The army drillmaster Yu Xiaoxiao (玉小小) [aka “Little Jade”] transmigrated from a zombie apocalypse world into the body of the eldest imperial princess. On her first day, she got hitched to young Gen...
Yu Xiaoxiao and Gu Xinglang did not bring anyone else with them. Yu Xiaoxiao sat in the car to guard her baby, while Gu Xinglang drove the car. The two of them got to the White Horse Temple smoothly. ..
After arriving at the White Horse Temple, Gu Xinglang finally remembered where this place was, and he immediately felt unwell. Young Master Gu drove the carriage and circled the wall of the White Horse Temple like a thief.
At this moment, the people in Chiyang City no longer seemed to be in a panic, and many people came to the White Horse Temple to burn incense.
Gu Xinglang parked the carriage in a less conspicuous corner and asked Yu Xiaoxiao: "How do we get in?"
Yu Xiaoxiao sat next to Gu Xinglang, looked at the high wall beside her, and said, "Wait for me here, it's just a few boxes, I'll be done in a moment."
Gu Xinglang pulled Yu Xiaoxiao's hand and said, "You want to go in alone?"
Yu Xiaoxiao dragged a wooden box out of the carriage, kissed Gu Xinglang on the face, and said, "Wait for me here, dear."
Gu Xinglang watched his wife carrying a wooden box, climbing over the meter-high courtyard wall, and disappearing.
Yu Xiaoxiao ran around the White Horse Temple, thinking about where to put her treasure, when she saw an old monk leading a group of monks to the west of the temple. Yu Xiaoxiao thought about it, carried the box and followed the group to the west.
After watching the group of monks enter a house with only a door but no windows, Yu Xiaoxiao squatted on a tree covered with icicles for a long time. After the group of monks left carrying a number of wooden boxes, Yu Xiaoxiao jumped down from the tree and carried her own box to the front of the house.
There is a padlock on the door.
Yu Xiaoxiao walked forward and this time did not use brute force to destroy it directly. She took down the silver hairpin from her bun and fiddled with the keyhole twice. The copper lock then "snapped" and was opened by Yu Xiaoxiao.
Looking around and seeing no one around, Yu Xiaoxiao carried the wooden box and went into the house, and found that it was a warehouse.
The left corner was empty, so Yu Xiaoxiao placed the wooden box there. She patted the wooden box containing the Red Jade Flying Dragon and muttered, "I'll just take up this space."
Gu Xinglang circled around the carriage. Apart from looking at the carriage and listening to the noises inside the wall, Gu Shao couldn't think of anything else he could do.
Like a squirrel preparing for winter, Yu Xiaoxiao moved a dozen wooden boxes one by one and put them all into a storeroom with a door but no windows. On the last trip, when she put down the wooden boxes and went out, Yu Xiaoxiao locked the lock again. There was no sign of the lock being pried open.
After jumping out of the courtyard wall and sitting in the carriage, Yu Xiaoxiao said to Gu Xinglang, "Xiao Gu, let's go."
Gu Xinglang raised the whip in his hand and the carriage moved forward.
This thing was done without anyone knowing.
"How is the temple now?" Gu Xinglang asked Yu Xiaoxiao in a low voice while driving the carriage back to the inn.
Yu Xiao: "Mo Wen checked Chengming's injuries. I heard from the people in the temple that Chengming has not regained consciousness since last night."
Gu Xinglang said: "Can Mo Wen cure him?"
"I don't know," Yu Xiaoxiao said while lying on Gu Xinglang's back, "Chengming is not his son. Even if he died, Mo Wen wouldn't be sad, right?"
Gu Xinglang nodded and said, "He won't be sad."
"I've looked in the temple," Yu Xiaoxiao said again, "there is no medicine man in the White Horse Temple."
"Have you searched the underground secret room or something?" Gu Xinglang asked hurriedly.
"I've looked," Yu Xiao said, "There are only two basements."
Gu Xinglang took a deep breath and said, "It's a good thing that there are no medicine men."
