At night, the sky is dark.

The lights in the yard were lit, illuminating the misty sky. The evening breeze swayed the leaves, and numerous shadows floated on the ground.

Jiang Wenyu raised his head and glanced at the bright moon hanging in the sky, then pulled his gaze back and said to Qin Yue:

"Tell him I'm taking a shower and make him wait at the door."

Qin Yue was a little surprised, but still nodded: "Yes."

Since it is at the door, we cannot invite you into the yard and you can only wait outside the yard.

Qinyue put the cloth on the wooden stool and thought about her words. When she walked to the entrance of Zhuxi Courtyard, she saw Xie Zhiwei wearing a flying fish suit and an embroidered spring knife on his waist.

It's really strange for Mr. Xie. In the past few years, when his cousin was nice to him, he ignored her and didn't take it to heart. He frequently ignored her.

Now that his cousin has been out for two or three months, he has become like an infatuated man asking her questions every now and then.

Qin Yue was afraid of the Jin Yiwei in her heart, but her cousin said that people are afraid of officials and officials are afraid of power. If it were other Jin Yiwei, they would say, "Cousin is Master Xie's adopted sister", and they would be afraid of Commander Xie and would not dare to touch her. . If it is a sign of gratitude, it means that the girl is unhappy.

As for why he was unhappy, what Xie Zhiwei was thinking was that Jiang Wenyu knew about his marriage to Li Ruyi, was jealous, and complained angrily to him. Because of this, he used the excuse of returning to Taohua Town to visit relatives and left for a short period of time.

"Thank you, sir." Qin Yue bowed and saluted.

Xie Zhiwei's eyes peered in, but there was no sign of Xiao Qingmei. His eyes flashed with sadness, but his expression was still cold and majestic.

"I heard Yu'er is back, where is she?"

Qin Yue said respectfully: "Thank you, sir. My cousin has traveled a long way back and is exhausted. She is taking a bath and changing. Please thank you, sir, for waiting here for a moment."

Xie Zhiwei frowned upon hearing this.

Waiting here?
  Others have always been waiting for him. When has he ever waited for someone, let alone stood at the door waiting for someone.

"After all, my cousin is a girl who has not left the court. She met an assassin last time. After the officials entered the house and searched without explanation, my cousin stopped letting the man enter the yard." Qin Yue said sincerely, "I hope you will forgive me."

He was assassinated last time.

Xie Zhiwei's face and heart suddenly became less angry.

His innocent and inexperienced Xiao Qingmei must have been extremely scared, yet she was so considerate and forgiving even though she was so scared.

Either way.

Just wait and wait.

Qin Yuexu glanced at Xie Zhiwei, who was standing with his hands behind his back, lowered his head and said, "I'll go back and see if my cousin has any instructions, so I'll leave first."

Xie Zhiwei waved his hand.

Qin Yue walked along the bluestone path, passed through several dense trees, and returned to the front yard. Jiang Wenyu was holding his head on one hand, reading the account book with his head lowered by the candlelight.

Seeing that she was looking at her seriously, Qin Yue didn't bother her and walked into the kitchen. After a while, she came out with a soup cup on a tray.

"Girl, Tremella and Lotus Seed Soup."

The fragrance of white fungus and pear comes to the nose, covering the floral fragrance lingering in the nostrils.

Jiang Wenyu looked away from the dense account books and looked at the white porcelain cup in front of him.

"Cut the upper part of the snow pear, hollow out the pear flesh inside, pour in the white fungus and lotus seed soup, cover the cut pear with a lid, and simmer over a slow fire." Qin Yue said as she scooped a bowl for Jiang Wenyu .

"Girl, try it."

Jiang Wenyu took a spoon and scooped it up. After it cooled down, he put it into his mouth. The sweet and delicious taste filled his throat.

"The heat is just right, not bad." Jiang Wenyu praised.

She glanced at the door of the courtyard and asked, "How about over there?"

Qin Yue said: "Master Xie is still waiting."

"Oh, then let him continue to wait."

Belated affection is cheaper than grass.

He not only wants the power that the princess brings to him, but also wants to be filled with his little childhood sweetheart.

How can there be such a good thing in the world.

Jiang Wenyu took a spoon and ate the white fungus and lotus seed soup slowly. He asked Qin Yue about the situation of the shop and pointed out the problem with the account book.

The candles were brightly lit at night, and the wind carried the sounds of various tiny insects.

