Chapter 2063 Two Reasons
From the first light of dawn to the scorching sun, it only took half an hour.
Ye Zheng and He Yi have arrived at Zhenjue Temple.
Because there was no advance message, and the two of them did not want to come to this temple as officials, the temple gate was wide open and filled with pilgrims as usual.
Originally, Zhenjue Temple was a popular temple in the capital. After that incident, many common people rushed over to watch the excitement, so the number of people here was several times more than before.
There were crowds of people, almost shoulder to shoulder.
But even among so many people, these two men in casual clothes but with outstanding looks were very conspicuous. Many people looked at them, especially some young girls and wives, who kept giving them flirtatious glances.
Especially He Yi.
His appearance was outstanding, almost on par with Zhu Feng's, and he also had an otherworldly, otherworldly aura, like that of a banished immortal.
This attracted many people to come and talk to him.
He Yi, on the other hand, did not have the coldness and arrogance of a Taoist monk who was untainted by the mundane world, nor the arrogance of a cabinet minister. Instead, he was very friendly and got along well with everyone who came up to him to talk to him, leaving no one behind.
Ye Zheng folded his arms and leaned against the stone lion at the entrance of the temple. Looking at him like this, he snorted sourly.
"Humph, you're still a cultivator."
“…”
"I think even the girls in Yihongyuan are not as popular as him."
However, since He Yi went to deal with others, he could only stand there and listen to people's gossip. This was a skill he had practiced since he was a child. No matter how much people around him talked, no matter how noisy the voices were, as long as he wanted to hear someone's conversation, he could still hear it clearly. Even the sound of breathing and coughing could reach his ears.
Soon, I heard a few people standing at the temple gate, talking quietly as they walked -
"Aren't you going to go in and take a look? Did you see it?"
"The Buddhist temple is open to the public, but the gates of the nunnery are locked."
"Not allowed in?"
"After such a big incident, how can you let people in?"
"I'm afraid... you're afraid of the shame being spread?"
"Are you saying that the King of Wei and that Miss Gu were having a secret meeting in there?"
"A private meeting? How can it be that simple?"
"Oh? What else? Tell me quickly!"
"I heard that when they were caught, they didn't even have any clothes on. Ouch."
"real?"
"Of course! I don't know about the two of them, but I heard there's a woman as well."
"Tsk tsk, to do such a thing in the holy land of Buddhism, and it's His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei, it's really..."
When Ye Zheng heard this, he was so angry that his nose became crooked.
The King of Wei and Miss Gu were both from prominent families. Even if they had been somewhat frivolous and met privately this time, their upbringing would have made it absolutely impossible for them to do anything out of line, let alone take off their clothes and have three people with them...
Unfortunately, people love to exaggerate, and the more dirty and vulgar the words are, the more people spread them.
Now, it has become a rumor.
He was so angry that he walked over and grabbed the collar of a man with a lewd smile on his face, and shouted angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about? Who told you to take off your clothes and there would be someone else? If you dare to say that, I will beat you to death!"
The man was still talking nonsense when he was suddenly frightened when a man rushed up and grabbed him to hit him.
But when he took another look, he saw that it was a handsome young man, and he was no longer afraid.
He stiffened his neck and said, "What's wrong with what I said?"
“…”
"Why are you here? Could it be that the King of Wei is after your wife?"
"you--"
Ye Zheng's face turned pale and he was about to swing his fist when suddenly a hand reached out from behind and gently grabbed his sleeve.
Although it was just a light touch, it immediately relieved all the strength in his body.
Ye Zheng turned around and saw He Yi's peaceful smile.
Said: "Calm down."
Ye Zheng said, "They are talking nonsense."
He Yi smiled faintly and said, "Only foolish people say foolish things. Why do you bother with them?"
After saying that, he pulled Ye Zheng's hand down. Those people looked at Ye Zheng, then looked at He Yi. Somehow, facing the quiet and peaceful He Yi, they didn't dare to be presumptuous. They just snorted coldly and turned away.
However, just as they were about to walk out of the mountain gate, Heyi suddenly waved his sleeves.
The gossiper's knees suddenly gave way and he fell down.
"ah--!"
With a scream, the man's front teeth hit the door sill and broke. His face and mouth were covered in blood. He wailed in pain. The people around him hurriedly helped him to find a doctor.
Ye Zheng suddenly burst into laughter.
Looking back at He Yi, he saw him brushing off his sleeves nonchalantly. He pointed at him and said, "You, are bad!"
He Yi just smiled faintly and said, "Go in."
The two walked in together, and Ye Zheng said, "I just heard from them that people are still allowed to enter the Zhenjue Temple, but the nunnery inside is no longer open to the public. It's not a good idea for us to go in like this."
He Yi said, "Let's go in first."

"So, you're helping them meet each other?"
In Yiku Palace, after listening to Xu Xiaoxiao's words, Nan Yan was slightly shocked. Looking at the cute and lovely girl in front of her, she could hardly believe her ears.
He asked again: "You know how they feel about each other, and you still help them?"
Xu Xiaoxiao whispered, "How dare I deceive the Imperial Concubine?"
“…”
"Although I have kept this matter a secret from my aunt, I dare not deceive the Imperial Concubine."
After hearing this, Nan Yan became even more confused.
He looked at her with a playful smile and said, "Why did you hide it from the Queen but told me?"
Xu Xiaoxiao lowered her head and thought for a long time, then looked up at Nan Yan.
After a while, he whispered, "Because I know that the Imperial Concubine will also help us."
“…”
"But my aunt doesn't want to."
“…”
"I know. Ever since our family moved to the capital, ever since my aunt brought His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei home to meet me, ever since my aunt invited me to the palace several times, I've understood what my aunt meant."
Nan Yan asked, "Do you know what your aunt means?"
"certainly,"
Xu Xiaoxiao said seriously: "My aunt hopes that I can marry the King of Wei and become the Princess of Wei."
“…”
"Just like when she married the emperor's uncle and became the Princess of Yan."
When Nan Yan heard this, she looked at the girl's bright eyes and frowned slightly, "You don't want to?"
Xu Xiaoxiao shook her head seriously and firmly: "I don't want to."
"Why?"
“…”
"You should know that this path is something that many girls in the world would love to pursue. Why wouldn't you want to do it?"
Xu Xiaoxiao said, "I have two reasons. The first is that the person the King of Wei likes is Qi Qing. A gentleman helps others achieve their goals, and a good woman should do the same."
Nan Yan raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at her.
I can’t believe that such a little girl can have such a calm mind.
She smiled and asked, "So, what's the second reason?"
