At this point, Lin Yan was completely unsettled.
What a coincidence!
Not only were they all monks, but the master whom Grandpa invited had the Dharma name Guanyun, while the temple that Madam Xie went to was called Yunding.
They all contain the character for "cloud"...
Moreover, the names Yunding and Guanyun sound like they are inextricably linked.
She was poisoned by the monks of the Cloud Top Temple and fell into a deep sleep, but Master Guanyun from another world calculated her fate...
It wasn't that Lin Yan looked down on people, but given Madam Xie's courage, she really wouldn't dare to poison her.
After all, she values her family's reputation so much.
They would not allow themselves to become a stain on their family.
If the poisoning of her daughter-in-law is exposed, not only will she go to jail, but it will also have a significant impact on her children and grandchildren.
Especially when it comes to marriage.
Lin Yan was confused. She didn't know any monks here, so why would a monk go to such lengths to take her life?
Although she knew Xie Muqing was always meticulous, she still couldn't help but remind him, just in case he accidentally forgot.
"Has anyone been sent to look for that monk?"
"Upon learning of this, I sent people to the temple to search for the monk's whereabouts. However, the monks there all said that he had gone on a pilgrimage. Fortunately, it has been snowing heavily these past few days, so even if he wanted to travel far, he wouldn't be able to. I have already sent people to conduct a thorough search."
Genting Temple is right in town, a round trip takes only a quarter of an hour.
Therefore, Xie Muqing already knew that the monk was not in the temple, and sent more people to search along the way.
In fact, Lin Yan had long expected that the monk might have already left, but she still had a sliver of hope.
"He must have left not long ago; he won't stop until he's sure I'm really poisoned. But I've never met any monks before, so why would anyone want to kill me?"
Xie Muqing spent the entire afternoon thinking about this question.
According to the investigation conducted by the people he sent out, Chunfeng was a genuine high monk of Yunding Temple, not a charlatan who swindled people.
However, he had gone traveling several years ago and only returned a few months ago.
This is what Xie Muqing just can't understand.
Why would a high-ranking monk go to such lengths, even resorting to using his mother to poison Lin Yan?
Moreover, this poison is unique to the palace, even if Chunfeng is related to a certain prince.
They should have poisoned him...
Although Xie Muqing was deeply worried, he didn't want Lin Yan to overthink things, so he gently comforted her:
"My lady, don't worry. Among the people we sent out are several scouts. They will definitely be able to find his trail, and then everything will become clear."
She had thought her medical skills were excellent enough, but it turned out she had been overthinking things. Thinking about how she had almost met her maker, Lin Yan couldn't help but sigh deeply.
"I hope so, otherwise I can't rest easy without knowing who's behind this. Especially since this poison is so vicious, I didn't even detect it. Luckily, Shangguan Yun gave me the secret medicine, otherwise I would really be dead!"
Lin Yan truly never expected that Shangguan Yun would give her such a precious family secret medicine.
The novel mentions that the Shangguan family's secret medicine is made from various extremely rare medicinal materials, making it very, very precious.
Even Shangguan Yun, the female lead, only has two!
Later in the novel, the male protagonist, Xiao Jue, is poisoned and vomits blood incessantly.
He was on the verge of death when the female lead used this secret medicine to pull him back from the brink.
But Shangguan Yun was willing to give this life-saving item to someone she had only met a few times...
At this moment, Lin Yan's heart was burning hot.
It was only then that she realized that Shangguan Yun was a living, breathing person.
She's not the kind of supporting female lead in a novel who can only be a foil to the male lead, a Mary Sue character.
She is an individual; she has her own personality and her own noble and excellent virtues...
She is not anyone's accessory.
Lin Yan suddenly really liked this world!
She also thanked the author for creating such a group of people and this world, allowing her to experience family and friendship in this world.
Perhaps even love...
Thinking of this, Lin Yan couldn't help but look at the boy beside her.
Xie Muqing's gaze remained fixed on her. Seeing her look over, he immediately made a vow:
"If my wife dies, I will never live on alone!"
Lin Yan was stunned. She stared at him in disbelief for a moment before hesitantly asking:
"You mean...you're going to be buried with me?"
"Um!"
Xie Muqing wasn't just saying sweet words to please Lin Yan; he genuinely meant it.
In his heart, since Lin Yan had saved him from the clutches of death, his life belonged to her!
If she dies of old age, he will be at peace to be buried with her; if she is murdered, he will avenge her and then follow her in death...
Lin Yan remained silent, staring into Xie Muqing's eyes, deeply moved by the farewell in his gaze.
Although she always knew that men's vows of eternal love were completely unreliable.
But at this moment, she couldn't help but believe that, at least for this moment, the boy's vow was sincere.
The atmosphere inside the room gradually became ambiguous.
Xie Muqing gripped Lin Yan's hands tightly, his deep, affectionate eyes staring straight into hers, and his throat bobbed involuntarily.
Lin Yan then noticed that Xie Muqing had a small mole on his Adam's apple.
As her Adam's apple bobbed, the small mole became more prominent and alluring against her fair, protruding Adam's apple.
Even though she hadn't drunk any alcohol, she felt as if she were drunk, her whole body was dizzy.
Unconsciously, Lin Yan slowly moved closer to that small mole, pressed her soft lips to it, and gently licked it...
In that very instant.
Xie Muqing's mind went completely blank!
He couldn't believe that Lin Yan, who was always aloof, would actually kiss him first!
By the time he realized what was happening, he had already pinned Lin Yan down.
At this moment, Xie Muqing's eyes were filled with a frenzied lust.
Worried about frightening the woman beneath him, he breathed heavily, suppressing the intense desire within him.
Seeing that Lin Yan showed no disgust whatsoever, but instead looked at him with a smile, Xie Muqing's courage gradually grew.
He slowly leaned down and kissed those lips he had longed for.
Feeling that the woman beneath him did not resist his touch, he tentatively extended his tongue and gently pried open her teeth...
Lin Yan had no idea that a simple kiss would make her body tremble and her legs go weak.
She gradually became immersed in the tingling sensation Xie Muqing brought her.
But gradually...
She discovered a problem...
After the kiss ended, Lin Yan leaned breathlessly against Xie Muqing's chest.
Because she had something on her mind, once she regained her breath, she raised her head and stared directly at Xie Muqing, questioning him in an unfriendly tone:
"You've had women before?!"
