The melon-eating system, everyone listens to my voice

"Master Shen, we are already near the capital. It will probably take another three days to reach the city gate."

The chief escort was riding a horse with a map in his hand. After comparing carefully, he put the map away in his arms and reminded Shen Zhao in the carriage.

The six escorts had escorted goods to the capital before, so they were familiar with the capital.

It’s just that I haven’t walked this long distance for a long time, so I take out the map from time to time for comparison.

They encountered robbers along the way, and the six bodyguards were indeed very skilled in martial arts.

Moreover, robbers usually rob money. How much money could a traveling scholar like Shen Zhao have? Moreover, there are six tough guys protecting him.

So overall nothing serious happened in the end.

The six escorts also felt that they deserved the three hundred taels of silver, at least their responsibilities were recognized.

Shen Zhao responded,

"Brother Biao, let's go to a nearby county town and find an inn to rest.

We will start our journey tomorrow, rest in the wild, and try to get to the capital as quickly as possible."

"Okay, let's go to the nearby county first."

Shen Zhao half leaned on the comfortable and soft quilt, which was about ten pounds thick.

This was bought in the system mall. The cotton inside is thick and elastic, and it keeps you cool in summer and warm in winter.

Shen Zhao sat in the carriage for nearly three months. Although he stopped to rest during the journey and stayed in a guest village once every ten days or half a month, he still spent most of his time in the carriage.

Shen Zhao's butt was numb from sitting. To put it simply, his butt and body seemed to be separated into two parts, and he felt uncomfortable all over.

Shen Zhao had no choice but to buy things in the mall to make himself comfortable and less miserable.

Upon hearing that the escort would arrive at the city gate in a few days, Shen Zhao cried with joy.

These days of suffering are really coming to an end.

[Guagua, you said yesterday that Princess Sheng was practicing in the royal temple and her health was getting worse. Is it because someone poisoned her medicine? ]

Shen Zhao's cold voice could freeze people into ice.

After all, Princess Sheng is the biological mother of this body. Since she knows that someone wants to harm her, she has to find a way to save her.

【Host, yes. And the princess's health has not been good for more than ten years. She has nightmares every night.

The dream was about the day she gave birth to you, and the wet nurse told her that you stopped breathing when you were born.

This sentence tormented her for fifteen years, and every time she thought of it she couldn't sleep all night.

The princess used to be a bright beauty, but now she has wrinkles all over her eyes, frowns all day long, and has become a crybaby who can shed ten kilograms of tears every day. 】

Guagua's voice was full of heartache. The princess was only in her early thirties this year, and standing next to Wen Yirou, the concubine of Prince Sheng's mansion, they looked like two generations apart.

Shen Zhao had a blank expression on her face. She had never met Princess Sheng in person.

My feelings towards her are not that complicated. She is just a blood-related stranger.

[Guagua, you said that the royal temple is in the southwest of the capital, about a hundred miles away from the capital, and it can be reached in half a day by horse carriage, right? ]

Guagua nodded, that was indeed the case.

The royal temple is not far from the capital, so any sacrificial activities in the imperial palace can be held in the royal temple.

Since Shen Zhao knew that Princess Sheng was in danger, he naturally chose to go to the royal temple to rescue her first.

Besides, she looks similar to Princess Sheng, who is also the legitimate master of the palace, and would be very helpful for her to restore her identity.

Moreover, Princess Sheng has the right to know the truth. She has come to the capital to look for her relatives, so why would she not go to see her biological mother first?

Princess Sheng must be very sad.

Although Shen Zhao was indifferent, she was still willing to do what she could.

After all, before the end of the world, Shen Zhao was a little fairy who could consider other people's feelings and treat them sincerely.

It was just the end of the world that made Shen Zhao put up a hard shell to protect himself.

Shen Zhao herself didn’t think so. She just didn’t want to waste time comforting Princess Sheng later.

After all, she doesn't want to feel her mother's tears!

Guagua covered his mouth and laughed happily in his consciousness. He knew best what kind of person the host he was bound to was.

"Brother Biao, do you know the way to the Royal Temple?"

Shen Zhao lifted a corner of the curtain and asked the big bodyguard who was riding beside him.

The royal temple is quite famous in the capital, after all, it is a temple recognized by the royal family.

I just don’t know if anyone outside the capital has been there.

The chief escort didn't know, he only knew the Xiangyun Temple.

It is the most popular and most worshipped temple in the city.

It is said that the Xiangyun Temple is very effective. Every time the escort goes out on a mission, his mother at home will go to the Xiangyun Temple to pray for him to have peace and happiness.

Thinking of his mother and wife at home, the escort pulled a gentle smile at the corner of his mouth.

After this escort mission, I have to stay at home and rest for a month and spend more time with my family.

The six escorts were originally several meters behind the carriage, but when they heard Shen Zhao's voice, they rushed over and just heard the four words "Royal Temple".

He scratched his head. Isn’t this the location of the escort mission half a year ago?

Half a year ago, a nobleman asked them to deliver a box to the royal temple.

Because this mission is relatively easy, the six escorts can do it alone.

So he was also the only one among the six bodyguards who had been to the royal temple.

As for the driver, it was his first time in the capital, let alone visiting the royal temple.

So I just drove silently, but I also listened to their conversation with my ears perked up.

After all, if you know more, you can brag to others when you go back.

He had been to the capital and had heard of the royal temple!

It’s extraordinary!

Although the coachman was just an ordinary person, he also understood that a temple could be connected with the royal family.

Then the status of this temple must be very respected. Listen more to it to broaden your horizons.

The Six Escorts explained to everyone,

"Only royal relatives or clan members can enter the royal temple. Ordinary people can only go in to kneel and worship and burn incense when the royal temple opens once a month.

The royal temple is not far from the capital, and it is on our way.

I heard that the royal temple was built at the foot of a mountain, surrounded by mountains and water. The scenery is beautiful and everyone who goes there to burn incense can feel at ease and peaceful.

Mr. Shen, do you want to go to the Royal Temple? "

Shen Zhao nodded.

The six escorts shook their heads.

"Today is not a day when the royal temple is open. We can't go in. We can only wait until the fifteenth of next month."

The six escorts were able to enter smoothly that time because of the token given by a nobleman, and the monks of the royal temple let them in.

Shen Zhao said firmly,

“No, waiting until next month is too long, we can just go there in the next few days.

Don't worry, just drop me off at the foot of the mountain and our mission will be accomplished.

You have come all the way to Beijing, so you can also go there to buy some local specialties and bring them back to your family to show your appreciation.”

The six escorts were not stupid. Since Master Shen said so, it meant that he had a token to get in.

It seems that Mr. Shen is not an ordinary scholar!

The six escorts guessed in their hearts, smiled, and agreed to Shen Zhao's suggestion.

The group arrived at a nearby county town and this was the last time they stayed in an inn.
