She gave the man a smile.
Her smile was gentle, but it was quite an eyesore on Hao Fang's face.
Di Jingling gave her a deep look, then turned and left.
No further words were needed.
Based on the villain's usual behavior, he would typically threaten her before leaving.
Surprisingly, he didn't threaten her today. It seems he knew that his threats wouldn't have much effect.
Xiao Tang went to the window and watched as masked men in black searched the streets. The scene was a bit exaggerated.
Her lips twitched.
Isn't that a bit too ostentatious?
Moreover, this was on the territory of the Marquis of Dingbei.
Who knows, the Marquis of Dingbei might come looking for trouble with them later.
Xiao Tang waited in the house for quite some time.
Until it got dark.
As darkness fell and none of Yan Jiu and the others returned, she began to worry.
Ruyi got sleepy while waiting and took a nap on the table.
Xiao Tang paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back.
What happened to the auspicious sign?
Although obtaining the medicinal herbs went smoothly, the antics caused by the young emperor were anything but smooth.
She glanced at Ruyi and took out a compass from her bosom.
Let's use a compass to find them!
...
Xiao Tang never expected that the compass would point to Jingyin Temple.
Jingyin Temple is located in the forest outside Rongzhou, a place of tranquility and serenity.
As she arrived at the gate of Jingyin Temple, she heard the sound of a wooden fish.
Jingyin Temple is not large.
Moreover, most of the buildings constructed in this forest are in the style of pavilions.
Xiao Tang casually asked a young monk and indeed learned that the young emperor was here.
She rushed over.
However, she discovered that all the monks in the Jingyin Temple were dull and lifeless.
They were as if their souls had been inexplicably ripped out, like walking corpses, or even more like soulless puppets.
I never imagined that the Heartbreak Grass would have such a powerful effect.
She arrived at the door of the abbot's residence.
Inside the room, Di Yanqing's howling voice could be heard: "I won't drink! I won't drink! Let me go!"
You can tell just by listening to the sound how excitedly the little baby is resisting.
Then the abbot's voice rang out: "Your Majesty, drink this heart-severing medicine, and when you grow up, you will no longer be affected by the seven emotions and six desires."
"I don't want to!"
"Waaaaah, I'm going to tell my royal uncle that he's going to burn down your dilapidated temple."
The abbot laughed, "Little brat, you were the one who asked me how to get rid of this throne, and I kindly told you what to do. Why are you blaming me now?"
Di Yanqing screamed in terror.
Xiao Tang frowned and kicked the door open.
Just then, they saw an old monk with a wrinkled face, holding Di Yanqing in one hand and carrying a bowl of medicine in the other.
Judging from this posture, they probably really wanted to force the medicine into the child's mouth.
He's just a child, isn't this abbot being a bit too cruel?
Xiao Tang truly did not expect that her worldview would be shattered.
Hearing the noise, the two of them looked in Xiao Tang's direction at the same time.
The abbot frowned. "Who are you?"
His face was already full of wrinkles, and when he frowned like that, his whole face looked ferocious.
"You old bald monk, let me go!" When Di Yanqing saw Xiao Tang arrive, his courage only grew stronger.
With Hao Fang, this extraordinary person, as his backer, what does he have to fear?
"You!" The abbot was so angry at being called an old bald monk that he vomited blood.
He suddenly glared at Xiao Tang, "You want to save this child, right?"
"Abbot, isn't it a bit too much for you to threaten a child?"
Xiao Tang crossed her arms and said, "Here's a suggestion: release the child as soon as possible."
Di Yanqing also shouted proudly, "Yes, yes, let me go!"
He was full of arrogance, howling loudly.
It's like a bullied child who suddenly gets excited when they see their parents appear.
Xiao Tang stood aside watching, her lips twitching slightly.
"How can we release this child? Wouldn't it be a waste for me to prepare this medicine?"
He glanced at Xiao Tang and said, "Unless you drink this bowl of medicine for him, this child will never be let go."
Hearing this, Xiao Tang was so angry she laughed.
He really is an old bald monk.
How could there be such a disliked and awful monk?
She's seen it all in her lifetime.
What if I don't agree?
"Then I'll force it down his throat!" The old monk glared, his eyes almost bulging out, his expression ferocious.
Xiao Tang suddenly stopped looking.
I saw the fierce black aura shrouding the old monk.
That's resentment.
How much resentment is there?
He actually vented all his resentment on others, and all the monks in Jingyin Temple were poisoned by his medicine.
Not only that, but if you stay with this old monk for a long time, you will also be infected by the resentment that has accumulated in him.
It's simply because those monks have no emotions or desires; they can't bring themselves to hate or resent.
Why doesn't this old monk concoct his own medicine to sever his seven emotions and six desires?
"Release them. I don't want this to happen again." Xiao Tang said, her hands hidden in her sleeves.
She had already reached for the silver needles.
If she didn't prick that old bald monk, she really wouldn't be able to vent her anger!
Di Yanqing was being carried by the old monk, looking pitifully in Xiao Tang's direction. Sensing Xiao Tang's anger, he suddenly felt a warmth in his heart.
Uncle Hao Fang is still the best.
Hao Fang would also get angry because of his safety.
