Not to mention Sun Yijia and her mother, when Jingwan returned to the Luo family, as expected, the Luo family, Yuan family, and Zhou family had all arrived. The ones leading them were the three young ladies' old mothers. Presumably, these families had either made an appointment or coincidentally followed behind Ding Guo Gong fu. As such, no one could find fault.
When Zhang-shi saw Jingwan, she began to cry. "You're not allowed to cry …" Jingwan said helplessly.
Zhang-shi's tears that were about to fall were held back by her. She looked at Jingwan with reddened eyes, looking somewhat pitiful.
If it was the first time she saw it, she probably couldn't help but soften, but Jingwan had long been immune to her appearance. "Mother, I'm very tired and sleepy right now. I'm going to sleep for a while. I haven't eaten mother's cooking for so many years. Why don't mother take advantage of this time to make some for me? Wait for me to get up to eat, okay? "
"Okay, okay," Zhang-shi quickly nodded, "Quickly go to sleep."
"En." Jingwan smiled. After Zhang-shi left, she finally showed her fatigue, "Mama, when I came back, which family did I see those people?"
"They should be the family of the Prime Minister, Ruan Daren. I forgot to tell Miss that at that time, it was that evil creature that first collided with the carriage of Ruan Daren's di daughter. Miss Ruan's carriage went down from the mountain. Although it was closer to the inside, it still fell off the cliff. After Miss Ruan was thrown out of the carriage, she happened to land on a clump of vines. Therefore, she wasn't seriously injured, but she seemed to be frightened and didn't wake up. "
"Ruan Fangfei who is as famous as Jia jiejie? This is great. In the capital, other than those daughters of the imperial family, the two most valuable and also the most outstanding young ladies were injured together. I don't know what will happen. " Fortunately, Jia jiejie didn't care much about the disfigurement. However, with the assassination of Jin Qinwang as a front, she thought that this matter wouldn't stir up any waves. "Forget it. It's not my turn to care about this matter." Jingwan rubbed her temples. She went back to her room and asked the maid to help her change her clothes. Buddhism was a sacred place, so she had to be a little careful. Although it was not so comfortable to sleep in clothes, she fell asleep soon after she lay on the bed.
Jingwan slept all the way until it was time to light the lantern. She slept very soundly and showed no signs of waking up, which scared the group of people again. They thought that there was some hidden injury that they could not see. Madam Zhang had also brought the house doctor, so there was no need to trouble Great Master Liaochen. Fortunately, the house doctor was certain that Jingwan had fallen asleep due to exhaustion. Once she had enough sleep, she would naturally wake up.
After Jingwan woke up, her spirit came back. She only felt hungry.
As soon as she woke up, Qing Lan, who was guarding beside her, naturally noticed it immediately. "Miss, you're finally awake."
"Well, prepare some food. I'm hungry." Jingwan ordered as she got up and washed.
"Before you fell asleep, didn't you say that you wanted to eat the food made by Madam? Madam made a lot, but you didn't wake up. Then she made it again and again several times. She hoped that you could eat the most delicious food when you wake up. Now, it should be ready." Qing Lan explained.
Jingwan suddenly felt a little guilty. She originally just wanted to send Madam Zhang away and find something for her to do, so that she would not be sad and distressed. She did not want her to be busy all the time.
Hearing the movement in the room, people outside came in one after another. Soon, Madam Zhang came in with the food in person. "Wan Wan, you're finally awake. You must be hungry. Hurry up and taste it. I don't know if the food I made now is to your taste." She probably also knew about Jingwan's situation, so she did not care about her injury.
"Mother, you've worked hard. As long as it's made by you, I like it."
"It's not hard. If you like it, eat more. "Madam Zhang sat at the side and watched her eat. From time to time, she would pick up food for her.
In fact, Madam Zhang's cooking was average, but the meaning was different. In addition, Jingwan was really hungry, so she ate a lot.
