Chapter 350 Yun Qingqing stops the car
Xiao Changheng immediately smelled something wrong when he saw the glass of wine poured by the Fourth Princess at the banquet.
Given his style of doing things, it wouldn't be surprising even if he overturned the table on the spot. However, this mission also had a mission assigned by his royal brother. If he turned against the Nanyu royal family now, there would inevitably be some trouble.
But he didn't expect Princess Mingyue to suddenly appear, replace the wine and help him out.
Not to mention the current situation.
The incense burner in the room was also the work of the Fourth Princess. Xiao Changheng had been prepared for this, but things developed beyond his expectations and Princess Mingyue got the upper hand and dealt with the person first.
It was impossible for him not to be curious about why the princess helped him.
Princess Mingyue glanced at the chaotic situation in the room and snorted softly:
"Your Highness, don't worry too much. I took action because their target was you and me. They wanted to force me to marry into the Liang Kingdom. I naturally couldn't just sit there and wait for death. This is one of the reasons."
Xiao Changheng's eyes turned slightly cold, he nodded in understanding, and then said:
"And the second one?"
Princess Mingyue looked at him for a moment, then suddenly put away her careless expression and bowed to him seriously:
"The second reason is that my brother was saved by the Regent Princess when he was in Liang State. Now I am just helping the prince with a little effort, which is nothing compared to the grace of saving his life."
"Please convey my gratitude to the princess after you return home."
Hearing her mention Yun Qingqing, Xiao Changheng's expression softened and he nodded:
"I will definitely pass on the princess's words."
The fourth princess' panicked scream was heard in the room, saying that someone was deliberately harming her. Princess Mingyue curled her lips coldly.
"Yujing has been in unrest recently, Your Majesty, please be careful. If you need anything, you can come to the princess's mansion to find me." She left these words and turned to walk towards the room.
With her ability, cleaning up the mess was no problem for her. Xiao Changheng turned around and left the scene.
He returned to his yard, walked to the door of the room, and was about to push it open when he suddenly stopped.
"Your Highness?" Nan Zheng immediately became alert and held the hilt of the knife.
Xiao Changheng lowered his head and picked up the stone tablet at his waist, only to feel that the stone tablet was getting hot.
He curved his brows, raised his hand to let everyone else leave, then pushed the door open and walked in.
…
…
Imperial Capital, Fahua Temple.
Xiao Zirui and Yun Bailian came to the temple and reported their identities. Someone immediately led them to the back hall.
An old monk came forward with his hands clasped together. It was the abbot Jinghui.
"Amitabha, I have been waiting for you for a long time. I am honored to meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Majesty the Crown Princess."
Xiao Zirui smiled and replied:
"I think Master Jinghui already knows why we are here."
Jinghui nodded and asked the little monk to bring a tray covered with silk cloth, on which was placed an antique wooden box.
"This is the spiritual object that Senior Brother Abbot asked someone to bring back from thousands of miles away."
Xiao Zirui showed joy on his face and was about to reach out for the wooden box, but Jinghui raised her hand to stop him.
"Your Highness, forgive me. Brother Abbot specifically stated that this box must be handed over to Tianfeng and opened by her personally."
Xiao Zirui was stunned:
"So, you haven't opened it to see what's inside before?"
Jinghui shook his head and said:
"Brother Abbot has given us orders, and we shall obey. Since this spiritual object was delivered here, no one has opened it, and we still don't know what is inside."
When Xiao Zirui heard him say this, he was not annoyed at all, but became more satisfied.
He turned his head and glanced at Yun Bailian:
"Everyone in the Imperial Capital knows that the Crown Princess is the Phoenix of Heaven. I brought her here today to receive the spiritual object. Can I hand it over to her now?"
Jinghui clasped his hands together, took the tray and placed it on the table in front of them.
“It’s natural.”
Yun Bailian walked forward excitedly, took a deep breath, and slowly opened the lid of the box.
Inside was a strange ring-shaped object, like a bracelet.
Its material is neither gold nor jade, but it has the luster of gold and jade. It is obviously pure white, but it seems to have colorful light flowing on it, making people unable to take their eyes away.
The patterns on it are hollow and so delicate that they do not look like they were carved by humans. A closer look reveals that the ring is not closed. It looks like a long, delicate feather wrapped in a circle.
It is so beautiful that it seems beyond human reach.
Yun Bailian couldn't help but stare at it in amazement, and subconsciously reached out to pick it up.
But before she could touch it, she felt something stabbed her hand. She pulled her hand back abruptly and held back a scream.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Zirui asked when he saw that something was wrong with her movements.
Yun Bailian looked down at her hand and didn't see anything unusual, but she felt half of her arm was numb and her heart couldn't help but skip a beat.
"No, it's okay!" She suppressed her worries and smiled at Xiao Zirui.
"I just feel that this spiritual object looks too delicate and fragile. It's better to be careful. Let's take it back first."
As she spoke, she closed the lid and took the entire box in her hands. Sure enough, there was nothing unusual.
Xiao Zirui had already been amazed by this spiritual object, and was filled with the belief that this object was indeed extraordinary. He did not notice Yun Bailian's abnormality, and immediately said in agreement:
"That's right, let's go back home first."
The two of them successfully obtained the spiritual object and came out of the Fahua Temple in a good mood. They walked out of the temple accompanied by Jinghui.
Before leaving, Xiao Zirui asked again:
"Master Jinghui, I heard that the abbot's travels are about to end. Is that true?"
Jinghui nodded, stroked his beard and said:
"Brother will be returning to the temple soon and will give a lecture."
"Really? This is great!" Xiao Zirui was overjoyed.
It is a rare opportunity to have a great monk like Master Jingyuan give a lecture. I am sure that my father will be very happy to hear the news, and the royal family and officials will definitely be present.
He immediately decided to go to the palace right away to tell his father the good news. He had been worried for so long and he could finally make a good impression.
Xiao Zirui and Yun Bailian went down the mountain, got on a carriage without the Prince's Mansion logo, and headed straight for the palace.
At the same time, Xiao Zirui also instructed his confidants to spread the news that Master Jingyuan had specially asked someone to bring the spiritual object back to Tianfeng, and that the Crown Princess had already brought the spiritual object back to her house.
Previously, at Yun Bailian's reminder, he was worried that something might go wrong and someone might get there first, so he had already arranged for someone to suppress the news.
Not only that, he also made a special trip to mention the matter to the Queen, asking her to find a reason to convince the Emperor to keep the matter secret until the spiritual object was retrieved.
His heart was finally at peace. He looked at Yun Bailian with particular favor. He reached out in the carriage, took her into his arms, and stroked her face.
"It is my good fortune to have Tianfeng as my wife. Bai Lian, you have done a great deed this time! Is there any reward you want? I will definitely grant it!"
Yun Bailian was delighted and was about to speak as she leaned into his arms.
Suddenly the carriage jolted to a stop, and the two men were jolted hard and almost collided with each other.
Xiao Zirui said angrily:
"What's going on!"
Suddenly, a familiar and cold voice came from outside the car:
"Xiao Zirui, get down here!"
He was stunned.
Yun Qingqing?
Why did she stop her own carriage?
