Within the palace, the emperor had not slept well the previous night. The empress's corpse had already been wrapped up in a coffin bag. Only a memorial hall had been set up and the world had not been informed of its demise.

Other than the Noble Consort Guo, who had sharp eyes and ears, the other palaces did not know of the news of the Queen's death.

The Emperor rubbed his face. Under Young Eunuch's care, he got up and washed up. He saw himself in the mirror with a drooping beard, and threw a box on the table angrily. Young Eunuch was so frightened that he cried for mercy.

Eunuch Fu looked at the emperor's expression and immediately said with a straight face, "A servant without rules, cannot even handle a small matter. Men, drag him out and beat him twenty times, let him have some memory!"

As soon as Eunuch Fu finished speaking, he dragged them away and beat them up. When he looked again, the emperor's expression was no longer as ugly as it was before, and he slowly said, "Your Majesty, tomorrow the princess and prince consort will enter the palace to express their gratitude. I'm afraid that we can't hide the matter of the Empress anymore, but if it were to be made public, why don't we invite the great archmage of the Monastery of Gratitude over?"

The emperor frowned and didn't answer him. He only asked absentmindedly, "You're not allowed to shave when you're in the middle of a funeral, right?"

Eunuch Fu didn't understand what the Emperor meant, why did he suddenly ask such a question?

"Yes, Your Majesty. My husband will be grieving for a year before his wife dies."

"Alright, then I'll have to keep it." The emperor stroked his beard in distress. It was a bit stinging and very uncomfortable.

"Then what about the Empress's funeral?"

"We can talk about it tomorrow. We can't just let someone point a finger at our nose and say that the princess just got married and her mother died. No matter what, we have to delay her a little." After the emperor finished speaking with a stern face, he instructed, "You keep a close eye on Prime Minister Guo. You should settle this earlier. Also, leave lunch at Hun Chun Palace, send some people to prepare first, I'll head over after the assembly."

Eunuch Fu had a smile on his face. His Majesty's anger had already died down and he was only waiting to receive, the Imperial Concubine's reward. What else could make him happier than this?

When he passed by the Phoenix Nest Hall, he suddenly remembered that he had not found his opponent. He stopped and asked his trusted aide, "Have you still not found Tian Xi?"

"Reporting to the general director, we haven't found him yet. The entire six palaces haven't been able to find him." The Young Eunuch was afraid that the Eunuch Fu would blame him, and he trembled in fear.

"Keep searching. If you want to see someone alive or dead, you need to see their corpse. We don't believe that he will disappear without a trace."

When Yue Ying came to Monastery of Gratitude, there was a legend here. When a little Shamei was cutting firewood at the back of the mountain, she found a heavily injured fox and brought it back to the temple to recuperate.

But ever since the fox came to the temple, the monks in the temple began to disappear one by one.

In the end, little Shamei started to suspect that this fox was the murderer, but late one night, he saw that the abbot had secretly carried his disciple deep into the mountains. The next morning, only the abbot returned.

Little Shamei was very scared every day. She was very worried that her husband would take her to the depths of the mountains and she would never be able to come back.

The fox soothed him with its tail.

The next night, when the old man took his men into the mountains again, the fox took little Shamil into the old man's meditation room and motioned for him to raise the bed.

Little Shamei did not know why the fox wanted him to do this, but the moment he opened the bed, he immediately discovered a secret passage. There was also an old man in the secret passage, and this old man was about to die.

Only now did little Shamei know that a month ago, a seriously injured person had come from the temple saying that he had been persecuted and had to flee to the temple to seek refuge. He begged the old monk to take him in and leave as soon as his wounds healed.

The old man kindly agreed to let him stay, but after his injury he refused to leave and argued with the people in the temple several times.

On the day when little Shamei saved the little fox, this person disappeared and never returned. Everyone said that he was taken away by the mountain god.

But now, when Little Shamei saw the old man, she understood. That person pretended to be the old man, and tossed the disciple that had some enmity with her into the mountains.

Until one day when the old man discovered that he was holding the old man in custody, pretending to be the old man himself, and even wanted to occupy the entire temple.

Little Shamei saved the old man, who relied on his remaining disciples to send the ungrateful man to prison and was sentenced to death by the magistrate.

In the end, the old man took little Shamei as his disciple and taught him everything he knew.

Not long after the little fox's injuries were completely healed, it returned to the forest and became the host of the Monastery of Gratitude.

From then on, the Monastery of Gratitude's incense was burning brightly, everyone said that the incense was very spiritual, and that all the nobles nearby would love to come and offer incense, and that even the palace had matters to attend to, including inviting Monastery of Gratitude's mages.

As Yue Ying walked, she listened to the old man in the tea house narrating the story. There was also a bit of wild interest in it, she could even think of a sad and beautiful story of love, the story of a fox and a little Shame, the story that the demon and the old man had to tell …

After finishing the tea, Yue Ying walked towards the mountain gate. A very quick-witted guest monk, seeing that Yue Ying's attire was not ordinary, hurriedly went up to support him, "Does female benefactor want to burn incense or do you want to please me?"

Yue Ying laughed, "I'm looking for someone. Monk Wuchen and I made an appointment, today I want to listen to his meditation."

The monk hurriedly led her to the meditation room.

Yue Ying was the most curious about when she entered the mountain gate. The protector at the entrance was actually a fox in armor, that fox's eyes seemed very strange.

She said to herself, "Interesting. I've never heard of a Buddhist guardian god using a fox. Maybe this place is different from the habits of Earth."

As they entered a quiet little courtyard, the crisp sounds of a wooden fish could be heard from within.

"My lady, please wait a moment. The Mage is still doing his homework, he still needs the time for an incense stick to burn."

Yue Ying did not make things difficult for him, she only took out a silver ingot and handed it to him, "Help me add some scented oil and help me with my merits."

The guest monk took the silver and said happily, "Don't worry, I will definitely make it good for you!" Buddha has blessed you with the ability to achieve your goals and achieve your goals. "

Yue Ying laughed, and did not take his words seriously.

She didn't have to wait long before Monk Wuchen finished her homework. A young monk came to invite her in.

A kind-looking, slightly fat big monk stood in front of the Buddha statue and politely said to Yue Ying, "My wife, you have seen this poor monk for what reason?"

Yue Ying asked curiously, "Wasn't it that man who asked me to look for you? Didn't he explain it to you? "

Monk Wuchen was stunned, "Are you talking about Benefactor Tian? "This is unfortunate, he had something to do, and went out. He probably never thought that Benefactor would come and did not leave a message. How about I leave a message for you so that Almsgiver can come next time?"

Yue Ying was already very unhappy waiting outside, but that person had actually let go of their promise. She said unhappily, "Let them come, and since I'm not here, why did they bring me here for nothing? Did they think I have a lot of time? "What a dishonest person."
