Chapter 8 Chapter 8 Killing the Monk

Chinese New Year is a big event, whether it is for a noble family or a poor family, no matter how difficult it is, the New Year will always be passed. However, this year was really sad for Shen Wan, because she met Kuzhu, the monk from Shuanglin Temple.He had helped her and threatened her; she had yielded to him and used him. After all, he was her first man. From the age of twelve to today, for seven years, she has cherished her feathers in the brothel, and has always kept her body for Mr. Nalan, like a lily holding its own flower core, waiting for his call to open at any time. It might be easy for ordinary girls, but she is different. She is a red card singing girl in Qingyin Pavilion, and she has to receive different men every night.For so many years, so many years, I have been waiting and persisting. For seven years, it is only two words, but for the years, it is real, day after day, more than two thousand days and nights.

How hard it was to see him again. The reunion in Lushuiting was the sum of all the waiting in her life, and the subsequent separation was an eternal parting and loss.He was like a towering tower reaching into the clouds. She exhausted her entire life's strength to climb up the steps step by step, shedding blood and tears along the way, without any complaints, but she jumped off at the window closest to the top of the tower. ——If you can really smash your body to pieces and paint your brains on the ground, it might not be a kind of joy. But can't. She was still alive, but how empty, hopeless.

From Qingyin Pavilion to Shuanglin Temple, did she dedicate her life to him, or in other words, lost her body—to Monk Kuzhu.Otherwise, how to keep her secret of guarding Nalan's spirit? She lives in the solemn and solemn Shuanglin Temple, but she is more like a prostitute than in Qingyin Pavilion, selling meat against her will, and sharing her love with her.When the bitter bamboo was grabbing hungrily from her body, she said to herself: This is just a homework, just like practicing singing and dancing in Qingyin Pavilion, it is for Mr. Nalan. Everything is for Mr. Nalan. Later, she became pregnant, without telling anyone, she left Shuanglin Temple and went to Mingzhu Mansion.If the Ming government refuses to take her in, she probably really has only one dead end left.A prostitute who escaped from Qingyin Pavilion, an unmarried girl who is pregnant with a monk's illegitimate child, where can she go?

Fortunately, Mingzhu kept her.She thought, this is the son's blessing.The young master knew everything she had done for him, and had been taking care of her silently. Everyone in the Ming House had long accepted the existence of this "Miss Shen", or "Aunt Shen", and she gradually believed that she was indeed Nalan's posthumous child.Because she only has him in her heart, and her life is just for him.If it wasn't for him, she would rather die at the age of twelve, crying and dying when she was dragged by the turtle slave through the corridor of Qingyin Pavilion.

Since she is not dead, she will live for him and bear children for him. She talks to him in the portrait every day, reads poems and words to him, repeats the game he used to play with Lu Shi, and even spills tea on herself deliberately, imagining that "the book will disappear and the tea will be splashed." Fragrance" situation.She talked about Mr. Nalan with everyone in the garden who could talk to him. After his death, she was closer to him than when he was alive. Those were all fabricated by her, but no one would doubt her, so she believed it herself. She lived in the memories she wove, gradually unable to distinguish between true and false.However, the appearance of bitter bamboo reminded her that the ones in her belly were not the sons and daughters of the son.She and the young master have never really been in harmony with each other.In this world, as long as there is Kuzhu, the child's secret will not be kept, and the son's story will become nothing.Bitter bamboo and son, only one can be true.

