The sunlight slants across the bluestone pavement of the temple.

The Buddha's face was kind and solemn, with eyes looking down at all living beings. Lu Zhiran knelt in front of the huge Buddha statue, closed his eyes and concentrated, clasped his hands together, and his fingertips gently touched the palms.

Today she is wearing plain clothes, as elegant as a chrysanthemum, forming a peculiar harmony with the solemn and majestic Buddha statue.

"Miss, it's getting late. Shouldn't we go back?"

Zixiang on the side whispered a reminder.

Just then, a breeze blew by, bringing with it a faint scent of sandalwood.

Lu Zhiran gently opened his eyes and saw a wisp of green smoke rising from the incense burner in front of the Buddha statue.

She felt something in her heart, stood up, walked slowly to the incense burner, picked up a stick of incense in both hands, and respectfully inserted it into the incense burner.

"May the Buddha bless this matter to go smoothly."

Lu Zhiran prayed in a low voice, his voice full of piety and expectation.

After doing all this, Lu Zhiran looked at Zixiang, who looked puzzled.

"Miss, why have we come here every day these days? Are you heartbroken by the Marquis and want to become a nun?"

This Fu Yuzhang is also in fits and starts, he is indeed a playboy.

A few days ago, she seemed to be particularly fond of Lu Zhiran, but these past few days, she has not even been seen of him and has been staying in the room of her concubine Zhang Xiangxiu every day.

It just happened to be a coincidence that from then on, my young lady went to this temple every day.

Ever since Lu Zhiran got married, Zixiang has become increasingly unable to see through her.

It's impossible to guess what Lu Zhiran is thinking.

Only if she goes there, I will follow her!

But going to the temple every day might be fine once or twice, but if he came every day, Zixiang would be really worried that Lu Zhiran would want to become a monk.

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

"I'm a little tired of the old lady chatting with me every day, so I just came out to take a break."

Lu Zhiran just found an excuse to get away with it.

After all, she couldn't tell Zixiang that she had forgotten the exact time when the princess had an accident in her previous life, and was afraid of missing it, so she could only come here every day to wait for an opportunity.

Fortunately, Zixiang always has a mysterious trust in Lu Zhiran.

I never doubted the truth of her words.

"That's true, but this old lady is really something. Is it up to us to decide whether the Marquis will come to our house?"

"What's the point of urging us every day!"

Zixiang muttered, her tone full of helplessness.

Lu Zhiran chuckled, took her hand and walked to the temple courtyard, where they sat on a stone bench. The sunlight shone through the treetops onto them, casting a mottled shadow.

"Zixiang, stop complaining. The old man is also anxious to have a grandson." Lu Zhiran consoled, "Besides, we are not much better off in this mansion than in the Lu family."

Zixiang nodded and sighed: "That's right, but sometimes I feel that Miss shouldn't live this kind of life. It should be better. At least the Marquis should respect Madam more."

Lu Zhiran smiled and nodded Zixiang's head.

"You!"

"Don't be too greedy. Now is good enough. Otherwise, if you want too much, you will end up with nothing and it will only add to your sadness."

"Okay, let's go back!"

Lu Zhiran looked up at the sky. It was about this time, so he took his men to try their luck.

See if you can hit it.

The little princess ran away secretly, so she was very low-key, and Lu Zhiran had no way of knowing when she would come to the temple.

Anyway, she brought people with her, so if she encountered bandits bullying people, she would save as many as she could.

……

At the foot of the temple.

Su Ran's heart was beating like a drum. She held the maid's hand tightly. Both of their palms were wet and full of cold sweat.

The bandits in front of him all had ferocious faces, were dressed in tattered clothes, and were holding knives and axes. It was obvious at first glance that they were not good people.

"Hey, look whose daughter this is, she's so pretty."

A bandit leader with a ferocious face came forward, looked at Su Ran and the maid with his thieving eyes, and a malicious smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Judging from the clothes these two people are wearing, they are not ordinary ladies from wealthy families.

As soon as I got down the mountain, I encountered such a big truck.

I really made a fortune this time.

Although Su Ran was afraid, as a member of the royal family, she had her own backbone and could not show weakness easily, otherwise it would humiliate the royal dignity.

She tried to calm down and said to the thieves in a calm and composed voice: "I advise you to let us go, otherwise the consequences of offending me will not be something you can bear."

When the bandit leader heard Su Ran's words, he couldn't help but laugh out loud, as if he had heard something extremely funny.

The minions around him also laughed as if they had seen some funny scene.

Being ridiculed like this, Su Ran's face turned ugly.

These unruly people, when she returns she will make sure her father cuts them into pieces!

"Miss, you probably don't know who we are yet, right? We are the most powerful bandit gang around here. Even the army can't do anything to us. How dare you, a little lady from an aristocratic family, talk big in front of us?"

The bandit leader taunted.

Hearing this, Su Ran's heart sank. These bandits were not ordinary robbers. There might be deeper forces supporting them, otherwise they would not dare to be so arrogant under the feet of the emperor.

How to do!

I originally wanted to come out quietly to ask for a talisman for my fifth brother.

He didn't bring any secret guards or bodyguards.

He only brought a personal maid with him.

Su Ran took a deep breath and tried to keep calm.

She said, "I know you are bandits, but do you know who I am? I am of royal blood, the most beloved little princess of the current emperor. If you dare to hurt me, the royal family will not let you go."

Su Ran naively thought about revealing his identity.

I hope these people won't do anything to her!

As a result, after hearing this, the bandit leader carefully observed Su Ran's attire.

"How do I know if you're a princess? You might be lying!"

Since they don't believe they are princesses.

Su Ran became anxious and quickly took out his identity token from his waist.

"Look, this was given by the current emperor. You can see that I am the most beloved little princess in the world today."

The bandit leader walked closer, took it and took a closer look, and found that it was indeed the princess. After confirming that she was really the princess, the smile on the bandit leader's face became even more ferocious.

He stretched out a hand, gently stroked Su Ran's cheek, and said: "Royal blood? Haha, so what? In this wilderness, who knows what we will do? Even if we kill you, who would know it was us?"

Su Ran was disgusted by his rough hands, but she didn't dare to move and could only suppress the fear and disgust in her heart.

When he heard the bandit leader say this, his eyes widened.

"How can you……"

"What I hate most is the current emperor. If he hadn't been fighting every day, my grandfather and father wouldn't have died on the battlefield..."

The bandit leader became more and more excited as he spoke, with hatred flashing in his eyes.

He grabbed Su Ran fiercely, tied her up with a rope, threw her on the ground, turned around and shouted to the minions behind him: "Brothers, let's do something big today. Tie up this little princess and present her to our boss, so that he can vent his anger!"
