Qing Hui followed the sound and saw a young woman looking at her in surprise.

Qing Hua couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

It's Xu Manjin.

The former fiancée of the eldest son of Duke Qi was later set up by Qi Mingyue to become Lian Jinchen's concubine. Later, Lian Jinchen was dethroned, and she never heard from Xu Manjin again.

It can be said that Xu Manjin also had a bad fate. She was supposed to marry into the Duke's palace in a glorious way, but she failed to get married due to the filial piety. She finally got out of the filial piety period, and her fiancé did not regret the marriage. It was originally a good thing anyway, but because of Qi Mingyue There are many complications, but she is still decisive and has been working hard to fight against fate.

Qing Hui hates Lian Jinchen, but has no ill feelings toward Xu Manjin.

She nodded towards Xu Manjin, thought for a moment and then said: "There are not many people in the temple now. It is dangerous to go out of the city now, so you'd better not go out and walk around."

After saying that, Qing Hui remembered what happened when he met Lian Jinchen, and suddenly asked: "Are you here to see Lian Jinchen? Then you came a step too late, he has already left."

Xu Manjin shook his head.

"I have asked the eldest princess to make peace with him, so I am still a girl of the Xu family. I have nothing to do with Chen... and General Lian. I am not here to find him."

Xu Manjin used to insist on marrying Lian Jinchen as a concubine in order to find a way out for herself and the Xu family. However, since the fall of Qi Guogong's palace and the dethronement of Lian Jinchen's throne, the situation in Beijing has changed rapidly. Now Xiliang is the one who calls the shots. It's the eldest princess.

She has been reading poetry and books since she was a child. She was a boudoir girl in the past, and what she has learned will only be used in trivial matters such as housekeeping in the future. This is why Lian Jinchen originally agreed to her becoming a concubine, and The reason for leaving the palace to her.

However, after the incident in the capital, she no longer needed Lian Jinchen's status to support her. She took the initiative to ask Ying to work for Her Royal Highness, the eldest princess. Not only did she successfully reconcile with Lian Jinchen and return to the Xu family, she also used her own skills to I got a job from the eldest princess.From that moment on, she was no longer an aristocratic daughter who could only rely on her husband's family. She could only live in the back house for the rest of her life.

She can support herself, and she can bring herself status and stability through her own abilities.

She and Qi Rongxuan were in love with each other at the beginning, so at that time, even if something like that happened at the birthday banquet of the eldest princess's mansion, Qi Rongxuan was still willing to accept her. At that time, she thought, even if he accepted her, how could he accept her? How?How long can this feeling of charity last?How many days can this trust be maintained amid suspicion?She couldn't afford to gamble or spend money.

So she rejected Qi Rongxuan, she didn't want to leave her fate in the hands of others.

She has always been glad that she had made a decision out of desperation, so that today, when the time comes, she can walk to the stage without restraint, instead of being trapped in the back house, hoping for the deep love between husband and wife.

"On the order of the eldest princess, I came to the temples and Taoist temples near the suburbs of Beijing to arrange their evacuation first. I didn't know that the imperial concubine was here..." Xu Manjin came with a mission, and it was not something that could not be said, so He didn't hide it from Qing Hui either.

But she was curious, how could Qing Hui, whom she hadn't seen for several months, appear in a Taoist temple outside the capital?

Qing Hui nodded. It seemed that the eldest princess had already made arrangements, so she no longer had to worry about the safety of these people.

This is only a few dozen miles away from where the two armies are now confronting each other. Once the battle line moves outside the city, the first to suffer will be the nearby villages and towns that cannot be evacuated, as well as these Taoist temples located near the outskirts of Beijing.

Qing Hui remembered what she had just been confused about, and asked Xu Manjin: "I wonder if Miss Xu has heard of the temple? It is the temple used by the Four Kingdoms to worship the four spirits. I have heard of it before, but I didn't know where the temple is. Where, Miss Xu has lived in the capital for a long time and is well-informed, have you ever heard of her?"

"This..." Xu Manjin looked at her in confusion: "Don't you know, the imperial concubine?"