Kuzhu came to the mansion together with the abbot of Shuanglin Temple to send offerings for the lamp oil money. He used to know Lao Wang who was in charge of the kitchen in the mansion. When the abbot went to see Mingzhu in the study, Kuzhu went to the kitchen to talk to Lao Wang.Because Lao Wang casually mentioned that there was a new lady Shen in the mansion, Kuzhu took his heart, and found out that Shen Wan lived alone in the West Garden. others. As the saying goes, "sex and courage are overwhelming", since Shen Wan disappeared, that bitter bamboo has been thinking hard all day long, and his heart is full of Shen Wan's charming and charming appearance, suffering like being in a purgatory oil pan.During the day, facing Guanshiyin Bodhisattva, chanting a thousand times and ten thousand times is not a Buddha, but when can I see the lovely person in the dream again.Now it's so easy to get news, I just feel sorry for the heavens, how can I care about the majesty of the king's law, and the boundless Buddha's law.Rubbing his hands and jumping around until night, when the abbot fell asleep, he tiptoed out of the guest room alone, sneaked up to the west wall, put up a ladder, climbed over the wall, and went to Tongzhi hall to look for Shen Wan.

Shen Wan was flipping through the young master's poems under the lamp, "Side Hat" and "Drinking Water", each poem is so sad and meaningful.She has already read these words by heart, but sitting in Tongzhi Hall and looking at the young master's ink manuscript, she feels so different.It's like staying by the young master's side, watching him waving his hair, listening to him singing, and adding fragrance to his red sleeves all the way. Suddenly there was a "knock" sound on the door of the room. At first, I thought I heard it wrong, or it was blown by the wind, but then I heard a few "thumping" on the window, and a voice said with a smile: "Shen Girl, it's me."

Although she lowered her throat and said what she heard, it sounded like a thunderbolt to Shen Wan's ears, as if something exploded suddenly, and it was bloody. She turned her head sharply and stared at the portrait of the young master, as if she wanted to ask for help.How to do it?The monk kept tapping on the window lattice outside the window to urge him, if the maid who slept next door heard him, what should he do? Shen Wan pressed her thumping chest with one hand, and pulled the latch hesitantly with the other.Kuzhu came in early, smiled and said: "Miss Shen, you miss me so much." Suddenly seeing her belly, she couldn't help being stunned.

Shen Wan turned around and closed the door, with ten thousand thoughts swirling in her mind, but it was empty and clueless.Turning his head, he met the familiar straight eyes, and felt a chill down his back, and all the stories of Shuanglin Temple were immediately turned upside down.The things she wanted to forget, to erase, were more horrible and dirtier than her whore life.She stroked her stomach lightly, then suddenly turned her eyes and smiled at him, just like she smiled at him in the mourning hall leaning on the son's coffin, there was a kind of desperate witchy charm in the mournful, as if to say: I'm afraid of you, what do you want? So be it.

In front of such a smile, a man has the pleasure of conquering, so there is no doubt about him.The light shone obliquely, dragging her shadow very long, and it was reflected on the paper window with twists and turns.As soon as she moved, the shadow also moved, and the movement was much larger than her own, as if to dance. Ku Zhu felt his throat was tight and dry, and his voice became hoarse. He said with difficulty, "I've been looking for you." "I'm pregnant, so I can't live in the temple." Shen Wan said plainly, turned around and poured two glasses of wine, then took a pill from the box and took it for herself.She spoke so frankly, so innocently, and behaved so frankly and tenderly, that one could not but believe it.

