Shen Mi and Shen Li's carriage slowly arrived at the foot of Wanfu Temple.

Wanfuji Temple is very popular, with people coming to burn incense in an endless stream.

After the carriage stopped at the foot of the Manpuku-ji Temple, the two sisters drew aside the curtain and got out of the carriage.

"Sister, this road is too narrow, the carriage can't go up."

“We can only walk up.”

Shen Li nodded, looking at the Wanfu Temple on the mountain where smoke was curling up, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly.

"Let's go up and draw a lot, hoping it can protect our Shen family's safety."

"kindness."

Shen Mi obediently took Shen Li's wrist and slowly walked towards Wanfu Temple.

There are many people visiting Wanfuji Temple.

There were countless daughters of noble families and young masters from aristocratic families who came.

When Shen Mi and Shen Li arrived, some gorgeously dressed young ladies and gentlemen walked out of the hall.

In the woods far to the south of Wanfuji Temple, you can vaguely see several neatly dressed guards.

Shen Mi looked around and frowned slightly at the guards.

She looked at Yun Lan and whispered, "Have you arranged everything? I always feel that there is something wrong with the guards in the dense forest."

Yun Lan said, "Don't worry, Miss. The monk has already left. He is not a monk from Wanfu Temple."

Shen Mi nodded, and while holding her wrist, her eyes fell on the guards in the dense forest on the side.

These guards seemed familiar to her, more like people from the palace.

But if someone was coming from the palace, why would the guards go so far to sit in the woods to rest? Could it be that their master was afraid that they would discover something?

The more Shen Mi thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. She vaguely remembered that the queen in her previous life also liked to go to Wanfu Temple.

Moreover, there are once or twice a month, saying that it is to pray for His Majesty and the Crown Prince.

But there is a Buddhist temple in the side courtyard of the imperial palace, where you can pray. Why bother coming to Wanfu Temple?

The Wanfo Temple is quite far from the imperial palace, and the mountain road is difficult to travel.

Why is the queen not afraid of wind and rain, twice a month?

She felt something was wrong and turned her head to look at the looming figure not far away.

"Mi'er, what are you thinking about?"

Shen Li's voice brought Shen Mi back to his senses instantly.

She took a deep breath. "Nothing."

"Sister, I think this Wanfu Temple is not very safe. Let's go back early after we pray."

Shen Mi's voice fell, but Shen Li remained silent.

She pursed her lips and spoke slowly.

"I want to stroll around Wanfu Temple. Anyway, I have taken care of some things in the palace these days, so today is a rare day for me to be free."

"I came here today to discuss important matters with Huai'an."

"Prince Zhang is here too?" she asked.

Shen Li nodded, "I'm here. After I pray, I'll go over and discuss some things with him."

Shen Mi nodded. Since her sister wanted to stroll around Wanfu Temple, she could only wait.

"Okay, sister, I'll listen to you."

The two sisters entered the hall.

Incense was burning in the hall, and in front of the mat was a Buddha statue with a gilded body and kind eyes.

Shen Mi took a few incense sticks, lit them, inserted the incense smoke into the incense burner, and then knelt before the Buddha.

She closed her eyes and shook out a bamboo stick from the bamboo tube in front of her.

The stick fell to the ground, Shen Mi picked it up, and there was a line of words written on it.

'When fate comes, we gather; when fate gathers, we separate.'

She looked at the words on the signature in silence for a while, "When fate comes, we gather, but when fate comes, we separate?"

Holding the bamboo stick tightly in his palm, Shen Mi stood up and walked into the inner room of Wanfu Temple.

In the inner room, an abbot sat in front of a wooden fish, quietly beating it.

The sound of wooden fish rang softly beside her ears. Shen Mi was in a trance for a moment, and thought of a piece of advice given to her by Master Xuanming in her previous life.

'Life is full of ups and downs, it's hard to be a phoenix, turn back in time.'

At that time, she did not understand what Master Xuanming said. It was not until she saw her brother and sister being killed, her children being killed, and herself being imprisoned in a side courtyard of the East Palace that she suddenly realized.

In this life, I don’t know if the abbot can figure out anything.

He walked up to Master Xuanming. "Abbot, I have a lot of doubts now. Can you help me solve them?"

Master Xuanming slowly opened his eyes and looked at Shen Mi for a while with his eyes slightly narrowed.

He reached out to take the sign handed over by Shen Mi, and looked up at Shen Mi again.

