At night, Prince Ning's Mansion.
"My lord, all the people in Huangyu Pavilion have withdrawn. They seem to have given up on searching for the God's Token." After Huang Yan found out the news, he came to report to Chu Li immediately.
Chu Li was startled for a moment, then his obviously tense face eased a lot, a slight arc was drawn between his lips, and he nodded slightly.
Seeing this, Huang Yan touched his chin, "Tsk, what's your expression?"
Ding Xian stood aside, rubbing his chin like Huang Yan, "This expression is saying that my wife is really good..."
"I see." Huang Yan understood and nodded exaggeratedly.
Seeing the two singing together, Chu Li didn't bother to pay attention, looked at the time, got up and walked outside.
"Where are you going, sir?"
"Stupid, I was going to see our princess..."
…
"Huh, finally finished copying!" Mu Yunjin put down the brush in her hand, lowered her head and blew on the ink that was not yet dry, and then put away the scriptures happily.
The efficiency is not bad, it only took a few days to complete the copying, and the following days should be more comfortable.
After putting the scriptures in the small room, Mu Yunjin sat by the bed, waiting for Chu Li's arrival.
After a while, familiar footsteps came.
When Chu Li walked into the small room, he saw Mu Yunjin's eyes shining brightly, her lips stained with a smile, and she winked at him, "His Royal Highness King Ning is quite trustworthy."
Hearing her teasing voice, Chu Li leaned over and approached her, "My concubine is here, how dare you be late."
Mu Yunjin smiled and thumped Chu Li's chest.
Seeing that she was in a good mood, Chu Li couldn't help getting closer to her, and lowered his head to hold her lips, but Mu Yunjin dodged back and put his hand on his lips.
"Goddess Guanyin is still outside!" Mu Yunjin pointed to the outside and smiled.
Chu Li lowered his eyes slightly, showing a trace of grievance, "Do you have the heart to see this king suffer so much?"
"Huh?" Mu Yunjin heard a hint of coquettishness from Chu Li's words, and then deliberately broke off her fingers, "There is no way, who made me grounded here and punished, the important place of Buddhism, we have to do it anyway. Follow the rules, right?"
Seeing that she still looked heartless, Chu Li felt depressed, "Sleep."
"Yeah." Mu Yunjin sat on the edge of the bed, lying on her side with her head supported on her hands, "My scriptures have already been copied, so you don't have to work so hard tonight."
Chu Li thought of her so-called three hundred times and smiled faintly.
The bed was very small, and Mu Yunjin and Chu Li were lying sideways facing each other. Today, Mu Yunjin didn't feel sleepy, and kept staring at Chu Li in front of her.
Chu Li also looked at her, his eyes met, full of tenderness.
"By the way, the people from the Three Kingdoms should have returned to their country, right?" Mu Yunjin suddenly remembered.
Chu Li nodded.
"Then..." Mu Yunjin wanted to ask about Jiang Qingxue, but she opened her mouth, but she still didn't ask, then she pursed her lips and smiled, "What about Chu Ye's ruined canonization ceremony?"
"We'll do it another day." Chu Li raised his eyebrows slightly.
Mu Yunjin couldn't help laughing, "I'm really sorry for him."
Chu Li smiled lowly.
After a pause, Chu Li said warmly, "It's getting late, you should go to bed."
"Yeah." Mu Yunjin nodded, lowering her eyes slightly, thinking about telling Chu Li about Chu Qing and Rong Min before going to bed, but thinking that Chu Li should have received the news already, so it's better not to waste it.
After Mu Yunjin fell asleep, Chu Li got up from the bed and gave her the place to sleep, while he sat on the chair beside him, staring at her extremely peaceful sleeping face.
…
When Mu Yunjin woke up, she was the only one left in the small room.
Chu Li didn't know when to leave again, Mu Yunjin sat up from the bed, got dressed, and walked outside the door.
"Eh..." As soon as she went out, seeing Chu Li sitting at her desk, Mu Yunjin was slightly taken aback.
Chu Li smiled and looked at her, "Go wash up."
Mu Yunjin nodded dully, and flew out of An Xin Tang, towards the creek.
When she returned to Anxin Hall, Mu Yunjin saw several meals on the desk, including a bowl of chicken soup...
Mu Yunjin stretched out her hands to cover her cheeks, looked at the Avalokitesvara again, then at Chu Li, and took a long breath, "Sin, sin..."
"Come here quickly." Chu Li looked helplessly at her stupid look, pulled her to sit down, and pushed the chicken soup in front of her.
Originally, Mu Yunjin wanted to hold back from drinking, but after smelling the aroma of chicken soup, she pursed her lips and reached out to pick up the spoon, "By the way, where did you get it?"
No one in Shuiyun Temple would dare to make chicken soup...
"Ding Xian sent it." Chu Li replied lightly.
Hearing this, Mu Yunjin understood, bowed to the Guanyin statue again, then raised her eyebrows and smiled, and drank the chicken soup happily.
After eating a bowl of chicken soup and a bowl of red bean porridge, Mu Yunjin suddenly remembered something again, and looked at Chu Li, "Don't you need to go to court early?"
This hour should be almost past in the early morning...
Chu Li shook his head, "I don't need it recently."
"Why?" Mu Yunjin was puzzled, it stands to reason that Emperor Ximing would not dismiss the early court, could it be...
"Are you punished too?"
Chu Li tapped her on the forehead, "This king claims to be sick, so I won't go to court early."
"So that's how it is." Mu Yunjin inexplicably relaxed her heart, raised the corners of her lips, and was in a good mood.
