If you don’t cherish the love we wear quickly, why are you crying if you change your mind?

Chapter 40 She quits being a substitute (40)

Wang Wanyi originally didn't want to see Jiang Miao, but upon hearing the maid's suggestion, she suddenly felt rebellious.

Why should I avoid her?
  Mother Qiu Shuang was imprisoned in the side hospital. She must have caused mischief in front of her mother. Otherwise, how could mother deal with Mother Qiu Shuang even though she was so good!

"go!"

Seeing Wang Wanyi's menacing look, Qiu Xi didn't know what to say, so she had to help the person walk faster.

Jiang Miao was walking in front and naturally heard the movement behind her. She could feel Wang Wanyi's fire-breathing eyes without looking back.

As expected, Wang Wanyi quickly caught up and greeted her coquettishly.

"Miss Jiang, long time no see. How are you?"

When Jiang Miao heard this, she paused for a moment, and felt ridiculous when she saw Wang Wanyi's look of asking for justice.

"Thank you, Miss Wang, for your concern."

Her words made Wang Wanyi angry, and she suddenly regretted catching up and asking for trouble.

"You! Are you talking nonsense in front of my mother and causing Aunt Qiu Shuang to be imprisoned?"

Jiang Miao looked at her glare and chuckled, "If Miss Wang is sick, go and treat her. Don't talk nonsense in front of me."

With her face broken, Wang Wanyi became even more angry.

Qiu Xi quickly stopped in front of Wang Wanyi, "Miss Jiang, please don't go too far. My young lady kindly came to say hello to you, but you..."

Before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Jiang Miao.

"I'm talking to your young lady. Why are you so impatient?"

"Ugh" Wang Wanyi was about to confront Jiang Miao when she suddenly felt sick in her heart.

Qiu Xi supported her, with a worried look on her face, "Miss, can I help you to rest?"

Wang Wanyi still wanted to entangle, but was stopped by Jiang Miao's cold eyes.

Jiang Miao glanced at her belly, and then remembered the incident at the White Horse Hunting Ground, and said meaningfully: "Congratulations, Miss Wang, there must be good news in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"What do you mean?! Jiang Miao, please explain clearly!" Wang Wanyi looked at Jiang Miao who left after saying nothing, and stamped her feet angrily.

As she was being helped back to the wing, her heart nearly jumped into her throat.

Will not!
  Just once, how is it possible!

Qiu Xi asked with concern: "Miss, if you feel uncomfortable, would you like to ask the doctor to take a look?"

"I'm very fine!" Wang Wanyi said hurriedly: "My mother will recover after a long illness. Don't tell her."

……

Jiang Miao held a paper umbrella and walked back to the wing through the snow, when she suddenly heard the sound of hurried footsteps.

She held an umbrella and quietly followed the sound, and saw a dozen monks in monk's robes sneaking towards the mountain behind the wing.

Why do these monks act like thieves? They have a very different temperament from the monks in the main hall who chant sutras and worship Buddha.

However, she didn't intend to meddle in other people's business, so she turned back with an umbrella. At this moment, several monks suddenly turned around when they heard the sound of their feet stepping on the snow.

When Jiang Miao saw the man's face, he immediately felt something bad and quickened his pace.

Isn't the person pretending to be a monk none other than Wu Changqing, Prince of Xiping County, whom Xiao Yi is going to hunt down recently?
  No wonder the person who couldn't catch him turned out to be hiding in the temple.

Jiang Miao's thoughts swirled. Even if more than a dozen monks were besieging her, it would be easy for her to escape. But if she risked her life, could she detect Xiao Yi's feelings for her?

Although he promised to marry her, the system said that it was not yet able to detect the completion of the strategy mission.

In other words, if Xiao Yi didn't really show his love for her, then her mission would always be in a state of being unable to be completed.
  While Jiang Miao was meditating, several monks rushed towards her.

Jiang Miao ran away and her umbrella fell on the snow. As she ran, she shouted, "Help!"

