Nongmen Rice Flower Fragrance

Chapter 489
Arriving at the foot of Yunshui Temple, looking at the steps that seemed to be entering the clouds, Li Xin finally understood why Hanrui said it was difficult to walk.

Indeed, with so many steps, it is really a bit strenuous to walk up, even horses and carts can't go up, so you can only walk by foot.If Yunshui Temple is really good, then the devout people may really be willing to go all the way.

However, it gradually declined, and without the weather of the year, naturally few people came to suffer such a crime.After all, there are many other temples and nunneries, many in the capital, and many around the capital.There are also quite a few people who are at the peak of incense, and there is no need to come to a decaying Yunshui nunnery.

After all, rich people are often pampered, so they are willing to walk so many roads.Even on weekdays, when walking on a flat road, you have to be supported by someone, and there are carriages and sedan chairs when you go out, so you don't need to walk.

"It turns out that Yunshui Temple is in such a place!" Li Xin sighed.Although there are many steps, they are all bluestone slabs, so it is not difficult to walk!Compared with ordinary mountain climbing, it is easier to walk.

It's nothing to her, running around in the mountains is a very common thing for her, besides, working in the fields is much more tiring than this.Just not to mention labor, she has suffered a lot in martial arts.

"Is the girl really going? This is too high." Caixia frowned.Such a journey is easy, she doesn't mind taking it, but the girl is pregnant with a child!If something really happened to the girl, she would be the one to die.

"It's okay, let's walk up slowly! If I really can't walk anymore, I will tell you." Li Xin smiled and walked up the steps first.

Everyone had no choice but to follow, and the guards walked in front and back to protect Li Xin.In fact, it was just in case. In such a place, no one would dare to attack the master casually.The scenery along the way is very good, there are many evergreen trees, even this world is lush and verdant.

There are a lot of peaches and plums mixed in, and the flowers of peaches and plums are already in full bloom. There are clusters here and there, which is very beautiful.

The peach blossoms are crimson and the pear blossoms are snow-white, together with the green trees, it is really a beautiful scenery.Enjoying the scenery along the way, I don't think it is difficult to walk, and it seems that I will arrive before I know it.Hanrui and Caixia breathed a sigh of relief when they finally saw the gate of Yunshui Temple.

"Is the girl okay?" Caixia looked at Li Xin carefully.Although the girl's body has always been very good, better than that of their servants, but it is different now.

"It's okay, don't worry!" Li Xin said with a smile.She didn't feel very tired, and her stomach was fine.

As soon as the group entered Yunshui Nunnery, Hanrui saw Concubine Liu's maid, and that maid hurriedly came up to greet her.

"The imperial concubine is here! Our master is waiting behind, the imperial concubine will come with the slave!" The servant girl said with a smile.

Li Xin and the others also followed the servant girl, this Yunshui Temple is really big, although it is a little faded, it still looks like it used to be.No wonder the incense was so prosperous in the past. It turned out that such a nunnery fell down like this for some unknown reason.

The stone-stacked landscaping in the nunnery is no longer an ordinary nunnery, it looks like an exquisite garden.The main halls in the front are very majestic and solemn, while the residences in the back are like rich and noble houses in the world of mortals.

Although it hasn't been repaired much, it still looks clean.The incense is not in full bloom, but it shows a rare tranquility.

After walking for a long time, it became more and more remote, and then stopped in a very secluded small courtyard.The small courtyard is cleaned very cleanly, and it is also somewhat popular. It seems that there are people living there all the time.It's just that it's a bit dilapidated, and I'm afraid it's in the deepest part of Yunshui Temple.

Li Xin took a few glances at the small courtyard, and then heard the sound of a baby crying from inside the room, but he did not expect that there were children in the nunnery.

The road to Yunshui Temple is not easy, but there are still people who bring babies here?

"Master is inside, Shi Zifei, let's go in!" said the maid leading the way.

Li Xin nodded and walked in with Hanrui and Caixia, some guards stayed outside, and two followed them.The room was a little dark, and there was a moment of discomfort coming in from the outside.After a while, Li Xin finally got used to the darkness in the room. After taking a look, the windows were all closed and even the curtains were drawn. No wonder it looked dark.

Not only was it dim, but there was also a sudden feeling that it was about this time, and the very cold season had actually passed.It's still relatively warm here in Yunshui Temple, otherwise I wouldn't feel that the spring is already blooming.

It's just that there are still a few charcoal pots burning in this room, so it will feel stuffy no matter what.