It seemed that there was a wind blowing in, making the candlelight slant all the way, and the shadow on the paper window jumped eastward, westward, left and right following her movements.Her person is so relaxed and calm, but her shadow is full of unease and throbbing. Hearing her frankness, Kuzhu decided to forgive her and believe her, although she hadn't figured out the direct relationship between her pregnancy and her disappearance, as if she had already got a satisfactory answer.He asked: "The child is mine? Why did you come to live in the prime minister's mansion? What kind of medicine did you take?" While talking, he had already taken off his clothes twice, and came over to take off Shen Wan's clothes . Shen Wan hurriedly dodged her body lightly, but sent a resentful smile on her face, and ambiguously confused the question by the way, and said: "What's the hurry? This is a tonic, the secret recipe of Xiangfu, called Xiangfuzi, It is said to be the most beneficial to the body. You can also take one." He said and stretched his hand forward. Shen Bi's pill was held in her white hand, looking like a painting, the monk took it together with the medicine and his hand in a daze, and was about to kiss it.Shen Wan smiled again, and pulled out her hand, but she did not refuse, but picked up the wine glass and handed it over again, the wine rippled slightly, and her eyes rippled like spring water, and said softly: "After eating this It will be more enjoyable with a glass of wine." The monk was already drunk before drinking, besides, he saw Shen Wan take a pill first, so he couldn't think of anything else, so he took the cup involuntarily, swallowed the pill with a "gulu", and drank the wine in one gulp, grinning and said: "We It can be counted..." He didn't finish his words, a streak of blood suddenly appeared from the corner of his mouth, his eyes widened, as if he didn't understand something, he just straightened up and fell backwards, when he fell to the ground, his eyes were still wide open Big. The world is silent. Shen Wan stood leaning on the table, dripping with cold sweat, and only then did she realize her panic.When she handed Ku Zhu the imperial bestowed elixir stolen from the hall, she almost didn't hesitate at all.It was as if that idea had always been hidden in her mind, and she thought of it the first time she saw the bitter bamboo, and then followed it logically. It wasn't until the bitter bamboo really died from the poison that she finally woke up and knew clearly: it was poison.She poisoned the monk.A monk was poisoned to death in her house.The pills are from Emperor Kangxi.It is the medicine given by the emperor to the son. That green pill.That was a pill of poison!It was the emperor who poisoned the son to death! She finally confirmed her initial guess. Really, it was the emperor who poisoned the son to death! She had to communicate the secret with someone, and the bitter bamboo monk in her room had to be dealt with for her.She looked at the monk's body, his naked upper body had turned blue, his lips were black and purple, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, as if he was smiling, and a strand of black blood with saliva was hanging on his neck, which had dried up. Shen Wan fell down and started to vomit, but after retching for a long time, it was just some sour water.She thought of those days and nights at Shuanglin Temple.Whether she wants to admit it or not, this is indeed her first man, this man has occupied her body for a long time, and has had skin-to-skin contact with her.She hated him to death, every time he left her body, she washed herself again and again, even when winter came, she had to wash herself with cold well water. And when she finally escaped from him and lived in the Ming Mansion, she deliberately forgot about him, cleaning that memory just like cleaning her own body, just pretending that he never existed.He was the one who wanted to slam the door. She killed her because she had no choice. She finally killed him.Since then, no one has ever known her secret. It's all thanks to that Pill Biyao.It was originally the medicine given to Mr. Nalan by the emperor.Therefore, the person who really killed him was the young master.It was the son who helped him keep the secret. But what next? She thought about hiding Kuzhu's body, destroying it, or throwing it in the well in the back garden. The first time she saw him was at the well platform in the monastery. She washed her hair and dropped the comb in the water. He fetched water for her but hid her comb.Maybe at that time, it was destined that one day she would poison him to death, and then abandon his body in the dry well. But how to give up?As a pregnant woman, she couldn't move this huge corpse no matter what, even if she dragged it out of the house, let