"I think Your Highness is overthinking things. What I meant was that Miss Luo has the compassion of Buddha, not that she is fated with Buddhism. Your Highness wishes to bestow upon her an indescribably noble fate. If one day Miss Luo really becomes a monk, it will be because of Your Highness." Reverend Liaochen was unperturbed by Li Hongyuan's anger and threats.
Li Hongyuan snorted. "Reverend, you probably won't live to see that day. Even if one day this Prince is defeated, this Prince will drag her down with him. In life, she will be this Prince's woman, and in death, she will be this Prince's soul. No one will be able to take her away from this Prince. I will kill anyone who dares to stop me."
"Amitabha. Your Highness's murderous nature is too strong. If you don't control it, you will only hurt yourself and others."
Li Hongyuan sneered. "What? Reverend, are you trying to enlighten this Prince? Why don't you perform a divination for this Prince and Wan Wan? Just say that she is this Prince's destined person, and that we are a match made in heaven. After we are married, you can have her enlighten this Prince. It will be much easier with half the effort. "
"Your Highness, are you sure you want me to perform a divination like this? When it comes to defying the heavens and changing one's fate, one must abide by the principle of gains and losses. If you gain something here, you will lose it elsewhere. "
Li Hongyuan's gaze sharpened. "Reverend, are you saying that this Prince and Wan Wan are not a match made in heaven?"
"I once said that Your Highness's actions have opened a path for you. But because Your Highness is changing your fate, even the path may change at any time. If Your Highness chooses to take this path, it will take time and effort. But because of your efforts, you will most likely achieve your goal. Your Highness wants to take a shortcut and reach your goal in one step, but the outcome is still uncertain. Now that I am forcing it, it is already in the category of defying the heavens and changing your fate. If this matter goes smoothly, there will definitely be other matters that will not. Even the changes on the path will be delayed until after the goal is reached, and the future will become even more confusing. I think this is not what Your Highness wants."
"Others say that an old monk like you is so powerful, but this Prince thinks that you are just so-so."
"Amitabha. Those are just rumors spread by outsiders. You can't take them seriously. In the future, when Your Highness obtains your wish, this humble monk will perform a divination for Your Highness to add flowers to the brocade. "
Li Hongyuan didn't refuse. Master Liaochen was such a revered figure that a single comment from him would be able to suppress many rumors. It was much more effective than a bloody suppression. Moreover, when the time came, Li Hongyuan wouldn't add blood to a happy occasion.
Li Hongyuan had achieved his goal and chased Master Liaochen away. He'd completely forgotten whose territory this was. Fortunately, no one had seen his tyrannical behavior, or he would have been drowned by a mouthful of spit from each of them. How dare they treat Master Liaochen like this?
Li Hongyuan didn't sleep, so naturally, no one around him could sleep. He called An Yi, "Have you investigated the matter clearly?"
"This subordinate is incompetent. Please forgive me, Master." An Yi knelt on one knee with his head bowed. Ever since they'd followed their master, they'd rarely failed in any of their missions. But this time, they seemed to have stumbled. Had their master misjudged? No, it couldn't be. They'd never seen their master make a mistake.
"Then there's no need to investigate. Send someone to keep an eye on them."
"Yes." An Yi had already prepared himself for punishment, but didn't expect it to be so easily brushed aside.
"Have you found out who the people sent by this prince's brothers are?"
"Replying to Master, including the people sent by His Majesty, we've investigated thoroughly. We've confirmed it over and over again. There are no omissions."
"What they should know, what they shouldn't know, what they should do, and what they shouldn't do. You don't need this Prince to teach you, do you?"
"This subordinate understands. Please rest assured, Master."