A master and a servant sit in the courtyard, talking to each other, and the atmosphere is rare and peaceful.

After a while, Jiang Wenyu stood up, covered his face and yawned.

Seeing that she went back to the house and seemed to be resting, Qin Yue said quickly: "Girl, thank you, sir."

Jiang Wenyu groaned, as if he just remembered that there was such a person: "Tell him to go to Zuixianju tomorrow."

Qin Yue looked worried.

Xie Zhiwei had waited for so long. If he still didn't see Jiang Wenyu, he would probably kill someone.

He is not a good tempered man.

"Afraid of the danger of thanking you?" Jiang Wenyu raised his hand to push down the wind-blown forehead hair and asked her with a smile.

Qin Yue nodded.

There is no one who is not afraid of Jin Yiwei and the King of Hell.

"Don't worry, no matter how angry he is now, he doesn't dare to force himself." Jiang Wenyu comforted him, "Xie Zhiwei's marriage to the Seventh Princess is confirmed, and the good day is approaching. If he is found to have escaped from the girl's boudoir late at night, Li Jingheng will definitely be displeased. "

This is the reason why Xie Zhiwei only dares to stay at the entrance of the courtyard now and does not dare to come in.

If this was reported to the emperor, Xie Zhiwei and Li Ruyi's marriage might be saved, but the emperor would definitely have a grudge.

He believed that Xie Zhiwei was challenging the emperor's majesty.

Power is a good thing, everyone wants it, and everyone is afraid of it.

The girl's clear voice and gentle speaking speed make people convinced.

Qin Yue responded: "Yes."

Jiang Wenyu returned to the dormitory, sat on the huanghuali wood chair, leaned back slightly, lightly clasped the white jade flute with his fingers, lowered his eyes and thought.

Zhong Zibian should have found a way to understand the poison, but he regretted it and refused to tell them.

It was probably Dongfang Quan who said something to him that made him change his mind.

But now Jiang Wenyu had no intention of paying attention to what Dongfang Quan wanted to do.

Once her identity is exposed, many people will come after her.

Zhu Lifeng is in the temple, Dongfang Quan is in the world. And Jiang Wenyu's current location is not in the temple, nor in the world.

The Futian Pavilion token and the former princess both represent danger.

There are a few old naughty boys in Futian Pavilion who will not only refuse to obey, but will even chase her for power. The royal family of Dongyao Kingdom will definitely chase her after they find out that she is still alive.

Whether it's for hatred or power, there are people in the world and temples who want her life.

If you don't want to live in fear for the rest of your life, there is only one option.

Futian Pavilion must be in charge.

The country of Dongyao is about to perish.

Now besides killing Zhu Lifeng to avenge Bai Zi, Jiang Wenyu had two more things to do.
-
  The next day, the door of the dormitory was opened from the inside, and the morning light shone brightly on the girl's energetic face.

Qin Yue, who was standing in the yard, turned around and was stunned by the scene in front of her. Before she could speak, she listened to Jiang Wenyu's instructions:
  "Prepare the carriage and go to Jingci Temple."

Qin Yue subconsciously agreed. When the carriage was ready and Jiang Wenyu lifted up his skirt and got on the carriage, she remembered:
  "Girl, didn't you make an appointment with Master Xie to Zuixianju at noon?"

I definitely won’t be able to make it back in time after I go to Jingci Temple at noon.

Jiang Wenyu: "Oh, congratulations to him, he was let go."

Qinyue: "..."

It’s easy to break the appointment confidently.

Qin Yue was about to cry but had no tears, but then she thought that her cousin gave Mr. Xie the opportunity to eat a large table of food by himself, and Mr. Xie should be grateful.

My cousin is really a girl who doesn’t care about past grudges!

The carriage went straight to Jingci Temple.

At noon that day, in addition to Mr. Xie sitting in Zuixianju with a gloomy face, there was also someone who climbed over the wall into the Su Mansion with a snack box, but met an empty prince.

The people in the Su family paid no attention to this cheap girl. Only the Chun family would care about her.

Mrs. Chun immediately relaxed after hearing that Jiang Wenyu went to a temple.

Amitabha, my gentle and harmless cousin is climbing the stairs again.

When Jiang Wenyu arrived at Jingci Temple, Abbot Hongguang was busy, so Ming'an received her.

Ming'an enthusiastically took her to have a meal.

Since there was no oil or water at all, Jiang Wenyu reluctantly took a few bites and then stopped using his chopsticks.

