Vol 2 Chapter 1075: Funeral

Dragoon Qiwei cleared the way, and the convoy headed towards the Xiangguo Temple outside the city.
Pedestrians and horses evaded one after another on the road.
The largest and most luxurious special four-wheeled carriage, the Queen Mother sits on it, half-squinting her eyes.
She did not hide her whereabouts and traveled low-key.
But there was no ceremonial battle.
Not really high-profile.
Duanjun Wang Liu Yi accompanied the Queen Mother.
"The queen mother wants to see Master Wuwang, so why bother to go to Xiangguo Temple in person. Wouldn't it be convenient for the bald donkey to enter the palace and teach the Fa."
Liu Yi knew everything about Wuwang and Huyang.
So, don't worry about how the outsiders brag about hopelessness. In Liu Yi's mind, Wuwang is a monk of wine and meat.
Calling him a bald donkey is already extremely polite.
Queen Mother Pei opened her eyes slightly and glanced at Liu Yi, "You don't understand."
"It's because my son doesn't understand that I have to ask my mother."
Since Liu Yi walked out of the palace and began to serve as a real lacker in the court, his whole spirit has recovered. They looked two or three years younger.
Xiao Qin'er no longer quarreled with him over money.
He is the emperor's brother after all.
Even if they have been idle for many years, once they return to the court, it will send a signal to everyone: Duanjun and His Majesty have reconciled as before.
When the signal is released, there are plenty of opportunities and a lot of money is made.
The shadow of the famous tree.
Before Liu Yi lived idle and worked as an otaku for several years, everyone was scared!
Fearing that dealing with him would offend and anger the emperor.
At that time, everyone was unwilling to have too much involvement and contact with Duan's Palace. Xiao Qin'er naturally had a lot fewer ways to find money.
Now that the rain has passed and the weather has cleared, all the haze and suffering have disappeared.
Liu Yi also had free time, and he had the mind to do his filial piety with the Queen Mother.
Empress Dowager Pei said softly: "My palace personally went to Xiangguo Temple to pay homage to the Buddha, and she was pious. Please Master Wuwang to the palace to pay homage to the Buddha, and the Buddha will be unhappy."
"Does the mother really believe in Buddhism?" Liu Yi, who is a pro-son, naturally dared to ask boldly.
Empress Dowager Pei laughed, "Is it important to believe in Buddhism?"
Liu Yi thought carefully, yes, it really doesn't matter at all.
What matters is what is done and how to do it.
After leaving the gate, the carriage speeded up.
At the gate of the mountain, get off the carriage and take a soft sedan up the mountain.
In order to welcome the arrival of the Queen Mother, Xiangguo Temple deliberately closed the gate to ensure safety.
Hosted by Xiangguo Temple, he personally greeted him at the entrance of the main hall, invited the Queen Mother to the quiet room of the back mountain, where the hopeless master cleaned up, and then led the monks to leave.
In the quiet room, Empress Dowager Pei swung back all the palace people, and ordered Liu Yi to wait outside.
Liu Yi hesitated for a moment, "If the queen mother has the need, it will be done with one order, and the son will be outside."
"My palace just wants to chat with Wuwang alone."
Liu Yi finally exited the quiet room and closed the door.
The light in the room is dim.
Hopeless holding the prayer beads, reciting the scriptures silently.
The Queen Mother gave a light cough to remind the other party.
Master Hopeless raised his head slightly, and looked at Queen Mother Pei, "Amitabha! Don't come here without problems!"
"It's really rare, you still remember this palace." Empress Dowager Pei had a bad tone.
Hopeless, his face is calm, and he looks like an eminent monk.
This is a declarative sentence.
If the other party needs to chant sutras for blessings, this is not the attitude.
Queen Mother Pei sat on the floor.
She has become accustomed to collapse, sitting on the ground, making her knees, thighs and calves feel uncomfortable all over her body.
But she could bear it.
She bluntly said, "You have been back for a few days, but have you ever visited Huyang?"
Hopelessly, stay unmoved and read the scriptures silently.
Empress Dowager Pei smiled coldly and scolded: "Huyang died because of you, so you don't have the slightest guilt? Buddhism said to save all living beings and be compassionate. What about your compassionate heart? Someone died for you, why do you have a face to sit on? Pretend to be a monk here?"
Hopeless raised her head slightly, her skinny cheeks were slightly miserable, "Is the empress dowager seeking justice for Princess Huyang?"
"My palace wants to know that Huyang died because of you, what can you say? Although the world is not tolerant between you, Huyang treats you sincerely and has not changed for decades. Do you know that Huyang did How precious is the sincerity of the people?" Queen Mother Pei sternly complained.
