peach blossoms smile

Chapter 22 The beginning is destined to end
I struggled to stand up and said with a smile, "It wasn't long before I arrived. When I saw my second brother over there, I ran over there in a hurry and fell down. By the way, what is my second brother doing there alone?"

I didn't put my hand into his palm, he withdrew his hand and said, "It's still so careless, your makeup looks good today."

"I am your righteous sister, how can I embarrass you when I come to the palace?" I laughed again.

Yes, I am his sister, from the very beginning, the ending was doomed.

Three nuns of ceremonies followed me all day long.The house is full of things rewarded by the palace, and even the corners that were dug out by the father are filled with all kinds of boxes.The garden has been renovated again.The viewing stones, Nine-Dragon Wall, and Nine-Curved Bridge transported from the End of the Sky gave the entire garden a new look, and the ones we remodeled have returned to their original state, except for the steamed bun-shaped roof...

The housekeeper of the palace reported to me one by one the progress of the renovation of the palace: "The people sent by the palace said that the roof was not in accordance with the etiquette system, and they wanted to tear it down and rebuild it. From the perspective of villains, this roof is a bit out of place compared with other roofs, but since the princess likes it, the prince will keep it."

Recently, the spring has been sunny, so I just feel sleepy from time to time, so I yawned unconsciously, and the housekeeper coughed and said: "Princess, from Chenshi, you have to learn how to dress with Lin Nanny, and Sishi and Yumao Xue Xingzhi, after lunch, learn Derong from Nanny Li..." He coughed again, "These are arranged by the emperor himself."

I just felt that my eyelids were twitching, so I said, "I'll squint for a while, and when the time comes, call me again."

In my impression, what Bai Mi wants to do has never failed.Although Emperor Wu Chong issued an imperial decree, I can be sure that this wedding will be nothing in the end.

"Princess, why are you not paying attention at all? Do you know? I heard from my old man that the one from the Shen family hasn't gone out for several months. His face is thin and his belt is getting wider." The housekeeper road.

"Hey, butler, you are very talented. Isn't it too wronged to only let you be a butler?" I glanced at him and said, "You also have a lot of friends. When you come to the new master, you are still as good as the old master and the old subordinates." Keep in close contact, the Palace is really lucky to have you as a good housekeeper." The housekeeper blinked and said angrily: "Princess, the villain was recommended by Prince Fu, so you are doubting the loyalty of the villain by saying that? Although the villain talks a lot, all he says is for the sake of the master. Although the princess is smart, there are also some stupid things. For example, the princess often wears her underwear outside when she wears clothes. She is still like this after being taught many times. Comb a bun, If there is no one to help, the princess will often comb the Liuxian bun into a crumbling pile of horse dung. All this makes the villain spend countless more energy than taking care of others. The villain has always spoken outspokenly. If the princess is not satisfied, you can ask the princess The prince requests that the villain be dismissed!"

He was eloquent, and his cadences and cadences made all my spring sleepiness go away.I thought it was different at the foot of the imperial city, even the butler was very famous, he would leave as soon as he said it, and his ability to persuade people had to be admired.

I had no choice but to stand up, took the refreshing soup from his hand, drank it, and after finishing dressing up one by one, I followed him to the teaching workshop.

Jiaoxifang is the residence of the palace mothers when they come to the palace. It is very secluded, and few people pass by here.Even more because it is a female official from the palace, and there are palace guards guarding the gate of the courtyard. I should have seen guards in thin scale armor when I walked around a nine-curved corridor, but when I turned around, I saw a bony The rockery stands impressively.

"My lord, this is a new view of the garden. The Taihu stone brought from Taihu Lake is the work of Jia's family, a famous Taihu stone master. What do you think?" Although the repair is extraordinary and the matching is just right, but there is one bad thing, that is, the stream behind the house is suspected of being "empty", so the villain asked someone to build a rockery here to help the palace accumulate energy. Nourishing."

I just think that the whole rockery stands here, and there is no other benefit except for people to take a long way, but if I say that, the housekeeper must be talking endlessly again, so I can only say: "Very good, very good……"

The housekeeper's face was excited: "You think it's good too? The princess is really educated, and the rockery pays attention to 'installing the buckets and shoulders, hanging the sword hanging, picking and flying the hanging, nailing the hook and tenon, filling the seam and killing it, Relying on conversion pressure'. Jia’s works express the three crosses to the fullest. Look at the angle of the lake and rocks. Looking from this direction, does this place look like the Lotus Peak of Huangshan Mountain, and the peaks and ravines here are turbulent? Seto, isn't it a bit like the scenery of the Longtan waterfall on Mount Tai?"