After the matter was settled, Li Hongyuan had nothing to do in the latter half of the night. But at this time, he still didn't feel sleepy. Unknowingly, he walked out of the meditation room. Then, he couldn't help but look at the courtyard where the Luo family lived. Once, when she was thousands of miles away, he paid attention to her daily life from letters and paid attention to her growth. He was worried that she would become another person who was different from the one in his memory. When she arrived in the capital, he saw her with his own eyes and confirmed that she was still the original her. Although there was still a big gap from the appearance in his memory, the delicate and tender her was naturally more delightful than the one who'd suffered the hardships of wind and frost.
When he couldn't see her, he could still try his best to restrain himself. It was nothing when it became a habit. But when she appeared in front of him, he couldn't help but want to reach out and touch her. When he touched her, his heart couldn't help but give birth to evil thoughts. The closer he got, the more he missed her. The closer he got, the more he wanted to get closer. He always couldn't stop wanting to get more from her.
That obsession of his didn't fade because he was close to her. Instead, it became deeper and deeper. A person like him was very clear that this kind of obsession should be eliminated early. Unfortunately, he never thought of doing so. The reason why a weakness was called a weakness was because you didn't have the ability to protect it well.
Unknowingly, he walked to the outside of the courtyard wall. Li Hongyuan hesitated for a moment, but still walked around the courtyard wall and entered through the circular arched door. It was quiet all around. This courtyard looked very big, but there were a lot of people. The masters could still occupy a side room, but the others could only squeeze together. Compared to when they were in the capital, when they visited the Luo family at night, the possibility of being discovered was much higher now. If Jin Qinwang, who was rumored to still be missing, suddenly appeared at the place where the womenfolk were staying and was caught red-handed, the fun would certainly be big.
The shadow guards behind him were trembling with fear, ready to run away at any time. There was no other way. Although it was quiet here, there were martial monks patrolling the night not far away. They were responsible for the safety of these guests. If they were alarmed, it wouldn't be a joke. Those martial monks were much more powerful than many of the guards in the noble courtyards of the capital. If they were to go against them, they would have to think twice. If it was only them, then it would be fine. The problem was that Bai Long Temple had many people who were specifically targeting Master.
If they were exposed … Master, you have injuries. Even if your bones and internal organs weren't injured, the average person would have to lie in bed for ten days to half a month. Even if you looked fine, you should at least endure it. Night raids one after another, they all felt that Master was outrageous, not to mention the Lady Protector. To meet such a Master, how could it be so miserable!
Gong Mama carried a lamp and stood in front of Jingwan's door. She coldly stared at the person who was getting closer and closer, "Wangye came here in the middle of the night …"
"Enough, this Prince will just look at her. I won't do anything." Li Hongyuan impatiently waved his hand to interrupt her. If it weren't for the fact that she was wholeheartedly devoted to Wan Wan, he would have directly sent her to see her biological mother. After all, she was her first Master, and she was also indebted to her for saving her life.
However, when he thought of serving her in close quarters, he couldn't help but think of the previous problem. Thus, his gaze towards Gong Mama became sharper.
Gong Mama was very suspicious of his words, but she saw that his expression was becoming more and more unfriendly. Moreover, there was something else in his eyes. Why did it seem like she was his greatest enemy? She was just blocking the door. It shouldn't be to this extent, right? Gong Mama took a step back.
Li Hongyuan entered the room and directly walked to the bedside. Because this was a place reserved for female guests, the decorations in the room weren't very rigid. However, there were still many things that weren't there. Even the things that were brought out of the Luo Residence weren't many. In the past ten years, Jingwan still wasn't used to casually leaving the house as if she was moving. When she went out, she did her best to make it as simple as possible.
Li Hongyuan took out a night luminescent pearl and placed it to the side. Then, he covered it with a lampshade. Immediately, the room became much dimmer.
Li Hongyuan only sat by the bedside. He didn't even reach out to touch her. Because he didn't use any medicine, he wasn't sure if a gentle touch would wake her up. She had also slept for a long time during the day. He had originally prepared himself not to appear, but unexpectedly, she fell asleep again. It seemed that she had really exhausted a lot of her energy.