Li Xin finally got a clear view of Concubine Liu lying on the bed, but at this moment, Concubine Liu seemed to be a different person, and she couldn't see her previous appearance anymore.He was wearing plain clothes, and his hair was only combed in a very simple bun, with only two silver hairpins, showing a rare sobriety.

But it's not bad to be more plain. In the past, Concubine Liu was always so bright and compelling, but now she looks a bit more elegant.

However, his complexion was very bad, his face was pale with some gray, which was very shocking.Li Xin was also a little bit surprised. It's not like she didn't understand at all.Even if she doesn't know medicine, she also knows that this is a person whose life is not long.

How long has it been!Why did side concubine Liu become like this?Didn't the Liu family take good care of her?

"You're here!" Concubine Liu smiled softly and peacefully.It's really different. In the past, she was always so flamboyant, even a little domineering, and she felt a little mean, but she didn't see such a gentle and quiet look.

"You...how did you become like this?" Li Xin sighed and sat down on the stool beside the bed.

"You think I've changed a lot, don't you?" Concubine Liu smiled, holding the swaddle in her hand and patting it lightly, the child stopped crying.The black grape-like eyeballs are rolling slowly, very cute.

It was only then that Li Xin noticed the baby in Concubine Liu's arms, and she leaned over to take a look, it was a very cute baby.Not shy at all, he smiled at her and spit bubbles out of his mouth, so cute.Looking at such a child, I am afraid that no one would dislike it, Li Xin felt that her heart was completely softened.

"This is……?"

"My lord's child." Concubine Liu gently stroked the child's little face. "After I left the palace, I knew that I was pregnant, and I didn't dare to let the Liu family know, so I moved to live in Yunshui Temple. Neither the prince nor the Liu family knew about the existence of the child."

"Is this what you asked me to come here specifically to tell me?" Li Xin hugged the child from Concubine Liu's arms, but the child did not cry and was very obedient.

"That's right! That's what I'm asking of you. It turns out that I've lived so many years in a domineering way, thinking that everything in the world can go my way." Concubine Liu smiled wryly. "It wasn't until I left the palace that I suddenly felt that I really had nothing. Those family members who loved me, and the empress dowager who always favored me from above, just regarded me as a pawn.

"When I saw that jade seal, I knew that I was already an abandoned son of the Liu family. The Liu family, like the palace, wanted to force the prince to die. If the prince didn't die, they wanted to make him turn against him. Take away Prince Xiang's Mansion. I dare not let them know about the existence of the child, but the prince is not in the capital, so I can't think of anyone."

"The child has the blood of the Liu family after all! Even if they are cruel, they may not hurt a child!" Li Xin was a little puzzled.No matter how you say it, Concubine Liu is also the daughter that the Liu family loves in every possible way. Even if she was once regarded as an abandoned child, she may not really be able to tolerate her!

Besides, now that Concubine Liu has nothing to do with Prince Xiang's Mansion, Concubine Liu may not be desperate like this!
There is also a child, although it belongs to Yin Yi, but it also has the blood of the Liu family!

"I really don't know what to say about you. You really feel that you are not from this world." Concubine Liu laughed. "A family like us only cares about benefits, so they don't pay attention to bloodlines. As long as it can be exchanged for benefits, what is the death of a child!"

"You mean, they will use their children to force the prince to submit?"

"That's right! So the child can't fall into the hands of the Liu family, let alone the emperor. I really have no choice, although I know that I have done so many things to be sorry to you before, and I really feel sorry for you. I'm sorry. I just hope that you will save our child for the sake of the prince." Concubine Liu knelt on the bed and kowtowed to Li Xin a few times.

"You..." Li Xin suddenly felt that this woman is a poor person after all, but at this point, there is no one around her that she can trust.But Yin Yi is also on the expedition, and he doesn't know when he will come back.

If it wasn't for the fact that there was no other way, Concubine Liu would not have thought of her!
"Why don't I want my child to grow up by my side, but I'm only a few days away. I can't wait for the prince to come back." Concubine Liu burst into tears, "Perhaps, the prince will not want to see me in this life."

"It's not like that." Li Xin shook her head. "My lord wants you to leave Prince Xiang's mansion, but I just hope that the Liu family can accept you and take good care of you. If something happens to him, she won't be implicated. He knows that he and the palace are going to fight to the death. "That man Yin Yi!
Regardless of whether he really never loved Concubine Liu, he still didn't want anything to happen to her.Such a man!Why are you always thinking of others.