Madam Zhang also knew that the food she cooked was not very good, but whether it was in Qi 'an prefecture or now, her daughter always gave her face. She was naturally happy, unlike that bastard Jing Bo. When he was young, he would spit it out when he ate. Now, he would put down his chopsticks after eating two mouthfuls. However, she was still quite self-aware. She only cooked occasionally. She could not poison her daughter just because she gave her face.
"Mother's cooking has improved a lot." Half of it was the truth, and half of it was to coax Madam Zhang.
"Really?" Madam Zhang was very surprised. Her son and her husband did not say a word about her cooking, let alone like it. "Mother will cook for you in the future."
"Okay."
The maidservants put away the things on the table and rinsed their mouths. Jingwan sat there and chatted with Madam Zhang. Although Madam Zhang had all kinds of shortcomings, she also had her good points. She was very patient with her children. Moreover, because she was simple-minded, you could talk to her as you wished. Of course, it was all trivial things that did not take much effort. She would always listen with a gentle smile and respond to you. After that, she might not remember a word of what she said, but the whole process was very relaxed.
"Mother, it's getting late. You should go back and rest first." She knew that Madam Zhang did not have much to do and did not have anything to worry about. Her schedule was very regular.
"Mother is not sleepy yet. It's not too late to go back and rest when I'm sleepy."
"I just woke up and won't go back to sleep for a while. I know that mother wants to accompany me, but I have a lot of people here. If it's not enough, I can still read."
Madam Zhang was still a little hesitant.
"Madam, go back and rest first. The Old Madam still has something to do and is waiting for Miss to go over." Mama Gong spoke up at the right time.
"Ah? Mama, why didn't you say so earlier? It's a sin to let the Old Madam wait for so long. "Madam Zhang said helplessly.
"It's okay. The Old Madam has slept a lot during the day and is in good spirits now. She knows that you are here, so it's not too late to let the two of you talk."
"Then Wan Wan, hurry over. Don't let the Old Madam wait for too long. I'll go back first."
"Okay." After the maidservants sent Madam Zhang out, Jingwan spoke again. "Mama, grandmother really has something to talk to me about?"
"Yes, Miss. The Old Madam has been waiting for you."
"Then go over now. I also have something to talk to grandmother about."
Jingwan guessed that grandmother should already know about Jin Qinwang's matter. It must be known that the assassination of a Prince or Qinwang was not an ordinary matter and would definitely be reported to the Emperor. Then, ten out of ten people in the court would also know. It was normal for grandfather to let her mother bring a letter over. After all, Bai Long Temple was the place where Jin Qinwang was assassinated. Grandfather was not the kind of person who would absolutely not tell grandmother about the court matters. His purpose was also very simple. If grandmother knew, then ask about the specific matters. If she didn't know, then just let her know. After all, even if Bai Long Temple was calm on the surface, she was afraid that the undercurrent was surging behind the scenes. It was just that the matter between her and Jin Qinwang, she didn't know if he had found grandmother yet.
When she saw the Old Madam Luo, Jingwan saw that her expression was slightly heavy. Her guess was probably right. "Grandmother …"
"Wan Wan is here. Come over quickly. You all can withdraw. "She pulled Jingwan to her side and waved the servants to withdraw. "Have you rested well?"
"En, where's grandmother?"
"Grandmother is fine. Take a look at this? "Old Madam Luo handed a letter that was pressed to the side to Jingwan.
Jingwan did not hesitate and directly opened it. As expected, it was just, "Jin Qinwang's whereabouts are still unknown, whether he is alive or dead is unknown?"
"Yes, at least before your mother and the others left the capital, the capital had not received the news."
"It shouldn't be." It was reasonable to say that Jin Qinwang should have returned to Bai Long Temple before her. Even if he was worried that there were still assassins lurking in the dark here, he should have at least informed the Emperor about it. Or, the Emperor deliberately concealed his whereabouts and used this as a pretext to make a fuss, ruthlessly hammering or weakening the power of the person behind the scenes. This was not impossible. Although the rumors about Jin Qinwang were mostly negative, it was well known that although he had no power, he was deeply favored by the Emperor.
