Daxia Lingxian

Seeing the emperor retreating back to the palace with an unswerving expression, all the ministers in the palace looked at each other and exchanged unintelligible glances with each other.

The atmosphere in the hall was very strange for a moment.

You clearly know what others are thinking, and you also know that others know what you are thinking, but...

But everyone can't say it openly, and they have to pretend that "I have a bright heart"!

These Confucian and Taoist monks actually know in their hearts that most of the miracles of holy ghosts are real and it is difficult to fake them.

Luo Ning might actually be a holy ghost.

But this is harmful to the great authority of famous religions rather than helpful!

How to do?

Many people suddenly thought of the Jin Kingdom, which was renamed the Qing Dynasty.

Judging from the edict issued by the "Emperor of the Qing Dynasty" before, Huang Taiji disapproved of the Holy Ghost!

He has no intention of worshiping the holy ghosts, but wants to conquer the south.

If Huang Taiji were the master of the Son of Heaven, he probably would not have built a holy ghost temple, and would probably have respected the famous religion and respected the saints.

So... is it destiny for the Qing Dynasty to replace the Xia Dynasty?

The first assistant coughed and said majestically:

"You princes, please retreat from the court. The Holy Emperor listens to the elegant words and listens to your advice like a stream. Don't let the stubborn ministers go to the left or right. We are speaking from the bottom of our hearts. When we are old enough to plan for the country, the Holy Emperor will be happy to obey."

The ministers nodded, "As the old Prime Minister said, this is the blessing of the country."

After that, everyone dispersed and left with their own thoughts.

...

In the northwest of Chang'an, there is a women's prison.

Although the women's prison is relatively lax in terms of supervision, and they can occasionally go outside the prison to relax, it is still not a place for human beings.

Female prison inmates need to work. The clothes, shoes and socks of the jailer, cell boss and their family members must be washed by female prisoners.

They also have to pound rice and sew... Although they have more freedom than male prisoners, the labor is heavy and non-stop all day long. They are both prisoners and slaves.

It has been twenty months since Cai Quan'er was deposed and imprisoned in prison.

For hundreds of days and nights, she lived like years.

At this time, a weak ray of setting sun shone into the patio of the women's prison, adding a touch of bright color to the dark and damp prison.

The female prisoners drew cold water from the well and each of them silently washed the piles of clothes and shoes, their hands all red from the cold.

Cai Quan'er had the most clothes and shoes to starch around her, almost piling up into a hill.

In the past two years, thanks to her brother Cai Ji, she has definitely been the most "cared for" inmate in the entire women's prison.

Cai Quan'er, who received special "care", did the most work, was the most tiring and the dirtiest. The food he ate was the worst, and the sleep he got was the least.

She also suffered the most bullying. She was often punished to kneel down, slapped in the face, forbidden to use the toilet, and soaked in cold water during menstruation...

The higher-ups have warned her to suffer severe punishment for several years and to torture her to death!

Coupled with the fact that his cultivation was abolished, Cai Quan'er's body collapsed in less than two years.

Cai Quan'er, in Jingchai's sarong, is only in her early thirties, but her hair has turned gray, her face is full of vicissitudes, and her expression is sad. She looks like a country woman, and she is no longer the youthful girl she once was.

The originally graceful young and beautiful woman suddenly revealed her second half of her life, like an old woman whose days were numbered and whose bones were broken apart by illness.

Only the beautiful outline of the facial features can vaguely show the beauty of that year.

Ever since she was kicked out of the Earl's Mansion by the real Wen Changbo Zhang Tao more than ten years ago, Cai Quan'er has become a laughing stock. Although Cai Ji supports her, her heart has become cold.

Cai Ji's official position is getting bigger and bigger. Although she is not favored by her sister-in-law and is in a difficult situation, as Cai Xianggong's sister, no one dares to bully her.

Although she was in an awkward situation at that time, her life was just fine.

However, Cai Ji suddenly lost the army and surrendered his money!

She suddenly became a member of the rebel family, was taken to the capital, and imprisoned in imperial prison.

He was imprisoned for less than two years, and the torture and humiliation he endured is unspeakable. Thinking about it is so painful that it is suffocating.

In this place, her life is more humble than a weed, more humble than a wild dog, and more miserable than a beggar!

Even the kiln sisters in the lower-class brothels are more human-like and more dignified than her.

