The Queen Mother stretched out her hand, and I quickly helped her sit in a chair nearby. She looked at me calmly and said, "If you want to leave the palace, there are two ways."

"Which two?"

"One is that in two months, it will be Aijia's birthday. Every year at this time, the emperor will grant amnesty to the world and pray for blessings for Aijia. If you want to leave the palace, Aijia can take advantage of that time to tell the emperor that you will

You give me a general amnesty and leave the palace."

"What is the Queen Mother's second solution?"

Seeing that I asked the second question without even thinking about it, the Queen Mother glanced at me, but didn't say anything. She just said calmly: "The second way is to sneak out of the palace without letting anyone know."

I frowned slightly and said, "This is easier said than done?"

"In half a month, there will be the emperor's annual blessing ceremony."

"A Zen Blessing Ceremony?"

"Yes. In previous years, during the grand ceremony, the emperor would lead his ministers and concubines to Mount Tai to pray for blessings, but the Ai family heard that this year he will not go that far and will only perform sacrifices at the Ancestral Temple. Even so, he still has to leave the palace for ten years.

Day, if he is not here during this period, you can think of a way. But——"

"But what?"

The Queen Mother looked into my eyes and said: "What you do is running away."

"..."

"With the emperor's character, he will not let you go to any end of the world, and he will definitely capture you."

"..." After hearing what the Queen Mother said, I didn't speak, I just clenched my fists hard.

Yes, he will bring me back. Even if it is a corpse, he will not let me rot outside the palace. That seems to be my nightmare all the time. Even though I have had many opportunities, I have given up because

I don't want to bear that kind of nightmare, so I would rather reject Huang Tianba and let go of the opportunity to leave again and again. I only hope that he can give me a chance to leave the palace in an upright manner and live a free life.

But now——

I slowly raised my head and looked at the Queen Mother: "I choose the second one."

The Queen Mother said: "Aren't you afraid?"

I shook my head: "I don't have time to be afraid. I want to find my daughter as soon as possible."

"But you have to know that even if the Ai family really finds a way to smuggle you out of the palace, you may not be able to leave safely."

"..."

"The emperor may not have expected this move."

"..."

"If you leave the Aijia's sight and are caught by them again, maybe you won't even have a chance to return to Linshui Pagoda."

The Queen Mother's concerns are not unreasonable. Maybe those people are just waiting for me to leave the Linshui Pagoda. Pei Yuanhao can keep me silently in the cold palace for more than two years, so there may not be another place where I can be locked up.

For a lifetime; and if I fall into the hands of Shen Rou or Nangong Lizhu...

This is a gamble.

I couldn't help but think of the time I left Shangyang Palace many years ago. In order to meet Huang Tianba, I deliberately went in circles on the road and put many obstacles on the pursuers. Unfortunately, I was still found by the people of the sect. That method

, although it does not work for people in the sect, but these people in the palace have not learned this kind of tracking technique, so it may not work for them.

No matter what, gambling is gambling, and you have to take risks to win!

Thinking of this, I gritted my teeth and said to the Queen Mother: "I want to give it a try."

The Queen Mother looked at me slightly shocked, and after being silent for a long time, she said slowly: "Girl, the Ai family understands that you miss your daughter so much, so even if it goes against the emperor's wishes, the Ai family is willing to help you, but, you really

Do you think you can escape on your own?"

I thought for a while, looked at the Buddhist niche on the side, and said, "I remember the Queen Mother once said that people must find their own Amitabha to protect themselves."

"Not bad."

"However, I also heard another story."

"What story?"

I slowly said: "There was a farmer who was living in poverty, so he went to the temple to seek blessings from Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva. As soon as he entered the temple, he saw a man kneeling there to worship the Bodhisattva. The appearance of that man was similar to the statue of Bodhisattva in the temple.

They looked exactly the same. The farmer asked him who he was, and the man replied that he was Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva. The farmer was very surprised and said that since you are Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, why do you still worship yourself? The man said, because I know,

It is better to seek help from others than from yourself."

The Queen Mother was slightly shocked when she heard this, and looked at me with wide eyes.

I smiled and then said: "After all these years, I finally understand this matter."

No one can be his own Amitabha.

I want to be my own Amitabha!

