Those years when I was Princess Yan

"You'd better think like this." The voice was no longer as cold as before, but it wasn't hot either.

Taking care of the lives of the two maids first, Xu Qingqing asked the whereabouts of the two maids again.

"It has nothing to do with you." Zhu Di said coldly.

"Anyway, they are my dowry maids. Whether they are good or bad, the prince will always inform me before disposing of them." Xu Qingqing asked Zhu Di again if the two maids did anything wrong to offend him.

Zhu Di suddenly fell silent. Although he frowned and stared at Xu Qingqing, he seemed to be focusing on something else.

Xu Qingqing was a little dazed by her look, and touched her face guiltily.Could it be that she came to look for the prince in a hurry, and all the things she didn't wash her face were seen through?

"Dead." Zhu Di said suddenly.

"what?"

"The two maids you asked are dead." Zhu Di sneered, and suddenly squeezed Xu Qingqing's chin, "It's better for the princess to be quiet. If I say more, all the maids with the word 'bi' around me will die."

Xu Qingqing was stunned, and stared at Zhu Di with fiery eyes, a little unbelievable that he could say such a thing.Even knowing that he has a fierce reputation abroad, after getting along with King Yan during this time, Xu Qingqing felt that he was not unreasonable.

Zhu Di immediately let go of his hand, turned his back indifferently, and ordered Qiu Fu to take the princess back.

Xu Qingqing walked down the mountain angrily.

Qiu Fu followed behind, he looked at Xu Qingqing's back several times, hesitated to speak, and finally dared not say anything.

When reaching the foot of the mountain, Xu Qingqing suddenly stopped, turned around and asked Qiu Fu: "Is there someone else on the mountain just now?"

At this time, there was a sudden sound of dysprosium on the mountain.

Only when the lord is in an emergency will he sound the dial, Xu Qingqing's guess has been confirmed.

Qiu Fu hurriedly bowed his head and saluted: "This subordinate will send the princess back."

"Besides you, are there any guards on the mountain to protect the prince?" Xu Qingqing asked again.

Qiu Fu nodded, but from his expression, Xu Qingqing saw worry.

Xu Qingqing immediately ran up the mountain with her skirt in hand, but Qiu Fu quickly stopped her.

"Princess, the prince ordered his subordinates to escort you back."

"What are you talking about, hurry up and save someone!" Xu Qingqing said anxiously, "If it's just an assassin who is easy to deal with, he doesn't have to deliberately dismiss me."

Qiu Fu came to his senses and immediately ran up the mountain with his knife drawn.

Xu Qingqing followed closely, and when she was about to arrive at the previous place, she heard the sound of fierce fighting and smelled blood.Xu Qingqing looked around, walked forward stooped, and hid herself behind the bushes.Xu Qingqing knew very well that she didn't know martial arts, and showing up rashly would only be a drag on others. At this moment, she was able to protect herself well as a 'help'.

Xu Qingqing slowly pushed aside the bushes, her fingers were immediately stained with blood, and when she looked forward, she almost screamed in fright.A cow was lying in front of the bushes, staring in her direction, blood trickling from its stomach, and its body was twitching non-stop.

There was a person lying on the back of the cow, wearing dark green clothes, with his head down, motionless. It was not clear where he was injured, but he should be dead from this posture.

Xu Qingqing followed the sound of fighting and looked towards the position of the pine tree where Zhu Di was before. Several guards were fighting with the masked assassin in green, but Zhu Di was not seen.

After Qiu Fu ran to deal with the two assassins, he also found that the prince was not there, so he chased deeper into the west side of the mountain forest.Xu Qingqing actually wanted to chase after her to have a look, but she would be easily exposed once she moved, so she could only shrink here and hide for the time being.

Suddenly a whistle sounded, and someone shouted 'retreat', several assassins in green who were fighting here stopped and ran towards the east side of the forest.

The guards followed closely, and Xu Qingqing also planned to follow, when countless arrows were shot out from the forest on the east side, all five guards who were in charge of chasing the assassin were hit and fell to the ground.Some people didn't hurt the vitals, but immediately vomited black blood and passed out, obviously the arrow was poisoned.

The attack is ferocious, and the attack is fierce. These assassins must come to take the life of King Yan.