Cai Quan'er beat her sore waist, blew on her cold and numb hands, brushed her gray hair around her ears, and raised her eyes to see if she was sick.

The generally powerless winter sun looks miserable.

In the dappled light and shadow of the sun, Cai Quan'er's eyes were blurred. In the trance, it was Ye Feiye, as if he was seeing scenes from his youth again.

The setting sun shines on the cold prison, and the tomb of the heart has become a ruin.

Whenever she recalled the past, she discovered that the happiest days were actually the days she spent with Luo Ning in Maple Leaf Village when she was a child.

"Brother Ning, I will definitely marry you when I grow up."

"Sister Quan'er, people will change. When you grow up, you may not think so."

"No, Brother Ning, I won't marry you unless I marry you. Just wait until I grow up."

"Haha, okay, I will wait for you to grow up. If you still have this intention when you grow up, I will definitely marry you."

...

With tears in her throat, Cai Quan'er suddenly coughed, her face turned red and her gray hair trembled.

"Brother Ning..."

Thinking of this name, Cai Quan'er's heart felt extremely sour, so sour that the pain was unbearable.

My life was not originally like this.

No.

Many times, she wanted to die.

As long as you jump into the cold well water, can you be freed once and for all?

But she wasn't willing to give in!

She didn't believe that a person like her brother would actually be defeated and rebel, and he would shave his hair and pay the money!

She doesn't believe it!

My brother, a scholar who has the world in mind, lofty ambitions, and a rugged character, is a noble gentleman who will cut off his hair and make money regardless of the safety of his family!

It must be a traitorous official in the court who was jealous of his brother, framed him, fabricated charges, and framed Zhongliang.

She wanted to see her brother again and ask him face to face.

"Cai Quan'er! Have you washed my menstrual tape? Why are you so stunned! I'm having an erotic dream!"

While Cai Quan'er was in a state of trance, a loud shout woke her up.

But she saw the cell leader, Wang Erniang, with an angry face, carrying a bloody cloth belt, and slapped her in the face.

"How dare you, a bitch, perfunctory my job!"

"Dirty material, bitch look! She just needs to be fucked!"

Cai Quan'er endured the humiliation with shame, lowered her head and said weakly:

"Madam, please calm down. I'm feeling unwell and dizzy. I didn't mean to be perfunctory..."

Wang Erniang didn't wait for her to finish speaking, then she got angry and suddenly kicked Cai Quan'er in the stomach.

Cai Quan'er screamed and squatted on the ground in pain, holding her lower abdomen, her body bent like a shrimp in a frying pan.

"How dare you talk so much! You're cheap!"

"Bitch! If you can't wash it clean, watch your skin carefully!"

Wang Erniang looked down at Cai Quan'er, whose facial features were distorted in pain, with a look of unapproachable ferocity.

"Still considering you as the Prime Minister's sister and Miss Cai's family?"

"The brothel sister with the lowest prostitution fee is more valuable than you!"

"Bah, you stink! I feel sick when I smell it! Get away!"

Wang Erniang and others would find trouble and humiliate Cai Quan'er when they had nothing to do, but it was not because Cai Ji had his hair cut off to get money.

In fact, things like shaving off one's hair and paying money would not arouse the indignation of prison bosses like Wang Erniang at all.

She didn't even care if "Qing" would come in.

Her persistent pursuit of Cai Quan'er was just a message from someone who wanted to "treat" Cai Quan'er well.

When Wang Erniang saw Cai Quan'er sweating in pain and her facial features distorted, she couldn't help but cursed again:

"You bitch pretending to be pitiful! Your intestines are broken? If you don't believe it, I can kick you to death!"

Just as he was about to raise his hand and slap Cai Quan'er again, a voice suddenly said:

"stop!"

Wang Erniang looked back in horror, and saw the man wearing a python robe with an astonishing embroidered clothes. The official said, Summer Solstice!

To her, this is a big shot that is beyond the reach of heavenly beings.

For a moment, there was a fierce look in the corner of Wang Erniang's mouth, but her eyebrows were like a rag that had been torn apart, smoothed and stretched in an instant.

The look of false surprise and real horror, suddenly changing like changing faces, is extremely vivid and vivid.

"Oh! Fu Shuai!"

Wang Erniang was like a civet cat that was frightened by its noble master. Her voice became high-pitched when she jumped high.