Li Hongyuan's heart ached slightly. However, if he had to do it again, he wouldn't hesitate to do it again.
After that, until dawn, Li Hongyuan sat quietly by Jingwan's bedside. It seemed that just by looking at her, he was no longer bored or irritated.
"Your Highness, it's almost dawn." If he didn't leave now, he might be discovered at any time.
Not long after Li Hongyuan left, Jingwan woke up. Jingwan's nose twitched. "Mama, did someone come?"
Gong Mama's heart trembled slightly. "No, Miss. Is there a problem?"
"It's nothing. I just felt that the smell in the room wasn't right. Perhaps it was originally like this and I didn't notice it before."
Gong Mama also felt a little guilty. She forgot that Miss's nose was also very sensitive. Wang Ye had stayed here for so long. Because of his injuries, it was inevitable that there would be a smell of medicine. He just left not long ago. The smell hadn't spread yet. She clearly smelled it. How could she miss it for a moment?
After Jingwan got up, she did what she was supposed to do just like when she was in the Luo family. However, she did her morning exercises in the room and did not make too much noise. Instead, she practiced yoga. Yoga was not something she had to practice every day, nor was it part of her morning exercises. However, what she learned was the most authentic yoga. It was very difficult and had a great effect on the flexibility and balance of the body.
After a whole set of exercises, Jingwan was covered in sweat. Although the surface of her body was uncomfortable after sweating, her whole body felt comfortable and she felt good.
After finishing what she needed to do, she sent Old Madame Luo away. Jingwan then went to see Yuan Qiaoqiao and Zhou Yingshuang.
Their mothers, one of them was her aunt. Naturally, they knew each other. The two families were close relatives. Even if her aunt blamed her, she didn't go too far. Qiaoqiao was also open-minded. She thought that it was good enough that she survived. For her, the shock of falling off the cliff seemed to have a bigger impact on her.
This was the first time she saw Old Madame Zhou. She was supposed to be a very straightforward woman. But now, her face was haggard and there were dark circles around her eyes. She looked much older than her actual age. When Jingwan greeted her, she only raised her head to look at Jingwan. She didn't say anything. She didn't even let her in to see Zhou Yingshuang.
"Madame, I don't know if Yingshuang …"
"Miss Luo, we can't entertain you here. Please go back." Her voice was very cold and even mixed with suppressed resentment.
She was the one who invited them out. She was fine now, but Zhou Yingshuang was blind. Even if it wasn't Jingwan's fault, comparing the two, she still felt bad.
Jingwan naturally wouldn't argue with her. "Madame, I just want to know if Yingshuang is awake."
Old Madame Zhou saw that Jingwan was really worried about her daughter. She knew that she shouldn't be so against her, but she just couldn't control herself. "You still …"
"Mother, is Jingwan here?" Zhou Yingshuang's voice came from inside the room.
At this time, Jingwan didn't care so much. She quickly went around Old Madame Zhou and went into the room.
Zhou Yingshuang was lying on the bed. Her body was slightly curled up. She was obviously very uneasy. She looked in the direction of the door, but she couldn't focus. She really …
Jingwan covered her mouth as tears rolled down her cheeks.
Zhou Yingshuang was not Sun Yijia. Although her family was far from Sun Yijia's, she grew up in the palm of the hand. She didn't have the emotional experience of Sun Yijia. She was cheerful, but her psychological endurance was not strong. After she found out that she was blind, it was good that she didn't break down.
"Jingwan, is that you?" Zhou Yingshuang reached out her hand and asked uncertainly. She didn't know about Jingwan's situation. She just woke up not long ago. She asked the people around her, but no one told her. She even thought that Jingwan was already …
Jingwan quickly wiped away her tears and calmed down. She hurried forward and grabbed her hand. "Yingshuang, it's me."
"Are you okay?"
"I'm fine. I'm fine."
"That's good." Zhou Yingshuang smiled. "I'm fine too. Don't worry."
