Chapter 771 Snowy Night
The little nun is knocking on the door.
"Your Majesty, can you rest? I beg you to open the door."
Baoxing frowned, got up and went out, walked through the heavy snow and biting cold wind in the courtyard, opened the courtyard door, and shouted: "Didn't your master tell you who lives here? Who gave you the courage to disturb him several times?" ?”
The little nun took a step back in fright, and said timidly, "It's snowing heavily tonight, and it's really too cold. The lady in the courtyard over there can't bear it anymore, and wants to ask the nobleman to show kindness."
"I told you during the day, we don't have extra charcoal!"
"However, if the wife in the courtyard over there freezes to death in the temple, it will be bad for the empress' reputation..." the little nun said weakly.
Baoxing listened, his expression slightly condensed.
This time the empress went out of the palace to fast and pray for three months at Ganquan Temple, all for the sake of the emperor's sin. It is said that it is praying for the people, but it is indeed very bad if it spreads while watching the people next door freeze to death.
At the very least, the good reputation that Yun Dai just gained will disappear in an instant.
Baoxing was devoted to the master and did not dare to make decisions without authorization, so he asked the little nun to wait, and he turned around and came back to tell Yun Dai.
Yun Dai stopped writing and said with a smile: "It seems that Gu Yunxiang really wants to see me."
She put the pen on the pen stand, stood up, stretched her waist, rubbed her wrists, and said, "It happens that I'm tired from writing, so it's good to go for a walk."
"Master, is he going to meet that lowly and vicious person?"
"For so many years, she has been bullying Gu Yundai, living a glamorous and comfortable life, leaving Gu Yundai with nowhere to hide. Now that she is down and out, how can I not go and see her?"
Baoxing thought she was talking about himself, but Yun Dai was talking about the original owner.
When the master was going, he brought the thickest fox fur cloak for her to wrap around. He himself held a lantern in his left hand, and held an oil-paper umbrella for Yun Dai with his right hand to keep out the snow.
Although it was cold outside, the air was crisp.
Yun Dai stepped on the snow and walked out the door, letting the little nun lead the way.
The little nun was overjoyed and hurriedly led the way.
Yun Dai asked her: "Little master puts so much effort into doing things for that person, I don't know what benefit she has given you?"
The little nun was a little embarrassed, he hesitated, and said vaguely: "When a monk does something, he doesn't pay attention to the benefits...to save a life..."
"I don't even believe what my little master said." Baoxing said sarcastically.
Yun Dai smiled slightly.
After leaving the palace, Baoxing's temperament became visibly more lively, unlike the taciturn one in the palace.
The little nun knew the other party's identity and didn't dare to refute, so she lowered her head and didn't dare to say anything.
The two courtyards are very close.
After sending people to the door, the little nun turned around and ran away.
Baoxing took a look at her running back, and said: "The place of Buddhism is also full of copper stink, it's really disgusting."
Yun Dai said: "Most of the little masters at her age didn't take the initiative to become aunts. They were either from poor families who couldn't survive, or they were orphans picked up by the master. I can't ask for that much."
Baoxing stepped forward and pushed open the courtyard door.
This yard is much smaller and more crude.
There is only one room on the left side, which is lit with a bean-sized dim light.
"Your Majesty, be careful, the slave will go and have a look first." Baoxing was very cautious.
Yun Dai nodded, followed behind him, and walked to the door.
Baoxing glanced through the crack of the door and pushed the door open.
It was freezing cold inside.
The only pot of charcoal fire in the house was almost burnt out.
Gu Yunxiang was wrapped in a quilt and curled up on the bed.