Sure enough, not everyone can become an enlightened monk.

She couldn't eat it.

Ming'an held a lush bonsai and sat at the stone table chatting with Jiang Wenyu.

"Miss Jiang, have you seen your senior brother again?"

Jiang Wenyu put one hand on the stone table and rested his chin on the elbow of the other. Hearing this, his eyebrows slightly curved: "We met not long ago."

Ming'an's eyes moved from Guanyin grass to her. The young man's pure eyes were full of sincerity: "Is senior brother still alive?"

Jiang Wenyu smiled and said, "It's alive."

Ming'an breathed a sigh of relief and continued to work on the bonsai with his head lowered. He said in a regretful tone: "Senior brother has not been to the temple for two months, and no one has lost his bonsai."

"You can pick it up yourself." Jiang Wenyu reached out and tapped the green leaves of the bonsai.

Ming'an shook his head: "No, monks are compassionate, and grass is also a kind of life."

Jiang Wenyu laughed silently: "Then I can help you collect it?"

Ming'an still shook his head: "Senior brother said that we can no longer order Miss Jiang to do things, otherwise he will tear off my head and beat it like a wooden fish."

Jiang Wenyu rolled his eyes: "How long have you known your senior brother?"

"When I was three years old, I was picked up by my senior brother." Ming'an thought for a while and said, "Twelve years ago."

When Ming An was three years old, Tan Shu must have been in his early ten years.

Jiang Wenyu thought deeply and asked, "What kind of person is your senior brother?"

Ming'an raised his head and looked at the curious girl in confusion.

Jiang Wenyu held his face in his hands, with a soft smile in his black eyes: "In your heart, what kind of person do you think the Crown Prince is?"

Ming'an said: "Senior brother is a weird person."

Jiang Wenyu chuckled softly when he heard this, put down an arm on the stone table, and tapped the table with his fingers.

"What a weird method?"

Ming'an put the bonsai in his arms aside, sat upright and said: "Senior brother, sometimes he is very good to me, sometimes he is very bad to me, and sometimes he is half nice and half bad to me."

"Why is it half good and half bad?" Jiang Wenyu listened carefully and asked a question.

"I like to run out of the temple to play, but I don't like to do hard work." Ming'an cried. "Senior brother obviously knew it, but he still took me by the collar and threw me into a flood-stricken place, and didn't care about my food."

It was really hard for the young monk to be homeless at a young age.

Jiang Wenyu pretended to be annoyed and said: "He is too bad regardless of eating!"

"Yes!" Ming'an nodded, then shook his head, "Actually... senior brother is not that bad, just a little bit bad."

He looked like a senior brother who is just a little bit bad and can't be any more.

Very much like Tan Shu's fear of revenge.

Jiang Wenyu smiled.

"Miss Jiang, senior brother is a very good person." Ming'an looked at Jiang Wenyu with a pair of clean eyes, "Although he is hateful most of the time, he is sincere to people."

Jiang Wenyu was stunned for a moment, and after a while, she said, "I know."

Tan Shu is very strong emotionally, and once he is interested, he can risk his life to save someone.

Four moments later.

Abbot Hongguang invited Jiang Wenyu to the Zen courtyard to drink tea and play chess.

He brewed tea methodically and poured a cup for Jiang Wenyu. It was still the same tea as last time, with a bitter taste mixed with mist.

Jiang Wenyu thanked him and took the tea, placing it on his right hand side without drinking it.

Abbot Hongguang glanced at her and was not surprised, but when his eyes fell on her eyebrows, he found that the girl's confusion and sadness had disappeared.

His facial features are smart and well-behaved, and his whole body is full of tenacity and vitality that cannot be concealed.

Like a sunflower, growing against the sun.

No - she is both a sunflower and sunshine.

Jiang Wenyu looked at the macro abbot in front of him. He was not wearing a gorgeous cassock, but only a simple cloth. The wrinkles on his face were very deep, but it made people feel that he was full of compassion for the common people.

There was a chessboard placed between the two of them. Abbot Macro picked up the chess piece with his skinny fingers and dropped it on the chessboard. Jiang Wenyu also lowered his head and played with him with the chess pieces.

Jiang Wenyu glanced at him and chuckled: "The abbot's chess skills match the tea."

It's just as miserable.

Abbot Hongguang raised his old eyes and landed on Jiang Wenyu's eyebrows: "I have little talent and little knowledge, so I can't compare to the noble man."

