Chapter 188 It’s My Fault, Don’t Be Angry

However, Xiao Jiwu didn't think so much about it. He just wiped his own face and also helped Yun Qingshi wipe it.

He thought this way of waking up would be gentler, as he knew Ying Shiyi was the one who was most reluctant to get up early.

However, after meeting the boy's resentful gaze, he realized that this method was not gentle enough.

......Let’s change to something else next time.

Thinking of this, Xiao Jiwu casually threw the used handkerchief into the copper basin, then straightened Yun Qingshi's hair in an attempt to appease the young man's unhappiness: "Eleven is awake? It's getting late, you should get up."

Yun Qingshi: ...

Yun Qingshi just stared at Xiao Jiwu without saying a word.

Prince Xiao did not lose his patience upon seeing this. Instead, he gently scratched the boy's cheek twice with the back of his finger, then compromised and whispered, "It's my fault. Don't be angry."

After hearing this, the dissatisfaction in Yun Qingshi's eyes gradually faded away, and then he sat up with his arms propped up, yawned, and stretched.

But he still didn't want to move, he just wanted to lean lazily against something and stare blankly.

"I'm so tired..." he said.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jiwu personally took the pants next to him and helped the boy put on them, and then his shoes and socks.

Seeing this scene, Bi Tao and Bi Rui couldn't help but laugh secretly, both lowering their heads, with expressions of being hit...

As for Yun Qingshi, since he had to go out of the house today and play the role of a guard diligently, Bitao also brought a black narrow-sleeved dress.

After getting dressed with the help of Xiao Jiwu, he brushed his teeth and washed his face. Finally, Bitao helped him tie his hair and he was ready.

Yun Qingshi also carefully inserted the dagger given by Sang Chengjing into the side of his boot, which shows that he really likes this dagger.

Everyone was busy with their own things. Zhao Mingde was already packing his luggage with the servants.

Seeing this, Yun Qingshi took out his bag and handed it to Zhao Mingde, then worriedly reminded him: "Eunuch Zhao, these are all my treasures. I have to take them with me when I go out this time. Please help me put them away."

Zhao Mingde naturally nodded repeatedly and agreed with a smile: "It's not a bother, my lord, don't worry, I will take good care of it."

After saying this, he personally carried the bag and went out to put things away.

Changshun had already prepared breakfast with his maid, and Xiao Jiwu then took the young man to the table and sat down.

After sitting down, he first placed a bowl of porridge next to Yun Qingshi, and then asked with some confusion: "You are only going out for a day, why did Eleven bring a bag?"

Yun Qingshi was stunned when he heard this and thought, just prepare to run away, what else can he do.

Of course, the truth couldn't be told. Yun Qingshi calmly stirred the porridge in the bowl with a spoon and replied, "These are filled with the treasures you gave me, the Buddhist beads and rings. I might want to wear them, so I thought of taking them with me. I also took my notebook with me. I was afraid that I would be bored in the temple. Didn't you say you would stay overnight?"

He found that Xiao Jiwu had become more and more gullible recently, so he was not very worried.

After hearing this, Prince Xiao really had no doubts at all. He was even happier when he heard Yun Qingshi say that she wanted to wear the gift he gave her.

He quickly nodded in agreement, picked up a piece of fresh meat and put it on the boy's plate. He said softly, "You like it. I know you don't have an appetite this morning, but you have to eat at least a little, otherwise you'll be hungry on the way."

Yun Qingshi had no intention of traveling on an empty stomach, so he nodded obediently and finished the meat dumplings that Xiao Jiwu had picked up in one bite.

After breakfast, Yun Qingshi followed Xiao Jiwu into the carriage.

The timing was just right. As soon as the hour of Mao arrived, the carriage left the palace.

There were a total of twelve guards on this trip, and twenty ordinary secret guards in the dark, plus Shadow One, Shadow Three, Shadow Seven, Shadow Eight, Shadow Twelve and fifteen close-range secret guards. The total number of secret guards who went to Gratitude Temple together was thirty-seven.

This is what Xiao Jiwu told Yun Qingshi during breakfast.

Yun Qingshi understood that Xiao Jiwu wanted to reassure him.

With so many experts around, he did feel a lot more at ease.

But at the same time, the difficulty of his successful escape also increased significantly.

At that time, Xiao Jiwu would definitely not let him take action, so he would have no choice but to disobey orders.

It's easy to imagine that the scene will be very chaotic at that time. I just hope he can perform well in the last scene and not reveal any flaws.

As his thoughts reached this point, Yun Qingshi leaned on Prince Xiao's shoulder, yawned, and closed his eyes comfortably.

Well, he was sleepy again. Anyway, the assassination wasn't going to happen today, so he decided to go to sleep first...

————

Yun Qingshi successfully slept all the way to Gratitude Temple, but was woken up by Xiao Jiwu.

But the main reason was that Gratitude Temple was not far away. Yun Qingshi lifted the curtain of the car and took a look outside, and found that it was just dawn.

It's still very early, maybe seven or eight at the latest, no wonder he can sleep until now.

Unfortunately, he had originally wanted to confirm whether he had passed by the Cliff of No Return during this journey, so his plan fell through.

But there was an even simpler option. He simply tugged at Xiao Jiwu's sleeve and asked, "Your Highness, did we pass by the Cliff of No Return just now?"

Xiao Jiwu answered without hesitation: "I walked a short distance along the mountain road and it's very close to Wugui Cliff."

But at the same time, Xiao Jiwu also thought of the time when he sent Yingyi to follow Yingshiyi, Yingshiyi had gone to the Cliff of No Return once.

Xiao Jiwu was a little puzzled as to why the young man was interested in a cliff, but this was obviously not the time to chat, so he didn't ask any more questions.

As for Yun Qingshi, he nodded after getting the answer.

Then he got off the carriage first and waited to help Xiao Jiwu.

Because he is now a guard, Yun Qingshi has actually become accustomed to pretending.

Only after helping Xiao Jiwu get off the carriage did he have time to look at the temple.

Gratitude Temple is not a royal temple, so its specifications are naturally not as good as those of Huguo Temple.

It looks a lot smaller, but not old, and it looks like it has been renovated frequently.

Probably because it was still early, there were not many people in the temple, only a monk was sweeping the floor at the temple gate.

However, after seeing Xiao Jiwu, the monk put down his broom and came over to greet him.

"Amitabha, Your Highness has arrived. Please follow me into the temple."

Xiao Jiwu nodded in agreement, and everyone immediately entered the temple.

The air was good in the morning, but a little chilly. Yun Qingshi looked around and soon followed Xiao Jiwu to the place of worship.

It is called the Hall of Rebirth.

There is not only one tablet enshrined here, but the tablet for Xiao Jiwu's mother is separated from the other tablets, and the space looks more spacious.

Yun Qingshi knew that he must have spent money to get this treatment.
