The Emperor and the Crown Prince: ? ? ?
Xiao Rou Rou frowned, clearly disliking the fortune teller.
Di Yanhen was even more furious: "You big bastard, how dare you swindle even the royal family's money!"
Upon hearing his angry rebuke, Xiao Tang immediately raised her index finger and shook it.
"No, no, no, Seventh Prince, there's a saying that goes, 'Spend money to avoid trouble.'"
She glanced at Di Yanhen.
"Didn't you come here today to ward off disaster?"
Di Yanhen's expression froze for a moment. He felt embarrassed that Xiao Tang had revealed the purpose of his visit.
He's here to ward off disaster!
And he was there specifically to pray for a child!
He had slept with Xiao Rourou many times, but the woman's belly remained unchanged.
He's eager to have children.
Because both the Empress Dowager and the Emperor had a particular fondness for children.
Otherwise, the emperor would not have passed the position of crown prince to his youngest son.
He wants to try his best to have a child with Xiao Rourou...
Xiao Tang smiled sideways, her expression as if she could see right through him, and said, "I've heard there's a mysterious hot spring pool called the 'Fertility Pool.' Would you like to try it with the Seventh Princess?"
"It's not expensive, just a thousand taels."
Di Yanhen's expression grew increasingly dark, almost turning into charcoal.
"You... what kind of fortune teller are you! I think you're just a swindler!"
He pointed at Xiao Tang tremblingly, gritting his teeth and cursing bitterly.
Xiao Tang's smile gradually turned dangerous.
"If you think it is, then it is!"
Anyway, it doesn't matter anymore~
"You're so rich, yet so stingy. That just doesn't make sense."
Besides, I took your money, and I just used it to buy some extra food for the monks at Lingyin Temple. Consider it a good deed.
No matter how many good deeds you do, you can't get rid of the bad luck on Di Yanhen.
Anyway, he's just an unlucky guy.
Di Jingling watched indifferently from the side, then suddenly spoke up: "Okay."
He looked at Xiao Tang, his eyes narrowed.
The gaze was chilling.
But even with just that one look, Xiao Tang could only glean a slight deeper meaning.
Despite the overwhelming gaze, Xiao Tang still smiled and said, "Very well, I'll have someone arrange things for you."
The abbot standing to the side couldn't get a word in edgewise.
He was completely dumbfounded.
It's unbelievable that Xiao Tang acted on his own initiative, and... where did they get a... fertility hot spring from the hot spring behind their mountain?!
But now, as the abbot of a temple, he cannot say that he has no responsibility.
After all, to say there wasn't any would be to deceive the emperor!
The Emperor is alright, but the Regent is not to be trifled with.
Xiao Tang nodded and patted the abbot's chest.
It was as if he was being told not to worry.
Gu Ming secretly touched his forehead, feeling guilty.
This... this female benefactor is truly a capable person!
...
Several young monks went to arrange accommodations and inquire about the hot springs on the back mountain.
Therefore, he immediately pulled Xiao Tang along, saying, "Female benefactor, you cannot lie and deceive people, especially not the Emperor and the Regent."
These people—any one of them who offends them will get their head chopped off.
He was really worried.
He'll die then...
Xiao Tang patted the abbot's shoulder solemnly, "Don't worry, nothing will happen."
"Master, I'll give you the money I received later; consider it payment for my lodging these past few days."
"This...this won't do!"
Gu Ming was startled and shook his head repeatedly, saying that he couldn't just take the money so easily.
He doesn't have that kind of guts.
Xiao Tang pursed her lips, but did not respond further.
She knew the abbot was an honest man.
However, the male protagonist is not an honest person.
If the abbot knew his fate in the book, his attitude would probably change drastically.
Before ascending the throne, the male protagonist, Di Yanhen, burned down Lingyin Temple.
Bloodshed at the temple.
After all, the abbot had claimed that the one truly possessing the qualities of an emperor was the regent, not his seventh son.
For this reason alone, Di Yanhen held a grudge.
Xiao Tang thought that this master was not a bad person, and helping him swindle some money was a small matter.
...
The night grew a little cooler, and steam rose from the hot spring.
Xiao Tang stood outside the hot spring cave, looking around.
Her massage task still needs to be completed.
But for now...
Judging from the situation, I wonder if she'll be kicked out if she goes in.
[System, how much more time do I need to complete this task?]
[Host, you only have half an hour left.]
[...]
What's going on? Suddenly there's only half an hour left?
This system is getting worse and worse!
Ruyi rushed over and saw Xiao Tang standing at the cave entrance. She turned pale with nervousness.
Clutching two bundles, her face tense, she deliberately lowered her voice: "Your Highness, let's run!"
The Regent has come knocking on our door!
If this drags on, they're definitely going to lose their heads.
"Don't be silly, don't be afraid, neither of us will recognize you now."
Xiao Tang patted Ruyi's little head reassuringly.
She was now focused solely on completing the mission and had no time to think about escaping.
[It's just a two-dimensional character, it can't possibly fly to the sky!]
"Alright, you go back and rest first. I have something to take care of."
After Xiao Tang finished speaking, he immediately rolled up his sleeves and strode into the cave with a proud and imposing air!
Ruyi watched her leave with longing eyes...
The more I look at it, the more I feel that the princess is facing death with a clear conscience...
White mist filled the cave, and Xiao Tang immediately spotted the man sitting cross-legged by the pool.
There are eight hot spring pools in this cave, and coincidentally, each pool is separated by a stone wall.
