It was hot inside the carriage.
Qing Wu rubbed her burning ears, and she was completely stunned.
Xiao Chenyan also sat back in his original position, but there was a row of teeth marks on his finger joints.
The ghost got so angry that he grabbed his hand and bit it hard.
He looked at the row of teeth marks on his index finger and smiled inexplicably. He looked at her face and saw that she looked fierce but weak inside, with an angry look on her face:
"What are you looking at? Do you still want to come?"
She covered her ears protectively, her face alert.
"No." Xiao Chenyan shook his head, picked up the scriptures and started reading them again, but he felt a little uneasy.
Qing Wu glanced at him and asked: "Why are you reading the scriptures?"
"It is convenient to copy the scriptures."
"You don't look like you're copying the sutra, you look like you're memorizing it."
"Can doing things perfunctorily be effective?" He glanced at Qing Wu.
"I don't have any."
Xiao Chenyan nodded, but his eyes still did not move away.
Qing Wu's ears were burning from his stare again. She glared at him and said, "Continue reading your scriptures. When you can recite them backwards, you can copy them down."
After saying that, she turned around involuntarily and simply stuck her head out of the window. The cool breeze blew towards her face, which reduced the burning sensation at the base of her ears a little.
She rested her hands on her arms, feeling the breeze, and looked around. When she didn't see Long Weijun, Xie Shu, and the others, she got back into the car.
He wanted to ask Xie Shu, but when he thought of the Judge Pen's previous mumbling, he suddenly changed his tone and asked, "Does the Longwei Army still stay at Chuyun Temple?"
Xiao Chenyan glanced at her, knowing that she wanted to ask someone else, and said calmly:
"The people from the Dali Temple stayed behind to search for the dirty silver that Queen Yun sent to Chuyun Temple with the Longwei Army."
Qing Wu: Ah, this...
She touched her nose and looked away guiltily.
Xiao Chenyan narrowed his eyes and said, "You didn't move the dirty silver away again, did you?"
"I didn't, it wasn't me, I just fell asleep in the carriage, don't slander me."
"Where's the ghost called Night Wanderer?"
Qing Wu closed her eyes and said, "Ah, no, I'm sleepy again."
But this time Xiao Chenyan did not indulge her, but woke her up directly to face her.
"After your task is accomplished, the dirty silver will be divided among us!" Qing Wu opened her eyes with dissatisfaction.
Xiao Chenyan frowned: "Why do you need so much silver?"
Normal people are greedy for money, Xiao Chenyan thinks it's normal.
But she is not human.
"You don't really think ghosts don't need money, do you?" Qing Wu said angrily, "One tael of silver in the human world is only worth one string of money in the underworld. Being a ghost is no easier than being a human these days."
Xiao Chenyan really didn't know this, but it aroused some interest in him.
"This time, we brought out nearly a thousand little ghosts from Chuyun Temple. There are more than a hundred more from Henglu Mountain. There are countless more waiting in line in the underworld to be reincarnated."
Qing Wu curled her lips and said, "Although they died in vain, there will be no problem with reincarnation. I don't know how long they have to wait. Before reincarnation, they can only wait in the City of Wrongful Death."
"The prices in the City of the Dead... let's not talk about it."
"It's not an exaggeration to say that the dirty silver was exchanged for their lives. It was related to their karma, so it was only natural that they should take it to the underworld."
Qing Wu said lazily: "Let's not talk about the 400,000 taels hidden by Yun Houxing. The 700,000 taels buried under Chuyun Temple are all contaminated with Xirang ghost energy. They are real 'dirty silver'."
"I don't need to tell you what the consequences are for ordinary people."
Xiao Chenyan didn't doubt her words.
"You still need to use this dirty silver carefully." Xiao Chenyan pondered, "Can I give you the silver later?"
Qing Wu curled her lips and glared at him angrily: "I owe you."
She thought so and agreed.
When the carriage passed Henglu Mountain, Qing Wu took out the judge's pen and released all the little ghosts.
He signaled them to wait in the mountain temple for a while.
A small ball of light floated down from the mountain, got into the carriage, and circled around Qing Wu. Qing Wu lightly tapped the ball of light.
"I'll leave those little brats in your care."
The small ball of light was the Henglu Mountain spirit. Its spiritual aura was much stronger than before.
"Thank you, beautiful sister~" The little ball of light kept spinning in circles: "If I help them to transcend, I can also gain a lot of virtue~ Hehe~"
"It... is the mountain spirit?" Xiao Chenyan suddenly spoke.
Qing Wu raised her eyebrows, and Xiao Shan Ling said excitedly: "Brother Prince, can you look at me now?"
Xiao Chenyan raised his hand, and the little Shanling fell on his fingertips.
Xiao Chenyan could vaguely feel some temperature from his fingertips. This feeling was somewhat mysterious.
He subconsciously scratched the ball of light with his fingertips, and saw the little mountain spirit shiver and giggle comfortably.
"Brother Prince, I have saved up a lot of gifts for you. Now that you are here, I will give them to you all."
Qing Wu's expression suddenly changed: "No——"
The word "want" has not yet been uttered.
First there was a loud bang, and then there was a loud swish as if something was pouring down.
The body of the carriage suddenly sank, and the axles were cracked.
The man jumped out of the carriage holding the woman. The next moment, there was a scream of startled horses, and the carriage broke into pieces. All kinds of wild fruits fell to the ground. The most outrageous thing was that there were seven or eight wild boars with their legs tied.
Everyone: “…”
Qing Wu was held in Xiao Chenyan's arms, and he angrily scolded her, "You are not giving me a gift, you are sending me away!"
