We traveled quickly and soon arrived at Guangfo Temple, which was still as quiet as ever.
The people in the temple were all a little puzzled as to why Prince Xiang had returned, but they didn't dare to ask and simply opened the door to let Boguor in.
He went to check the side room first, but the Fujin was not there. Boguor grabbed a maid and asked her, and learned that the Fujin was in the back mountain.
He carried the gift with anticipation toward the back of the mountain, imagining how happy his wife would be when she saw it.
Li Yu remained as taciturn and honest as ever, but the glint of calculation in his eyes suggested that he was not entirely honest.
Boguer traveled smoothly all the way, and when he arrived at the back mountain, there was no one guarding the entrance. He walked forward happily, but when he was still far away from Dong E Wan Ning, he suddenly saw something incredible.
My mind went blank as if it had crashed, and the things in my hands fell to the ground unconsciously.
That moment was both long and short; it seemed that Bogor could neither think of anything nor process anything.
Li Shuwen squatted down expressionlessly to pick up the gift, but when he stood up, his face showed anxiety.
The blankness in his mind dissipated, and extreme anger surged into his heart. At this moment, Boguer didn't want to think about anything or consider anything. He just wanted to rush over and question those two people about what had happened.
Suddenly his mouth was covered, and Boguer stared in surprise. He looked at the “culprit” with angry eyes, his eyes saying, “What are you doing?”
Li Shu still didn't let go. He shook his head and then dragged Boguor away with tremendous force.
Because of this unexpected turn of events, the anger in his heart dissipated considerably. Boguer originally thought that he should be very strong because he had practiced riding and archery since childhood. However, no matter how hard he struggled, he could not break free from Li Shu's grip.
Ultimately, he was still a child at heart. Once outside, Boguor's first words were: "Li Shu, I didn't expect you to be so unassuming. Your strength is even greater than mine."
After a moment of hesitation, Li Shu finally spoke the words he had prepared.
"Your Highness, this is not the time to talk about this. Now that that gentleman has arrived, there are probably still his men in the temple. Let's leave first and talk about it later."
Boguer was never one to have his own opinions, and in his impulsiveness just now, he only wanted to go up and question them.
Now that Li Shu had pulled him away, he thought of Li Shu's usual cleverness. Unlike princes and nobles who would be angry if their shameful deeds were known to outsiders, he was just like a headless fly, wanting to ask Li Shu what he thought.
Filled with incomprehension and anger, Boguer left Guangfo Temple. After mounting his horse, he sent the others behind, leaving only Li Shu to ask questions.
As they walked back, the two talked to each other, while the other servants followed at a distance and could not hear their voices.
When Boguer is angry, he is prone to doing irrational things, so Li Shu persuaded him with kind words and calmed him down.
After persuading Boguor, Li Shu explained the implications of the matter. He knew it was of great importance and could not reveal that he knew about it, otherwise he might encounter unforeseen circumstances.
Historically, Prince Xiang, Boguor, died of illness in his teens. It is hard to say that there was no conspiracy involved, given that he passed away at such a young age and that Lady Dong'e entered the palace the month after his death.
With Li Yu's persuasion, Boguor realized the seriousness of the matter. He forced himself to control his emotions and suppress his anger, and then hurried back to the capital, as his mission was not yet completed.
...
On the back hill, a handsome man held a beautiful and graceful girl in his arms. Both of them had smiles on their faces, and their eyes and brows revealed sweetness.
Having finally settled things here, Biqing suppressed her worries and hurried back to the back mountain.
Looking inside, Biqing saw that her master and the emperor were still chatting. She was relieved to see that no one had disturbed her master during her absence.
They embraced for a long time, and it was almost noon. Shunzhi's time was precious, and it was already a rare treat that he had been able to spend so much time with them. Although he was reluctant to part, it was time to say goodbye.
Sensing something, Dong'e Wanning knew he should leave. She didn't say anything to stop him, being quite considerate and unwilling to put the person in front of her in a difficult position.
"Fulin, I know you are leaving, and I won't say anything to make you stay." Dong'e Wanning took out a sachet from her sleeve and handed it to Shunzhi.
“This is a sachet that Wan Ning embroidered herself. We can’t see each other all the time. If you miss Wan Ning, look at this sachet and pretend that I’m by your side.”
"Alright! With this sachet, Wan Ning, you can stay by my side forever."
After receiving the sachet from Dong E Wan Ning, Shunzhi took off the old sachet he was wearing and solemnly hung the new one on his waist.
Dong Ewanning's embroidery skills were quite good, and this sachet looked quite suitable on Shunzhi.
Emperor Shunzhi himself was also very fond of it, and would pick it up from time to time to look at it and touch it, treasuring the sachet as if it were a precious jewel.
His appearance also made the concubines in the harem secretly speculate about which little vixen had embroidered this, that the emperor cherished it so much.
Tong Yurou knew perfectly well that this must have been embroidered by Dong Eshi, and only she could have made the Emperor lose his composure like this.
Because he had witnessed the Fujin's affair that day, Boguor was advised not to act impulsively, but given his shrewdness, it would be very easy for others to see through his act.
So, in order to avoid being exposed, he took the initiative to ask Shunzhi for a job outside.
He had been telling himself for a long time that he must remain calm and not be impulsive or angry, but when Boguor saw the sachet at Shunzhi's waist, he couldn't help but feel a surge of anger and disappointment.
He had seen his wife embroider it before, and he thought it was for her husband. He was overjoyed and full of anticipation, but he never expected it to be embroidered on someone else.
How ironic! His own wife is cold and indifferent to her husband, yet she smiles broadly at other men.
His hand, hidden in his sleeve, clenched into a fist. Facing his elder brother, the emperor, he had truly lost miserably. He dared not even show his anger or trembling.
The Shunzhi Emperor above was still feigning concern, saying that his younger brother was too young and that the job was too arduous for him to do.
Finally, under Boguor's strong insistence, Shunzhi reluctantly agreed to the request.
In the instant he bowed his head in gratitude, Bogor seemed to have realized something.
The matter was urgent, and as soon as Bogor returned to his residence, he began packing his belongings to leave.
Before Li Shu could offer any advice, he learned to be patient and bid farewell to his wife with the same reluctance as before. Boguor's behavior was exactly the same as before, with no difference.
After leaving, his face cleared of gloom. If he wasn't mistaken, he seemed to have seen joy on his wife's face.
