Chapter 107: The Concubine's Sister Joins? The Marquis's Wife Discovers
When Anping Hou handed the medicine to Xie Zhi, he said that the medicine was strong and would work very quickly.
So she asked her maid to pretend to be a maid in the Buddhist temple, spill the soup, and take the opportunity to take Xie Yao, who was taking Chinese medicine, to see Anping Hou.
She specifically instructed the maid to come back and report to her after sending Xie Yao away.
But Xie Zhi waited and waited in the front hall, but no one came.
Thinking that Xie Yao might be enjoying herself under Anping Hou at this moment, Xie Zhi felt happy and proud, but also a little unwilling.
Although Anping Hou already had herself, he still did not forget Xie Yao and even personally sent Xie Yao to his side.
How could she be willing to do that?
Xie Zhi then quietly left the front hall and went to Anping Hou's courtyard in Chengfo Temple to check.
The maid was not there, and as soon as she walked in, she heard a blushing and heart-pounding noise coming from inside.
Xie Zhi concentrated his mind, held his breath, and focused all his attention on the room, not noticing Xie Yao in the corner at all.
As she approached the door, she suddenly heard a female voice inside calling herself a slave.
Xie Zhi's expression changed, and he suddenly pushed the door open: "You bitch——"
Before she finished speaking, Xie Yao, who had been waiting for a long time, kicked her in the lower back!
Xie Zhi was caught off guard. He screamed "Ah" and rushed into the house, bumping into the maid and Anping Hou who were entangled with each other.
She got up and wanted to look back to see what was going on, but she saw that the clothes of Anping Hou were loose, and the maid Man'er was naked, looking for clothes to cover her body with a blushing face.
Marquis Anping turned around and saw a familiar figure. Feeling dizzy, he grabbed Xie Zhi's arm and couldn't help but move around her body.
"Cong Yan, be good, give it to me..."
He whispered the maiden name of the wife of Marquis Anping.
"My Lord, I am Zhizhi. You, what are you doing?"
Xie Zhi was struggling, wanting to accept but not reject. He caught a glimpse of Man'er with traces of pleasure all over her body. He raised his hand and slapped her, wishing he could eat her alive.
"Where's Xie Yao? You slut, how dare you seduce the Marquis and climb into his bed!"
"My Lord, please wake up! This slave girl must not be allowed to stay!"
Man'er covered her face, feeling angry at her scolding. When she heard that she wanted to silence her, she felt ashamed and angry.
Marquis Anping had no intention of listening to what she was saying. He felt that his desire had not been relieved at all, so he grabbed Man'er and tore off Xie Zhi's dress.
Man'er glanced at the teapot on the table. Marquis Anping had just drunk the tea, but the medicinal effect became even stronger. It was obvious that there was medicine in the tea.
While Anping Hou was holding Xie Zhi, she hardened her heart, grabbed the teapot, and splashed it on Xie Zhi's face.
"My lady, you will be the Marquis's person sooner or later anyway, so don't blame me for being cruel."
Xie Zhi wanted to hide, but she had been walking on her knees for two hours on the mountain road and her body was not well yet, so she had no strength.
"you!"
The cool tea splashed on his face, and Xie Zhi subconsciously opened his mouth to scream, and a mouthful of tea went down his throat and choked.
In a short while, she felt her whole body go numb, and her hands and feet became weak.
"My Lord..."
When he wanted to make a sound again, a low moan escaped from his lips.
Marquis Anping pressed her down on the table, his heat burning her.
Man'er was also pulled by him. She was also addicted to the drug. She was just slapped in the face and was temporarily sober.
The three of them rolled into a ball, even more chaotic than before.
"My Lord, please be gentle, please have mercy..."
"My Lord, please forgive me..."
"Why are you crying... You gave it to me, aren't you still feeling wronged?"
Outside the Zen room, Xie Yao's mouth twitched. She didn't expect that Xie Zhi would actually join.
She wiped the soles of her boots with the fresh snow and turned to leave.
Pu Wei came up and heard the faint noise in the yard. She said without surprise, "Miss, the carriage of the Marquis' Mansion is parked in the stable."
Xie Yao calmly instructed, "Go find the Anping Marquis's driver and tell him to go and say hello to the Marquis's wife, and that we'll go down the mountain together and return home later."
Pu Wei immediately understood and left.
Xie Yao turned around and walked back. When she reached the fork in the road, she saw a maid who had previously reported to the princess. She was wearing a green shirt and waiting on the road.
The maid saw her and knelt down to salute: "I am Huaixia, your servant, and I am here by the order of His Highness to take the Second Young Lady to pray for Empress Shen."
Xie Yao nodded slightly and followed Huaixia into the side hall.
