Chapter 2065 Someone did it on purpose
Ye Zheng glanced outside and said, "Empress Dowager Noble's younger sister—although she has been erased from the family tree, her identity is special, and not many people in the court dare to ask about her. Let's find her first."
"Let's go."
After the two men had discussed it, they prepared to come out from behind the tree.
But just as Ye Zheng took a step forward, two people suddenly walked up from the corridor in front.
He Yi was quick-witted and quick-handed, and quickly pulled Ye Zheng back.
The two men huddled sideways behind the tree trunk, holding their breath, and heard the footsteps gradually approaching.
There are two nuns.
They walked with food in their hands and said, "That distinguished guest refuses to eat again."
"Oh, don't mention it. I called for a long time but no one answered the door. It's not the first time."
"Our abbot is really something. He should treat everyone equally once they enter Buddhism, but why is he so polite to her? Not only did he arrange a separate Zen temple for her, but he even prepares different vegetarian dishes for her than for us, giving her a special meal."
"You entered the sect late, so you don't know that she didn't enter Buddhism on her own initiative. She is the substitute for the Imperial Concubine."
"What? Imperial Concubine? The current emperor—"
"Yes, the most favored concubine of the current emperor."
"She is actually the concubine's substitute?!"
"Not only is she the Imperial Concubine's substitute, I heard she's also her sister. However, the Imperial Concubine suffered many disasters and originally wanted to enter Buddhism to eliminate her disasters and solve her problems. However, she had to serve the Emperor and couldn't enter Buddhism herself. She was also afraid that the substitute she bought might not be sincere, so she let her sister become a nun in her place."
"So, her identity is quite extraordinary."
"Otherwise, would our abbot treat her like this? This time, such a big thing has happened. Everyone is in danger, but she is the only one who is still at ease."
"I see. Then what should I do if she doesn't eat?"
"What else can we do? Send it over later."
"That's all we can do."
The two of them continued talking and slowly walked away.
Only after the two nuns disappeared in front did Ye Zheng and He Yi come out from behind the big tree and look at each other.
You don't need to say anything, you will understand.
Immediately walk along the path the two nuns had just taken.
Fortunately, there were not many people in the nunnery, and the two men were very cautious along the way. They did not disturb anyone and walked to the outside of a quiet Zen temple.
Ye Zheng whispered, "Is this the place?"
He Yi: "Go in and take a look."
So, two people slipped in.
The two men quickly walked to the door, but it was tightly closed, without even a sound of wind.
Ye Zheng whispered, "Break in? Or knock on the door?"
He Yi laughed dumbly, not bothering to pay attention to him. He raised his hand and knocked lightly on the door, saying, "Is anyone there?"
No one responded.
He Yi said softly, "Miss Si, we are here to bother you about what happened here a few days ago. I hope you will forgive us."
“…”
"Ms. Si?"
I knocked on the door twice more, but still no response.
He Yi frowned.
Although I heard from the two nuns just now that Si Muzhen has never paid much attention to the people in this nunnery, but the two of them have already made their purpose clear. Even if she doesn't want to see them, it is possible that she can drive them away.
How could there be absolutely no movement?
He whispered, "No?"
He hadn't paid much attention when they were talking just now, but at this moment, using the breathing technique, he discovered that there were only two of them in this Zen temple.
He said, "Ye Zheng, go in and take a look."
"ah?"
Ye Zheng was already a little impatient, but when he heard what he said, he immediately reached out and pushed the door open with force.
There was only a clang sound.
The door hit the walls on both sides, and a gust of wind suddenly rushed into the quiet Zen room.
The two people walked in and took a look.
This Zen room is not small, and it is fully furnished. Although it is not too luxurious, compared with the residences of ordinary monks and nuns, it can be said to be very enjoyable.
Even the curtains hanging over the bed were embroidered.
Obviously, Miss Si was not living a life of hardship here.
But at this moment, she was not in this meditation room.
Ye Zheng frowned: "Where are the people?"
“…”
"Could it be that they knew we were coming and ran away?"
He Yi shook his head and said, "Even I didn't know you were coming to see me today, so how could she know that we were coming to see her today?"
"Then why did she disappear?"
“…”
"Has he been gone for a long time, or has he just left?"
He Yi didn't speak immediately. He just looked around the room, then turned and walked to the door, looked outside, and then said, "At least when those two people were looking for her just now, she was no longer in the meditation room."
"Why?"
"If she had just left, there would be no way to go over there, so she could only go this way. And we just came here and didn't see anyone."
"That--"
He Yi frowned slightly and said, "No one in the nunnery knows she's gone. She might have left secretly."
"This is just to avoid people."
"Maybe it's to avoid people, or maybe it's——"
"What is it?"
“…”
He Yi was silent for a moment, and did not answer. He only said, "Go out and take a look first."
"Um."
The two men closed the door, restored it to its original state, and then turned to leave.

At this moment in Yiku Palace, Nan Yan was looking at Xu Xiaoxiao in front of her with a gloomy expression. She could hardly believe what she had just said.
So, I asked again.
"You said it was King Wei who chose Zhenjue Temple as the meeting place?"
"Yes."
“…”
Nan Yan frowned.
Before meeting Xu Xiaoxiao, she had many doubts, even doubting Xu Xiaoxiao. The Queen hoped that she could marry the King of Wei and become the Princess of Wei, and then become the Crown Princess or even the Queen in the future. If Xu Xiaoxiao knew about the relationship between the King of Wei and Qi Qing, she would probably interfere.
However, after meeting Xu Xiaoxiao in person, this doubt was greatly alleviated.
Especially after she said those words to herself so honestly.
However, she didn't expect that the final answer would be this.
The one who chose Zhenjue Temple was actually King Wei himself.
After hearing Nan Yan ask the same question again, Xu Xiaoxiao fell into deep thought with a serious expression on her face, and a trace of doubt arose in her heart.
She looked at Nan Yan and asked carefully, "My Lady, when you asked me that question, did you suspect that the incident was not accidental?"
“…”
"Do you suspect that this was done deliberately?"
“…”
"Prince Wei and Qi Qing chose to meet at Zhenjue Temple. Did they fall into someone's trap? That's why something like that happened?"
“…”
Nan Yan was silent for a while, then said to her, "Xiao Xiao, can you first tell me why the King of Wei chose Zhenjue Temple?"
