In the evening, the gate of Taipingguan was closed on time as usual.

After the Taoist priests finished practicing the exercises, they returned to their residences to rest one after another. Two young Taoist priests held lanterns and patrolled around the temple.

Just like last night, two dim oil lamps were placed in front of Li Lingyue and Gong'er. Even at night, the master and servant were still chanting!
Li Lingyue would massage her legs every half an hour, and then continue to kneel down.

In order to protect her eyesight, she abandoned the book and recited the full text directly.

She herself found it funny. When she was in high school, she found it difficult to memorize a piece of "Pipa Xing". But now, she can memorize boring scriptures fluently. She has to lament that people's potential is forced to come out.

The melodious chanting sound came from Li Lingyue's mouth and reached Gong'er's ears, but turned into a lullaby.

The little girl sat on her knees on the ground, her heels resting on her buttocks, her head lowered, and she continued to doze off.

The master and the servant knelt from morning to night. During this period, except for going to the latrine, they almost never left the main hall, and they didn't eat anything.

Gong'er was sleepy and hungry. When she woke up from hunger, she drooped her eyelids and kept praying:
“You bastard, come quickly, and you’ll have biscuits when you come!”

The 'bastard' in her mouth naturally refers to Shi Qingfeng. Due to Li Lingyue's majesty, she did not dare to call him 'Master Shi' or 'Master Shi', so she had to follow the princess to call him 'bastard'.

After talking about it for a while, I opened my eyes and looked around, and found that the surroundings were empty, not even a human figure could be seen!
Gong'er was like a deflated rubber ball. She pouted her mouth and started to vent her anger:
"Damn bastard, even if you don't give me biscuits, I'd rather give you two steamed buns!"

"I want to eat shit!" Li Lingyue laughed and cursed: "That bastard won't come tonight!"

"Ah! Why?!" Gong'er asked with a puzzled look on his face.

Li Lingyue rolled her eyes: "Please use your brain more. They have obviously humiliated me today, but they still make me kneel here. Why? Why don't they use different methods to suppress me and kill me as a princess? In the future, I can no longer think of resisting!"

"But I think Mr. Shi... Bastard Shi doesn't look like this kind of person!" Gong'er subconsciously defended Shi Qingfeng.

"Whether he is unimportant or not, the key point is that the old witch has the final say in this Taoist temple!"

"Ah! If this continues, won't we starve to death?!"

"Don't worry, we won't die. They are starving us on purpose. They will only send us food when we are about to die of hunger. Now even if you beg them, they won't give you a bite to eat!"

After Li Lingyue finished speaking, she touched Gong'er's head and said apologetically: "Smelly girl, you have suffered a lot from following me as a princess. After this period of time passes, I will make it up to you. Tell me, what do you want then?" What!"

"This slave wants to eat endless biscuits!!" Gong'er swallowed her saliva and replied longingly.

Hey, look at your potential!

Li Lingyue cursed, then shook her head helplessly and sighed. For her now, let alone making up for the other party, she couldn't even protect herself.

An hour later, Li Lingyue stopped chanting and did not kneel again. Instead, she sat on the ground with her legs bent, letting Gong'er's head rest on her thigh, and the master and servant slept snuggled together.

After an unknown amount of time, Gong'er suddenly opened her eyes, wrinkled her nose and sniffed vigorously:

"Princess, I seem to smell the aroma of food!"

Li Lingyue was awakened and sniffed hard. Sure enough, the air was filled with the smell of meat.

Could it be that I guessed wrong and that bastard really came to deliver food?

Li Lingyue was confused, and quickly turned her head to look behind her, only to see darkness all around, with no one around.

"Wow, princess, there really is something to eat!"

Gong'er screamed excitedly, and Li Lingyue discovered that there was a large wooden tray placed on the floor two meters away behind him. There were two roast chickens, two bowls of steamed mutton, a pot of soju and Two biscuits.

Gong'er ignored Sanqi 21, brought the food back to Li Lingyue, and thanked the sky loudly:

"Thank you, bastard... No, who is that... Anyway, thank you!"

After saying that, she squatted down and looked at Li Lingyue excitedly. She had to wait for the princess to eat first before she could enjoy it.

Li Lingyue twisted the chicken legs and lifted the whole roast chicken up. She looked at it suspiciously, but had no intention of moving it.

"Princess, what are you waiting for? Eat quickly!" Gong'er swallowed her saliva and couldn't help but urge.

