Chapter 67 Don’t Dirty the Buddhist Pure Land

[It’s over, it’s over! What does the tyrant mean? Didn’t he see me meeting He Yulin just now? Let me think about how to explain it?]

Shen Chaoyan looked into the man’s bottomless eyes, and her heart beat faster for no reason. She

felt guilty as if she was caught having a tryst with her ex.

But in fact, she was aboveboard and did nothing!

Tianshu saw that she was panicking, and kindly reminded her: [Host, it’s time to show your beauty plan. Cry, make a fuss, and act coquettishly, and the tyrant will not let you control him?]

[How about I risk my face and give it a try?]

In just two or three seconds, Shen Chaoyan’s mind was in a thousand turns.

She raised her pink lips and blinked at the man, "I saw that the scenery in the temple was nice, and I wanted to look around, but I didn't expect it to rain heavily suddenly."

Sikong Yan raised his eyes and glanced at the heavy rain behind her, "It's not that there is no chance."

Shen Chaoyan looked at him with her round eyes, with some expectation, "What do you mean?"

Sikong Yan raised his hand and gently wiped the raindrops from her cheeks, "I see that the rain will not stop for a while, so I sent someone to pass the order to stay in Yuhua Temple tonight and return to the palace when the weather is clear tomorrow."

"Great!" Shen Chaoyan couldn't help but cheered.

It was her first time to spend the night in a temple.

This fresh and free air, it's a blessing to breathe one more breath, let alone stay overnight?

Sikong Hsing glanced at the joyful expression on her face, and the corners of his lips curled up.

When he retracted his gaze, he inadvertently swept across the figure not far from the big banyan tree in the courtyard.

Seeing that person staring at them, his eyes seemed unwilling.

Sikong Hsing's eyes moved slightly, raised his bony hand, pinched her chin, and pecked her lips lightly.

"Hey! Your Majesty, this is an important place in Buddhism, and even the Buddha is watching!"

Sikong Hsing did not continue. When he let go of her, he glanced behind her again.

Shen Chaoyan also turned her head, only to see the backs of two Yulin soldiers taking He Yulin away.

She thought for a moment and knew that the tyrant must have seen the scene of He Yulin and her together just now, and deliberately kissed her to declare his sovereignty.

Sikong Yan did not ask Shen Chaoyan what happened just now. After chatting with her for a few words, he let her go back to her room to rest.

Sikong Yan's residence was not together with the concubines' residences. It was a separate small courtyard.

He sat by the window, looking at the chessboard on the table, holding the black pieces in one hand and the white pieces in the other, playing chess with himself to pass the time.

"Your Majesty."

After an unknown amount of time, the sound of a candle rang outside the door.

Sikong Yan looked up and found that the rain outside had stopped.

He looked at Xuan Cang who walked into the room and raised his eyebrows, "How is it?"

Xuan Cang lowered his head and replied, "I followed Qi Yingmo all the way to the back mountain, and then went around to the front hall. During this time, he did not see anyone, and only went to the toilet once, which took about half a cup of tea. After coming out of the toilet, he went back to the room to rest."

After a pause, he said in a speculative tone, "Your Majesty, is it possible that he noticed that someone was following him and deliberately took his subordinates around in circles?"

This possibility is not ruled out.

Qi Yingmo is meticulous and does things flawlessly. It is indeed not easy to catch his handle.

Otherwise, he would not have deceived Shen Yushu for so long.

Sikong Yan narrowed his eyes, and then suddenly thought of something, "Xuan Cang, when Qi Yingmo went to the toilet, were there other suspicious people wandering around the toilet?"

Xuan Cang carefully recalled for a moment, shook his head, "No..."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly thought of something, "A sweeping monk seemed to have come out of the toilet not long after Qi Yingmo left."

The sweeping monk had a gray beard, and his hands were shaking with the broom. At that time, Xuan Cang thought that the sweeping monk was responsible for sweeping the toilet, and did not take him seriously.

Now it seems that he missed the most suspicious person.

"I failed in my duty, please punish me, Your Majesty!"

This matter is really not Xuan Cang's fault.

After all, no one could imagine that the noble Third Prince would meet his men in the toilet.

Sikong Yan held the black piece in his hand and slowly placed it on the chessboard, "It's okay, you continue to keep an eye on Qi Yingmo secretly, and if he has any moves recently, report to me as soon as possible."

The Third Prince was able to sneak into Yuhua Temple without anyone noticing, I'm afraid that this temple has already been planted with his spies.

"Yes!"

Not long after Xuan Cang left, Li Heguang came over, "Your Majesty, the person Lord Ye arrested is He Yulin, the son of He Zhenghong, the deputy lieutenant of the infantry. He asked you for instructions on how to deal with this person."

He Yulin?

Sikong Huang glanced at the chessboard in front of him and said casually, "Kill him."

After a pause, he added, "Remember to kill him at a distance, so as not to dirty the Buddhist holy land."

"Yes."

Li Heguang was about to pass on the message, and Sikong Huang's mind flashed the monk's robe worn by He Yulin, and he suddenly thought of something, "Wait, don't kill him when torturing him, leave him alive and take him back to the palace. I remember that a night watchman in the palace died of illness. From today on, let him patrol the night."

If he guessed correctly, the monk who swept the floor that Xuan Cang saw outside the toilet should be Sikong Yu.

Qi Yingmo and Sikong Yu should have met before.

His third brother's hands were really long enough to be able to disguise himself and sneak into the royal temple.

With He Yulin's ability, he certainly wouldn't dare to come to the temple to meet him in private.

It's probably Sikong Yu who suggested He Yulin to pretend to be a monk.

Since Sikong Yu wanted to use He Yulin, why not give them a chance?

Just arrange He Yulin to enter the palace.

He also wanted to see how stupid He Yulin could be, and what kind of earth-shaking things he would do after being used as a gun.

In the evening, just after Shen Chaoyan had dinner, Li Heguang came to pass on the message that Sikong Yan wanted to see her.

Shen Chaoyan looked at Xue Youran beside her, and said apologetically, "Sister Xue, I can't accompany you."

"It's okay, I'll walk around by myself later."

Yuhua Temple is close to the mountains and the water, and the scenery is beautiful. It's rare to come out, and the two of them had originally agreed to go for a walk in the back mountain.

After Shen Chaoyan left, Xue Youran was strolling around the yard alone.

As she walked, she found a little wild cat soaked by the heavy rain by the wall of the yard.

Although the rain stopped, the little cat was still wet all over, with orange fur sticking to its body, and shivering with cold.

"Meow."

Xue Youran likes small animals very much. Seeing the pitiful appearance of the little cat, she couldn't help but walk forward, "Are you cold? Come on, I'll take you to dry your fur, okay?"

However, before her hand touched the cat, the little cat was scared away.

When the kid ran along the corner of the wall, he slipped and fell, then got up and continued running.

"Meow, don't run."

Xue Youran subconsciously chased after it and chased it all the way out of the yard, "Meow, meow, where are you? Come out!"

"Are you looking for this cat?"

Just as Xue Youran lowered her head to look for the cat, a gentle and clear voice suddenly came from behind her.

This voice was too familiar, and Xue Youran's body suddenly froze.
