Mu Qingchao was not surprised. If Princess Zhenguo was really that obedient, she would not be called Princess Zhenguo.
"Queen Mother, would you like me to accompany you?" In comparison, Lu Li seemed more anxious.
"If Princess Zhenguo takes any action at that time, her subordinates..."
"No need." But Lu Li's words were rejected by Mu Qingchao before he could finish his words.
"This place is not just for the princess of the country. There are many people with mixed eyes. If the emperor discovers your existence, it will be difficult to explain."
It is really unreasonable that she, a queen mother, would keep a secret guard in the palace.
"However, Princess Zhenguo's visit is not good. My subordinates are afraid that they will not be able to protect her and you will be in danger." Lu Li said worriedly.
"It doesn't matter."
Mu Qingchao was able to sit down and drink tea calmly.
This mountain tea is brewed from mountain spring water, making it extra sweet.
"How can we bring down the emperor if we can't sacrifice his life?" Mu Qing said.
When did she not come with a fight-or-die attitude?
Isn't it because she was able to narrowly win every struggle just by being more courageous than others?
If you are afraid of death, where can you sit here and drink tea peacefully?
At this time, a monk knocked on the door.
Lu Li was very alert and jumped out of the window in a flash.
The monk opened the door and came in, saying: "Your Majesty, the food is served in front of you."
"Okay, the Ai family is coming."
Mu Qingchao changed his clothes. Although it was cool in the mountains, it was still hot. He changed into a plain thin shirt. Thinking that he didn't need to dress too ostentatiously in the Buddhist holy land, he took off his hairpin, put on heavy makeup, and left the clear soup without water.
Then we went to the front yard.
The vegetarian food in the temple is indeed light, but it also tastes very different.
Even the tofu mixed with wild chives is particularly sweet.
Mu Qingchao had been hungry and could eat delicacies from mountains and seas, so he could eat this porridge and side dishes with gusto.
But Princess Zhenguo couldn't do it. After picking it up with chopsticks twice, she completely lost her appetite.
Her mind was not on the food, but she didn't say anything.
By the time everyone had finished their dinner, it was already dark.
Mu Qingchao followed the monks to the Zen room to do evening classes, but Princess Zhenguo grabbed her impatiently.
"You can tell me now."
Mu Qingchao turned around with a look of astonishment on his face: "What did you say?"
Princess Zhenguo was furious for a moment: "What did you say? I'm an orphan."
"Concubine Rong?" Mu Qingchao pretended to be ignorant: "Concubine Rong is in the palace. Her Highness the Princess asks what the Ai family is doing?"
"you……"
Princess Zhenguo's eyes almost burst out with fire.
After all, he suppressed his temper and said, "You are deliberately trying to fool me, right? You didn't say that. As long as I accompany you to the mountain to worship the Buddha, you will tell me Rong'er's condition."
"Ai Jia...have you ever said this?" Mu Qingchao blinked innocently with a smile on his face.
"What the Ai family said was that the weather was getting hot, so they invited the princess to go up to the mountain to worship the Buddha so that they could talk about the friendship between sister and sister. When did they say anything about Concubine Rong?
The princess is really ridiculous. The Ai family has lived alone for a long time since the death of the late emperor, and they have not cared about the affairs of the harem. If you want to care about the imperial concubine, just ask His Majesty. What is the point of pestering the Ai family?"
Her smile was relaxed, and her smiling eyes reflected the appearance of the princess, making her look like a fool.
"Mu Qingchao..."
Princess Zhenguo called her name through gritted teeth, and she used so much force in her hands that she wished she could be crushed into pieces.
She was also confused. How could she believe that Mu Qingchao would have any good intentions?
A woman who has made trouble since entering the palace is evil to the core. How can such a person have the conscience to sincerely help her?
It's just that she is making a fool of herself by looking at her caring for her daughter.
The funny thing is that she just took the bait.
When she was lost in thought, she heard Mu Qingchao pretending to moan.
"Your Highness, you have pinched the Ai family."
She withdrew her hand, rubbed her wrist, and said coquettishly: "Princess, what's wrong? She seems to want to eat the Ai family. In the important place of Buddhism, anger, stupidity, and anger are taboo.
Princess, this is disrespectful to Buddha."
Her tone was so understated.
"Evening classes are about to begin, so the Aijia will stop chatting with the princess.
I have heard that listening to more sutras can clear your mind and calm down your resentments. Princess, you really should come and listen to it, you will be so resentful..."
After she finished speaking, she turned around and headed towards the Buddhist hall.
She was obviously wearing plain and elegant clothes, but coupled with her seductive gaze, she gave people an even more charming charm.
She just has this ability. The more bland her clothes are, the more charming she is from her bones. She is a beauty who is born to seduce men.
Princess Zhenguo stood there, staring at her back with her eyes.
She doesn't just want to eat her?
She had lived for most of her life, but had she ever been so angry? At this moment, she just wished she could skin her and drink her blood.
"Mu Qingchao..."
She gritted her teeth.
"You just wait for Gu. If Gu doesn't crush you to ashes and avenge today, then Gu, the princess, will be in vain."
The practice in the temple is harsh, and it is already time for the monks to finish their evening classes.
I'm used to being delicate on weekdays, but sitting for such a long time is really a bit uncomfortable.
Mu Qingchao returned to the courtyard where he stayed, rubbed his hard neck, and called out: "Chunya, come and rub it with Aijia."
But there was no reply.
"Qiangwei?" Mu Qingchao called again.
Stepping into the courtyard, she frowned, sensing something was wrong, and quickly stepped back.
But the door behind him closed with a bang.
Suddenly, a sharp blade stabbed out of the darkness. Mu Qingchao couldn't dodge and kicked her behind with one foot.
Her knees weakened and she knelt down.
My knees hit the ground, and I felt so painful that I shed tears.
Seeing that the blade had pierced his eyes, Lu Li in the darkness saw this and clenched the knife in his hand, but he heard a shout coming from the darkness.
"I want to live alone."
The sharp blade turned in one direction and scraped across Mu Qingchao's face, bringing out a string of blood beads.
In an instant, a hand grabbed Mu Qingchao's arm from behind.
Mu Qingchao was in pain and shock, and had no time to react. When he raised his head, he saw a figure approaching in front of him.
Princess Zhenguo held a lantern in her hand, with a sneer on her lips.
That arrogance was just as arrogant and domineering as when we first met him.
She approached Mu Qingchao, and a slap fell on her face with a "snap" sound.
"Bitch!"
That palm was not painless. Mu Qingchao had to bite his lip hard to hold back the pain and make himself look less embarrassed.
Princess Zhenguo was still angry after being slapped, so she pinched her face with one hand.
She looked into her eyes: "Weren't you very proud just now? You should show me how proud you are!"
