Chapter 18 Encountering the Nine Thousand Year Old Secret

When Yun Zheng arrived at Huangjue Temple, dusk was approaching and the sky was full of colorful clouds.

The monk in charge of reception hurried over and led the group into the temple. Yun Zheng sincerely lit three incense sticks, knelt devoutly before the Buddha, and prayed silently.

She stood up and said she wanted to stay.

The monk in charge of reception looked embarrassed and politely declined, "Madam, the incense room in our temple has been fully booked. Please come earlier next time."

Besides the servants and guards, Yun Zheng only brought Nanny Ji and Chun Hua. Yun Zheng glanced at Chun Hua, who immediately took out a stack of banknotes and said, "This is our incense money."

The monk in charge of reception had his eyes light up. What a grand gesture!

"Oh, I almost forgot, there is another vacant courtyard. Lady donor, please follow me."

Sure enough, money makes the world go round.

The elegant courtyard is not big, but it is decorated in a very quiet manner. It is reserved for nobles, just in case.

Yun Zheng took a few glances at it and found it was indeed a royal temple of the previous dynasty. It was built magnificently and majestically.

After the fall of the previous dynasty, Huangjue Temple became an ordinary temple, open to the public, and everyone could come to burn incense.

It is said that Huangjue Temple is very effective, so it is very popular, especially the first incense stick on the first and fifteenth day of each month, everyone scrambles for it.

Tomorrow is the first day of September, and many pilgrims have checked in early just to be the first to burn the incense stick.

The monk in charge of reception received the tip and was warm and considerate. He happily brought hot water and a table of vegetarian food.

Yun Zheng asked Chunhua and Aunt Ji to sit down and eat with her, but Chunhua didn't dare to sit and stood aside to serve her the food.

"I heard that the vegetarian food at Huangjue Temple is excellent. Miss, please try this vegetarian roast goose."

The vegetarian roast goose is made of tofu skin wrapped with diced mushrooms and bamboo shoots. The tofu skin is fried until golden and crispy. When you take a bite, you can taste the perfect blend of the freshness of vegetables and the aroma of beans. It’s amazing!

Luohanzhai is a pot of stew, with seasonal vegetables and mushrooms in the field slowly stewed in a casserole. Each ingredient blends with each other and is soaked in the soup, with a rich taste, fresh and delicious.

What’s even more outstanding is a bowl of vegetarian noodles with a delicious soup and toppings of pickled mustard greens and fresh bamboo shoots, which is incredibly fresh.

Yun Zheng was already hungry after running around, so she ate a lot and accidentally got indigestion. She got up in the middle of the night, paced back and forth in the room, her mind racing.

Tomorrow, Ye Yichen will save a child with a special identity here, the Ghost Doctor's only grandson, and thus obtain the Ghost Doctor's three conditions.

This ghost doctor does not distinguish between good and evil and acts according to his own likes and dislikes.

Ye Yizhen got such an opportunity, cured the illnesses of several noble people, won their favor, and thus rose to prominence.

In her previous life, Yun Zheng fell ill inexplicably and was bedridden, neither dead nor alive. This was also the work of the ghost doctor.

Therefore, no matter what, we must prevent Ye Yichen from getting this opportunity.

She wants to intercept!

The more she thought about it, the more excited she became, and she opened the window to get some fresh air.

"Plop." A strange sound came from outside. Yun Zheng subconsciously looked up and was stunned by the scene she saw.

A dark figure was climbing over the wall next door. Its agility was such that Yun Zheng caught sight of its profile in the bright moonlight. Although it was wearing a mask, she recognized it immediately and gasped. "Hiss."

Her voice was very soft, and she covered her mouth when she realized it, but the dark shadow heard it, turned around suddenly, and a pair of cold black eyes locked onto her in an instant.

Yun Zheng felt like she was being stared at by a ferocious beast. Her heart began to beat fast and she swallowed involuntarily.

The black shadow frowned slightly, stepped on the wall, jumped up, and flew over.