alone dragged it all the way to the well and threw it down. Shen Wan raised her head, stared at Nalan's portrait again, and said softly: Rong Ruo, you will help me, won't you? She opened the door and walked out. The beautiful moonlight that filled the yard illuminated the leaves on the trees clearly, and they grew crazily in the quiet night.She seemed to be able to hear the sound of the branches and leaves clattering and growing.A monk died just now, and he turned into nourishment right after his death. He had such a strong desire, so strong that he didn't care about the Buddhist precepts.His desire watered the trees and made them grow wildly in the night. Shen Wan quickened her pace and walked outside the garden gate. There was a clump of purple bamboo beside the well platform, all the leaves had fallen, and the bare branches pointed to the sky, with sparse shadows.The air is full of wind and dew, and the moonlight spreads on the fallen leaves, as if a layer of hoarfrost has fallen.When Shen Wan went out, she would not have time to wear outer clothes, and only then did she feel cold, so she stopped and hesitated for a moment whether she should go back to her room to get her clothes.However, thinking of the dead body in the room, he couldn't help but stagger.Suddenly there was a sound of "Pu Tui", a fat bat spread its wings and flew across the sky, and the fallen leaves covered by the moonlight seemed to dance with it, swirling towards the face.It was as if the monk had suddenly come alive, or his soul had come out of his body and turned into a bat. Shen Wan staggered for a while, and gathered herself together, only to realize that it was just a gust of wind.However, after being surprised by this, a thin layer of sweat broke out on his body, which had been blown dry by the wind long ago, making it even colder.Holding the well platform, she sat down limply, as if she saw a woman waving to her at the bottom of the deep and cold well.The woman was not dead when she was thrown into the well, but she was about to die soon.She struggled desperately, trying to get out of the well, her sharp fingers clawed hard along the wall, grabbing pieces of moss, the moss was too slippery for her to grasp, and finally exhausted, she died in the water ... Shen Wan shuddered, stood up and continued walking.This is yet another choice, or rather, a gamble.If you win the bet, you will be one step closer to the son; if you lose, you will die in this well! Because it was the festival, it was rare for Mingzhu to stay in the mansion instead of living outside, but she still slept in a separate room with Mrs. Jueluo, in the review hall in the front yard.As soon as she lay down, the housekeeper suddenly knocked on the door, saying that Miss Shen from Xiyuan was asking to see her, she couldn't help being surprised and suspicious, and said: "It's late, let her talk about something tomorrow." The housekeeper said: "Why didn't I say that? Helplessly, Miss Shen was very anxious, and said that she had something important to report to the master, and she wanted to see her life and death. She is a heavy person, and it is not easy to go in and out against the wind. I want to be stubborn with her, and I am afraid that I will ruin her in a hurry, so I have to go back and forth with the master to see how it goes?" Mingzhu was even more amazed, so she put on her clothes and got up, went to the outside room, and sat down in the antler chair made of pineapple wood and Ganoderma lucidum.The butler brought ginseng tea, Mingzhu took a sip and swallowed it slowly, and Fang ordered Shen Wan to be brought in. Shen Wan entered the door, just like when she entered the mansion and saw Mingzhu for the first time in the side hall, she knelt down on the ground, her face full of tears and said: "Master, help me, there is a monk who teased me and I killed him." "You killed someone?" Mingzhu was shocked, she couldn't help putting down her teacup, and asked anxiously, "Where and when?" "Just now, the body was still in my room, and I poisoned his wine." Shen Wan gritted her teeth, and before Mingzhu could ask her where she got the poison, she told her everything, "I got the poison from the hall." What I stole was the pill that the emperor gave to the young master on May 30th of the old year, I gave it to the monk, and he died if I didn't think about it." Mingzhu only felt a "boom" in her head, the blood all over her body rushed up, and her eyes turned black and dizzy for a while.When the emperor gave the medicine, there was a saying that he would visit Rong Ruo in the mansion when he came back from patrol.At that time, he already knew that this son could not be kept, and he was destined to die. Since ancient times, seeing a disease in person by the emperor is tantamount to urging death, which is no different