Xu Qingqing was even more worried about the safety of King Yan. She thought about whether to go east or west.In the end, he decided to head east. In order to avoid being discovered by the other party, Xu Qingqing walked not too fast, but followed the fresh stampede marks left in the forest and the broken branches.

The trace eventually disappeared near a bush.

Xu Qingqing inspected the surrounding area carefully, but found no other traces.After remembering this place, she turned back immediately and went to the west side of the forest.At this moment, she suddenly heard the sound of chaotic footsteps ahead, and she hurriedly hid behind the bushes.

"It's really fucking unlucky, the guard surnamed Qiu came back just as soon as he was about to be caught."

"Boss, do you feel that King Yan was a little strange just now? He was fighting well, but suddenly he dropped his knife and ran into the woods."

"Exactly, we brothers thought there was an ambush, and didn't dare to chase after it vigorously, so we missed the opportunity!"

"Shut up, get out!" An impatient female voice was irritated.

The footsteps faded away.

After a while, there was another sound of footsteps.

Xu Qingqing raised her head when she heard Qiu Fu's voice, and quickly pointed to the east, telling them to chase after him.

Qiu Fu sent all his subordinates away, and stayed behind to inquire about Xu Qingqing's situation.

"I'm fine." Xu Qingqing patted the dirt on her body, then asked where King Qiu Fuyan was, and she went to find him.

Qiu Fu cautiously looked around, and whispered to Xu Qingqing: "It's an emergency, and my subordinates knocked the prince unconscious, so I came here specifically to find the princess."

Combined with the conversations of the assassins she heard just now, Xu Qingqing realized, "Is the prince sick?"

Qiu Fu nodded.

Zhu Diren was lying on the tree trunk, being looked after by four guards.After Xu Qingqing arrived, she confirmed that Zhu Di was in good health, and then pinched the acupuncture points to wake him up.At this time, Qiu Fu had already sent away the idlers, so that no one would find out about the abnormality of the prince.

The moment the scholar opened his eyes, Xu Qingqing recognized him.When they didn't understand the situation before, they had to take pains to identify it, but now Xu Qingqing understands that one looks like a baby and the other looks like an eagle. Although the pronunciation is the same, there is a big difference.

"Do you feel better?" Xu Qingqing asked.

"It hurts."

The scholar rubbed the back of his neck, suddenly realized something, looked around vigilantly, and stabilized a lot when he met Xu Qingqing's eyes.

"For some reason, I was suddenly hunted down just now..."

"Assassin, those people want to take the prince's life. When they see me with you, they think you are the king of Yan." Xu Qingqing helped the scholar up, let the scholar tidy his clothes first, then whispered to Qiu Fu, "Today's assassination will definitely reach the ears of King Qin and King Jin. They will inevitably want to greet the prince. It's hard to stop this matter."

"Princess, please find a way." Qiu Fu pleaded.

"Go to Baiyun Temple, where there are few villains. The abbot and my master used to be old friends. You take the prince there first, and I will go back and tell the two elder brothers that the prince took you to chase the assassin. You may come back in a while. Not coming."

After Xu Qingqing explained this, he asked Qiu Fu if he knew the origin of today's assassin.Hu Baitian has been captured, could it be that today's wave of assassins is still related to him?

Qiu Fu shook his head and said he didn't know, "But they did come prepared, and they have learned about the prince's habit of herding cattle."

At this time, the guards who were in charge of chasing the assassins returned to report, saying that they searched everywhere but could not find any trace of those people.

Qiu Fu: "It's strange. The prince will check this mountain every day before herding cattle. How did they hide and escape? It seems to have disappeared out of thin air."

"Could it be that after chasing near a bush, you can't find it?" Xu Qingqing asked.

The guards agreed again and again.

"I think there's something wrong with that area, and I'll check it out." Xu Qingqing suggested to Qiu Fu.

Qiu Fu hurriedly agreed and ordered people to go again.

The scholar rubbed his neck and looked at Xu Qingqing and Qiu Fu in a little confusion.People are still quiet and sober, able to adapt to the current situation.

