174 Someone is helping her(2/2)

Mingluo frowned slightly, but didn't say anything more and just stood outside the tower door with Chang Suining.

Anyway, as long as she entered the tower courtyard and was within that formation, she would not be derelict in her duty as long as she watched Chang Sui Ningbu leave the courtyard.

The servants and monks quickly carried out the burned things, wiped them with water and cleaned up the traces of burning in the pagoda. Fortunately, the burned things were all scriptures, prayer flags and the like.

Seeing that it did not cause any serious trouble, Mingluo sent people to report the news to Emperor Ming Shengce, and told everyone not to say a single word about the fire at the Heavenly Girl Tower.

The monks and servants all agreed.

Today, the saint was praying in the pagoda, but a fire broke out at such a juncture. If the news spread, it would definitely attract countless speculations and criticisms.

The monk who came to deliver fast food walked into the pagoda courtyard, carrying two food boxes in his hands.

"Thank you, little master, please put my food here." Chang Suining pointed to the stone table in the courtyard.

Mingluo, who was still arranging follow-up matters, turned to look at her after hearing this.

"I can't bear to be hungry. If I'm even slightly hungry, my mood and complexion will get worse, so I won't wait for the Ming Dynasty to have dinner with me."

As Chang Suining spoke, he raised his feet and walked towards the stone table.

There was a trace of thought in Mingluo's eyes.

Will your complexion get worse if you get a little hungry?

She thought of the slightly white lips of the girl in the tower when she approached her just now.

Mingluo looked at the girl quietly, who seemed to have never understood the meaning of women's manners. After helping the monk set up the meal, he picked up the rice, picked up the chopsticks and started eating, and soon put a bowl of rice and two plates together.

Eat all the vegetarian dishes.

After putting down the bowls and chopsticks, he turned around and went to get water from the wooden bucket nearby to wash his hands.

Chang Suining, who was cleaning his hands with his back to everyone, opened his palms and looked at the black stone finger ring.

This was given to her secretly by the monk who just delivered the vegetarian meal when he and she were serving the meal together.

Did Wujue make a special trip to have it brought to her after he realized that she hadn't taken it?

Realizing that Min Luo had been staring at him, Chang Sui Ning used the action of wiping his hands to put away his finger.

Seeing Chang Suining returning to the tower on his own, Mingluo's eyes became even more thoughtful.

The inside of the tower has been cleaned up, but the doors and windows are still wide open for ventilation. The sky is already gloomy and windy, so the inside of the tower seems to have been washed away by the coolness, and all the warmth from the candles has been washed away.

Mingluo entered the tower and saw that the girl had fulfilled her promise to copy scriptures after eating. She was sitting upright and looked very serious.

Mingluo walked over and sat down.

In the next half day, it can be seen that the girl opposite her did not slack off at all. Except for occasionally getting up to move and stretch, she spent the rest of the time copying scriptures seriously.

When the sky darkened outside the window, another monk came to deliver a meal, and Chang Sui Ning put down his pen.

Mingluo also stood up, and when passing by Chang Suining's case, he stopped and glanced down, feeling ironic.

She smiled half-heartedly and said, "It seems that Mrs. Chang really likes the calligraphy of Princess Chongyue."

Chang Sui Ning, who had just taken two steps, did not look back when he heard the words. He just said casually: "Don't you think the Ming Dynasty women like it?"

Mingluo sneered silently.

Although she felt that she couldn't see through the other party's true thoughts at this time, she didn't have to worry about anything else. Throughout the whole day, there was really nothing unusual about the other party that was worth mentioning, right?

Since there is no difference, then it is not.

Since it's not, it's best never to be.

After finishing his fast meal, Chang Suining pretended to burn a stick of incense in front of the statue of the goddess, and then, under the guidance of the monk, went to a private room in the pagoda to rest.

This is a place specially prepared for her to stay in the afternoon. During these three days, "to show her sincerity in praying for blessings," she must stay in the tower for food and accommodation, and is not allowed to leave without permission.

After Chang Sui Ning rested, Mingluo left the Tiannv Tower.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! She waited for a long time outside the study room where the Holy Emperor temporarily handled political affairs, and then she saw the door of the study room was opened, and a group of ministers came out in twos and threes.

Most of these officials looked bad, and they seemed to have had a quarrel.

Ming Luo was not in a hurry to let people know because there were still people in the study.

The Holy Emperor left Cui Jing alone to talk.

"This is a secret message from Bingzhou in the afternoon... Cui Qing, please take a look." Emperor Shengce's face was a little solemn: "I want to hear Cui Qing's opinion on this matter."

Bingzhou is where Cui Jing leads.

Cui Jing took the secret letter from the servant.

Two quarters of an hour later, Cui Jing came out of the study.

Mingluo stepped forward and saluted him: "Captain Cui."

Cui Jing nodded with her.

"I wonder if the refugees from Daozhou have been properly resettled. Have they done any harm to others and caused trouble?" Mingluo asked.

"It has been placed properly and I have informed the saint." Cui Jing didn't even stop as he answered.

Mingluo pursed his lips slightly and could only say: "Master Cui, walk slowly."

Only then did she go to see the Holy Emperor.

The door to the study room was closed tightly, and Mingluo reported all the details of Chang Sui Ning's behavior in the tower to the Holy Book Emperor, except for the fact that the other party said he wanted to exchange secrets with her.

The Holy Emperor, who had not had a moment of rest all day long and was overwhelmed by many urgent tasks, was leaning back in his chair with his eyes closed, showing no emotion other than exhaustion.

Until she asked: "...why did the fire happen? Have you found out?"

This question made Mingluo become nervous silently.

Her survival instinct told her that she could not hide anything in front of her aunt. Even if there was no evidence, she should tell her guess for her aunt to judge.

She thought about it over and over afterwards. Just when Chang Suining approached her and said those words that made her lose her mind, she suddenly got angry... This timing is too coincidental, isn't it?

Sometimes, the word coincidence means many possibilities.

Should she say that this would lead to many possible coincidences?
