Chapter 60 Chapter 60 Yuanyin Temple
As the footsteps in the cells on both sides grew closer, Jiang Wu, with sweat on his palms, could even hear his heart beating wildly in his chest.
Again and again, so strong that it seemed like it was going to burst out of my throat.
Looking around, she found that there was no place for her to hide in the huge cell full of torture instruments.
The heels of the shoes made a sharp sound on the floor.
The footsteps were getting closer, so close that they seemed to be ringing next to my ears.
When the man was about to appear from the corner, Jiang Wu, who was clutching the cloth over his heart with both hands, suddenly woke up from his dream. Cold sweat covered his whole body, and he felt like he was pulled out of the water and could only breathe by gasping for air.
After biting her tongue until it hurt, she finally confirmed that she was no longer in that strange dream, but had returned to reality.
She was very sure that the person she saw in her dream was Xie Ji, the person she lived with day and night. The fact that he was locked up there must be related to someone else occupying his body.
She regretted that she didn't have time to ask him why he was there and how to find a solution.
After his breathing gradually returned to normal, Jiang Wu lay down again without giving up, closed his eyes and wanted to return to the dream again.
But when she woke up, she was no longer sleepy at all. She could only rub her hair irritably and sit up.
Lifting the light yellow silk curtain, one can see that the sky outside is already bright.
The sunlight pouring in through the windows of the crabapple tree was dazzling and seemed to be from another world.
Because of the dream, Jiang Wu just ate a few bites and put down the chopsticks. In a flash, she suddenly remembered a sentence he said to her.
Master Liaowu of Yuanyin Temple!
He might know something.
Jiang Wu's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and he immediately called Tan Yun over and asked her to find out whether Master Wu had returned from his travels.
Unexpectedly, I was lucky enough that Master Liaowu not only came back, but was now in Yuanyin Temple.
But new problems arise.
That means Ji Xiao is now sending people to guard her, how can she get out?
Before she could figure out how to get out, Yu Shu walked in with her fists clenched and her eyes red with anger. "Madam, the princess is really going too far!"
Jiang Wu immediately came up with an idea after thinking about it for a long time. She twisted her handkerchief with a frown on her face, "What's wrong? What happened?"
Although Yu Shu is lively and sometimes speaks her mind, she rarely shows her emotions on her face.
"It's still that princess." Yu Shu knew that the lady would know some things sooner or later, so there was no point in hiding anything and she told it all.
It turned out that Shen Tingxue moved into the mansion with a bunch of belongings in a grand manner, and dismissed most of the servants in the mansion and replaced them with her people, as if she wanted to regard herself as the mistress of the house.
If she didn't have a little sense of shame, she would have moved directly to Luomingxuan to announce to the world their unusual relationship.
Jiang Wu didn't get as furious as Yu Shu after hearing this. He just felt disgusted and irritated. "It's useless to scold her. The one who should be scolded is someone else. If it weren't for his connivance, how could she have such courage?"
If it were the previous Xie Ji, let alone moving in with great fanfare, even if she was his disciple, she would have to hand in a visiting card before coming to his house.
"She didn't make any moves." Shen Tingxue was lying on the beauty bed, supporting her head with her left hand and listening to Qiaozhi's report.
Her move to the Xie Mansion was quite ostentatious. She didn't believe that Jiang Wu didn't notice it at all, and that he could really suppress his jealousy towards her.
I did that naturally to provoke her and let her know who she really is.
People like her should rot in the mud and stink.
Shen Tingxue, with a gloomy expression, reached out to touch her neck which was cut by a knife last night. Although the man escaped in the end, it did not prevent her from knowing his answer.
This body was truly useful. With its striking appearance, renowned talent, and a privileged family background, she didn't have to worry about her so-called family discovering she'd usurped their rightful place and burning her like a monster. It was well worth her careful selection before choosing this body as a replacement.
Originally, the best suit was the heroine herself. Using her body to capture the man who was supposed to be her man was too unchallenging. Furthermore, she had always believed that Jiang Wu, with her lowly background, was unworthy of him. Even if she ended up becoming a doctor, she was still just the lowest of the low.
After marriage, women should take care of their husbands and children and abide by the rules of a boudoir, instead of showing up in public to treat some lowly poor people.
Shen Tingxue fiddled with the pearl bracelet on her wrist, wondering who the man who appeared last night was and what the relationship was between him and her.
If she had known this would happen, she should have read the original text before writing.
Jiang Wu knew it would be difficult to exit through the main gate, so he decided to climb over the wall.
But before leaving, he had to remind Yu Shu, "If anyone comes to see me, just tell them I'm not feeling well and went to bed."
Yu Shu, who was wearing the lady's clothes, moved her lips anxiously, her hands almost twisted into a knot. "Madam, why don't you take me with you? I'm worried. Or you can tell my master that you are going out. I think my master will definitely agree."
"No need, just stay in the yard and do what I teach you." If I really told Xie Ji now, what would be the difference between that and alerting the enemy?
"Don't worry, Tan Yun and I will be back soon. I'll buy you some sugar-roasted chestnuts when I get back. Just be good." Jiang Wu knew that Tan Yun knew some martial arts, so it would be much safer to take her with him than to be alone.
"Okay, Madam, remember to come back early."
After his wife climbed over the wall, Yu Shu knelt down toward the west and prayed to the Buddha for protection, hoping that his wife would return safely.
I also hope that my wife can come back soon, and I hope that no one will come to look for her.
She had just finished making a wish when she heard someone knocking on the door. "Madam, the princess said she needs you to come over for something."
Yu Shu was instantly frightened to the point of her scalp going numb and her hairs standing on end. It was true that the more you fear something, the more it will come true. Urged by the messenger, she could only bite the bullet and say in a pinched voice, "I'm not feeling well. I'm worried that I might pass my illness on to the princess, so I won't be coming."
When Shen Tingxue learned that she was ill, she stopped twisting her pearl necklace and suddenly revealed a cold smile, "Since Master's wife is ill, I should go visit her."
"Go, use my visiting card to invite Doctor Li."
Jiang Wu, who didn't know that Chen Tingxue was coming, changed into a maid's clothes, climbed over the wall of her own courtyard, went out through the small door, and said she wanted to buy some things. After that, she rushed to Yuanyin Temple without stopping.
She was not sure if anyone would come to look for her, so the only option now was to make a quick decision. Even in winter, she did not choose to take a carriage, but chose to ride a horse.
Tan Yun looked at his wife, who was wrapped up like a ball, and suggested distressedly, "Madam, why don't you rent a carriage? It looks like it's going to snow soon."
"No need." Jiang Wu, with his face covered with a cloth, leaving only his eyes exposed, whipped the horse's buttocks.
"We have to get to Yuanyin Temple as soon as possible before it snows." Jiang Wu was extremely grateful that he had learned to ride a horse, otherwise he would have wasted even more time riding in a carriage.
Because they were in a hurry, the two did not choose the main road, but took a short path. This path was seldom used by carriages, and the sound of dead leaves and broken branches breaking could always be heard as the horses' hooves trampled on it.
"Your Highness, there are two horses chasing us from behind. I have to take care of them." The young man driving the carriage frowned and looked at the two horses behind him that were about to catch up, with a fierce look on his face.
You have to know that His Highness's whereabouts have always been kept secret, and this road is a small path that few people know about. It is hard not to doubt what the two people who caught up with him want to do.
"No, maybe they are just passing by."
Just as the two horses were about to pass by the carriage, He Shiyan, who was sitting in the carriage, suddenly said, "Stop them."
He seemed to see a familiar person.