Xu Qingqing discovered a characteristic. When a scholar wakes up, he is not very sensitive to changes in time and the surrounding environment. He may occasionally have a little doubt, but basically when he wakes up, he will naturally accept the fault in time. , to adapt to the current environmental conditions.For example, when the scholar woke up last time, the season outside had clearly changed from early summer to Mid-Autumn Festival, but the scholar was not particularly puzzled by this.This shows that subconsciously, at least in terms of time, the scholar and King Yan are connected, but they are not aware of each other.

Xu Qingqing explained to the scholar that for his safety, he was asked to live temporarily in Baiyun Temple.

"Then what should you do?" The scholar looked at Xu Qingqing anxiously, "I'm worried about your safety."

"I'll be fine, those people are only targeting the prince, but now I have to go back and explain, and then I will go to you."

The scholar nodded worriedly, and then he looked warily at Qiu Fu and the others who were following them far away, which stunned Qiu Fu and the other guards.

"They all know about our relationship?" the scholar asked Xu Qingqing in a low voice, very carefully.

"Well, these people are all my confidantes. Besides, Qiu Fu is your cousin, so he will naturally keep it a secret for us. Don't worry, as long as our adultery is not known to outsiders, the prince will not care about it. He will definitely turn a blind eye Close one eye."

When Xu Qingqing said this, he couldn't help but think of Yan Wang's calculating and sullen face. It's no wonder that guy didn't care about it, but unfortunately, because the scholar is a part of him, he can't lose it no matter what, so he can only endure him. The presence.

"But I always find it strange that a man shouldn't be so magnanimous. Even if he doesn't care about you, you are his wife anyway, and you can be regarded as his face..." The scholar always felt that Xu Qingqing's explanation was too easy, a bit different from Common sense.He was not ashamed to mention it before, because he was afraid that Xu Qingqing would feel uncomfortable if he asked too many questions, but the problem always existed, and he had to face it after all.

"Of course there are other reasons, because I know his big secret. In fact, he likes men. In short, you should obediently listen to me now, go to Baiyun Temple first, and see as few people as possible. I will arrive later." Xu Qingqing sent him up After the car, he repeatedly asked.

After digesting the big secret Xu Qingqing said in shock, the scholar nodded, seeing that Xu Qingqing was about to leave, he suddenly reached out and grabbed her hand.

"What's the matter?" Xu Qingqing turned her head in confusion, looked at the scholar's situation with concern, and thought he was uncomfortable.

The scholar glanced at Xu Qingqing, then lowered his head in embarrassment, withdrew his hands embarrassingly, shook his head and said it was all right.

"Don't be afraid, I will protect you." Xu Qingqing was worried about the unstable mental state of the scholar, so she held his hand and comforted him softly.

"I don't need your protection, as long as you are well." The voice was very low, full of worry and concern.

Xu Qingqing was stunned, looking at the scholar with his head lowered, as if he was trying very hard to suppress his emotions, for fear of causing trouble to her, he couldn't help feeling warm in his heart, thinking he was so cute.

"Okay, I'll be fine, you don't have to worry." Xu Qingqing couldn't help touching the scholar's face, and smiled at him.

Seeing this, the scholar pursed his lips slightly, smiled slightly, but held Xu Qingqing's hand even tighter.

"Heart after heart, love is deep——"

"You are not allowed to recite poems. Most of the lovesickness expressed in many ancient poems is sad, we will not do this." Xu Qingqing touched the scholar's face again, kissed his forehead, and told him to wait for her obediently after he arrived at the Temple of Peace. Come.

"Yes." The scholar agreed.

Xu Qingqing observed silently for a while, and found that the scholar was still a scholar, and did not feel happy because of her affectionate confession and kiss, and her happiness changed back to King Yan.It seems that the essence of a scholar is actually the same as that of Yan Wang - treacherous.And he seems to have a very strong immunity, and the tricks that have been used once will not work on him again.

After Xu Qingqing jumped off the carriage, she greeted Qiu Fu and asked him how the prince dealt with the two servant girls, Biyue and Bihua.

"It's really dead." Qiu Fu said.

"What?" Xu Qingqing was very surprised. She thought that King Yan was trying to scare her to leave.

"The two of them used acacia incense on their bodies." Qiu Fu cupped his hands to Xu Qingqing, "My lord doesn't like others to plot against him."