"Poor monk knows."
"Then, do you know that Huyang chose to go on a hunger strike in order to see you. She was in good health, but because the hunger strike damaged her body, she died early. The palace said you killed Huyang. , Is this correct!"
Empress Dowager Pei is aggressive and tough.
Wuwang always had a calm face, only his brows twitched slightly.
He whispered: "The masculine in the lake is extreme, and it is not advisable to take a hunger strike."
Empress Dowager Pei was angrily, "People are dead, what is the meaning of saying something is not advisable. You bald donkey, really hard-hearted. Based on what you do, what qualifications do you have to be a high monk? According to this palace, you It's a slanderous monk."
Facing such humiliation, Hopeless did not get angry.
"A high monk or not, it's a false name. The empress dowager really surprised the poor monks for fighting Huyang. At the same time, she was happy for Huyang. Someone cares about her."
The Queen Mother sneered, "Are you thinking that this palace has always been at odds with Huyang, and there are often disputes. She died, and she ended her life in such an extreme way, this palace will only gloat for misfortune?"
Hopeless shook his head slightly, "The poor monk didn't think about anything."
The Queen Mother sneered, "Put away your hypocrisy! Others treat you as a high monk, and your palace treats you as a beast, a murderer. This palace is a human being, a person with joy, anger, sorrow, and joy. This palace is not like you with a stone heart, a lake. Why did Yang hunger strike? Isn’t it just to see you. About you, knowing that the masculine life of the lake is at stake, but you refuse to go back to Beijing to see her for the last time, so that she will die. You are so cruel!
I am afraid that you have longed for Huyang to die. After all, she is alive for a day, and there is a fatal threat to your reputation as a monk. You men are all the same, selfish, everything can be sacrificed for reputation and rights. "
Hopeless silence is like a default, more like a demonstration.
Empress Dowager Pei was very angry, "Hopeless, do you have nothing to say to this palace?"
Hopelessly looked at the Queen Mother Pei, "Say or not, is there any difference from the Queen Mother? The Queen Mother has already convicted the poor monk. Whatever the poor monk says, it is like a kind of sophistry."
The Queen Mother sneered, "My palace asks you, are you happy when Huyang passed away?"
Hopeless frowned slightly, and the two talked for a long time. This was the first time Wuwang made such an obvious expression.
He was obviously unhappy, but he still maintained a calm tone and said: "Birth, old age, sickness and death are all suffering, so how can we be happy."
Empress Dowager Pei asked again: "Huyang's affection for you, in order to see you, even if you don't hesitate to go on a hunger strike, you have no idea?"
Hopelessly lowered her head and said, "The various things between the poor monk and the Huyang princess are in the past. Many years ago, the poor monk had already explained everything clearly to the Huyang princess, and she agreed. But she did not expect that she There will be obsessions in my heart."
"She is a human, of course she has obsessions. Before she died, the only person she was worried about was you. And you, the eminent monk in people's mouth, killed her. This palace is the last person in the world who can talk. , Killed by you."
Empress Dowager Pei was furious, if her identity had not restricted her, she really wanted to kill her with a stick.
Hopeless doesn't seem to understand the excitement of the Queen Mother.
Empress Dowager Pei became more and more angry.
"The palace used to be very satisfying. The husband is the emperor and the son is the emperor. The palace is the most noble woman in the world. Although Huyang is not good at speaking, he is the only one who dares to speak the truth in front of the palace and is willing to talk to the palace. Truth-speaker. My palace talks about dislike her, but in fact, it is very rare for her to enter the palace to speak with the palace."
"Even if she refuses to enter the palace, as long as she knows that she lives in the princess mansion, this palace will find this life interesting. Especially when she tossed out a new famous hall or raised a few new faces , I can eat one more bowl of rice."
"This kind of day could have been a long time, until the day the palace dies. It is because of you, because you, a bald donkey, that confuses Huyang, Huyang will stupidly go on a hunger strike, just to let you return. I saw her in Jingcheng. She was so old, no matter how old she could stand the ravages of a hunger strike, her body quickly collapsed. But even if she died, she could not get what she wanted."
"Hopeless, you are the enemy of this palace and the culprit who killed Huyang. This palace asked your majesty to call you back. Obviously you have guessed that it is not for chanting and praying. It is for you to bury Huyang."
"You must be buried with Huyang! You won't die for a day, and the palace will be uneasy for a day. If you won't die for a day, Huyang won't be liberated."
