"It's too late. You should go back. It's windy at night. Please take care of yourself."
After Xie Yunhe gently comforted Cheng Lian, he took off his cloak and covered her with it.
This man is like this, no matter how cold-hearted he is, he can always coax her with the gentlest words.
Cheng Lian almost fell into his gentle trap.
It was not until Cheng Lian saw him turn a corner in the night and walk towards Cheng Sang's yard that her heart sank to the bottom.
Did Cheng Sang feel so uncomfortable in the past?
No.
Cheng Sang is crazy. She has no idea what it feels like to feel uncomfortable.
Only I have to bear all the pain from beginning to end.
"lady."
The maid called out softly.
I only dared to speak this loudly.
Cheng Lian had been publicly "called" by the young lady a maidservant. The maidservant was afraid that if she called "Madam" the people in the main room would hear her and chase her out.
Cheng Lian took a deep breath and asked slowly, "Prepare the carriage, I want to leave the house."
"Ma'am, it's very late now..."
"Now I can't even order a little maid around, right?"
"No, ma'am!"
The maid turned pale with fright. The lady had become more and more moody lately.
The maid prepared a carriage, and Cheng Lian got in it and went to the dyeing workshop, found Uncle Han, and asked him to go to the Holy Maiden Temple.
She didn't care about it at first. He was just a little liar from town. So what if he got first place by chance?
The final position of the Saint will not fall into her hands.
But she suddenly didn't want that girl to have any good life.
The thought of Cheng Sang being complacent because of that girl's first place made her feel sick, jealous, and crazy! "Madam, are you sure you want to do this?" Uncle Han asked.
"Even you are questioning my decision?" Cheng Lian asked unhappily.
Uncle Han sensed Cheng Lian's anger. He did not ask what happened, but said, "I just think that the privilege in the hands of the Saint is extremely important. It won't be too late to use it at the last minute."
The Saint cannot directly decide who will become the next Saint, but she can decide who cannot become a Saint.
This is the privilege of the saint.
But it can only be used once.
That’s why Uncle Han said it’s more appropriate to use it at the end.
Cheng Lian said, "I have made up my mind. You go find the Saint. I don't want to see that girl in the next round."
Uncle Han sighed helplessly: "Yes."
Uncle Han immediately took a batch of satin to the Holy Maiden Temple.
But he was told that something happened to the saint.
In the meeting hall, the eight elders gathered and sat on both sides, and the saint stood in the middle of the hall.
"I said, I don't know those children, and I didn't break the rules of the Saint's Palace."
Elder Ji smiled and said, "But what about those three children? They called you mom in public. This is an indisputable fact. You can't deny it, right?"
The Saint looked at her coldly: "Doesn't Elder Ji know this better than me?"
Elder Ji chuckled and said, "Don't put the blame on me. It's as if those children were brought by the Ji family and I."
That’s right, the assassin that night was indeed arranged by the Ji family, and the rumor that the Saint Girl had given birth to several children was also spread by those men in black.
But she didn't make up the child out of thin air.
If there really weren't children in the secret room of Qionghua Palace, who would have thought of using triplets to "frame" the Saint? Triplets sound fake, right?
The current situation is that the Saint is certain that the triplets and the little girl were brought by the Ji family, while Elder Ji is certain that the children were secretly born by the Saint herself.
Elder Ji said, "Five years ago, you left the temple and traveled around. You were gone for more than half a year. Who knows if you gave birth to triplets at that time?"
The saint asked back: "What did the girl say?"
"Okay, stop arguing." The oldest elder, Lou, spoke slowly.
She is the most senior elder, and even the saint has to give her some respect.
The Saint said solemnly: "If you don't believe me, I am willing to accept the physical examination."
"No need." Elder Lou said, "The Saint Girl should stay in the Holy Mountain for a few days first."
"Why?"
The Holy Mountain is a forbidden area of the Holy Maiden Temple. Except for the periodic opening for the Holy Selection, people can only enter to collect herbs or receive punishment.
This situation is obviously not the right one for the Saint to go and collect herbs.
"I did nothing wrong, why am I being punished?"
The saint refused to accept.
A feminine voice sounded slowly from outside the hall.
The Saint turned around and said, "Eunuch Jin."
Eunuch Jin is about thirty years old and is a handsome eunuch.
There was a faint smile on his lips, but the sharpness in his eyes was chilling: "I wonder if the Saint has any objections?"
If the personal behavior of the Saint brings shame to the Saint's Palace, she should be punished. This is the rule and commandment of the Saint's Palace.
"Qingyao has no objection." The saint said lightly.
Eunuch Jin smiled and said, "The next Holy Selection will not trouble the Saint Lady."
This means that she is not allowed to participate anymore.
The saint clenched her fingers.
Eunuch Jin smiled and said, "Also, His Majesty asked me to ask the Saint for something."
…
"You should go back quickly." Outside the Saint's Palace, Envoy Lu said to Uncle Han, "Don't come here again recently. The Saint is in the center of the storm, her reputation has been damaged, and even the royal family has been alarmed."
The people of southern Xinjiang believe in the Temple of the Holy Maiden. The more devout they are, the more they cannot tolerate any injustice.
They firmly believed that if the saint was unclean, it would incur the wrath of God and bring disaster to the entire southern Xinjiang.
Uncle Han didn't expect this to happen.
She had been a saint for so many years and had never made any mistakes. She was about to step down in glory, but suddenly this went wrong.
This will destroy the saint's wisdom in an instant——
Uncle Han left with a headache.
It seems that the lady’s instructions cannot be completed.
Fortunately, everything that needed to be planned had been completed, and the second young lady's position as the saint was almost certain.
The most important thing right now is to find a way to prove the saint's innocence.
"Where on earth did the Ji family get these triplets? I've lived for so many years, but this is the first time I've seen them..."
In the carriage, Uncle Han was puzzled.
When he reacted, he suddenly realized something was wrong.
He quickly opened the curtain and looked at the coachman.
This is not his driver, he is too big!
"Who are you?" he asked warily.
The other party didn't say anything, but knocked him out with a backhanded iron fist.
A literal iron fist.
After all, Wei Liulang's golden arm is indeed made of metal.
When Uncle Han woke up, he found himself blindfolded, his hands and feet tied, and sitting on a cold chair.
"woke up?"
Wei Ting asked coldly.
Uncle Han frowned. He felt that the voice was familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it.
"Don't waste your time talking to him. I'll cut off one of his fingers first." Wei Liulang said as he pulled out the dagger and grabbed Uncle Han's hand.
Uncle Han was terrified and struggled on his chair: "What are you doing! Stop! Stop!"
Wei Liulang threatened: "If you don't want us to cut off your fingers, then tell us the truth. Why did the Saint Lady capture Wei Xu?"
Wei Xu?
They actually found out the identity of that person? Uncle Han asked, "Are you... a member of the Ji family?"
"Do you want to silence me, brother?"
Wei Ting asked.
Killing someone... It really is from the Ji family! Gui Bu said, "If he is willing to cooperate, I will spare his life."
Wei Liulang tapped Uncle Han's face with his dagger: "Did you hear that? Our eldest brother said that if you cooperate obediently, I won't kill you. But if I find out that you lie, I will chop off your fingers one by one and feed them to you!"
Uncle Han shuddered.
The three brothers have endless ways of torturing people.
Uncle Han finally couldn't resist and tremblingly confessed the truth he knew.
"It is for the great cause of restoring the country... Wei Xu... is a descendant of Emperor Wu!"
