Mu Sen was still trying to remember which year it was when she heard Leng say,"I was the one who taught her. She didn't want to learn it in the first place.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Gong E smiled at Master Mukong and said,"Your eyes are sharp. I really didn't notice.”Grandmaster Mukong also smiled and shook his head. It turned out that last night, Gong E had mentioned that Leng could read. Grandmaster Mukong had found it strange. Did the imperial court allow the Flying Guillotine to read? Gong E also told him how Leng got the flying guillotine and what the emperor said to him. This master unconsciously frowned, feeling that something was wrong but couldn't put his finger on. The next day, when he saw Leng and Mu Sen, he felt pity for them and said to Gong E,""Since they have nothing to do, copying scriptures is also a merit.”
Gong E smiled and said," I have the same intention, but it's fine if it's cold. Mu Sen can't read, so how can he copy?"”
"Since you're cold, that girl of yours will definitely be cold as well," said Master Mukong.”
"Why?" Gong E asked in disbelief.”As soon as he finished speaking, he felt that this might be true. He knew Leng's thoughts and personality very well, so he could only smile.
When he saw Leng and Musen standing in front of him and looking at him nervously, he smiled and said,""It's cold here, and Musen is sick now. He should go back to his room and light some incense to copy.”
Leng and Mu Sen's hearts sank, but Gong E didn't blame them. Instead, he said these words. They were both surprised and happy. They said almost at the same time,"Yes."
Just as he was about to leave, Gong E suddenly asked,""Musen, who else knows that you can read?”
Musen panicked and said uneasily,"No one knows."
Mu Sen was not good at lying. Gong E could tell at a glance and asked directly,"Does your mother know?"
Mu Sen immediately shook his head sincerely and said,""I don't know."
Gong E was puzzled,"From her expression, there must be someone else who knows that this person isn't Yilan. Who could it be?" Since Mu Sen told her, Leng must know who that person was. Since Leng didn't say anything, he must be a trustworthy person. Seeing that Mu Sen was determined not to say anything, he thought that he wouldn't be able to get anything out of him, so he relaxed and said,"We can't let anyone else know about this. If the Imperial Court finds out, it won't be a small matter.”
"Don't worry, Ma. No one else will know."”
"Go back to your room and copy the scriptures."”The two of them replied and went back without mentioning it.
Gong E saw the two of them go back and turned to Grandmaster: "Big brother is still the best. Everything looks real.”
"It's precisely because I saw it for real that I could let it go," said Master Mukong.”
Gong E looked straight into his eyes and asked,""Is that so?"
It turned out that Master Mukong's original name was Narajia Hui. He was the sworn elder brother of Yongzheng and Gong'e. The two of them had followed Yongzheng all the way from an unremarkable elder brother to a powerful prince until he ascended the throne. Unexpectedly, in less than three months after he became the emperor, Jiahui unexpectedly handed in his resignation, saying that his wish had been fulfilled and that he had no more wishes. He said that he wanted to become a monk. Yongzheng was anxious, and Gong'e panicked. The two of them said,"I'm tired, you can persuade me."" I advise you to rest " strategy came one after another, but Jiahui had already made up his mind. Yongzheng had no choice but to think of their place of brotherhood. It was high and dry, with lush forests. On the right was the city's artifact, and on the left was the mountain and river. It was a quiet and clean place, so he ordered to build a temple there. After it was built, Jiahui was unwilling to be the host. Yongzheng had no choice but to let him be. This time, Gong E told Yongzheng that he wanted to see his brother. Yongzheng pondered for a long time and said,"Zhen also wants to go, but I'm tied up by political affairs. When you see him, send him my regards. If he has anything to say to Zhen, remember to come back and tell Zhen.”
"Yes," replied Gong Er.
Yongzheng thought for a long time and said," Bring Leng along. He was originally an orphan and no longer remembers his surname. I gave him the surname Nala because I miss our elder brother. Do you understand the meaning behind it?”