"Judging from the girl's appearance, she is an extraordinary person. If she gets help from a noble person, she can soar into the sky."

Shen Mi was slightly stunned, somewhat confused about what the old abbot meant, and then spoke again.

"Noble? What noble?"

Master Xuanming said calmly, "This person is your destiny."

Shen Mi didn't understand what this meant, but she roughly guessed that this noble person was either her uncle Jiang Xuan or the Fourth Master.

She took a deep breath and said, "I have had many dreams. In my dreams, I was in my past life. I still don't understand why I have this life."

The old abbot looked at the bamboo stick in his hand.

"When fate comes, we gather; when fate comes, we disperse."

"The girl's current life is all because of the karma someone created in his previous life, which he exchanged for his life."

He looked at Shen Mi and shook his head helplessly.

Shen Mi was a little puzzled and was about to ask more questions when the old abbot spoke first.

"Although I have started over again, my fate is full of twists and turns. I love you, but everything goes through hardships."

"In the previous life, someone used his life to seek fate, and they will naturally meet in this life."

"However, the girl's future fate will be rough, so she needs to plan carefully."

"Amitabha."

When the old abbot finished speaking, Shen Mi looked at the wooden stick in his hand with slightly cold eyes.

In her previous life, she had a miserable fate and thought that things would be better if she started over again.

Who would have thought that fate had already been determined.

"Fate is rough, two hearts are in love, and everything is difficult."

At this moment, Shen Li came in from the front hall with a bamboo stick.

After she bowed to the old abbot, she handed the bamboo stick in her hand to him.

"Abbot, why does the fortune stick I asked for today only have four words?"

The old abbot looked at the bamboo stick handed over by Shen Li, which had a few words written on it.

'Phoenix in Flight'

He looked up at Shen Li for a while, and finally smiled.

"The girl is born with a phoenix in her destiny, which is a good fate."

"A phoenix is ​​born in your destiny?" Shen Li frowned slightly.

"Old Abbot, what does this mean? Why is there a phoenix in my destiny?"

The old abbot smiled and said, "The girl's life is now determined, so you can wait patiently."

Shen Mi was also confused by the old abbot's words.

If Shen Li is really born with the phoenix in her destiny, it proves that she is a person with the fate of phoenix.

The Imperial Observatory once said that the throne would fall to the women of the Shen family in the future.

Shen Li had always been in poor health and was sickly, but no one ever thought it was her.

If this is the case, then Shen Li will be in danger in the future.

But Shen Li's heart belongs to Zhang Huaian, they are in love with each other and will never marry anyone else in the future.

Thinking of this, Shen Mi politely bowed to the abbot.

"Well, thank you, Abbot."

As she said that, she pulled Shen Li out of the hall.

"Mi'er, what's wrong with you?"

"Did the old abbot say anything about your lot?"

Shen Mi shook her head, "Nothing, just like that."

She looked at Shen Li, "Sister, you are not allowed to tell anyone about the interpretation of the temple today, do you know?"

"The abbot said that you are born with a phoenix in your destiny. If His Majesty and the Queen hear this, who knows what trouble will come out."

Shen Li pursed her lips and smiled, then reached out and pinched Shen Mi's face.

"Silly girl, how could I say that."

"Besides, how can we take what the abbot says seriously?"

"As your elder sister, I just want to live an ordinary life. I don't care about whether I have a phoenix or not."

She looked at Shen Mi and felt a little distressed.

"It's you and King Rui..."

Shen Mi said: "The Fourth Master is fine, nothing will happen."

Shen Li nodded, "That's good."

"Now that we have drawn the fortune sticks and lit the incense sticks, my sister has something important to do, so she may have to go to the South Branch of Wanfuji Temple to take a look."

Shen Mi knew that Shen Li and Zhang Huaian had an appointment, so she nodded.

"Sister, I'll let Yunlan follow you. You go shopping and I'll just walk around."

Shen Li nodded, "Okay, then don't go too far, I'll be back soon."

"kindness."

Watching Shen Li and Yun Lan enter Wanfu Temple, Shen Mi finally took a deep breath and went to the north of Wanfu Temple alone.

To the north of Wanfu Temple, lotus flowers were in full bloom. Shen Mi walked through the Buddhist hall and looked around. He saw some young men and women around who were enjoying the flowers.

She walked slowly north, not noticing anything different.

The guards in the woods to the north clasped their hands together, seemingly waiting patiently for someone.

But, if the Queen came to Wanfu Temple and didn’t stay in the dining hall, where would she go?