After what he said, it does have a sense of remote mountains and deep valleys. I was led to the front of the rockery by him, and finally saw the familiar path between the two rocks. I thought it was a good thing he built the rockery here. , Keep the old road before, so that you don't have to travel a long way.

He spoke very excitedly, describing all kinds of beautiful scenery on the rockery that looked like a stone to me. Hearing him talk all the way, it seems that he is traveling everywhere.

Before I knew it, I came to the entrance of the small path, and I couldn't hear the voice behind me, so I turned my head and asked with a smile, "Then what is the view of this cave?"

But he turned his back to me, I don't know what he was doing, maybe my sudden words startled him, then he turned around and said with a smile: "This place is called Xianren Bridge, entering here is like entering a fairyland. "

I looked at the entrance of the cave, touched the high bun on my head, and measured the height of the cave entrance. I felt that it would be more difficult to go in, so I said regretfully: "It seems that we can't go to this fairyland today, we have to travel around." go."

"Need not."

His voice startled me, when did he come to me?Looking everywhere, I saw a strange smile on the corner of his mouth, he was not feeling right, he was pushed hard on the back, and he fell towards the entrance of the rockery.Seeing that my nose was about to hit the hard bluestone slab, the slate cracked suddenly, I just felt myself falling straight from a high altitude, the whole body hit something, then bounced up, and hit something again.

After doing this several times, a candle was suddenly lit in the darkness.The candlelight shone on the faces of the people around me, like the stone statues next to the tombstone under the moonlight at night. It was ghostly and chilling, and I was so frightened that I let out screams one after another.

One of the stone statues began to count: "One, two, three..."

I don't know how many times I screamed, but when my eyesight gradually recovered, I saw a stone statue giving another stone statue a silver coin: "She must have called more than ten times on weekdays, who knows that she has been eating so much sweets lately?" Too many, my throat is a little inflamed, and I stopped barking after eight times..."

Another person who received the money patted him on the shoulder: "Gambling is all about taking into account all kinds of unfavorable factors."

The person standing in front of me to collect the money is naturally Xia Han, and the one who gave the money is Xia Jizhi.Look under me again, there is a huge palm net mat, everyone is here, and there is an extra housekeeper.

The old man came out from the shadows: "Ah Dan, the matter has come to this point, we can't leave unless we leave."

Only then did I see clearly that, except for Xia Ji and Xia Han who maintained the usual optimism and cheerfulness on their faces, the faces of the father and mother were heavy, while Yiyu stood with a faint expression. behind everyone.

At this moment, this scene made my head full of fog.

"Who is he?" I saw the butler standing in the corner.

"You will know who he is in the future..." The old man in the shadow looked unpredictable, "He is a very important person."

I remembered the person Bai Wending asked me to investigate, the extra person, is that person?
Thinking back and forth, thinking of all the things that happened in the palace these days, I suddenly realized: "You guys have already started digging holes in the palace, but you didn't tell me? Those two so-called pets are to keep people from approaching here. Do you know what's going on here? As for the transformation that caused the housekeeper a headache, it's just a matter of fact? And the housekeeper of the palace, did you drive him away in a planned way? So that he can replace him?"

The old man sighed: "How can we be as far-sighted as you said? The butler is too sensitive and can't bear the pressure. You know, who in this world is not stressed? Everyone is under a lot of pressure."

Mother stepped forward and took my hand and said, "I don't want you to know, because I don't want you to worry."

Xia Jidao: "Yeah, I only found out about it recently. After I found out about it, every time I saw you, I wanted to tell you the truth. For a person who has no heart, this kind of pressure is also enormous." .”

I looked around them, and saw that the candles were bright and dark, and the faces of these people were also bright and dark. Suddenly, a cool breeze blew from the cave, and I had lumps on my arms, and I unconsciously tightened my clothes.

Outside the candlelight, Xia Han came out of the shadows, came to my side, embraced me and said, "Ah Dan, don't look at us with such strange eyes, it makes me feel scared, in fact, you and I It’s the same, I just found out about this news.”