"I don't dare to be a noble person." Jiang Wenyu's clear and melodious voice sounded respectful, "I came here to ask the abbot a few questions."

Abbot Hongguang: "Miss Jiang, please speak."

Jiang Wenyu asked directly: "Do you know Bai Zi?"

"I would rather have broken jade than complete tiles." Abbot Hongguang's voice was rich and kind, "That's what the White Queen is like."

There was silence in the meditation room for a while.

Jiang Wenyu raised his eyes, his eyes still bright as he reflected the straight bamboo forest outside the window, "There are two things in the world that are uncontrollable, one is love, and the other is the overall situation."

"Bai Zi died at the hands of these two things. Her beloved Majesty chose to die, leaving her to suffer alone. Her apprentice saw the overall situation clearly and took advantage of it to force her to death."

"Does the abbot know what the last words Bai Zi said to me were?"

Without waiting for Abbot Macro's reply, Jiang Wenyu said: "Whether she is stupid or foolish, the most important thing is to live well. The world may be difficult, but life is your own."

"Do you think she really wants to be a jade?"

Abbot Macro's hand strung with Buddhist beads gently turned the beads, his usually slightly lowered eyebrows were raised, and his eyes that were not cloudy looked directly into the girl's calm eyes.

"What Miss Jiang said is correct. There are people in the world who bring trouble to the world just for the sake of beauty. There are also beauties who are willing to kill innocent souls for the sake of the world's well-being. In troubled times, there are countless loyal people who have died in vain. They are willing to die on the battlefield for their sake. It’s about giving future generations a chance in life.”

"The White Queen has not forgotten to pay attention to the safety of the world in the remote rivers and lakes, and she is concerned about the people of Li in the court."

If you live high in a temple, you worry about the people, and if you live far away from the rivers and lakes, you worry about your ruler.

A long time ago, Futian Pavilion was full of such a group of people.

"Above the temple, rotten trees serve as officials, and between the palaces, animals and beasts eat their salaries. The imperial court is rotten, and those who are no better than animals serve as officials and eat the salaries of the court. People with wolf-hearted and dog-like behavior are menacing in the court, and they are servile and servile. The disciples have been adhering to the government one after another. As a result, the country has turned into ruins, and the people have suffered from desolation."

""Shang Shu" said, 'The human heart is dangerous, but the Taoist heart is subtle; the essence is only one, and it is allowed to reach the center'. The human heart is dangerous and unpredictable, and the Taoist heart is subtle and difficult to understand. Only by practicing the Zhongzheng way with one heart and one mind can we govern. Good country.”

"The White Queen and Emperor Lu understand this. Although they were defeated by the general trend of the world, it was precisely because of their great kindness and righteousness that the displaced people were safe and stable. It was precisely because of generations of loyal heroes that we ushered in the new era. A stable world."

Jiang Wenyu stared at the eminent monk in front of him with his apricot eyes, and slowly rubbed the chess pieces with his fingertips.

She said: "Buddhism emphasizes the equality of all living beings, but why should great love and righteousness come first and small love and righteousness come last?"

"The reason why Bai Zi asked Bai Qiong not to miss or return was because she felt she owed Bai Qiong. Bai Zi chose righteousness and abandoned small righteousness, allowing Bai Qiong to witness her and Lu Zhan's death. Her last wish was to let Bai Qiong Live a good life, what a ridiculous thing, but what’s even more ridiculous is that Bai Qiong actually agreed to her.”

"Does the abbot think Bai Zi's last wish is Bai Qiong's hope? No, on the contrary, it is Bai Qiong's shackles, the shackles that trap Bai Qiong in the human world."

Speaking of this, her voice was still calm and waveless, but her eyes were a little more silent.

"Without memory of those years, my life was all white, and I thought everyone and everything was good. Now that I have recovered my memory, what color do you think my life is?"

"Black and white. I can tell whether it is malice or kindness, but I don't know who is the enemy and who is the friend, because people's hearts are fickle. The person who is trying his best to save you one moment may kill you the next moment."

The world is not black and white, it is ever-changing.

She only believes in herself.

"What people live for is a thought, health, happiness, wealth, power. It is because of thoughts that people have the courage to live." Abbot Hongguang picked up the tea with a pleasant face, took a sip and put it down, " Miss Bai Qiong didn’t think about it, but did Miss Jiang?”

