After a while, Lingyun led Li Lingyue and two others outside the palace.

"Princess, wait here for a moment. Disciple, please go and report!" Lingyun greeted and walked along the stone steps into the main hall. Li Lingyue, his master and servant, still wearing plain clothes, stood in the square outside the hall.

After a while, Lingyun came out of the hall, holding two meditation futons in his hands, walked quickly to Li Lingyue, and said with a smile:

"Master has ordered that the princess and this girl kneel down on the futon and recite "The Beginning of the Three-Dong Dongxuan Lingbao Fengdao Kejie Camp". After the recitation is completed, you can get up and enter the palace!"

Li Lingyue couldn't figure out for a moment whether the Taoist nun was sincerely trying to make things difficult for her, so she had to stretch out her hands in a gesture of support:
"In this case, please give me the scriptures, Senior Brother Lingyun!"

Lingyun was stunned and asked: "Princess, didn't you bring any scriptures with you?"

Li Lingyue raised her head and looked at her, even more confused. She had never heard of the so-called "Dong Xuan Ling Bao Three Cave Feng Dao Ke Jie Ying Beginning", so how could she possess it.

When Lingyun saw this, he thought it was his negligence and quickly apologized: "Princess, wait a moment, the disciple will go get ready!" After saying that, he hurried back to the palace.

Li Lingyue, who was stunned on the spot, never thought that his mother had never mentioned the scriptures to her at all. With Empress Wu's character, she always ordered others to do things, so how could she obey others' orders.

In the Luoyang Palace that day, Yu Zhenzi took out the book "The Beginning of the Dongxuan Lingbao Three Cave Fengdao Kejieying Camp" and asked Empress Wu to hand it over to Li Lingyue, saying that it was for the ceremonial use of the crown and scarf. Empress Wu was already very interested in killing her. How could he take her request seriously, so after coming out of Luoyang Palace, Empress Wu said nothing, and the scripture is still stored in Eunuch Yang's place.

But Empress Wu didn't expect that her strong style would harm her precious daughter.

Lingyun, who had left and returned, was holding two copies of "Dongxuan Lingbao Three Cave Fengdao Kejie Camp Beginning" in his hands, but the expression on his face was a little gloomy.

After Li Lingyue and Li Lingyue took the scriptures, she slowly said: "Princess, the master asked the disciple to bring you two sentences!"

Here it comes, here it comes, that evil spirit really has a trick up his sleeve!
Li Lingyue cursed in her heart, cupped her hands and said, "Senior brother, please speak!"

Lingyun coughed slightly and said with a slight embarrassment: "Master's first sentence is: the auspicious time for today's ceremony has passed, and the princess needs to kneel here and recite scriptures until the next auspicious time appears!"

As soon as Li Lingyue heard this, she knew that this was deliberately targeting her. The 'next auspicious time' mentioned by the demon would definitely not appear today. In other words, she would have to kneel down until at least the next morning, and when would the auspicious time be? It's not her who has the final say, but it's all decided by the demon. As long as the other party is not sure about the auspicious time, Li Lingyue will have to keep kneeling.

Suppressing the anger in his heart, Li Lingyue asked coldly: "What about the second sentence? Senior brother, just finish it all at once!"

Lingyun took a deep breath and said: "Master's second sentence is: If the princess can't bear the hardship, or feels wronged, she can make a note and leave, it's the door of my Taoist family. , come and go freely!”

When Li Lingyue heard this, a sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth. It was obvious that Yao Dao was deliberately stimulating her and forcing her to act on her own initiative, thus voluntarily giving up on Taoism.

As long as she does this, Tiandaomen will be able to put the matter aside. Even if Li Zhi is held accountable, they can say that it was not us who drove the princess away, but she gave up on her own initiative!

By that time, not to mention that Empress Wu would be in a dilemma, she herself would also become the laughing stock of the world.

Thinking of this, Li Lingyue cupped her hands towards Lingyun and said with a smile: "Brother, please report back to the demon... Master, I will kneel on the ground, concentrate on chanting sutras, and abide by the precepts until the master finds a good day!" After saying that, she was about to kneel on the futons. Unexpectedly, senior brother Lingyun took away the two futons on the ground before her. With red cheeks, he apologized in embarrassment:

"I'm sorry, princess. The disciple took out these two futons without permission. Master said that the princess doesn't need them, so he asked the disciple... to take them back!"

"Isn't that reasonable? Is this how you treat the princess? It's simply too much of a bullying. Sister, please call your master out so that I can have a good discussion with her!"

Gong'er, who had always been as docile as a cat, was irritated. She stood up to defend Li Lingyue. The little girl rolled up her sleeves and looked like little roses with thorns, which shocked Li Lingyue.

"Gong'er, don't be rude!" Li Lingyue scolded, pulled the angry Gong'er behind him, and continued to Lingyun:
"Senior brother, don't be surprised. This girl like me is used to being wild in the palace. You should go back and recover first. I will do the same later!"

After saying that, she lifted up her plain skirt and knelt down facing the door of the palace. Then she held the book "The Beginning of the Dongxuan Lingbao Three Cave Fengdao Kejie Camp" in her hands and started to read.

"Princess!!"

Seeing Li Lingyue being so humiliated, Gong'er choked with sobs, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and knelt down.

Lingyun glanced at the master and servant on the ground, sighed helplessly, and turned back to resume his life.

A hundred steps away, in the Taiqing Hall, Shi Qingfeng was dressed in white. After Lingyun left, he should have closed his eyes and meditated, but instead he looked at Yu Zhenzi, who was sitting in the main seat.

Yu Zhenzi sat cross-legged with her eyes closed. She seemed to know that Shi Qingfeng was looking at her, so she asked jokingly:
"What? You want to intercede for her?"

Shi Qingfeng hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said, "Disciple is just confused. The ceremony of crowning her with a scarf was supposed to be held today, but why did my uncle ask her to kneel down and be punished!"

Yu Zhenzi smiled and said casually: "Uncle is not punishing her, he is just disciplining her for you. With your temper, it will be difficult to control this princess in the future, so I will do it for you today." You have the energy to kill her!"

When Shi Qingfeng heard this, the expression on his face was stunned, and he immediately said: "It's just that this princess has an unruly temperament and acts in extreme ways. If my uncle pushes her too hard, it may be counterproductive!"

Yu Zhenzi slowly opened his eyes, looked at Shi Qingfeng, and said meaningfully: "You seem to know her very well?"

Shi Qingfeng shook his head and answered truthfully: "Although I have had several contacts with her, I have never been able to see through this person, let alone understand her!"

"So, people who can't see through are the most terrifying!" Yu Zhenzi said calmly: "Last time in the jungle, I used her slaves to humiliate her, but she managed to hold back. This shows that this woman has some scheming intentions. Yes, normally she should have a grudge against my Tiandao Sect, but now she is willing to come to Luoyang to join my Taoist Sect. I’m afraid it’s not just about fulfilling her filial piety! If I don’t take this opportunity to surrender her, I’m afraid she will become me in the future. The scourge of Taoism!"

Yu Zhenzi's words always felt a bit strange to Shi Qingfeng's ears. He thought about it and asked, "How long will the uncle make her kneel?"

Yuzhenzi glanced at him and said with a smile: "Kneel until she submits!" (End of Chapter)
