The legitimate daughter is reborn and the fake Bai Lian is completely panicked

Shen Mi looked at Shen Li's expression and felt it was a little strange.

"Sister, what happened?"

"Why are you so flustered?"

"You went to the south of Manpuku-ji Temple. Did something happen?"

Shen Li's body was trembling slightly and he couldn't speak clearly.

She looked at Shen Mi with a pleading look.

"Mi'er, let's go. We won't come to this place anymore."

"This place is not clean, don't come here again."

The more Shen Li said this, the weirder Shen Mi felt. What was going on with Shen Li?

Could it be that she saw something she shouldn't have seen in the south?

For example, the Queen?

She reached out and grabbed Shen Li's wrist, pulling her to a deserted place.

Shen Li was still trembling all over, and looked at Shen Mi tremblingly.

Shen Mi said calmly, "Sister, what happened?"

"If you don't tell me today, I'll go to the south and take a look."

As Shen Mi spoke, she lifted her skirt and prepared to walk south. But before she had taken two steps, Shen Li immediately reached out and grabbed her sleeve, pulling her back.

"Mi'er, don't go."

"If you want the Shen family to be well, don't go to the south of Wanfu Temple."

Shen Mi turned and looked at Shen Li, "So, what is to the south of Wanfu Temple?"

Seeing that Shen Mi was too persistent, Shen Li could only tell her what she saw.

"I...I saw the Duke and the Queen, they were lying on the same bed."

"Besides, the prince... is..."

Shen Li's words stopped abruptly, and her face looked very panicked.

She grabbed Shen Mi's wrist.

"Mi'er, this matter must not be disclosed to anyone, including the Fourth Master."

"When I escaped just now, the Queen seemed to have noticed some clues. I was afraid that she would find out that it was me."

"If she knew it was me, I would definitely die miserably."

Shen Mi couldn't believe his ears.

Is it true that Duke Lin and the Queen are having an affair?

No wonder the Queen asked the guards and palace maids to wait in the woods in the north, for she was afraid that the guards would discover the affair.

No wonder, no wonder she always felt that the prince's features were very similar to those of the Duke.

In the previous life, was it because of this that the prince wanted to kill Jiang Xuan?

Now that we know this secret, it seems more likely that we will be able to bring down the Queen and the Crown Prince.

Shen Mi's eyes changed slightly and she looked at Shen Li.

"Sister, do you know where the two of them are in the bedroom?"

Shen Li frowned.

"What does Mi'er want to do? Don't interfere in the affairs of the royal family."

"If you are not careful, the Shen family will be in trouble."

"Sister, I know."

Shen Mi naturally understood, but Shen Li had already alerted the enemy.

The Duke and the Queen should have noticed something as well.

If she doesn't do something today, it will be even more difficult to expose their affair.

"Sister, if you say so, Mi'er will act carefully."

Shen Li was afraid that Shen Mi would take risks, so she was unwilling to speak.

But Shen Mi has a stubborn temper. If I don't tell her, she might go to the south side alone and cause even bigger trouble.

Thinking of this, Shen Li could only tell Shen Mi the place.

There is still an endless stream of pilgrims coming and going at Wanfuji Temple.

Shen Mi looked calm and helped Shen Li walk towards the front yard of Wanfu Temple.

She looked at the pilgrims coming and going to burn incense and an idea came to her mind.

She ordered Bai Xue, "Help my sister down the mountain. I'll tell Yun Lan a few words and then follow."

Bai Xue nodded, steadied the still trembling Shen Li, and walked down the mountain.

After taking two steps, Shen Li turned around and looked at Shen Mi.

"Mi'er, what do you want to do?"

"Think it over carefully, and be sure to consider the Shen family. Don't do anything foolish."

Shen Mi smiled calmly, "Sister, I understand."

"You go first, I'll be there soon."

Shen Li was worried about Shen Mi, fearing that she would get into trouble.

"Okay, I'll wait for you at the foot of the mountain."

"If you don't come, I won't leave."

After Shen Li left, Shen Mi took Yun Lan to an empty corner.

Yun Lan saw that Shen Mi was thinking about something, so she spoke first.

"Miss, what can I do for you?"

Shen Mi's face was calm as she leaned over to whisper in Yun Lan's ear.

"There are a lot of fragrant oils in the side hall of Wanfu Temple. I will go with you."