I silently lowered my head: "You still use me to bet?"

She forced a smile: "Enliven the atmosphere, enlivened the atmosphere..."

"Where's the silver?"

She took out the silver from her sleeve, and after I took it away carefully, I turned around and whispered to my mother, "I'm terrified..."

The mother hastened two steps and came over, waiting to be comforted, the father said coolly at the side: "Don't pretend to be hurt, you want your mother to cook and make snacks again, right? Don't even look at what time it is, We are still under the palace and belong to the scope of the palace, so we have to leave quickly."

"She is not willing." The housekeeper said quietly in the corner.

unwilling?Why not?His words made my body suddenly feel cold, and I jumped off the bed and rushed to him. Just about to question him, he raised his eyes and said quietly: "The clothes the princess is wearing today are thin, and I haven't put them on." The rose sugar is hidden at the bottom of the sleeve, and there is a lot left in the bedside box, so the princess is reluctant."

I always felt that there was something in his words, and I could see his deep meaning from between his eyebrows, but I was speechless to refute his words. At this time, I realized that the butler's words were much simpler than before, and there was no such thing as the previous ten sentences. There are eight nonsense in it.

A group of us walked forward in silence. After a small section of dirt passage at the beginning, there was a large section of neat bluestone passage. This must not be completed in such a short period of time.I was full of questions and wanted to ask my father, but I was intimidated by his cold stare: "This is the prince's bedroom, keep your voice down."

I looked at my feet, there were still patterns carved on the neat bluestone slabs, I understood that there was a passage underneath, otherwise, it would be basically impossible to hide such a big commotion underground from Bai Mi's eyes and ears.

But where are we going?

I found that the butler was already at the front, and all of us were following him, and behind him was Dad, who was our backbone. , although Niangqin often challenges his authority, she still has to save some face for him at critical times, such as when his hand is discounted by herself.

I thought the butler was the guide, and only he knew the direction, but under the dim light in the cave, I found that the old man walked very skillfully, he walked half a step away from him, not too much , nor too little, he never crossed his lead.

Even Xia Ji, a stunned young man who walked too fast sometimes, would be driven back quietly by him.

This scene made me feel very interesting. I always want to try interesting things, so I stepped up a few steps, trying to get past Dad, and was going to bump into the butler when Dad's sleeves rose. Bang... I have a sachet coated with paprika in my hand.

He bumped me into this hole, I remember!
I want to make his whole body itchy and spicy.

Sure enough, as soon as I approached my father, my father raised his hand, but before his sleeves swelled up, I heard a cough...the sleeves went out.

I'm very disappointed, this framing has come to naught so quickly?This butler has very good ears, he knows even my slight movements?

I squeezed past my father, especially in front of the butler, and asked him, "Where are we going?"

"Princess, I'll be there in a while." He arched his hands and said.

I looked at my father out of the corner of my eye, and I always felt that he was a little uneasy, so I said to the housekeeper: "The shoes I wore today are a little pinched."

He hurriedly said, "The villain will change shoes with you?"

He made a gesture to take off his shoes. I glanced at my father out of the corner of my eye, and saw his uneasy expression deepened. I smiled and said, "No need...do you have rose sugar? Give me some. "

He fished the candy out of the bag and handed it to me, and I could clearly hear Papa's sigh of relief.

Dad's behavior made me more and more curious about this butler, but I really couldn't figure out who this person was, and this person's behavior and conversation were not like ordinary people.

I was thinking of finding a way to try him again, when my father glanced at me coldly with warning eyes, and said, "Here we are."

He opened the door in front of him. The light outside the door was not strong. After I could see it clearly, I realized that it was night. Outside the door was another extremely long wooden corridor, which could be seen clearly under the moonlight. The auspicious clouds engraved on the pillars of the promenade lingered, the Buddha's light shone everywhere, and the incense burner pagoda with a corner exposed in the distance made me finally figure it out, and we returned to the temple.

Thinking of the fire that almost killed me in the temple, I had to suspect that all this had something to do with my father. I was about to ask, but Xia sent me a wink and shook his head quietly.

It turns out that Dad didn't know that I was transferred and returned?I was a little sad for his indifference. I didn't expect that I had no sense of existence in his heart. I couldn't even figure out such a big change in my daughter. I was feeling sad. I stretched out a hand from the side and patted my shoulder. When I figured out the origin of that hand, I couldn't help being shocked!The housekeeper withdrew his hand with a sullen face.

what does he mean?Although he was older than me, he was a man after all, and he was not related by blood... I remembered the word "flirting".