"Miss Yun, it's not good to stay up late at night and stare at a man."

Yun Zheng froze on the spot, not daring to move, not daring to look around. Was he trying to silence her? "You... running around so late at night..."

As soon as she said it, she regretted it and said, "Shut up."

The shadow looked at her coldly with a pair of black eyes, as if there was a murderous look in them. "What did you see?"

Yun Zheng felt a chill rising from the soles of her feet and quickly spreading to her limbs. "I didn't see anything. I fell asleep. I fell asleep."

She turned stiffly and walked towards the bed step by step, wishing she could faint immediately.

"Stop." A clear voice rang out.

Yun Zheng paused, her heart pounding wildly.

The man thought thoughtfully, "You just got married, why are you here so late at night?"

Yun Zheng's palms were full of cold sweat. Does this guy not want to hide anymore?

I regretted it so much. Why did I come to Huangjue Temple? Why did I stay overnight? Why did I stay up all night?

Why do you want to discover other people's secrets?

"I'm here to burn incense and pray to the Buddha to protect our family from harm and disaster."

A sneer came from behind, "You are a fearless person, and you still believe this?"

"That..." Yun Zheng's mind raced. God, please save her. She didn't want to be silenced.

The man sneered, "If you die, your half of the dowry will belong to me."

It was none other than Prince Rui, the Ninth Thousand Year Old Prince, who was in good health.

Yun Zheng closed her eyes. Being forced into a desperate situation actually aroused her courage and she gave it her all.

She turned around suddenly and her eyes fell on the man's intact legs. Damn, where is the paralytic?

As everyone knows, Prince Rui was accidentally injured and paralyzed a few years ago. The emperor was heartbroken and even conferred the title of Nine Thousand Years Old on him to appease him.

But what did she see? He was climbing over the wall of Huangjue Temple in the middle of the night! He was walking so fast!

Damn it! This is a heinous crime of deceiving the emperor!

She didn't want to know why he pretended to be paralyzed. It was definitely not a good thing.

But why did she bump into him so accidentally?

"I'm not asking the Buddha, I'm asking you, okay? Your Highness, I'm very useful."

Since she has discovered the biggest secret of the Nine Thousand Year Old Man, can she still survive?

If you want to live, you have to let the other person see your value and not be willing to kill her!

Li Wuyang looked at the woman in front of him. She was obviously very scared, but she was holding on and trying to fight for a chance to survive.

Somehow, he thought of himself, and his expression relaxed a little. "How did you recognize me at first sight?"

Yun Zheng's mind raced. "I have a photographic memory. I'll never forget a book I've read once, even after many years. Besides, you're so handsome and impressive, standing out from the crowd. You're truly impressive."

Li Wuyang raised his eyebrows. He had a photographic memory? What a coincidence, he did too!

"Tell me, what use can a woman like you be?"

Yun Zheng bit her lip and revealed the Yun family's biggest secret, "I can turn stone into gold. I'm a master of financial management. Over the past three years, the Yun family's business has grown several times over under my leadership."

Exchanging secrets for secrets, exchanging interests for benefits, that should be okay, right?

"I can help you make money, lots and lots of money, so much that you can never spend it all in your lifetime."

Even if you are an emperor, you cannot resist the temptation of money. Who would complain about having too much money?

What's more, the national treasury is empty, and the emperor's private treasury is also empty, and he is extremely poor.

Li Wuyang was a little surprised, "You are the real head of the Yun family?"

Yun Zheng took out a seal from her bosom and handed it to him, "This is the seal of the head of the Yun family."

She knelt down without hesitation, her expression solemn and serious, "Yun family heir, Yun Zheng, pays homage to the master."

Be patient enough, be ruthless enough, and be decisive enough!

She assesses the situation, weighs the pros and cons, and chooses the decision that is most beneficial to herself. She has a bit of a heroic spirit.

A hint of darkness flashed across Li Wuyang's dark eyes...
