Chapter 419 Unavoidable
Wang Jinyi's heart skipped a beat and she clenched her hands unconsciously.
It really is unavoidable. Since Emperor Qianyuan has said so, then what awaits me is probably the fate of a pawn in the struggle for imperial power!
There was a moment of silence in the Buddhist hall. At this moment, the emperor was like a dormant beast, waiting for opponents to jump out from anywhere at any time.
Like me, there are probably countless witnesses and evidence in my hands...
Wang Jinyi took a breath and met Emperor Qianyuan's deep gaze: "I respectfully listen to your instructions."
Emperor Qianyuan raised his eyebrows slightly. He did not expect that the woman would reveal her identity so directly and hint at her reluctance.
Emperor Qianyuan stood up with one hand on the low table, then stood sideways on the low couch with his hands behind his back.
His voice exploded in the Buddhist hall with majesty.
"The affairs of the royal family are related to the direction of the country and also affect the wealth of all the people. Although you are passively involved and seem helpless, in fact, you can help many people just by telling the truth..."
Wang Jinyi recalled a famous saying and stammered, "All under heaven is the king's land; all the people in the world are the king's subjects. I am just a commoner, how dare I go against the king's will?
I just want to ask for one thing.”
Before he finished speaking, Ouyang Wenche, who had been silent all this time, suddenly stepped forward, stared into Wang Jinyi's eyes, and spoke with an urgency that he himself did not even notice:
"Just do your best and don't expect anything else!"
"Oh! I don't have any extravagant hopes. I just want to avoid getting my family into trouble, and not let my people get into trouble because of me..."
Wang Jinyi was flustered and glanced at Yuqing.
Ouyang Wenche was about to speak, but Emperor Qianyuan raised his hand to stop him.
"You are all my subjects, how can you be implicated innocently? Just wait for my call!"
"Now that I have been ordained, it is inconvenient for me to stay in the Pure Land Temple any longer. I will go to Luoxia Temple to practice in seclusion soon. Is that okay?"
"These ten people will follow you in the future, just to protect you, don't think too much..."
Ouyang Wenche explained in a gentle voice.
Emperor Qianyuan rubbed his brows and glanced at Ouyang, whose eyes were fixed on Wang Jinyi.
I sighed in my heart. The emperor's grandson is still too young. I still have to hold on to bring this "Xiao Yu" out...
Wang Jinyi instinctively took a half step back, raised her head and opened her eyes wide, her heart trembling slightly, and then she and Ouyang's eyes met, and they both froze.
There were memories and appreciation in Ouyang's eyes, while Wang Jinyi felt that the man looked familiar for some reason, and tried hard to search in her brain, who was this person?
Emperor Qianyuan answered her doubts, "Do you still remember him?"
Wang Jinyi looked up inexplicably with a puzzled look on her face, as if asking, who is he?
Emperor Qianyuan looked at his grandson with pity, and a rare, barely perceptible smile appeared on his face.
"Yu'er, you speak for yourself."
Ouyang Wenche's eyes followed Wang Jinyi all the time. Seeing that she had completely forgotten about him, he felt a little lonely, but he still adjusted his mood.
"My surname is Ouyang. Miss, do you remember if there is anyone staying at your home?"
Wang Jinyi looked up and down at the handsome and tall young general in white robes, and the voice in his heart almost blurted out, "Disgusting bastard! This is the annoying guy who lives at home with a male nanny!" ...
At this moment, Emperor Qianyuan looked at the eager expression on the face of his grandson, and then looked at the look of disgust on the face of the girl from the Wang family. What was going on?
His face, which had just been slightly smiling, suddenly became tense.
"Are you Ouyang?"
"Yes! I am Brother Ouyang who lived in your yard back then!"
Emperor Qianyuan slowly heaved a sigh of relief and forced himself to arrange the roles, thinking that he was a brother, well, he had a bit of royal style, that's how it should be!
Wang Jinyi was afraid that her expression of disgust would be too obvious, so she lowered her head and pretended to recall, then raised her head after a while.
"Oh, I remember now..."
The bland reply and application seemed to pour a bucket of cold water on Ouyang Wenche's head. He was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and smiled without comment. None of this escaped Qian Yuandi's eyes.
Unexpectedly, his own grandson would end up in trouble. Emperor Qianyuan already had a plan in mind. He thought that he was just a descendant of a noble scholar and could only be a concubine. It was not worth taking him too seriously.
"You are allowed to cultivate in Luoxia Temple without hair. When the truth comes out, you can return home."
This was the most beautiful sentence Wang Jinyi had heard since he entered the house. He could return home and practice Buddhism with his hair uncut. He was truly an emperor, a wise emperor!
She was so excited that she forgot she was wearing a monk's robe. With a plop, her knees fell heavily to the ground. Forgetting the pain, she slowly fell to the ground with shaking hands, and her forehead fell heavily to the ground.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
The hoarseness and trembling in the voice revealed the panic and sadness in his heart.
Emperor Qianyuan sat back in his seat, looking sideways at the girl kneeling obediently in front of him, then glanced at Ouyang beside him, feeling sorry for his grandson for a second, and then said steadily:
"Go back."
Wang Jinyi stood up and bowed his head, then took three steps back before turning around and leaving the Zen room. There was a rustling sound outside the door along with Ding Yi's voice.
"I am Ding Yi from the East Palace Guards."
The young eunuch opened the curtain, Ding Yi drew out the soft sword from his waist, handed it to the young eunuch, straightened his clothes and walked into the meditation room.
Wang Jinyi walked back against the cold wind without waiting for Ding Yi to go out. He turned into the Yunshuitang alley and almost bumped into Pushan who was rushing out of the alley. Both of them were a little surprised. They each took a step back and asked the other to pass first. In the end, both sides stopped each other.
Putian took the lead and bowed slightly:
"Don't blame me. Tianhan walked a little too fast and almost bumped into Miss Wang. Please forgive me."
Wang Jinyi took a half step back and said loudly and quietly:
"It's alright, Mr. Pushan. I'll take my leave now. I'll be going to Luoxia Temple soon, so we won't run into each other again!"
The smile on Pushan's face froze.
"Miss Wang, I was just about to tell you that I have finished copying, and it is almost New Year, so I will also leave the Pure Land Temple."
"Where can I find you, sir, from now on?"
Pushan hesitated for a while, "I have no official position or job, I am alone, like a floating duckweed, I need to go back to my hometown to worship my ancestors during the New Year, otherwise..."
Wang Jinyi suddenly had an idea and stepped forward and asked loudly,
"Sir, are you interested in being the head of the library? This is my personal property. You just need to be responsible for me. Are you willing to consider it?"
Wang Jinyi stared at Putian, waiting for an answer. Putian also stared at Wang Jinyi and was silent for a moment.
"gentlemen."
The emotion on Pushan's face became more and more obvious, and he said slowly and calmly,
"Miss Wang is still young and doesn't know that I have a bad reputation as an official. You should first say hello to the adults at home!"
"Sir, have you heard of the current patriarch of my Wang family?"
Pu Shan asked in confusion: "Why?"
"He was originally just a scholar who was good at both calligraphy and painting, and was not suitable for managing the Wang clan. But as long as he is willing to accept the position, he will devote himself to management. I think with your talent as the top scholar, it will not be difficult for you to manage a mere library!"
Pushan looked at the girl in front of him who was not even as tall as his chest, and his eyes sparkled...
