Chapter 1023 Luck

Chapter 1023: Luck Chapter 1023: Luck Editor: Atlas Studios With people constantly wandering around the guest houses in hopes of seeing Mu Yangling, Cining Temple became lively.

However, Mu Yangling did not forget her original intention of coming here and looked for Elder Nun Huizhen to have her pulse taken.

Elder Nun Huizhen was a registered nun at Cining Temple.

Due to her advanced age, she remained there.

Cining Temple was known for its ascetic practices.

Besides the local residents who came to offer incense, there were also devotees who visited to seek medical advice from the abbot and Elder Nun Huizhen.

The wife of Governor Yan came to know about Elder Nun Huizhen by chance, learning that she genuinely possessed significant skills, and thus she dared to recommend her to Little Madam Xia.

Elder Nun Huizhen was highly advanced in age.

Her eyes were lowered, and her breathing was light, so light that even a martial arts practitioner like Mu Yangling would think that she wasn’t breathing.

From the looks of it, she was probably in her seventies.

Out of respect for the elderly, Mu Yangling and Little Madam Xia bowed to Elder Nun Huizhen.

Elder Nun Huizhen raised her eyelids and smiled slightly.

With her hand stretched out, she said, “Noble Ladies, please take a seat.” “I’ve been told what the two of you are here for.

Please stretch out your hand and I’ll take your pulse.” Mu Yangling stretched out her hand readily.

“Then I’ll go first.” Huizhen nodded slightly with a smile.

She took Mu Yangling’s hand and was about to take her pulse when she saw her palm lines, making her heart skip a beat.

She looked up in surprise and carefully observed Mu Yangling’s face.

Following that, she lowered her head to spread out Mu Yangling’s fingers before taking a serious look at her palm lines.

Mu Yangling coughed lightly.

“Abbess, I’m here regarding my health, not to get a palm reading.” However, Huizhen pretended not to hear her and muttered, “No wonder…” No wonder Aunt-Master ran to the north.

Wasn’t Princess Consort Rong’s hometown in the north?

The sharp-eared Mu Yangling couldn’t help but ask, “No wonder what?” Shocked, Huizhen came back to her senses.

She shook her head slightly as she spoke.

“Your Highness has a charmed life.” She grabbed Mu Yangling’s wrist and closed her eyes slightly to take her pulse seriously.

When Mu Yangling saw this, she did not ask further.

After a while, Elder Nun Huizhen let go of her hand and asked her some more questions.

Then, she said with a smile, “Your Highness, don’t worry.

You are in excellent health.

Your being unable to conceive isn’t because of health problems.” If she hadn’t seen Mu Yangling’s palm lines, she might have simply persuaded her to relax and prescribed her some medicine to calm her heart.

At this moment, she said seriously, “Conception depends not only on one’s health, but also on fate.

When fate arrives, the child will naturally come.” Mu Yangling fell into deep thought.

Elder Nun Huizhen then took Little Madam Xia’s pulse.

Little Madam Xia’s health was not bad, and she only needed to recuperate to get pregnant again.

Elder Nun Huizhen gave Little Madam Xia two prescriptions.

Mu Yangling, on the other hand, looked at Elder Nun Huizhen in deep thought.

From the moment she grabbed her hand and looked at her, she felt that Huizhen felt very much like someone she knew.

It was not her appearance that was alike, but the aura.

This “I’ve uncovered the mystery” expression reminded her strongly of that charlatan beside Qi Xiuyuan—State Preceptor Yuan Hui.

Come to think of it, it had been many years since she last saw that fraud.

In her previous life, Mu Yangling would not have believed these monks and nuns.

Even after experiencing death and reincarnating with her memories intact, she still had many doubts about most monks and nuns in this era.

Most of the time, she did not believe them.

And there was only one of them who could make her half-believe, and that was Yuan Hui!

Could it be that the heavens couldn’t stand it and let her meet another one?

She sized up Huizhen and asked before she was sent out of the door, “Are you, by any chance, acquainted with Master Yuan Hui?” Huizhen sighed and said, “Your Highness is sharp.

I didn’t expect you to think of the State Preceptor.” She looked up and said, “Master Yuan Hui is my Uncle-Master.” Little Madam Xia’s mouth fell open.