Xu Qingqing pursed her lips and turned to look in the direction of the carriage.

"The identities of these two people seem to be unclean." Qiu Fu found that Wang Hao's mood seemed wrong, so he immediately added.

"Not clean?"

"I'll report it to the concubine after my subordinates investigate carefully." After saying that, Qiu Fu saluted again before driving the carriage away.

Xu Qingqing stood silently on the spot for a while, when Qin Wang Zhu Xun and Jin Wang Zhu Xun rushed over with a large number of people.

When they saw Xu Qingqing standing at the foot of the mountain in a daze, they immediately dismounted and rushed over, asking how she was doing, and where Zhu Di had gone.

Seeing that the two of them were genuinely anxious, Xu Qingqing knew that this was a critical moment, and the blood connection between brothers was finally manifested.

"My lord is fine, he took Qiu Fu to chase the assassin."

"Hey, there's no need for him to come in person for this kind of thing, just send Qiu Fu. The fourth brother is really serious, he never forgets to be brave, what if those assassins are ambushed halfway."

Zhu Yan asked Xu Qingqing again, where did Zhu Di take the people, and then he called his people to follow.The same goes for Zhu Xing.

The guards who were just in charge of searching the bushes hurried back to report that they found a freshly dug burrow under the grass next to the bushes.This cave just leads to the cave in the mountain, and the cave just leads to Jinhe Village on the other side of the mountain.

Zhu Yu and Zhu Yu immediately stated that they would be responsible for sending people to investigate the matter, and asked Xu Qingqing to go back to the Taoist temple to rest first.

Xu Qingqing promised, "The leader of this group of assassins is a woman, don't forget to check for women when searching."

"It turned out to be a woman, fresh." Zhu Yan reassured Xu Qingqing that he would make people dig three feet to find these assassins.

After Xu Qingqing returned to the Taoist temple, she packed up the scholar's clothes, and took the wooden box where the scholar put the books before.

"Senior Sister, it's not good, Meng Jinzhi committed suicide!" Fang Fang hurriedly reported.

Xu Qingqing dropped the things in her hands, hurriedly went to take Meng Jinzhi's pulse, and checked the strangle marks on her neck.

"Fortunately, I found it in time, but just passed out." Xu Qingqing turned her head to look at the rope hanging on the beam of the house, and asked Fang Fang where she got the rope.

Fang Fang shook her head to express her ignorance.

"She doesn't even come out of her room on weekdays. If this rope wasn't yours, where would it come from?"

Xu Qingqing asked people to untie the rope, and found that there seemed to be pieces of bark at the end of the rope, and a little moss was rubbed against the broken rope.

She may not understand other things, but for Xu Qingqing who often climbs the wall, she is very familiar with the characteristics of the moss on the wall of Ping'an Temple.

"Get the ladder."

Xu Qingqing climbed up the courtyard wall along the ladder, and sure enough, near the sycamore tree on the east wall of the west garden of the wall, he found traces of moss being rubbed.The sycamore branches outside the wall also had traces of rubbing after being tied with ropes.

Because there are many men living in the temple, the gate of the Xiyuan courtyard where the Taoist nuns live is guarded from morning to night every day.The wall of Xiyuan has been specially heightened, and it is difficult for ordinary people to climb up unless they are assisted by ropes.

After breakfast, the Taoist nuns would go to the front hall to meditate and chant scriptures, and then they would receive pilgrims and do various cleaning tasks.Before noon was their busiest time, and it was almost impossible for them to have the opportunity to return to Xiyuan.Someone took advantage of this gap to turn over from the top of the wall with the help of a rope, and then climbed back with the help of the rope.

Knowing the activities of the Taoist nuns, combined with the current situation of Meng Jinzhi being stimulated, it is not difficult to guess who the "thief" who used the rope to climb the wall is.

After Xu Qingqing found Liu Yuan, she threw the rope in front of him.

Liu Yuan was taken aback, knowing that what she had done had been discovered, she bowed her head guiltily and dared not make a sound.

"She almost hanged herself with this rope just now." Xu Qingqing said.

Liu Yuan was shocked, and immediately got up and rushed towards Xiyuan to visit Meng Jinzhi.

Chu Qiu and others hurriedly stopped them.

