Chapter 20 The Sacred Object of Miao Territory!
Lan Lingrou took a few steps forward, her eyes filled with worry. "Big sister, I'm so glad you're okay."
Lan Xiyue snorted softly, and a barely perceptible sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth.
"Second sister, you must be very disappointed!"
Upon hearing this, Lan Lingrou frowned, a layer of mist quickly gathered in her eyes, and her grievance was beyond words.
"Sister, I was so worried when you were kidnapped. How could you misunderstand me like that?" Her voice trembled slightly, as if she would collapse at any time.
Lan Xiyue remained unmoved, expressionless. "Alright, stop pretending to be so affectionate with your sister. If you don't find it annoying, I find it disgusting."
Before she finished speaking, Lan Lingrou's tears finally burst out and rolled down like pearls from a broken string.
She looked at Lan Xiyue in disbelief. The eyes that were once full of respect, love and dependence were now filled with strangeness and confusion.
Seeing this, Shihua hurried forward to support him, her eyes full of indignation and injustice.
"Miss, how can you say that about Miss?"
Lan Xiyue's eyes suddenly became sharp. She raised her hand suddenly and slapped Shihua hard in the face with a "slap".
Shihua's cheeks instantly turned red and swollen, and her eyes were full of astonishment and humiliation.
"Who are you to have the right to speak?" Lan Xiyue's voice was as cold as frost, making people feel chilled.
Lan Lingrou's heart was filled with grief and anger, "Big sister, why did you hit my maid again?"
"When the master is speaking, a maidservant has no right to interrupt. Since the second sister can't discipline the maidservants, as the eldest sister, I don't mind doing it for you."
Lan Lingrou clenched the handkerchief in her hand, her face looking very grim. "Since Big Sister is fine, I'll go back and copy the scriptures."
At this moment, Lan Xiyue stretched out her foot inconspicuously, and Lan Lingrou staggered and fell flat on her face.
"ah……"
Her dress was covered in mud and her hair was disheveled, making her look particularly disheveled.
"Hey! Second sister, why are you so careless!"
"Miss..." Shihua ignored the burning pain on her face and hurriedly helped Lan Lingrou up, her eyes full of heartache.
Lan Lingrou looked back at Lan Xiyue, felt embarrassed, and left in a hurry.
Lan Jiaoyun watched this scene from a distance and laughed softly, "I never thought that my eldest sister and second sister would fight each other."
Lan Xiyue returned to the room, and Chuchun and Chuxia looked her up and down.
"Okay, I'm really fine."
The two girls finally breathed a sigh of relief. Chuchun walked over, opened the bundle, took out a porcelain bottle, and walked over, "Miss, I'll apply medicine on your neck."
"No, it's just a little skin breakage, no problem."
"No." Chuchun carefully applied ointment on Lan Xiyue's neck.
Chu Xia said from the side: "Miss, has the female spy been caught?"
"Of course he was caught by the Regent."
"Serves her right. Let her take the young lady hostage."
Lan Xiyue smiled and lay on the bed, feeling very happy. This trip to Xiangguo Temple was not in vain, she earned a lot of points, which was a wonderful thought.
Seven thousand points is equivalent to seventy days of life, not bad.
Chuchun and Chuxia were both a little puzzled to see that their young lady was in such a good mood.
The two girls were tactful and didn't disturb her.
The next day, Xiangguo Temple was still bustling with people, with no change due to what happened yesterday.
Lan Lingrou and her group walked lightly into the front yard of Xiangguo Temple, holding the copied Buddhist scriptures.
They looked solemn and silently prayed for the old lady in their hearts.
Lan Lingrou opened her red lips slightly, her voice was as thin as a mosquito, but full of affection: "May grandma live a long and healthy life, and recover from her illness soon." After that, she carefully placed the Buddhist scriptures in her hand into the incense burner that had been prepared long ago.
Lan Jiaoyun stepped forward and placed the Buddhist scriptures into the incense burner. "May grandma live a long and healthy life, and enjoy a long life of blessings."
Lan Xiyue thought to herself, if the Buddha is really spiritual, please bless me to earn enough points as soon as possible so that I can live a carefree life. Lan Xiyue threw the Buddhist scriptures into the incense burner.
As wisps of green smoke rose, the Buddhist scriptures gradually turned into ashes under the licking of flames, as if carrying their prayers to the sky.
The firelight shone on her face, revealing a look of determination and piety.
A senior monk standing by, wearing a cassock and holding a rosary, closed his eyes and concentrated, chanting: "Namo Amitabha, may the Buddha's light shine upon us, and may the old lady live a long and healthy life, free from the pain and suffering of illness."
As the monks chanted, the air seemed to be filled with an indescribable tranquility and peace.
………
In the dungeon of the Prince Regent's Palace, "What? Still refusing to speak?"
An Yi shook his head and said, "Master, we have tried all the punishments, but this woman is very stubborn and refuses to speak. She is still hanging on by a thread."
"kill!"
Mo Liyuan left the dungeon without looking back.
Mo Liyuan had just entered the study and sat down when Mo Yifan arrived. "Little uncle, the Empress Dowager asked you to enter the palace."
"No."
"Hey! Little uncle, aren't you afraid that the Empress Dowager will come to your Regent Palace?"
Mo Liyuan glanced at him. Mo Yifan scratched his head and sat across from him. "Little uncle, I heard from Tianyi that you were injured. Was it Miss Lan who saved you?"
"Little Uncle, you and Miss Lan are truly destined to be together."
Mo Liyuan tapped his fingers on the table, "Are you free?"
Mo Yifan waved his hands repeatedly, stood up and prepared to leave.
"You will investigate the female assassin who broke into the palace that night and tried to assassinate me. In half a month, I will see her alive or dead."
Mo Yifan's body stiffened. "No, little uncle, I don't even know what the woman looked like that night or how skilled she was. How can I investigate?"
Mo Liyuan raised an eyebrow, "That's your business."
Mo Yifan had a bitter face. He shouldn't have come.
Tianyi walked in, "Master, a secret letter from Netherworld Pavilion."
Mo Liyuan took it, opened it and took a look, and his whole body felt cold.
Mo Yifan took a closer look, "Miaojiang? What are they looking for in the capital?"
"Master, Third Prince, I heard that the sacred relics of the former Miao King were lost. Could they be them?"
Mo Yifan laughed, "The sacred object of the former Miao king was lost, so how could it come to our Dongyao Kingdom? No, they wouldn't think that the sacred object of the former Miao king is in our Dongyao Kingdom, right?"
Mo Liyuan said coldly, "Let the Netherworld Pavilion investigate. What is the Miaojiang sacred object?"
"Yes" Tianyi walked out.
In a house in the capital, a man knelt on the ground with his head bowed. "Elder Jiang, our people were discovered by Mo Liyuan's men. There were heavy casualties. The Right Protector was captured, the Left Protector was seriously injured, and everyone who tried to rescue the Right Protector was killed."
Elder Jiang narrowed his eyes. "Asshole! The main purpose of our trip is to find the holy relic. Before we came, didn't we repeatedly warn you not to confront Mo Liyuan?"
