Chapter 358 Give her a ride
Faced with such a "real" Princess Xianyi, Yang Yun really didn't know how to persuade him.
Princess Xianyi seemed to have not been completely drunk and her speech was quite clear, so Yang Yun could not let her leave.
"Don't the princess like to drink my wine? Why don't you toast you here? Thank you for your help for a long time." Yang Yun went against his normal behavior and toasted Princess Xianyi, trying to get her drunk.
Princess Xianyi sneered and said, "It's just a little wine. Do you think I'm afraid of you toasting? I'm in good condition...drink!"
Strong attitude, sip it all with your neck!
Who would have thought that after a glass of wine, Princess Xianyi was drunk and rushed to the table.
It was not because this glass of wine made her suddenly drunk, but more importantly, Yang Yun took advantage of Princess Xianyi's distracting to interfere with her thoughts, making her mind blank. The drunk people were almost zero in defense, and she fell asleep directly at the suggestion of Yang Yun.
"You can come in and bring the princess back."
Yang Yun got up and walked to the door, opened the door of the private room, and asked the female officials and palace maids waiting outside to come in.
Seeing four strong palace maids carrying Princess Xianyi downstairs, Yang Yun felt mixed emotions.
Princess Xianyi's previous backer was her mother. With the favor that Concubine Wu Hui received, she also became the most favored and powerful princess in the palace.
Now that her spiritual pillar, Wu Huifei, is unable to afford to get sick, the little girl loses her dependence and can only go to the Zuixianlou to buy drunk.
"Don't leave, drink with me...I still have to drink..."
After Princess Xianyi went downstairs, Yang Yun could still hear her talking, but at this time it was more of a dream talk and it didn't matter.
Yang Yun did not go out to see him off. He stood at the window on the second floor and watched the carriage go away until he disappeared at the corner of the street, and he retracted his gaze.
When I turned around, I saw something very strange on the table. I picked it up and saw it. It was the headdress of my daughter. I just thought that Princess Xianyi lost it after getting drunk, so I put it away and prepared to return it to my daughter.
...
...
A few more days later.
Concubine Wu Hui was terminally ill and had a mental atrophy. As long as she fell asleep, she would wake up and stay bedridden.
She is now skinny and dying.
Li Longji used all the solutions he could think of on Wu Huifei. In addition to asking Yang Yun to do the work, Li Longji could be regarded as the most righteous.
Li Longji even brought people to Xuannv Temple to pray for blessings, probably because he wanted to get the protection of the Nine Heavens Xuannv to help him protect his beloved concubine.
Unfortunately, on May 22, Concubine Wu Hui died of illness.
The news came out that it had no substantial impact on the people. The people did not care much about the death of the emperor's concubines, neither the queen nor the imperial concubine. The court did not issue a ban on this and did not allow the people to hold weddings and other ceremonies. The funeral of Wu Huifei was basically held in a low-key manner in the inner palace.
On May 25, Li Longji still did not set the date of Wu Huifei's burial. With Li Longji's dedicated love, he has not found a new love for him for the time being. He is very affectionate with Wu Huifei and is extremely painful.
That afternoon, Li Longji called Yang Yun to the palace and had to discuss something.
Gao Lishi personally went to the palace gate to wait for Yang Yun to come and led Yang Yun to the palace. When he led Yang Yun to the palace, he specifically reminded: "The National Master should not touch Your Majesty's sadness. Your Majesty has stopped working for the past few days. I am afraid that it will not be possible to recover in a short period of time."
Yang Yun asked, "I wonder what's the matter with Your Majesty summoning me to the palace?"
Gao Lishi was also a little confused. Now Li Longji is in a bad mood and has been confused about what he ordered. He doesn't even know why Gao Lishi is not sure.
"I don't know what's going on, I think it's related to the death of Concubine Hui."
Gao Lishi's words were enough to stop, and he was very clear about the current situation in the palace.
Concubine Wu Hui died. Except for the emperor's sadness, the other concubines almost celebrated each other, and finally lost the life of Concubine Wu Hui, the great enemy.
For those princes and princesses, except for those who were born by Concubine Wu Hui, they all secretly applauded, which was related to Concubine Wu Hui’s usual favor, arrogant and domineering people.
Everyone knows that the death of the prince is inseparable from Concubine Wu Hui. When Concubine Wu Hui was alive, everyone was worried that the fire would burn to him. Now that Concubine Wu Hui is dead, for Li Longji's children, it is like the sword hanging on her head that has finally been lifted and she can sleep well.
Yang Yun followed Gao Lishi to Zhenguan Hall, and saw Li Longji sitting in front of the floor beside the window, with a gloomy expression, and was holding the Taoist scripture in his hand.
I looked very carefully and felt like I had entered a state of meditation, motionless, and felt a sense of selflessness.
"Your Majesty, the national commander is here." Before Gao Lishi brought Yang Yun in, he did not enter in advance and communicated. He also felt that Li Longji was very anxious to find Yang Yun this time and did not want to delay time.
"Okay, you go back."
Li Longji waved his hand, his tone was quite calm, but the first sentence he came up to let Gao Lishi go out, it seemed that he wanted to talk to Yang Yun alone.
Of course, Gao Lishi was a little reluctant.
Until now, he didn't know whether Li Longji's purpose of finding Yang Yun was kicked out like this, which means that the emperor did not trust him.
