However, before the group even reached the room, the eldest princess came to greet them.
Upon seeing this, Ye Qingcheng quickened her pace and walked over.
"Royal Aunt."
"Greetings, Your Highness."
"Um!"
The eldest princess glanced at Qinglian and the others, nodded, and then looked at Ye Qingcheng.
"Princess Consort Han, do you know who those people are?"
Ye Qingcheng shook her head: "I don't know."
"Hmm? You don't know?"
The eldest princess scrutinized Ye Qingcheng with a suspicious look.
Ye Qingcheng nodded: "Mm!"
"Why would Han'er send these people over?"
“Niece-in-law, I just asked. The prince was worried that we might be in danger, so he sent them here to protect us secretly. He was just worried.”
Upon hearing this, the eldest princess still did not believe it, her eyes still filled with doubt, but she did not ask any further questions.
"Imperial Aunt, has the Imperial Grandmother rested?"
"Okay! I'm taking a break."
Ye Qingcheng nodded, then looked at Luan and the others.
"Qingluan, now that you're here, go and help protect the Queen Mother!"
"Yes, Your Highness."
After Qingluan and the others finished speaking, they headed towards the side room.
However, Qinglian and Ningxin stayed by Ye Qingcheng's side.
"Royal Aunt, let's sit over there!"
"good."
The two then moved to a stone bench and sat down.
After the two sat down...
Ye Qingcheng asked Qinglian to bring over pen, ink, and paper, and wrote out a prescription for the Princess.
"Your Majesty, please keep this prescription. After you return to the capital, stop taking your previous medication and start taking the prescription your niece-in-law gave you. You should be able to try it after a month."
The princess accepted the prescription: "Very well, then I thank you very much."
"You're too kind, Your Majesty."
After exchanging a few more pleasantries, the two got up and returned to their respective rooms.
After returning home, Ye Qingcheng did not rest. Instead, she stood by the window curtain, her brows furrowed, pondering the words of Abbess Lingxin.
This way.
After escaping the courtyard, the four masked men did not leave Miaoyin Temple, but returned to the back mountain and hid in the forest.
"Damn it, I didn't expect those women to be so skilled in martial arts. They actually fought us to a draw."
"Um!"
"Shadowless, what do we do now? Damn it, I didn't expect they had a hidden expert protecting them."
"No matter how many experts there are, we still have to complete the mission."
"Completed? How did you complete it? Putting everything else aside, just look at those four women who suddenly appeared just now. Their martial arts skills are much stronger than the four who caught my hidden weapons before."
"That's right, these four women are no less skilled than us in terms of both technique and internal strength."
Moreover, with four other women constantly protecting them, completing the task would be extremely difficult.
"Then what do you suggest we do? Abandon the mission?"
"It's not that we don't want to take the job, the key is that it's difficult to start."
"Sigh! If I had known, I would have sent the Poison King over."
“That’s right. If the Poison Lord comes, he might be able to complete the mission easily with just a wave of his hand.”
"What do you gentlemen want to accomplish your mission?"
Um?
As soon as the man finished speaking, a voice suddenly came from behind them.
Upon hearing this, the four men frowned slightly, exclaimed in confusion, and turned to look at them.
At this time.
Qinglong, Thirteen, Leng Yi, and Leng Er all looked at the four of them with smiles on their lips.
Um?
The four of them trembled when they saw Qinglong and his group.
"Who...who are you?"
"We are here to complete a mission just like you, but we don't know what your mission is?"
"Are you also here to complete a mission?"
"That's right."
"So what mission are you tasked with?"
"We are... Are you planning to attack Princess Han?"
"That's right, are you guys like that too?"
"No, we are here to protect Princess Han."
After Qinglong finished speaking, he drew his longsword, darted out, and took the lead in attacking them.
Thirteen, Leng Yi, and Leng Er also followed.
The four enemy soldiers trembled when they saw Qinglong and his companions suddenly attack.
However, they couldn't just let Qinglong and his men slaughter them. After their initial shock, they all let out a shout.
They engaged in battle with Qinglong and his group.
However, even as they were fighting...
Another group of people, all dressed in black and masked, came toward the front courtyard of the temple.
The group of men in black were agile and moved with great speed, like cheetahs.
Upon seeing the guards standing outside the courtyard, he quietly eliminated them all before leaping into the temple.
now.
Ye Qingcheng was still in the side room, pondering the nun's words, unaware that danger was approaching.
The eldest princess was also lying on the couch, her beautiful eyes closed as if she were falling asleep.
I don't know how much time passed.
"The fire has started."
Suddenly, a sound broke the silence of the entire temple.
Upon hearing this, Ye Qingcheng snapped out of her thoughts, frowned slightly, and turned to walk towards the door.
"Qinglian, Ningxin, what's happening outside?"
"Your Highness, it seems there's been a fire in that area."
"What fire?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Qingcheng opened the door.
"Um!"
"Let's go take a look."
After Ye Qingcheng finished speaking, she hurriedly left the room and headed towards the Empress Dowager's room.
However, the Empress Dowager had already been escorted out of the side room and into the courtyard by Qingluan and the others.