from "giving death".The map of the border was hand-drawn by Rong Ruo himself, but this time the war was about to start, the emperor suddenly turned cold towards Rong Ruo, and he didn't even let his subordinates patrol the border.Rong Ruo was forced to report illness, firstly, to give everyone a reason, and secondly, to give the emperor a step, or to put it another way, a temptation.And the emperor returned the trick, which was to give medicine, and also prepared a back trick-"seeing the disease".How about if you don't die? After her son died, Mingzhu wanted to test the pill several times, but she dared not and couldn't bear it.Unexpectedly, he was exposed by the little girl in front of him.He couldn't help but look at Shen Wan again.This little girl can really create surprises for herself, two times and three times made him so unbelievable.I can't tell that she looks weak and delicate, but she has the guts to steal medicine, kill people, and even dare to come to tell herself blatantly. No, she didn't come to ask herself for help, but to question herself.What she wanted was not just a solution to the monk's death, but an answer to Rong Ruo's death. When things came to this, Mingzhu had no choice but to say: "Get up, sit down, and speak slowly." Shen Wan didn't hesitate even more, so she suspected that the son died unexpectedly, how she stole the pills when she was cleaning the hall with the official a few years ago, and how the monk pushed the door in when she was reading a book tonight. It was alarmed by the servants that the words were not good, so he had no choice but to pretend to be a snake, but tricked him into taking the pills in the wine, and explained it in detail from the beginning to the end, only hiding it from himself that he set fire to the Shuanglin Temple. coffin, and had an affair with the monk. Mingzhu was secretly amazed, her color changed, and after a while, she sighed and said: "Since you have suspected this matter for a long time, I will not hide it from you. I have always been suspicious of the emperor's gift of medicine, but I have always deceived myself and refused to verify it. A courtier, accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. The most important thing is to be cautious. The most important thing is curiosity. The emperor rewards you. A courtier can only thank you for his gratitude. If you know it is poison, you have to pretend not to know it. Why bother to know?" As he spoke, he let out another long sigh, as if there was something infinitely unspeakable hidden. And Shen Wan has already heard what he didn't finish, that is, "Why do you bother to forcibly reveal the truth, and expose that sacred panacea as poison?" She refused to pay attention to this accusation, and only asked: " Why did the emperor kill the son?" Mingzhu paused for a moment, then said purely: "I don't even know about this, so I don't want to know whether this medicine is poisonous." Shen Wan asked again: "Is it because of Concubine Hui?" Mingzhu changed color again, and asked intently: "Where did you say this? Why do you ask this question?" Shen Wan took out the words she used to deal with Shui Niang, and said half-truthfully: "Because the young master told me about Concubine Hui when she was in the mansion, and also because of the young master's words, "Linjiang Immortals Thanking the Cherry". " The green leaves become cloudy and the spring is exhausted, and the guard palace protects the stars.Leave the color to comfort you. It is clear that thousands of tears are stored as jade pot ice. Lying alone, Wenyuan Fang was sick and thirsty, so he forced red beans to pay you.I feel that you cherish and report Liu Ying. To cherish flowers, you must love yourself, and rest only because of flowers. That poem was given to his mentor Xu Qianyuan after Nalan took the exam by mistake.When Xu Qianyuan saw the words, he guessed that there was some hidden pain in his heart, but he never asked.Now, Shen Wan asked Xu Qianyuan's unsolved mystery for him. "Back then, the young master failed the court due to his illness. In fact, it was because of Concubine Hui, right?" Shen Wan looked at the bright pearl, her watery eyes were black and white, and her words were also black and white, "That year, Concubine Hui gave birth to a dragon heir, if you want to come to the palace, there will be rewards delivered to the mansion, and the young master must have suffered a heavy blow when he saw her. The so-called 'cherry thanks for payment' is actually not Master Xu's cherry, but a reward from the palace, but this?" Mingzhu sighed repeatedly in her heart, she never thought that this little girl was so smart that she could guess the secrets of the past so long from a single word, she couldn't help nodding and sighing: "You guessed well. However, you only guessed half