"How can Wan Wan say that, is there something wrong?"
"It's like this …" Jingwan concealed her "intimacy" with Jin Qinwang and told the rest in full detail to Old Madam Luo. From the beginning, she did not intend to hide this matter from Old Madam Luo. If there was any movement on Jin Qinwang's side, she could not hide it even if she wanted to. Even if Jin Qinwang agreed to her idea and did not do anything, she did not want to hide it. After all, her knowledge in this world was limited. Perhaps there were some hidden rules that she did not know. Who knew if she would inadvertently violate some taboo, especially when the reason for her meeting with Jin Qinwang was an assassination. If something happened in the future and she did not know the reason, then it would not be worth it. With Old Madam Luo watching over things with her, it was different. She could always consider all aspects. Even if he could not, there was still Grandfather.
Old Madam Luo's face became heavy after hearing this. It was related to Wan Wan's reputation, she had to be serious. But it was useless to think about it now. She had to wait for Jin Qinwang's attitude, "Wan Wan did not do anything wrong, but Grandmother is worried that if Jin Qinwang wants to take you into the fu …"
"Grandmother does not need to worry about things that have no shadow. If it really comes to that step, then what should be done will be done. If a dignified Qinwang wants a small girl in the boudoir, we still have the right to refuse. Perhaps Jin Qinwang saw that I saved him, or perhaps I am not up to the standard of a beauty in his eyes, and just let it go."
"… I hope so." It seemed that it could only be like this now. More importantly, it could not be related to the assassination. "Wait until dawn tomorrow, Grandmother will go back and discuss with your grandfather to let your mother stay here. Qiao Qiao and Miss Zhou cannot be moved for the time being. Jia Jie 'er will not return to the capital for a while. You should also stay at White Dragon Temple for a few more days."
"I will listen to Grandmother."
Other people outside could not hear what the grandmother and granddaughter were saying, but Gong mama was clear. She thought, Old Madam, why don't you bring Miss back to the capital? Others did not know, but she knew that the living King of Hell was now holed up in White Dragon Temple. It was just that he had moved from his previous residence. His guards on the surface could not see him, so they naturally sent people to look for him outside. Other than that body full of injuries, no one knew how free and unfettered he was living. Wherever he was, it was like a tiger's den or a wolf's den for Miss. You left the delicious food that he longed for in his mouth, did you feel that he did not live fast enough? According to Gong mama's understanding of him, she was afraid that as long as Miss was in White Dragon Temple, he would not appear to the outside world and would always be in a missing state.
During this period of time, the Emperor would certainly have more white hair, and the unlucky ones would naturally be the courtiers. Gong mama shed tears of sympathy for the Emperor when she met such a deceitful son. Gong mama shed tears of sympathy for the courtiers when she met such a reckless prince. Gong mama shed tears of sympathy for the courtiers when she met such a willful monarch. Thinking of this, Granny Gong felt much better. Although what he did to the young lady was inappropriate, he didn't really hurt the young lady. His original intention was not to play around.
Jingwan chatted with Old Madam Luo for a while more before returning.
There was no entertainment at night in this world. If one did not sleep, they could only read books. In a temple, scriptures were naturally the most common. Buddhist scriptures were difficult to understand, and it was good enough that she could understand most of them. Jingwan felt that she had no chance to understand the deeper meaning of Zen. She was bored at first, but after calming down, she was able to read.
While Jingwan was reading, Li Hongyuan was also reading all kinds of information gathered. This living king of hell had taken over a magpie's nest and tyrannically 'kicked Master Liaochen out'. That was not all. He even complained that everything in the meditation room had been used and completely replaced. Fortunately, Master Liaochen was magnanimous and did not bicker with him. He turned and leisurely went to another meditation room.
