Ordinary days pass by like flowing water.

In the past few days, Cheng Muqing has gone to Jingyuan every day. After several days of contact, his relationship with Lin Heng has also eased. At least, he can take medicine obediently.

In addition, Cheng Muqing did not forget to go to find a "master" tonight. But before she could go to find her, her parents' family posted a post and invited her to Linyin Temple.

Linyin Temple is also considered an imperial temple. After the emperor unified the world two years ago, he began to build Buddhist temples and halls everywhere. In order to pursue immortality, he often asks people to refine alchemy and sends envoys to search for the world of immortality.

Coincidentally, there was a high monk in Linyin Temple named "Master Enlightenment".

Since they all call him master, they must be a master, and they may be able to see the problems between her and Lin Heng.

So on this day when the mist was hazy and the air was so cold that it was breathable, Cheng Muqing carried Lin Heng out.

To bear, yes, to bear.

The girl carried the boy who was thinner than her, and walked step by step to the door and got on the carriage under the surprised eyes.

The horses are delicate and the carriage is luxurious. The four walls of the carriage are covered with soft skin and a layer of warmth is also made. In the middle of the carriage, there is a small square coffee table with hot tea poured on it.

Cheng Muqing hugged Lin Heng's waist and placed him firmly on the wooden board.

"Cough cough cough..." The cold air was sucked into his lungs, making him unable to help coughing. Lin Heng's face was as pale as paper, and his phoenix eyes were faintly shining with tears.

"Tonight, bring a few clothes?" Cheng Muqing said quickly when he saw that he was coughing hard and his face was not good.

Lin Heng held his cough and his face gradually turned abnormal blushing.

"Prince, go to the carriage first." Cheng Muqing lifted the curtain of the car, held his slender waist with the other hand, and took him into the carriage.

Entering the carriage, Lin Heng sat down by the warm stove.

Cheng Muqing took two thick mink-haired cloaks from his hand tonight. She put the cloak on him and closed his collar.

Lin Heng was like a rag doll, letting her dress up.

Cheng Muqing was satisfied with successfully wearing Lin Heng into a graceful fat man, "A man must be fatter. Heavier meat can make you not be afraid of the cold!"

If the meat is thick, it is not easy to die!

At this time, Lin Heng's white little face had been buried in the sable hair on his clothes, looking obedient and cute.

Although they were not happy these few days, he was very dissatisfied with him because she "lied" him at the beginning. Now he is unwilling to go out, so she carried him out. In addition, he is like a puppet, letting her fiddle with him.

Because it was in the city, the carriage did not walk fast.

Along the way, Lin Heng leaned quietly against the inner wall of the car as usual. He lowered his eyes, and most of his face fell into the furry collar.

He was so lonely, as if he was isolated from the world.

Cheng Muqing pursed his lips and remembered what he once said that he was kind to him because he was bound by life.

Thinking about it now, he should be very lonely, right?

"Prince, no matter whether we can solve the problem this time, I will treat you well." Cheng Muqing said, "I will find you a few more servants to let them accompany you."

Lin Heng didn't reply.

A long time ago, someone said, "I will come to see you from time to time and bring you delicious food next time."

But only a month later, he never saw her again.

...

Linyin Temple is built on a mountain outside the capital. It is towering and densely forested. It is said to be a Lingshan Mountain.

The carriage was parked in an open space. Since it was a car from the royal palace, no one dared to approach it.

Cheng Muqing jumped out of the carriage and turned to help Lin Heng.

The girl's fingers were slender and slender, her skin was a little rough, and there was a thick cocoon at the tiger's mouth. Lin Heng silently placed the hand warmer on his hand on it.

"What are you doing?" Cheng Muqing smiled, "Give me a hand warmer?"

Lin Heng looked at her blankly, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"Come on." Cheng Muqing changed his hand and grabbed him, "I'll support you, you can slowly get down."

Lin Heng felt that her hands were warmer than the stove.

He helped him off the carriage, Cheng Muqing stuffed the hand warmer into his arms again. Then, he turned around and walked towards the sedan chairs of Marquis Wu'an and Duke of England not far away.

Tao and Tao Yushan bowed to the couple.

Her mother was the legitimate daughter of the British Duke's Mansion. She was born with a noble background and was very polite and polite. Her grandfather was once the Grand Tutor, and her uncle is now a title and serves as the Left Censor of the Court. Tao Yushan is her uncle's legitimate daughter and the Crown Princess. Cheng Muqing and she grew up together since childhood. They are both good friends in the boudoir and cousins.

