Linglong packed her things.
Mu Chenshuang left Qiye and Honghua in the manor, gave them a few instructions, and then left the manor with Linglong.
Linglong sat to one side, watching her mistress close her eyes to rest, but her complexion never improved. She wondered what had happened last night.
They arrived outside the city.
"Miss, shall we stop here?" Linglong asked.
Mu Chenshuang slowly opened her eyes, lifted the curtain and glanced out the window. The sun was shining brightly today, wildflowers were blooming along the roadside, clusters of flowers, a riot of color. In the distance, a clear river flowed, accompanied by the tinkling sound of water. A gentle breeze swept by, dispelling her troubled thoughts and making her feel much more relaxed.
"Let's do it here!"
Linglong helped Mu Chenshuang down from the carriage and walked towards the river. The surrounding trees were lush and green, and the mountain peaks could be seen in the distance. Birds were chirping, making it a place full of spiritual energy.
Having not been out for a long time, today is a good opportunity to replenish Sui Sui's spiritual energy.
"Let's go up the mountain and take a look."
Mu Chenshuang said.
Linglong said worriedly, "But Miss, you are pregnant and should not overexert yourself."
"You need to move around a lot during pregnancy, let's go!"
"Then I'll go get some dry food first, in case Miss gets hungry on the way."
Go!
Linglong walked to the carriage, told the guards to wait there, then got into the carriage, took some dry rations, and quickly walked towards the riverbank.
After crossing the bridge, the two headed towards the mountain path.
The steps leading up the mountain were exceptionally smooth. There were farmers going up the mountain to chop firewood, as well as young women carrying incense and candles. After inquiring, I learned that there was a Guanyin Temple for granting children halfway up the mountain, and the women were all there to pray for children.
When we reached the middle of the mountain, we saw a temple. Although the temple was not large, its incense was still burning brightly.
"Miss, shall we go in?" Linglong asked.
Mu Chenshuang withdrew her gaze. "The Buddha sees my heart. Since we're here, let's go in and pay our respects!"
Linglong responded with an "oh," saying that it was understandable for the young lady to go in and pray since she was pregnant, and that she could ask the goddess to bless the child so that it could be born safely. She could sense that the young lady cared a lot about the child in her womb.
The child is innocent, of course; it's that scoundrel who got the lady pregnant who is truly despicable.
When Mu Chenshuang arrived at the main hall, she knelt down devoutly, closed her eyes, and silently prayed.
After the prayers were completed.
Mu Chenshuang put a silver ingot into the donation box.
Linglong then helped her up, and just as the two turned to leave, a voice suddenly called out from behind: "Please wait, benefactor."
Mu Chenshuang turned around and saw a nun who looked to be over fifty years old walking towards the two of them.
Mu Chenshuang nodded politely and asked, "What is it, Master?"
The nun placed one hand in front of her chest, nodded slightly, and then said, "I see that you have a rosy complexion and a pregnant breath. I suppose you have achieved your wish and the fetus has entered your body."
Mu Chenshuang was slightly surprised by the nun's words, but as someone with profound Buddhist knowledge, it wasn't surprising. "Then may I ask what instruction you have, Master?"
The nun slowly spoke, "Your face is extraordinary, your eyes are bright and intelligent, and your demeanor is dignified. You are truly an exceptional person."
As the nun spoke, her expression darkened, and she continued, "I would like to advise you, benefactor, that great joy and sorrow should pass by, and that you should forget the past even when you are covered in thorns. Only wait to rule the world and for the phoenix's aura to enter your body."
The words were spoken.
Mu Chenshuang was startled, her brows furrowing. "What do you mean by that, Master?"
"That's all I have to say. I wish you all your wishes come true."
Mu Chenshuang did not press further, but nodded slightly and said gratefully, "Thank you, Master."
Then.
Linglong helped Mu Chenshuang down the steps and left the temple.
The nun watched Mu Chenshuang's departing figure. The aura emanating from her was too powerful, so powerful that it could even shake the fate of the entire dynasty. The appearance of such a woman in the capital would surely cause a great upheaval.
At this moment, a nun came out from the inner hall and saw the nun's solemn expression. She stepped forward in confusion and asked, "Nun, what's wrong?"
The nun gazed at the azure sky and said, "The sky is filled with wind and clouds!"
The nun glanced at the sky, her eyes full of doubt; the weather was quite nice today.
