Dressed as the villain's stepmother

Jiang Lianzhu said nothing for a while.

Since she can't get in, there's no way to find out what she wants to know.

Suddenly, Jiang Lianzhu thought of something.

"I remember that you have a method of hypnotizing the other party. If possible, can you also hypnotize those people around the Queen Mother?"

Liu Qingqing has outstanding abilities, and she knows a lot of things.

In addition to medical skills, Liu Qingqing's abilities in medicine and hypnosis are also extraordinary. Jiang Lianzhu thought of her previous self, and she almost became famous because of Liu Qingqing's technique.

It is precisely because of this that Jiang Lianzhu is convinced that Liu Qingqing's ability in hypnosis is indeed outstanding.

"Yes, but you have to do these things step by step. In other words, shopkeeper, I need time."

Liu Qingqing did not hide it and spoke frankly to Jiang Lianzhu.

"You know that my thing is not really able to hypnotize the other person. Ultimately, it just makes those who are close to me trust me a little more without knowing it."

"Therefore, it is precisely because of this reason that I cannot be too aggressive. If the time is too short, it may arouse the other party's suspicion and alertness. As long as this situation occurs, my hypnosis technology will be used by others. see through."

Liu Qingqing needs time.

Only by quietly infiltrating the moisturizer can those who are close to her not easily detect her purpose, and when they escape afterwards, they will not involve her and Jiang Lianzhu.

"Okay, I'll help you delay the time. I'll leave it to you to get the news from those maids!"

The two work together.

At the moment, Liu Qingqing is her nominal maid. She is very inconspicuous in this royal temple, and it is not easy for others to detect her doing some things.

But her situation, Jiang Lianzhu, was just the opposite of Liu Qingqing's.

She was not a member of the royal family, so entering this royal temple was an unusual thing. Jiang Lianzhu believed that even if Xiao Xiyan did not doubt her, the Queen Mother next to Xiao Xiyan would also begin to doubt her.

Fortunately, when Jiang Lianzhu entered the royal temple that day, she found an honest reason.

In the next few days, she kept going step by step, going from the Zen room to the Main Hall to copy and recite scriptures.

Until this day, she gave all the scriptures she had copied to the little master Jie Chi.

In the past few days, Jiang Lianzhu has been following the requirements of her little master Jie Chi, and has been a pilgrim in the royal temple who meditates on the Buddha and prays for blessings.

"Jie Chi, little master, I have copied all these scriptures. I wonder what the little master and the masters in the temple think about performing rituals for my husband, Liao Yunchuan, to drive away evil spirits?"

Jiang Lianzhu, dressed in plain clothes, asked for the exit.

What she wanted to do when she left the capital and came to the royal temple this time was to hold a ritual ceremony for Liao Yunchuan. Now, Jiang Lianzhu naturally wanted to supervise this matter.

"Female donor, don't be anxious. The young monk has informed the presiding abbot about this matter. The female donor has been in this main hall, sincerely copying and reciting scriptures for her husband. The young monk will definitely report this matter to the presiding abbot. I believe that soon, regarding this matter, There will be a response.”

Jie Chi and Jie Ai are both young monks in the temple. Naturally, they are not qualified to perform rituals.

The final decision on this matter still depends on the arrangements made by the presiding abbot.

"Thank you, little master. I'm not in a hurry. I will continue to copy and recite the scriptures until the abbot presides over the ceremony."

Jiang Lianzhu said nothing to the little master Jie Chi.

In the following days, Jiang Lianzhu once again lived a life of copying and reciting scriptures every day. Many times, she rarely even went out of her meditation room.

And if she wanted to get information, she could only get the information from Liu Qingqing.

Because Liu Qingqing was just a little maid, not many people noticed Liu Qingqing's movements these days.

It is precisely because of this that Liu Qingqing got a lot of news.

"I heard from the people serving Xiao Xiyan that when Xiao Xiyan had a bad reputation in Kyoto and was forced to go to the royal temple to accompany the Queen Mother to eat fast and chant Buddha, she was not used to it and even made a scene in the temple. A while."

Jiang Lianzhu was not too surprised by the news.

This is the Xiao Xiyan she has seen.

"Xiao Xiyan has probably never been wronged since she was born. Her father is the Prime Minister, the leader of all officials. Many people in the civil and military circles of the Manchu Dynasty are her father's disciples. She herself is still a direct descendant of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Girl, the family is backed by a big tree called the Queen Mother, and she has been well-dressed and well-fed since she was born. No matter how well-built this royal temple is, it cannot compare to the fairy days she lived in the capital."

Xiao Xiyan's arrogant and domineering style was born in such an environment day by day.

"If this is the only thing, of course it's not surprising. Shopkeeper, what I want to tell you is another thing."

Liu Qingqing looked around and saw no one around before continuing.

"After Xiao Xiyan entered the royal temple, she once sneaked out quietly. The maid who served her said that she left for more than half a month!"

"These are all hypnotized bit by bit by me from the maids who serve Xiao Xiyan. In order to confirm the authenticity of this matter, I also asked the same questions to several other maids who served me. From their It was also confirmed by my mouth.”

Xiao Xiyan left the Royal Temple.

This news is exactly what Jiang Lianzhu wants to know!

She immediately became energetic, put aside the scriptures in her hand, and then continued to ask.

"Liu Qingqing, have you ever asked clearly what Xiao Xiyan did when she left the Royal Temple? What changes happened to her whole person after she returned to the Royal Temple?"

Jiang Lianzhu can't wait to know the answer.

And she believed that this time, the truth of that day might be found from Xiao Xiyan.

"Shopkeeper, I can only answer half of the questions you asked."

Liu Qingqing said embarrassedly with a reluctant look on her face.

"How do you say that?"

Jiang Lianzhu was suspicious.

"Actually, the thing is like this. When Xiao Xiyan left, she left with a group of people who were waiting for her. But when she came back, all the people around Xiao Xiyan were changed. So, even the maids who were waiting for her I don’t know what happened when Xiao Xiyan left the Royal Temple.”

"Are you saying that the people around Xiao Xiyan have changed? Only part of them, or all of them?"

An idea flashed through Jiang Lianzhu's mind, and he quickly asked for an explanation.

"I heard from the maids who were waiting that it wasn't just one or two people who were replaced. They all looked at the people Xiao Xiyan brought back and didn't recognize them."

Hearing this, Jiang Lianzhu thought of what Liao Yunchuan said about the group of people hired by Xue Yin who pretended to be ship repairers and successfully allocated goods. .
