Chaos on the temples: You can't escape if you provoke treacherous ministers

Chapter 512

On the way, the two told each other how they knew the whereabouts of the maid.

Yan Mu knew about it by accident, but Liu Yunxiang got the news from the queen.

"I also asked the queen, she has a very bad attitude, and there is absolutely no possibility of helping me." Yan Mu said, looking at Liu Yunxiang, "But how can she help you?"

Liu Yunxiang smiled, "Because I'm amazing!"

"You are really good."

"Come here, I'll tell you." Liu Yunxiang hooked Yan Mu.

Yan Mu hugged his shoulders and didn't move, with a look of 'love to talk but not talk'.

Liu Yunxiang pursed his lips, sat next to him, leaned on his shoulder, and told Yan Mu about recommending the third prince to the emperor to pick up the food.

"Oh, no wonder the queen is willing to help you."

Because Liu Yunxiang did her a great favor, of course she also had her own purpose in doing so.

"To deal with Qin Feishi and Yan Mu, we can't just contribute, the queen can also contribute. It's just that I have to guide her and let her know who the enemy is."

"The kindness on the surface is actually to let her work for herself. You are really scheming."

"Not as good as you."

"how do I?"

Yan Mu raised his eyebrows, "What's wrong with me?"

Liu Yunxiang snorted, "I use others the most, but you can use yourself."

"What do you mean?"

"When you recover your memory, you will understand."

When they came to Ziyun Nunnery, they asked a bhikkhuni to lead the way, and led them into the Buddhist hall where the Empress Dowager's spiritual seat was enshrined.Just went in, but found no one inside.

"Hey, the ever-burning light is still off?"

The bhikkhuni looked around, but did not see anyone.

"Usually at this time, she has already chanted sutras here."

Liu Yunxiang took a look around, not only the eternal lamp was turned off, but also the Buddhist incense in the censer was burned out, "Where does she live?"

The bhikkhuni hurriedly led them to the west, "She lives in the meditation room next to the Buddhist hall."

When I came to the meditation room, the door was locked from the inside. The bhikkhuni knocked a few times, but no one answered.

Yan Mu asked the bhikkhuni to step aside, he kicked the door open, and then saw the maid hanging from the beam facing the door.Everyone was taken aback, Yan Mu rushed in with the officials and put the maid down, but the body was stiff, she should have died last night.

"Amitabha! Amitabha!" The bhikkhuni kept chanting.

Liu Yunxiang took a long breath, turned around and asked, "Did anyone come to look for her in the past two days?"

The bhikkhuni thought for a while, shook his head and said, "No."

"Then she has been out of the mountain gate?"

"Have!"

"When?"

"Yesterday morning!"

At this time Yan Mu also came over, "There are no other injuries on the body, it should be suicide."

Liu Yunxiang thought for a while, and said: "The queen asked the following, saying that she has to go back to the palace every month to collect the monthly money. This month, she was two days late, and it happened that Zhou Lihuai gave ginseng pills to the people of the Marquis of Wuchang. It's day. Another thing, the queen once sent a maid beside her to the nunnery to burn paper money for the queen mother for her. The maid went to Feiyue's room when she was taking a nap at noon, and found a 100 tael silver note under her pillow. "

Yan Mu changed his mind, "Someone give it to her, let her replace the bottle of ginseng pills."

"It's possible."

Yan Mu asked people to search the house, but after searching all over, they couldn't find any banknotes, not even a single piece of silver.

No more clues were found at the moment, so Yan Mu could only ask the officials to bring the maid's body back to the Ministry of Punishment.

There were a lot of pilgrims watching the excitement at the gate of the mountain, Liu Yunxiang glanced at it, and didn't want to see Jiang Yunying, who was still looking for Aunt Zhou with a portrait in her hand.

Aunt Zhou came out of Ziyun nunnery that day, and was pushed into the woods by Murong Lingyi's people to kill her when she was going down the mountain. It was probably because of this that she came here to look for her.

