I looked at her quietly for a while, then nodded.

Not surprising.

Although it was surprising that someone would kneel down to his mother in such a situation, it was not surprising that this person was Pei Ji, a person who would ask for the casting of a jade tablet for his mother. His heart must be gentle. Only such a gentle heart can pity a girl whose country and family were destroyed when she was already in a dark place.

I just don’t know why the two of them walked like that afterwards.

So I continued, "What about later?"

My "no surprise" surprised the Master of the Guardian. She looked at me with a smile: "Looking at your appearance, you don't seem to be surprised at all. You seem to have known it a long time ago, about the Supreme Emperor, about your mother, His Highness, the Princess of Zhenguo--"

I said calmly: "Know some."

"What do you know?"

"I know that in order to protect his mother, he asked the High Emperor to cast a jade plaque for exemption."

The Master of the Guardian looked at me with his eyes flashing, and I said quietly: "I also know that he had suffered a lot of pain for the slaughter of the imperial court in Jiangnan, and almost wanted to become a monk."

At this time, the Master of the Guardian sighed lightly.

"I'm sorry to have a royal family."

I looked at her gentle eyes and sympathetic eyes, and I didn't know for a moment that this sentence was. She was talking about the Supreme Emperor, my mother, or all the people who were born in the royal family but were affectionate.

I also sighed, and then asked, "What happened after the city was broken? Master, I have heard that my mother had been ordained for practice."

She was a little surprised: "His Royal Highness of the Zhenguo Princess didn't tell you these things?"

"No," I shook my head and recalled, "She has said very little to me since she was a child, let alone much about her own affairs. I have grown up. When I recall her past, I only remember that her hair was not long. Other women's hair was long like a piece of brocade behind her, while her hair was only that long."

I compared my shoulders.

Master Huguo asked, “She didn’t preach to you either?”

“Never.”

“…”

Master Huguo looked at me for a while, then smiled faintly and said, "Probably, there is no way to be destined."

I looked at her and didn't know what to say for a moment. She sighed lightly and continued, "At that time, it was indeed thanks to Pei, the Supreme Emperor. When the city was broken, those people rushed into the palace to wipe out the royal family. Emperor Li killed all the princesses and concubines and committed suicide, which saved them from trouble, but the last one was left behind, which was a disaster after all."

"so--"

"So, Emperor Gao originally planned to find someone to kill her, throw her into pieces with Emperor Li, the concubines and princesses, and think that he was killed by Emperor Li, but the Supreme Emperor was unwilling to do so. He fought to the death and even hurt himself. Emperor Gao was helpless and left the life of the princess in Zhenguo."

“…”

So that's it.

I asked again, "Then, this is my mother's monk--"

The Master of Guarding the Country smiled and said, "I left behind someone like her, but I also left endless troubles. The first is resettlement. How should I place her? It became the most troublesome thing for Emperor Gao back then."

I nodded.

After all, they were orphans of the previous dynasty and a girl. If they were placed in the palace, they would definitely be uneasy; if they were released from the palace, they would be uneasy.

so--

I said, "So, did you ordain my mother and become a monk?"

"Yes."

The Master Huguo nodded, and seemed to have recalled something, and smiled faintly: "Actually, the authentic Taoism was still in the capital back then. He originally wanted to let her enter the Taoist temple to practice, but Emperor Gao insisted on letting her enter Buddhism."

"Why?"

"Because of ordaining," she smiled, "It seems to ordinary people that women will naturally lose their hair, and their appearance will naturally be damaged."

I was silent for a moment: "Is it because-the Supreme Emperor?"

"But Emperor Gao's idea was wrong. The beautiful appearance of the princess of Zhenguo is as beautiful as her young and even if she is slandered, she will not be damaged at all. Even after being slandered, she will be even more beautiful."

I remembered the fearless monk, Hu Muhan and others, all of them were rough people, but when they talked about their mother, they didn't shy away from talking about her beauty. When their mother saw them, she still had no hair, which still made them unforgettable for so many years, and it was enough to prove the words of the Master of the Guardian.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but touch my face.

When the Master of the Kingdom saw my little move, he couldn't help but smile. With the embarrassment of being seen through, I couldn't help laughing.

Beauty and ugliness are born with me, and I shouldn't care.

Everyone has a love for beauty, and I don’t avoid it.

The Master of the Guardian smiled and said, "Mencius does not lie, the beauty of the princess in Zhenguo is hard to reach in the world. Your Highness should not force him to do this."

I smiled embarrassedly and said, "Don't force it, don't force it."