Master Liaochen did not live in White Dragon Temple, but in a fairyland-like valley in the back of the mountain. Apart from the acolytes in charge of cleaning, no pilgrims or anyone else would set foot here. Master Liaochen himself was usually in the temple during the day. It was rare to see Li Hongyuan come to White Dragon Temple all year round. In everyone's eyes, Master Liaochen treated everyone equally. No one expected the two to have such a deep 'friendship'. Coupled with Master Liaochen's respect, they would not find this place even if they turned the entire White Dragon Temple upside down.
Li Hongyuan flipped through the letters one by one. In the capital, the reactions of his brothers, his father, and the reactions of the ministers were all complete. These things did not exceed his expectations and were all within his grasp. Therefore, he only glanced at them and then threw them to the side without any further questions.
The last one was naturally related to Jingwan. Because of Jingwan's accidental fall from the cliff, more people had been sent to protect her. However, they were all in the dark and it would be difficult for them to protect her in close quarters. It seemed that he had to find a way to send two more people to protect her.
Li Hongyuan flipped to the next page. Eunuch Mu sensed the change in his mood. He thought to himself, 'Isn't he safely back at White Dragon Temple? Did something happen?'
Li Hongyuan flicked the letter with his finger. "In the future, this prince will not only have to guard against men, but also women?"
Eunuch Mu resisted the urge to wipe his sweat. He did not need to think too much to know what his master was thinking. To guard against men, he naturally had to guard against those around Miss Luo. As for women, there were many women who wanted to climb into his master's bed. Of course, he had to guard against them. However, wasn't this something he had been doing for a long time? Eunuch Mu thought carefully. No, there was no woman who wanted to climb into his master's bed that deserved his master's protection. Speaking of which, if there were men who liked men, there should also be women who liked women. Could it be …
"Mu 'an, it's easy to guard against men around Wan Wan, but how can we guard against women?"
Master, this servant is stupid. This servant really doesn't know such a difficult thing. Eunuch Mu only dared to think this way. "Master, I'm afraid it won't work."
"Why?"
"Miss Luo needs someone to serve her."
Yes, he only thought of the women outside. What about the women around Wan Wan? They served her closely. When she bathed and changed clothes, they had already seen Wan Wan's naked body. He had not seen it twice. The more he thought about it, the more gloomy he became. He even had the impulse to immediately pull out all the people around Jingwan and chop them into pieces. This vinegar jar was simply overturned inexplicably.
"This prince will ask my father to grant me a marriage on the grounds of saving your life this time. What do you think?"
Good, good, good. There was no better idea than this. Master, you should drag Miss Luo back to your nest as soon as possible. No, you should marry her back to the prince's mansion. Then, everyone will be happy. It will be a celebration. "Master, please think twice." Eunuch Mu said insincerely.
Li Hongyuan raised his head and glanced at him indifferently. Eunuch Mu was so shocked that he almost broke out in a cold sweat.
"Wan Wan's status is not enough. Under normal circumstances, she doesn't even have the qualifications to be a cefei. Even if this matter is used to ask for a marriage, at most, she will only be a cefei. Even if Jin Qinwang fu only has her as the rightful Master in the future, Wan Wan will probably not be happy. Benwang will also not be happy. "Li Hongyuan said as if talking to himself.
"Exactly." So, Master, you can only continue to hold it in. We can only continue to endure.
"Benwang knows that you are all looking forward to benwang marrying Wan Wan as soon as possible. Benwang also wants to. Unfortunately, benwang does not have the final say in this world. I can only speed up and make my father despair about benwang's marriage and let Wan Wan become the only candidate. "
So, who would be the next unlucky person?
"Sun Yijia is also too idle. That's why she would stick to Wan Wan all day."
Master, the other girl is already disfigured. It's the time when she's heartbroken. Can you not use underhanded methods?
"Mu An, do you have any objections to benwang's decision?"
"No, Master's decision cannot be more brilliant." They only had one objective, Master's decision was never wrong!
"Call Old Monk Liao Chen over. Benwang has something to ask him."
