Dongyang kneeled in front of the statue of Laojun in the Taoist temple, and was in a bad mood.

The guards who mobilized the Taoist temple blocked the King of Qi on the wilderness suburbs and used their power to suppress the people. After slapped the King of Qi smoothly and readily, Dongyang ordered to return to the Taoist temple, sit alone in the princess chariot, and then... while crying, he slapped his palms. The slap was too heavy, and the King of Qi's face hurt, and Dongyang's hands were also very painful. The tender white hands, like jade onion, were all red, a little numb and a little hot.

After returning to the Taoist temple, Dongyang even knelt in front of Laojun's statue and refused to get up, saying that he had violated the precept of anger and had done evil things that hurt people. He wanted to apologize for Laojun and reflect deeply on himself.

So, Dongyang, who felt guilty, knelt down in front of Laojun statue and recited the scriptures silently.

In front of Laojun's statue, Dongyang was full of guilt, his eyes were half closed, and his cherry lips kept squirming, but he was reciting the Taoist "Laozi's Western Sutra".

"... The cult's righteous words should all be natural. Therefore, there are good and bad luck, and the seed roots should be carried out. If there is something like feeling, the seed core will be seen..."

This is the "evil and righteous chapter" in the "Xisheng Sutra". It is Taoism that teaches the world to be good. The general idea is that all things in the world are for themselves and will be achieved in nature, so good and evil will be rewarded. Therefore, those who practice Taoism should plant good roots, etc. This passage of scripture, Dongyang has been silently reciting this passage for several hours, but the guilt on his face still remains unabated.

It really made Dongyang suffer. He was in his twenties and had never had any disputes with people since he was a child, let alone slap people in the face. After Dongyang drew the Queen of Qi, he was so scared that he returned to the carriage. Thinking of his identity as a monk, thinking about the shrew when he was trying to slap people just now. Dongyang, who had been given the top royal tutor, was ashamed and couldn't tell the reason, and he started crying for no reason.

After returning to the Taoist temple, he washed his hands, changed his clothes and took a bath. He knelt in front of the statue of Laojun and sincerely apologized for several hours.

Seeing Dongyang's heart was as calm as water, Lu Liu stumbled a few times and said silly: "Your Highness, you don't have to blame yourself too much. King Qi... He is not a good person after all..."

Dongyang ignored her and kept reciting scriptures.

"Oh, Your Highness, you really don't have to feel guilty. The actions of King Qi over the years. I have found out clearly in Chang'an City that you beat up a bad person and are just practicing the way for heaven. If Laojun knew about the nine heavens, he would definitely praise you for doing beautiful things..."

The hall suddenly became quiet. Dongyang stopped chanting scriptures, opened his eyes and looked at the green willow, and slowly shook his head.

"Whether King Qi is a bad person or not has nothing to do with me. I reflect on myself. Although it is for Li... Li's Ang, I have also committed anger and resentment. Monks planted evil consequences by themselves and paid for them by themselves. Not only do they recite scriptures, they also have to do more good deeds to overcome this evil deed, so that they can practice without any obstacles and eliminate the demons in their hearts..."

Green Willow listened to Dongyang's divine nagging and blinked her big eyes in a daze.

"But... Your Highness, you have been kneeling for a few hours, and you don't eat or drink. Your health is not good at all. If you continue like this, you will get sick..."

Dongyang shook his head firmly: "I am sick and I am destined to me. God is the result of the evil deeds. If a serious illness can overcome this evil deed, it would be a good thing to be sick. Green willow, stop talking. I will kneel in front of Laojun's statue for seven days and seven nights before I can get rid of my inner demons and relieve my guilt..."

Lu Liu stomped her feet in a hurry, but seeing Dongyang Daoxin's firm appearance, she had no idea for a moment and had to quietly exit the hall.

When Dongyang was left in the hall, Dongyang sighed quietly, then closed his eyes and recited the scriptures again.

