Chapter 167 Designing the Princess
It was an hour later that Mo Yunzhu came back from Zhuo Yu. She went back to her room and lay quietly on the bed, thinking about tomorrow's plan.
Early the next morning, Mo Yunzhu packed a bag, took Mo Er, Mo Jiu, Mo Shisi and six others, and quietly left the general's mansion.
This time I didn’t bring Yuan Qing, Chang Teng and the others because they had to be new faces.
At the same time, Zhuo Yu left Wanyao Pavilion before dawn and waited around Baoguo Temple early.
Mo Yunzhu was sitting in a hired carriage, and the one driving was Mo Shisi. At this moment, Mo Yunzhu had put on makeup in the carriage and looked like a forty-year-old woman, with darker skin, smaller eyes, and wrinkles at the corners of her eyes.
The clothes on her body turned into ordinary dark-colored gown, making her look like an old woman from a commoner family.
When getting off the car at the gate of Baoguo Temple, Mo Shisi was shocked. Where did his eldest daughter go?
"Fourteen." Mo Yunzhu spoke, and Mo Fourteen finally recognized it. He thought to himself that the eldest lady actually had such a skill.
The other secret guards who followed the car were all shocked by Mo Yunzhu's disguise. They could no longer recognize Mo Yunzhu's face.
There were not many people burning incense today. Most of them were ladies from wealthy families. However, there were quite a few horse-drawn carriages parked there.
There is a long staircase at the main entrance, so everyone has to climb up by themselves.
Mo Yunzhu and a few others also walked up slowly. Upstairs was the Main Hall, and behind it were three courtyards.
The smoke from the incense was curling up, and the believers were all very pious. Mo Yunzhu knew that the eldest princess and her companions had not arrived yet, so she went to burn incense and worship Buddha with great sincerity.
By the way, let's learn about the structure of Baoguo Temple. There are back doors and side doors in the three courtyards. Some of them lead to pavilions and pavilions, and there are also mountain streams.
Therefore, many people would like to go sightseeing after worshipping Buddha. In addition, the vegetarian dishes at Baoguo Temple taste good, so everyone would stay for lunch before leaving one after another.
Mo Yunzhu went through the side doors and back doors one by one before she found the place she had agreed with Zhuo Yu.
It's the side door of the third courtyard, with a stone staircase leading to the back mountain. There's a covered dry well below, and nothing else, so most people don't come here.
Even if they come, they will leave quickly if they see nothing.
After all, behind the dry well is a dense forest and there are no stone steps. If you are not careful when walking, you may easily roll down.
Zhuo Yu and his men were hiding in this forest. They were blocked by trees and earth slopes, so Mo Yunzhu couldn't see clearly.
"Meow~" Mo Yunzhu suddenly imitated the meow of a cat.
The cat's meow was quickly responded to from below, which reassured Mo Yunzhu until Mo Jiu quickly came over.
"Miss, the eldest princess and her two companions have come up."
Mo Yunzhu raised the corner of her mouth and said, "Okay, are all the people hidden? Did you remember what I told you before?"
"They're all hidden and remembered." Mo Jiu nodded immediately.
Mo Yunzhu hurried back to the main hall, and Mo Jiu was standing not far away like a servant.
Mo Yunzhu was kneeling on the mat, muttering something to herself, and soon someone came in.
Mo Yunzhu did not move. Someone immediately knelt down on the mat beside her and laid down the complicated hem of her skirt layer by layer.
Mo Yunzhu knew it was the eldest princess without turning around.
Originally, Mo Yunzhu thought that this woman's arrival would definitely drive away other people, but that didn't happen. It seems that this woman has been keeping a much lower profile recently.
Mo Yunzhu sneered and then kowtowed. Of course, when she put her hands on the ground, the jade bracelet on her wrist suddenly slipped off.
The eldest princess beside her happened to be kowtowing as well, and she saw the jade bracelet at a glance, then turned to look at Mo Yunzhu.
Mo Yunzhu seemed unaware and continued to mutter and kowtow.
The eldest princess frowned as she looked at the old woman Mo Yunzhu's face. This was not Mo Yunzhu.
But why is this woman's jade bracelet so similar to the one the Queen Mother gave to Mo Yunzhu?
That was a priceless bracelet. Judging from what the woman was wearing, she was probably an ordinary woman from the capital. How could she have such a good bracelet?
"Madam, do you want to go to the back and take a look? I heard that someone saw a sika deer in the forest behind the mountain yesterday. If you can see it, it would be a blessing." Mo Jiu came over and whispered to Mo Yunzhu.
"Really? Then we have to go and take a look." Mo Yunzhu nodded, stood up, and walked to the back.
The eldest princess was attracted by the jade bracelet and was very confused. She immediately stood up as well.
A man and a woman came in from behind. They were Qi Hong and the little princess. Just after they lit the incense, they saw the eldest princess stand up and walk to the back.
"Xi'er." Qi Hong immediately called Jun Fengxi, walked over and asked, "Where are you going?"
"Qi Hong, I just saw my mother's jade bracelet. How could it be worn by a woman? Did that damn Mo Yunzhu sell the bracelet my mother gave her? I have to go and take a look."
"What? How is that possible?" Qi Hong frowned immediately, "Did you see it wrong?"
"No, I can recognize my mother's bracelet at a glance. Go and take a look and you'll know." After saying this, he immediately walked to the back.
Qi Hong was naturally worried. They came out in a low profile because his identity was embarrassing. So the guards were waiting by the carriage at the foot of the mountain, and only the three of them went up the mountain to pay homage.
He was worried about Jun Fengxi, so he immediately pulled his daughter to follow.
Jun Fengxi saw that Mo Yunzhu had already walked into the second courtyard, so she quickly lifted her skirt and quickened her pace to catch up.
Qi Hong was afraid that she was in danger, so he picked up the little princess and quickly chased after her.
"I'm catching up." Mo Jiu said softly to Mo Yunzhu.
Mo Yunzhu snorted coldly. She knew that as long as Jun Fengxi saw the bracelet, she would definitely want to find out.
Mo Yunzhu had just walked to the side gate of the third courtyard when Jun Fengxi caught up with her.
"Stop!" Jun Fengxi shouted angrily.
Mo Yunzhu turned around with a look of surprise.
"Miss, are you calling us Madam?" Mo Jiu asked immediately.
Jun Fengxi coughed, walked up to Mo Yunzhu, looked at her hand and said, "Show me your bracelet."
Mo Yunzhu is really funny. This woman always has this condescending look wherever she goes.
"Miss, why are you doing this? Why should I show you the bracelet? Do you want to steal my jade bracelet?" Mo Yunzhu's voice was low and old.
Jun Fengxi was almost angered by Mo Yunzhu's words. Did she, the eldest princess, look like a robber who wanted to steal someone's bracelet?
After Mo Yunzhu finished speaking, she turned around and walked out the door without even looking at her angry face.
"Madam, I heard that the sika deer was seen down there." Mo Jiu said again.
Mo Yunzhu walked quickly down the stairs.
"Hey, hey, stop right there!" Jun Fengxi became angry when she saw that the woman ignored her.
Mo Yunzhu frowned and turned her head. Jun Fengxi immediately took out the aura of the eldest princess and shouted coquettishly: "Do you know who I am?"
