Chapter 354: Water



But Nun Ci Xin actually held Liu Ying tightly and refused to let go. "This child is so beautiful, just like what I have always dreamed of."

"What about the matter of becoming a monk?" Su Bei probed.

Master Ci Xin's mind was completely on Liu Ying. She stared at her without moving her eyes away. It seemed as if she had forgotten about the matter of becoming a nun long ago.

"Okay, then you take her with you first." Su Bei agreed.

Master Ci Xin never mentioned the matter of becoming a monk again.

It was only when Chu Younan officially became the emperor that he discovered that Chu Youyang had been fooling around to become the emperor. Many things had been piled up, and many ministers had been telling him about things that they had tolerated before.

He was so busy that he had no time to go to Biluo Temple.

He was very busy, and Su Bei was not idle either.

The Princess of Prince Jingnan came to visit.

I haven't seen you for a long time, and Su'er seems to have gained some weight.

Su Bei's eyes flashed, and he asked, "Are you pregnant too?"

"Two months." Su'er's eyes were full of sweet smiles.

It seems that these two people are living well, and Su Bei finally feels relieved.

The two started chatting.

Su Er, however, sounded a little apologetic, "I arrived in the capital a few days ago. I wanted to enter the palace, but I was always visited by people at home, so I was delayed. Please don't blame me, Queen."

"The father and son of King Jingnan have always been kind and have many friends. It doesn't matter."

Su Er pursed her lips and smiled, "This time back is a little different. Many of those who came to visit want to marry into the Jingnan Palace."

"Marriage? Are you planning to be the prince's concubine?" Su Bei frowned. She hated the ancient rule of having three wives and four concubines.

Su Er smiled and shook her head, "That's not true. Everyone knows that the Crown Prince has a good relationship with the Emperor and Prince Jin, and they also know that the Queen and I have a close relationship, so they are all eager to marry their daughters to my father."

Su Bei’s eyes widened immediately.

Prince Jingnan is not very old, he is less than 40 this year, but he is not a hot commodity! Besides, she wants to bring Prince Jingnan and Ci Xin... oh no, it's Princess Ruzhi.

"What did Prince Jingnan himself say?" she asked anxiously.

"He didn't say he was willing, nor did he say he was unwilling."

This is a bit dangerous.

After sending Su'er away, Su Bei has been thinking about this problem. He doesn't know what Prince Jingnan is thinking. He must not let Princess Ruzhi lose face in front of everyone again.

At nightfall, Chu Younan finally finished his work.

The two then began to share their experiences of the day.

"The eldest princess was here today, and Prince Jingnan's wife was also here..." Su Bei told him how the two of them came.

Chu Younan chuckled, "These two people, there's hope."

"But I don't know what King Jingnan means."

"I'll take some time out these few days to try it out."

The two were chatting when Chu Younan suddenly stood up and rushed out the door.

Su Bei thought an assassin was coming, so he quickly called Yun Rou in, "Yun Rou, is there an assassin?"

But Yun Rou looked relaxed, "Don't worry, Queen, it's not an assassin, it's just a fire."

Su Bei breathed a sigh of relief, "Where did the fire break out?"

"It looks like it's in the direction of Biluo Temple."

Su Bei, who had just relaxed, became nervous again, "Are you sure it's Biluo Temple?!"

"Let me go take a look. It looks like it's in the direction of Biluo Temple."

After Yun Rou finished speaking, she rushed out.

That night, Yun Rou did not come back, and neither did Chu Younan.

Su Bei didn't sleep well all night.

As dawn approached, Chu Younan came back with a tired look on his face.

"Why did you take so long? Where did the fire happen? Was it at Biluo Temple? How is my aunt?" Su Bei asked a series of questions.

Chu Younan held his forehead and said, "The Biluo Temple caught fire. Fortunately, no one was injured, but Liuying was taken away by someone."

Su Bei was even more puzzled, "They took away Liuying? Could they be people from Miaojiang?"

"That's right." Chu Younan nodded, "Prince Jingnan also went to help, he was injured. Yunrou is relocating the people in Biluo Temple."

"Prince Jingnan?" Su Bei was a little puzzled at first, but then he was relieved.

It seems that Prince Jingnan is not completely uninterested in the princess. This is possible.

In fact, they didn't know that there was no door, but there were windows, tunnels and vents, but no door.

At that time, King Jingnan was afraid that Cheng Shi would be wronged, so he made up his mind not to marry again, and even rejected the princess's confession in public. But he was not a heart of iron after all. The princess became a nun in Biluo Temple for more than ten years for him, and King Jingnan was always worried.

During the days he returned to Beijing, Prince Jingnan was busy with social engagements during the day. Every night, he would go up to the observation tower in his backyard and look towards the direction of Biluo Temple.

As he looked, he saw the fire. He became anxious and ran away using his lightness skills.

When he arrived, a group of men in black were taking advantage of the chaos to look for Liuying. The eldest princess liked Liuying very much, so of course she wanted to protect her, so a conflict broke out between the two sides.

The other party was ruthless and wanted to kill the powerless princess, but fortunately Prince Jingnan arrived in time.

The princess was fine, but Prince Jingnan was seriously injured.

Normally, it should be acceptable to repay the life-saving favor with one's own body, but the Prince of Jingnan refused in public, and the princess almost became the laughing stock of the entire capital, and she felt angry in her heart.

Otherwise, she would not have become a nun just because Prince Jingnan returned to Beijing.

So when Prince Jingnan was injured, the princess simply sent him supplements and gold and silver as a courtesy to express her gratitude.

Although Prince Jingnan was seriously injured, fortunately he had Su Xiujie, who personally treated him and made the nobles in the capital look at Prince Jingnan with a higher regard.

Rumor has it that Su Xiujie and Su Bei are siblings, and that the Queen's biological brother is on good terms with Prince Jingnan, so the future of Prince Jingnan's Palace is limitless.

Therefore, during the period when Prince Jingnan was recuperating from his injuries, many families in the capital sent gifts of condolences and extended olive branches to Su'er, hinting explicitly that they wanted their daughters to become Prince Jingnan's concubines.

The news spread like wildfire.

Of course the eldest princess also knew about it.

She couldn't swallow this humiliation and didn't want to speak to King Jingnan again, so she focused all her attention on Liuying.

The child was lost, so she sent someone to look for him! Even though Chu Younan told her not to look for him anymore, she still wanted to look for him!

So as soon as Prince Jingnan woke up, he heard that the eldest princess was missing.

Originally, Prince Jingnan felt very guilty towards the eldest princess, but when he heard that she was missing, he became anxious. Not only did he send palace soldiers to look for her, he even went to look for her while injured!

"If Your Majesty moves, I'm afraid his leg will be in danger." Su Xiujie looked at him helplessly.

King Jingnan was injured in the leg during the battle. If Chu Younan hadn't arrived, he would have lost his life.

But he didn't care about so many things at the moment, and dragged his injured leg to find the eldest princess.

It was Su'er's words that persuaded him, "After Father leaves, I'm afraid everyone in the capital will know your feelings for the eldest princess."

Prince Jingnan immediately frowned, "Who has feelings for her?"
