Dongdong stuck his little butt out and rummaged through the corners, then found a black pill that looked unappetizing and handed it to Jiang Jingyu.
[Host, this is it! This is the Nightmare Suppression Pill. Take it and you won't be haunted by those horrible nightmares!]
Jiang Jingyu glanced at the black pill in Dongdongyao's hand, and immediately remembered the pungent smell of the water-honeyed pill. She no longer had any desire to eat it.
[The host gave me two pairs of small leather shoes, so consider these dumplings as my gifts to the host! Don't be fooled by their appearance, they're sweet!]
After hearing that the Nightmare Pills were sweet, Jiang Jingyu took them and said, "Thank you."
She didn't swallow it directly, but put it away.
"Who is the target of this mission?"
γThe dust has been removed.γ
"Liaochen? Why does it sound so much like a Buddhist name?"
Jiang Jingyu exclaimed in surprise when she read the name Bian Lechen.
[The host has excellent hearing! The target of this attack is none other than Qing Leng Buddhist!]
Jiang Jingyu rubbed his hands: "Dragging the Buddha off the altar?"
[Ahem, the excitement in the host's eyes is dazzling! This is roughly the background of the small world I'm about to be transported to. The host has two tasks in this small world: one is to pull the Buddha down from the altar, and the other is to mediate kinship!]
Jiang Jingyu made an OK gesture to Dongdongyao and couldn't wait to let it teleport her to the next small world.

The scene changed, and when Jiang Jingyu opened her eyes again, she was already sitting in a sedan chair.
"Zhan'er, I'll leave the task of escorting Yu'er to Fo'an Temple to you. Please take good care of Yu'er on the way, okay?"
A woman's worried voice was heard outside the carriage, followed by a clear male voice.
"Don't worry, mother. I will definitely send my younger sister to the Fo'an Temple safely!"
"I have already sent someone to inform Master Jingkong in advance. When you arrive at Fo'an Temple, someone will help take care of Yu'er."
Three voices rang out in succession, their tones full of reluctance and helplessness. Even through the curtain, Jiang Jingyu knew the identities of several people.
It was her father, the emperor, her mother, and her brother.
After giving Jiang Jingzhan instructions, the queen came to the carriage with red eyes. Knowing that her daughter didn't want to see her, she spoke to her through the curtain.
"Yu'er, please don't overthink it. Father and Mother have always loved you very much. We will be waiting for you in the palace. When you get to Fo'an Temple, you must take good care of yourself, okay?"
"If you...if you want to see Queen Mother, please send a message back. After Queen Mother reads the letter, she will rush to Fo'an Temple to see you as soon as possible."
The queen was obviously lacking in confidence when she said this. Yu'er was not close to them on a daily basis, so how could she take the initiative to send a message to her after going to Fo'an Temple?
It was all just her wishful thinking.
When the queen thought that Jiang Jingyu would have to live in the Fo'an Temple, which was far away from the imperial city, for a year, her heart felt as if it was torn apart.
Although Yu'er was not close to them when she was in the palace, at least she could see her when she wanted to see her. Now the journey is long and arduous. If she doesn't see her for a year, Yu'er will probably become more alienated from her mother, right?
Whenever I think of these queens, I feel a tightness in my chest.
"Don't worry, mother. If my younger sister can't adapt, I will stay with her at the Fo'an Temple for a year."
Jiang Jingzhan patted the Queen's shoulder to comfort her, and added silently in his heart: As long as the imperial sister agrees.
Listening to the words coming from outside the sedan, Jiang Jingyu resisted the urge to lift the curtain and sat quietly in the sedan listening.
Ever since the little princess accidentally heard that she would bring bad luck to her father, mother, and brother, when she was five years old, she began to avoid them intentionally or unintentionally.
At first, no one noticed anything. It was normal for the three princes who stayed with the little princess all day to have some bumps and bruises every day. Boys were always tougher than girls.
But as the little princess grew older, everyone found that the curse seemed to be coming true. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince injured himself with a sword while practicing martial arts, His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince broke his leg while riding a horse, and His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince had his head hit by broken stones while passing by a rockery.
His Majesty frequently made mistakes in decision-making, and even the Empress, who had always paid attention to her health, was becoming increasingly ill.
Not only did the palace servants notice something was wrong, but the cursed little princess also noticed it. Thinking of what she had heard before, the little princess was convinced that she had brought bad luck to her family, so she began to avoid her family.
The originally cheerful and lively little princess suddenly changed her temperament. She, who had always been well-behaved and sensible, started to lose her temper with her father, mother, and brother, saying bluntly that she didn't like them and asked them to stay away from her.
Every time the little princess lost her temper with her family, she would hide away and cry alone.
That was her father, the emperor, her mother, and her brother. How could she possibly dislike them? But she would bring bad luck to them, so she had to stay away from them.
The little princess moved out of Fengyi Palace and lived in another palace by herself.
After she was away from her relatives, their bad luck was indeed reduced, so the little princess became more convinced that she was a jinx who would bring bad luck to her family. From then on, all the little princess had to do every day was to make her father, mother, and brother hate her.
This has been going on for a full ten years.
As she grew older, the little princess became increasingly indifferent towards her family, and the emperor, empress and the three high princes had become accustomed to it.
Jiang Jingyu did not intend to change her attitude hastily at this time. She would be in Fo'an Temple for a year, so there was plenty of time to mediate the relationship between them.
The emperor patted Jiang Jingzhan on the shoulder and said, "Zhan'er, I'll leave Yu'er to you."
The corners of his mouth moved as if he wanted to say something, but the words turned into a sigh.
Jiang Jingzhan nodded to his father, the emperor, and his mother, then walked to the side and climbed onto the horse.
"Father, Your Majesty, Mother, Your Majesty, your son and your sister bid you farewell!"
The emperor waved his hand at him and said, "Go ahead. Be careful on your journey."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Jingzhan rode his horse slowly forward, and the groom followed his pace.
The emperor and empress stood side by side, their eyes red as they watched the carriage that was about to drive away.
The person sitting there is their most beloved daughter!
"Yu'er, Yu'er!"
The queen couldn't help but chase after him. She reached out her trembling hand to touch the thin curtain between the mother and daughter, and hesitated for a moment before lifting it.
Just as she was about to withdraw her hand, the curtain was opened from the inside.
Jiang Jingyu pinched a corner of the curtain and lifted the barrier between the two of them. The eyes of mother and daughter instantly met in mid-air.
"Yu, Yu'er."