"This is the uniform your Highness wears in Qifeng Courtyard. Miss, please change first." Huaixia presented a moon-white skirt embroidered with silver bamboo patterns.
Xie Yao was of similar height to the eldest princess, only three inches taller than her.
The eldest princess's dress fit her almost perfectly.
Huaixia looked at Miss Xie Er who had changed her clothes, and for a moment, she felt a little dazed.
She quickly suppressed her emotions and led Xie Yao to the gate of a brand new temple: "This is the temple that Your Highness built for the late Queen."
Xie Yao looked and saw that the temple was not big, but new and exquisite. On the plaque above the door lintel were written the three words "Xihe Temple".
Queen Shen's maiden name was Shen Xihe, and Xihe was also a goddess in ancient times, so it is very appropriate to use it as the name of a temple.
Inside the temple, the eldest princess, wearing a dark blue robe with a gold phoenix pattern, stood solemnly beside the incense burner, her eyes sharp and her temperament cool and elegant.
Monk Jue'an, wearing the abbot's robes, stood aside, beating the wooden fish one by one and silently reciting Buddhist scriptures with his eyes closed.
The clear sound of the wooden fish seemed to carry some special rhythm, which made Xie Yao's heart immersed involuntarily.
"It's three quarters past three in the afternoon. This is the auspicious time calculated by Abbot Jue'an for praying for our mother." Seeing Xie Yao come in, the eldest princess spoke in a calm voice.
Xie Yao raised her head and saw green smoke curling up from the incense burner. In front of the altar was Empress Shen, who was finely carved from white jade. She was wearing a phoenix robe and a phoenix crown, sitting upright on twenty-four upturned golden lotus petals.
On the back wall hangs a portrait of Queen Shen in military uniform.
The woman in the painting is about thirty years old, riding on a chestnut horse, holding a spear, with sharp and heroic eyes.
The eldest princess knelt down, looked up at the portrait, her eyes full of nostalgia and sadness.
Her voice choked with sobs. "I am now the same age as my mother was when she passed away... This is the portrait the artist drew based on my description, but in truth, I hardly remember what she looked like anymore."
Shuangxi held three incense sticks and handed them to Xie Yao.
Xie Yao heard the crying tone in the eldest princess' voice and was infected by her. Her heart ached and she said seriously:
"As long as people still remember Queen Shen in their hearts, she will always exist in this world, and I, the minister, will always remember her, and she will live long and forever."
The eldest princess said, "Come forward and kneel down. Let the Queen Mother take a good look at you. You are from the Strong Women's Camp. The Queen Mother will like you."
"Yes." Xie Yao took the incense, knelt beside her, inserted the incense into the incense burner, and kowtowed solemnly.
Shuangxi and Huaixia looked at each other in the hall and sighed inwardly. Today was the anniversary of Queen Shen's death. Apart from the eldest princess, Second Miss Xie was the first person who could come to the Xihe Temple to burn incense.
At this moment, the wife of Marquis Anping and Eunuch Qing finished their vegetarian banquet together. They talked and laughed, and came out of the front hall, intending to go to other halls of Chengfo Temple to burn incense.
An old servant in coarse linen clothes came running over and said, "Madam, have you finished praying? The Marquis is waiting to return to the palace with you."
The wife of the Marquis of Anping showed a puzzled expression, and the maid beside her hurriedly said, "Madam, this is the coachman of our mansion, who usually drives the carriage for the Marquis."
When Eunuch Qing heard this, he glanced behind the driver and said, "Hey, Marquis Anping has come to Chengfo Temple? Then I have to go and pay my respects to him."
The wife of the Marquis of Anping frowned, "Why didn't you tell me beforehand that the Marquis was coming to Chengfo Temple?"
The coachman had no idea of Marquis Anping's plan, and it was even less likely that Marquis Anping would tell him.
He only knew that it was common for women outside to throw themselves into the arms of the Marquis in groups. The Marquis's wife should have been used to it. Moreover, sometimes she had to take care of everything for the Marquis.
The driver scratched his head and said frankly with a humble look, "There is a girl who wants to pray for the Marquis and asks him to come to Chengfo Temple to meet her."
"girl?"
The wife of the Marquis of Anping felt a pang in her heart and turned around suddenly to find that Miss Xie, who had said she was going to change clothes because her dress was soiled by the soup, had not returned yet.
She no longer cared about the tricks of Xie's concubine's daughter and her thoughts on Marquis Anping.
But she still remembered that day at the Winter Solstice Banquet, when Marquis Anping took her back to his mansion, and when he first saw the second daughter of the Xie family, he showed a greedy and obsessed look in his eyes.
Now that Xie Yao has won the favor of the eldest princess, if she suddenly doesn't want to marry the King of Jingbei, will she fall in love with the Marquis?!