Li Lingyue put the roasted chicken back on the tray and reminded Gong'er: "This food is not from that bastard, you can't eat it!" "Princess, it doesn't matter who sent it, fill your stomach first!" Gong'er reached out and asked for it! Go grab another roast chicken!
Li Lingyue quickly knocked off her hand and said very seriously: "You can't eat it! I think there is something wrong here. Think about it, the Tao people are vegetarians, how can they prepare meat food for us, unless they are deliberately testing us, if That’s right, you can’t eat it anymore!”

"No way!" Gong'er looked surprised, pointed at the biscuits on the tray, and said unwillingly:
"Princess, there are two more biscuits here. If we only eat the biscuits, it won't be considered a breach of the precept!"

Li Lingyue picked up a Hu pancake from the plate and broke it with both hands. She saw that the Hu pancake was filled with mutton filling!

"Here!" Li Lingyue shook her head toward Gong'er and reminded her again: "It seems this is really a test for us. Be obedient and don't eat it!"

Gong'er kept swallowing her saliva. The delicious food right in front of her eyes was indeed full of temptation for a girl whose eyes were so hungry.

Li Lingyue was worried that this girl didn't have enough concentration, so she stood up and said:
"You stay here, I'll take it out and dump it!"

After saying that, she picked up the tray and walked out. Gong'er grabbed her like a child without milk!

"Princess, don't leave yet, before I let this slave have a good time!"

After saying that, he buried his head in the tray and inhaled the aroma of roast chicken and biscuits.

Li Lingyue rolled her eyes and waited until the girl was over her addiction before throwing the food and the tray into the latrine.

Back outside the main hall, she saw Gong'er waving to her excitedly again. There was another tray in front of the little girl, but this time, it was all vegetarian food: two bowls of noodle soup, a plate of fried mustard greens, and There are two pure noodle cakes.

"Princess, we have something to eat again!" Gong'er's eyes lit up, feeling that she would definitely be able to eat this time.

"Where did it come from?" Li Lingyue asked seriously.

"My slave doesn't know either. After I saw the princess go out, I turned around and found them placed here!"

After hearing what Gong'er said, Li Lingyue became more vigilant and was the first to exclude Shi Qingfeng.

Based on Li Lingyue's understanding of Shi Qingfeng, the other party would not send food secretly, let alone prepare it so richly. She could conclude that these dishes were definitely not sent by Taoist people. The Taoist kitchen could not prepare them at such a fast speed. Yes, the only explanation is that the dishes were brought in by outsiders, and both meat and vegetable dishes were prepared in advance.

"Girl, these foods are not made by Taoists, and their origins are unknown. What if they are poisonous, so you still can't eat them!" Li Lingyue pushed the tray aside and persuaded her.

"Ah!" Gong'er looked disappointed again. After being teased twice in a row, the little girl became a little anxious and said without fear of death:
"Princess, why don't I try it for you first? If it's really poisonous, I'll admit it!"

"What nonsense are you talking about! You've been poisoned, where can I find an antidote for you!" Li Lingyue scolded, and regardless of Gong'er's pleas, she picked up the tray and walked out again.

When she came back again, strange things happened again!

Another tray appeared in front of Gong'er. This time, in addition to two biscuits, it also contained a silver needle and a note.

There is a series of small words written on the note: Please feel free to eat, we do not mean any harm!

Before Li Lingyue could ask, Gong'er rushed to report: "Princess, I still haven't seen the person coming, but I have tried it with a silver needle and it is sure to be non-toxic. You won't throw it away this time!"

Li Lingyue picked up the note and read it for a long time. Instead of being less vigilant, she became more vigilant.

When you are hungry, the other party will bring you fine wine and delicious food. If you cannot eat meat, the other party will switch to vegetarian food. If you are worried that it is poisonous, the other party will take the initiative to send you a silver needle for identification.

The more Li Lingyue thought about it, the more her scalp became numb, and she felt like there was a pair of eyes hiding in the dark, watching her every move.

Fortunately, the other party only sent food. If it were to take her life... Li Lingyue didn't dare to think too much, stood up, looked around, and then said loudly:

"My friends who are hiding in the dark, can you come out and see me?!"

There was silence all around, and there was no response.

Gong'er also found that all this was too weird. She held the oil lamp with one hand and tightened Li Lingyue's sleeve with the other hand. Her face was nervous and scared.

"It doesn't matter if you don't dare to show up. Can you leave your name so that my master and servant can remember your kindness?"

Li Lingyue said something loudly again. After waiting for a long time, there was still no response. Her mind changed and she laughed loudly:

"Haha, I see. This princess knows who you are. Since the higher ups have sent you to help me, just sending some food is not enough. I am sleepy now. I give you one hour to send me another big bed!"

After saying that, he took Gong'er and sat down on the floor. Each of them shared a piece of biscuit and ate it with ease.
