Chapter 123(1/3)

The two most powerful people in Kyoto are one of the high priests and the other is the queen mother who ruled the country from behind the curtain.

The Witch Palace was originally just an institution responsible for royal sacrifices, but later it gradually evolved into a temple rooted in the temple. After assisting the Empress Dowager in controlling the government, its power also reached its peak.

It is not surprising to say that one person is below one person and above ten thousand people.

The puppet prince that everyone thinks is actually supported by powerful forces behind their backs.

This small young priest's mansion is like a small boat in the waves.

Chen Rong opened a furnace of elixirs, put the nine pills inside into the porcelain bottle, and handed them to Qing'an: "Don't accept orders in the future, do you understand?"

"Shopkeeper, are we going to change careers?" Qing'an wondered. Rong Diaoge's business is making money every day, which is very good. He can no longer think of a more profitable way than this.

"No." Chen Rong sighed: "Your master, I'm going to do a big business. After getting all these orders done, I will stop washing my hands."

"Ah?" Qing'an was blinded by her words, "Is it so sudden?"

Chen Rong manages Rong Diaoge well, and he will stop doing it if he says he doesn’t do it. It’s a pity.

"Well, but the shop is still here. Didn't my mother mention that she wants to live elsewhere and is not used to Kyoto?" Chen Rong wiped her hands with the veil handed over by Xiao Ling, without any jokes, "So I'm going to take you to another place. If you don't take good care of it, I'll just ask."

"Yes, yes, how could I do what the shopkeeper ordered?" Although Qing'an was puzzled, he didn't ask much. He knew Chen Rong's unspoken nature. Her work made people feel that it was appropriate and reliable, so he just did what the shopkeeper said.

Chen Rong was still relieved about Qing'an. Although this kid was quite tempted, he was smart. Even if he left Kyoto, he could live a good life. And with Daju and Xiaoling, he had nothing to worry about.

Chen Rong added: "Your Sister Diao will send you away, it's safer."

She has just become the high priest and has no intention of getting out of the way, but she cannot let Guo Xiulan and the others stay in such a dangerous environment. If she does the same as last time, she will be so irresponsible. Kyoto will be peaceful for a few days in the future and cannot take care of so much.

After hearing Chen Rong say this, Qing'an realized the seriousness of the matter and said solemnly: "Yes, don't worry, the shopkeeper, I will definitely protect my wife and Baoer's brother."

Chen Rong nodded with relief.

After she refined the elixir in the shop, she took Guo Xiulan and the others to the largest restaurant for a meal, ordered a large table of dishes, and also gave her farewell meal.

"Mom, I have something to tell you. I want to send you to Jiangnan for a while. How about you?" Chen Rong picked up many things for Chen Baoer, but he still spoke a little embarrassedly.

Guo Xiulan hesitated: "Are you hiding something from me? Why did you let us leave Kyoto so suddenly?"

Chen Rong smiled, not hiding it from her: "Because the court environment is complicated now, I am now the disciple of the young priest, so I am afraid it will be difficult to stay out of it."

Guo Xiulan nodded. She knew nothing, so she naturally didn't want to be a drag on Chen Rong. She instructed: "Then you are alone in Kyoto, so you have to be careful in everything. My mother is increasingly not understanding your ideas, but she knows that you are a good and independent child. I don't want any wealth and honor, I just want a family to be safe and sound."

Chen Rong patted her on the shoulder, "Don't worry, I will go find you when things are settled."

Qing'an coughed twice and raised his glasses: "Don't look so depressed, everyone, come on, let's cheer, anyway, we'll meet again in a short while."

Chen Rong nodded, raised his glass with a smile: "Come on, thank you for being with me during this period."

There is a banquet that will last forever in the world.

I don’t know when I will meet again this time.

Chen Rong drank a lot of wine, and at the end of the banquet, he gave all the savings he had earned in Rong Diao Pavilion to Guo Xiulan.

"I have exchanged all the gold and silver bills for you to bring them with you. In addition, there are also these broken silvers for some use on the road." Chen Rong exhaled: "I hired a guard to protect you, and I can help you see the house when I get there. By the way, remember to pay ten taels of silver to others every year."

Chen Rong was amused by his last words.

