Chapter 36 Night Raid



After the incense offering ceremony, the night was already deep.

The concubines dispersed and returned to their respective residences.

I don’t know if it was a coincidence, but Wu Qing was arranged to live in a remote house, only separated from the monks’ quarters by a wall.

In order to keep a distance from the monks, the concubines did not need to go to the dining hall for vegetarian meals. The dinner would be delivered to the concubines' doors by the monks.

At the door of Wu Qing's house, a monk lowered his head and respectfully handed over a carved wooden basket.

His face was blocked by shadow, making it difficult for Jinxiu to see clearly.

Jinxiu took the basket and opened it in front of Wu Qing.

"It's really strange. Why would Xiangguo Temple send us meat?" Jinxiu asked puzzledly.

Wu Qing took a closer look.

Wow!

Boiled meat!

It is fat and lean, fragrant, and is thoughtfully served with soy sauce.

As a temple, Xiangguo Temple should provide vegetarian meals for concubines.

I don’t know why, Wu Qing’s food is meat.

——You can’t eat this meal!

Jinxiu became suspicious and immediately chased after him, wanting to find the monk who delivered the food and ask him about it.

However, the monk who delivered the food ran faster than a rabbit and disappeared early.

"My lady, this matter is of no trivial importance. Someone must be behind this and is trying to harm you." Jinxiu stood at the door with a tense face.

Last night, the sedan chair at Xiangguo Temple was destroyed...

The incense offered by Lady Wu today broke...

Now the monks are sending us meat for no apparent reason...

This series of strange events made Jinxiu smell a conspiracy.

Jinxiu said seriously: "My lady, all the signs show that someone wants to harm you!"

Wu Qing touched his chin, thinking over the events of recent days in his mind, and noticed something was wrong.

"My promotion this time came suddenly, which may have caused jealousy among some concubines." Wu Qing analyzed.

Jinxiu nodded.

Wu Qing said, "If I am sincere in my devotion to Buddhism, I must not eat meat. If I eat this bowl of meat, it would be disrespectful to the Queen Mother and to the Buddha."

Jinxiu nodded heavily.

However, Wu Qing's gaze towards the food box suddenly became hot.

The opportunity to die has come to your doorstep!

Jinxiu was horrified and wanted to stop her: "My lady, don't do that! If others knew that you ate white meat during the blessing period--"

That is a crime of great disrespect!

Wu Qing chuckled, quickly grabbed a piece of meat, stuffed it into his mouth, and chewed it.

……vomit.

It smells fishy.

Wu Qing was silent, no longer daring to chew, and swallowed the piece of meat whole.

After all, wasting food is shameful.

Jinxiu looked at her nervously.

"Forget it... I won't eat it. There are plenty of opportunities for me to die."

Wu Qing grumbled in dissatisfaction and glared at the food box, "The food is so awful! How can it harm anyone!"

"Being a villain should also have some cooking skills!"

Jinxiu covered her chest with her hands, looking frightened, and said with a wry smile: "My young master, you really scared me to death..."

She snatched the food box and said, "There must be something wrong with the food room in Huguo Temple. I will return the food box right away. Please wait a moment, young lady."

Wu Qing fell on the table and said weakly: "Okay..."

[Boiled meat, out.]

Even Wu Qing, a noble, could only be allocated a room the size of a rental house, not to mention the concubines.

So, Qi Changzai, Mu Changzai and Lu Changzai had to squeeze into a small room tonight.

Concubine Lu had some complaints about Concubine Qi and didn't understand why she was targeting Concubine Wu so much during the day.

She wanted to talk to her after dinner, but found that Qi Changzai had disappeared.

strangeness.

Lu Changzai frowned.

Where did Qi Changzai go in this strange Xiangguo Temple?

Behind a wall, Qi Chang was talking in a low voice with another monk.

"Mrs. Wu didn't eat, are you sure?"

Qi Chang gritted her teeth and said, "She has used up so much energy today, but she can still hold it in?"

The light was dim, but the monk's face could be vaguely recognized.

There was a sense of elegance between his brows, his nose was high and his lips were clearly defined. He was none other than the wise monk who came to receive the concubines today.

The wise monk whispered, "Yes, the food box was sent back intact, although a piece of meat was missing..."

Qi often interrupted him impatiently: "That's just eating it! It's disrespectful to the Buddha!"

The wise monk was silent for a moment, then said, "The maidservant beside Lady Wu said that it was bitten by a dog. I don't think she would say that her mistress was a dog."

Qi Changzai choked up: "...That's true."

The two were silent for a moment.

The wise monk asked: "What should we do now?"

Qi Chang glared at him, with a reproachful tone in her voice: "How dare you ask?"

"We agreed to make the Buddha's head fall off. But you just broke a few incense sticks. I haven't said anything to you yet!"

She gritted her teeth and said angrily, "If the Buddha's head falls off, Concubine Wu will definitely be in trouble! How can she be eating dinner leisurely like she is now!"

"If you don't take it seriously, don't expect us to fulfill our previous promise."

The falling Buddha head and the breaking of incense are disasters of completely different levels.

The wise monk knew he was in the wrong and dared not say anything. He could only lower his head and feel regretful in his heart.

Qi Chang coughed dryly and whispered, "Although we failed to expel Concubine Wu from the mountain, at least we have imposed restrictions on her, which can be considered a small gain."

"but……"

"But what?" Wisdom asked carefully.

Qi Changzai sneered: "Don't we have another trick? Let's use that tonight."

She squinted and said, "Is it okay for you to do this?"

The task was not difficult and the risks were minimal. The only trouble was that it required someone else's underwear.

The wise monk hardened his heart and said firmly: "Don't worry, young master, I will definitely complete it."

Qi Changzai said with satisfaction: "That's great. After the matter is completed, I will give you a hundred taels of silver with both hands. You can leave this Huguo Temple and go anywhere you want."

The wise monk nodded vigorously, a sinister look appearing on his handsome face.

At night, Jinxiu gently blew out the candle in her hand, and Wu Qing also pulled the bed curtain to isolate herself from the outside world.

In the silent night, someone in a black nightgown tiptoed towards Wu Qing's house.

He poked a tiny hole in the paper window and then gently passed a thin tube into it.

After a while, the room was filled with a rich scent of sleeping incense.

The man in black estimated the time and pushed open the door carefully after an incense stick of time.

Jinxiu leaned quietly against the wall, breathing steadily, and had fallen into a deep sleep.

Seeing this, the man in black took out a man's undershirt from his arms and hid it quietly under Wu Qing's bed.

After doing all this, he carefully cleaned up his footprints, closed the door, and let everything be hidden in the darkness.

The ** Wu Qing slowly stood up and looked down at the things under the bed.

She squinted her eyes and looked for a long time before she could see the outline of the object clearly.

Wu Qing immediately jumped up from his bed in fright.

[Fuck! Men’s underwear? ]

[Mom, help me! Someone is trying to destroy my innocence! ]

[…Huh? It seems like a good thing. ]
