Mrs. Ao couldn't help but laugh, "There are people outside the world, and there are mountains outside the mountains. They rely on this kind of trick to deceive people, and they will be exposed sooner or later." After saying this, her face suddenly became serious again, "But you have to be more careful. , the great elder may have secretly poisoned you. Nowadays, almost all the core personnel of the temple have become profit-driven people. Only the second elder is still persisting, but life is getting more and more difficult."

"Thank you, Mrs. Ao, for reminding me. I will definitely be more careful." Bai Ruozhu smiled at Mrs. Ao.

Mrs. Ao raised her hand and touched her head, "Girl, you and I have a close relationship. If you need help with anything, you must tell us that you are the person my mother-in-law has entrusted. The whole Ao family will do their best to help you. help."

Bai Ruozhu also liked this eldest princess who was a little off-kilter from time to time. She smiled at her and said, "Okay, I won't be polite if something happens."

Mrs. Ao felt more favorable to Bai Ruozhu when she saw that Bai Ruozhu spoke and acted openly.

In a blink of an eye, they arrived at the palace gate. The eldest princess entered the palace without any communication. Soon the three of them entered the palace. Mrs. Ao thought for a while and said: "You go to talk to Yingtong first. I will go to see the monarch myself and talk to him first." Talk about it."

"That's fine, Mom, then we'll find Yingtong, and we'll go find you later." Ao Qi said.

After parting ways with Mrs. Ao, Ao Qi saw that there were no outsiders on both sides, so he whispered: "I'm afraid my mother has something to say to the monarch in private."

"Persuade the monarch to make up his mind to fight against the temple?" Bai Ruozhu asked in a low voice.

"How do you know? My mother told me?" Ao Qi asked in surprise.

Bai Ruozhu smiled and said, "No, this will happen sooner or later, and isn't the behavior of the temple becoming more and more excessive?"

Ao Qi laughed and said, "You are my grandma's destined person, so it's not bad. Needless to say, you can think of it. It's just unnecessary for me. It's just that the temple may be more hostile to you."

"It doesn't matter, they have already attacked me once, and they will do it again in the future." Bai Ruozhu immediately told the story about the sudden thunder and rain on the road.

Ao Qi's face instantly turned pale, "You, you mean, it was raining and lightning struck someone suddenly?"

Seeing him like this, Bai Ruozhu thought that the ancients were superstitious and said hurriedly: "There was no lightning or thunder at that time. This was obviously man-made. However, this kind of spell cannot be used often, nor can ordinary people use it. There are even many conditions. can be achieved.”

It took a long time for Ao Qi's expression to return to normal. He lowered his head, with a sense of sadness in his whole body.

"The Qingxuan my father mentioned before was originally the king's favorite concubine and my mother's best friend. She was suddenly struck by lightning on a rainy day and later died." Ao Qi took a deep breath. , "The temple also said at that time that Qingxuan's brother Qinglian had provoked the wrath of the gods, and Aunt Qingxuan herself had blasphemed the gods, which led to the punishment of heaven."

Bai Ruozhu thought of Qingyou Hall, which became a cold palace after that. No one knew the real cause of Qingxuan's death, they just thought she died of illness.

"Actually, you were a little suspicious at first, but there is no evidence. Now you should be able to connect it, right? My guard was deeply burned all over his body. Fortunately, he is a martial arts practitioner and has good health, so he survived by chance. Now he is in the inn, and I am still working hard to treat him, but it is hard to say what will happen in the future," Bai Ruozhu said.

Anger surged in Ao Qi's eyes, "Now it is absolutely certain that they will not allow any doubts or objections."

While the two were talking, they arrived at Princess Yingtong's palace. It happened that Princess Yingtong left the palace to go to the back garden for a walk. She saw the two talking from a distance. Princess Yingtong walked up unhappily and snorted coldly. Said: "You are not here to find me, are you?"

"I'm looking for you in an emergency." Ao Qi calmed down and said.

However, Princess Yingtong suddenly glared at Bai Ruozhu and said, "If you have something to do, there will be something to do. Why are you bringing all these people here? How can I, the majestic princess of the Western Regions, have time to waste time with irrelevant people?"

"Why are you so angry again? It's really urgent today. My mother has already gone to see the king." Ao Qi said with a straight face.

Bai Ruozhu moved as far as possible to the side, putting as much distance between herself and Ao Qi as possible. She was only thinking about asking Princess Yingtong about something, and she forgot about the princess' moodiness, especially when she saw Ao Qi and her. After speaking.

But she was not angry with Princess Yingtong because of this. She had seen too many people who liked to plot and play behind the scenes. Princess Yingtong, who was straightforward and just said a few words, was already very good.

Princess Yingtong's face turned slightly, "Since it's urgent, I won't be acquainted with you. Let's go in and talk."

The three of them returned to the palace, Princess Yingtong retreated, and then Ao Qi told Jiang Yichun that he had been cursed by the Red Lotus Saint.

"Haha, I said that woman is so noble. Didn't she think that your husband was good-looking and she had evil thoughts? Otherwise, she couldn't do anything to you, so she wanted to make you jealous through this matter and create a gap between you and your husband." Princess Yingtong was no longer angry now, and even laughed.

"That's okay. I'm afraid it's a spell that can temporarily control people at certain times. For example, if he suddenly does something for the temple, he's very good at martial arts. If that's the case, our fellow guards might not be able to control him. People can stop him." Bai Ruozhu said worriedly.

Princess Yingtong became serious this time, "Let's go over and see if what you say is possible."

"In addition, there is another thing that I didn't have time to tell Mr. Ao just now. I was led to a remote alley by a mysterious person and found a maid who used to work in the temple. She was hacked without knowing it. I took off one leg and threw it in a mass grave. If I hadn't been lucky enough to survive, I would have died long ago." Bai Ruozhu said again.

"The temple has harmed many people in private, not to mention a maid, even the princess!" Ao Qi said angrily, what he was talking about was exactly what happened to Qingxuan.

"But do you know why she had one of her legs chopped off for no reason?" Bai Ruozhu looked at the two of them, "Yesterday in the temple, you should have heard that Mrs. Yumo's daughter Jin Jing was killed by Sangta's leopard on the way. A leg was bitten off, and they asked me for treatment. Not only did I not save people, I also insulted the temple. But when you saw Jin Jing yesterday, how did she look like she was missing a leg?"

This time Princess Yingtong and Ao Qi both jumped up in shock. Princess Yingtong even grabbed Bai Ruozhu's arm and asked, "Have you seen with your own eyes that one of Jin Jing's legs is completely gone?"

"Not only was it bitten off, but the broken leg was also bitten and deformed, making it impossible to put it back together again!" Bai Ruozhu said with certainty.

Princess Yingtong was still about to speak, but suddenly there was a knock on the door from a female official outside: "Princess, go and see, something has happened to the monarch!"