Jingwan could tell that she was pretending to be strong. Her heart ached even more. She couldn't help but lean over and hug her. "Yingshuang, if you're really sad, just cry. Don't hold it in. It's not good for your health. Your blindness is only temporary. Trust me, when the blood disappears, you'll be able to see again. "
"Really? Can I see again?" Zhou Yingshuang's voice was a little choked.
"Yes, trust me. You definitely can."
"You can see again? You can see again … I believe you, I believe you … "She hugged Jingwan tightly and started to cry. "Jingwan, I'm scared. I can't see anything. I'm so scared. I'm really scared …"
"Don't be scared, don't be scared. It's okay. Your family, your friends, we'll all be by your side. We'll always be by your side. Don't be scared …"
Jingwan patiently comforted her for a long time. Zhou Yingshuang finally calmed down. Then, she started to ask about Yuan Qiaoqiao and Sun Yijia.
Jingwan didn't hide anything from her and told her everything. To a certain extent, disfigurement was much more serious than blindness.
"How did this happen?" Zhou Yingshuang's family wasn't prominent, but her grandmother and Old Madam Sun had an extraordinary friendship. Zhou Yingshuang often went to Ding General Manor. Although she wasn't very close to Sun Yijia, she was still more familiar with her than most people. On the way to White Dragon Temple, Zhou Yingshuang knew that Zhou Yingshuang was actually easier to get along with than she looked. Through Jingwan, she was much closer than before.
"Don't worry." Jingwan lowered her voice. "She thinks it's better this way."
Zhou Yingshuang was stunned. She didn't understand why Sun Yijia would think this way. Jingwan explained to her in a low voice, and then she showed a look of understanding.
Jingwan dared to tell her directly because she knew that Zhou Yingshuang wasn't a talkative person. She knew what was important and wouldn't say anything even to her family.
Zhou Yingshuang was silent for a moment. "So she's also a pitiful person." Then, she seemed to think of something. "What about you? Where are you hurt? Don't lie to me. "
The deepest wound on Jingwan's body was probably on her neck. She couldn't feel any pain anywhere else. If Jingwan said that she was fine, Zhou Yingshuang probably wouldn't believe her. She put Zhou Yingshuang's hand on her neck against her will. Feeling her careful touch, Jingwan couldn't help but feel guilty again. She couldn't help but curse someone in her heart.
"Is the wound deep?" Everyone knew that the neck was fragile. If one wasn't careful, it could be fatal.
"It's not deep, really. Otherwise, my grandmother and the others wouldn't let me out."
Zhou Yingshuang thought about it and agreed.
Seeing the atmosphere between the two, Zhou Yingshuang's heart relaxed a little. However, she couldn't help but feel a little jealous. Her daughter said that she was fine and smiled all the time. Didn't she know that her smile was heartbreaking? However, an outsider who she hadn't known for a long time said a few words and coaxed her, and she immediately revealed her true feelings. What an ingrate.
Zhou Yingshuang motioned for the servant girl to bring the medicine and prepare some food for her. Although she said that she was fine before, she complained that the medicine was bitter and said that she had no appetite. Zhou Yingshuang hoped that she would drink the medicine now and eat something. Otherwise, how could she get better?
The servant girl brought the medicine over and looked at Jingwan with anticipation. Jingwan thought for a moment and knew what was going on. She took the medicine and let the servant girl help her up slowly. "Yingshuang, come, drink the medicine."
"It's bitter." Zhou Yingshuang subconsciously refused.
Jingwan stirred the medicine in the bowl gently with a spoon. "Good medicine is bitter. How can you get better quickly if you don't drink the medicine? Don't you want to see it sooner? Good sister, quickly open your mouth. Do you want me, your younger sister, to laugh at you? "
Zhou Yingshuang's face reddened suspiciously. She reached out her hand. "Give it to me. I'll drink it myself. Who needs you to feed me? You're a delicate girl who stretches out her arms and opens her mouth. Don't feed me." Jingwan laughed and put the bowl in her hand. Zhou Yingshuang drank it all in a few mouthfuls and then frowned. It seemed that she really hated bitter medicine.