"That's just right, let's start a big fire..."

Yun Lan frowned slightly, and after listening to Shen Mi's explanation, she nodded immediately.

"Yes, miss"

……

The south side of Manpuku-ji Temple is eerily quiet.

The halls in a row were all empty, except for the private room at the southernmost end, where two people were sitting.

Duke Lin handed a pearl hairpin to the Queen, his eyes somewhat dim.

"Do you know whose hairpin this is?"

"Just now you said there was someone outside the bedroom, so I went out to look for him and found him."

"But I searched around and didn't see anyone. I guess he must have fallen behind before."

The queen took the hairpin and took a look at it. It was aqua blue in color and judging by its condition, it must have been bought not long ago.

She raised her eyes and looked at Lord Lin, "Are you sure you didn't see anyone when you went out just now?"

Duke Lin nodded, "No one."

The queen's eyes turned slightly cold as she placed the hairpin on the table beside her. Her expression was as calm as water, yet it made people feel gloomy.

"Whose hairpin it is? Take it to the shops in Yanjing and ask them and you'll know."

"If anyone knows my secret, I will make her suffer a fate worse than death."

Duke Lin helped the queen up from the bed, "It's getting late now."

"If you go back later, the one in the palace will be suspicious again."

"As long as Prince Rui and that guy die, and Jing'er ascends the throne, you and I can live happily ever after."

The queen stood up with a smile on her face. She was naked and felt a little unhappy when she looked at the scattered clothes on the ground.

"We only see each other twice a month, and I am really upset that you have to fawn over that person when you go back."

"He now favors Consort Shu alone and has long forgotten me."

"He made Jing'er the crown prince just to check and balance Murong Che."

The Duke got up from the bed, bent over to pick up a piece of clothing from the ground, and slowly walked in front of the Queen.

"What are you afraid of? Just let him favor Concubine Xiao Shufei alone. Although he has many concubines in the harem, he has few children. Most of them are princesses."

The Queen reached out and stroked Duke Lin's cheek with a meaningful look in her eyes.

"I really regret letting Murong Che go to Liguo so that he can come back safely."

"I miscalculated after all. I thought he would die in Liguo, but I never thought he would be so lucky."

The color of the queen's eyes changed slightly, and her gaze became cold.

"Your Majesty can actually have another heir, but I will not allow it."

"No one can think of snatching my Jing'er's throne."

Duke Lin grinned and let out a long sigh.

"You still have an idea."

"The former queen and I have been fighting for many years. If she hadn't wanted to kill me."

"I wouldn't kill her newborn baby."

The queen squatted down and picked up a gauze dress.

"That child was strangled to death a long time ago. If he grows up, he will definitely compete with Jing'er for the throne."

The two were in the bedroom, but they didn't notice that the area outside the bedroom was filled with fragrant oil.

The smell of sesame oil gradually became stronger, and Duke Lin frowned and sniffed.

"Why does it smell?"

Before he could react.

'thumping'

The flames shot up into the sky and quickly spread to the surrounding area of ​​the bedroom.

The fire spread quickly and the two men's eyes widened.

"What happened? Why did the fire suddenly start?"

He strode forward and was about to open the door of the bedroom, but he couldn't open it.

Then, a shrill cry was heard outside the bedroom.

"Go away!"

"There's a fire in the temple!"

"It's gone."

In an instant, shouts and exclamations attracted all the pilgrims who came to burn incense.

In the front yard of Wanpukuji Temple, everyone looked to the south and saw black smoke and flames shooting up into the sky, dyeing half the sky red.

Some pilgrims were frightened by the sound of a flood and retreated from the front yard of the temple.

The dam in front of Wanfu Temple was suddenly crowded with people.

Crowds of people, old and young, men and women, were surging, their eyes were attracted by the flames rising into the sky from the south.

"Quick, put out the fire."

"There may be someone in the hall!"

Some young people in the crowd began to shout and rushed towards the South Courtyard.

The monks of Wanfuji Temple, all sweating profusely, carried water and rushed to the distant hall.

More and more people who came to watch the fun and were willing to take the initiative to help others began to organize firefighting and followed the monks of Wanfu Temple to carry water.

The ladies and young men of Yanjing's noble families all rushed towards the direction of the fire.

Exclamations, shouts, discussions, sparks from burning wood, and the crackling sound filled the eardrums.