But judging from his expression, it is far from the meaning contained in this word. I am not a person who swallows my anger, but I don't know how to react for a while.

So I slowly let myself go back to the team, thinking that if I can't provoke you, I can't hide. Put it back in your sleeve pocket.

This is an abandoned long corridor. When you step on the wooden floor, you can hear the sound of the floor creaking and breaking. Under the moonlight, the red paint is peeling off, and the reliefs are old. , but here is dilapidated.

We walked all the way without meeting a single person.

After walking for a long time, my eyesight gradually became clearer. Except that the carved buildings and painted buildings in front of me were old and dilapidated, I seemed to be in the palace of the Ding Zhou Dynasty again.

"This was originally a palace of the former dynasty. After several generations of changes, now only these side halls are left, and the others have been converted into temples by the new emperor... The country remains the same, but this palace only remains With ruins and ruins, the sunset is as brilliant as a fleeting moment.”

The steward's slightly hoarse voice echoed in the temple. He stood with his hands behind his back in front of the dilapidated front door of the temple. Under the silvery moonlight, one could vaguely see the colorful radiance and exquisite carvings on the door.

He stood here, the breeze blew his clothes, and the moonlight spread a layer of silver on his body, making him seem like a different person.At this moment, he gave me a feeling that this is his stage. If the stage is set up, he can dance here with brilliance and brilliance.

The current silent appearance of this person is far from that of the nagging housekeeper. Although he still looks normal, he looks like he is wearing colorful quilts all over his body.

His figure reflected the bright moon at the edge of the sky, like an ink shadow cast, so pale that it seemed as if he was about to ride away with the wind.

Surrounded by silence, the bright moon is silent, and the dilapidated palace is soaked by the moonlight, like a moon-like Qionglou.We followed him and pushed open the old heavy door. Amidst the creaking sound, a smell of corruption came oncoming. There were cobwebs in the cracks of the door, and weeds were overgrown in the gaps between the stone slabs.

There are many houses in this palace, but he went straight to the southeast corner very familiarly, as if he had walked here many times.His actions made me doubt more and more, I couldn't bear it any longer, I tugged on Dad's back and said, "Who is he?"

The old man turned his face, with a melancholy and strange look on his face. Before he could answer, a voice came from the side: "I didn't expect you to really dare to come?"

I looked over in astonishment, only heard the sound of tiles, the wind lamp suddenly lit up, the surrounding roofs were suddenly full of people, the corner door at the corner of the courtyard was opened, and where the light shone, the priest was surrounded by a group of nuns, Come slowly.

The moonlight and the lights reflected each other, the blue shirts were covered, and the dust was swept slightly, but these nuns were not dressed in the past, all of them had green sharp swords hanging from their waists, and on the houses, there were many arrows, as if they were approaching the sky. enemy.

I knew this was not an ordinary monastery, but I never thought that the strength here would be so strong. They have been waiting here for a long time.

The face of the temple master is still the same, her eyebrows are smiling, and her eyebrows are still sculpted and good-eyed in the past, but I unexpectedly remembered the fire in the temple, as if there was a biting scorching heat coming from her body, and I felt her moon-like eyes His eyebrows were like two sharp knives, as if they would stab at him at any moment.

I couldn't help shrinking behind my father, and remembered that my current identity was the secret of the other party. I couldn't show my fear too much, so I poked my head out a little, but my legs trembled a little.

"Master Wei, long time no see. I never thought that you are still so energetic when you are old. After so many years, you have not aged at all." The temple master laughed.

I thought to myself that you are not very old, just a few years older than me, and not much different from Bai Mi, why do you call my father a brother and a sister in a different generation?Isn't this an obvious advantage?

Thinking in my heart, I dare not say it out of my mouth, so I shrank my head behind my father's back.

I knew in my heart that although the temple master had a smile on his face at all times, he would not be soft-hearted in his actions. If the two of them couldn't agree on each other, the arrows around them would come down, so I looked around to see if there was any place to go. After escaping, I realized that every corner of the house was tightly sealed. No matter where you escape from, there must be a thousand arrows, and people have to be shot into the shape of a hedgehog.

