Chapter 127: Qingshan Temple Asking about the Past
Yun Qiao felt sleepy quickly and fell asleep as soon as she finished speaking.
The next morning, Yun Qiao got up, washed up, and before she had breakfast, she heard Li Yuan's voice coming from outside the door.
"Third cousin is really something. He doesn't have time to accompany Sister Qiao, so he has to call me over."
The maidservant in front of Li Yuan smiled and said, "Don't you like it very much, young lady?"
"That's natural."
As soon as Li Yuan finished speaking, Yun Qiao opened the door and looked at Li Yuan standing outside with a faint smile on her pretty face.
"Why are you here?"
"My Lord asked me to accompany you to Qingshan Temple. Why are you thinking of going to Qingshan Temple? Although Qingshan Temple is said to be effective, it is on the mountainside. If you are not afraid of being tired, then let's go there."
Yun Qiao had mentioned to Chen Jingyan before that she wanted to go to Qingshan Temple, but she didn't expect that he would arrange for Li Yuan to accompany her.
It just so happened that she was indeed going to Qingshan Temple.
"I heard it's very effective. I'm going to ask for a peace charm."
"Okay, I'll go with you. I just went with my mother a while ago. However, I heard that something happened to Master Hui'an of Qingshan Temple. Many people were blocked outside the temple and were not allowed to enter. My mother couldn't go and she even complained to me."
Yun Qiao perked up when she suddenly heard a familiar name.
"How is Master Hui'an doing now?"
Li Yuan shook his head. "I don't know about that. I just heard he was injured. But don't worry, he's not some bandit."
Li Yuan thought Yun Qiao was afraid of this, so he explained it.
Now that there was news about Master Huian, Yun Qiao could no longer sit still. She stood up, packed up a little, bought some food on the street, took a carriage, and went to Qingshan Temple with Li Yuan.

Chen Jingyan and Gu Heng were sitting in the teahouse, and he asked about Qingshan Temple.
Gu Heng was curious and asked, "When did Sanlang become interested in Qingshan Temple?"
"I'm just curious. I heard something happened at Qingshan Temple some time ago?"
Qingshan Temple is the most efficacious temple in Jiangcheng. There is an endless stream of pilgrims coming to burn incense every day. If you ask around, you will know what happens in Qingshan Temple.
Gu Heng then said, "I was there that day, accompanying Aunt Li."
Of course, he went only because Li Yuan pestered him to do so.
"At the time, a nun was injured, and rumors spread that bandits had invaded Qingshan Temple. The pilgrims' wives, fearing they might die in the temple, rushed up and down the mountain. Their anxiety and panic spread, and indeed, many pilgrims had their money stolen that day."
Gu Heng recounted the story a bit. Chen Jingyan asked casually, saying that some things could only be found out by looking them up specifically.
"Did Second Brother meet any familiar faces at Qingshan Temple that day?"
Gu Heng cleverly asked him, "Why do you ask this, Sanlang?"
"My guards said they discovered Princess Huachao had been to Qingshan Temple. I want to know when the incident happened..."
Gu Heng naturally remembered clearly the day he went to Qingshan Temple.
After he finished speaking, Chen Jingyan had a general idea in his mind.
Although Gu Heng didn't know what Chen Jingyan wanted to do, he could feel that Chen Jingyan was on guard against Princess Hua Chao.
He even wanted to find some clues that would be detrimental to Princess Huachao...
Why did he feel that Sanlang didn't wish Princess Hua Chao well?
I hope it's just his illusion.

Yun Qiao and Li Yuan drove to Qingshan Temple. When they first arrived at the temple, there were quite a few people inside, but not too many either. She and Li Yuan each took incense sticks, respectfully walked forward to burn incense, and added some money for the pilgrims.
On the way here, Yun Qiao told Li Yuan that she wanted to ask Master Huian to help her.
Ever since the incident with Master Huian, she rarely appears to help people with fortune-telling.
This was because Li Yuan's mother had some friendship with Master Huian, so Li Yuan stepped forward and invited Master Huian out.
Yun Qiao stepped forward, "Hello, Master Huian."
Master Huian looked up at Yunqiao, her eyes changed slightly, but quickly returned to normal.
"Hello, benefactor."
"Don't be nervous, Master Hui'an. I have some personal questions for you."
"Cousin, could you please wait for me outside?"
Li Yuan didn't like asking these questions. She felt that the things written in the hexagrams were too abstract. Instead of asking so many questions, it would be better to try hard on her own.
"I'm just feeling bored. You can ask your questions while I take a walk outside."
After Li Yuan finished speaking, he turned and walked out.
After the door closed, Yun Qiao didn't bother pretending anymore and asked her directly, "Master Hui'an, do you know Grandma Wang? Her original name was Wang Yujuan."
Yujuan is the name of Yunqiao's wet nurse.
“You, you are…”
"Yun Qiao, the eldest daughter of the Yun family in northern Shaanxi, I think you should know something about my identity."
"I have no idea."