The Queen Mother looked at me blankly. After a long time, she let out a long sigh, as if she was relieved, but also seemed a little unwilling after all. She slowly stood up on the chair, turned around and walked back.

I looked at her somewhat old back, then slowly turned my head and looked at the Buddha statue on the table.

Although the Fengchan Prayer Ceremony is half a month away, it is a once-a-year event after all, and the people in the palace are already making preparations. Even in the secluded Linshui Pagoda, you can feel the busyness of those people.

And the only thing I have to do every day is to take good care of my body.

During the ceremony, the emperor would work with the empress, ministers and concubines to leave the palace for ten days. During this time, people from the Department of Internal Affairs would transport the Buddhist scriptures that the queen mother copied out of the palace. I could hide in the car transporting the Buddhist scriptures.

Get out.

It’s not difficult to say this, but I know how difficult it is to do it, especially now that I can’t breathe evenly and break out in cold sweats if I stand for a little longer. If anything happens during this period, I’m afraid I won’t even be able to do it.

I don’t even have the strength to maintain my health, so I have been extra obedient these days. No matter how bitter the medicinal food delivered from the kitchen is, I drink it without frowning. I usually walk around the Linshui Pagoda when no one is paying attention.

Walk to regain your strength.

In a blink of an eye, it’s the fourteenth day.

I drank a bowl of thick black concoction in one breath. The bitter taste filled the air. Even Aunt Gui frowned when she smelled it. The Queen Mother had been sitting next to her. At this time, she gently reached out and squeezed it.

He touched my fingertips and nodded: "You don't have cold hands and feet now."

I smiled: "Much better."

"Where's your chest? Is it still tight?"

"Fortunately, I haven't been angry these days."

"Yes." The Queen Mother nodded, as if she was a little relieved. Aunt Gui brought me a plate of candied fruit to relieve the bitter taste, and said: "I heard that the team that will go out tomorrow has been prepared. Your Majesty will go out tomorrow."

I will leave the palace early in the morning."

"Oh."

"I also heard that other concubines in the harem will go, but the imperial concubine and Li Fei are pregnant and should not travel so hard, so they will not follow the emperor to the Ancestral Temple this time."

My heart moved slightly - Shen Rou and Nangong Lizhu will not go?

But he immediately changed his mind and smiled lightly. Whether they go or not has nothing to do with me. It has nothing to do with me how far this harem will go.

Now, I only think about myself and my daughter, that’s enough.

However, after Nanny Gui said this, she seemed to have something else to say. She glanced at me but hesitated. The Queen Mother frowned slightly and said, "Is there anything else?"

Aunt Gui thought for a while and said: "I heard that the emperor will bring new ones this time——"

Before he finished speaking, someone outside Linshui Pagoda said: "Meet the Queen Mother."

As soon as Aunt Gui heard this, she walked to the door without opening the door. She said through the door: "The Queen Mother is worshiping the Buddha. What can I do?"

"The newly conferred talent Yuan Yueming came to kowtow to the Queen Mother."

The talented person - Yuan Yueming? He was one of the group of concubines who had just come to the Shuifang Pagoda to pay their respects. He was canonized so quickly. However, usually the concubines after the canonization were brought by the queen to kowtow. Why didn't Chang Qing this time?

Are you coming? I turned to look at the Queen Mother, and she said calmly: "The Ai family has said that there is no need to come to kowtow to the Ai family again."

The person outside the door said: "But Yuan Cairen still has something to give to the Queen Mother."

"Oh?" The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows and turned to look at me, as if smiling: "Interesting."

I also smiled lightly.

"Let's go and see it with the Ai family."

"..." I nodded and stepped forward to support Aunt Gui. When I walked to the door, Aunt Gui had already opened the door, and I saw bright sunshine outside, reflecting on the lake around the pagoda.

In the sparkling water, a petite and exquisite woman wearing a goose-yellow dress bowed down: "I pay my respects to the Queen Mother. I wish the Queen Mother happiness, longevity and health."

The Queen Mother stood inside the door and looked down at her: "Yuan Cairen?"

"It is my concubine."

Yuan Yueming always lowered his head and knelt on the ground, looking humble and humble. He held something up high with both hands and said: "This is "It's Difficult to Repay Parents' Kindness" which I copied in my spare time. My handwriting is not good, so I hope you can

Queen Mother, don’t dislike me for being stupid.”