"Understood," replied Gong E.
How could Gong E not understand? Back then, when he had just brought Leng back to the Flying Guillotine, he had once asked him what Ma's name was. He had shook his head and said that he could not remember. Why did he only remember this surname? Later on, he found out that this surname was bestowed by the Emperor. He understood then, but there was still something he did not understand. For example, why did her brother have to become a monk?
And why did His Majesty not allow him to travel far and had to build a temple for him in the suburbs of the capital? Could it be that they were really brothers?
How many people in this temple were sent by the emperor? Was he really protecting his brother?
What was he guarding against? Or was he hiding something from him?
His brother was not only skilled in medicine, but he also loved the research and production of weapons. It could be said that the founder of the Flying Guillotine was Naraja Hui. How could such a bloodthirsty weapon creator give up everything overnight and give himself the Dharma name "Mukong"?
What was the meaning of 'empty eyes'?
Was it for the emperor?
If it was, then he must have seen something, or it could be said that the two of them had done something together. It was precisely because of the importance of this matter that the elder brother was afraid that the Emperor, who was his brother and master, would kill him to silence him, so he came up with such a method.
This must have happened before his elder brother made that decision. But what major event had happened before that decision?
Gong E was shocked. There was only one thing that had happened, and that was the Emperor Yongzheng's succession. Gong E was covered in cold sweat. He didn't want to think that way, but all his questions were linked together, and there was only one answer. He couldn't help but re-examine what kind of person this emperor was.
He was suspicious, mean, and ungrateful. It wasn't that he didn't know, but he had chosen this master himself. What could he say?
After all these years of bloodshed and cruel struggles, the high spirits of his youth had gradually faded. When he reached middle age, he felt that the love of a husband and wife and the love of a loving father were the most precious. What he could not tolerate the most was the Emperor's "grace". How could he not see that this was another kind of threat? After letting his child go back to killing, why did he support Mu Sen to marry Prince Bao? Wasn't he using his daughter as a bargaining chip? To put it more bluntly, he was a hostage. The whole reason was that he could not let him leave like his brother.
He wanted to leave in one piece, take his wife and children, and find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers, far away from the center of the government, far away from killing, and live a stable and stable life.
However, he knew too much. Our suspicious Emperor would never do as I wished. Thinking of this, I felt sad and emotional.
When Leng He and Mu Sen returned to the room to copy the scriptures, it was already lunchtime. After they ate vegetarian food hand in hand, they went to the courtyard to boil medicine. Mu Sen felt much better today and didn't want to eat that bitter thing anymore. He said,"Master said that as long as I stay here and rest, my illness will naturally recover.”
Leng knew what she meant. She only smiled and said,"I was also present when Master said this."
"I'm fine now. I don't need to take medicine anymore." Musen pursed his lips.”
"I know what you mean," said Leng."You don't have to think about it."”
Seeing Leng say this, Mu Sen knew that it was useless to say anything more. He could only mumble in a low voice,"At home, Mother is in charge of me, but when I come out, you are in charge of me.”
He sneered and said," Your Uncle Feng has seriously prescribed the prescription. No matter what, you can't let him down. Besides, how can you get rid of the root of the disease if you don't drink the medicine?"”
"Have you taken the pill I gave you?" Musen asked after a pause.”
"How could I not remember what you said? I took a pill before I went to bed every day. I feel much better now."”
Mu Sen remembered that he had never told him what the pill was for. Hearing his words, he couldn't help but ask,"How is it good?"
"Of course I slept well."”After saying that, their eyes met and they smiled sincerely. "How did you know that I didn't sleep well at night?" Leng asked again.”
"I heard Thirteen say that he always sees you sitting by the window in a daze at night, or reading under the light," said Musen.”"What exactly is bothering you?" she asked worriedly.”
Seeing Mu Sen like this, Leng quickly coaxed,"You actually listened to Thirteen's nonsense. He just happened to see me like this a few times, so he thought I was like this every night.”
