The second prince's eyes were deep, but the smile on his face remained unchanged, "The prefect is really thoughtful..."

As soon as these words were spoken, the minor official behind the prefect collapsed. It was over...all over!

The prefect took a step back and bowed again, but he had not yet realized the deeper meaning of Jiang Yizhou's words.

He thought he had told the truth, and said, "It's unfortunate that your Highness came down. The young lady just left with Lord Wu, the Minister of the Dali Temple, and I'm afraid she has already reached the city gate."

In this way, the Second Prince who came to look for someone was sent away.

The prefect saw him off, with a hint of pride on his face.

He had been an official in Kyoto for half his life, and he didn't even have the chance to attend the morning court. Now if he could make friends with the second prince...

"My lord!"

The minor official behind him wailed, and the prefect's dream was shattered.

He used his wide sleeves to pretend to hit someone, "Why are you howling? Are you trying to scare me to death?"

The little official had a mournful look on his face and whispered, "Sir, we are done!"

It couldn’t be more over!

The prefect frowned, "What's over? Who's over?"

"The Sacred Heart cannot be guessed..."

"Neither can your Highness' heart!"

"You said this to the Second Prince. Aren't you telling him that you have seen through his thoughts long ago?"

Those in power like smart people who can play the fool and know when to play the fool, rather than smart people who are smart in their own eyes!

The prefect's figure swayed, his face turned pale as paper, and he murmured, "It's over... It's really over now..."

After saying this, he closed his eyes and fell backwards.

Less than half an incense stick of time later, the Queen Mother and the Xie family each sent someone to invite Jiang An over.

It’s a pity that they are destined to gain nothing after their arrival!

"come..."

"Miss…"

The last person to arrive was the nanny sent by the concubine to greet Jiang An.

She practically climbed out of the carriage...

After all, she is an old woman. On weekdays, she just serves the Concubine Dowager and doesn't do any heavy work. After today's ordeal, her bones are almost broken!

"Are you here to look for the young lady from the Zhenguo Palace?"

The government official who has received three waves of people said that he is now very familiar with the situation.

He said to the maid in the carriage, "The young lady has already left the city."

"what!"

The dying nanny sat up in shock, her eyes as big as bells.

She slammed the door of the carriage shut and said, "Let's go back to Huguo Temple!"

She was going to go find the Concubine Dowager, and he was going to file a complaint!

Damn it, this is too much of a bully!!

Very good, Jiang An hasn't even entered the Huguo Temple yet, but the feud has already been formed~

Gokokuji Temple is located about twenty miles east of the Kyoto city gate, half hidden on the top of a mountain.

If you look up from the foot of the mountain, you can see the golden top of the temple and hear the sound of bells ringing...

Every time the bell rings, people's minds become peaceful for a moment.

The little girl looked into the distance, somewhat expectantly.

Zhengyan muttered in the back: "I heard that there is a golden statue of Buddha in this temple, which is ten feet tall. It was donated to the temple by the Concubine Dowager one year after she entered the temple."

Jiang An keenly grasped the key words: golden body, ten feet! !

Ouch!

She smiled, looking forward to what to do! !

She leaned down and said to the white tiger's ear: "Big cat, hurry up!"

The white tiger's ears twitched, but it continued to pace leisurely.

"A chicken!"

The white tiger rolled his eyes to the sky, indicating that he couldn't hear.

“Two chickens!”

"Three..."

"Four!"

"Roar!"

The white tiger grinned and said, "You're the one who said this!"

It lowered its body, let out a tiger roar, and rushed forward.

"Miss!"

Behind them, Niang Niang and the others hurriedly rode their horses to chase after her.

The horses neighed and swung their hooves at a run, they wanted to say: You stupid tiger, that's a temple! A temple! !

No meat! !

She lied to you!

From the city gate to the foot of the mountain, the little girl looked up at the steps that looked like a ladder to heaven.

She opened her mouth wide and said very sincerely, "It's so high!"

The white tiger stomped closer, its claws landing on a step, "Roar?"

Will the tiger climb the stairs?

"But do you want to enter the temple?"

There was a little monk standing on the steps, and he seemed to be sweeping the fallen leaves on the steps.

Jiang An looked at him and said, "Yes!"

It's so strange that this person was not afraid at all when he saw the big cat.

The young monk, with his hands clasped together and a bald head, replied, "My lady donor, there is a small path in the back of the mountain where we can lead the tiger up without taking the stairs."

Jiang An: "Big cats can also enter the temple?"

The young monk said: "Amitabha, the national teacher once said that everything in the world can practice Buddhism and naturally enter the realm of enlightenment!"

The little girl smiled, and her bright smile made her more beautiful than anything else.

"Thank you, little monk~"

After saying that, she turned and left with the white tiger.

Instead, the little monk standing on the steps scratched his bald head and murmured in a low voice: "My name is not little monk..."

The road to the back mountain is hidden very well. Without the young monk's guidance, Jiang An and his companions might not be able to find it in a day or two.

It took about two hours to get from the foot of the mountain to the entrance of Huguo Temple...

Jiang An stood on the top of the mountain and looked down. He could see the towering capital city half hidden in the clouds in the distance.

This is not a bad place.

No wonder the Concubine Tai has not yet entered the Buddhist monastery after listening to the bell sounds and the sounds of worshipping Buddha in the Huguo Temple for so many years.

Who can calm down while guarding this huge city every day?

The little girl retracted her gaze and ordered, "Zhengyan, go knock on the door."

"Yes!"

Before the young guard could get close to the gate of the Huguo Temple, the door was opened from the inside.

The person who walked out was not a monk, but a middle-aged general in armor.

The unsheathed sword in his hand pointed directly at Zheng Yan, his expression cold, "Huguo Temple is not accepting pilgrims today, please leave the mountain!"

"Tsk..."

Jiang An, who was standing nearby, looked impatient.

How come after coming to Kyoto, she has to see all kinds of arrogant people all day long?

Jiang An believes that these people need to reflect on themselves!

She also said in a cold voice: "Did I say that I am a pilgrim?"

The general did not retract his sword, but frowned and said, "No matter who you are, you are not allowed to enter..."

"I heard the Imperial Master once say that everything in the world can enter the temple, so why can't it be the case with you?"

Jiang An took a step forward, her expression flamboyant, "May I ask, who has the final say, you or the Imperial Master?"

The general was speechless for a moment.

He is just a small general of low rank, and he can kill many people with one foot in Kyoto.

But there is only one national master in Nan Shang.

In this way, he naturally cannot be compared with the national master.

But will he admit it?

Of course not!

"Bad talk!"

"Today, the Queen Mother is receiving distinguished guests, and she has already issued an order that the Huguo Temple will not accept pilgrims!"

"If you don't come down the mountain, don't blame me for being rude!"
