The sky became gloomy and there was some wind. Pei Yuanjun put down the letter in his hand and looked towards the door.
Ji Hai came over in a hurry and said with a smile, "Master, the princess asked you not to go there today. She will come over later, but she may be late. Would you like to have some lunch first?"
Pei Yuanjun shook his head, picked up the letter at hand again, and said lazily: "The princess cooked by herself?"
"Yes, the princess will prepare a few dishes, so it may take a while." Ji Hai smiled until his teeth were exposed. "The princess asked Yuchun to come over and tell me, Your Majesty, do you want to have some first?"
The dishes cooked by the princess tasted delicious, but she was not fast. In fact, it was a little earlier than usual for lunch, but the weather was not very good, and she was afraid that the princess might be delayed on the way here.
"Can't the king go back for dinner?"
"Princess, I will wait here. It's rare that the princess is so kind." Ji Hai said it very fluently, knowing that his master was very happy at the moment. "Master, you have been watching for a long time. Do you want to go outside for a walk? Take a rest?"
In the past, the prince would basically take a rest at this time.
Pei Yuanjun tapped the paper in his hand twice unconsciously on the table, looked outside and saw that it was about to rain, "Let's go downstairs for a walk!"
After saying that, he stood up and walked out, with Ji Hai following behind him.
Just walking around, Pei Yuanjun didn't let anyone else follow him, only Ji Hai followed behind him.
Coming out of the courtyard of the study, there is a rockery. This extremely large rockery is several times larger than the ones in the inner courtyard. It is facing the study, with gurgling water flowing above, and the stream below is connected to the lake in the mansion and is wider than ordinary streams.
The fish swimming freely at the bottom of the water spit out a few bubbles from time to time.
The weather is stuffy, and there are a lot of fish blowing bubbles today. From time to time, you can see small fish coming up to the stream to blow bubbles. The bright colors look very nice.
Pei Yuanjun did not go up the rockery either. Instead, he stood in front of the stream below the rockery, admiring the little fish in the stream.
These little fish are extremely colorful, and they are even more pleasing to the eye among the green water.
"Master... the weather is not very good... let's go back." Ji Hai looked up at the sky and felt that it was going to rain soon. He even felt a few raindrops floating on the surface. He didn't know whether it was the stream water from the rockery or real rain. He squinted his eyes and looked at the sky.
"No hurry." Pei Yuanjun curled the corners of his lips.
"Master, I'll ask someone to get an umbrella!" Ji Hai pointed his hand and called a eunuch at the side of the yard, asking him to fetch an umbrella.
Ji Hai took the umbrella and opened it. This time he could feel the rain really falling. It wasn't heavy, but it was dense. "Sir, go to the corridor and have a look. You can see clearly over there."
Pei Yuanjun sneered: "No hurry, let's wait and see."
Ji Hai didn't dare to persuade him anymore and could only stand aside with an umbrella.
The rain suddenly got heavier, accompanied by faint thunder, muffled, not too loud, but rumbling continuously, foreshadowing that even bigger thunder was brewing.
"Master..."
Pei Yuanjun turned around and went back to the corridor. Ji Hai hurriedly followed him. After taking a few steps, he suddenly heard a "click" sound. He frowned, but did not stop, still protecting Pei Yuanjun to the corridor.
After Pei Yuanjun stood still in the corridor, Ji Hai said coldly: "Come here, bring the person over."
A guard appeared quietly and brought out two
people.
The maid in front is Yuxiu, and the one behind is a Taoist nun.
Such a combination made Ji Hai stunned for a moment. He looked at the two people walking in in the rain and looked them up and down with a sullen face.
The rain was so heavy that both of their clothes were almost soaked.
Ji Hai stepped back and let the two people go into the corridor, then turned around to report: "Master, it's Yuxiu and a Taoist nun who are beside the princess."
Pei Yuanjun glanced at the two of them and said lazily, "What do you want to ask?"
"yes!"
Ji Hai took a few steps back, turned around and stood in front of the two people, "Yuxiu, what's the matter?"
“I followed the princess’ order to escort Master Ning Yin for a walk. I didn’t expect that when we got here, it suddenly started raining. I… I took Master Ning Yin to hide from the rain, but I didn’t expect to bump into Your Highness. Please forgive me, Your Highness.” Yu Xiu knelt down in panic and explained hastily.
I don’t know if it was because of the cold or fear, but I was shivering.
Ning Yin Zhenren was also trembling. Her health was not good to begin with, and now she looked even weaker. After hearing what Yu Xiu said, she bowed deeply to Pei Yuanjun and said, "I greet the prince."
Taking a deep breath, Master Ning Yin continued to speak: "I am from Qingyun Temple. Today I came to the mansion to reminisce with Princess Ying. Because I was not feeling well, Princess Ying asked me to recuperate here. I didn't expect to offend the prince. It's all my fault. Please forgive this maid."
It looked like he was trying his best to help Yuxiu explain and put the blame on herself.
It rained a while ago and wet the clothes of Master Ning Yin. His clothes were a little disheveled now, but the rain came so quickly that it could be considered an accident.
