While the two grandparents were chatting, Mu Qingyun walked in from outside, looking exhausted.
His expression was serious, but when he saw Mu Nanyan sitting on the chair, his brows relaxed a little.
"Yan'er, I'm glad you're okay." Mu Qingyun walked straight towards her and hugged her tightly.
He heard from his mother that Yan'er was assassinated on the way back. The moment he heard the news, his heart was gripped.
His sister was so young, a tiny person, so well-behaved and cute, but she was always in danger.
Thinking of this, Mu Qingyun's arms tightened instantly, almost causing Mu Nanyan to suffocate.
[Second brother, are you too nervous about me? I can’t breathe.]
Hearing her weak voice, Mu Qingyun was startled and slowly loosened the strength in his arms.
At this time, Mu Nanyan's face turned red because of her breathing problems, which made her look very cute.
Seeing her grandson being so reckless, the Queen Mother lightly rebuked: "Yun'er, what's wrong? What happened to Yan'er?"
Mu Nanyan was shocked. Oh no, she almost couldn't hide it.
She winked at Mu Qingyun, who felt annoyed and coughed, "Grandma, you heard it wrong just now."
He was so anxious that he almost forgot to hide it from Grandma Huang.
"I'm asking if Yan'er has any problem eating."
The Queen Mother obviously didn't believe it, and looked at Mu Nanyan with a questioning look in her eyes. "My dear granddaughter, talk to the Queen Mother."
Her eyesight wasn't that blurry, so she couldn't have heard it wrong.
Mu Nanyan lowered her eyes, feeling a little guilty. "Grandma, I didn't mean to lie to you. I just didn't want you to worry too much."
She lowered her head so that the Queen Mother wouldn't notice her guilty look.
"Grandma Empress, my brother just asked me if there is anything wrong with this pastry." Mu Nanyan picked up a piece of pastry and looked at it carefully.
Mu Qingyun also echoed: "Yes, Grandma Huang, you have to believe me."
He looked at the Queen Mother with an aggrieved expression, fearing that she would not believe him.
The Queen Mother knew clearly that they were trying to conceal the truth, so she stopped asking questions.
Some things just require you to turn a blind eye and don't need to be made particularly clear.
This way, it's better for everyone.
The Queen Mother called Mu Qingyun over, took his hand, and told him: "Yun'er, your sister said she went to the temple to pray for me. Are you free these days?"
Although the Queen Mother has taken good care of herself, she is still old.
Touching those weathered hands, Mu Qingyun's heart moved slightly.
His grandmother was a stunning beauty when she was young, but even so, she could not resist the erosion of time and became much older.
Since it is the Empress Dowager's wish, as her grandson, he will make time to help her fulfill it even if he doesn't have time.
He looked at the Queen Mother with a gentle gaze, "Grandma, tomorrow is a good day. Yan'er and I will go to the temple together."
The Queen Mother patted his hands and smiled kindly: "I feel relieved with your words."
The next day, the weather was cool and suitable for traveling.
After breakfast, the two set out from the palace and went to the Puhua Temple, a temple often visited by the Queen Mother, to pray for blessings.
Before leaving, Wan Fei specifically told Mu Qingyun to protect her sister well, and Mu Qingyun readily agreed.
Influenced by the last assassination of Mu Nanyan, Emperor Hui sent three hundred guards to escort them this time.
He didn't want to let Yan'er go at first, fearing that she would be frightened again.
But he couldn't persuade Yan'er, who said that she had promised the Empress Dowager that she couldn't be a dishonest person.
Helplessly, after Mu Nanyan's constant persuasion, Emperor Hui finally agreed to her request, but sent more people to protect her.
The group set out from the palace and headed south, followed by a huge team.
Puhua Temple is located on the top of the mountain. This temple is very popular and people from nearby like to come to the temple to pray.
The carriage reached the foot of the mountain and could not go up.
As the saying goes, sincerity is the key to success. If you want your prayers to be effective, you need to be sincere.
We could have taken a sedan chair up the mountain, but no one mentioned it.
They think that if a person is unwilling to even walk and is not sincere in his heart, how can the Bodhisattva bless him?
A group of people were left at the foot of the mountain to watch the carriage, while most of the guards escorted them up the mountain.
Mu Nanyan climbed the stairs step by step. Although her legs were short and she couldn't take long steps, she didn't look tired at all.
She looked up at the stairs above. It was still a long way to the top of the mountain, but she didn't feel very tired. She regarded climbing the mountain as a form of practice.
In fact, she had a faster way, which was to let Xuan Feng carry her up, but if that were the case, then this trip would be meaningless.
Mu Qingyun exercises regularly, so climbing mountains is a piece of cake for him.
He looked at Mu Nanyan, whose cheeks were flushed and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, and felt a little bit reluctant.
Yan'er was so young that he should have carried her up, but she refused.
He still remembered her saying to him, "Brother, if I need you to help me climb a mountain, I'm too delicate."
"If I do this, I will lose my sincerity. If the Bodhisattva knows, he will blame me."
He couldn't do anything about Yan'er's insistence and could only let her go.
He just said: "If you can't hold on, call me, I will help you."
She kept crawling from the bottom for half an hour, but he didn't hear her say the word "tired".
His sister is awesome, she has her own ideas and doesn't want anyone else to do everything for her. As her brother, he just needs to support her.
After climbing for three hours, the group finally saw the temple on the top of the mountain.
The temple is surrounded by towering trees, guarding it.
The temple has green tiles and white walls, and wisps of green smoke can be seen everywhere.
Although there were many people visiting the temple, they all kept quiet.
In the Buddhist temple, a huge golden Buddha statue stands in the center, looking kindly at the people kneeling below.
A young girl was kneeling devoutly on a cushion. She had a pretty face, her eyes closed, and was muttering something.
When Mu Nanyan saw the woman's back, she felt that she looked familiar. Was that Yun Qingyue?
The woman slowly lowered her head, prostrated herself on the ground, then slowly stood up. After bowing three times, she finally stood up.
She slowly turned her head and her eyes met Mu Nanyan's in the air.
It’s really Yun Qingyue. Why haven’t I heard the second prince mention her coming to the temple?
Did the two of them have a fight?
Mu Nanyan smiled at her and said, "Sister Yun, when did you come?"
She pushed Mu Qingyun forward and said, "Brother, you are such a fool. You didn't even tell me that my sister is here. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."
Yun Qingyue looked at the person who came. She had not seen the Second Prince for a long time.
He has been very busy recently, and his mother happened to be not feeling well, so she thought of coming to the temple to pray for her.
I didn't expect to meet him here. Looking at his thin figure, Yun Qingyue felt a little distressed.
