Chapter 144 The Truth About Arson
The monk advised her to report the matter to the authorities for investigation, which might help her find her daughter as soon as possible. After all, although the temple was bustling with people, only a few people could get close to Madam Yu in the pilgrims' room at night.
Let the police arrest the relevant people and interrogate them, perhaps they can find out what is wrong.
Madam Yu said, "This child was born in a temple, and was also lost in a temple. Perhaps it was the Buddha's arrangement. My fate with this child is just a few days. Nothing can be forced. I will try my best to find it, but if I can't find it, it is also God's will."
She climbed the mountain for several days, still having not recovered from giving birth, and searched everywhere but couldn't find it.
So he lit a lamp for his daughter in front of the Buddha.
I wish my child can reach the other side soon.
He also donated a large sum of money for incense.
Then he left the temple.
An old nanny beside Madam Yu was even more grief-stricken than Madam Yu. She did not go down the mountain with her husband and jumped off a cliff and died that day.
The monk in charge of reception at the time found Madam Yu's behavior inhumane and difficult to understand. The abbot told him, "Everything in the world is predestined. If she doesn't force it, neither can we. Even if the baby girl is found and returns to the Yu family, it may not be a blessing."
After Madam Yu left, the monks in the temple continued to search for some time, turning the mountain over and over again but still unable to find it, so they gradually gave up.
Later I heard that the Yu family adopted another baby girl.
Madam Yu was very kind to the baby girl.
The monks had seen all kinds of pilgrims. Although they thought Madam Yu was strange, there were many people who were even stranger than her. As time went by, they stopped mentioning this matter.
"I only learned about these things when I met the old monks in the temple and chatted with them later. I didn't know that Madam Yu had lost her daughter eighteen years ago, and the monks in the temple didn't know either. The baby girl was right beside me."
Huizhen said this with great regret about the fate of the world.
At that time, Huizhen lived in another valley a few miles away from the temple. He had just been ordained as a monk by an old nun in an abandoned temple.
One day, a hunter from the village brought a baby girl, saying that he had found her in the mountains.
The baby girl looked like she had just been born. Although she was weak, her swaddling clothes and clothes were very delicate, which was not something an ordinary family could have.
Master Huizhen and his disciple were compassionate and adopted the baby girl, feeding her with rice soup. At the same time, they asked someone to go to the city to inquire about the family who had lost a child.
After not hearing anything for a few months, the baby girl gradually grew up and was not so weak anymore.
It happened that a familiar pilgrim wanted to adopt a girl named "Zhaodi". Huizhen and his apprentice knew that the other party was a kind-hearted person, so they handed the baby girl to him.
The baby girl lived with the young couple in the capital. The couple set up a small stall to make a living, and the baby girl was placed next to the stall to lie. Although she was exposed to the wind and sun, she was teased and fed by her parents. The couple longed for a son and treated her well.
Huizhen passed by the stall one day and saw the little girl growing up. She was holding a rattle and smiling happily in the rocking chair woven by her adoptive father. She felt completely relieved.
When the girl was about two years old, the couple returned to their hometown to attend a funeral and never returned to Beijing.
When Huizhen saw Feiwan again, it was more than ten years later, and Feiwan had been a maid for a long time.
By that time, Huizhen's old nun had already passed away, so she entered a nunnery in the city and became the abbess. She happened to see Feiwan on her way to worship Buddha and recognized the faint dragonfly-shaped birthmark on her wrist.
The birthmark is very light, almost the same color as the skin, and may not mean anything.
But Feiwan's eyebrows and eyes still vaguely reflect her childhood.
After asking her about her background and hearing her mention the names of her adoptive parents, Huizhen was sure it was her.
What's more, she always carried a purse made from the material of her childhood swaddling clothes, and Huizhen knew that swaddling clothes.
Huizhen already knew that Madam Yu had lost her daughter, so she took Feiwan to the Yu family.
At that time, Mrs. Yu recognized the swaddling cloth at a glance.
I also remember the birthmark on Feiwan's wrist.
"At that time, I thought the reunion of family members was a happy occasion, but who knew..."
