Chapter 481 What will it be this time?
The imperial physician repeatedly failed to treat the disease, saying that the empress dowager was heart disease.
The emperor heard that someone was in trouble in the harem and sent people to guard the Queen Mother's bedroom all night long. However, he never heard any sound or saw any white-clothed ghosts.
But the Queen Mother was a little confused when she was sick, and she insisted that the crying sounded tangled and she couldn't stop.
The emperor had to visit the Empress Dowager once or twice a day. He You also visited him once. Seeing that the Empress Dowager was thin and haggard, she was often confused and confused.
He You said, "Emperor, if the Empress Dowager is not cured of his heart, he will probably not be able to get better."
The empress dowager's heart was Concubine Qi. The emperor said angrily: "Does I want Concubine Qi to be resurrected? Concubine Qi is not aware of her wife's deeds and becomes a traitor. She is not a pity to die!"
He You said: "What I mean is that it is better to invite the monks in the temple to come to the palace and do a ritual for Concubine Qi to expel the soul and filth, so as to make the Queen Mother feel at ease."
The emperor looked at He You: "What kind of ghost power do you believe in?"
He You said: "I am just asking the Queen Mother to be at peace. If the monk says that the harem is safe and sound, the Queen Mother should always believe that once the heart disease is cured, her body will naturally be improved. Now the Chinese New Year is about to be celebrated, and it can also calm the panic in the harem."
When the emperor thought, He You's words were not unreasonable.
Just as the Empress Dowager woke up quietly, she heard He You's words and said in a weak way: "He was right, and immediately find someone to do a ritual to save Concubine Qi's soul... Otherwise, she would cry every night, and the Ai family would not be at ease. Concubine Qi, the Ai family treats her very well on weekdays, so why did she hold on to the Ai family after her death..."
He You said: "The Queen Mother must not think too much. It may be that Concubine Qi's ghost is thinking about the Queen Mother's goodness, so she is reluctant to leave."
After He You comforted this, the Empress Dowager's expression became a little relaxed.
The emperor gave He You the task of exorcising evil spirits to the harem.
There is a Huguo Temple in Dachu, located on Lushan Mountain outside the imperial city. However, the emperor has not believed in Buddhism since he ascended the throne, and this Huguo Temple has been neglected to this day.
I heard of a great monk in the temple. The temple has been passed through all dynasties and gathers the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and is also very ancient. The people at the foot of the mountain occasionally go up the mountain to pray for blessings, and donate thin money for incense and oil to the temple based on their own abilities.
This time, He You dressed in the official uniform of the Minister of Rites and took several palace servants to Lushan to personally invite the monks to go down the mountain to enter the palace, perform rituals to exorcise evil spirits, and pray for the Empress Dowager.
Concubine Qi's death was because of an affair with others, which was not a glorious thing; therefore, according to the palace servants who came back to report to the emperor that when He You asked the monk to go down the mountain, he did not say it clearly, nor did he mention Concubine Qi's status and interpersonal relationships in the harem.
The emperor did not believe in Buddhism, so he had a skeptical attitude towards Buddhism. It was said that he was a monk who had attained enlightenment, so he wanted to see how he had attained enlightenment.
On this day, the eminent monk held a staff and a cassock to attack his body. He brought several monks from the temple into the palace. The empress dowager came out to greet him in person when she was sick.
The monk recited scriptures and drove away evil spirits in the empress dowager's harem, and then went to the palace of Concubine Qi to perform a ritual to save the dead souls.
The monk said: "Amitabha, the reason why the empress dowager is plagued by demons is because the deceased still has a wish and cannot let go of people who still care about them in the world."
The empress dowager thought to herself, that's not the case. Concubine Qi left the fifth prince and left, how could she feel at ease?
Then the monk asked to walk the place where Concubine Qi went during her lifetime. On the way, a yellow talisman was occasionally scattered. Several monks behind him kept chanting scriptures, and Sanskrit was chanted from their mouths, which seemed sacred.
I don’t know if it’s a psychological effect, but after listening to them, the Queen Mother felt much more at ease.
The monk also said: "Where I go, wherever I go, the talisman paper drifts to, is where I go. I will return. Only after seven days can the talisman paper be cleaned."
The queen accompanied the queen mother and wandered around the harem with these monks. Before, Concubine Qi had been to the residences of the concubines, and the concubines wanted to bring the monks in to do something.
The queen was always a little doubtful and said, "If there were really dead souls in this palace, why didn't the palace hear cries, and the emperor had never seen any ghosts? Can you ask the holy monk to explain it?"
The monk said: "The emperor is a dragon, and the queen is a phoenix. If there is auspicious energy of dragon and phoenix, please do not approach the little ghosts."
The Queen Mother believed in this.
When he finally passed by Taihe Palace, the monk saw the crocodiles in the water, stopped for a moment, shook his head and sighed.
The Queen Mother asked why she sighed.
The monks and Taoists eat crocodiles and show their evil appearances, which are evil things. Now they are obedient and obedient, so there must be even more evil things to control.
The queen mother was stunned and asked, "What does the holy monk mean?"
At that time, Chen Xian was walking in front of Taihe Palace with her calves. She had known that an old monk came to the palace and said that she wanted to do rituals for Concubine Qi. Now that she heard the old monk say this opposite, Chen Xian sang: "Old monk, what are you talking about? Who is the evil thing?"
The monk stood on the other side and said, "Amitabha, the donor's evil spirit is too strong. I still advised the donor to be calm. If he could recite scriptures and chant Buddha's name, he would be a merit for the undead."
Chen Xian said bluntly: "A scammer, full of nonsense!"
The monk did not point it out, but only shook his head and said, "All things are mutually generated and restrained, and there is their own cause and effect."
The Queen Mother was confused when she heard it, as if she had grasped some key points, but she was still confused.
Chen Xian ignored it, held his calves and entered the house. After a while, Xiaohe came to her and said, "The palace has been haunted recently. I heard that the Empress Dowager's place is particularly powerful, so I invited a Taoist monk to come in to exorcise evil spirits."
Chen Xian sneered and said, "Don't do anything bad, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. Isn't the Empress Dowager and Concubine Qi very good? Why did Concubine Qi's ghost go to bother her? Concubine Qi is looking for it, so she should come to me first."
As soon as Chen Xian finished speaking, he thought of something and raised his eyebrows coldly.
Yes, if there is a saying of ghosts and gods, Concubine Qi should come to find her first. As a result, she went to find the Queen Mother first, and there must be something strange about it.
Today, the monk said that thing opposite Taihe Palace was really thought-provoking and misunderstood. I was afraid that the spearhead would soon point directly to Taihe Palace again.
Chen Xian asked Xiaohe: "Who invited this old monk back?" As long as you know who invited it, you can guess the other party's purpose.
Xiaohe said: "I heard that the ministers around the emperor gave the advice for the emperor."
Chen Xian was stunned, and it was He You again.
Xiaohe said again: "The Empress Dowager was so scared that she was confused and had no choice but to make such a bad decision. The monk was invited from Huguo Temple, which is a century-old temple outside the mountain. Today, the empress dowager's spirit should have improved a lot." Seeing Chen Xian stunned, she asked, "Princess, what's wrong with you?"
Chen Xian said: "Nothing happens."
