Playful Queen

Chapter 38

What? !Everyone looked at each other in surprise, what does the Queen mean by this, is this bergamot man-made?
Zi Yechen's eyes became deep, and Mengli looked at the abbot, and said leisurely: "I wonder if the abbot watched the sky last night, did he observe this?"

Upon hearing this, the abbot of Baoguang Temple immediately showed a panicked look on his face. Beads of sweat began to emerge. He nervously wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, tried to hide his emotions, and said hastily, " I don't understand why the empress asked such a question."

Playing dumb, right?Mengli smiled, moved to the shattered Buddha statue's hand, flipped through it with her hand, suddenly grabbed something like an iron needle and raised her hand, "Then let Bengong come and take care of the abbot. Let me explain, Master Ruyun said that it is true that the buddha's hand has been broken, but it is true that the Buddha statue has been cracked for too long, but there is only one reason why it was tampered with!"

Everyone was too shocked to speak, as if they were waiting for the queen to speak.

"This is the evidence. The iron needles lead to lightning, and the water in the hands of the Buddha statues due to the rain last night will increase the shock force of the lightning flashes on the Buddha's hands, which will make the already cracked Buddha's hands appear huge. It fell under the strong vibration, making the illusion of being cut by lightning!"

As soon as these words came out, the crowd started to clamor, looking at the iron needle, they all cast strange glances at the Queen.

"Bold monk, dare to deceive the crowd with evil words when offering sacrifices to the heavens, you should be punished!" Dali Temple Secretary said sharply.

Zi Yechen's face was somber at this time, and he looked at the woman reaching his shoulders, a strange light flashed in his eyes, and then, he flicked his sleeves, his tall body was full of the aura of a king, and said in a deep voice. Said: "Do you have anything else to say?"

The abbot of Baoguang Temple was ashen-faced, and immediately knelt down, shaking all the time.He kept muttering in his mouth, "Your Majesty, please forgive me, I don't know anything."

Zi Yechen's face darkened, "Take it down and chop it up!"

After the words fell, two powerful guards of Kong Wu immediately came up to set up the abbot of Baoguang Temple, and when he was about to drag him out, a clear voice stopped him: "Wait a minute!"

Mengli turned to face the emperor, and said: "My concubine implores the emperor to take back his order. God has the virtue of good life. Today is a grand ceremony for offering sacrifices to heaven. It is not suitable to slaughter living beings in the pure place of Buddhism."

The one in Queenstown in front of you is that dandy who everyone hates?When did you learn to intercede for others?When did you become unhappy, not in a hurry, not anxious or irritable.How come he found her so strange, yet he couldn't help admiring her.

Zi Yechen looked at Mengli, feeling very puzzled in his heart, or did he never know the person in front of him well?
wrong!What did he do to know her!
Zi Yechen tried his best to keep his breath calm, and said: "Since the queen begged for mercy, I will not kill you, but capital punishment is inevitable, and living crimes are inevitable. I will remove you from the position of abbot and hand it over to the Ministry of Punishment for the time being."

When the abbot heard this, he knelt down gratefully, kowtowed and said, "Thank you, the emperor, for not killing me, and thank you, the empress..." He never thought that the empress would intercede by herself, when two guards were about to take him down, passing by When the queen was beside him, in order to repay the kindness of the empress, he broke his heart and whispered a word to the empress.

Immediately afterwards, it was overwhelmed by a burst of intense and high-pitched voices, "The empress is really the incarnation of the gods. It is a blessing to have this empress, and the country will surely prosper. Long live the emperor, and the empress is blessed..."

At night, the starry sky is bright, the flowers and trees are still full of vitality, and the clouds break through the moon and the flowers play their shadows.

In the brightly lit Fengyi Hall, each person said something to make the night lively. Mengli changed those cumbersome headdresses and phoenix robes, and put on a light white dress with green edges. She leaned on the back of the chair and looked at Xi'er. With her hips on her hips, she proudly described what happened today vividly and vividly. The corner of her mouth couldn't help but smile slightly, "You girl, stop being so talkative. If you say that again, I'm not like a god."

"Everything Xi'er said is true. Seeing that scene, Xi'er was so frightened that she broke into a cold sweat. Fortunately, the lady is protected by the gods." Xi'er obediently handed the lady a cup of steaming fragrant tea, and said.

"The master is protected by the gods, so he will definitely be able to stand firm in the harem." Qiu Shui also said with a smile, the more she looked at the empress, the more she liked them, and she never treated them as lowly servants on weekdays. Be happy for your master.

"That's right, no one will dare to underestimate the master in the future." Xiao Guizi stood aside with a plate of sweet-scented osmanthus cake and said happily.

Listening to what they said, Mengli raised her eyebrows. This is just a phenomenon learned in physics class before. Mengli took a sip of tea, then picked up a piece of pastry and put it in her mouth, "Actually, this is not the protection of the gods. It's just letting me use some clever tricks to get away with it."

As soon as the words fell, several people looked at the empress dumbfounded, only Piaoxue looked calmer, and said in a low voice: "The suspense is in the pot of oil, right?"

After listening to the whole story, the only thing she was curious about was what Xi'er said about what the mother ordered her to do. Although she didn't understand what was going on, it should have happened here, right?

"Pour the oil and vinegar into the pot and let it stand for a while. Because of the density, the vinegar will sink and the oil will float on top of the vinegar. In fact, the boiling point of oil is very high, and it takes a long time for a pot of oil to boil. The boiling point of vinegar is also much lower than that of oil, which creates the illusion that the vinegar in the lower layer boils, causing the oil in the upper layer to also roll. In fact, the oil temperature at that time is still very low, and it will not cause harm to the human body. .”

They all nodded their heads half-understood, but their little faces were full of admiration, no one would have thought that oil and vinegar could produce such an effect, and Xi'er even exclaimed: "I see, miss, you are really amazing!" !"

"Okay, don't talk about this in the future, Piaoxue, leave me something to say, everyone else should go back and rest." Mengli waved her hand, signaling them all to go down, only Piaoxue remained.

"Master, do you have any orders?" Piaoxue asked respectfully.

Mengli raised her eyes and looked at Piaoxue in front of her. She was indeed a smart woman, otherwise she would not have been promoted to a female officer after three years in the palace, but Mengli really liked the delicate observation of things around her. Observe for a while, maybe it will be your good helper.

"Piaoxue, you have been in the harem for a long time, do you know all the people in the East Palace?"

"I don't know if the master wants to ask the little master."

"Tell me everything you know." Meng Li put down the teacup and said.