Jiang Wenyu was silent for a long time. Just when Abbot Hongguang thought she would not answer, he heard the girl's firm voice——

"Have."

Hearing this, Abbot Hongguang's eyes full of wisdom and compassion showed another emotion.

Moved.

I was moved by the girl's tenacity and rational answer.

Bai Zi and Lu Zhan, one cruelly chose to sacrifice for the sake of the world, and the other weakly chose to be buried because of the world. They are a good queen and a good emperor, but they are not a good pair of parents.

They can die for the world, but they cannot live for their own daughter alone.

Bai Qiong may be as silent as the dead sea, but Jiang Wenyu is definitely not at the mercy of others.

No one can stop the girl from moving forward firmly.

No one can take away what belongs to her.

Although there was no clear conclusion in the exchange of words, each other already understood it in their hearts.

Abbot Hongguang smiled, picked up a chess piece between his fingers, and put it down gently: "The game of chess is ever-changing, and everything in the world has not yet been determined. Miss Jiang, don't worry too much."

When Jiang Wenyu heard this, he twisted the black chess piece with his delicate white fingers, his eyes as bright as paint filled with a smile:

"If I remember correctly, the abbot said last time that everything in the world is fixed and told me not to worry too much."

"Everything depends on man-made efforts. Your direction is determined." Abbot Hongguang said slowly, "In the four directions of heaven and earth, only the heart is unbreakable."

Jiang Wenyu was thoughtful. After a moment, she stood up from the chair and bowed obediently and solemnly to Abbot Macro:

"Jiang Wenyu thanks the abbot for his teachings. I have an unkind request. I would like to stay in the temple for three to five days. I wonder if the abbot can make it easier for me?"

Abbot Hongguang raised his wrinkled eyelids and looked over, nodded and said, "That's exactly what I meant."

Jingci Temple has private rooms specifically for guests offering incense, but the number is relatively small. Generally speaking, these rooms are only for relatives of the emperor.

Ming An likes girls who are gentle, beautiful, and can attract lucky birds.

When he heard that Jiang Wenyu was going to stay in the temple for a few more days, he immediately went to prepare the side room happily.

Ahhh, the lucky bird is waving to him! ! ! -
  In the evening, Xiao Yuansong ran to Wuhou Mansion to look for his friends to have wine and have fun, but there was no sign of his friends.

Instead, he caught his friend's wooden secret guard.

Xue Wuya was hitting walnuts with a gold and jade pillow. Xiao Yuansong grabbed him by the back of his collar and asked, "Why are you here and brother Chang Wang not?"

Xue Wuya said dullly: "Master said that when he stays with his cousin, he doesn't need me to follow him."

"Cousin?" Xiao Yuansong's mind was in a trance for a moment, "Oh! He went to find Miss Jiang Jiang. When did he go?"

Xue Wuya: "Noon time."

Xiao Yuansong looked at the sky reddened by the sunset and said in shock: "It's been a day and you haven't come back yet!?"

Xue Wuya nodded blankly.

"Let's go." Xiao Yuansong had a bad feeling and grabbed Xue Wuya, "Let's join in the fun."

Xue Wuya scratched his head.

I don’t understand what’s so interesting about the excitement.
-
  Su Mansion, Zhuxi Courtyard.

The strange grasses and fairy vines along the wall become greener as the weather gets colder, and the vines and vines along the wall are decorated with bonsai, wisteria and green bamboo.

There is a large area of ​​flowers of different colors and shapes planted in the front yard. When they are in full bloom, their fragrant fragrance permeates every part of the yard.

Tan Shu put his hands behind his head and lay lazily on the tree. Suddenly he heard some movement. He opened his eyes and looked down.

Not the one you were waiting for.

Xiao Yuansong stood under the tree, looked up at his best friend, and exclaimed:

"Oh my God, Brother Changwang has become a widow before he even got married?"

Tan Shu squinted at Xue Wuya, who was hiding in the far eaves and eating melon seeds, and roughly guessed what was going on.

"Brother Changwang, it's not like you to sit back and wait." Xiao Yuansong sighed.

Tan Shu could check Jiang Wenyu's whereabouts, but given her cautious temperament, she might be suspicious.

He didn't want her to doubt him.

Tan Shu was too lazy to pay attention to Xiao Yuansong, changed into a comfortable position, and continued to wait for others.

At this time, footsteps came from the stone path. Xiao Yuansong looked over and saw that it was not Jiang Wenyu, but a little girl who was walking faster and in a hurry.

