.
He just said that he has no right to control these things.
Now it is said that he is an agent in charge.
Especially those words he said are undoubtedly flaunting that he is currently the steward of the Taimiao.
No one can help her except him.
And he didn't want to help her either.
Could it be that she really has nothing to do?
Ruoyin pursed her lips, and asked in a deep voice, "What's your dharma name?"
"In the words of the empress, my dharma name is Hui Xing."
"Okay, Huixing, right? You just wait for the emperor to deal with you." Banmei spoke for her master.
Probably because the cards were spread, Huixing no longer bowed his head, but straightened his back, and said: "Huixing welcomes the empress to go to the emperor to complain, but before that, I hope you can wait until the emperor comes back." One day."
When he spoke, he kept smiling slightly, gloomy.