Although this small episode made me a little embarrassed, I felt that the guardian master became closer. It was not so far away for women to talk about beauty. I coughed lightly, forcibly forget what happened just now, and then continued to ask: "Who is my mother's ordained practice, who extraditioned me? Where is she practicing?"

The Master of the Guardian smiled and said, "Your Highness asked this knowingly. Pomni talked to Youth Highness about the past of the princess of Zhenguo, and then talked about the Supreme Emperor. The one who ordained the princess of Zhenguo was naturally Pomni. The place where she practiced was naturally Chongyun Pavilion in the western suburbs."

I was stunned for a moment, suddenly remembered something, and asked, "I remember that when Emperor Gao was in the beginning of his country, he wanted to make a Mingtang sacrifice, but he failed. Later-"

The Master of the Guardian looked at me with great interest: "It seems that even without Pomni, Your Highness knows a lot about what happened back then. Yes, Emperor Gao failed to perform his first sacrifice in Mingtang, so he went to Chongyun Pavilion to ask His Highness the Princess Zhenguo for advice, and then he succeeded."

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! I let out a long sigh.

So that's it.

When I saw this on the daily note, I always suspected that the protector of the country in front of me guided the sacrifice in the Mingtang. Now I realize that she is just a nun after all. She may participate in the sacrifice hall of such a country. She may know some steps, but how could she know so much that she could even guide the entire sacrifice? It turns out that Emperor Gao asked for advice not her, but my mother.

As a princess, she knows a lot, but it is not too strange to think about what Master Hunting just said that my mother was raised by my grandfather all the time with her.

So I continued to ask, "Then, what about my mother practicing in Chongyun Pavilion? How long has she practiced? The Supreme Emperor - did anything?"

The Master Huguo smiled and said, "His Royal Highness of the Princess Zhenguo has been practicing in Chongyun Pavilion for twelve years. During these twelve years, the Supreme Emperor, who had been named the crown prince, only did one thing."

"What's up?"

"It's all the time to send someone to protect her."

“…”

My heart twitched slightly.

I can't tell whether this moment was moved or shocked. I just remembered Pei Ji, who was poisoned and sick, chanting "All the Frost" in my ear, thinking about his kneeling in the pool of blood, thinking about him not hesitating to hurt himself and protect my mother, thinking about his consideration of her all the time...

I sighed.

However, my mind moved again, and I frowned and raised my head to look at the Master of Guguo: "In the twelve years, the Supreme Emperor ascended the throne, it is not--"

She immediately laughed: "Your Highness's reaction is really fast. Not bad. In the tenth year of the princess's practice, Emperor Gao died due to years of war and the heavy pain of old injuries."

"At that time, the Supreme Emperor ascended the throne and became emperor, and he was to his mother--"

"Just the day before Emperor Gao passed away, the princess of Zhenguo went to seclusion and practiced and entered meditation."

My breathing couldn't help but tighten: "Has she entered into a state of meditation?"

“Yes. Two years.”

“…”

I didn't know what I could say for a moment, but I just felt that my breathing and heartbeat were a little heavy and a little messy.

After two years of meditation, the Iron-Face King told me that she met her father in Xichuan later, and she also entered the customs for two years. After leaving the customs, she returned to secular life and married into the Yan family.

So what happened after she meditated this time?

Hearing my question, the expression on the face of the Master Huguo also became slightly solemn, and he said, "After she left the customs, she asked the emperor for an order to leave Chongyun Pavilion and leave the capital."

"…The emperor agreed?"

"Agree."

“…”

I bit my lower lip, and although this question might not be asked, I still couldn't help but say: "He is not to her - why are she allowed to leave?"

The protector of the country fell silent.

During this silence, the smile on her face slowly subsided. Her wrinkles were less obvious, but her eyes seemed even older. Her eyes had a sense of vastness and boundlessness. She was silent for a long time before she slowly said: "The Supreme Emperor does have affection for her, and the princess in the country may not be completely ruthless."

“…”

"But both of them gave up on each other."

"Why?"

She was silent for a moment, then looked at me and said, "It's not that there is love, you can do anything. There are many things in the world that are higher and more important than love. The princess of Zhenguo once told Pomni that there is a saying in ancient books, "The patriots do not drink the water of the stolen spring."

"Don't the patriots drink the water from the stolen spring?"

"For the princess of Zhenguo, the emperor is the one who destroyed her country; for the emperor, the princess of Zhenguo is the one who witnessed their killing and suffered all the sins and pains. In fact, in their status, of course, they can cover the bells, or cover the sky with one hand, regardless of it. However, covering the bells with the other hand does not mean that they can cover the haze in their hearts."