"Let him go, I think he would like to see Miss Meng die again." Xu Qingqing sternly said.

Liu Yuan stopped, then rushed to Xu Qingqing and knelt down, begging Xu Qingqing to help Meng Jinzhi.

"I have been helping, and I see that it will be effective. Your troubles will not only waste all previous efforts, but also scare people even more." Xu Qingqing narrowed her eyes and looked at Liu Yuan, "I am a little suspicious of your infatuation now. If you really care about a person, how can you only care about venting your emotions, regardless of the other person's situation?"

"I was wrong, I was wrong, I really didn't know that my visit to her would cause her to commit suicide. I was really worried about her situation, and I wanted to tell her what was in my heart. I thought she knew about me. Thoughts, you won't be so afraid.

But I never expected that as soon as I appeared, she would go crazy.I quickly climbed the wall and ran out, but I didn't expect that when I untied the rope, she pulled it from the other side of the wall and pulled the rope over.I thought she would pull the rope because she hated me climbing the wall with a rope and didn't want me to go again.I really didn't expect that she would kill herself with a rope. "

Liu Yuan cried with his head in his arms, he really wanted to know what he should do to cure Meng Jinzhi's illness.Even if he gave up his life, he was willing.He couldn't bear Meng Jinzhi's denial of him, and he always wanted to seek death on his own.

"You come to the Taoist temple every day, and your family doesn't care?" Xu Qingqing asked.

"I'm temporarily staying at my aunt's house to prepare for the next year's spring. During these days, everyone in the family is worried about my cousin, but no one notices me. I lied to them and said that I went to study with my friends during the day." Liu Yuan explained.

No wonder Liuyuan has such deep feelings for Meng Jinzhi, they lived under the same roof.

"Do your parents know your affection for Miss Meng? Even if they were willing, would they still agree after learning what happened to Miss Meng?" Xu Qingqing asked.

Liu Yuan hesitated, lowered his eyes and said honestly: "I don't know yet."

"Either give up at this point, or go back and tell your parents and come back with the permission of the second elder. If it is the latter, I will definitely find a way to cure Miss Meng so that you can marry her." Xu Qingqing said.

"Okay, I'll go home and beg my parents to allow me to marry my cousin." Liu Yuan simply saluted Xu Qingqing, and left in a hurry.

Chu Qiu looked at Liu Yuan's leaving back, and sighed with hope, "I don't know how long it will take to come back?"

"[-]% won't come back." Xu Qingqing said.

Chu Qiu was surprised, and asked Xu Qingqing if she still remembered what she said at the time. At that time, she was obviously the one who persuaded herself not to be so pessimistic, saying, 'I haven't reached that point yet'.

"It's true that we haven't reached the saddest stage yet, so why be pessimistic in advance, but it's here now." Xu Qingqing explained.

"Junior sister, are you kidding me? They really can't do it?" Chu Qiucai was full of confidence in the relationship between the two.

"An innocent girl suffers both physically and mentally for no reason, and in the end, she has to endure the strange eyes of the world. Although there is sympathy and pity in these eyes, it is more disgusting for her innocence.

Even if Liu Yuan could not care, what about his parents, brother-in-law and other relatives and friends?He also wanted to be an official through the imperial examination, and when he came to the officialdom, his colleagues, officials and wives would communicate with each other. If those people learned about Meng Jinzhi's past, how would they look at it?Therefore, it is almost impossible for Liu Yuan to marry Meng Jinzhi as his wife, and he will not be able to pass the test with his parents. "Xu Qingqing analyzed.

Chu Qiuyou was hit, like an eggplant hit by frost in an instant, and asked Xu Qingqing pitifully, "Is there no other possibility?"

"Yes, everything is possible. It's just that the hope is a little bit slim, but it doesn't mean there is nothing. So you don't have to be so pessimistic, just wait and see."

Hearing that Meng Jinzhi woke up, Xu Qingqing went to check on her immediately.

Meng Jinzhi lay motionless on the couch, staring blankly at the ceiling, tears streaming down the corners of his eyes.Xu Qingqing asked Chu Qiu to light Anshenxiang in the room, then sat beside Meng Jinzhi, and asked her how she felt in a soft voice.

