"Mi Xue only had one word, and the Crown Prince went so far as to secretly leave the palace and come to the White Horse Temple. Your Highness thought it was just a simple prophecy? Whoever gets Master Longwen's words will rule the world."
Cui Mixue's words shocked Situ Zhao. A dark light flashed in Situ Zhao's eyes, and then he said, "In this case, Your Highness does not mind killing the prince and getting Master Longwen."
Cui Mixue nodded. "There's a long corridor ahead. Your Highness can go straight to the main hall by just passing through it. I arranged a number of assassins on the way here."
Even if they were able to meet Master Longwen, they would have no way to bring him out.
Looking at the prosperous scene in front of her, Su Mengyan curled the corners of her lips and glanced at Situ Yao beside her, thinking that it had been a long time since she had seen such a scene.
"What's wrong with you?" Seeing Su Mengyan suddenly stop, Situ Yao frowned slightly and asked curiously.
Su Mengyan shook her head. She looked into the distance, her eyes flickering slightly. "You know, I've seen this scene before."
The high-hanging lanterns and the passers-by all look very much like modern temple fairs.
As soon as she finished speaking, Su Mengyan's heart skipped a beat. She was so moved by the scene that she forgot that the person next to her was not a good person.
The original owner was just a concubine who knew nothing, how could she know so much? Thinking of this, Su Mengyan frowned slightly and couldn't help but steal a glance at Situ Yao.
"Temple fair?" Situ Yao narrowed his eyes slightly, with a hint of inquiry in his deep eyes. His gaze fell on Su Mengyan, as if he wanted to find out something from it.
Su Mengyan lowered her head, feeling panic in her heart. Her words just now had obviously aroused Situ Yao's suspicion. If she continued, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Yeah." Su Mengyan smiled. She took a step forward and didn't say anything else. She turned around and smiled brightly in Situ Yao's direction, not knowing what she saw. "Let's go and take a look."
"Yeah." Situ Yao nodded and looked at Su Mengyan's back. His eyes flashed slightly, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes.
Situ Yao lowered his eyes, and Su Mengyan's surprised expression emerged in his mind. However, he always knew Su Mengyan's personality. She didn't want to say more, and he didn't want to force a result.
"Hurry up, or the senior monk's lecture will begin." Several young monks passing by were whispering to each other.
"High monk?" Su Mengyan was slightly stunned when she heard this. She frowned slightly. For some reason, she had a bad feeling in her heart.
"Is the eminent monk you are talking about the one in the temple?" Su Mengyan walked forward and confirmed with the young monks.
The young monk saw Su Mengyan and bowed to her. "You are right, benefactor. It is that eminent monk."
"If you are here for a lecture, you should go earlier to avoid missing the time."
Su Mengyan nodded slightly, and she turned her head to look at Situ Yao over there.
Situ Yao naturally understood the conversation between Su Mengyan and the little monk, and the two of them immediately went to the main hall.
Along the way, Su Mengyan frowned and looked at Situ Yao, "What do you think of this eminent monk?"
"Hmm?" Situ Yao narrowed his eyes slightly, "You are suspicious..."
Su Mengyan nodded. "It's getting late, so we should go to the main hall immediately. If we are with the monk, we can help him in time if anything happens."
Looking at the woman in front of him, Situ Yao sighed. He also understood what Su Mengyan was thinking. He naturally took Su Mengyan's hand and said, "Let's go."
The two of them quickly arrived at the main hall, and before they even stepped in, they heard a familiar voice coming from inside.
"Is it her?" Su Mengyan narrowed her eyes slightly, and a hint of panic flashed in her eyes.
Cui Mixue on this side also saw Su Mengyan and Situ Yao standing by the door. She was slightly stunned, obviously not expecting to see them here.
"Mi Xue, what's wrong with you?" Seeing that Cui Mixue looked unwell, Situ Zhao hurriedly stepped forward and asked softly.
But there was no response from Cui Mixue. Following his gaze, he saw that the smile on Situ Zhao's face gradually faded.
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward. Cui Mixue quickly reacted. She raised the corners of her lips and walked towards Su Mengyan affectionately, "It turns out to be Sister Mengyan."
"How come you have the leisure to come to this temple today?" Cui Mixue walked forward. Although she was talking to Su Mengyan, her eyes kept looking at Situ Yao.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince." Cui Mixue lowered her head a little embarrassedly.
Situ Yao's eyes were cold, and he exuded endless coldness. Especially when facing Cui Mixue, he couldn't help but frown.
"Why are you here?" Situ Yao glanced at Situ Zhao and said coldly.
"Royal brother, it's like this. Mi Xue said she wanted to come here to listen to the monks preach, so..." Situ Zhao had a smile on his face.
Situ Yao hummed lightly and said nothing more.
Faced with Situ Yao's disregard, Cui Mixue felt even more uncomfortable. She didn't know why, but every time she stood with Su Mengyan, she always felt that her momentum was suppressed.
"Sister Mengyan, you haven't answered my question yet." Cui Mixue blinked, and a cold light flashed in her eyes.
Su Mengyan smiled and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince and I are also listening to the monk's lecture. This is the main hall, and it would be impolite for us to stand here."
Cui Mixue froze when she heard Su Mengyan's words. She had thought that she could use this incident to gain Situ Yao's favor, but she didn't expect to get such an answer.
Thinking of this, Cui Mixue felt even more angry towards Su Mengyan, but with so many people around, she didn't dare to show it. She had to suppress her dissatisfaction and her face was gloomy.
The atmosphere became awkward for a moment. Situ Zhao waved towards Cui Mixue, "Mixue, come here."
Su Mengyan and Situ Yao sat together, and they were speechless.
After waiting for a long time, there was still no sign of the monk, and the people who came to listen to the monk's lectures couldn't help but complain.
"Strange, wasn't the monk's lecture supposed to begin? Why hasn't it started yet?"
"That's right."
Su Mengyan listened to these people quietly, frowning slightly. She glanced at Situ Yao over there, and had a bad suspicion in her heart.
At this moment, a young monk walked in. He walked to the center and bowed to everyone with an apologetic look. "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. My master suddenly had something to do and went back to the meditation room to get the scriptures."
"Please wait a moment, benefactors."
Listening to the little monk's words, Su Mengyan lowered her eyes, a sharp light flashed in her eyes, and countless doubts were in her heart. If this was really a high monk who had attained enlightenment as they said, such a mistake would not have occurred in such an important occasion.