Before the old man could answer, the viewer turned his attention to the butler, with a wider smile in his eyes: "I've heard about Princess Lingxuan's peerless demeanor for a long time, but I never thought meeting her would be better than being famous..."

what?
There was a sound of gasping for air from all around, and tiles on the roof shattered. Although the person behind the temple master tried his best to keep calm, he couldn't hide the shock in his eyes.

She is Princess Lingxuan?An Yuhuang's eldest princess, known as the number one beauty of the Zhou Dynasty with "a vortex of clouds, a shuttle of jade, a light shirt and thin clothes, and a frown and double snails"?

After the demise of the Great Zhou, her peerless demeanor did not perish with the demise of the Great Zhou. On the contrary, it has been recited for many, many years, and it has become extinct just like An Huanghuang's subjugated poems.

I was distracted, and suddenly I was startled, if I was really the fifteenth princess, wouldn't this one be my elder sister?No wonder she nagged me in every possible way and taught me sincerely. So there was this reason in it?

she is still alive?The suicide on the city wall didn't kill her?
Where the moonlight shines, she removes the human skin mask from her face, revealing a handsome face, but also reveals the gray hair under the moonlight, and the long and narrow scar like the moon on her neck.Her eyes were watery, and she glanced around inadvertently, making everyone's faces slightly moved.

"I didn't expect anyone to remember me." She sighed softly.

"Although the Zhou Dynasty has been subjugated for several years, the princess's demeanor has never faded. How can people forget it?" The temple master said, "This temple has tracked it for many years, and the whereabouts of the princess are a mystery. Unexpectedly, it is far away in the sky, but it is close in front of us."

The temple master smiled like a flower, and spoke carefully, like whispers in a boudoir, gossips, I was curious to hear it, and thought to myself, what does it mean to be far away in the sky and close in front of you?But he felt two eyes sweeping over, and when he was about to look carefully, he could only see the fluttering strand of white hair on the back of Princess Lingxuan's head.

"Thanks to you old friends who have been paying attention to my whereabouts, it makes me feel that I am still alive." She chuckled softly.

She spoke lightly, but the smiling expression of the host changed a bit: "Where are the servants the princess's opponents? You plan a strategy, even if you hide in the market, you can make the servants flustered and miss repeatedly."

I was very surprised, why did the Guanzhu and Princess Lingxuan seem to have such a deep grudge?It seems that the two have fought more than once, and it seems that the temple master has suffered a bit in the hands of Princess Lingxuan?
How can it be?

I have already seen the ruthless means of this temple master, and although this Princess Lingxuan is a princess, she is from the previous court just like me.Although most of the royal family in the Great Zhou Dynasty practiced martial arts, they probably had a lot of fists and legs, and could only defend themselves. For example, those like me who can kill beasts and hunt are rare.

I can be sure that the other identity of the viewer must not be simple, and he can stand up to Bai Mi.

"You have to forgive others and forgive others, why do you have to kill them all?" Princess Lingxuan sighed, "The change of dynasties, the rotation of the sun and the moon, is a natural thing in the world. Although the emperor has changed, the country remains the same, and the people remain the same. "

"It's a pity that she doesn't know what she can do, and what she thinks and thinks in her heart is always the love of the motherland!" The temple master said.

Princess Lingxuan smiled and said, "Who doesn't have a past? Isn't it the same for the Master? A sword can kill a life, but it can't erase the past."

At this moment, the smile on the temple master's face finally disappeared completely, and there was a trace of pain in his eyes, but also a trace of ruthlessness, his eyes were more like cold waves and sharp blades, and he looked fiercely at Princess Lingxuan.

This seemingly plain sentence, like an arrow, directly pierced the deepest weakness in the heart of the temple master.

She smiled faintly, but there was no more smile in her eyes, and she pulled out the sword from her waist: "But I believe that the blood on the sword can kill everything."

The sound of the bowstring suddenly sounded, and the locust-like arrows seemed to be condensed by the moonlight, shooting at us. The usual hunting skills were now effective. Xia Ji stuffed a short knife in my hand, and we Xia Ji and Xia Han formed a circle with their backs facing each other, and each took the blade in their hand to push the arrow away.

Princess Lingxuan danced a long whip to fight with the spectator. I saw her twirling back and forth, whirling gracefully, dancing a long whip like a long sleeve of light silk, extremely elegant, but also as I expected Ordinarily, it's just embroidering fists and legs... The temple master sneered slightly, and the sword light was everywhere, cutting the long whip shorter and shorter.