Yu Xiaoxiao clung to Gu Xinglang's shoulders and put her head in front of him.
Gu Xinglang held the reins with one hand and pushed Yu Xiaoxiao behind him with the other, saying, "Sit tight."
"Do you want to help Jing Mo and the others?" Yu Xiaoxiao asked.
Gu Xinglang was stunned for a moment and said, "You want to help Li Luo?"
Yu Xiao: "I want to help, but if you don't want to then forget it."
Gu Xinglang said: "Are you really going to listen to me?"
"I'll listen to you," Yu Xiaoxiao took a piece of candy and stuffed it into Gu Xinglang's mouth. As an outsider from another world, she really didn't understand things like the fight for the throne and the imperial power, so she should just listen to Gu Xinglang.
Gu Xinglang said: "It's not difficult for me to help Li Luo and Jiang Zhuojun to mobilize troops from the Southwest Camp, but I'm afraid that I won't be able to get to the Southwest Camp."
"Why?" Yu Xiaoxiao asked.
Gu Xinglang said: "What if Mo Wen sends someone to stop me?"
"Then don't go," Yu Xiaoxiao said without thinking, "Let Jing Mo find another way."
"Do you trust Jingmo so much?" Gu Xinglang asked Yu Xiaoxiao jokingly, "Aren't you afraid that he will sell us out?"
"Jing Mo won't," Yu Xiaoxiao affirmed, leaning on Gu Xinglang's back.
Gu Xinglang pursed his lips, walked past the entrance, and whispered to Yu Xiaoxiao: "I'll go out of town and try. If I can't get away, I'll come back."
"Really?" Yu Xiaoxiao clung to Gu Xinglang's shoulders again and put her head in front of Gu Xinglang.
"You will be sad to see Li Luo and the others die," Gu Xinglang smiled at Yu Xiaoxiao and said, "Let's help them."
Yu Xiaoxiao poked the corner of Gu Xinglang's mouth with her finger and said, "Aren't you and Xiao Jiang also friends?"
Gu Xinglang sighed. He had given up explaining this matter.
When Gu Xinglang drove the carriage to the back door of the posthouse, Ai Jingzhong stood outside a Buddhist hall in the White Horse Temple.
"Come in," Mo Wen said in the Buddhist hall.
After Ai Jingzhong entered the Buddhist hall, he knelt in front of Mo Wen.
Mo Wen turned a string of Buddhist beads in his hand, glanced at Ai Jingzhong, and said, "Get up."
Ai Jingzhong knelt on the ground without moving, and whispered: "Master Host, is the Grand Prince?"
"Li Luo has been imprisoned," Mo Wen said, "and the Jiang family no longer exists. Why did Li Hao go to the Heavenly Prison?"
Ai Jingzhong said: "It is said in the court and in the country that it was the eldest prince who killed the fourth prince. The eldest prince went to the prison just to clear his name and not to arouse the suspicion of His Majesty."
"What a waste of effort," Mo Wen sighed. "What use is there for a man who has become an emperor to have a reputation? You know how to use the self-torture trick, but can't others see that it is a self-torture trick?"
Ai Jingzhong lowered his head and remained silent after hearing what Mo Wen said.
"Get up," Mo asked.
Ai Jingzhong then stood up from the ground. As a prime minister, he stood with his hair hanging down like a child standing in front of his strict teacher.
"If you really can't find Li Hao, then don't look for him anymore," Mo Wen said, "Go and discuss with Long Fei, who between Long Ning and Long Lu should be the emperor."
Ai Jingzhong said: "Are you afraid of Empress Longfei?"
"If you want to be the queen, don't be sentimental," Mo Wen whispered, "The birthday banquet must be held as scheduled. On that day, Chiyang City will definitely not be peaceful. You must be prepared."
"Master Host, do you mean, Fourth Prince?"
Mo Wen waved his hand at Ai Jingzhong and said, "Don't ask too much. Some things are destined by fate, but who can be willing to accept it without fighting for it?"