right. Donglang missed the exam because of his illness, half of it was because of his mother; the other half was because of me." That year was very difficult for Nalan and his son.However, Mingzhu is because of the political situation, and Rongruo is because of emotional injury. However, in the Mingzhu Mansion, there was a banquet, and it was said that it was a double happiness: Nalan Chengde won the provincial examination and passed the first examination; Nalan Biyao gave birth to a dragon species in the palace, the fifth son of the emperor Yinti. The Ming Mansion was decorated with lanterns and festoons, and the doors were filled with joy, and Mingzhu repeatedly said to the visitors, "Happy together, happy together".But he didn't know that the birth of Empress Bi Yao was not a happy event for Rong Ruo.Maybe he knew that he deliberately expressed exaggerated joy at the arrival of the fifth prince chosen by the prince, so as to make his son give up.He was not a frivolous person, he shouldn't have celebrated with such fanfare, and he shouldn't have exposed his ambition too clearly.But otherwise, how could Rong Ruo be willing to forget cousin Bi Yao and marry someone else? What's more, Mingzhu has another concern, that is, Wu Sangui, the king of Pingxi, is becoming more and more powerful in Guangxi.Above the imperial court, the controversy over Ping Fan has always been divided into two factions. One faction, led by Suo Etu, advocates appeasement; Taking a clear stand on politics has always been a big gamble.If history can prove that he is right, then his prosperity is just around the corner; however, if the emperor adopts his suggestion, but triggers a war or even loses, then this beautiful head of his jewel will be donated to the Lord for gratitude. If there is such a day, he hopes that his wife and children will be spared, especially his only son, Nalan Chengde.Cheng De is so heroic, so intelligent, and so talented in writing. He should have a better fate, and his unlimited future should never be his father's bet.The court examination is coming soon, with Rong Ruo's ability, exploring the purple is like picking up grass, and the fame is not a problem. However, if you win, is it really a win? Mingzhu is a good gambler.He knew how to use the weight in his hands, so he would personally train Bi Yao and send her into the palace; he knew better when to enter or raise money, and at this time, it was obviously not a good opportunity for Nalan Rongruo to follow her to the end. If he made a wrong move, he would lose all games. If he lost to Suo'etu, then Rong Ruo would be buried with him.The only way is to keep his son away from the battlefield, willing to wear white clothes, and maybe there is still a glimmer of hope of escape. It is precisely because of this consideration that when Chengde said sadly that he did not want to take the palace examination, Mingzhu readily agreed, and even took the initiative to advise his son to let him pass the examination on the grounds of "cold illness".On the other hand, he urged Rong Ruo to marry a wife, and he was more enthusiastic about his son's marriage than ever before. However, Nalan's heart is just like what he said in the poem, "the character of the heart has turned to ashes", so where is the mood to form a good relationship? In the winter of this year, Wu Sangui rebelled in Yunnan, and the officials were disturbed. Suo Etu insisted that he forced Wu Sangui to rebel on the grounds that Mingzhu had advocated the pacification of the feudal clan. Caress chaos. That was literally a matter of life and death. The emperor is wise.In his life, Ming Zhu had shouted "The Emperor is wise" tens of thousands of times in the court hall, but this time, he was really sincere, and he pronounced the four words "The Emperor is wise" in his heart——Kangxi said decisively Decided to send troops to rehabilitate, and never negotiate a peace. The emperor is also gambling.Bigger bet. Mingzhu came back from Xia Dynasty, and when she saw Jueluo and Rongruo again, she almost felt like a human again, and she couldn't help holding her son's hand and crying, "Donglang, marry me. If this expedition fails, Suo'etu's old man will die." The dog will never let me go, even your life and death are uncertain. If you have a wife and children, maybe you will let the orphans and widows go when the children are young, then our Yehenala family will have one more root pulse.Rong Ruo, you don't want the Ye He family to end with you, do you?Why did your cousin Biyao enter the palace? Have you forgotten the legacy of your ancestors?The girls in Ye He's family can't violate their own destiny. As a man, how can you be so depressed and selfish? After saying this, Mingzhu fell ill, vomited and drowsy, which was really a symptom of "cold illness".He was cold for