Chapter 2293

Wu Feng smiled, looked at Xiao Bai with infinite doting in his eyes, and said, "Naughty."

In the Mirror of Guanshi, the Queen stood on the bridge, her eyes filled with tears, because Tang Seng's words suddenly gave her a feeling of loss.

But she still did not want to give up. She took a step toward Tang Seng and said, "Brother Imperial Brother, what you fear in your heart should only be those rules and precepts, right?"

"If you are willing to stay in the Western Liang Women's Kingdom, I can abdicate the throne and let someone else become the king of this country. You can leave the matter of fetching the scriptures to your disciples; wouldn't that be great?"

Facing the Queen's approach, Tang Seng immediately took a step back, lowered his head, and dared not look at her.

He felt his heart begin to beat wildly, as if in an instant, it had broken a lifetime of cultivation.

In fact, looking back at that day when he arrived at the palace of the Women's Kingdom, he saw the Queen was so beautiful and had been so attentive in helping him with his affairs.

Her eyes were like a river of spring water. When Tang Seng inadvertently met her gaze at that time, his heart began to ripple slightly.

It was just that Tang Seng and the Queen had always deliberately kept their distance. He had never told anyone that, in fact, he had long since developed worldly desires.

The Buddhist scriptures had long said that love and affection in this world were nothing but flowers in the water and the moon in a mirror.

However, when Tang Seng faced his own heart, he actually began to fear. He was surprised to find that he had actually fallen for this Queen.

This secret could not be seen by anyone else, not even the Queen understood his feelings. If there were anyone who could see through him, it would probably only be the Buddha and Ananda beside him.

The Queen had just taken a step forward, and the scent of rouge from her sleeves wafted over. His heartbeat began to accelerate.

He did not care about the throne, but the Queen's sincerity had completely stirred the feelings buried deep in his heart.

He could not deceive himself. He thought his Zen heart was long settled and that he would never be moved by any woman, but he did not expect that he would be moved after all.

These days, the Queen had taken great care of him, regarding the matter of Marshal Tianpeng's miscarriage, and regarding persuading her own younger sister Die Lan to take them to find Leng Hua, not hesitating to risk her life.

Tang Seng sighed softly, tried to calm his emotions, then raised his head, looked at the Queen, and said, "The journey to the West to fetch scriptures is something the Buddha arranged to verify my Zen heart; I naturally cannot stay here."

When the Queen heard him say this, a look of sadness appeared in her eyes. She did not expect Tang Seng to give her such an answer in the end.

From the first moment she saw Tang Seng, she had fallen deeply in love with him, regardless of his handsome appearance, his compassionate heart, or his elegance in every gesture.

Such a man, even if draped in a kasaya, could not stop the surging feelings she had for him in her heart.

So these days, the Queen had been trying her best to get close to Tang Seng. She had long since formulated a plan in her heart: she would slowly persuade Tang Seng to give up the journey to the West and become her husband.

But she never expected that what she would receive was such an answer from Tang Seng.

She tilted her head and looked at his brows and eyes; she knew she would surely be able to see some clues on his face.
