Chapter 70 The troublemaker is here!
At the same time, in the Royal Palace
An Ye rushed back from Jing'an Temple overnight and was in the study reporting to his prince what happened in Jing'an Temple: "Prince, it seems that there are several masters secretly protecting the third lady. There were indeed several assassins trying to sneak into Jing'an Temple last night.
But before I and the others could make a move, they were taken care of by several others. I observed them secretly and found that these people addressed the Third Young Lady as their master!
Helian Chi listened to An Ye's words with a blank expression, as if he couldn't see what he was thinking.
Until now, everything about Yun Li was beyond his expectations, but it seemed as if it was natural.
Yun Li's bright eyes, which were cunning and smart, appeared in his mind. He couldn't help but chuckle. He finally understood why Yun Li went to Jing'an Temple so easily.
On the surface, it's a punishment, but behind the scenes, it's probably a play between her and the eldest princess...
So she was ready to go to Jing'an Temple. It was interesting! It was really interesting.
But why did she go to Jing'an Temple? Was she trying to avoid the emperor's decree? To temporarily retreat from the spotlight?
Helian Chi supported his chin with one hand and tapped the table with the other hand.
After a while, he opened his thin lips slightly and said in a deep voice: "An Ye, tell her that Concubine Shu will go to Jing'an Temple to pray for blessings tomorrow!"
"Yes! Your Highness! Then do you still want me to secretly protect the Third Young Lady?"
"Go on! Don't let her people find out!"
"Yes, Your Majesty! I obey your command!"
…
Yun Li was sitting at the tea table, concentrating on writing a letter. The content was not long, just a few words.
"Hoo~Hoo~" blew away the ink on the letter paper.
"Cherry, take the letter and the medicine to Ye Er and have him give them to Feng Zhu at the Prime Minister's Mansion!"
"Ah? Miss Yoruji is here? Where is he?"
"He's in the yard. He'll appear if you call him! Be careful not to let Aunt Gui find out!"
"Yes, it is Miss!"
As soon as Cherry left, Strawberry came in with a lunch box and placed the lunch in front of Yunli.
"Miss, this is the lunch I made for you in the kitchen! Hey, the food these monks eat is so bland, without any meat or fish. The little monk said that these mushrooms were just picked from the mountain this morning, and they are very fresh! So I coated these mushrooms in batter and fried them!
I sprinkled the salt and pepper seasoning that the lady had given me before, and I took a bite. It was crispy and delicious!
Miss, please try it!"
Yunli listened to Strawberry's chatter with a smile, picked up a piece of mushroom, took a bite, and it was indeed good! But it would be even better if there was some chili powder...
"Not bad! Your cooking skills are getting better and better now! That's great!"
Strawberry lowered her head shyly, with a blush on her face
Yun Li looked at her and laughed out loud. She couldn't help but think that this girl was really thin-skinned. She blushed when she just said something casually complimenting him. It also showed that such people had pure and innocent minds.
"Call Baizhi to come and have lunch together."
"Baizhi went to the little monk to get incense! Don't worry, miss, I saved lunch for Baizhi and Yingtao! You eat first, I'll eat with them later!"
Yun Li nodded and said nothing more, eating lunch quietly. Although they were all vegetarian dishes, they were fresh and it was not bad to have such a meal occasionally! Anyway, she could always have a snack when she was hungry, so it didn't matter what she ate.
With a "whoosh..." sound, a long arrow shot through the window and hit the pillar in the house.
Strawberry exclaimed "Miss"
Yun Li stood up and glanced out the window coldly, then turned to look at the long arrow stuck on the pillar. It seemed that there was a note on the arrow.
So she walked over, pulled the arrow off the pillar, opened the note, and after reading the contents inside, she couldn't help but sneer.
He murmured to himself, "Tsk tsk ~ pray for the country's destiny..."
"Miss, who sent this letter? And in this way? I'm scared to death!"
Yun Li shook her head. "I don't know, but it's okay. Go ask the little monk for some window paper to patch up the hole in the window!"
"Okay, Miss," Strawberry left the room and closed the door.
Yun Li returned to the table and read the note over and over again. Unable to make sense of it, she threw the note into the trash can in the space!
No matter who sent it, it seems that there is no malicious intent at the moment. It is just to send her a message in advance. However, this message has no value to her.
She knew that there would be no peace when she came to Jing'an Temple. Concubine Shu came to Jing'an Temple tomorrow under the pretext of praying for the country's fortune just to vent her anger on the Third Princess.
What a waste of time! Concubine Shu also invited all the noble ladies and ladies from the capital. How much punishment is she going to give her in front of so many people to establish her prestige?
Tsk tsk~ She is so looking forward to it
…
The next morning, the abbot of Jing'an Temple received the news that the Queen Mother from the palace was coming to burn incense and pray for blessings, so he led the monks in the temple to clean up and prepare the incense and items for the prayer.
The people in the temple were busy, but Yunli was not affected. She continued to sleep and woke up naturally. When she woke up, it was already noon.
Even if Concubine Shu and the others drove their carriage as fast as possible, it would be afternoon when they arrived at Jing'an Temple.
After all, these ladies are all spoiled and it is very troublesome for them to travel. When they get to the foot of the mountain, they can’t take a carriage and have to climb a long flight of stairs to reach the temple.
When night fell, Concubine Shu came to the temple with a group of noble ladies. The abbot and the temple people stood at the door to greet them.
Everyone looked very embarrassed. The ladies were panting and the ladies' sweat had smudged their makeup.
The abbot put his hands together, bowed and said, "Amitabha, greetings to the Empress Shufei."
"The abbot has invited me to Jing'an Temple. I'm here to pray for the prosperity of Yueqi Nation in the name of the Emperor. I'll be staying at Jing'an Temple for a few days. Sorry to bother you, abbot!"
"Your Highness, you are so polite! You have come from afar to bring honor to my humble Jing'an Temple!
The guest rooms in the east and west courtyards of the temple have been cleaned. Your Highness and the ladies, please move to the backyard to rest for a while!"
Concubine Shu nodded and hurried into the temple. She couldn't wait to wash and change her clothes. The sticky smell of sweat mixed with the smell of rouge and powder on her body was really unbearable for her.
…
"Hey, Xia Yanzhi, wait for me!"
Wei Sisi ran to Xia Yanzhi holding up her skirt
Xia Yanzhi looked at her blankly: "What's wrong, Miss Wei?"
Wei Sisi looked around, and after the other ladies and ladies had gone over, she whispered, "You came here alone, and I came here alone too, so let's live together!"
Xia Yanzhi was extremely surprised. She swallowed her saliva and said dryly, "Ah? We...we don't seem to be familiar with each other..."
"No, we're not familiar with each other. After what happened last time, we can be considered to have shared hardships! We're staying together tonight, so we're familiar with each other now! To be honest, the main reason I came to Jing'an Temple was to see Yunli. I owe her a thank you!"
I also feel that Concubine Shu came to Jing'an Temple to pray for blessings this time for a purpose! Have you heard about her beating the Third Princess? It's all spread, so I have to tell her in advance so she can prepare!