After a long while, the long whip turned into a small leather whip. Princess Lingxuan took the small leather whip and backed away again and again, naturally she couldn't use any subtle moves, and the priest was like a cat playing with a mouse General continued to sharpen the long whip, this situation is really too funny, so even in such a crisis situation, I couldn't help but "goo" laugh.

Although the surroundings were like arrows, I suddenly felt a gaze like lightning, coldly sweeping towards me, my father swung around, stepped forward to stop Princess Lingxuan and the temple master, and fought with the temple master Only then can Princess Lingxuan lean against the pillars to rest.

The mother drew the arrow to protect Princess Lingxuan.

The strength of our side is really too weak, the arrows are like a woven cage, and we are easily trapped here, even the old man with a slightly higher martial arts, in my opinion, can't support much Recruited.

And the group of sword-wielding nuns next to the viewer has not finished yet. They want to force us to exhaustion, so they can easily come down and arrest us.

The strong bow and sharp arrows never show signs of stopping. My arms are already exhausted, and I almost let the arrows penetrate the defense and stab my body several times.

Xia Ji and Xia Han were even more helpless, because they had more enemies and the rain of arrows was more intensive.

Gradually, I also saw that the rain of arrows was not shooting aimlessly, but deliberately avoiding our vital parts.

In order to protect the two of us, Xia Ji ran left and right, sweating profusely. He panted and said, "Ah Dan, this is not good! Is there anything on your body that can defeat the enemy?"

I thought to myself that there was nothing else on me except a chili bag. Besides, the opponent was not close at all. How can we retreat from the enemy?
The moon was as bright as silver in the distance, the night sky was dark and dark blue, and the rain of arrows condensed in the void seemed endless and could never stop.

"Why don't we surrender," I said.

And as he said, he threw away the short blade, stood with his head down, and looked down at his feet, ignoring the continuous rain of arrows. Xia Ji frantically helped me block the arrows in front of me, and said loudly: "Ah! Dan, are you crazy?"

As I expected, once I stopped defending, the arrow stopped shooting towards me. Xia Ji also saw the opponent's purpose, and dropped the sword in his hand, took out a white scarf from his arms, and shook it. Loudly said: "We have descended, we have descended..."

Xia Han was so exhausted that she collapsed and sat on the ground all of a sudden.

The rain of arrows shooting at us naturally stopped.

I looked at my father again, only to see that someone had put a sword on his neck.Princess Lingxuan and others were also watched with swords.

I took a breath and thought, why are we resisting so much?I can't resist, because I'm a master craftsman.

"Wouldn't it be better if I did this sooner?" The temple master Pingting came with a smile. Compared with our embarrassment, she was much more relaxed, her hair was not messed up, there was not a single drop of sweat on her forehead, and her clothes were still as white as lotus.

This person's personality has changed a lot. According to my previous experience, in order not to let her see the flaws, I decided to keep my head down.

"Princess, what's the matter with you?" Mother called out loudly.

I followed the sound and saw that in the middle of a circle surrounded by those nuns, Princess Lingxuan fell on top of my mother and slowly slid down.

Looking through the gap between the skirt and the sword blade, one can see Princess Lingxuan's face is pale, her hands are covering her chest, her lips have turned dark purple.

"Did you have heart palpitations again?" Mother asked anxiously.

Before she answered, the inexplicable sense of familiarity came again in my heart, but before I figured out what was going on, I heard Princess Lingxuan whisper: "Ah Dan, Ah Dan..."

My mother looked at me eagerly, I was about to walk over, but was stopped by a nun holding a sword, my father said: "My Lord, why don't you make it easier for others and yourself?"

The temple master smiled and waved his hand: "It's good if it's really convenient for me."

The nuns around me made way for me to walk over.

She was lying in her mother's arms, looking at me earnestly. At that moment, it seemed that I was her everything... This feeling made me feel strange, why?Why do you do this?

When I walked over, she grabbed my hand and said, "Ah Dan, Ah Dan..." After calling out twice, she became out of breath.

"Sister?" I asked hesitantly, "Are you my sister?"

There was a blush on her face, but she didn't answer my words, she panted a few times and said, "I'm afraid you will be alone in the future."

