Chapter 63 This is a Nun
Fu Yi's expression didn't change at all. He said slowly, "Buddha saves those who are destined to be saved, not people like you."
Li Jinjiang casually sat down at the door and said, "What a coincidence! This female master told me earlier that she felt we had a connection."
Fu Yi raised his eyes and glanced at Cheng Nianying, a smile still on his lips.
But everyone around held their breath unconsciously.
"Okay, go ahead." Fu Yi said lightly.
"Then everyone..."
The emperor sighed, clasped his hands together like a great monk, and said, "Your generosity is such a great benefactor, but I'm afraid I don't have the time to go."
Li Jinjiang's eyes were filled with excitement. It would be better if neither of them went.
Of course, it would be nice to go.
If the little nun disobeys, just arrest her master and use him as a threat.
The emperor named the prince by his Dharma name and said, "Zhiqing, you go with her."
The prince's expression changed slightly: "I..." He met the emperor's eyes and could only answer: "Yes."
Li Jinjiang clasped his hands together and smiled from ear to ear: "Then let's go now."
Cheng Nianying didn't expect that no one would stop her, so the mark was left in vain.
…
In order to take the people away, Li Jinjiang got a carriage from somewhere. The carriage was accompanied by several strong men, all with swords on their waists, dressed like guards.
It was obvious that he was accompanied by more than one follower.
Cheng Nianying stood in front of the carriage and blinked. Fortunately, she had not thought of kidnapping anyone at the restaurant.
"Please." Li Jinjiang opened the curtain with one hand, showing great respect.
The prince took a step forward, accustomed to being one step ahead of others.
But before he could lift his legs, Li Jinjiang stopped him and said, "Master, please go to the back."
The prince: “…”
He was so angry that he felt like laughing.
Go to the back? Leave you two together? Fu Yi is really tolerant, even allowing this! He deserves the name of a treacherous minister! To help his father, he can even abandon his wife.
The prince didn't even have time to say a word before he was carried away by the strong men who came from behind.
It looks like a wolf's den!
The prince frowned and couldn't help but look at the princess's expression.
...There was still no emotion on his face.
He even suspected that she had heard Mr. Li's ulterior motives.
Don't be a fool.
Inside the inn.
The emperor condescended to pour a cup of tea for Fu Yi and said, "Yurong, you have gained a lot from this trip. If we can cooperate with you from inside and outside, we can achieve twice the result with half the effort."
After praising him first, the emperor said, "With someone following us, nothing will happen."
He even gave up the crown prince, so what does it matter if Fu Yi gives up his wife?
Fu Yi's face still showed no sign of annoyance. He nodded and said, "I can't drink tea when I'm sick."
"Oh, yes, I forgot." The emperor put his hands in his sleeves and said, "When we return, Yurong will be rewarded."
*
The carriage traveled for half a day and arrived at the main city of Kuizhou.
The sun had not yet set, but the city gate was already closed. It was only after Mr. Li's follower took the badge and went forward that someone came to open the city gate.
Li Jinjiang had already prepared an explanation for this situation, but the little nun sitting next to him didn't even show a hint of curiosity.
Li Jinjiang was a little suspicious and asked, "I haven't asked you before, where did you come from, Master?"
If the girl from the Marquis' Mansion was really here, she would be stumped by his questions.
Cheng Nianying uttered quickly: "Sizhou."
She has been to many places, so it is no problem for her to make up any story she wants.
"Oh, I know Sizhou. The Buddhist temples there don't seem to be very popular."
“That’s why we need to preach the gospel.”
"Does Sizhou have any local specialties?"
“It’s famous for its golden loofah.”
Li Jinjiang approached her and said with a smile, "There is something else that you can't find anywhere else."
Cheng Nianying even deceived Prince Danshuo, and now she met Li Jinjiang's gaze fearlessly.
She uttered a "Hmm?"
Li Jinjiang thought he was overthinking it, and then he said, "It's rare to find someone as beautiful as the Master."
Cheng Nianying: "Oh."
This is very nun-like.
Li Jinjiang was not too surprised when he saw that he could not be provoked.
But he felt unwilling to let the words fall on the ground, so he raised his hand and wanted to play with the hair by her ear as he did in the past when teasing girls.
This time, he got nothing.
Yes... yes, nun.
Who calls her a nun?
Li Jinjiang straightened up and sat back down in embarrassment.
The carriage quickly passed through the city gate and sped onto the street. Unlike the closed city gate, the street was still bustling with people walking around with a natural and unconcerned look.
If the emperor saw this, he would definitely be even more unhappy.
How could they live equally well without his rule?
"What are you looking at?"
"Is there a Buddhist temple in the city?"
"have."
Although Li Jinjiang's father looked down on monks, he also said that the current emperor's use of Buddhism as a tool for spreading Buddhism was very useful. If it were him, he would use it too.
"Master, we're here." The attendant shouted outside.
Li Jinjiang got off the carriage first, then turned around and reached out to help Cheng Nianying.
But Cheng Nianying had already come down first: "Zhizhoufu?"
She looked up at the plaque on the building in front of her. It was empty, with nothing written on it.
"This is my private residence. Let's rest here for a while." Li Jinjiang still had some sense and didn't rashly bring the man back. He had previously proposed the prefectural government position only to use his reputation to pressure the other party.
Besides, his father has always indulged him.
But this time the trick has been played on the nun, and I'm afraid she will sternly order him to send the person away.
Cheng Nianying had no objection and responded, "Okay."
The prince was dissatisfied.
Going to the prefectural government, he would naturally be able to grasp more things. If he only accompanied Fu Yi's wife here, it would be like a woman waiting for the male master to show favor... The prince's mouth twitched, extremely dissatisfied!
"I observe this man..." the prince began, wanting to accuse Li Omi of being dishonest.
Cheng Nianying stepped on him.
The prince's voice was stuck.
Li Jinjiang heard the unusual movement and turned around: "What?"
Cheng Nianying had already continued to walk forward. She stepped onto the stairs, as comfortable as the owner. "We need to set up an altar to offer to the Buddha."
Li Jinjiang pulled himself back to his senses: "Of course, it can be done tomorrow."
"Master, I've been waiting for you." A pretentious voice sounded, and the woman in purple clothes twisted her waist and came forward.
Seeing Cheng Nianying, she was stunned: "How can this be..."
She then said happily, "Oh, my Lord must have known that I haven't been sleeping well lately, so he invited a nun to chant sutras, right?"
Li Jinjiang stepped into the room and said, "This is the master I invited to save me."
The woman in purple understood everything in an instant, pinching her fingertips and glaring at Cheng Nianying.
Li Jinjiang ordered his servants: "Hurry and prepare the meditation room for the master."
The purple-dressed woman hurriedly pressed forward and said, "Master, why don't you show some love to me?"
The prince scoffed. "She's truly from a small town. She's not even good enough to be a concubine."
He withdrew his gaze, but saw that Cheng Nianying had already walked away.
"Let me take a look at the feng shui of this place." Cheng Nianying said.
Commonly known as scouting.