"Master Fu Shuai, please calm down!"

As he spoke, he knelt down with a thump, crawling in the dust, shivering.

She has been working in the Women's Prison of Imperial Prison for decades, and this is the first time she has seen the magistrate come to this dirty and dirty women's prison in person. The female prisoners around them were stunned when they heard "Master Fu Shuai" and saw Wang Erniang, who usually controlled their fate, kneeling down in fear.

Cai Quan'er, who was in pain and sweating, struggled to kneel and salute, "Sinful woman and concubine Cai Quan'er, pay your respects to the commander-in-chief!"

But she knew Xia Fuling from Xiuyi Mansion.

Of course Xia Zhi also knew Cai Quan'er.

He hates the Cai family, including Cai Quan'er of course.

Because Cai Ji is a traitor to Daxia! The crime deserves death!

But today, he needs to give Cai Quan'er some courtesy.

After all, this woman has a close relationship with Luo Ning, who is suspected of being a holy ghost.

"Wang, you are too harsh." Xia Zhi said in a calm tone.

But Mrs. Wang was as frightened as a quail, and trembled like chaff, "Fu... handsome, bitch... damn, please spare your life, handsome..."

Xia Zhi's indifferent face showed a cold smile, "Her internal organs are broken, your kick can really kill her."

Wang was so horrified that she couldn't speak. She could only kowtow, fearing that Xia Zhi would crush herself to death like an ant.

She was also very confused in her heart, why did the superior Mansion Commander actually come to the women's prison in person and care about Cai Quan'er?

Xia Zhi suddenly stretched out his hand and gave Cai Quan'er a pill to eat. Then he started to use his technique and pressed it on Cai Quan'er a few times.

"Your organs were broken. You were bound to die, but now you're fine."

After speaking, he performed a trick to remove the dirt on Cai Quan'er's body.

"Come with me!"

...

Cai Quan'er followed Xia Zhi to get out of the women's prison, and she seemed to be dreaming.

But she was a very smart woman, and she quickly guessed the reason.

Is it because of Brother Ning?

Some time ago, she also saw a god appearing in the void. When she saw the holy ghost, she concluded that it was Luo Ning.

It must be him!

Although it was hard for her to believe this unbelievable thing, she was still certain that the god with boundless power was indeed the Luo Ning she was familiar with.

How did you feel at that time? Her heart seemed to have been ripped away and she felt empty.

Her already collapsed body seemed to have been drained of her last persistence and became an empty shell.

The Duke of Wei, Luo Ning, was already beyond her reach, but now Luo Ning is even more aloof and powerful!

Maybe it's not that I missed him, but that he didn't belong to me, I wasn't worthy of him, and fate wouldn't let me have this blessing.

Thinking this way, it seems that her heart will feel better.

I really want to forget all about my past.

However, she was still in a trance because of regret, and at midnight she dreamed of going back in time several times, as if she had returned to Maple Leaf Village.

If she could have stayed true to her original intention and her love would still be the same... It's a pity that there is no if.

She is a gambler of fate. After betting, she loses everything and has nothing.

Cai Quaner got into a luxurious carriage in a daze and entered a gorgeous garden.

Then a large group of maids came up, some changing clothes, some combing their hair, and some burning incense, as if they were serving a noble lady.

After Cai Quan'er had tidied it up from beginning to end, he presented her with exquisite delicacies.

For a moment, Cai Quan'er seemed to have returned to her original wealthy life.

Cai Quan'er is a very well-educated person. Even though she had long wanted to have a big meal, she still ate elegantly in front of a room full of delicacies.

After just two bites, tears started flowing down my cheeks.

Delicious food, I really don’t know what it tastes like.

Xia Zhi was not in a hurry and waited for her to finish using it in the flower hall nearby.

The death of the rebellious sister is not a pity, of course it is trivial. But after all, she and Luo Ning were childhood sweethearts who grew up together.

Although Cai Quan'er later changed her mind when she saw something different, and the two broke off their relationship, it was hard to guarantee that Luoning didn't have the feeling of first love in her heart.

Even if there is only a trace of the incense of an old friend.

It's also worth being nice to her, it's safer this way.

Xia Zhi's expression was uncertain, thinking about the current difficult situation, he couldn't help but feel worried.

The more critical the situation, the more he sympathized with the previous governor Lu Zhi's painstaking efforts.