The little ball of light trembled awkwardly: "Oh, I was wrong, I was wrong, I will go to face the wall now~" After saying that, it left the mess on the ground and floated back to the mountain by itself.
Baisui and the others swallowed their saliva and said, "My Lord, what's going on?"
Hong Rui was familiar with this scene and couldn't help laughing: "It's Shan Ling who came to give gifts again. The last time he gave gifts, he filled up the princess's room."
Xiao Chenyan was also a little amused and helpless. The carriage was crushed and he could not ride in it, but since the gift had been delivered, there was no reason to return it.
They are all from Xiao Shanling’s heart.
"Leave a group of people to collect them."
The black-armored guards were excited: "There are still eight wild boars. Oh, these pigs are easy to eat. Your Majesty, can our son have a meal now?"
Xiao Chenyan nodded. There were so many delicacies that he and Qing Wu could not use them all, so it was just right to distribute them to their subordinates.
Qing Wu was in a bad mood. The carriage was destroyed, so she could only ride a horse back to the palace.
After that, she and Xiao Chenyan rode together. She nestled in Xiao Chenyan's arms, bumping her face against his chest from time to time, and her butt was numb from being shaken.
Xiao Chenyan saw that she was grinning all the way and complaining all the time, so he just laughed.
It is really a delicate flower that can't stand the slightest rain or wind.
Since we rode on horseback in the second half of the journey, the return trip was much faster than the going trip. By the time we returned to the capital, the sun had already set.
When entering the city, the city gates will be closed.
On the way into the city, Qing Wu saw that the people were all rushing home, and she also met a few patrolling yamen runners.
"Something happened in the capital?"
It's only been two days since we left Beijing, but the atmosphere in the city has become tense.
"The Ministry of Justice has brought up the issue of kidnapping and killing children. There will be a curfew in the capital for some time."
Qing Wu nodded and didn't ask Xiao Chenyan how he knew all this.
She yawned and said lazily, "Wang Ye is going to leave. He will be lonely all alone. Please, my father, the Shangshu, will accompany him."
Xiao Chenyan lowered his eyes and saw that the corners of her eyes were wet. He raised his hand to wipe them for her and said jokingly, "Are you sad?"
She rolled her eyes and said sarcastically, "That's not true. I, your princess, have sacrificed my relatives for the sake of justice. The sad girl will have to eat three bowls of rice to make up for it."
Qing Wu heard the muffled laugh in the man's chest.
"You are allowed to eat one bucket."
Upon hearing this, Qing Wu wanted to pinch him angrily. She pinched his waist and abdomen for a long time, but didn't pinch any soft flesh, only hard muscles.
"Stop it." Xiao Chenyan held her mischievous hand and noticed something wrong with her body. There was a momentary embarrassment on his face. Before Qingwu noticed it, he turned over and got off the horse.
Qing Wu was riding on a horse alone, looking at him strangely: "Why did you get off the horse?"
The man looked normal, glanced at her, but his tone was intriguing: "Lead the horse for the princess."
Qing Wu laughed complacently.
Suddenly, she looked toward the second floor of a shop facing the street.
That shop was none other than Jinluoge. In the elegant room on the second floor, a noble lady was looking down with a hint of disbelief in her eyes.
"County Lady, curfew is about to begin, we should go back home. Hey, is that Prince Yan? He's actually holding someone else's horse. Is the person on the horse Princess Yan? She's not..." The maid's voice stopped.
Princess Anyi retracted her gaze and said coldly, "Shut up, you are not qualified to discuss King Yan."
The maidservant was silent.
Princess Anyi stood up and said coldly, "What Princess Yan? She will soon be the daughter of a guilty minister. How can she be qualified to occupy that position?"
Princess Anxi bit her lips tightly and twisted a handkerchief in her hand.
What she couldn't get rid of in her mind was the look Xiao Chenyan gave Qing Wu when he dismounted from the horse. She actually saw smile and doting in those eyes.
Impossible!
Princess An refused to admit it.
Everyone in the capital city knows that the current Princess Yan is a "joke", a "clown" sent by the Eastern Palace to insult the Yan Palace.
How could Prince Yan acknowledge this princess? Look at what the Minister of Revenue's Mansion has become now?
On the second day after the wedding, Queen Yun went to the palace, and Queen Bo carried a coffin back home and fell ill.
Soon after, it was discovered that he and his subordinate, Minister Wang, were involved in the kidnapping and murder of children.
Princess An was born in the prime minister's mansion and was quite favored by her father. The day before yesterday, when she went to bring midnight snack to her father, she overheard the conversation between her father and his staff and learned that Yun Houxing was also involved in corruption and had embezzled a huge amount of money, a crime punishable by death.
Although he has not been imprisoned yet, the evidence is complete and his guilt is proven.
Princess An also heard from her father that although the matter came from the Dali Temple, the real culprit behind it was probably Prince Yan.
Princess Anyi thought about it and felt at ease.
Oh, if King Yan really took Yun Qingwu seriously, how could he be so cruel to Queen Yun?
Even if he showed his favor to the princess outwardly, it was just an act.
As long as this annoying princess is gone, she still has a chance.
My father also said that the East Palace is incompetent, and Prince Yan has the military power in his hands. Even if Your Majesty dislikes him, it is hard to predict who will win or lose in the future!
When Prince Yan returned to the capital, she missed the opportunity due to her hesitation. This time, the opportunity was right in front of her and she must not miss it again!
If she won, she would be glorious and prosperous, if she lost... Oh, there was no way she could lose in what she planned to do!
