Bai Mingwei's hand holding the sesame cake couldn't help but tremble slightly.

The half-eaten pancake almost slipped from his hands.

"Big sister?" Miss Bai looked at her worriedly, "Why do you look so bad?"

Bai Mingwei took a deep breath and waved her hands quickly, "I'm fine..."

"Prince Helian II, is he... going to become a monk in this temple?"

"The royal court of the Helian tribe, there is no other temple except this one." Zou Yun replied.

They knew with a simple thought that the second prince's decision to become a monk in this temple was just an excuse to the outside world.

The real intention is naturally the eldest lady of the Bai family in front of him!

The Second Prince is just infatuated, not stupid. If he pays more attention to the progress of the Helian tribe and the Chanyu in tracking down the murderer, he can guess that there is a great possibility that they have not left the royal court yet, and the most likely hiding place is this temple with the secret passage.

"Miss Wei, Miss Zou Yun." Bai Mingwei asked with a worried look in her eyes: "Should we leave here as soon as possible, or go somewhere else?"

She had no doubt that the Second Prince Helian would take the initiative to expose their whereabouts.

But she was a little afraid to meet the second prince again.

She really didn't know how to face it or how to respond to that feeling.

"We have already planned the route out of the city. We will set off after midnight." Wei Yunlan said softly.

This separation may be forever, "Some things are better said face to face."

Bai Mingwei stood there in a daze for a while, then slowly let out a breath and nodded, "You're right, I should explain it to him and tell him to give up. Simply avoiding it is not a solution."

The arrival of Prince Helian II was faster than expected.

Zou Yun had just returned for more than half an hour when he heard the uniform sounds of horse hooves and footsteps outside the temple.

It was the palace guards who escorted the second prince to the temple gate.

You don't need to climb on the wall to see, just listen to the sound to know that the number of guards is about 50. Even in the royal court, they are guarding so strictly, which shows that King Helian and Princess Helian were scared after the death of the eldest prince, and they were afraid that the second prince would have an accident again.

"The temple is a place for meditation. This prince will stay here to pray for Wei'er. You will stay outside and are not allowed to enter to disturb the tranquility here."

The second prince, Helian Hulin, stood at the gate of the temple and gave orders in a deep voice.

After saying that, he turned and went inside. The two attendants beside him were about to follow him, but he turned around and stopped them with his eyes.

"How can a temple be a place of seclusion and meditation, where is the reason for people to serve you?"

"This prince wants to let the Buddha see my sincerity."

"You two will stay outside as well. No one is allowed to come in without permission."

After saying that, with a look of numbness and despair on his face, as if the sky had fallen, he turned around and continued walking towards the temple.

Behind him, the two attendants stopped walking and could not help but remind him loudly, "Second Prince, don't act on impulse!"

"The princess specifically told me that you should come here to have some quiet time and pray for Miss Wei, but don't be impulsive and follow those bald donkeys in Dayong and shave your hair!"

"I know, stop making noise." The second prince did not turn around, but waved his hands behind him impatiently.

To become a monk?

Of course not!

His appearance is not as handsome as that of the men in Dayong. If he shaves his long hair, won't he look even more stupid?

What if Wei'er doesn't like it?

Thinking that he would soon be able to meet the person he admired, the second prince finally felt less annoyed.

After sending away the "monks" in the temple who wanted to approach him and asking for a secluded meditation room, the second prince locked himself in the room, using the excuse of meditating and chanting scriptures, and never went out again.

As the sun set, the second prince passed by the door and through the gaps in the window sills he noticed the monks who had been paying attention to this side from time to time finally all left. After waiting for a while, he pushed the door open and walked out.

Walk along the deserted and secluded paths in the temple.

In fact, he didn't know whether the people who rescued Wei'er were hiding here, but he wanted to take a gamble. As long as there was only a slight chance, he still wanted to see Wei'er again.

I also want to meet those people from Dayong who rescued Wei'er.

"Second Prince Helian." A cold voice sounded behind him.

Before this, there was not even a sound of footsteps.

Before he turned around, the second prince couldn't help but sigh in his heart, these people from Dayong are really good at martial arts, no wonder they can come and go freely in the Helian tribe palace without being discovered.

"You are indeed here."

As soon as the second prince finished speaking, he heard the cold voice continue, "Follow me."

Walking around the overgrown corridor, we entered a secluded and desolate courtyard.

Walk into an empty, dusty room.

Not long after, I heard several footsteps behind me.

The second prince turned around, and an excited look immediately appeared on his face, "Weier!"

Then he realized that he had acted too much, and fearing that he might scare people, he tried to appear calm and composed, and said, "I'm glad you're safe."

Accompanying Bai Mingwei were Wei Yunlan and Zou Yun, who had just led the way for the second prince.

"We'll wait outside first. Call us if there's anything." Wei Yunlan and Zou Yun left the house, giving the two men space to talk.

"Miss Wei, do you think the Second Prince would like to keep Miss Bai here?" Zou Yun took a step closer to Wei Yunlan and asked in a low voice.

"Not necessarily." Wei Yunlan could not see any calculation in the eyes of the Second Prince Helian when he looked at Bai Mingwei, only a look full of reluctance.

Of course, this does not rule out the possibility that the Second Prince Helian is extremely good at acting, but if he really was acting, he would not have to continue acting until the Chanyu left the Helian tribe.

There is no doubt that the Second Prince is reluctant to let Bai Mingwei leave, but Wei Yunlan does not think that the Second Prince will demand that Bai Mingwei stay in Beiman.

If he really said such words, it can only be said that they had misjudged him before.

The conversation in the room did not last long. After a moment, the door behind them was opened.

In the dim light, it was vaguely visible that the eyes of the two people in the room were red.

Bai Mingwei smoothed the hair at her temples to hide a little bit of the redness and swelling in her eyes, but her eyes were still filled with endless emotion.

"Miss Wei, Miss Zou Yun. The Second Prince just said that after we leave the royal court, we can use the Helian tribe's caravan of cattle and sheep to take us to the southern part of the Northern Barbarians, close to the border."

"Yes." The second prince nodded and said, "Every year at this time of year, the Helian tribe will transport cattle and sheep to the major tribes. You are traveling with so many people, and it will be inconvenient if you encounter inspections. But if you hide in the Helian tribe's cattle and sheep transport team, you can avoid this trouble."

"Why are you helping us?" Zou Yun stared at the second prince's eyes scrutinizingly.

He just sighed and replied, "I hope you all return safely."

"Just think of it as the last thing I do for Wei'er."