From the way he addressed Great Master Liao Chen, it was clear that Wangye had a lot of objections to him! Moreover, it's time to sleep. You slept all day and now that you're awake, you're tormenting others?!
It wasn't far to begin with, so Great Master Liao Chen arrived rather quickly. "Amitabha. Wangye summoned me. What orders do you have?"
Li Hongyuan put one hand on his bent knee and the other leg stretched out naturally. His sitting posture was casual and languid as he slightly raised his chin to look at Great Master Liao Chen. "Great Master can see through everything. How can you not know why benwang is looking for you?"
"Wangye overpraises me. This poor monk is only a mortal. How can I see through everything?"
Li Hongyuan curled his lips in a mocking smile, "Great Master didn't see that benwang was about to face this bloody disaster?"
"Would Your Highness not have been injured if this poor monk had told you? This isn't a disaster for Your Highness. Your Highness's face is filled with joy. "
Li Hongyuan had to admit that Great Master Liao Chen was right. The main reason was that he had vented his anger on Wan Wan when she fell off the cliff. "Great Master should've met Wan Wan already. What do you think?"
"Forgive this poor monk for speaking bluntly, but Miss Luo is pure and kind. It's a pity she's a match for Your Highness."
"That's not something a great master should say. However, the Great Master only said that this Prince is sinful and cruel by nature. His heart, liver, and lungs are all black. It is precisely because of this that this Prince should have a woman like Wan Wan by his side. This Prince is only willing to be bound by her and be restrained by her. Wan Wan is a woman who is soft on the outside but strong on the inside. It is easy for her to attract the attention of men and attract the jealousy of other women. Without this Prince's protection, even if she uses a thousand methods, it will be difficult for her to avoid their schemes. You should say that we're a match made in heaven. "Li Hongyuan didn't hold back at all when it came to flattering himself.
Great Master Liao Chen nodded in agreement.
"Great Master, you still haven't answered this prince's question."
"Her original fate has been broken. Her new fate isn't clear. Overall, it seems smooth, but there may be some twists and turns."
"It's good that it's broken. If this prince can break it, then her future will be smooth and without twists and turns."
"From what Your Highness says, you should know Miss Luo's original fate."
"Great Master, even if you don't know everything, you should know. There's no need to say more." Li Hongyuan never thought that he would be able to hide his rebirth from Great Master Liao Chen.
"Amitabha. Of course."
"Wan Wan has been plagued with misfortune recently. Great Master, please help her resolve it. This prince doesn't want anything else. Just give her the red sandalwood prayer beads in your hand."
"Your Highness is as blunt as ever." Great Master Liao Chen seemed helpless.
"Heh, this prince thought you'd be used to it by now. If you're not, then it's better to get used to it. After all, who knows how many similar incidents will happen in the future."
"Then as Your Highness wishes. I'll give the prayer beads to Miss Luo in two days."
Li Hongyuan was a little surprised. He had only asked Master Liaochen for the prayer beads casually. He didn't have much hope. His goal was to make it easier for him to bargain. If he couldn't get the best thing he had for Wanwan, he would at least ask for something that was a little inferior. After all, it was rumored that the prayer beads were very important to Great Master Liao Chen. It was said that his master had given them to him when he first shaved. They had been in his possession for at least a hundred years. Great Master Liao Chen was an old man over a hundred years old. No one knew exactly how old he was, so naturally no one knew how long the prayer beads had been in his master's possession. Many people, including his imperial grandfather and father, had wanted the prayer beads but couldn't get their hands on them. Was he really that important? "Great Master, you were going to give them to Wan Wan?"
"Miss Luo has an affinity with them."
Li Hongyuan felt that he wouldn't be able to understand Buddhist affinity even if he were given several lifetimes. "Then why wait two days?"
"The blessing of Buddhism."
Li Hongyuan paused. There weren't many things that could make him show such an expression. "It seems that Wan Wan has gained the great master's favor."
"Miss Luo has an affinity with Buddhism."
