Chapter 309 Becoming a Monk
Su Yinyin and Lao Yi embarked on their journey home, enjoying the beautiful scenery along the way, which resembled a slowly unfolding landscape scroll.
The rolling green mountains, like a giant dragon winding and coiling, reflect each other with the clear green water, outlining a picturesque landscape.
However, Su Yinyin had no heart to appreciate the beautiful scenery along the way; her heart had already transformed into a bird returning to its nest, eagerly flying towards her baby at home.
The thought of reuniting with her baby soon made her steps lighter and lighter, as if she had wings under her feet, and every step was filled with anticipation and joy.
In fact, ever since all the conspiracies came to light, Su Yinyin has become a thorn in the side of many unscrupulous people.
Those who had attempted to disrupt the stability of the Great Zhou Kingdom and were resentful of the failed conspiracy turned their attention to her, and countless people wanted to take her life.
But Su Yinyin was not afraid at all. On the contrary, she deliberately acted in a high-profile manner, just like lighting a bright lamp in the dark night, making no attempt to hide her whereabouts so that the enemy could easily track her.
Her plan was designed to wipe out these lurking enemies in one fell swoop.
Even if it's impossible to completely eliminate all enemies at once, those with ulterior motives must clearly understand that Su Yinyin is not someone they can provoke or provoke at will.
Escorted by the sixth and seventh brothers, Su Yinyin and the first brother proceeded cautiously.
The sixth brother was agile and nimble, as nimble as a cheetah, keenly detecting any potential dangers ahead.
His eyes were sharp, always alert to the slightest movement around him; no subtle sound or unusual aura escaped his perception.
The seventh brother, on the other hand, was calm and reliable, like an unbreakable bulwark, silently guarding the rear, protecting their journey home and ensuring that nothing went wrong.
His imposing physique served as a solid barrier, inspiring a sense of security and trust.
As they stepped beyond the borders of the Great Xia Kingdom, their figures gradually faded from sight, as if merging with the vast天地 (heaven and earth) and disappearing into this boundless world.
Two days later, Su Yinyin appeared on a quiet and secluded mountain.
On the mountain sits an ancient nunnery, its gates tightly closed, surrounded by tranquility and peace, as if completely isolated from the hustle and bustle of the outside world, like a paradise forgotten by time.
A gentle breeze carries the fragrance of flowers and grass, and the occasional birdsong adds to the tranquility and serenity.
Su Yinyin and Lao Yi slowly walked forward along the winding mountain road.
Su Yinyin gently knocked on the temple door. The sound of her knocking echoed crisply through the quiet mountain forest, breaking the momentary tranquility.
A short while later, the door creaked open, and a pretty young nun peeked out.
Her eyes were pure and clear, like a mountain stream, as she softly asked, "What is it, benefactor?"
A gentle and kind smile appeared on Su Yinyin's face, like the warm spring sun, and she said softly, "Little Master, I would like to see the Little Master Taihui in the nunnery."
The young nun sized up Su Yinyin and Lao Yi. She noticed that they had extraordinary bearing, elegant and composed manners, and exuded a unique aura, making them seem like people with malicious intent.
She smiled and said, "Please wait a moment, benefactor, I will go and inform them for you." With that, the little nun turned and quickly left.
A moment later, the young nun returned with light steps, leading Su Yinyin and Lao Yi into the nunnery.
They walked through a quiet courtyard, where many different kinds of vegetables were planted, and then came to a simple meditation room.
Master Taihui was already waiting in the room. When she saw Su Yinyin, a relieved smile appeared on her face.
She walked forward with light steps and asked softly, "Yinyin, what brings you here? Is something the matter?"
Tai Hui was filled with curiosity. After all, it was Su Yinyin who had brought her here more than a month ago, and now she had suddenly come here, which really puzzled her.
"It's nothing. I was just passing by and thought I'd drop by. We may never see each other again."
Su Yinyin said calmly. As she spoke, she carefully looked around the room.
The room was furnished very simply, with only a bed, a table and a few chairs, and nothing else.
Several simple calligraphy and paintings hang on the wall; though not ornate, they exude an elegant atmosphere.
Seeing such a simple and austere environment, and looking at Taihui's plain nun's robes, Su Yinyin couldn't help but ask, "Imperial Noble Consort, are you used to it?"
Upon hearing the title "Imperial Noble Consort," the young nun Taihui paused slightly, then shook her head gently with a wry smile.
"Now that I have entered the Buddhist order, my past identities are like fleeting clouds. Although this nunnery is simple, it can bring peace of mind, and I am quite used to it."
Her eyes were calm and serene, as if, after experiencing countless trials and tribulations, she had truly let go of all the past glory, wealth, grudges, and passions.
Looking at Tai Hui, Su Yinyin couldn't help but feel a surge of emotions. She had once been a high-ranking, pampered, and privileged imperial concubine, enjoying endless glory and respect.
Now, however, he willingly chooses to live a life of quiet contemplation, a dramatic shift in his fate that evokes a sense of melancholy. "You seem to have a rather open-minded perspective."
Taihui sighed softly, a trace of vicissitude and emotion in her eyes, "After experiencing so much, if I still can't let go, how can I find peace in this nunnery? Yinyin, I am very grateful that you spared my life without holding a grudge."
As Taihui spoke, her thoughts involuntarily drifted back to the ups and downs of the past.
After that secret room, she seemed to fall into a state of chaos. For a period of time, her mind went blank, as if she had lost consciousness, and her soul seemed to be drifting outside her body.
When she slowly woke up, she found herself lying in a bumpy carriage, with Su Yinyin sitting next to her.
Along the way, Su Yinyin calmly told her that all their carefully planned conspiracies had been successfully thwarted.
She also mentioned that her father, sister, and younger sister were either arrested and imprisoned or had already died, and her once glorious family collapsed and vanished in an instant.
In fact, everyone in that secret room, including the emperor, believed that the Imperial Noble Consort was dead. But that was not the case. At the crucial moment, Su Yinyin brought her into the space.
Before entering the space, the person was drugged by Su Yinyin.
Su Yinyin originally wanted to get some useful information from the Imperial Noble Consort, but she was so busy that she forgot about her.
After leaving the capital, she remembered that Su Yinyin couldn't bear to kill anyone, so she decided to have the Imperial Noble Consort become a nun.
Without hesitation, the Imperial Noble Consort agreed to Su Yinyin's arrangement.