"Carry up tomorrow and leave early the morning after tomorrow."

Guo Xiulan's eyes were red: "You gave me all the money, what should you do?"

"I still have money. I live in the Young Priest's Mansion and can't spend money." Chen Rong comforted: "My affairs are resolved, and I'll go find you right away."

Guo Xiulan nodded and got on the carriage.

Chen Rong stood alone at the restaurant, brightly lit and lively everywhere, but her slender figure seemed a little lonely.

"Go home." A voice rang.

Chen Rong turned around and saw a carriage that had been docked here for a long time, but the person who had just lifted the curtain turned out to be Fengque.

Chen Rong was stunned for a moment, put his cloak together, got on the carriage, and sat down, "Why are you here? How long have you been waiting for me here? You won't have dinner, right?"

Fengque moved his sight unnaturally.

She heard that Chen Rong had not come back all day and asked Qiuye to help recruit guards. She felt something was wrong and went to Rong Diao Pavilion habitually, but the door was closed and there was no one there. She thought Chen Rong was leaving, so she found this place and waited for her to go downstairs.

I didn't eat.

"The door of Rong Diaoge was not opened today?" Feng Que asked, adding, "I happened to see you, so I waited here."

Chen Rong nodded and sniffed. It was very cold outside. He opened the curtain and saw that it was covered with silver on the outside. The branches were covered with ice branches, the eaves were white, and the sky was also white gray, pressing low.

"I won't be able to run Rong Diaoge in the future, and I don't have the heart to refine alchemy now. Look at me, with a big financial supporter like you, naturally I don't have to go out to work hard, right?" Chen Rong joked.

Unexpectedly, Fengque looked at her steadily and nodded: "Okay."

Chen Rong met her serious eyes, and for some reason, his heartbeat suddenly missed, and he looked away awkwardly. This was the first woman who wanted to raise her.

"If you like to go to Rong Diao Pavilion for tea, then I'll leave the shop and change it to a teahouse."

Fengque just likes the purity there.

"You're leaving Kyoto?"

Chen Rong shook her head and thought to herself that she had misunderstood, but she felt funny when she was striking indirectly, "No, it's because my mother can't live here, so I'll send them away. I'll leave here."

Fengque lowered his eyes and said nothing.

Chen Rong rented a carriage and asked Senior Diao to accompany Guo Xiulan and his party to go south. When he was sure that he had no spy, he found a good place to settle down.

The villa was also empty in an instant.

Chen Rong sighed, stood at the entrance of the city wall and watched the ordinary carriage roll with wheels away, and the sound gradually became farther away, and there was only the noise of Kyoto hawking in his ears. She had just turned around and walked a few steps when she met an old acquaintance.

Mrs. Lin was just taken to Kyoto and then came out to breathe. Compared to her arrogant and refined appearance in the village before, her face is much yellow and haggard, but it is as difficult as ever.

"Are they all fools?" Mrs. Lin slapped the maid in the face, "I asked you to take me to a restaurant, who asked you to take me to such a broken place! I didn't give enough money? Why did the master raise you vixen?"

"Madam, I'm sorry, I know my mistake..." The maid was beaten and knelt down quickly, crying and said, "It was the lady who said she wanted a lively place..."

Mrs. Lin kicked her: "I tell you, I thought I was so fooled, so I was just standing there and selling her to me in the tram, right away!"

"No, madam, no!" The maid was so scared that her face was pale. She hugged Mrs. Lin's leg and begged for mercy, but was lifted away by the guard.

Many people pointed at each other, thinking that this person was too harsh and didn't know whose wife was so domineering.

Chen Rong was a little surprised when she saw Mrs. Lin, but she was the wife of Village Chief Lin, so it was normal for her to be taken to Kyoto. She couldn't help but say that the enemy was narrow.

"stop!"

When Chen Rong was about to leave, he was suddenly stopped and turned around and saw Mrs. Lin pointing at her.

"Chen Rong, it's this bitch Chen Rong!" Mrs. Lin said why she kept picking her eyes. Unexpectedly, she would meet Chen Rong. "It's just right, I'm looking for you everywhere, and you even sent it to my eyes to die! I will never let you go today!"