Liu Yunxiang thought for a while, and walked towards Jiang Yunying, but when passing by the crowd, a woman bumped into her.

"Ouch, you girl, you are walking recklessly, you are going to smash my old bones!"

Liu Yunxiang looked over, and saw that she was a woman over fifty years old, but with a strong body, a dark complexion, small eyes, and a pointed mouth.She frowned, obviously she was walking too fast and bumped into her.

The collision made her unable to stand still, and she took two steps sideways.

"It's clearly you..."

"Forget it, I won't argue with you!"

The woman waved her hand, then burrowed into the crowd.

Liu Yunxiang didn't care, and was about to leave when the woman stopped her again.

"Hey, let me ask you, what happened in this nunnery, why don't people go in?"

This woman was really rude, Liu Yunxiang replied flatly: "There has been a murder case."

"Dead?"

"Ah."

"nun?"

Liu Yunxiang hadn't answered yet, and someone watching the fun said, "It's not a nun, I heard it's a maid from the palace."

The woman was taken aback for a moment, "Grand... maid?"

"It is said that it is for the Empress Dowager."

The woman's eyes widened, and she burrowed in as if she was frightened, but when she got in a little, she retreated, and then turned and ran down the mountain without saying a word.

Liu Yunxiang frowned at the back of the woman running down in a hurry, thinking she was a bit strange.

"Madam, have you seen the person in this portrait?"

Liu Yunxiang looked back and saw Jiang Yunying standing in front of her, holding the portrait in his hand.

She smiled, "You asked me in the city before."

Jiang Yunying hurriedly said embarrassingly: "I'm sorry, I asked too many people, so I misremembered it."

"fine."

"Uh, are you alone?"

"what?"

"Isn't she your cousin? What about your cousin?"

Jiang Yunying pointed down, "My cousin is in the pavilion, and there are many people there."

"Then please trouble Miss Jiang to take me there. I have something to tell your cousin face to face."

Jiang Yunying was taken aback for a moment, "How do you know my surname is Jiang?"

Liu Yunxiang smiled, "I also saw you that day in Yuelao Temple."

Jiang Yunying blushed, "Let the girl see my ugliness."

"No, I think you're doing the right thing."

Jiang Yunying's eyes brightened with a smile, but soon the smile faded again, "My parents scolded me, and the family who discussed the marriage earlier also withdrew the marriage. Later, I thought it was probably my mistake."

"Girl, the marriage has not yet arrived, so don't doubt yourself."

"Well, that's what the girl said."

Liu Yunxiang followed Jiang Yunying down the mountain, and at this time Yan Mu also followed.

"Where are you going?" he asked.

"Look for Xue Changfeng."

"What are you looking for him for?"

When mentioning Xue Changfeng, Yan Mu was speechless.

"Ask him why he is handsome, but he can hold so much alcohol, causing my husband to get drunk and secretly kiss me at night, but accuse me of taking advantage of him." Liu Yunxiang gave Yan Mu a sideways glance as he spoke.

Yan Mu glared at her angrily, "I... I remember you pounced on me!"

"You didn't have the habit of cheating when you were drunk before."

Yan Mu blushed, "It's probably because I'm really drunk."

Liu Yunxiang burst into laughter, stretched out his hand to hold Yan Mu, and whispered: "I like the way you look drunk."

"Are you ashamed or not?"

"would not."

Jiang Yunying was in front, and the two chatted and laughed a little behind.

Soon came to the gazebo below, to Liu Yunxiang's surprise, Murong Lingyi was there, and the two were arguing, their faces were red.

"Xue Changfeng, I warned you, Mrs. Zhou can no longer enter Xue's house, how dare you seek her secretly!"

"She is my concubine and she is pregnant with a child. I must find her and take her home!"

"I don't allow it!"

"So what if you are the princess, you can't be so unreasonable!"

"I don't allow it! You are not allowed to have other women in your heart!"

"What about you? You don't love me at all, you love Yan Mu!"