"I have a mother, and a father..." I muttered, "I am no longer a princess."

Mother looked at me with reproachful eyes: "What nonsense are you talking about? Do you know who she is?"

"Who is it?" I asked involuntarily.

But Princess Lingxuan pulled her sleeves all of a sudden, I could see clearly in the blink of an eye, Princess Lingxuan shook her head secretly.

"I'm afraid that you will be the only heir of Dazhou in the future..." She said softly, "I will never be by your side again."

I was wondering, thinking that we just met each other, didn't we?Why did she speak as if she had been with me for many years?How many people in my family are still unclear?

While he was wondering, he heard the temple master sneer: "Princess Lingxuan, why don't you tell her the truth..."

"No..." She yelled sharply, stopping the temple master from continuing.

"Why not? You are about to die, what else is there to worry about?" The temple master laughed, "I tell you how she guarded you. I didn't find out where the person I was looking for for many years was until today. What kind of life do you live. Do you still remember Granny Li who sells Wufu meatballs in your village? Her clothes are dirty and her hair is gray. I gave you Wufu meatballs on credit, but I never took any money from you...Who would have thought that the princess of the Great Zhou Dynasty would sell Wufu meatballs in the village for more than ten years?"

Every morning, as soon as I go out, I will see Granny Li who sells Wufu meatballs at the head of the village. No matter how early it is, her stall is already steaming. The place where she set up the stall overlooks the whole village... She will always feel pain in her heart Every time she hurts, her father always finds herbs for her.

"Stop it, stop it..." Princess Lingxuan breathed weakly, trying to stop her.

"Why didn't you tell her how you protected her? Every time she got into trouble, she was chased by wild animals, every time she was in danger... Oh, I remember, last time in the temple, she had red spots all over her body, and there were quack doctors It’s you who went to the palace for treatment, right?”

Under the moonlight, her expression seemed to be a smile but not a smile. I was startled, she only knew that I was a fake.So for me, it doesn't matter if I know or not, she said this just to force Princess Lingxuan?

She was going to use one of her secrets to persecute her!
What's the secret?
At this moment, in my capacity, I should cooperate with the host, but seeing Princess Lingxuan's urgency and anxiety, and hearing everything the host said, my heart was already sore, and I shook her hand Said: "Sister, lucky to have you..."

The temple master laughed: "Sister? You call her sister..."

Before she finished speaking, Princess Lingxuan yelled: "Don't..." She straightened up, as if she was about to bounce off the ground, her left hand grabbed my sleeve tightly, There was only a thud, and the sleeve was torn by her.

"Don't forget the bloody case in Qukou Village. If Emperor Wu Chong knew the origin of the bloody case, you would still be in charge of the Cancao Outer Mansion?" Princess Lingxuan finished speaking in one breath, already panting.

Shen Cao Waifu?

She is in charge of Shen Cao's outer palace?I raised my head in disbelief, met the icy gaze of the temple master, then lowered my head again, feeling apprehensive.

I only heard my father occasionally mentioning the actions of Shen Cao's outer mansion in his speech, for example, which important minister in the previous dynasty died inexplicably after surrendering, or which old ministry in the previous dynasty was hidden in the mountains overnight. Suppressed and killed.This is a hidden organization that clears up the old party's influence for Emperor Wu Chong, but he did not expect that it is run by this monk who lived in the old palace of the former dynasty.

No wonder this temple is so rich.

I secretly suppressed the shock in my heart, lowered my head and thought to myself: It seems difficult to escape today.

The temple master said coldly: "Do you think you can go out? Can you see Emperor Wu Chong again?"

"Three caves of the cunning rabbit, I don't know if you have heard this sentence, since we have come here, how can we not have a perfect preparation?" The old man said suddenly.

"Perfect preparations?" The temple master smiled, "Your every move has been in my eyes, Wei Yeyun, you were called a wise fox before the Great Zhou Dynasty, but today is the world of Dingzhou, and you Why do you have to do the dying struggle?"

"You also know that my nickname is Zhihu. The so-called wise people worry too much. You should always think carefully about everything."

It seems that Dad is going to use his trick: I have already told other people your secret, and if something happens to us, your secret will be announced to the world.

But considering how cautious and thoughtful this temple master is in handling things, I feel that this trick is a bit precarious.

"Really?" The temple master smiled and turned to him, "Then tell me, what happened in Qukou Village?"
