Ci'en Temple.
The ancient trees are towering, with snow on their branches.
The sky cleared up after the snow, and the sun shone on the bluestone steps. The sounds of chanting and wooden fish came from not far away.
Xie Qingyao and He Zheng climbed the stairs together and entered the hall. Looking up, they could see a golden Buddha, which added to the solemnity.
"Please follow me, benefactors." The monk took them to see Master Jingkong.
It happened that Master Jingkong had returned from his travels, so He Zheng asked someone to inquire about him in advance before setting off.
After listening to Xie Qingyao's explanation of her purpose, Master Jingkong narrowed his eyes and a smile appeared on his kind face.
He first looked at He Zheng and said meaningfully, "Marquis Anguo was born into a noble family and was destined to be extraordinary. However, he encountered a life-or-death calamity when he was about to reach his thirties."
"The old Marquis wanted a way to resolve the problem, so I took the liberty of calculating it and found a birth chart. This person can break the calamity by entering the Marquis' Mansion."
"The old Marquis found the person for this birthday, and it was you, Madam Marquis. However, Madam Marquis was still young at that time, so the old Marquis arranged the marriage first, thus establishing this bond."
Xie Qingyao understood.
She was only six years old, so the old marquis naturally would not specify that she marry He Zheng, as long as she married into the marquis's mansion.
The marriage contract only specified her, but no one was found on the side of the Marquis of Anguo's Mansion.
It's fate after all...
In her previous life, she married He Huaixuan, and the Marquis of Anguo’s life and death crisis was not resolved. In this life, she chose him and broke the life and death crisis.
Xie Qingyao was in a complicated mood. After a moment of silence, she said softly, "Thank you, Master, for your answer."
Living her life over again gave her the opportunity to change her fate, wasn't it also an opportunity for Marquis Anguo?
They all have different life trajectories.
So their fate was formed so many years ago, but they missed it by accident in their previous life.
But there are so many people in the world, why does she have the chance to start over?
Xie Qingyao was curious and said, "I still have a question, and I beg the Master to explain it. If I could have the chance to live my life over again, what would it be?"
Master Jingkong stroked his white beard and spoke slowly, "Perhaps it was God's mercy, or perhaps it was the obsession of the deceased, or something like that."
"The secret of heaven cannot be revealed."
Xie Qingyao was stunned.
When she left Ci'en Temple, she was still thinking about Master Jingkong's last words, "Heavenly secrets cannot be revealed", and was confused for a moment.
He Zheng: "Yaoyao is still thinking about what the master said?"
Xie Qingyao nodded gently, "Yes, but I can't figure it out for the time being, so I can only leave it for the answer later."
She put her hand into He Zheng's palm very naturally.
"Fortunately, I chose the Marquis this time."
He Zheng turned back, intertwined his fingers with hers, and said in a slow and steady voice: "Yaoyao is my lucky star."
Xie Qingyao immediately became very proud, "Of course, I will protect you from now on."
Seeing her arrogant look, He Zheng curled his lips silently.
He does not believe in fate or ghosts or gods.
And since God sent Xie Qingyao to him, he became the most devout believer.
…
At this time, He Huaixuan returned to the Anguo Marquis Mansion.
After recuperating for so many days, his wounds have not yet healed, making his face look a little pale.
When he thought about what he was going to do next, He Huaixuan looked around anxiously and couldn't help feeling a little nervous.
He did have some hesitations about betraying his father.
But it was obvious that the previous plague in Fuzhou had greatly angered King Qin.
If he hadn't shown his value, the King Qin wouldn't have kept him.
There was a sinister look in He Huaixuan's eyes.
"Father, if you want to blame someone, blame yourself for abandoning the son you raised for many years for a woman."
"You were the first to do the unjust thing. Whatever I do is not excessive. It cannot be considered unkind or unfilial."
He Huaixuan walked around He Zheng's study and found that there was no one guarding it and no one was watching.
A hint of surprise flashed across his face. "Father certainly didn't expect me to come back while he was out of the house. It's not surprising that he let his guard down."
But he was much more cautious after all. He waited for a while, making sure that no one would find out, before he went into the study to search it.
After spending a lot of effort, He Huaixuan found what he wanted in a secret compartment.
He had accidentally seen this secret compartment before. At that time, the affection between father and son still existed, and He Zheng would not be on guard against him everywhere.
He Huaixuan swallowed his saliva, got the things, restored everything, quickly left the Marquis' Mansion and headed for Ci'en Temple.
"Your Highness, I got what you wanted."
King Qin narrowed his eyes and took the thing: "You did a good job."
This piece of junk is finally useful.
His spies learned that Marquis Anguo had a list that recorded which members of the Yin family had done what.
This list will definitely become evidence for Marquis Anguo to use against the Yin family in the future.
Must be destroyed.
It would be most appropriate to let He Huaixuan, the son of the Marquis's family, do the stealing.
The Yin family's list must be burned, and those on it must clean up their act and erase all their crimes one by one, so that Marquis Anguo will not be able to catch them.
Without any real evidence, Marquis Anguo cannot punish the Yin family with just his words.
King Qin: "Come here, reward him."
He Huaixuan was ecstatic, and the guilt he felt for betraying He Zheng disappeared in an instant, leaving only complacency.
Look, he is capable, no less capable than his father!
When Xie Qingyao and He Zheng came back, they learned that He Huaixuan had also returned home, but left again soon.
Xie Qingyao frowned slightly: "Why did he come back? I always feel that he has bad intentions."
Now that everything has been said, Xie Qingyao was very direct when she mentioned He Huaixuan.
"He was punished to reflect on his mistakes at Ci'en Temple for his loyalty to the king. Regarding the plague in Fuzhou, it's clear that He Huaixuan has no room to maneuver."
"He should be eager to show himself now so that he can stay by the side of the king."