…
Chu Li left not long after Mu Yunjin had finished her breakfast, and Mu Yunjin was left alone, plus she didn't have to copy scriptures today, so she was very leisurely.
Mu Yunjin wandered around for a while, and unknowingly walked into the lobby where people offered tribute incense. At the entrance of the lobby, there were people coming and going, and it was very lively.
Mu Yunjin paused for a while, and when she was about to turn around and leave, three women that she could recognize even in ashes came out of the lobby.
Qin Muyue, Princess Rong, Mu Lingzhu...
The three of them also saw Mu Yunjin, and all of them looked at Mu Yunjin harmlessly, nodding and smiling.
Seeing this, Mu Yunjin sighed in her heart, Mu Lingzhu, that brainless person, chose to go back and join Princess Rong...
Whatever, she can do whatever she likes.
In the end, Mu Lingzhu took a step forward and bowed to Mu Yunjin, "Meet Princess Jinhua."
When Mu Yunjin heard the words Princess Jinhua, she felt a chill in her heart. She twitched the corner of her mouth and looked at Mu Lingzhu coldly, "Isn't Concubine Mu Chou not beaten this time?"
"Little niece, you are joking. The Lingzhu has entered the gate of our Prince Rong's mansion, so we will take good care of it." Princess Rong and Qin Muyue approached arm in arm.
Mu Yunjin sneered and ignored the three women.
"Sister-in-law Yunjin, what are you doing here if you're not copying scriptures in Anxin Hall?" Qin Muyue smiled and looked at Mu Yunjin with warmth.
Mu Yunjin folded her arms, and also responded with a sweet smile, "Don't worry about me."
"Sister Muyue was just asking out of kindness, Princess Jinhua, why do you have a thorn in your words?" Mu Lingzhu smiled lightly, and Princess Jinhua kept calling out, as if reminding Mu Yunjin of harming the Mu family all the time.
Mu Yunjin raised her eyebrows, what a sister Mu Yue, this Mu Lingzhu has a really big heart.
"Okay, don't say a few words, today we are here to burn incense and worship Buddha, not to argue." Princess Rong said, and glanced at Qin Muyue and Mu Lingzhu.
Then he took a step forward and got closer to Mu Yunjin, "Little nephew, when your uncle Wang came back from the palace this morning, he told me that the saintess of Nanting Kingdom gave birth to an heir privately because of her uncleanness, and she was thrown away. Nan Tingguo's face."
"Now, the monarch of Nanting Kingdom has decreed that Jiang Qingxue, the saint of Nanting Kingdom, will be beheaded for public display in five days, and her head will be hung on the city wall for seven days as a warning to future generations."
"Little niece, your life is really good. The monarch of Nanting Kingdom is avenging you. Besides, this matter is an internal matter of Nanting Kingdom, and even the monarch of Beiming Kingdom can't interfere..."
After Princess Rong finished speaking to Mu Yunjin in a low voice, she put on a show, Qin Muyue and Mu Lingzhu supported her on the left and right, and the three of them left slowly.
After walking far away, Qin Muyue snorted, "She is currently under confinement, if she can't let go of Jiang Qingxue and goes to Nanting Kingdom, it will be an extra crime."
"What's more, I went to Nanting Kingdom, and I will not let her come back!"
Mu Yunjin stood on the spot, watching the backs of the three walking away, clenched her fingers slightly, and then loosened them slightly.
Pursing her lips, Mu Yunjin thought to herself, let's behead her, it has nothing to do with her anyway.
Even though she thought so, on the way back, Mu Yunjin was restless all the way, beheading her head for public display, hanging her head on the city wall, such a cruel way...
When Master Huaiyuan walked towards him, he saw Mu Yunjin with her eyes downcast, looking devastated.
"What's wrong with Concubine Ning?" Before Chu Li left, he told her to entertain her well.
Mu Yunjin heard the voice of Master Huaiyuan, raised her eyes, and sighed slightly, "It's nothing, I met some annoying people."
Master Huaiyuan heard it and immediately understood, "Princess Ning doesn't have to take it to heart."
"Master, do you know the Saintess of Nanting Kingdom?" Mu Yunjin asked suddenly, inexplicably, she never felt that there was some kind of connection between these people of the previous generation.
Master Huaiyuan nodded, "I have heard of this person's name."
"Just heard about it? Haven't met face-to-face?" Mu Yunjin raised her eyebrows, obviously in disbelief.
"What does Princess Ning want to say?" Seeing that there was something in her words, Master Huaiyuan sighed and stared at her.
Mu Yunjin was a little tired, looked around, found a railing and sat down, "I heard that she is going to be beheaded for public display..."
"Everyone has his own destiny, Princess Ning don't need to be too sad." Master Huaiyuan said.
"I don't know if she will regret giving birth to me after hearing the news that she is going to be beheaded..." Mu Yunjin's brows were a little thoughtful.
Master Huaiyuan smiled, "Parents love their children, and Su Biqing was able to accept the punishment of beheading for Mu Lingzhu. Do you think your mother will regret it?"
Mu Yunjin shook her head, "I don't know..."
"When you become a mother, you will understand these truths." Master Huaiyuan patted Mu Yunjin's shoulder, and his eyes went to a certain place, sighing slightly, "A distinguished guest has come."
After speaking, Master Huaiyuan left straight away.
Mu Yunjin heard the word "guest", looked around, and when she saw the person, she opened her eyes in surprise, "Brother!"
It was Mu Yunhan who came.
After Mu Yunhan heard Mu Yunjin's voice, he quickly walked in front of her, with anxiety in his eyes, "Yunjin, you must go to Nanting Kingdom with me!"