Later, she received a letter from Fei Wan, who secretly asked someone to send it to her, saying that she was not living well in the Yu family and wanted to become a nun with her.
She went to visit Yu Mansion specially for this purpose.
But he was coldly dismissed by Madam Yu.
"My lady has now become an honored person in the palace. It can be said that all the hard work has paid off." Huizhen chanted a Buddhist name.
Fei Wan clasped her hands together in return.
"Thank you, Master... But I still can't believe that I am the daughter of the Yu family..."
She hesitated to speak and cried quietly.
Hui Zhen said, "I remember everything, including your appearance, birthmark, and swaddling clothes. Your adoptive parents' names are the same as the couple my master gave birth to. So I believe you are 90% a daughter of the Yu family. The remaining 10% is just a coincidence. Perhaps in the same prefecture and city as your hometown, there is a couple with the same name who also adopted a baby girl with the dragonfly birthmark?"
Everyone knows that such coincidences are almost non-existent.
The virtuous concubine clapped her hands and said, "So, Sister Zhao must be the legitimate daughter of the Minister's Mansion!"
Confused again: "...But if that's the case, why didn't the Yu family acknowledge Sister Zhao? They let her work as a maid in the mansion and the palace, and then openly denied it at the birthday banquet. This seems unreasonable."
Hui Zhen said, "I can swear before the Buddha that I have spoken truthfully. However, Miss Zhao's adoptive parents are dead, and my master has long since passed away. I don't know if the village hunter who found the baby girl is still alive, and there are no witnesses at the moment. If the Yu family denies Miss Zhao, I have no recourse."
"Your Majesty, could you please ask Lord Yu or Madam Yu to come into the palace and ask them?" Concubine Xian asked tentatively.
Xiao Yu's face darkened.
There is only Huizhen's one-sided statement.
There are no witnesses and no physical evidence.
The so-called swaddling cloth is nothing.
Even if Mr. and Mrs. Yu Zhong said that Hui Zhen had recognized the wrong person, no one could prove that Fei Wan was the daughter of the Yu family.
only……
After all, it doesn’t matter whether Fei Wan is a daughter of the Yu family or not.
He likes her whether she is from the Zhang family, the Li family or the Yu family.
The key to this matter is, who wants to burn Huizhen to death?
"Xianfei, since you announced Huizhen's entry into the palace, I believe you have some understanding of the fire in the nunnery?"
Xiao Yu asked calmly.
A hint of pride flashed across Concubine Xian's eyes, but she immediately concealed it with a smile.
"Your Majesty, it's a coincidence. Perhaps it's the Empress Dowager's blessing that the officials of Jingzhao Prefecture have been investigating day and night. Not long after finding Huizhen, they also found the arsonist. However, the confession files in the government office are not for me to review. Your Majesty, please summon the Jingzhao Prefecture Governor for detailed questioning."
"Then declare."
As soon as Xiao Yu gave the order, Cao Bin immediately went out to convey the order and summon officials.
Changle Palace is the inner palace. Xiao Yu got up and left, going to Chenqian Palace to meet with the ministers.
Xianfei naturally followed with Huizhen.
Fei Wan, as the person involved, must also be present.
Following the imperial carriage came the ceremonial guards of Concubine Xian and Fei Wan's small sedan chair, surrounded by palace maids. The procession was huge.
This alarmed many people in the palace.
So, at night, when Fei Wan stayed in Chenqian Palace to accompany the emperor, the news had already reached every corner of the palace.
The Jingzhao Prefecture found out that the fire in a temple on a certain street on the day of the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet was arson. The purpose was to burn to death a nun named Huizhen and put the blame on Minister Yu to silence her.
The purpose was to overthrow Zhao Ronghua, the new favorite in the palace.
Following the clues from the arsonist, it was discovered that the mastermind behind the incident was actually the housekeeper of a relative of the Queen's family!
"Your Majesty, the Queen wishes to see you."
Cao Bin stood carefully outside the inner hall door and reported in a low voice.
Fei Wan was combing the emperor's hair and immediately put down the comb. "I'll take my leave."
But the emperor grabbed his wrist.
"You don't have to leave."