Before Xiao Yuansong could speak, a shadow passed above him, and in the blink of an eye, Tan Shu had landed smoothly in front of Qin Yue.

"Where is Jiang Wenyu?"

Qin Yue thought it was unbelievable that her cousin went to Jingci Temple and stayed directly in the temple, but didn't come back. She didn't expect that there was something even more unbelievable.

Man from heaven.

Qin Yue took a few steps back in panic: "You...who are you?"

"Where's Jiang Wenyu?" Tan Shu had never been patient when asking questions. At this moment, his eyebrows became colder and colder, and he felt extremely oppressive.

The handsome man in front of her was too aggressive. Qin Yue felt anxious in her heart and forced herself to calm down: "...I don't know."

"You cannot torture girls to extract confessions, you must treat them gently." Xiao Yuansong approached with a folding fan and said gently and politely, "Hello, girl, I am Xiao Yuansong from the General's Mansion. We are very close to Miss Jiang Jiang. It’s cooked, don’t worry. Can you tell us where Miss Jiang Jiang is?”

Qin Yue: "No."

Xiao Yuansong: "..."

Xiao Yuansong: "Consider it again?"

Qin Yue hesitated, "Is it really the General's Mansion?"

Xiao Yuansong took out the sign from his pocket, "Look! It's guaranteed to be genuine!"

Qin Yue glanced at it and said in horror: "Kill?"

Xiao Yuansong glanced at the thing in his hand and said, "Sorry, I got the wrong one. This is a dead card for ordering beheading."

Qin Yue: "......"

Behead... behead someone? ! ! !
  Xiao Yuansong dug around left and right, and took out the token engraved with the word "General", "It's true this time. We have no ill intentions towards Miss Jiang Jiang, we are just a little worried. Didn't she just come back yesterday? Why?" You disappeared today? Could it be that you are in danger?"

Qin Yue saw that he didn't look like a bad person when he was chattering, and knowing that her cousin came back yesterday, she was worried about her cousin, so she shouldn't be a bad person.

He was probably the man who attended the spring banquet last time and fell in love with his cousin.

She thought for a while and then said: "My cousin is doing some spiritual practice at Jingci Temple these days. I'll come back and pack a few changes of clothes for her."

Jingci Temple?

Xiao Yuansong waved his hand: "Thank you, go do your thing, I won't disturb you."

Qin Yuexu glanced at them and ran into the house very quickly as if there were evil spirits chasing behind him.

Xiao Yuansong knocked on his forehead with the folding fan, looked at Tan Shu who was breathing coldly at the side, and shouted: "Oh my God, why didn't Brother Changwang go to be tonsured and become a monk? Why is it our bright and lovely Miss Jiang Jiang? That's right? Could it be that you were forced to become a monk by Brother Changwang? Because you didn’t want to get married, so you chose to become a monk.”

"Between getting married and becoming a monk, I chose to become a monk." Xiao Yuansong laughed, "Wise choice!"

Tan Shu: "..."

You have to find an opportunity to beat this sick boy.

However, Jiang Wenyu suddenly went to Jingci Temple and stayed there for a while, which was beyond Tan Shu's expectation.

If the person who abducted Jiang Wenyu was a person, he could still settle the score, but it happened to be an illusory Buddha.

Since Jiang Wenyu is not at Zhuxi Courtyard and will not come back in the short term, Tan Shu has no need to continue to stay here.

He was about to leave when he suddenly heard a surprised question:
  "Why are you in Yu'er's yard?!"

Tan Shu turned around, and sure enough, he saw the gloomy Xie Zhiwei.

Xie Zhiwei waited from noon to afternoon in Zuixianju. As a result, the day lilies were cold and he couldn't even see a hair on Xiao Qingmei's head.

So, he rushed straight to the Su Mansion full of displeasure. Seeing that he was not worried, the servant did not dare to stop him.

Who would have thought that instead of seeing Xiao Qingmei, she saw her mortal enemy.

Tan Shu said with a casual smile: "There is no need to report everything about Jiang Wenyu and I to Mr. Xie, right?"

His slightly raised eyes were naturally a bit scornful, and they looked quite provocative at the moment.

Xie Zhiwei had blue veins bulging on his forehead and his face was covered with a layer of frost. He said in a cold voice, "Where is Yu'er?"