But this was an accident, but the others did not seem to be accidents.
Having seen many women's various methods in the palace, Ji Hai noticed at a glance that the Taoist nun's eyebrows were carefully drawn. She looked as if she wanted to say something but hesitated, with just the right amount of melancholy. She had a beautiful face and a graceful appearance, and the Taoist robe on her body made her look very extraordinary.
The slightly furrowed brows, the sickly face, the pretty facial features, and the disheveled condition on a rainy day, all look familiar. Even though the person in front of them is not the same person as before, this appearance inexplicably brings back memories. The Miss Tong in the memories seemed to have done something similar.
Beautiful and charming, very pitiful.
This was the conclusion Ji Hai came to. Although her robe was in disarray, the disarray and raindrops made her figure more graceful. Even the bun on her head revealed an indescribable laziness.
Everything indicates that this Taoist nun who seems to be pure and elegant is actually not doing anything pure and elegant.
Ji Hai sneered in his heart, this Taoist nun actually came to seduce me, I don't know what kind of courage she has.
"If you have nothing else to do, please leave!" Pei Yuanjun just glanced at Master Ning Yin and said, then turned around and was about to leave.
If such a good opportunity really slipped away, Master Ning Yin felt that he would never have another chance in the future. "My Lord, please forgive Yu Xiu. If someone must take responsibility for this matter, then... let me take responsibility."
Master Ning Yin said anxiously.
Such a beautiful woman, as gentle as water, with a kind heart, is willing to take on things for a maid, which shows her true kindness. In this situation, which man would be so heartless
Sure enough, Pei Yuanjun stopped.
Master Ning Yin was delighted and took two steps forward unconsciously: "Your Majesty, please listen to me..."
"Throw the man out and let him sober up." Pei Yuanjun said, and waved his hand very gracefully.
The guard came over and threw Master Ning Yin into the stream before she could come to her senses. The stream was not deep and the fish in it were frightened and fled in all directions.
"Are you awake now?" Ji Hai laughed strangely and followed Pei Yuanjun away.
Master Ning Yin didn't know how he got back, and he returned to the guest house all wet.
Fortunately, because she "suddenly" stayed, she asked the nun who accompanied her to go back to Qingyun Temple to get clothes. After changing clothes with Yuxiu's help, Zhenren Ningyin had not recovered yet and looked dazed.
“Real person…” Yuxiu saw her like this and was about to comfort her, but she saw her eyes roll back and she fell onto the bed, already dying.
"Someone come, someone come quickly." Yuxiu shouted, turned around and ran outside to ask someone to find a doctor.
The doctor from the mansion was invited to come over and take Ning Yin's pulse, then prescribe new medicine, which was a bit stronger than before. As for her sudden fainting, it was because of shame and anger. In addition, she was sick and weak, so she couldn't bear it for a while. She must take good care of herself from now on, and nothing can go wrong.
Adding illness to illness is the easiest way to get into trouble.
The little maid took the doctor downstairs to write a prescription. Yuxiu tucked the corner of the quilt for Master Ning Yin with red eyes. Just as she was about to leave, Master Ning Yin grabbed her hand.
“Master, it’s… it’s me who has caused you trouble.” Looking at Master Ning Yin with snow-white lips lying on the bed, Yu Xiu’s tears suddenly fell.
"It's not your fault, it's my fault... I'm going back to the temple." Master Ning Yin said in a hoarse voice, and after a while, the voice was so hoarse that it was almost inaudible.
"Master, how can you walk in this condition?" Yu Xiu stopped him.
"After what has happened to me, how can I have the face to stay here? You go and report to the Queen of England and tell her that I will be able to rest after I recover and will be fine." said Master Ning Yin.
When I closed my eyes just now, I felt groggy and my body was alternating between hot and cold. My previous weakness was somewhat pretended, but now I was truly out of strength. I knew that staying any longer would not help, so I had to go back and discuss with the abbot why things had turned out like this.
Shouldn't the King of England have felt pity for her when he saw her like this? How could he... let the guards throw him into the pool
Master Ning Yin is now at a loss and just wants to return to the temple as soon as possible.
Yuxiu tried to persuade her a few more times, but seeing that she was determined to do so, she could only go back and report to Qu Moying. She then asked someone to prepare a car to send Master Ning Yin back to Qingyun Temple.
Seeing her come back so quickly, the Qingyun Monastery Master was also very surprised. After sending away the accompanying maid, the Qingyun Monastery Master frowned and said, "What's going on? She came back just after she went there. Could it be that... she's done?"
"Master..." After all, Master Ning Yin was not very old. She had been in Qingyun Temple for so many years. She seemed to be just a nun, but she usually lived in seclusion, cultivated her character, and learned the art of talent and romance. She had a high opinion of herself. Even ordinary young ladies from aristocratic families were just like this in her eyes. How could she withstand this? There were no outsiders around at the moment, and she couldn't help but cry for a while.
After just two words, he was filled with shame and anger, his eyes rolled back, his legs went limp, and he fainted immediately...
