The female boss of destiny, even villains have to work for me

Chapter 59: Praying for Blessings and Building a Temple Encountering a Killer

The second step in the money saving plan is to build a temple and pray for the royal family.

"Last night, the Queen had a dream. In the dream, an old man with immortal air came from the sky on the clouds, stroking his long white beard and said that the Queen was a person with immortal fate. If a temple could be built specifically for praying for the royal family, and the Queen herself prayed, then everyone in the royal family would be safe and live long!" Another little maid was whispering to another little maid in a loud voice.

Another young palace maid pretended to be surprised: "No wonder one time when the Queen and I went out shopping, a fortune teller said that the Queen looked extraordinary, but we didn't take it seriously at the time and thought he was talking nonsense!"

Soon, word spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred, and the queen's dream reached everyone's ears, including the emperor.

As a person who wanted to live forever, the emperor immediately went to the Queen's Yuexin Palace after hearing about this.

The Queen Mother and Du Ran were there to greet them early.

"Empress, I have been very busy with government affairs recently, and I didn't even accompany you when you were sick. I was really negligent."

"Your Majesty is very busy with government affairs, so he should put the people first. And thanks to Your Majesty, I was able to recover so quickly."

Du Ran muttered inwardly, "How hypocritical!"

"This is what I prepared for you. They are all top-quality tribute items. I hope they can make up for my lack of care for you recently." As the emperor spoke, several young eunuchs came in one after another carrying gift plates. Du Ran couldn't take his eyes off the plates filled with glittering gold and jewelry.

The queen just glanced at him. After all, she knew very well what the emperor's purpose was in coming today.

As expected, the next thing the emperor said was: "I heard that you had a dream two days ago?"

The queen snorted in her heart but still had a smile on her face: "Even your Majesty heard about it? It was just a dream. I just chatted with Sister Du Ran as gossip. Who knows which palace maid heard it and told others. If it has caused trouble to your Majesty, I apologize to you here!" As she said this, the queen was about to kneel down.

The emperor immediately helped her up and said, "Hey, what are you talking about? What crime has the queen committed? But this dream seems to have a foreshadowing. The royal family still needs the queen's blessings!"

The queen pretended to be flustered and nervous. Without further ado, she immediately knelt down and asked, "What virtue and ability have I given you?"

The emperor helped her up and said, "Queen, since I ascended the throne, I have indeed neglected the important matter of praying to the heavens for blessings. I am afraid that the heavens are blaming me for this dream. Since the immortals have already pointed it out, for the sake of the future well-being of the royal family and the safety of the people, Queen, please take more care of it!"

The queen looked even more flattered.

"There is a Tianshu Mountain in the north of the city. The temple on it has been abandoned for a long time. I plan to renovate the temple and reshape the golden body of the Buddha statue inside."

The Queen nodded: "Your Majesty is considering it."

"The Queen is weak and has difficulty going up and down the mountain. I'm sorry to trouble you to go up the mountain and rest for a while."

The queen nodded.

"Since the Queen has a connection with the immortals, she will be in charge of repairing the temple."

The queen agreed.

Du Ran despised the scumbag emperor in front of him, and at the same time envied the queen who would soon become rich.

Things were progressing as Du Ran had planned. With the emperor's words that he was fully responsible, the rest of the matter would be easy to handle.

Just like when she renovated the study in the palace some time ago, wasn't it her who had the final say on how much money to spend?

The emperor was so anxious to live a long life that he even complained about his indebtedness and failure to take good care of the empress in the morning. In the afternoon, he sent someone to send the empress to the foot of Mount Tianshu.

Not to mention that the dilapidated temple has not been repaired yet and there are no windows, the fact that he allowed his queen to live on the mountain and pray for him shows that the emperor is a scumbag! Du Ran didn't know how many times he cursed the emperor along the way.

The Queen had completely given up on the Emperor. Besides having money to put into her own pocket, there was also good news: the Emperor would definitely not change the Queen for a while. Zeng Yi was very disappointed, but thinking of this, the Queen was actually quite happy.

"Empress, is this shabby place suitable for living?" Du Ran looked at the dilapidated temple, which was not even as good as the woodshed in her mansion.

"Now that I'm here, even though the Emperor is a jerk, he is really generous with his money. It's enough for me to use for the rest of my life." The Queen smiled happily.

"But we are on the mountain, and there are only two guards. Can they protect you?" Du Ran looked at the lush forest outside and always felt that there would be wild beasts in it.

There were rats not only outside, but also in the temple, and they were not afraid of people. Du Ran almost fainted from fright.

"Forget it, forget it, we can't live here!" Du Ran pulled the queen and was about to leave.

But the guards stopped the queen.

"Empress, the Emperor has ordered that you cannot leave the mountain without his permission."

"What do you mean? Do you think it's suitable for people to live here? Do you want to feed the Queen to rats and wolves?" Du Ran was so angry that he started arguing with the guards, but the guards neither said a word nor moved, and it was obvious that they would never let the Queen come down the mountain.

Seeing this, the Queen pulled Du Ran back to the temple and said, "It seems that the Emperor wants to imprison me on this broken mountain. They are just following orders. If we go down, they will lose their heads."

Since walking is not an option, they might as well just stay here. Du Ran ordered two guards to clean the temple well, so that at least there would be a place to sit and lie down.

At night, the rustling of leaves in the wind and the chirping of insects make the dark mountain even more creepy.

Just when Du Ran and the Queen were about to fall asleep, screams of guards were heard outside the door, and then two figures rushed in.

The queen was so frightened that she hid behind Du Ran and almost fainted.

Du Ran bravely asked: "Who are you?"

"Go ask the Lord of Hell!"

"She is the current queen! How dare you disrespect the queen!"

"Hmph! The one to kill is the queen!" As he said that, the man in black swung his sword.

Du Ran quickly raised the jade token.

The man in black paused and said, "Want to bribe us?"

Bribery? Aren't they afraid? Du Ran was also stunned. She thought the two men in black couldn't read, and pointed at the words on the jade card and said, "Don't you two know it? Jueming Palace! This is the nameplate of His Majesty Jueming!"

"What the hell is this Death Palace? I've never heard of it!" The man in black looked very angry.

What should I do? ! This jade token is unknown to me! Du Ran's hands began to tremble, and he could only stammer and explain: "He...he is a killer who kills without blinking an eye! If you dare to touch a hair on our body, he...he will kill you too!"

The man in black laughed loudly, "Call him over! See if he can kill us? Oh, but you don't stand a chance. You're going to die now."

Du Ran also began to shiver, and suddenly, she remembered the whistle.

"Um...wait a minute, please. Let me blow this before I die!"

"What is this?!" the man in black wondered.

"This... this is a relic my great-grandmother left me. Since I'm going to die, I want her to pick me up so that I can be less scared!" Du Ran explained while choking.

"Then hurry up!" the man in black urged.

Du Ran blew the whistle in despair, several times in a row, for fear that the master Mu Zhou mentioned couldn't hear him.