Jingwan picked up a candied fruit and stuffed it into her mouth. Zhou Yingshuang hurriedly held it.
"Miss, Duchess Ding asks you to go over." Nurse Gong entered the room and said softly.
"Jingwan, go quickly. Maybe something happened to Yijia." Zhou Yingshuang pushed her.
"Okay, I'll go take a look first. I'll come back to see you later."
"Okay."
When she was about to leave, Jingwan suddenly stopped. "There are some things that I don't want to say to my loved ones. There are some grievances that I don't want to release. It's because I care too much and don't want them to worry and be sad."
Zhou Yingshuang was stunned and then understood what she meant. She was really a meticulous and considerate girl. "I know. That girl …" Zhou Yingshuang couldn't help tearing up.
Jingwan nodded. "Jingwan will take her leave first."
Duchess Ding's mother, whom she relied heavily on, personally came to invite Jingwan. It was obvious that her attitude towards Jingwan had changed a lot.
Along the way, Jingwan didn't ask Duchess Ding what she wanted to do.
"Greetings, Madam."
"Get up quickly." Duchess Ding's attitude towards Jingwan was much more enthusiastic than yesterday.
Although Jingwan felt that her attitude had changed a little too quickly and was a little strange, she didn't show it. Facing Duchess Ding's scrutinizing gaze, she stood quietly and calmly. She didn't think that there was anything shameful about her.
Duchess Ding was quite impressed with her calm demeanor. She took Jingwan's hand and said, "Jingwan, I heard that your grandmother has returned to the capital. I thought that you probably wouldn't go back for the time being. I'm going to let Yijia recuperate in White Dragon Temple. Jingwan, although you are two years younger than her, you look like an elder sister. Please take care of her a little more."
"Madam, you're too serious. Everyone can see how good Sister Yijia is. Let's not talk about who should take care of who. Since we call each other sisters, we should take care of each other."
Duchess Ding nodded. "You're a good girl."
Why did these words sound a little strange?
Obviously, they were ready. It didn't take long for Duchess Ding to leave with her people. Except for a mother by Duchess Ding's side, the others left as they came.
Jingwan looked in the direction in which they left, deep in thought. Duchess Ding's attitude was really puzzling. Even if it was because of Sun Yijia, there didn't seem to be a need to go to this extent.
Sun Yijia walked to her side, took her arm, and then smiled slyly at her. "What are you talking about? Ask me what you want to know."
Jingwan felt that it was better for her not to know. "Sister Jia, you should be fine now. How about we go to the back of the mountain to pick some peach blossoms?"
Sun Yijia was a little surprised, but she didn't say much. Some things would naturally become clear when the time was right. If she said too much now, she was also worried that Sister Wan would be shy. "Okay. Anyway, our purpose of coming to White Dragon Temple is to enjoy the flowers. Although there was an accident, if we don't go and take a look, wouldn't the loss be greater?"
Jingwan nodded. "It's a pity that Qiaoqiao and Yingshuang can't go with us."
"Then pick more and fill up their rooms. Although it may be worse than outside, there will be less regret."
Therefore, Jingwan, who loved and cherished flowers, was also prepared to be a person who ruthlessly destroyed the flowers.
The mountain was full of peach blossoms. Because of their accident, or because Jin Qinwang was assassinated, White Dragon Temple had temporarily closed its doors to the public. The other families in the capital knew that White Dragon Temple was currently in troubled times, so naturally, they wouldn't let their family members come over. The people who were there before also left in a hurry these two days. Therefore, in this peach forest, there was basically only Jingwan, Sun Yijia, and the people they brought.
Wherever the flowers were the best and most beautiful, they would pick them one by one. They really didn't show any mercy when destroying them.
"Why did Miss Sun pick so many flowers?"
