"But don't you have a cook in your temple? These small things should be done by the cook."

Hearing this, the young monks were a little confused.

"What are you talking about, lady donor? We don't have a cook in this temple. Besides, monks live a simple life. As long as they can fill their stomachs, they don't need to hire a cook. There are so many monks in our temple. Many of them can cook. We don't need to hire a cook at all."

From their tone, Chu Weiyue realized that except for them who had just arrived recently, all the others in the temple were monks.

"But I saw a man a few days ago who claimed to be your cook. By the way, it seemed to be dusk."

"Lady donor, that's even more impossible. We don't have any other men here except the one who delivers the food every day. He delivers it every morning and then leaves."

Without saying much to Chu Weiyue, they left with water and firewood.

Chu Weiyue was completely stunned. If that person was not the cook, he must be someone with ulterior motives.

Suddenly I thought of the murderous and cold eyes in that person, which were exactly the same as those of the killers sent to assassinate Wen Jingchi. They were probably from the same group.

Considering the current situation, Chu Weiyue can almost conclude that the man who claimed to be a cook he met two days ago must be a killer.

Without hesitation, he immediately went to find Wen Jingchi, who had just finished accompanying the Empress Dowager in praying and was reading a book in the garden.

When he found Chu Weiyue coming, he looked a little depressed: "Why don't you just lie down in bed and jump around?"

Chu Weiyue rolled his eyes in dissatisfaction and didn't have time to talk nonsense with him.

"I met a man who claimed to be a cook two days ago, but I just asked the monks and they said there is no cook here. I think he must be a killer who came to the temple quietly and lurked..."

Realizing the seriousness of the situation, Wen Jingchi immediately gave orders to his men beside him.

"Immediately dispatch more personnel to search the temple thoroughly and arrest any suspicious persons immediately."

After his men left, Wen Jingchi immediately stood up and prepared to leave.

Suddenly remembering something, he returned to Chu Weiyue again.

"The killer has entered the temple and is lurking. You should not go out recently. It is best for you to stay in your room and recover from your injuries."

Chu Weiyue was so happy that her eyes sparkled. She immediately took Wen Jingchi's arm and shook it twice: "Your Highness, are you worried about me?"

Wen Jingchi narrowed his eyes and poured a basin of cold water on him without hesitation.

"If you want to treat it as a concern, that's fine, but I just don't want to have another burden!"

His tone was somewhat teasing, and Chu Weiyue immediately made a heartbroken expression, feeling aggrieved and almost crying.

The corners of Wen Jingchi's lips rose slightly, but he soon returned to his usual coldness and turned away.

At the same time, Cao Gang leader Jin San was hiding in the woodshed, trembling all over.

Hearing a noise outside, he leaned over the window to take a look, and it turned out to be a killer dressed in plain clothes.

His face changed drastically. When he learned that these people were coming to the woodshed to search, he immediately fled in panic.

However, because his injuries were too severe, he lost too much blood, and he had run out of painkillers, he finally fainted in the back mountain.

After lunch, Chu Weiyue was picking wild flowers in the back hills, planning to make a wreath for Wen Jingchi, when she suddenly saw a man fainted on the ground.

"What’s wrong with you?"

Chu Weiyue quickly ran over and patted him gently on the face.

He was completely unconscious, blood was constantly flowing from his chest, and he was extremely weak.

Seeing the tattoo on his hand, Chu Weiyue's face changed. If his guess was correct, this man should be Jin San, the leader of the Cao Gang.

Only the leader of the Cao Gang has a snake-shaped tattoo on his hand.

When she was investigating the Cao Gang before, she obtained a portrait of Jin San. Now that she thinks about it, he is very similar to the man in front of her.

Thinking of those assassins, Chu Weiyue was instantly certain that they were not only coming for Wen Jingchi and the Queen Mother, but might also be looking for Jin San.

Fortunately, Jin San was short and Chu Weiyue’s injuries had mostly healed, so they managed to put him into the sack.

Wait until dark when there is no one around, then quietly take it back to your room and hide it under the bed.

Her wounds had already healed and she didn't need to take any medicine. She thought it must have been done by the same group of people. Even if the wounds on Jin San's body were poisonous, it would not be wrong to drink these medicines.

She poured all the medicine that she didn't want to drink into his mouth and helped him treat his wounds.

After two whole days, Jin San's complexion finally returned to its rosy color, but he was still in a coma.

That morning, Chu Weiyue poured the medicine into his mouth as usual.

After finishing everything, his forehead was covered in sweat. He rolled up his sleeves and sat on the ground, catching his breath.

Suddenly, Wen Jingchi pushed the door open and walked in.

When he saw the man lying on the ground, his expression changed instantly.

"Chu Weiyue, who is he? You are really capable. You actually hid a man in the room!"

He immediately became angry and ashamed, and instinctively thought that Chu Weiyue's illness had recurred.

He looked so angry, just like a husband who caught his wife in bed with her lover!

After a moment's pause, Chu Weiyue realized that he had misunderstood. He immediately stopped him, dragged him into the room and closed the door.

"Don't get me wrong, my lord. You are the only one in my heart. How could there be any other man besides you..." She pulled Wen Jingchi's clothes to coax him sweetly.

Wen Jingchi didn't know where his anger came from, and he pushed her away with force.

"Chu Weiyue, how many men have you said these words to? Do you think I will still believe you?"

Although Jin San was unconscious, he looked quite handsome and manly.

In addition, Wen Jingchi had never seen the leader of the Cao Gang. He had only heard of him, but he did not recognize him.

Seeing Wen Jingchi's jealous look, Chu Weiyue laughed smugly a few times: "Your Majesty won't be jealous, right?"

As if he had been exposed, Wen Jingchi suddenly became angry and embarrassed.

"Okay, stop messing around!" Chu Weiyue couldn't help but laugh and joke.

Such a coquettish tone made Wen Jingchi seem to be being unreasonable.

"He is Jin San, the leader of the Cao Gang. Look at the tattoo on his hand."

He took his hand and asked Wen Jingchi to check it, and indeed he found the tattoo on his hand.

Thinking about the appearance of the Cao Gang leader that he had heard others describe, Wen Jingchi realized that he was really the Cao Gang leader.

At this moment, Jin San opened his eyes in a daze.

Although he was unconscious these days, he knew that there was a woman who was treating him.

Seeing Chu Weiyue, he immediately bowed his head and said, "Thank you for saving me, young lady. I will repay you for your kindness one day!"

Although Wen Jingchi had never seen Jin San, Jin San recognized Wen Jingchi because Wen Chenxuan had given him a portrait of Wen Jingchi before.

"You must be the Ninth Prince..."

Wen Jingchi didn't waste any words with him and nodded calmly: "Yes, I am the Ninth Prince, but who is Jin San, the leader of the Cao Gang?"