She had seen Master Yuan Hui once.

Although she had only seen him from afar, she recalled that Master Yuan Hui’s lips were red and his teeth were white, looking like he was only in his twenties.

How could such a young person possibly be the Uncle-Master of Elder Nun Huizhen who was in her seventies?

Mu Yangling also started hesitating.

Could she have misjudged Yuan Hui?

Was Yuan Hui actually an old man disguised as a young person?

Smiling, Huizhen said, “Uncle-Master has left Zhaoming Temple for nearly 15 years.

He should be doing fine, right?” “With the Imperial Court taking care of his needs, the State Preceptor is naturally doing fine.” Huizhen sighed.

“When Uncle-Master left, he was still young.

He must have suffered a lot over the years…” Mu Yangling and Little Madam Xia heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing that his appearance matched up to his age.

So, Yuan Hui wasn’t a demon or something.

Huizhen only sighed and did not intend to elaborate.

She could sense that her life was going to come to an end in a year or two, so she turned around and took out a letter from her bag to hand to Mu Yangling.

“I originally wanted to ask the Abbot of Putuo Temple to help me send this letter to the capital.

I didn’t expect to be lucky enough to meet the Princess Consort.

Please do me a favor and pass this letter to my Uncle-Master.” Seeing that the envelope was a little yellowed, Mu Yangling could tell that the letter had been written a long time ago.

She hurriedly took it and nodded.

“Elder Nun Huizhen, don’t worry.

I’ll get someone to send the letter to Master Yuan Hui when I get back.” Huizhen sighed.

It was unknown if it was because her wish had been fulfilled or if she was sighing about something else, but she slowly closed her eyes.

Mu Yangling and Little Madam Xia looked at each other and could only push the door open and leave.

“How did you know that she’s related to Master Yuan Hui?” “I guessed it.

The way they lowered their eyes and closed their eyes was too similar.

So it turned out they were taught by the same teacher.” Little Madam Xia couldn’t help but laugh.

At this moment, Elder Nun Huizhen, who was in the room, was not calm.

She rotated the prayer beads quickly.

After doing this for some time, she was still unable to calm down, so she took out the wooden fish and gently knocked on it.

As of now, peace had returned to the country.

Although there was still a large piece of territory that had not been recovered, it was undeniable that the lives of the commoners were gradually improving.

Everyone believed that as long as Emperor Taikang and Prince Rong were given another five to six years, they might be able to start recovering the lost land.

As long as Emperor Taikang and Prince Rong were alive, Great Qi would not be in chaos!

With Uncle-Master presiding over the palace, there was no need to worry about the safety of Emperor Taikang.

As for Prince Rong, he had the extremely blessed Princess Consort by his side.

Even if there was danger, he could avert it.

Buddhism was about letting nature take its course, about leaving things up to fate.

Therefore, she had never understood and was dissatisfied with Uncle-Master’s interference in the secular world.

Uncle-Master felt that he could understand the past, so he interfered everywhere, wanting to save the common people from danger.

Little did he know that the heavens’ will could not be violated.

By revealing the secrets of the heavens, one would pay for it with luck.

Even if his interference resulted in a slight change, the consequences would be unimaginable.

She saw her Uncle-Master interfere and bring forward the chaotic world that their master had predicted by nearly ten years.

Then, she saw him interfere and send Qi Xiuyuan to the throne more than 20 years in advance.

The chaotic world that originally needed more than 10 years to calm down had only taken less than a year.

Countless commoners who should have died in the war were living well.

This world had long been changed by him.

However, she felt that the greater the changes now, the more luck it would use up, and the more suffering her descendants would suffer.

She did not know when the chaotic times that he had changed would arrive.

That was why up till now, she had not sent to the capital the letter her senior brother had handed her.

However, she met Princess Consort Rong today.

If the heavens wanted to take away people’s luck as a price, they would first take it away from those who directly benefited before deducting the country’s luck.

But seeing as Princess Consort Rong was still so blessed, did that mean that the things she had been worrying about would not happen?

Elder Nun Huizhen’s heart, which had been calm for several years, became flustered again.

She was suddenly a little confused and could not see through the heavenly secrets at all.
