It was early spring, and the peach blossoms were in full bloom on the branches, but Prince An, wearing a silver cloak with a fur collar that he would only wear in the cold winter, bowed and came out, stretching out his slender jade-like hand, and with the help of the guards, he coughed a few times and slowly got off the carriage.

Because Prince An was wearing a cloak, you couldn't tell that he was frail. He was very tall and had a very good appearance.

On her jade-white skin, there were two sword-like eyebrows slanting down, and a pair of peach blossom eyes that seemed to be filled with very clear spring water. When the spring sun shone on them, they sparkled with a bright light. Her lips were pale, and one could tell at a glance that she was suffering from a long-term illness.

Princess July of the An Dynasty waved her hand and said, "Slow down, cough cough cough... It's been very cold these past two days, and my cough hasn't healed yet, so I really can't catch up with you."

Princess July pouted and said, "Just let the guards follow me. I don't expect my cousin to accompany me around Jingfu Temple."

Lin Luoling frowned when she heard this. She didn't feel cold even though she was only wearing three layers of clothes. How could Prince An still feel cold when he was wrapped in such a thick cloak?

Suddenly, the chief guard called four guards carrying a soft chair, helped Prince An sit firmly, and shouted loudly, "Stand up!"

Four guards carried An Wangchao to Jingfu Temple.

Princess July seemed to have been locked up in the palace for too long, and everything she saw was curious. She ran to the east and jumped to the west on the eighteen-story staircase, looking everywhere.

Presumably, Prince An and Princess July had a very good relationship. Even if he coughed occasionally, he would still remind Princess July to watch the steps under her feet to avoid bumps and bruises.

Only after everyone from Prince An's Mansion had entered Jingfu Temple did Lin Luoling take He Jinchun's arm and walk towards Jingfu Temple.

He Jinchun tilted his head and said, "It's already noon, let's go to Jingfu Temple to have some vegetarian food first."

Lin Luoling and Chen Yin responded in unison.

He Jinchun asked Madam Qi to take the silver and go ahead of them to find the manager of Jingfu Temple to prepare their vegetarian meals.

Vegetarian meals at Jingfu Temple have always been free of charge. He Jinchun and her friends were visiting for the first time and had no idea about this.

As soon as we entered Jingfu Temple, Madam Qi came to greet us quickly and said, "The temple manager has prepared a small meditation room for the masters to have a vegetarian meal later. They did not charge any money, but said that if you are interested, you can put the money into the merit box when you burn incense and pray for blessings later."

Lin Luoling smiled and said, "It's really interesting that you can enjoy vegetarian food at Jingfu Temple without spending any money."

He Jinchun frowned and asked, "Is it like this for everyone, or did you report the name of the Lin Mansion?"

Madam Qi replied, "I reported the name of the Lin Mansion, and the manager said that Jingfu Temple only entertains female guests. All female guests who come to Jingfu Temple to burn incense and worship Buddha, if they want to have vegetarian meals, must help in the kitchen, or help grow vegetables and fruits, without spending any money."

Lin Luoling suddenly realized: "So that's how it is."

He Jinchun asked Madam Qi to find a few maids and old women with quick hands and feet to help in the kitchen, or to help grow vegetables and fruits. She also asked the servants to buy some high-quality vegetables and fruits and deliver them to the gate of Jingfu Temple, and then have the old women from the Lin Mansion deliver them to the kitchen of Jingfu Temple.

The implication is that servants are not allowed to enter.

Chen Yin asked doubtfully, "Since Jingfu Temple doesn't allow male guests to enter, how could Prince An come in? And bring so many guards with him?"

He Jinchun said: "He is Prince An after all. Jing and Xuzhou are his fiefdoms. Is there any place he cannot go?"

Chen Yin never liked high-ranking officials and nobles who used their status to show off their airs. He sneered and pulled Lin Luoling towards the main hall.

"Amitabha, I will take Sister Ling'er to the main hall to beg the Buddha to show mercy and let Sister Ling'er escape from the filthy sea of ​​suffering in Yongning Marquis' Mansion as soon as possible. We will go and have a vegetarian meal with my stepmother later."

He Jinchun looked at Chen Yin and said something, then pulled Lin Luoling away and smiled helplessly.

As soon as he stepped into the hall, he saw Princess July kneeling on the futon, praying loudly:

"May the Buddha show his power and cure my cousin Prince An's illness. He will be healthy and marry a Princess An and have a bunch of lively children..."

Hearing this, Chen Yin burst out laughing, causing Princess July to look back.

Lin Luoling held onto the door frame of the main hall and tugged at Chen Yin, "Let's finish our vegetarian meal before we pray and burn incense."

"Cough cough cough..."

Lin Luoling looked intently and saw Prince An wrapped in a thick cloak, leaning against a red pillar with his arms folded. He put his fist to his lips, coughed twice, and smiled softly, "Whose family gives birth to children by nest?"

Princess July put down her hands that were clasped in piety, gestured to Prince An to keep quiet, and whispered, "Cousin, if you don't understand, don't interrupt. If the Buddha hears, it won't work!"

After that, Princess July pointed to the futon beside her and said to Chen Yin and Lin Luoling, "You two can come in and burn incense and worship Buddha. Maybe with so many people, the Buddha can hear it and the words of blessing will be effective."

Lin Luoling thought Princess July was a likable person, and so did Chen Yin.

The two of them no longer had any worries and knelt down beside Princess July.

Princess Qiyue clasped her hands together, tilted her head and asked, "What are you two sisters asking for? Marriage? Or a child?"

After Chen Yin bowed devoutly, he turned to look at Princess Qiyue and said, "Please divorce as soon as possible!"

"Ah?" Princess July exclaimed, covered her mouth, blinked, smiled awkwardly, and didn't ask any more questions.

Lin Luoling nudged Chen Yin with her elbow and glanced at Prince An out of the corner of her eye. Perhaps it was because of the two of them coming in, but Prince An lazily closed his eyes, indicating to Chen Yin that Prince An was there, so they should talk less and not cause any unfounded trouble.

Chen Yin stood up and lit the incense, handed it to Lin Luoling and said, "Sister, make a good wish."

Lin Luoling held up the incense, sighed softly, and bowed devoutly.

Suddenly, there was a sound of breaking wind. Prince An opened his eyes immediately, his eyebrows were stern, and he whispered, "Get out of the way!"

Lin Luoling was so shocked that he turned around to look, his pupils suddenly trembled. An arrow with a cold glow was flying towards where Princess July was kneeling.

Without thinking, Lin Luoling pushed Princess July away.

The arrow feather was stuck diagonally on the cushion where Princess July was kneeling just now.

Even so, Lin Luoling's left wrist was scratched by the tip of the arrow. Although the cut was not deep, blood was oozing out.

Chen Yin pulled Lin Luoling's left wrist to take a look.

Prince An helped Princess July up from her prone position and looked her up and down, asking, "Are you injured anywhere?"

Princess July raised her right hand, the tip of the arrow scratched a layer of skin on her knuckles. Tears welled up in her eyes as she angrily asked, "I am burning incense and praying to Buddha, but who wants to take my life?"

Prince An's fair cheeks turned a little blue, perhaps because he was angry. He stood up and was about to call the guards.

I only heard Chen Yin's cold voice saying, "The tip of this arrow is poisonous! Sister Ling'er, you must not move. I will seal your acupoints first and find a place to detoxify you as soon as possible. If the poison enters your heart meridian, it will be troublesome."