Not long after, Lu Liu suddenly jumped and ran into the hall again. Dongyang frowned slightly dissatisfiedly. He was about to scold him, but when Lu Liu smiled happily, "Your Highness, Your Highness, Marquis Li is here, waiting outside the gate..."

"Hmm?" Dongyang was stunned.

"Oh, Mr. Li, Mr. Li Su and Mr. Li! You won't even see him, right?" Lu Liu said anxiously.

Dongyang looked happy, and his white teeth couldn't help but bit his lower lip, and the joy and resentment in his eyes were repeatedly intertwined.

How long has it been since the Li family happened to me?

"Your Highness, Your Highness..." Green Willow asked mischievously with a smile on his eyes: "Would you like to go back to Mr. Li? He said that your highness is determined to practice Taoism and will not see a foreigner. What if he asks him to come again in seven days?"

After saying that, Green Willow turned around and wanted to leave.

Dongyang was so entangled that he looked up at the majestic and kind golden statue of Laojun in front of him, turned his head and looked at the direction of the Taoist temple gate. His lower lip was almost bleeding, and his expression was still hesitant and struggling.

"Your Highness, I... I'm really going back to Marquis Li!" Lu Liu came from behind with a teasing and smiling voice.

"Wait... wait, Green Willow!" Dongyang finally couldn't help calling.

Green Willow giggled and stopped.

Dongyang turned around and his expression became more and more entangled. He struggled to bow to Laojun like a Taoist bow and whispered: "Laojun is here, you are powerful. My disciple just said that he would repent for seven days and seven nights, but he...he is here again. Do you think... should you go out to see him?"

Laojun seemed to have no reaction, and still looked down at the joy of all beings with kindness and compassion.

Dongyang sighed sadly and blinked, "What better than... I will tell you a divination. If the yang faces up, you will go out to see him. If the yin faces up, you will not allow the disciple to go out. What?"

After saying that, he didn't care whether Laojun agreed or not. Dongyang took a cup of scent from the incense table. The so-called "scent cup" is a pair of cashew-shaped divination tools, which are used by Taoists to divine good and bad luck, and ask heaven for things... feudal superstitious products?

The squid cup was originally a pair, and this thing was also called "Holy Gua". She only took one in Dongyang and threw it gently on the ground, but it disappointed her. She saw the squid cup lying quietly on the ground with its dark face facing up.

Dongyang became even more confused. He bit his lower lip and hesitated for a while. Suddenly, he said, "Laojun is above. The hexagram I just named... Is it good not to count? I want to take it again... I ask Laojun to forgive me."

Lu Liu stood outside the hall in shock and looked at the dignified and gentle princess, and was playing tricks with the gods... Lu Liu opened her almond eyes in shock and looked at Dongyang's back in disbelief.

Destroy your views! What's wrong with Your Highness?

Dongyang not only played tricks, but also played tricks three times in a row. It was not until the fourth time that the sky felt sorry for the sun. Dongyang's eyes lit up and he smiled excitedly: "Thank you for your fulfillment. I will know that you will definitely agree..."

Green Willow sighed to the sky. This scoundrel is so good that Laojun knows what he knows above the nine heavens. On sunny days, a thunder will drop down to kill her.

"Then... the disciple went to see him? I will apologize to Laojun when I come back."

After saying that, Dongyang seemed to have received Laojun's resentment. He respectfully bowed to Laojun's statue, then stood up and turned his head, with his small chest high. He stood up and walked towards the gate with confidence, and his body was filled with inexplicable confidence that emerged from somewhere. His steps were getting faster and faster. When he was about to reach the gate, Dongyang was almost trotting.

Stepping out of the threshold of Taoist temple, Dongyang's breathing was a little rapid, and from a distance, he saw Li Su standing quietly under a locust tree in front of the door, smiling at her, his eyes as clear and gentle as ever, with a hint of undetectable doting.