Meng Jinzhi didn't seem to hear Xu Qingqing's words, he didn't even blink his eyes, and remained in the same state as before.

"I helped you drive Liu Yuan away, so I probably won't come to harass you again." Xu Qingqing found that when she mentioned Liu Yuan, Meng Jinzhi's eyelids moved, and her tears became more violent.

"Since you would rather die than see him, then we won't see you. This princess still has this ability. If you really don't like him, it's easy for him to disappear completely in this world. I will ask the prince to treat him later." It is only a blink of an eye to cut off his head for the crime of trespassing on the women's house of the palace." Xu Qingqing patted the back of her hand, deliberately telling her to be at ease.

"No, don't!" Meng Jinzhi panicked, got up and kowtowed to Xu Qingqing, begging her to spare Liu Yuan's life.

This was the first time Xu Qingqing had heard Meng Jinzhi speak normally, and she immediately realized that now might be a good opportunity for a breakthrough.

Seeing her skinny and gaunt, Xu Qingqing knew that Meng Jinzhi would definitely not be able to endure the torture.On the prince's side, we can only delay for a while before going.

"Since you have come to the Taoist temple, become a Taoist nun here, and made so many fitting Taoist robes for my fellow apprentices, I naturally regard you as a sister." Xu Qingqing gave Meng Jinzhi a handkerchief while speaking. Wiping away tears, "How can I spare him? He trespassed in Xiyuan and almost killed my good sister!"

Chu Qiu received Xu Qingqing's gaze, and immediately agreed: "That's exactly the case. He nearly killed Sister Meng by provoking him, and he should be punished!"

Everyone agreed and supported the princess to kill him.

Meng Jinzhi burst into tears and kowtowed vigorously to explain: "I don't blame him, it's because I don't want to live in the world, and I don't want him to see me so dirty."

Xu Qingqing sent the others away immediately, and asked Meng Jinzhi softly, "Why are you dirty?"

Meng Jinzhi burst into tears and rolled onto the quilt, "Those men treated me... I've been dirty for a long time, so dirty, I'm not worthy of him."

"Being dirty by a man? Then according to what you say, I'm not clean either." Xu Qingqing was willing to go all out.

Meng Jinzhi hurriedly shook his head: "How can this be the same, the princess married the prince, she is innocent, but I am not—"

"You are also innocent, and those who are dirty are those who do evil. To use an inappropriate analogy," Xu Qingqing took out a ruby ​​ring from her purse, "This ring was stolen by a thief, or lost Put it in the cesspit, then fish it out and wash it, it is not a treasure? Is it worthless?"

Meng Jinzhi shook his head.

"Why, you are a beautiful living person, you can't even compare to one thing?" Xu Qingqing asked again.

Meng Jinzhi hesitated, her tears gradually lessened, but her head was still sullen, unable to get over the hurdle in her heart.

The damage was too great, how could a few words of reassurance be enough to get over it, Xu Qingqing knew this very well.

"Don't care too much about the bad opinions of outsiders. Look at these little sisters in the temple, which one is not sincere to you? Why don't you care about them caring about you?

Life is hard, everyone has their own suffering, some people may suffer more, and some people suffer less.

You were unlucky and suffered a lot.But it is not easy for a human to go through the world. Compared with those who are reincarnated as pigs, dogs, and animals, is it a blessing to be human?If you don't cherish life well, who knows if you will suffer even greater crimes after death?Regardless of men, there are seasons changing, flowers blooming and falling, and countless beautiful scenery; there are sisters cleaning and cooking together, and the joy of frolicking..."

Meng Jinzhi burst into tears again, this time crying harder than before.She hugged her knees, raised her head and began to cry, her voice almost broke.

This is a good sign, she is finally venting her emotions.

"It's easier to give up than to persevere, but if you persevere, you will definitely see beautiful scenery that you have never seen before." Xu Qingqing hugged Meng Jinzhi, patted her on the back, and asked her softly if she would persevere.

Meng Jinzhi sobbed and nodded, echoing Xu Qingqing's words.

Then, Xu Qingqing listened to Meng Jinzhi intermittently about what happened to her in the bandit den after she was taken away.

"They are not human, one after another, sometimes several people together..."

