The Empress Dowager devotes herself to worshiping the Buddha, and every important Buddhist festival, Zhu Yi will always go to the royal temple to worship and pray for the Empress Dowager. She has long been familiar with the meaning of several Buddhist scriptures, and she can also discuss one or two with the wise Zen Master Dingxu . Therefore, the queen took Zhu Yi to the temple alone, which was not out of the ordinary.
The ups and downs of the soft sedan are just like Zhu Yi's mood at the moment. She poked her head out from time to time to see that Mianfeng and Genglu were still following behind.
Dajue Temple is located on the outskirts of Sangyang City, and it is usually full of incense, but because of the Queen's arrival, the temple was closed on the first day, so as not to blame the nobles and masters for being disturbed.
As soon as the queen entered the temple, she went alone with the abbot, while Zhu Yi was led to a guest room to copy the auspicious scriptures. In the past, she also had to copy when entering the imperial temple, so she didn't think much about it.
Zhu Yi wrote for a while, then suddenly said: "Mianfeng, I think the incense burning here is not quite right."
"Is there?" Mianfeng and Genglu both sniffed.
"Yes, go and pinch off the incense." Zhu Yi has always been sensitive to smells, and said again: "Let's stop copying, let's go out for a walk." Zhu Yi thought clearly, if the queen asked, she would be punished for being lazy. It's better to be punished than to be incapacitated and something happened.
Unexpectedly, when he reached the door, he was stopped by two guards. The guards lowered their heads, their tone was respectful, but their words were not pleasant: "Princess, my empress said, only after you have written the auspicious letter can you leave the room."
Zhu Yi didn't move or speak, and the two guards couldn't help but looked up at her.
Only now did Zhu Yi show a smile, like a jasmine flower shining on the water, and a bright moon rising from the clouds. The two men were taken aback when she saw it, and she said embarrassedly: "But, I drank a lot of water earlier."
People have three urgencies, even if it is a princess like a fairy daughter, the two guards understood, they looked at each other, and one of them said: "Princess, please come with me."
Going out and turning a corner, there were also two guards standing at the door of the first wing room, and there was a very low male voice coming from inside. Zhu Yi listened carefully, as if his mouth was gagged by something.
Zhu Yi's face turned pale in an instant, there were no other people waiting in the temple, the queen's guards would not guard a man for no reason, and put them next to her. She didn't expect the queen to be so intentional. She thought that the queen would at most punish her to kneel and chant Buddha for a whole day.
Zhu Yi knew that the queen had made such an arrangement, and she must have thought of a way to evade it. She thought, the queen must have known that she was approaching Xie Ying again. It seems that the empress probably wanted Xie Ying to marry Zhu Dai, so that they could get closer.
There are Yiyi bamboo shadows everywhere in the temple, clear springs wash stones, Zhu Yi picked up a handful of clear water and poured it on his face to make himself more awake. She found that the incense was really powerful, and she felt that it was fast enough, but she still felt that her limbs were getting weak.
Zhu Yi whispered a few words to Mianfeng and the two, then turned back. She had to take the initiative, otherwise, when she had no strength at all, she could only let the man next door do whatever she wanted.
When Zhu Yi went out this time, the door was deliberately opened, and there was almost no strange smell after returning to the room.
"Mianfeng, what's wrong with you?" "Geng Lu, Geng Lu!" Zhu Yi's panicked voice suddenly sounded.
The two guards immediately turned to look at her. Seeing Zhu Yi's two maids, one leaning by the table and the other lying on the ground, Zhu Yi also sat on the couch with her forehead stroked, and the look of innocent panting made the two guards feel sorry .
With half-closed eyes, Zhu Yi saw a man kicking in from the door, and then the door snapped shut and locked from the outside.
The man's nose was blue and his face was swollen, but Zhu Yi recognized him immediately. He was the apprentice he met in Yuzhizhou last night. It was only because she was really impressed by those eyes reddened by lust at that time, and because of her identity, it was the first time for her to see such disgusting and fearful eyes from a man.
Wan Hai was swearing at her mother, but when she saw Zhu Yi, she was stunned: "Beauty, am I dreaming? I saw you again? Haha, all the sufferings I suffered yesterday and today are worth it!" Then Wan Hai completely forgot to pursue the truth. Where is this place and why is he here? It's all about dying under the peony flowers, and being a ghost is also romantic.
Zhu Yi smiled softly: "You are not dreaming, I did meet the young master again."
Wan Hai swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and rushed to the side of the couch, clasped Zhu Yi's shoulder with one hand, and wrapped Zhu Yi's hand with the other.
Zhu Yi flinched, but let him hold his hand without struggling. Wan Hai was ecstatic, and began to stroke the back of Zhu Yi's silky hand.
Zhu Yi tried his best to restrain the desire to vomit, and asked shyly, "Since you have appeared in Yuzhizhou, you must have some money at home, right?"
Wan Hai hurriedly said: "Yes, yes! Beauty, you can follow me at ease, Quan Sangyang is the one with the most money in my family."
Zhu Yi showed a joyful smile: "Then... if I follow you, can you marry me as your regular wife?"