But the cry for help was quickly drowned out by the "whirring" sound of the wind and snow, and Jiang Miao was also caught and taken away. Just when they were about to raise their hands to knock her out, Jiang Miao pretended to faint in advance.

……

At this time, in the majestic palace.

In the Jinluan Hall, the emperor summoned his ministers to discuss matters.

Xiao Yi was sitting in the palace. Sitting opposite him was Prime Minister Wang Shi'an, and the first person above him was Emperor Zhao Guang.

After the incident involving the Prince of Xiping County, Zhao Guang intended to reduce the vassal status, but the largest vassal king in the palace was the regent Xiao Yi, which made him speechless.

Zhao Guang pondered and said, "Xiao Aiqing, has Wu Changqing been caught?"

Xiao Yi didn't stand up either. He still sat where he was and said: "I have sent people to investigate. Even if he has wings, he will not be able to fly out of Luoyang City."

Wang Shi'an glanced at Xiao Yi calmly, and seeing that he was still wearing that arrogant face, he said: "Master Xiao, it would be better to add more people. It is the New Year, and if Wu Changqing jumps over the wall to take people hostage, this matter will not go away. It’s easy to handle.”

Zhao Guang nodded slightly when he heard Wang Shi'an's words, "The Prime Minister is right."

Xiao Yi disagreed, thinking he didn't know Wu Changqing was hiding in Baima Temple? It was only to lure out the rebellious officials and traitors in the court that the pace of arrests was slowed down.

At this moment, someone came in a hurry to report.

"Your Majesty, the Queen was frightened at White Horse Temple."

"What's going on?!" Zhao Guang slapped the dragon chair angrily.

The reporter said tremblingly: "When the Queen went to Baima Temple to pray for blessings, she heard that a pilgrim in the temple was missing. The missing person was the medical woman who cured General Yang's chronic illness. General Yang fainted after hearing the news. The Queen was worried. Old General Yang’s body is also very anxious.”

Xiao Yi frowned slightly when he heard this, and couldn't help but grasp the armrest with his hands.

The person who reported the report was still talking, but he no longer paid attention.

"Currently, people in Baima Temple are in panic. The Queen is afraid that she is not safe in the temple."

If the rebels take the queen as a hostage, things will be difficult!

Wang Shian suddenly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to report."

"Actually, that medical girl is my daughter who was lost seventeen years ago, but she has not yet recognized her ancestors and returned to the clan. I would like to ask your majesty to personally lead troops to the White Horse Temple to arrest the rebels and protect the safety of the Queen!"

Just when Zhao Guang was about to respond, Xiao Yi stood up and walked to the hall.

He spoke slowly, "The Prime Minister is worried about the understanding of his family and ministers, but if you rush to the White Horse Temple, not to mention alerting the enemy, I'm afraid it will put the queen in the temple into a more dangerous situation."

With that said, he cupped his hands towards the emperor and said in a deep voice: "I have arrangements near Baima Mountain, and I am willing to go to Baima Temple immediately to encircle and suppress the rebels."

Zhao Guang nodded in silence, "Then I ask you to ensure the queen's safety."

……

On Baima Mountain, Jiang Miao was actually conscious the whole time, but she just didn't open her eyes and pretended to be dizzy.

After her captor left, she opened her eyes and saw that she was placed in a huge cave.

The surrounding area was covered with withered grass, which must have been the temporary nest of the group of rebels.

Her hands and legs were tied, a ball of cloth was stuffed in her mouth, and her head was heavy.

She struggled to sit up, rolled out a small knife from her sleeve and began to cut the rope, cutting it to the point where it could be broken with just a little effort.

After she was ready, she leaned against the stone wall to inquire about the news from Tongzi.

"Xiao 9, what's the situation now? Does Xiao Yi know the news that I was kidnapped?

It stands to reason that Xiao Yi's people have arrangements at White Horse Temple, and he should be well-informed.

[Host, don’t worry, Xiao Yi has already sent extra men to the mountain. ]