After all, when she was away, Cheng Muqing still knew the rules. She helped the two of them up seriously and smiled at them gently, like a dignified and virtuous nobleman.

"Why did you bring the prince?" Tao looked at her and blamed her eyes, "The prince's illness has not yet recovered."

"The wound on my head is not healed by your girl," Cheng Muqing muttered in a low voice, "Why don't you see you care about me?"

"I think you are very healthy and almost ran over just now." Tao frowned, "As Princess Qi, you have to pay attention to your every move..." She began to nag.

Cheng Muqing lowered his head and dared not speak.

She followed her father's character since she was a child, and liked to be free and unrestrained, lifting tiles and playing with guns. Since childhood, the whole family of five has been criticized by her mother all day long. As the only legitimate girl from the Marquis of Wu'an, she is naturally the key object of care in her mother's eyes.

So, she was still very afraid of her mother.

The road leading to the temple on the mountain is long, with large and wide steps. It may be because the New Year is approaching, and there are pedestrians coming and going on the mountain road.

White clouds linger on the mountain, and a rhythmic bell sound came from the ancient temple.

The temple is made of mahogany, layer after layer, and at first glance, it is tall and solemn.

A famous woman stood at the entrance of the temple, young and dressed in a woman. Beside her was an elderly middle-aged woman. At this moment, the middle-aged woman was raising her hand to knock on her head.

It seemed like a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and Cheng Muqing secretly concluded in his heart.

"How can the child be lost?" The middle-aged mother-in-law stretched out her index finger and pointed at her daughter-in-law's head, "What's the use of my son marrying you? She's so cute, she can't do anything, and she even throws the child away! When I get home, I'll let my son divorce you!"

"Mom!" The daughter-in-law was obviously scared. She knelt on the ground, "No, Mom, give me another chance! Mom! Mom... at least go find the child first..."

The two stood at the entrance of the temple, and many people around looked at the fun.

Cheng Muqing looked up at the stairs. She looked serious but complained in her heart. If she didn't hurry up and look for the child, what's the use of gathering here?

Compared to her muttering in her heart, Tao Yushan is much more direct.

"This mother-in-law is really interesting. She is not in a hurry to find a child. Instead, she will perform for us passers-by to divorce our son. So that we can call us, and it will be boring on the way to burn incense." Tao Yushan's voice was not loud, but it was lightly heard into the ears of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

The mother-in-law knew that she was mocking her. She was about to curse people, but she found that the little girl was dressed in luxurious clothes and several servants were following her.

I'm afraid this is a wealthy family, so she can't afford to offend her. The anger she had just raised immediately made her swallow it. The mother-in-law looked around and found that there were people watching the fun around her, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law seemed to be laughing stocks.

"Let's go!" The mother-in-law grabbed her daughter-in-law's hair and pulled her away.

"Mom! Don't leave, we're going to find the child..." the woman cried.

"What are you looking for?" The mother-in-law was stolen, "Don't show her shame here!"

"Have you ever seen a girl of such a tall one?" Seeing that she didn't help her, the woman turned to look at other pilgrims passing by, "The round face is a little dark, a little thin..."

"It turns out that the girl was lost, no wonder that mother-in-law didn't care at all." Tao Yushan's eyebrows and eyes drooped slightly, "It's so pitiful. If such a big child fell into the hands of a human trafficker... it was probably bought as a child bride."

Cheng Muqing has also heard of this. There are some poor families who can't marry a serious wife and spend money to buy a girl as a wife. Such a kidnapped child is not expensive to sell. Human traffickers will not think that these girls are human beings, and they only have objects and interests in their eyes.

The girl sold it as a wife, and the boy bought it for some people who had no descendants as sons or were disabled, so he asked him to beg along the street.

There are many places where the daughter is born, and they will abandon it. This also leads to an imbalance in the ratio of men and women here. Many men cannot marry their wives when they are in their thirties or forties. With more such situations, human trafficking naturally fermented.

The Jin Dynasty had a very serious criminal law on human traffickers. Once caught, it would be a death sentence and the three clans were punished. The same crime was committed by the buyer, and the buyer would be beheaded. But even if the criminal law was severe, people would still choose this path.