"It's not your turn to take care of where she is." Tan Shu said harshly in a leisurely manner, "The seventh princess's consort spends all day wandering in front of the little girl's yard. Does Li Jingheng know that you are begging like a dog? "

The tone was full of ridicule.

Xie Zhiwei remembered what happened at the tea shop last time, looked at Tan Shu with disgust for a moment, and asked, "Do you like Yu'er?"

Tan Shu glanced at Xie Zhiwei contemptuously, "So what, do you have any opinion?"

Xie Zhiwei was startled and said angrily: "No!"

Tan Shu: "Are you worthy of saying no to me?"

Xie Zhiwei gritted his teeth and stared into Tan Shu's dark eyes. For a moment, he said triumphantly: "You are just relying on your status as the eldest son of Lord Wu. Why do you think you can be worthy of our childhood sweethearts for ten years?"

Even if you like Yu'er, so what, Yu'er will never like you!

Absolutely not!

Tan Shu sneered, "You are a piece of shit."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Zhiwei's eyes flashed fiercely and he hurried forward. He stretched out his right hand and grabbed Tan Shu's shoulder with his ten fingers like bird's claws.

Xie Zhiwei's attack was fierce. While Tan Shu dodged to the side, he quickly struck out, his long finger passing three inches in front of Xie Zhiwei's face. The strong wind was fierce.

"The fight is on! The fight is on!" Xiao Yuansong waved to Xue Wuya excitedly, "Xue Muya, give me a handful of melon seeds, hurry up!"

Xue Wuya jumped down from the eaves, ran over, stuffed a handful of melon seeds into Xiao Yuansong's hands, climbed up the eaves again, and hid in the dark to watch the show.

Tan Shu raised his right hand diagonally, made a small circle with his left hand, turned his fingers abruptly, and controlled Xie Zhiwei's arm with his backhand.

Seeing this, Xie Zhiwei struck out with his feet. While Tan Shu was avoiding, his upper body leaned back and broke free from the restraints.

Xie Zhiwei attacked with all his strength, Tan Shu was really good at martial arts, and his moves were cruel and clever.

After a moment of fierce fighting, Tan Shu's figure was still very stable, but Xie Zhiwei had obviously lost.

Tan Shu swung out his left fist, and the punch was so fierce that Xie Zhiwei couldn't dodge, staggered, and almost fell down.

At this moment, Tan Shu took advantage of his attack and flew out a kick with great force.

With a bang, Xie Zhiwei was kicked out of the yard. His left arm hit a sharp stone, blood overflowed, and he was in a mess.

Xie Zhiwei felt dizzy for a while. He endured the numbness and pain and put his hand on his lips. He saw blood on the back of his hand. He glared at Tan Shu who walked out leisurely with an angry look.

"Xie Zhiwei." Tan Shu looked at him coldly with an arrogant expression, "You are no match for me at all."

Before Xiao Yuansong finished cracking the melon seeds, they finished beating them.

Tsk, it's boring.

He looked at Tan Shu's tall figure, and then at Xie Zhiwei's pale green face.

Xiao Yuansong took out a few taels of broken silver from his arms, walked to Xie Zhiwei in a few steps, squatted down, and placed them in front of Xie Zhiwei.

"Thank you, Sir. Brother Chang Wang is right. You should stop begging in front of the little girl. If you want money, go to the General's Mansion!"

After saying this, Xiao Yuansong immediately jumped up and caught up with Tan Shu in despair, fearing that Xie Zhiwei would get up and hit him.

The three of them jumped up the high wall with light skills and landed on the ground neatly.

Xiao Yuansong said in hindsight: "Brother Chang Wang and Xie Zhiwei are fighting. If you think about it with your toes, you know that Brother Chang Wang will definitely win!"

Xue Wuya looked at him sideways and said calmly: "But you just made it clear that you wanted the master to be severely beaten."

Xiao Yuansong: "..."

Xiao Yuansong: "Nonsense! How could I say such a thing! Brother Chang Wang is my best friend!"

The trembling General Xiao glanced at his best friend, but Tan Shu was preoccupied with thinking about some bald man who was not afraid of death and kidnapped Jiang Wenyu, and ignored him completely.
-
  After Qin Yue packed up the items assigned by her cousin, she opened the door and took a look outside.

Nobody.

Qin Yue breathed a long sigh of relief and walked out with her baggage on her back. Unexpectedly, she was stopped by someone.

