Chapter 1754 Legs Weakened, Wanting to Kneel
After hearing Zhou Shiyue's words, Lu Zhaoling slapped his hand away in annoyance and said, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Yin Changxing continued, following Zhou Shiyue's words, "I do feel gratified because our little Ling'er has really grown up."
Weng Songzhi smiled and said, "I really had never seen Xiaoling'er get married before. Now that I see you dressed in such a festive outfit after your wedding, coming to the ancestral temple to worship your husband's ancestors, I find this experience quite novel. Moreover, this is a Buddhist place, and all of our sect members are gathered here. Don't you find it a bit novel as well?"
In another hall, monks were chanting sutras while striking wooden fish, and these people from the First Mysterious Sect were chatting.
When Lu Zhaoling heard what they said, she found it rather strange.
"But I remember visiting a few temples when I was little, and the monks there were quite friendly to me."
Yin Changxing's expression didn't look good when he heard this. He snorted and didn't say anything.
He remembered the monks Lu Zhaoling mentioned, but later, when that major event occurred, those monks, along with the people, pleaded with Xiaoling'er to sacrifice herself.
The thought of those things made Yin Changxing feel very bad.
The retired emperor noticed his expression and sensed that he might be thinking of something bad, so he quickly changed the subject, saying, "Zhou Shiyue, why hasn't your brother arrived yet? He's so slow. Go and see him quickly."
The emperor happened to enter the ancestral temple, and he never expected that he would be the target of the emperor's anger before he had even done anything.
As soon as the emperor stepped into the ancestral temple, he suddenly felt his legs go weak and he almost knelt down. Fortunately, the eunuch Qin next to him caught him quickly.
Even Eunuch Qin was somewhat shocked, and asked in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, are you alright?"
The Emperor was startled, and his heart was still pounding. He gripped Eunuch Qin's arm tightly. He could no longer feel anything in his body, but the feeling of his legs going weak and almost collapsing to his knees was still very clear to him.
He said, "I'm fine. I'm probably just feeling a bit weak because I haven't been feeling well these past few days."
But now he refused to let go of Eunuch Qin's hand no matter what, so Eunuch Qin had no choice but to support him all the way.
After a while, the emperor felt his heart beating very fast again. He stopped, covered his chest, and looked up at the ancestral temple in front of him.
He hadn't felt anything when he came to the ancestral temple before; sometimes he even felt a sense of peace. But never before had he felt like this, that everything was wrong as soon as he entered.
At this moment, some monks saw the emperor and came over to pay their respects. When the emperor saw these monks, his heart began to beat even faster for some reason.
At this moment, the emperor suddenly felt an urge to run away.
Just as he was about to turn around, Eunuch Qin held him tightly and asked with some surprise, "Your Majesty, aren't you going in?"
The emperor felt he couldn't bring himself to do it and said he didn't feel comfortable there and wanted to leave immediately.
He felt that saying such things would be a sin against heaven, because this was the ancestral temple of their Great Zhou royal family. If even the ancestral temple made him feel uncomfortable, then was he committing a great treason?
The emperor forced himself to hold back.
However, his expression was somewhat stiff, and his limbs were also somewhat stiff. The questions he asked made the monks feel a little strange.
"Have the Prince of Jin and the others arrived? They're all in the palace now, are they alright?"
A monk bowed and replied, "Your Majesty, the Prince and Princess have arrived. They are currently waiting for Your Majesty in the side hall, and they are both well."
After answering, the monk also felt very strange. What could possibly be the purpose of coming to the ancestral temple?
He suddenly remembered something and quickly replied, "The Emperor Emeritus's memorial tablet is also intact and has not been knocked over."
The monk knew that the Emperor Emeritus's memorial tablet would sometimes fall over, so he thought the Emperor's question was about whether the Emperor Emeritus's memorial tablet had fallen over. He thought he was being clever and replied with that question.
Upon hearing his words, the emperor tried to force a smile, but he couldn't manage it; he felt his face freeze. This feeling was truly terrifying.
"Then I will go to the side hall first and meet with Prince Jin and the others."
The monk found it strange again. The emperor should have gone there first, but he had also felt that Prince Jin and his group were acting strangely before.
Shouldn't we wait until the Emperor and Empress Dowager have all arrived before we pay our respects? The Prince and Princess have already paid their respects, and there's nothing else to do now.
The Emperor went to the side hall, just as Zhou Shiyue was kicked out by the Emperor Emeritus. Seeing the Emperor approaching, Zhou Shiyue raised an eyebrow and suddenly chuckled, saying, "Brother, why do you walk with your hands and feet moving in unison?"
Although his words were sarcastic and not very pleasant, the Emperor felt deeply grateful upon hearing them and seeing him, almost to the point of tears. This was because the stiffness in his limbs seemed to ease considerably upon seeing Zhou Shiyue.
The Emperor was almost ready to rush towards Zhou Shiyue with tears in his eyes.
"Ah Yue, are you really alright?"
When Zhou Shiyue heard him ask this question, he looked at him with some doubt. He could indeed see that the emperor's limbs were a little uncoordinated at this moment, and there were also some beads of sweat on his forehead.
What frightened him? Or what traumatized him? Zhou Shiyue looked at Eunuch Qin questioningly.
Grandpa Qin shook his head slightly, indicating that he didn't know either.
Because the Emperor's behavior just now was really too strange.
The Emperor walked up to Zhou Shiyue, reached out and grabbed Zhou Shiyue's shoulder, intending to pat him twice.
He didn't know why, but he felt that meeting Zhou Shiyue made him feel a little more relaxed.
But before he could even clap his hands down, Zhou Shiyue had already dodged to the side, clearly showing his disdain.
"Brother, you can't just pat someone's shoulder like that."
The Emperor's hand froze in mid-air for a moment before he withdrew it. He looked into the hall and saw Lu Zhaoling and the others.
"The Empress Dowager has also arrived."
When Eunuch Qin turned around, he saw the Empress Dowager being helped in and was momentarily stunned, because the way she was walking now really resembled the Emperor's earlier.
The Empress Dowager was also very flustered at this moment, because the moment she stepped into the ancestral temple, she felt her legs suddenly go weak.
However, the old nanny beside her was quite old and didn't react as quickly as Eunuch Qin, so the Empress Dowager had actually knelt down and her knees were still sore.
