Rong Xiu glanced at the people in the room and suddenly sneered.
"I have broadened my horizons today!" Rong Xiu looked at everyone sarcastically and said with his arms folded.
"The second young lady of the Hua family can turn black into white and the dead into alive!" Rong Xiu mocked, "It's obvious that it was Su who poisoned the wife of the prime minister's mansion and the daughter of Lord Xu, and sent someone to kill Li Sheng! But it was said to be a trivial matter in the harem! Ha!"
Rong Xiu turned around and looked at Hua Yuanshan with disdain, saying, "Good and evil will be rewarded in the end. You and Su Shi have killed people, and you will be punished sooner or later!"
His words were powerful, and when he left, his steps were so brisk that he almost used light skills.
But when they arrived at Linyuan Courtyard, they were still a step too late. There were no signs of fighting in the silent courtyard, and there was no sign of living people around.
Rong Xiu clicked his tongue, turned around and rushed out of the mansion.
…
In the shaking carriage, Hua Yuanzhao woke up slowly.
It was really like she was shooting sparrows all day long but got pecked in the eye by a sparrow. She was still making medicine with Poria cocos during the day but was knocked unconscious by someone with a handful of sleeping pills at night.
Fortunately, she had prepared some antidote in advance to protect herself, so she was not unconscious for too long, but her limbs were still a little weak.
Hua Yuanzhao tried to move her wrists, only to find that her hands were tied behind her back. She took out a knife from the space, quickly cut the rope, and helped Fuling untie the ropes.
Fuling was still sleeping, and only opened her eyes dazedly after she shook her several times.
"Miss..." Fuling murmured, her eyes suddenly widened, and she looked at Hua Yuanzhao in horror: "I, we..."
Hua Yuanzhao covered her mouth and made a gesture to keep quiet, then he lowered his voice and said, "Look outside and see if you can recognize the road?"
She didn't know where these people were going to send them. Fortunately, she had some self-defense powder in her hand. If nothing worked, she would have to take action.
Fuling quietly lifted a corner of the carriage window and looked out secretly. Her body tensed up in an instant and an uncontrollable shrill scream came out of her throat.
A pair of eyes with distinct black and white appeared outside the window at some point, and they just happened to meet the eyes of Fuling who was looking outside.
The moment Fuling screamed, a panicked shout was heard from outside.
"Oh my god!"
The carriage stopped abruptly. Hua Yuanzhao held onto the wall of the carriage with one hand and grabbed Fuling with the other, and finally managed to steady himself.
The coachman quickly lifted the carriage curtain, and when their eyes met, he leaned back in shock: "The young lady is awake!"
The drug they used was so strong that even the horses would fall asleep for three days and three nights! How come the young lady woke up so quickly?
Hua Yuanzhao silently clenched the paper bag, ready to take action at any time.
"Miss." The driver swallowed nervously and said with a smile: "Please sit down. Madam Han ordered me to take you to the temple to reflect on your actions..."
Hua Yuanzhao raised his eyebrows. Why didn’t she believe it?
Fuling seized the opportunity, glanced outside quickly, and then nodded to Hua Yuanzhao.
This direction is indeed the direction out of the city, and several famous nunneries on the outskirts of the city are here.
"Miss, please don't make things difficult for us." The driver said earnestly, "Madam Han said that you have to stay in the nunnery for half a month to pray for the old lady. Even if you go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion now, you can't get in!"
The servants surrounding the carriage followed over, each with their heads lowered, their attitudes humble and pitiful.
"Miss, don't worry. We will hand you over to the nun tonight. We will leave immediately and will not leave anything to hinder you." A clever servant interrupted, "We will pick you up in half a month. You can just be there then."
Hua Yuanzhao looked at these people in surprise. She didn't mind eating vegetarian food for a few days to lose weight. It could be considered as a way of having fun.
But, can these people be so kind?
Hua Yuanzhao took a quick glance and realized that there were only eight servants escorting her and Fuling.
And looking at the postures of these people, they all seem to be martial artists.
Hua Yuanzhao estimated the possibility of taking down these people, and then said with a smile: "In that case, thank you for your help."
Seeing that she was willing to cooperate, the coachman and the servants all breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, the eldest lady is willing to cooperate. If we fight here, it will be troublesome if she gets hurt.
Hua Yuanzhao pulled Fuling into the carriage, secretly observing the opportunity to escape.
These people were very vigilant and kept a close watch along the way until they saw the gate of the nunnery.
The moon was already at its highest point in the sky, and there was actually a nun waiting in front of the nunnery.
Hua Yuanzhao got off the carriage and could see the plaque on the gate clearly in the bright moonlight.
Jingsi Temple!
Hua Yuanzhao stared at the words on the plaque, his eyelids twitching.
She said that this group of people would not let her go easily! Isn't this Jingsi Temple the place that Princess Lin'an mentioned before, where officials' families who made mistakes would be punished!
Su Shi is here too!
"Amitabha, my Buddhist name is Su Xin." The nun in the lead chanted, "Is it Donor Hua who is here?"