But Gao Lishi had no reason to refuse, so he retreated as he said, and together with the eunuchs and palace maids in the hall, they also left the hall.
Li Longji's eyes remained unchanged from the Taoist scriptures in his hand, and suddenly asked: "National Master, I ask you, if you really ascend to the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss alone, do you still have any perceptions of the things in the world?"
Yang Yun frowned slightly after hearing this. The concept of Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss should be considered a Buddhist concept in this era. Should the emperor believe in Buddhism or the Tao?
Or is it confusing the two?
Yang Yun explained: "Since you have left the world and have arrived in another country, you should have no worries about the world's affairs. In my opinion, this should be the case."
Yang Yun knew very well that the purpose of Li Longji's question was to find psychological relief for himself and ask for the deceased Concubine Wu Hui.
When Li Longji heard this, he was neither anxious nor angry, and sighed: "It seems that my fate with Concubine Hui can only be renewed after I get there."
Yang Yun corrected: "If Your Majesty ascended the immortal world and Concubine Hui went to the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, the two may not be shared."
"oh?"
Li Longji looked up at Yang Yun, and was a little strange about Yang Yun's words.
Li Longji has long been used to others following the meaning of his words. He hasn't seen Yang Yun refute such a situation that even though he knew he would be guilty, he still refuted.
But I don’t think it’s strange to think that Yang Yun is a Taoist authority. I think it’s because Yang Yun really holds such a view and doesn’t want to agree with his hypocritical remarks.
"National Master, in your opinion, is my fate with Concubine Hui over here?" Li Longji asked, and suddenly realized the mistake in his words and added, "No, if I have not ascended to become an immortal, but have passed away as a mortal like Concubine Hui, then I can see her again, right?"
Yang Yun shook his head and said, "The Taoist has no clear statement about what happens after a person dies. If this statement can make Your Majesty feel better, it is probably the case."
"But Your Majesty ascended to become an immortal is a sign of heaven. I think it's almost impossible to separate... Your Majesty doesn't have to worry about the death of Concubine Hui."
Li Longji sighed, as if he had seen many things in the world, and sighed: "It's not easy to cultivate and become an immortal? I was so moved after asking Xuannv's difficulties and obstacles about becoming an immortal."
Yang Yun finally knew why Li Longji had this reaction and asked these questions. It turned out that Yang Yuhuan made a pot of toxic chicken soup for Li Longji without his consent.
However, it can make Li Longji relieve his depression and seem to be calm and discuss the true meaning of life here. It can be considered that Yang Yuhuan is wrong.
"Your Majesty, since Concubine Hui has traveled to the immortal world, she should be buried earlier and buried in peace."
Yang Yun was afraid that Li Longji would always be thinking about his partner's voice, appearance and smile, so he refused to admit that Wu Huifei had passed away, so he left Wu Huifei in the palace, so he reminded him.
Li Longji's eyes showed a sense of loss, and he said in a daze: "I took her to Luoyang and could never return to Chang'an. I will leave this way. How can I bear it? Shouldn't I bring her remains back?"
Seeing Li Longji's affectionate look, Yang Yun really didn't know how to evaluate it.
Is it a love species, or a fool who loves beauty but not the country!?
He is a good at usurping the throne and governing the country, but why is he so indecisive when facing emotional issues?
"Your Majesty, I have not asked you, and you have summoned me to come, but I don't know what's going on."
Yang Yun didn't want to talk nonsense to Li Longjido. Such an emperor seemed to be already hindered. If he continued to listen, Yang Yun felt that his mind was going to be confused.
Let’s complete the main work first and know what Li Longji is going to do.
Li Longji said: "I originally wanted to ask you about the secrets of heaven, but now I think that the difference between me and Concubine Hui is the destiny of heaven and cannot be changed by human power. It is difficult for her to remove the demons in her heart. If she leaves like this, there will definitely be evil things left on her body. It is better for you to go and exorcise her evil spirits and talk about human affairs."
After listening to Li Longji's request, Yang Yun really didn't want to accept it.
It is really absurd that Wu Huifei still wants him to face it when she dies.
Originally, Concubine Wu Hui took it upon herself, but it was also the result of Yang Yun's secret effort. Otherwise, Concubine Wu Hui would not have died in a divine way.
"Your Majesty, as I see, Concubine Hui suffers from hysteria." Yang Yun deliberately refused.
Li Longji smiled bitterly and sighed: "I understand, but I still want to do my best for her. If I can let her leave with peace of mind, I will no longer have any regrets."
Since the emperor said so, Yang Yun felt that it would be a bit inhumane to refuse.
Isn't it just to do a ritual?
What's the difficulty of this!
"I obey the order." Yang Yun accepted the order.
Originally, Yang Yun thought that the ritual would be done before the funeral, but Li Longji stood up and said, "National Master, go with me and see Concubine Hui."
Yang Yun asked: "Do you want to notify people outside?"
What he meant was whether to notify Gao Lishi? Seeing Li Longji's attitude, he was going to take him alone.
"No need, I want to say goodbye to Concubine Hui alone. You are here to be the guide so that she can be reincarnated earlier... I have treated her too much in my life, and even if she dies, she will not be able to make Shibalang the crown prince as she wishes. It is really unreasonable."
Speaking of this, Li Longji shook his head and sighed, and walked straight to the inner hall. Yang Yun had no choice but to follow him in.