Xu Qingqing hugged Meng Jinzhi tightly. At this moment, she really felt that it was too light for King Yan to cut off Hu Baitian's arm. This kind of person is not enough to relieve hatred.

"After two days' trial of Hu Baitian's charges in the yamen, he will definitely be executed in public. Ling Chi's execution is inevitable and his body exposed at the city gate. I will take you to see it then." Xu Qingqing promised.

Meng Jinzhi nodded movedly, "What kind of virtue is there for Jinzhi, the princess takes care of her like this. The princess is right, if you keep at it, the women of the people will see a different beauty."

"Liu Yuan was sent away by me. If he treats you sincerely, you will see his determination in the near future. But if he lacks determination, you don't need to feel sad about it. I think you didn't want to leave hope for him. If you come Now, just treat it as a surprise, and give him another chance when the time comes. If you don't come, it's just in line with your original intention, let him live his own life." Xu Qingqing persuaded.

Meng Jinzhi agreed sullenly, a little bit in a trance.

Xu Qingqing knew that she actually cared about Liu Yuan very much, but she was ashamed to face him like this.Sincere feelings are rare, even if they bring a lot of sadness and pain to people, this is the trace that life should have.Xu Qingqing didn't know how to use kindness spells to dilute this part of her emotional hypnosis.It just alleviated the mental damage to Meng Jinzhi caused by her painful experience in the gangster's den, so that she could barely live like a normal person in the future.

The good words spell will not erase people's memory, but it will mentally blur the original pain, so that the caster has more motivation to move forward.Those experiences and injuries will still be a part of Meng Jinzhi, and recalling them will still bring her pain, but in the end there will be a warm light leading her through this cut, allowing her to bury the pain in her heart and continue to move forward bravely to life.

Seeing that Meng Jinzhi could finally fall asleep peacefully, Xu Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief.Instructing Chu Qiu and others to take good care of her, they rode straight to Baiyun Temple.

After seeing Xu Qingqing, Daoist Changjiu'an of Baiyun Guanzhu hurriedly brought his disciples to greet him.

Back then when Taoist Priest Chunxu of Zichen Temple was arrogant and rampant, she said something that Taoist Priest Chunxu had no virtue, which caused Baiyun Temple to be excluded and fell into trouble.This summer, life is even more difficult.At that time, it was thanks to Xu Qingqing who secretly sent someone to give them a hundred taels of silver notes to help them, so that her little Taoist temple was able to survive.So Xu Qingqing, from Baiyun Temple, has the grace of reborn parents.

Daoist Jiu'an is a person who values ​​affection and gratitude. When he sees Xu Qingqing again, he must kneel down and thank him personally.

"Abbot Jiu'an is polite. Our Taoist temples should help each other, and now you can help me." Xu Qingqing told Taoist priest Jiu'an, "I can't ask more about my arrangement of people here, and I can't spread it outside."

"Princess, please don't worry, Pindao still knows this."

Daoist Jiu'an also watched Xu Qingqing grow up, she knows the character of this child very well.Although she doesn't know why Xu Qingqing, who is now a princess, sent guards to arrange a young man to live in her Taoist temple, but she believes that Xu Qingqing must have some unavoidable difficulties, and she must not be doing something bad.These two explanations are enough, she doesn't need more explanations.

After Xu Qingqing thanked her, she hurried to see Zhu Di.

Qiu Fu was guarding outside the door, he was finally relieved when he saw the concubine's late arrival.

"I also ask the concubine to call the prince back as soon as possible. This excuse to track down the assassin won't last long. If you don't believe me, Qin Wang and Jin Wang will ask again, and it will be difficult to explain. If the two princes are in a hurry to investigate, they will be even more serious." Trouble." Qiu Fu pleaded.

Xu Qingqing nodded, she was thinking all the way here, what can she do to make the scholar feel happy.The scholar is a person with no past, so it is impossible to figure it out from his experience. Xu Qingqing's understanding of the scholar is that he is cultivated and polite, gentle and intelligent, and considerate...but it is often this kind of person who is gentle to everyone and everything People, it is even more difficult to guess his true preferences.

"What do you like on weekdays?" Xu Qingqing sat at the table, resting her chin on her hand and watching the scholar's painting, as if asking casually.

