Dressed as the villain's stepmother

Jiang Lianzhu was touched in her heart.

After all, she had just witnessed Jie Chi being so scared in the yard, and now, he was standing here, calmly and rationally reminding her to protect her safety.

"Little Master Jie Chi, don't worry, I'll be fine."

Compared with Jie Chi, a poor man who was abandoned by his parents in the royal temple, Jiang Lianzhu had more chips.

In addition to her own martial arts, she also has an arsenal of weapons, not to mention those men sent by His Majesty to protect her.

Therefore, no matter what, she is better able to protect herself than the lonely Jie Chi.

"I can also protect you, so can you tell me when that group of people appeared in that remote yard?"

It was obviously not the first time that Jie Chi had gone to that yard to deliver food to those people.

Even if he didn't know what those people did specifically, Jie Chi could tell Jiang Lianzhu when those people appeared in that place.

"..."

Jie Chi looked at Jiang Lianzhu in front of him, with struggle in his eyes. When he saw Zhike clearly walking slowly behind him, he immediately shut up and trotted away.

Jiang Lianzhu didn't understand it at first, but when she turned around and saw Zhike, she understood.

At present, the identity of this Zhike is confusing.

Jiang Lianzhu was very wary of him.

Anyone with a suspicious identity cannot trust the other person, because it is like handing your own knife to the other person's hand.

But Jiang Lianzhu didn't want to give up just yet.

It took her so long to get to this royal temple, and she finally found a group of suspects. No matter what, she couldn't give up.

Therefore, Jiang Lianzhu bypassed Zhike and prepared to return to the courtyard just now.

The people who were exposed just now were Zhi Ke and Jie Chi, but she was not exposed.

"Mrs. Liao, please stay!"

Unexpectedly, she ignored Zhike, but the other party came up to her without any scruples.

"I know where you are going, but you shouldn't go there. Madam Liao, don't forget your purpose of seeking His Majesty's permission to enter the royal temple this time."

Zhike reminded Jiang Lianzhu.

"Master Liao's tablet is still enshrined in the Main Hall. Madam Liao, if something happens to you, the children in your family and Master Liao who have not yet been buried will have no one to entrust them to."

When Jiang Lianzhu heard this, she frowned.

"Do you threaten me?"

Before, the monks in the royal monastery always called her Mrs. Liao, including the Zhike in front of her.

But now, the person in front of her speaks of Mrs. Liao, which is reminding her of her identity and situation.

"Mrs. Liao is joking. I am not threatening you, I am just admonishing you."

"Mrs. Liao came to our royal temple during this trip and copied scriptures for so many days. She worked so hard to save so many blessings for Master Liao. If Master Liao cannot be buried in peace in the end, Mrs. Liao, please take this trip If you come to the Royal Temple, it will be in vain.”

Zhike still looked indifferent and said.

"Pray for blessings? People say that there are many eminent monks in the royal temple and the blessings are profound. That's why I brought my husband's tablet here to ask the eminent monks to perform a ritual for him. But now it seems that this royal temple is nothing more than that!"

"Buddhism is a pure place, but there are so many people who are eating, drinking, and not scrupulously eating and drinking meat and vegetables. As a supervisor in the temple, I don't want to drive out those people who have made Buddhism a mess, but I don't want to drive them out at this time. You stopped a pilgrim like me at the exit, are you afraid that this behavior will be revealed and people will laugh at you?"

Jiang Lianzhu showed no mercy and retorted.

"In such a filthy place, I really can't believe that my husband can really receive blessings and be buried in peace!"

Every word she spoke reflected the current reality in the royal temple.

Therefore, there is no way to refute it, and there is no reason to refute it.

"Amitabha."

Zhike couldn't argue, so he just recited Buddhist scriptures silently and ignored Jiang Lianzhu.

However, he had no intention of letting it go.

Jiang Lianzhu looked at Zhike who was guarding the remote courtyard where she went. Although she was very angry, she didn't have all the evidence yet, so she couldn't cause trouble at this time and let anyone take advantage of her.

The sky is high and the emperor is far away.

In this royal temple, the person who controls everything is not the Zhike who is blocking the road and chanting sutras, but the Queen Mother who is sitting quietly in the greenhouse in the backyard.

The entire royal temple was controlled by the Queen Mother, like a piece of iron. She must not act rashly and let the Queen Mother grasp the handle.

Jiang Lianzhu turned around and left.

However, she did not give up on this matter.

Inside the Zen room.

Liu Qingqing, who was pretending to be Jiang Lianzhu, saw Jiang Lianzhu coming back again and immediately stepped forward to ask.

Jiang Lianzhu told her what she saw today.

"Sure enough, there is something wrong with this royal temple! However, now that Zhike knows your intentions, he will definitely be on guard against us at all times."

A prophecy.

Day two.

When Jiang Lianzhu went out as usual, she suddenly found that the place connecting the front yard and the backyard was guarded by monks from the royal temple.

"Shopkeeper, it's true."

Liu Qingqing took a look and sighed softly.

"Then what do we do now?"

"There's no rush. The rituals haven't been done yet. We have to stay here for a while. In the meantime, there will always be a way."

Jiang Lianzhu was not that disappointed or anxious.

In her opinion, since the people from the Royal Temple sent people to guard there, this confirmed her guess from the side.

The person in that remote courtyard is most likely related to Xue Yin, the crown prince of Prince Xiang.

With such a discovery, Jiang Lianzhu naturally wrote a sealed letter with everything she found without saying a word, and handed it over to the guards sent by His Majesty to send it out.

This time, Jiang Lianzhu did not wait too long.

At noon the next day, the guards brought back Liao Yunchuan's reply. What surprised Jiang Lianzhu was that His Majesty had already known about the filth in the temple.

"It seems that His Majesty was so happy to let me enter the Royal Temple to pray for Liao Yunchuan. His Majesty also had his own considerations in this."

In the Zen room, Jiang Lianzhu pinched Mi Xin's foot, lit it on fire, and burned it completely.

After dealing with the ashes of the secret letter, Jiang Lianzhu didn't really feel relaxed.

Because in this secret letter, His Majesty assigned her another difficult task - to force the Queen Mother to leave the temple and return to Beijing.

The Queen Mother now has the entire Royal Temple in her hands. She is rightly saying that the temptation of power is endless for a person. Jiang Lianzhu really can't think of any way to force the Queen Mother to leave the Royal Temple. Return to Beijing willingly.

Moreover, the capital is not a good place for Xiao Xiyan.

It is simply a fantasy to let these two aunts and nephews leave the royal temple, the most magnificent refuge! .
