Chapter 663 The Picture of Buddha Feeding the Eagle Hanging on the Wall
There are countless large and small Buddha statues.
Most of the paintings and calligraphy hanging on the wall are Buddhist texts. The Buddhist beads placed on the table are polished smooth and shiny, and it looks like they are often played with in the palm of their hands.
Liu Wei wrapped it in a handkerchief and picked up the beads to look more carefully. Sure enough, she saw that each bead was engraved with runes.
Liu Wei didn't understand the art of metaphysics, but looking at this rune, the dragons and phoenixes were dancing, but it was different from the peace charms and house-holding charms that Liu Wei saw in every household.
This thing was probably Princess Yuping's personal belongings. Liu Wei took out a small bag and put it in, and would do some research after taking it back.
There are not many things in the main hall, but they all convey the meaning of gods and Buddhas.
Liu Wei went to take a look and saw that the remaining incense burned in the incense burner was also the sandalwood in front of the Buddha.
"Go to the dormitory and have a look." Liu Wei turned around and said after seeing almost everything here.
But as soon as he left the main hall door, he heard voices coming from the door.
"Slow down, okay, what are you bringing me here for?"
It was a woman's voice. Liu Wei suppressed it, pulled Rong Leng, and the two of them hid back in the hall.
Outside, footsteps were getting closer and closer, and voices were heard again.
The person who answered this time was also a woman: "Of course I'm here to worship. The princess is our master after all. Even if you and I leave, we should come back to perform our last acts of kindness. I brought a gold ingot candle here. Let's go to the patio." Festival..."
"I won't go." Another woman interrupted impatiently: "People are dead, why are you doing this? Besides, this place is a ghost palace. You dragged me here in the middle of the night. Is that right?" Are you deliberately trying to get into trouble with me? I'm leaving. I have to serve Princess Qinyang tomorrow morning. Princess Yuping didn't treat us very well in the past. If she dies, she will die. What does it have to do with us."
"Xian'er, how can you say that? The princess treated us well during her lifetime! Do you remember that your father wanted to sell your sister to a brothel, but the princess knew about it and gave you thirty taels of silver to let you Your sister was redeemed, and in the end, you personally made the decision to marry your sister to her childhood sweetheart, so that the two of them could live together and be together for a hundred years. The princess treated you with the utmost benevolence, but you treated her like this after she passed away. You are like this …Do you still have a conscience?”
The woman was obviously furious when she spoke, and her voice was trembling a little in the last two sentences.
But the woman named Xiang'er didn't appreciate it, and just sneered: "It's okay if you don't say this, but I will get angry when you say this! Do you know what a miserable life my sister lived after she got married to that man? That man is not a good guy. He has been having sex with a brothel every day behind my sister's back. Recently, he even brought a young official home, which made my sister almost lose her virginity after three months of pregnancy!"
"This...I don't know this..." The woman who spoke was stunned for a moment, a little scared.
Na Xiang'er's face was full of resentment because her pain points were revealed: "In the final analysis, it's all the fault of the princess. If it weren't for the princess's meddling, my sister wouldn't have married that man, and she wouldn't be like this! I think the princess is I have been a jade girl in front of the Buddha for a long time, and I really think that I am a living Bodhisattva who saves the suffering. Qin'er, that is you, look at now, when we served the princess together, who else is thinking about her? Aren't we all looking forward to getting rid of her as soon as possible? In the haze, so that we can find a good job elsewhere? You and I are lucky enough to go to Princess Qinyang. This is a great opportunity. If you are still seeking death like this and come to this ghost place in the middle of the night, let If the people in Princess Qinyang’s palace see this, we will all die.”
Although Qin'er also knew this, she still couldn't let it go, and finally said dullly: "Actually, it was your sister who begged the princess to make the decision, and the princess gave her the marriage. The princess asked her beforehand, and it was your sister who insisted on marrying her. , the princess just gave the order, it was not the princess’s own initiative, even if your sister is unfortunate after her marriage, she shouldn’t..."
"That's enough!" Xiang'er was angry: "I'm not your sister. If it were your relative, how could you still say such sarcastic words?"
"I..." Na Qin'er obviously wanted to explain, but Xiang'er said nothing, turned around and left directly.
The Qin'er called out twice: "Xiang'er, Xiang'er..."
But no one responded, and he had obviously gone away.
Liu Wei was leaning at the window and frowned slightly when she heard this.
Liu Wei turned around and saw that Rong Leng also had a bad expression. The two of them might have thought of the same thing and were both deep in thought.
Qin'er was alone outside. In the end, she didn't leave, but went to the backyard patio alone.
As soon as Qin'er left, Liu Wei and Rong Leng followed.
On the roof, the two of them quietly looked at the little palace maid who was on fire below. Occasionally, they could hear this person talking to herself.
"Princess, I have come to see you. I heard that people who have a relationship with Buddha during their lifetime will not go to hell after death, but go to heaven. Princess, you have seen the Daluo gods, and you have seen the people you have served for half your life. Buddha?"
Qin'er rambled on, talking about trivial things. At the end, she mentioned: "Princess, don't blame Xiang'er. Xiang'er is just an ordinary person. Different from you, you are about to become a mature person." My dear fairy, your knowledge and courage are second to none, don’t worry, I will definitely let Xiang’er come to worship you next time, I will definitely let Xiang’er come!”
When he said this, his tone became much harder, like he was swearing.
Liu Wei raised his eyebrows as he listened. He always felt something flashing across his eyes, but when he came back to his senses, he couldn't catch anything. It was as if the blissful mind at that moment was just an illusion.
Qin'er paid all the tributes and left.
The Puxiang Palace was once again silent and lifeless.
Liu Wei got off the beam and went directly into Princess Yuping's bedroom. She asked Rong Leng: "It seems that your sister is not very popular."
According to what Qin'er and Xiang'er said, except for Qin'er, many people including Xiang'er were not very loyal to Princess Yuping.
Perhaps, there is still a lot of resentment.
In a palace, there are countless maids and eunuchs. If only a few people are resentful, it may be okay, but if most people are like this, then there are many things to consider.
First, we must consider the possibility of being bribed.
Princess Yuping was killed and disappeared from the palace without a word. Maybe there are these people who are cooperating inside and outside.
Perhaps, we can recall all these old people from Puxiang Palace and ask them one by one.
But Liu Weirongleng is now hiding his identity and is conducting a secret investigation. It is obviously unrealistic to call so many people for interrogation.
It seems that we have to think of other ways.
Liu Wei thought so in his heart, and then began to recall the discomfort that Qin'er felt when he was in the courtyard. What did Liu Wei ignore at that time?
Rong Leng saw Liu Wei frowning and was about to speak, but suddenly his eyes turned and looked at the picture of Buddha feeding the eagle hanging on the wall in the dormitory, and his eyes froze.