Nun Huian answered directly, and the answer came so easily that Yun Qiao knew in her heart that Nun Huian must know something, she just didn't want to say it.
"What is the relationship between Princess Huachao and you?"
Master Huian's mood was already very abnormal.
"It doesn't matter. I don't know any Flower Dynasty Princess."
Yun Qiao stood up and approached. "If I'm not mistaken, you are related to Princess Huachao, and she is not the real princess. Or, I am the real princess, and she is the fake one. Do you know that if this is discovered, you will be guilty of genocide?"
"No, that's not right. You're not right..."
Master Huian became panic-stricken.
"You're not right."
"Then what is right?" Yun Qiao pressed her.
Master Hui'an said nothing, she just sat there, "You guys want to force me to death, as long as I die, as long as I die..."
Yun Qiao frowned and looked at Master Huian who seemed to have some mental problems, but she didn't want to ask any more questions.
As she said, if she and Princess Huachao were not the so-called real and fake princesses, then what was the point of her looking for the so-called truth.
Yun Qiao frowned, stood up and left.
"Xiao Qiao, you are Xiao Qiao, you are Xiao Qiao..."
As Yun Qiao pushed the door open and walked out, she suddenly heard Master Hui'an shout this. She frowned, "Do you have anything to tell me?"
"Seeing that you are doing well, don't ask about the past. It's all in the past."
Those who are dead are gone, and those who are gone are gone. Why bother looking for the past?
Yun Qiao didn't understand what she meant, but when she asked, Master Huian said nothing.
Yun Qiao was thinking that she would wait until she returned to Kyoto and write a letter to her wet nurse to ask about her past. The reason why Yun Qiao didn't want to ask more was actually because when she traveled through time, the Yun family had already encountered trouble.
She has no memory of what happened back then.
Naturally, there is no emotion.
When Yun Qiao went out, she saw Li Yuan holding fish food and feeding the fat koi in Qingshan Temple.
Yun Qiao also threw in a handful of fish food.
Li Yuan asked her, "What did you ask? How did you get it back so quickly? My mother's question would take at least an hour to resolve."
Yun Qiao smiled.
"That's all just gossip. I don't think what Master Hui'an said is accurate. I believe that destiny is in our own hands."
Li Yuan liked what she said and said, "I believe you. No wonder we're such good friends. We think alike. My grandfather once said that if I were a man, I would be much better than my brothers."
Look at her arrogant and confident little face, which is what Yun Qiao envies.
She has good parents and a good family background, so she has the capital to try and make mistakes.
But she didn't.
She has to rely on herself for everything here. Even though Chen Jingyan likes her now, she dare not give herself completely to him.
Perhaps only when you are strong enough will you dare to rush into a relationship without considering the consequences.
They burned incense and prayed to Buddha for amulets for peace, and fed the koi fish in Qingshan Temple until they were full. Only then did they leave Qingshan Temple.
What a coincidence, she had just come down the mountain.
Chen Jingyan's men went up the mountain and took Master Huian away directly.
Seeing that Yun Qiao was in a good mood, Li Yuan took her to a jewelry store. The two of them picked out a lot of jewelry, and Yun Qiao paid for it herself. As expected, when a woman is in a bad mood, she will feel better if she buys more jewelry.
"It's been fun to spend the day with you. When I go to Kyoto someday, I'll do the same with you."
"Sister Qiao, tell me, if the Marquis likes you so much, why doesn't he just marry you?"
Yun Qiao smiled and said, "You also said that he was the Marquis. How did I get into the Marquis's mansion? I was just sold in by my aunt. How can I become the Marquis's legitimate wife? You can only say this in front of me, but don't dare to say it in the Marquis's mansion."
After sending Li Yuan to the door of the Li family, Yun Qiao went straight back to the inn.
I had just opened the jewelry boxes and taken a look when I heard footsteps outside the door.
She didn't close the jewelry box and turned to look in the direction Chen Jingyan came from.
"You just came down the mountain, so you must be hungry. What do you want to eat? I'll have someone prepare it..."
Yun Qiao said, "Anything is fine. I'm not too hungry right now. After we got down the mountain, my cousin and I had some snacks on the street. The stinky tofu was really delicious."
"What a strange appetite! I prefer to eat those stinky things."
Chen Jingyan whispered a few words to her.
Ask your subordinates to prepare some light meals. It is not advisable to have heavy meat and meat in the evening meal.
Knowing that Yunqiao loved to eat fish, Chen Jingyan had someone prepare a braised fish. However, when Yunqiao came to the table, she saw the braised fish and not only did she not want to eat it, she also vomited and felt sick.
Frightened, Chen Jingyan immediately went to call Gu Heng.
He was really scared by Yun Qiao's ability to vomit.
Yun Qiao herself didn't expect that it was just a braised fish. She took a carriage from Guangcheng to Jiangcheng and didn't feel carsick or vomit for half a month. She only felt uncomfortable when she got up in the morning to rinse her mouth.
But I didn't expect that I would fail because of this braised fish.
