Chapter 120 I Grow Old with the Holy Monk (3)
"Okay, okay, I know that the princess definitely doesn't like him!" Sang Tian hugged Xia Qingli's arm and shook it gently.
Xia Qingli covered her lips and chuckled at her cute and coquettish appearance. She gently scratched Sang Tian's nose with her fingers, "You just know how to talk nonsense!"
The two of them were talking and laughing, and their bell-like laughter filled the carriage.
Next to their two carriages was another simple-looking carriage. Compared with the two carriages, the one next to them looked very shabby.
Inside the car, Guan Yi closed his eyes tightly, holding cinnabar lotus Buddhist beads made of sandalwood in his hand. The faint light coming in cast a faint luster on the dark red Buddhist beads.
The little monk riding with Guan Yi frowned in displeasure when he heard the laughter coming from the carriage next door. Why were the women in the palace so noisy?
"Holy monk, I will ask them to keep their voices down so as not to disturb your meditation!"
Guan Yi still closed his eyes and raised his hand to indicate that it was not necessary, "Laughing is human nature, it does not affect why we two should stop it."
Guan Yi's voice is as gentle as the spring breeze, and listening to it will make people feel a sense of reverence for him for no reason.
The little monk blushed and lowered his head in shame.
In order to ensure the smooth progress of the blessing ceremony, the emperor even built a temple for Guanyi in the palace. He originally wanted Guanyi to live in the palace for a long time but was rejected.
The emperor looked at the handsome man in front of him with a look of regret and sighed helplessly, "Since the holy monk has decided to leave, I will not try to persuade him to stay. If the temple needs anything, please let me know."
Guan Yi nodded and agreed, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Sang Tian and Xia Qingli didn't know that the emperor was with Guan Yi, so they ran in, each holding a cat.
Eunuch Su, who was guarding the door, had no time to stop Sang Tian before he opened the door and ran in, holding Xia Qingli's hand.
"Father, look at what interesting things my sister and I encountered in the Imperial Garden!"
As soon as Sang Tian finished speaking, she suddenly saw Guan Yi sitting opposite the emperor. Before she could react, Xia Qingli grabbed her wrist and pulled her to her knees. The two cats also took the opportunity to escape through the door.
Eunuch Su thought to himself that he was doomed. He was going to be scolded by the emperor that night for not being able to stop the two young ladies.
"Nonsense! Don't you know that I have an important matter to discuss with the holy monk today?!"
The emperor slammed the table angrily with such force that the water in the teacup on the table spilled out onto the ground.
The emperor shifted his gaze to Xia Qingli and scolded, "Qingyu has always been a fool, how could you join in the fun today!"
Xia Qingli didn't want Sang Tian to be scolded along with her, so she lowered her head and wanted to take the initiative to admit her mistake. Just before she was about to speak, Sang Tian knelt down on her knees and took a few steps forward.
"Father, I was the one who dragged my sister there! It was my fault!"
The emperor picked up the book on the table and threw it at her. Sang Tian subconsciously dodged sideways, which made the emperor even angrier and he said he would punish her no matter what.
Just as the emperor was about to punish Xia Qingli, his eyes suddenly rolled back and he fainted.
The eldest princess fainted and the emperor forgot about punishing Sang Tian for a moment, and hurriedly asked Eunuch Su to call the imperial physician.
Guan Yi also stood up and said goodbye, "Your Majesty, I will leave first."
The emperor nodded quickly and agreed, thinking in his heart that he could not let the monk watch any longer.
Sang Tian originally thought that Xia Qingli fainted on purpose so that she would not be punished, but when the imperial physician arrived, it turned out to be true.
It was only from Sang Tian, the palace maid who served Xia Qingli, that she learned that Xia Qingli had been weak since childhood and had relied on drugs to survive all year round.
After the imperial physician came to diagnose Xia Qingli, he said that it was because Xia Qingli was too anxious that the blood rushed to her heart. Sang Tian understood that she was afraid that her father would punish her and her anxiety had recurred.
