Chapter 23: Abbot Lingxu
Prime Minister's Mansion.
Ling Yuwei has been lingering at the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion since Ling Yufei left. She was very worried and anxious, wanting to know the progress of the matter as soon as possible.
Seeing that the time until noon tomorrow was getting shorter and shorter, Ling Yuwei's heart became more and more painful. She was really afraid that she could not save Nangong Yi. She did not dare to think about such a cruel fact, and she simply could not accept it.
Her only hope now is Ling Yufei, so she has been waiting here for her to come back, and hopes that what she brings back will be good news.
"Weier, don't worry too much. We will definitely be able to rescue Yi." In fact, Yan Zimo was also worried, but he didn't show it because he was the eldest brother and he had to comfort Ling Yuwei, so he must not be confused.
"Cousin, don't worry, we will definitely not let anything happen to the third brother." Although Nangong Jin'er didn't know how to save Nangong Yi, she still tried her best to comfort Ling Yuwei.
"Yes, I know." Ling Yuwei looked forward anxiously and replied to Yan Zimo and Nangong Jin'er with a forced smile. She didn't want them to worry about her.
"Sister, I'm back." While Ling Yuwei was waiting anxiously, Ling Yufei's figure finally appeared in her field of vision.
"Fei'er, how's it going? Are you willing to help?" As soon as she saw Ling Yufei coming back, Ling Yuwei couldn't wait to ask, with strong expectations in her eyes.
"Sister, don't worry. Mother has already promised to help. I believe good news will come soon." Ling Yufei knew that Ling Yuwei must be worried about this matter, so she rushed back as quickly as possible.
"Really? That's great." Although this was only the first step to rescue Nangong Yi, Ling Yuwei was still very happy. At least it gave her hope. Now she has to think carefully about what to do next.
"Sister, my mother has done too many things to hurt you in the past. I am here to apologize to you on her behalf. I hope you can forgive her." Ling Yufei was very clear about what Shen Birou did to Ling Yuwei in the past, and she did not feel it before.
What a problem, but now that I think about it, I realize that everything is so excessive.
"I've already said, let the past things pass. I won't care about it, and don't take it to heart, sister." Ling Yuwei really didn't like Shen Birou in the past, especially after knowing that she was the one who poisoned Ling Yuwei and turned her into a fool.
But now she doesn't want to worry about anything anymore.
"Okay." After listening to Ling Yuwei's words, Ling Yufei smiled reassuringly. Before, she had been worried that Ling Yuwei would not forgive Shen Birou, but now it seems that she doesn't need to worry anymore.
Now Ling Yufei only hopes that Shen Birou can successfully convince Concubine Li, and then Concubine Li can make Nangong Ye change her mind, and they can successfully rescue Nangong Yi. In this way, Shen Birou has at least done one thing for Ling Yuwei, which can be regarded as making up for what she has done to her in the past.
of harm.
Royal Palace.
"Abbot Lingxu, please take a step to speak." Shen Birou was sent by Concubine Li to greet Abbot Lingxu of Lingyin Temple at the gate of the palace. Originally such a small thing should not be done by her, but in order to complete the thing she promised Ling Yufei, she took the initiative
I asked Concubine Li for this job.
"Aunt Shen, please speak." Because Concubine Li often took Shen Birou to Lingyin Temple to pray, Abbot Linxu recognized her at a glance, and because he knew her identity, he spoke very respectfully.
"Abbot Lingxu, the reputation of Lingyin Temple is so good, there must be a lot of people coming to pray every day, right?" Shen Birou did not directly explain her purpose of coming, but decided to test Abbot Lingxu first.
"My Buddha is compassionate and can save all sentient beings. There will definitely be many people praying for blessings." Abbot Lingxu didn't know what Shen Birou wanted to say. He thought she was praising Lingyin Temple, so he felt a little proud.
"Then the money for sesame oil every year will not be less, right?" Shen Birou smiled softly and asked in a low voice, observing Abbot Lingxu's reaction from the corner of his eye.
"Mother Shen doesn't know something. Although there are many people praying for blessings, the money for sesame oil is pitifully small." When the money for sesame oil was mentioned, Abbot Lingxu's expression became a little unnatural, but he soon returned to normal.
"I don't think they are pitifully small, but they are all hidden away by Abbot Lingxu, right?" Shen Birou suppressed her smile and said with a sudden change of expression.
"What does Aunt Shen mean by this? I only care about the temple, so how could I hide the money for sesame oil secretly?" In fact, Abbot Lingxu started to feel a little panicked, because everything Shen Birou said was true, but it was just on his surface. He still pretended to be very calm.
"Abbot Lingxu, there is a small house to the west of Lingyin Temple that has been locked for many years, and only you can enter and exit that house... Do you want me to continue?" At this point, Shen Birou paused deliberately. Come down.
"Stop talking, Sister Shen, what do you want to do?" When Abbot Lingxu heard Shen Birou mention that house, his expression changed drastically, because that house was where he used to hide his money. , but he couldn't figure out why Shen Birou knew about this.
"I don't want to do anything, I just want to ask Abbot Lingxu to do a small favor." Shen Birou knew very well that only after Abbot Lingxu knew that she had something to do with him, would he willingly help.
"As long as Aunt Shen doesn't tell others what happened just now, I can help you no matter what." Abbot Lingxu didn't want his reputation to be ruined, so he didn't dare to refuse Shen Birou's request.
"As long as Abbot Lingxu is willing to help, I guarantee that no third person will know about your hidden money." Shen Birou deliberately raised her voice, just to scare Abbot Lingxu.
"Mother Shen, stop talking. I have already said that I am willing to help no matter what." Abbot Lingxu looked around nervously, for fear that others would hear about this.
"Okay, then I hope Abbot Lingxu can keep his word." Shen Birou felt that it was almost done, so she did not continue to scare Abbot Lingxu.
"Then what kind of help does Aunt Shen want me to do?" Although Abbot Lingxu was a little dissatisfied, there was nothing he could do. After all, he didn't want to ruin his reputation, so he had no choice but to accept Shen Birou's threats.
"Actually, what I want you to do is very simple. When you go to pray for Concubine Li later, you must tell her that no killing will be allowed in the palace in the past few days, especially no killing. Otherwise, today's prayer will not be effective. ." Shen Birou thought about it and finally decided to let Abbot Lingxu tell Concubine Li this way.
