Although Lin Zhiyao also wanted to drag this ignorant village girl away and beat her to death, her aunt's open and aboveboard approach could easily provoke resistance from Lu Zhixing.
Now Lu Zhixing has developed a rebellious heart towards the Lin family. There are many ways to kill this village girl, so why should he confront Lu Zhixing head-on over this?
"Wait." Lin Zhiyao stopped the palace maids from approaching and turned to the Queen, "Aunt, this Miss Nie might be a little nervous because this is her first time in the palace. Just let Nanny Qin discipline her. Why get so angry?"
The queen was still angry and was about to refute, but she saw Nanny Qin beside her, and she also shook her head at her.
Nanny Qin grew up with the Queen and became her confidante after entering the palace. The Queen paused, then waved her hand in disgust, "Just do as Yaoyao said. Take this vulgar country girl away and teach her a lesson!"
Nie Yiyue, who had been frightened to the ground by the Queen's aura, was overwhelmed with gratitude when she heard Lin Zhiyao pleading for her.
Receiving Nie Yiyue's grateful gaze, Lin Zhiyao came up with another plan. She leaned over and said something to the queen before leaving Kunning Palace.
Soon, the news from the palace was passed on to Song Yushu through spies. She frowned and was a little worried.
Don't be fooled by Nie Yiyue's appearance of being very scheming. In fact, she is just a fool and will definitely not survive in the cannibalistic palace.
Lu Zhixing propped up his head and glanced at Song Yushu, who was frowning and thinking deeply while holding the message. He snorted softly, "You want to control everything? Do you really think you are Guanyin Bodhisattva? The Taoist temple we are going to now is a dangerous place. You should worry about yourself!"
The people in their group were all elite soldiers, and only Song Yushu did not know martial arts. Lu Zhixing was afraid that something might go wrong, so he secretly placed several sentries to be responsible for Song Yushu's safety.
But she was not worried about herself at all, but was worried about others.
"After all, we were the ones who brought her in, so we still have to take care of her." Song Yushu sighed and spread his hands. "It's a common problem among doctors. Even I can't control it..."
"We have people in the palace, so we can just save her life. She chose this path herself, so she can't blame anyone else." Lu Zhixing thought for a moment, then pulled out a delicate and exquisite sleeve arrow from his sleeve and handed it to Song Yushu. "Take this with you. It will save your life when necessary."
Song Yushu took it and looked at it carefully. The weapons of this era were not only of the highest quality but also extremely exquisite. They were really powerful, but they were too advanced and she didn't know how to carry them.
Suddenly, Lu Zhixing took a step forward, grabbed Song Yushu's hand, gently lifted her sleeve, and carefully put the crossbow on her.
"This is the firing mechanism. The arrows are poisoned and will kill with one strike." Song Yushu's figure was reflected in Lu Zhixing's beautiful eyes. "Don't give the enemy a chance to turn the tables."
The warm breath gently touched Song Yushu's earlobe, and her whole body was enveloped by his faint scent. Soon, Song Yushu's white and tender ears slowly turned red, and she moved uncomfortably.
Lu Zhixing looked at the red little ears and felt itchy. He really wanted to play with them, but he was afraid of scaring the little liar, so he suppressed his desire. However, when he saw Song Yushu wanted to stay away from him, Lu Zhixing couldn't help but put his arms around Song Yushu.
"Don't move, I'll teach you how to use it."
Song Yushu had never been in love in his two lives, let alone being held in the arms of a man like this, and a stunningly handsome man at that. Who could resist this?
Seeing Song Yushu's cheeks flushed and his extremely nervous look, Lu Zhixing seemed to have found a way to have fun. He looked at Song Yushu seriously, who couldn't help but stare at him, and said, "Why are you looking at me? Look ahead."
Song Yushu had no choice but to turn his head away in panic and let Lu Zhixing fiddle with his hands.
"Arms straight."
"Press here and the crossbow will fly out."
With a whoosh, the crossbow on Song Yushu's arm fired a short arrow, heading straight for Liu Bai who was riding in front.
"Be careful!" Song Yushu was so scared that she almost stood up. If Lu Zhixing hadn't held her down, she would probably have rolled off the carriage.
Lu Zhixing held the man in his arms, his face showing annoyance, "Be careful!"
"No, you just now, you..." Song Yushu was originally tempted by Lu Zhixing's beauty and couldn't turn around. Then he was frightened by Lu Zhixing's move and became incoherent.
"If Liu Bai can't even catch the hidden weapons you launch, then there's no need for her to stay with me." Lu Zhixing saw that he had really scared her, and gently placed his big hand on Song Yushu's back to soothe her breath. "It's okay, look."
Following the direction that Lu Zhixing pointed to, Song Yushu saw Liu Bai, with a cold face, calmly putting the sleeve arrow into his arms.
The prince is becoming more and more childish. He plays this kind of game with Song Yushu. It's a pity that I have to clean up their mess.
Seeing that Liu Bai was fine, Song Yushu breathed a sigh of relief. Suddenly, he realized that he was still in Lu Zhixing's arms. He got angry and broke free. "Thank you, Your Highness. I'll just study it myself."
Wow, this little liar's temper is really getting worse and worse. He even dares to turn his back on me~
Lu Zhixing propped up his head and looked at Song Yushu with great interest, and found the little liar more and more interesting.
Their first stop was the Yuqing Temple, which was under the name of the Ministry of Rites. It was not far away, and Lu Zhixing arrived before he had seen enough, so his face was sour when he got off the carriage.
A Taoist priest was waiting in front of the gate of Yuqing Temple early in the morning, but judging from his age, he was not the master of the temple.
"Yuxuzi is here to welcome His Majesty King Jing." Yuxuzi brought the little Taoist boy to pay his respects to Lu Zhixing.
But they didn't expect that Lu Zhixing didn't even look at them and walked straight in.
Song Yushu stopped Yuxuzi who was about to chase him and said, "Master, your Yuqing Temple is such a grand place. His Royal Highness Prince Jing is here in person, and you just sent a small fry like you and you think you can get rid of him? If you don't want the prince to demolish the Yuqing Temple, please inform your temple master."
After saying that, he turned around and left without listening to Yuxuzi.
"Hey, Eunuch Song..." Yuxuzi wanted to step forward to explain, but was stopped by the guards. He and the Taoist boy looked at each other, and finally had to leave.
When Taoist Qingfeng, the head of Yuqing Temple, arrived, Lu Zhixing was forcing a Taoist priest in front of the temple to interpret the divination sticks, as if any unpleasant words he said would dampen his momentum.
"The abbot of Yuqing Temple, Qingfeng, greets His Royal Highness Prince Jing. May His Royal Highness live a thousand years." Taoist Qingfeng was a thin old man with a gleam in his eyes. He was able to move slowly despite seeing this scene.
"I don't think you want me to live a thousand years." Lu Zhixing quickly pulled out the sword from Liu Bai's body and placed it on the neck of Taoist Jieqian. "Since you don't take me seriously, I have no choice but to save my face."
Taoist Qingfeng saw that the Taoist priest who was being held down by Lu Zhixing was bleeding from his neck, and finally stopped being so reserved. "Your Highness, Prince Jing, please forgive me. Recently, the temple is developing an elixir for His Highness, Prince Yu. We are indeed short of manpower. I hope you will not blame me if I have neglected Your Highness."