a while, and hot for a while. His body was hot, but he couldn't sweat. He had to be wiped with hot and cold towels alternately. Rong Ruo didn't take off his clothes, he took care of him day and night, feeding medicine and cleaning his body, he did it himself, and he would never pretend to be someone else.After his father recovered from his illness, Nalan married the daughter of Lu Xingzu, governor of Guangdong and Guangxi. In March, Geng Jingzhong rebelled.In June, Zheng Jing took Quanzhou.The situation is getting worse and worse for the court. But Mingzhu is not afraid anymore, because he has two more pawns in his hand: one is that his son Nalan Rongruo is married; the other is that his concubine gave birth to his second son, Kui Xu. A colleague came to report and said: Suo'etu is buying courtiers again, and jointly signed a report, saying that the current war is caused by your advocacy to cut down the feudal clan, and the emperor wants your head to be beheaded. Mingzhu laughed and said: So what?God treats me like a pearl, I have two sons now, and my son Chengde will have a son soon, the Yehe family can't break the roots, and there will never be any descendants.Even the heavens are against me, so what am I afraid of?Heaven will not kill me, who dares to kill me? The imperial court fought against Wu Sangui, lost several battles and won several battles. In order to show that there was no turning back, Kangxi not only did not want Mingzhu's head, but also transferred him to the official secretary in fourteen years.At the end of the same year, Yinreng, who was under two years old, was registered as the crown prince.This is somewhat of a balance between the Suo Party and the Ming Party.But no matter what, although Mingzhu lost a round in the battle for the prince, she kept her head and became bigger and bigger. So, he began to plan for the next move, which was to let his son Nalan Rongruo join the camp to further strengthen his power.In the fifteenth year of Kangxi, Rong Ruo took part in the imperial examination again under his father's urging, and was unsurprisingly selected as a third-class guard in high school. And the tragedy began that year... Thinking about the past, Mingzhu sighed: "God treats me kindly, allowing me to survive so far without any danger. But for Rong Ruo, it is such a misfortune. Could it be that God is really jealous of talents?" "Where is the heaven's jealousy? It's the emperor's jealousy!" Shen Wan blurted out in grief and anger, "It was the emperor who killed the young master! The emperor angered the young master for the sake of the concubine Hui, and even gave the young master poison. If the young master wants to die, he can't do it!" "Stop talking nonsense!" Mingzhu scolded angrily, but then slowed down her voice, shook her head and sighed, "Rong Ruo died before the imperial medicine arrived, and he didn't take the emperor's medicine at all. Besides, after Rong Ruo left, the emperor cried bitterly." , come to offer sacrifices in person, and it is also considered an honor after death. As a courtier, you should only thank you and not hold grudges." Shen Wan was shocked and realized that she had lost her composure. If Mingzhu was afraid of revealing herself, she might kill herself to silence her.Quickly calmed down, and said with tears: "It's the women who are ignorant, thank you for your enlightenment. Please rest assured, my lord, from now on, the women will just pretend that they don't know, and they won't tell anyone if they are killed. However, the monk is still with me. In the room..." "Don't worry about the monk's affairs." Mingzhu made up her mind, she already had an idea in her heart, and said simply: "You are a single woman, it is inconvenient to live in the garden. From tomorrow onwards, you will move to your wife's upper room." Well, it’s good to have someone to take care of you. Don’t talk about the rest, don’t ask, do you understand?” "clear." Shen Wan really understood.On the surface, Mingzhu made such an arrangement to feel sorry for the imminent delivery of her unborn baby and let Mrs. Jueluo take care of her more; in fact, she was worried about her and asked her to stay in the upper room so that Mrs. Wang could monitor her nearby—if It's not for the child, I'm afraid Mingzhu has already killed her to silence her. But no matter what, the Kuzhu monk who descended from the sky disappeared without a sound from then on. In such a huge Pearl Mansion, adding a person is a great event, but evaporating a person is really nothing. Shen Wan won the game again.Although she failed to gain Mingzhu's trust, she was able to move into Shangfang from now on, which was tantamount to officially becoming a member of Mingfu's family.Moreover, getting close to Mrs. Jue Luo means getting close to the deepest part of the mystery.