The guards on duty outside the door saluted her one after another. Dongyang's pretty face turned red, he nodded majesticly, and then walked side by side with Li Su on the path at the entrance of the village.

The guards had long been accustomed to it and consciously did not disturb the meeting between Marquis Li and His Highness the Princess. Since Li Su returned to Chang'an from Xizhou, he has become a frequent visitor to the Taoist temple. The guards did not know what instructions they had received, and no one else was allowed to enter the Taoist temple, but they chose to completely ignore Li Su.

Li Su and Dongyang walked slowly along the path side by side until they left the Taoist temple gate so far that they could no longer see the guards. Dongyang suddenly went crazy and raised his little pink fist and beat him hard, pounding and cursing.

"You bastard, you blame you, you blame you! I not only broke my promise in front of Laojun, but also cheated... it is all blamed!"

Li Su was beaten inexplicably by this beat, and quickly grabbed Dongyang's hand with his eyes and said in surprise: "Hey! Are you crazy or have you eaten the wrong thing?"

***************************************************************************

Tai Chi Palace, Ganlu Hall.

Li Shimin leaned against the soft couch, and underneath his body a complete black bear skin made of nitrogen, and two basins of charcoal fires were burning next to it. The hall was as warm as spring.

But Li Shimin's mood at this moment was as cold as the weather outside the hall.

The eunuch Chang Tu stood in front of Li Shimin, standing silently with expressionless face. Li Shimin's face was gloomy and his eyes were chilling.

"...So, the prince secretly sent an assassin to do this, and then deliberately blamed King You of Qi?"

"Yes." Chang Tu bowed.

"Where is Li Su? After returning from Xizhou, did he become cowardly? He could bear this breath even if his father was stabbed?" Li Shimin asked coldly.

"I don't know, but yesterday afternoon, a murderer took the prince and led the left guard commander He Jiliang to kill He Jiliang in front of the East Palace in the open space in front of the East Palace gate. He Jiliang was the mastermind of the assassination of the father of the Marquis of Li County... After this case, the Eastern Palace guards hurriedly pursued the murderer, but were stopped by the imperial guards of the East Palace. His Royal Highness never mentioned this matter again, nor did he send anyone to pursue the murderer."

Li Shimin's face was still gloomy, but the disappointment in his eyes was less, and he nodded slowly: "Li Su... is so violent, but his technique is much smoother than the old Taoist a few years ago. But... Humph! What he did is more lawless!"

His expression was gradually replaced by deep disappointment and anger. Li Shimin held his forehead and shook his head, sighing: "No one of my sons... has ever been successful. The prince pretended to be a good child these days, but in the end he showed his tail. With such a huge country, I really don't know the future..."

Halfway through the words, Li Shimin suddenly stopped and didn't say anything, but his expression was filled with sadness and anxiety.

Chang Tu looked at His Majesty the angry and worried Emperor, and his bare face was also moved.

"Report to Your Majesty, there is one more thing..."

Li Shimin held his forehead and waved weakly: "Tell me, what other good children have done to harm the world..."

"It's not a harm to the will of heaven. After the prince assassinated Li's father and blamed His Highness the King of Qi, the Marquis of Li County was not trapped. However... Princess Dongyang in Taiping Village was trapped. She mistakenly thought that it was His Highness the King of Qi who sent someone to assassinated Li's father. In order to help the Li family stand up and prevent the Marquis of Li County from causing a major disaster, Princess Dongyang ordered more than 700 imperial guards of Princess Qi's mansion that day, and intercepted His Highness the King of Qi who left the capital to Qizhou in the middle of the road. And... Her Highness personally took action and slapped His Highness the King of Qi several times."

"ah?"

Even His Majesty Tian Khan, who had not changed color after Mount Tai collapsed before, was stunned when he heard this and looked disbelief.

"Dongyang...beat people?"

After pausing for a moment, Li Shimin asked unwillingly: "Are you doing it wrong? The Dongyang who became a monk in Taiping Village? "