Chen Rong looked at Mrs. Lin contemptuously, and said in a sarcastic tone: "Why is Madam so angry? It's really embarrassing to be so cruel in public. If you ask me to stop, I don't know someone like you."

"Don't you know me? Do you think you don't know Chen Rong if you put on good clothes and pretend to be a rich man?" Mrs. Lin laughed and wanted to cut her off, and said to the servants beside her: "Take this little bitch down quickly!"

Chen Rong looked at her dress and guards, probably Village Chief Lin had already re-officially re-officially? Otherwise, where would she have such a big posture?

"Madam, please consider your words and deeds. I am not a soft persimmon, so I can let you control it."

Seeing that Chen Rong was powerless, the attendant never thought that she could have the power to resist. She rushed over recklessly, but was kicked over by her.

"Ouch" the guards fell to the ground.

"Why is Mrs. Lin so reckless?" Chen Rong looked at Mrs. Lin, curled her lips and said contemptuously: "This is Kyoto, not that small place anymore. Even if you become a Lady Official now, you don't have the ability to move me."

"If you kill my son, I will not let you go." Mrs. Lin glared at Chen Rong hatefully.

People were coming and going on the street, and when they saw the movement, they gathered over to join in the fun.

"Look at you like a crazy woman." Chen Rong snorted: "Your son is short of his life, don't throw dirty water on me."

Princess Jiangcheng came back from the temple to burn incense and was sleeping in the sedan chair. The carriage stopped and then slowly opened her eyes. She opened the curtain and saw that the crowd was blocked along the street. She asked the maid with some confusion: "Go down and see what's going on."

The maid came back soon and reported: "It was Zhangguan Chen who was blocked by a middle-aged woman, saying that Zhangguan Chen killed her son."

Princess Jiangcheng was stunned for a moment. Although she didn't understand Chen Rong, she still felt good about her current appearance. She heard that Rong Diao Pavilion would no longer open the door yesterday.

"Helping me down quickly." Princess Jiangcheng said to the maid.

Mrs. Lin’s resentment towards Chen Rong has been going on for more than a day.

Chen Rong looked at her indifferently and was so angry that she was angry. Although the other party wanted to put her on the spot, no one was close to Chen Rong's body, and it was just a small fuss.

"I tell you, as long as you are in Kyoto, you can't escape!" Mrs. Lin was also angry.

"I don't know who is so angry that even the old customers dare to move?" Princess Jiangcheng walked into the crowd, and the crowd made way out in an instant. Seeing Chen Rong's demeanor inside, the woman opposite was full of dirty words without any image, "You are so brave to bully a little girl in the street!"

The maid glanced at Mrs. Lin, who had not yet figured out the situation, and cursed: "You unopener bitch, don't kneel down when you see our princess?"

Mrs. Lin was stunned for a moment, and before she could react, she saw a group of kneeling around her, and then she realized it and quickly knelt down, sweating in cold sweat: "The civilian woman didn't know that the princess was coming, but she had some personal grudges with Chen Rong..."

"Chen Rong is the guest of honor in my princess's mansion, how can you let you bully it?" Princess Jiang Cheng snorted, and at first she was puzzled. She looked like a shrew at first.

Chen Rong bowed to Princess Jiangcheng: "Thank you, Princess."

Princess Jiangcheng helped Chen Rong and comforted him a few words. Seeing their familiar appearance, Mrs. Lin realized that Chen Rong was no longer the yellow-haired girl back then.

"Which family are you from?" Princess Jiangcheng glanced at Mrs. Lin and refused to let her get up.

Although Mrs. Lin was angry, she was not too brainless to drag down her family, so she quickly admitted her mistake: "It was a civilian woman who didn't know Mount Tai and ran into the princess. The civilian woman just came to Kyoto to visit her relatives..."

"Hmph, since you don't say it, just check it yourself." Princess Jiangcheng sneered twice despite Mrs. Lin's begging for mercy, "I have to rely on my old age to protect Manager Chen. What kind of person is she and what kind of person are you? This Kyoto is not a place where you can make mistakes."

Since Princess Jiangcheng said she wanted to investigate, this was a big deal. When Lin Chao arrived, his official uniforms had not even had time to change, and he rushed into the crowd and knelt down.
