Chapter 187 God bless him, bless him to escape successfully, and bless his brothers to be safe and sound
It had been agreed in advance that this trip to Gratitude Temple would set off early in the morning at the hour of Mao, so after dinner, the two of them took a shower and went to bed early.
Xiao Jiwu had also taken leave in advance and would not go to court tomorrow, but would go directly to Gratitude Temple.
Also, because they had just done that two days ago, there was nothing unusual done after they lay down. At most they kissed and then lay down next to each other.
Of course, they were still covered with a quilt, a thick quilt that had just been changed.
Ever since the weather turned cold, Yun Qingshi liked to sleep next to Xiao Jiwu.
Because Xiao Jiwu's body temperature is higher than his, hugging him is just right to keep warm in winter.
It's just a pity that after he successfully escapes death this time, he will have to find another way to keep warm...
Yun Qingshi rested his head on his arms and thought about something else, but he couldn't help but think of something else.
He thought of the plot of the Cliff of No Return in the novel, where there were heavy casualties in the palace.
As he thought about it, he couldn't help but turn around and ask Xiao Jiwu: "Xiao Jiwu, tomorrow... are we really going to pay tribute to Concubine Rou?"
Upon hearing this, Prince Xiao also looked at the young man and then said, "Of course, wasn't it agreed upon long ago?"
While Xiao Jiwu was speaking, Yun Qingshi kept looking into the man's eyes. He did not see any bad emotions in Xiao Jiwu's eyes.
At most, I'm not as happy as before.
It seems that this mother doesn't hold a very important position in Xiao Jiwu's heart.
He may remember this incident, but perhaps it is too complicated, with love and hate mixed together, so that it has become very faint.
Human emotions have always been very complex.
But he also discovered that Xiao Jiwu was actually a sentimental person.
If he wasn't sentimental, he wouldn't be offering sacrifices every year to a mother who once tried to kill him.
If he wasn't so sentimental, he could have just ignored Chu Zhiyu and kicked her out when she came to the palace.
Obviously, the novel is too one-sided. It only describes Xiao Jiwu's evil, but not his good...
His thoughts flowed to this point, and after a pause, Yun Qingshi spoke again.
He asked Xiao Jiwu: "Then, can you promise me one thing?"
Xiao Jiwu was obviously surprised when he heard this, and then he asked patiently, "What's the matter?"
Yun Qingshi hesitated and said, "Can you... bring more secret guards with you on this trip? I'm a little uneasy..."
He couldn't say it directly, but he didn't want so many people to lose their lives innocently, so he could only use this method to save everyone as much as possible.
If there were more people and they were evenly matched, at least there wouldn't be heavy casualties.
Even if he can't escape this time, he hopes everyone is fine.
After all, they were all living people, and they were all people he was familiar with...
It's not like he hadn't thought about stopping Xiao Jiwu from going to Gratitude Temple, but that was the anniversary of Concubine Rou's death. In what position should he stop him?
What's more, he couldn't find a reasonable reason.
Moreover, even if you try hard, the plot is likely to be unavoidable, just like every previous plot has happened.
Especially at the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet, he struggled several times, but in the end he still sacrificed himself.
Even if you are lucky enough to avoid it this time, there is no guarantee that the plot will not continue to happen.
If the plot happened again at a different time and place, we would be completely in a passive position and would not have time to take any precautions.
So after considering it, Yun Qingshi could only think of bringing more secret guards.
He knew that in addition to the Twelve Shadow Guards, Xiao Jiwu also had other secret guards, so this method was also feasible.
It's a pity that it is not convenient to bring too many guards, otherwise if the news gets to the emperor's ears, it will cause trouble again. After all, that person can frame Xiao Jiwu with false charges even if he is fine.
The secret guards hide in the dark and cannot be easily seen, so they are much safer.
Also, he is not sure who masterminded this assassination. He previously guessed it was Prince Rui, but now, Prince Su is also likely to have done it.
The emperor blamed Xiao Jiwu for Prince Su's broken leg, and Prince Su would probably think the same way.
In this case, Prince Su might be seeking revenge...
Xiao Jiwu didn't know what Yun Qingshi was thinking, but the moment he finished listening, he couldn't help but think of something.
He quickly smoothed over the boy's hair and said, "So...that's what's bothering you today."
Yun Qingshi came back to his senses after hearing this. After realizing what Xiao Jiwu said, he did not deny it.
After all, it is correct to say so.
He just frowned slightly and asked worriedly, "Is it okay?"
Hearing this, Xiao Jiwu gently stroked Yun Qingshi's hair and answered without hesitation: "Okay, I'll listen to Eleven and bring more secret guards."
Xiao Jiwu naturally didn't know what Yun Qingshi was thinking. He just thought that the boy's anxiety came from the previous assassination.
He didn't just agree to it casually to please the other party. Now that he had Ying Eleven by his side, he wanted to add more manpower. No matter what, he would never let his Ying Eleven get hurt again.
After hearing Xiao Jiwu's affirmative answer, Yun Qingshi could no longer hold back and once again leaned over to hug Prince Xiao's waist, then responded softly, "Yes."
Then, as he was hugging her, Yun Qingshi thought of another thing.
He only knew that this trip would involve an assassination plot, and the time was certain to be in the afternoon, because this was written in the novel and he remembered it very clearly.
But he didn't know whether the specific plot would happen tomorrow or in the next few days.
Because he didn't know whether Xiao Jiwu would stay overnight in Gratitude Temple this time.
This concerns whether he should wear chain mail tomorrow morning, so he has to ask clearly.
Thinking of this, Yun Qingshi immediately raised his head from Xiao Jiwu's arms and asked, "Xiao Jiwu, if we go, will we come back after the worship tomorrow? Or do we have to stay overnight?"
Prince Xiao had no doubts after hearing this and quickly replied, "After tomorrow's ceremony, I will stay at Gratitude Temple for one night and will be back the day after tomorrow."
He then asked, "Why? Eleven doesn't want to live outside?"
Yun Qingshi shook his head and replied, "No, no, I was just asking casually."
After saying that, he buried his head back into Xiao Jiwu's chest...
The time should be the day after tomorrow.
God bless him, God bless him, may he escape successfully and may his brothers be safe and sound.
Yun Qingshi prayed silently...
————
The next day, just after half past the hour of Yin, Yun Qingshi was forced to wake up.
Because Xiao Jiwu directly wiped his face with a hot towel. It was winter, and the hot towel felt cold after wiping, so he couldn't sleep.
Vicious, what a vicious act.