"Reading, writing, and painting," the scholar answered Xu Qingqing in a gentle voice while drawing the pine branches with downcast eyes, "and you."

Xu Qingqing's arm supporting her chin softened instantly in shock, and she nodded her head in the direction of the table.

"Be careful." The scholar dropped his pen in a panic, and gently held Xu Qingqing's chin with his hand, thus ruining a painting that was about to be completed.

The scholar is too gentle.

Xu Qingqing couldn't help but think of the way King Yan pinched her chin on the mountain this morning, it was so cruel and cruel, and she didn't need to use too much force. The gentle pinch of his cold fingers, coupled with his cold eyes, made her In an instant, there was an illusion of being naked and sinking in the thousand-year-old ice.The scholar is just the opposite, like the warm sun in spring, gentle like water, wishing to soften people's hearts.

"That doesn't count, you must still have something you like, let's talk about it." He has all the so-called likes now, but he doesn't see how happy the scholar feels, otherwise King Yan would have returned long ago.

"I have always thought that if one day I find someone I like, I will enjoy plum blossoms, sweep snow and make tea with her." The scholar continued.

"It's a pity that it's autumn now, and it's not yet the time for the winter plums to bloom." Xu Qingqing sighed, and suddenly came up with an idea, "We can swim in the lake tomorrow morning, pick lotus pods, and make tea with the dewdrops on the lotus leaves."

The scholar smiled: "Good idea."

The next day, the weather was not beautiful, and it rained heavily early in the morning.

In the evening, it was still raining.Xu Qingqing sat by the window and watched the pouring rain outside, sighing endlessly. If this continues, won't it be impossible to gather dewdrops tomorrow?So when will King Yan recover?

Wearing a bamboo hat, Qiu Fu hurried in from the outside and told Xu Qingqing that King Jin and King Qin had caught several assassins and tortured them to death without asking why.

"The two lords also asked about the whereabouts of the lord, and the subordinates said that the lord got the clue and went to Luzhou to investigate."

"En." Xu Qingqing knew that this reason would not last long.

In the morning of the third day, the rain was still falling, as Xu Qingqing had expected last night, she and the scholar would definitely not be able to go to the pond.

Seeing Xu Qingqing's dejected face, the scholar smiled and advised her not to rush for a while, and when the rain stopped sooner or later, they would have a chance to swim in the pond.

"That's right." Xu Qingqing forced a smile, but saw the scholar took a piece of wood and was carving it with a knife.

"This is?"

"Gongshuo carpenter gave me something. He taught me how to carve wooden figurines. I found it from the wooden box you brought with books." After explaining with a smile, the scholar looked at Xu Qingqing's face carefully and tried to carve.

"You want to engrave me?" Xu Qingqing happily came over to look at it.

"Of course if it's you, the first person to engrave it must be someone I like." The scholar explained in a reasonable tone, lowering his eyes and cutting the knife very intently.

Xu Qingqing's heart skipped a beat when she heard the words, and suddenly the scholar took a cold breath, and in a blink of an eye, he saw the pulp of his index finger was bleeding.

"I cut my hand!" Xu Qingqing immediately grabbed the scholar's finger, brought it to his mouth and sucked it.

The two immediately looked at each other, Xu Qingqing let go of her mouth in embarrassment, and asked the scholar to wait, and she went to ask Taoist Jiu'an for ointment and bandaging gauze.

"No need." A cold male voice stopped Xu Qingqing from leaving.

Xu Qingqing looked back at Zhu Di in surprise, and after confirming that his eyes were cold enough, she let out a regretful sigh of relief, "My lord is finally back."

At the same time, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart, it's really strange that a scholar feels happy, just licking a broken finger is enough.

Zhu Di looked at the bloody fingertips, put his fists behind his back, and ordered Qiu Fu to prepare the horse.

When the three of them rushed back to Ping'an Temple, King Qin and King Jin came out to welcome them.

"I said fourth brother, do you need to go so desperately after an assassin? You haven't seen anyone for two whole days! Did you find any clues?"

"Wrong pursuit."

Zhu Di asked where the assassin was alive, and he wanted to interrogate himself.

At this time, a guard came over and whispered something to Qiu Fu.

Qiu Fu immediately reported to Zhu Di that