Xie Zhiwei covered his injured arm, his face was extremely ugly, and he asked her in a sinister tone: "Where is Yu'er?"

Qinyue trembled and said: "Thank you, sir. My cousin is praying at the temple."

Unexpected answers.

Xie Zhiwei was stunned.

However, fortunately, he was not taken away by Tan Shu.

Xie Zhiwei: "Who did Yu'er pray for? Why did she suddenly go to the temple without saying a word?"

Qin Yue repeated what Jiang Wenyu told her: "My cousin said she wanted to pray for the people she cares about. As for why...this..."

Seeing her hesitating, Xie Zhiwei's expression became even colder: "Speak directly."

Qin Yue said: "My cousin said that she forgot to make an appointment with Mr. Xie to go to Zuixianju."

When Jiang Wenyu was a child, he often forgot about things and things, so Xie Zhi was worried.

Pray for the people you care about... Could it be that when Yu'er saw that he was getting married, she became disheartened and decided to become a nun?

Thinking about this, Xie Zhiwei felt happy and sad at the same time.

Fortunately, Jiang Wenyu cared about him, not Tan Shu.

The sad thing is, why did he only realize now that he likes Xiao Qingmei.

But fortunately, it's not too late. As long as Li Jingheng successfully seizes power and is granted the title of Prince Xie Zhiwei, he can promise Xiao Qingmei the position of concubine!

Xie Zhiwei thought of Tan Shu's words just now and laughed mockingly.

There is no way Yu'er will fall in love with someone else!
  She will definitely wait for him!
  As for today’s injuries, they will definitely be repaid twice as much in the future!
  The future will come soon.

  Jiang Wenyu chose to live in Jingci Temple for a while, not because of the so-called blessing, nor to cultivate his character before tempering.

She had already received a reply to the message she had asked Quartz to send to Mr. Guan using a falcon.

Some things cannot be borrowed from others.

There were not many birds in Su Mansion. If she used falcons to convey messages in Su Mansion, it would inevitably scare others, so she focused on Jingci Temple where there were flocks of auspicious birds flying around.

And according to her observation, Jingci Temple also has a special feature: it is heavily guarded and the killers can hardly get in.

No wonder Tan Shu chose to live here when he had no inner strength.

Quiet and safe, it's an ideal place to plot.

But...there's a big problem.

The food here is really unpalatable!

So, in the middle of the night, Jiang Wenyu tossed and turned in bed for the first time because of hunger. She pulled the quilt and covered her head.

Maybe she wouldn't be hungry if she fell asleep, but she couldn't sleep.

Finally, Jiang Wenyu got up from the bed and searched the side room.

As expected of a temple wing, there is nothing.

Hell is empty, hungry ghosts are in the temple.

Jiang Wenyu took a few sips of tea, but it was tasteless. She still wanted fragrant meat and sweet and glutinous pastries.

Just when she decided to self-hypnotize herself and said, "I am so stuffed to death" and got into bed, an extremely soft knock on the door rang in her ears.

Jiang Wenyu turned his head and saw a tall figure reflected in front of the door.

Kind of familiar.

She was stunned for a moment, then slowly walked over and opened the door.

Tan Shu only knocked briefly, and then leaned lazily by the door, hoping in his heart, thinking repeatedly whether she would come out.

The girl never seemed to let him down.

The stars were shining brightly outside, and the first quarter moon crescent hung in the sky.

The door slowly opened from the inside, and the bright moonlight spilled into the room, falling on her feet, body, and face.

Tan Shu lowered his eyes and looked at the girl bathed in the moonlight, as if covered with a layer of soft light, and suddenly felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart.

Satisfaction like never before.

Novel, joyful, addictive.

He looked at her quietly, letting the feeling of satisfaction bury him.

After seeing the person coming clearly, Jiang Wenyu looked surprised and shouted in a sweet voice: "Your Majesty!"

"Supper." Tan Shu shook the brocade box in his hand, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with a hint of willfulness and publicity at the end of his slightly hooked eyes, "Would you like to eat?"

1. "Above the temple, rotten wood serves as an official, and between the palace and the emperor, animals eat and drink."

From Romance of the Three Kingdoms

2. "If you live high in a temple, you will worry about your people; if you live far away from the rivers and lakes, you will worry about your ruler."

From "The Story of Yueyang Tower"

3. "The human heart is only dangerous, the Taoist heart is only weak; the essence is only one, and it is allowed to hold on to the center."

From "Shangshu"