Wan Hai frowned and thought for a while: "Yes! I have long wanted to divorce the tigress at home." As long as the beauty in front of him is willing to be with him, he will agree to anything.
Zhu Yi's smile deepened: "Actually, son, you are also a good-looking talent... They actually beat you up like this, and it hurts me to see it."
Zhu Yi's fingertips trembled, she raised her hand to lightly touch Wan Hai's forehead, enduring the disgusting sticky feeling, and touched his eyelids again. She took the initiative to get closer: "Close your eyes."
Zhu Yi's breath made Wan Hai's soul almost go out of his body, he closed his eyes in enjoyment, and waited for the beauty to offer a kiss, but suddenly he trembled heavily and froze in place.
Zhu Yi looked at Mianfeng behind Wan Hai. Mianfeng put down the copper bowl in his hand, came to Zhu Yi and said heartbroken, "I have wronged the princess." Zhu Yi shook his head.
However, just as the master and servant were happy for the success of the plan, Wan Hai jumped up furiously and pinched Mianfeng's neck. Wan Hai was not knocked out as they wished, because Mianfeng was using too little force at the moment.
Mianfeng was immediately pinched so that the whites of his eyes rolled out, and his face was disfigured in pain. Zhu Yi no longer maintained his previous composure, and pulled Wan Hai's arm forcefully: "Let her go! Let her go!"
After being tugged twice by Zhu Yi, Wan Hai let go of Mian Feng, turned around and hugged Zhu Yi tightly: "So the beauty lied to me? Huh?"
Before his plump body had time to press Zhu Yi onto the couch, Wan Hai had already let out a sharp howl. He didn't know what tricks the visitor had used. His neck could no longer move, and his arms were folded into unbelievable angles. , was broken abruptly with a terrifying sound, Wan Hai rolled his eyes and was thrown aside.
Zhu Yi was frightened by Wan Hai's stern expression, but the man who appeared in front of her still felt puzzled and asked someone to drag Wan Hai out, not knowing what else to do.
Zhu Yi didn't expect Xie Ying to come, she was stunned for a while, but she soon felt an unspeakable joy in her heart, and even forgot the fear of Wan Hai. She raised the corner of her mouth and said, "My lord."
Seeing Xie Ying's ugly face, Zhu Yiluo thought about it, and comforted him instead: "I'm fine." In fact, she should be dissatisfied with Xie Ying because of the queen's relationship, but for some reason, she didn't feel it in her heart. He was just purely down-to-earth and happy.
Seeing that Xie Ying still didn't speak, it was rare for Zhu Yi to take the initiative to approach him: "Xie Ying, my body is very soft and I have no strength."
If Zhu Yi had said such things to Xie Ying before, it would inevitably have caused misunderstandings and teasing, and he would have taken advantage of him severely. But at this moment, Xie Ying was obviously not in the mood to make fun.
"Wen Yan." After Xie Ying finished speaking, a woman in blue came in and handed Xie Ying a porcelain bottle. He took the medicine for Zhu Yi's master and servant to take, and then said, "I'll take you back to the palace."
Zhu Yi wanted to leave, but... She looked at Xie Ying: "The queen brought me out, can I go?" Zhu Yi understood that the queen was Xie Ying's biological aunt after all, and he would not easily treat his relationship with the queen Disregarding family affection, disregarding the interests of the Xie family. So can't help but confirm.
Xie Ying looked at Zhu Yi and said, "Of course."
The queen in the meditation room on the other side also put down the teacup at this time, and said to herself: "This palace should go and see how the princess's auspicious book is written."
She just stood up, and a pink figure came lightly like a butterfly: "Mother! I just stayed asleep for a while, why did you leave the palace without bringing your daughter with you?"
The queen was a little surprised when she saw Zhu Dai: "Did you leave the palace with your father's permission?" The princes have badges and can enter and leave the palace freely, but concubines and princesses are not allowed, they have to report to the emperor in advance.
"First go ahead and report later, anyway, it can be said that my mother brought me out." Zhu Dai smiled coquettishly: "By the way, my cousin escorted me here."
The queen was stunned, suppressing the anger surging in her heart, and said: "Did you go to find A Ying, or did he come to you on his own initiative?"
"I was looking for my cousin, but without further ado, my cousin agreed to send me to find my mother." Zhu Dai's voice was as sweet as honey.
The queen asked in a deep voice: "Then where is your cousin? Knowing that my aunt is here, if you don't come to see me first, where did you go first?"
Zhu Dai was stunned for a moment. In fact, she never saw Xie Ying when she got into the carriage, but only saw Shen Xingliu who was beside Xie Ying.
The queen sneered: "I know where your cousin is. Let's go, if he doesn't come to me, I will go to him."
Seeing the empty guest room and the guards lying at the door, Zhu Dai was surprised and said, "What happened to these guards? Queen Mother, didn't you say we were looking for my cousin? Why is my cousin here?"
The queen clenched her fingers, and smiled angrily: "Everyone is fine."
Zhu Dai didn't understand, and asked, "What is the empress talking about?"
The queen didn't answer, but only said two words: "Go back to the palace."