It’s difficult.

He seemed to be the Order of Xiuyi Mansion, and he was very powerful, but he couldn't touch any of those high-ranking Confucian and Taoist ministers!

He knew very well that His Majesty was almost going to be sidelined.

If this continues, "the imperial edict will not leave Chang'an" soon!

The forces of Confucianism and Taoism took control of the court, and they were connected with each other, intertwined, and more united than before.

A single move affects the whole body!

Their name is Xia Chen. How loyal they actually are and what they are planning behind them is no longer a question!

The famous religion is obviously the right way in the world, and the words of the saints are obviously the truth, but why...

Why are those Confucian and Taoist officials mostly hypocrites who are both bitches and erecting archways?

Why? What's the problem?

Xia Zhi sighed secretly and rubbed the center of his brow, feeling a deep sense of weakness.

"Master Fu Shuai." After finishing his meal, Cai Quan'er came to Xia Zhi and bowed down, "Cai Quan'er, a sinful woman and a lowly concubine, thanks Fu Shuai for his grace."

Xia Zhi looked down at the woman's gray hair and said in a calm tone:

"With your shrewdness, you should know that it is not me who you want to thank."

"Get up and sit down."

"Yes, thank you for the order." Cai Quan'er felt sour in her heart. How could she not understand Xia Zhi's words?

What she wanted to thank was...Luo Ning.

Unexpectedly, in the end, just the name Luoning could save him from prison.

Cai Quan'er carefully sat on the edge of the chair, lowered her eyebrows and narrowed her eyes and said weakly:

"May I ask, Mr. Fu Shuai?"

Xia Zhi showed a smile of approval. Cai Ji's sister was indeed not comparable to ordinary women.

"Cai Quan'er, you are very smart." Xia Zhi said, "Unfortunately, smart women in the world often make wrong choices. Do you know why?"

Cai Quan'er smiled bitterly and said, "Please give me some advice, Mr. Fu Shuai."

Of course Xia Zhi is not talking nonsense, "Because smart women are too rational, they are easy to change their minds, and are easily seduced by wealth and poverty. But such women are the most worthless in the eyes of men."

"Unless such a woman has power, at best she only thinks she is smart, but she is by no means truly wise."

Cai Quan'er blushed and said, "The sinful woman is dull and immeasurably stupid. She never dares to be smart."

"The sinful woman understands what Lord Fu Shuai means. The sinful woman will plead guilty to Duke Wei."

Xia Zhi nodded, "Then tell me, is the Holy Ghost who performed the miracle in the void last month Luo Ning?"

"I have never met Luo Ning, nor have His Majesty or the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty met him. You are the person who knows him best in Chang'an City today."

He stared into Cai Quan'er's eyes and said, "This is a serious matter, please think about it before we discuss it."

"It's him." Cai Quan'er answered without hesitation, with tears in her eyes and a sad look on her face, "It's definitely him. Your Majesty, the Commander-in-Chief can definitely report to Your Majesty that the Holy Ghost is Luo Ning!"

Xia Zhi's brows jumped. Even though he was prepared, he still found it difficult to accept Cai Quan'er's decisive answer without hesitation.

It turns out that the holy ghost is really Luo Ning!

After Cai Quan'er's confirmation, it will never be wrong again.

The strange thing is that when Cai Quan'er saw the miracle in the void, she immediately confirmed that it was true. But her brother Cai Ji was also familiar with Luo Ning, but he just didn't believe it!

This may be due to the difference in perception between men and women, or it may be that Confucian and Taoist monks like Cai Ji find it difficult to believe in "miracles".

But what Cai Quan'er didn't know was that her childhood sweetheart was actually Luo Zhiyuan who was far away in the fairy world, not Luo Ning.

There were twists and turns that she could never have imagined.

...

Xia Zhi got the answer in the affirmative, left the other courtyard, and went directly to the palace to report.

"In reply to Your Majesty, Cai Quan'er is sure that the holy ghost is Luo Ning, Duke of Wei, and he will never be wrong again."

Chong Zhen was stunned for a moment, and then he patted Long An and said, "Duke Wei Guo is really a holy ghost, His Majesty!"

"Quickly call... No, I want to bathe and burn incense, and go to Xifan in person to ask the Holy Ghost Majesty to come to Chang'an and save my country, Daxia Sheji!" (End of this chapter)
