The queen of the last days became a maid and just wanted to lie down

Five years later, Dingnan Kingdom, Bashan County.

Kang Runyue put the wrapped braised pork elbow into the vegetable basket, covered it with a dark blue cloth, and walked out of the house carrying the basket.

When the neighbors saw her like this, they asked her with a smile, "Are you going to the Taoist temple to burn incense?"

Kang Runyue smiled and nodded, "Yes, my father's leg pain is almost healed. I have to go to the Taoist temple to ask for one last dose of medicine. After taking the medicine, my father's leg will be back to normal."

Aunt Zhu nodded when she heard this. "This old Taoist priest in Qingyun Temple is quite capable, but he is a bit weird. I can't understand what he is saying."

The woman who was washing clothes nearby couldn't help laughing at her: "That's because you can't read. The old Taoist priest is talking to you in a flowery way, but you can't understand him."

Aunt Zhu glared at her with disdain, "I don't understand, but you understand now."

The two of them didn't argue. They just criticized each other for a while and then started chatting about other things with a laugh.

Kang Runyue carried a basket of vegetables and walked quickly out of the town.

The road was sunny and breeze was blowing gently. She went down a few steps, crossed a small bridge, and arrived at the road outside the town.

Kang Runyue met Zhang San coming from outside the city and greeted him, "Brother San, are you going to the market?"

"Yes, freshly made rice dumplings. Isn't this selling something fresh as the Dragon Boat Festival is approaching?"

Kang Runyue smiled. Zhang San saw that she seemed to be going out of the city and up the mountain, so he turned around and called her.

"Ayue, it's been a mess out there lately. If you must go to the mountains, go to crowded places. Don't walk along the side trails alone."

Kang Runyue paused after hearing this, "What do you mean, Third Brother? Could it be that the Great Zhou is attacking us?"

Zhang San shook his head. "I'm not sure either. I heard from the villagers a few days ago that the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty was defeated, and those deserters didn't dare to go back. Somehow they ended up in our Dingnan area and became bandits. Some people said that they saw those deserters here. I think it's really uneasy for a girl like you to go out. Why don't you ask others to accompany you?"

Kang Runyue thought about it, smiled and shook his head: "Not really, I'll just take the main road. There are so many people on the road. If the situation is not right, I'll find a place to hide. Thank you, Third Brother."

Seeing that she was determined to go, Zhang San did not continue to dissuade her.

Come to think of it, there is no need to be afraid. We are going to Qingyun Temple, and the master of the temple is no ordinary person.

Zhang San continued to go to the market with his load on his shoulder, while Kang Runyue left the town and headed towards the road up the mountain.

The journey was peaceful and I didn't see any deserters. Instead, I saw many people going to the market.

Some people rode in ox carts, some walked, and life went on as usual.

Kang Runyue felt that even if Da Zhou attacked, it wouldn't be easy to get here.

Dingnan is a place with high mountains and steep roads. It is not like the vast Beichen Plain, so it is not easy to fight there.

Thinking of this, she carried the basket and walked up the mountain road to Qingyun Temple.

The Taoist temple is built on the hillside. If it rains, it will be surrounded by clouds and mist, giving it a fairy-like atmosphere.

The sun came out today and the fog on the mountain dissipated. Along the way, there were people like her, carrying baskets and money for incense and candles to burn incense.

Kang Runyue was sweating profusely before he reached the halfway point of the mountain.

I saw many pilgrims coming to burn incense early.

She lit the incense as she did before, put it in the huge incense burner in front of the temple, bowed devoutly, and then carried the basket into the hall.

There are several little Taoist children who help to greet the pilgrims and tell them where to burn incense and where to interpret the fortune.

When the Taoist boy saw Kang Runyue, he immediately came forward with a smile to greet her.

"Madam Kang is here. The abbot has been waiting for you for a long time."

Kang Runyue smiled and handed him two candies, "Thank you for your help, little master."

The young Taoist priest took the candy and couldn't help but smile, "Thank you, Madam Kang."

He led people to the backyard obediently, and Kang Runyue saw from a distance an old man with a white beard sitting under the huge century-old pine tree.

The old man was wearing a Taoist robe that was washed so much that it looked white. He sat cross-legged, seemingly meditating on something.

As Kang Runyue approached, the old Taoist priest opened his eyes.

"Come to get medicine?"

Kang Runyue nodded and handed the basket over, saying, "Master, this is the braised meat I made at home. Please try it."

Before the old Taoist priest could react, a man suddenly jumped down from the tree, snatched the basket, opened it, and quickly stuffed a piece of meat into his mouth.

Seeing her like this, the old Taoist priest just shook his head helplessly and asked the Taoist boy to get medicine for Kang Runyue.

When Kang Runyue saw the man's appearance, she did not feel flustered or rude. Instead, she took out a small jar of fruit juice from the basket.

She walked up to the person and said, "Sister, drink some fruit juice. Don't choke."

As soon as the words fell, the other party seemed to feel choked and patted her chest. Kang Runyue hurriedly opened the jar of fruit juice for her. The person drank several mouthfuls and swallowed the meat before feeling better.

The man swallowed a piece of meat, ate a few peanuts, and said with a smile: "Ah Yue, your cooking skills are really getting better and better. No wonder your Kang family's braised meat is so famous in town."

Kang Runyue was delighted to see that she liked it. "It was my sister who gave me the advice. Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to take over the shop, do this business, and live a good life."

Xu Yao waved her hand and said that it had nothing to do with her, she was just talking, and it was their ability to get things done.

Then he looked at the old man beside him and said, "Would you like some?"

Seeing that she was acting like a naughty monkey, the old man felt helpless.

"Didn't I tell you to eat less meat? Your body hasn't fully recovered yet."

Xu Yao scratched his ear and yawned. "How can you maintain your health if you don't eat well? Your logic is wrong. Besides, my health must be much better now. I have been taking care of it for many years. Look at me, I am very strong."

As she spoke, she patted her chest, trying to prove that she was indeed strong, but ended up making herself cough.

Kang Runyue hurried over and gently stroked her back to help her calm down.

Xu Yao shook his head helplessly. He really brought this upon himself. He could only blame himself for his impulse and jumping off the cliff with others.

The enemy was killed by her, and half of her body was destroyed.

Fortunately, Zhao Xi's wish was finally fulfilled and the little girl was sent away.

Now this body belongs to her completely, but it is a little regrettable that it is weak and not as strong as before.

As for the treasures left by Zhang Yao, although she knew where they were, she never had the chance to take them.

As she spoke, she looked at the old Taoist priest beside her and asked, "Tell me the truth, how long do I have to take care of my body? If I continue to do so, I think I will be ruined."

The old Taoist glanced at her and said, "I see that you are very free and easy. You are just like that naughty monkey, you can do anything, go up the mountain or down the sea. Is there any place in the entire Qingyun Temple that you haven't messed around with?"

Kang Runyue couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and Xu Yao scratched his head. "It's not my fault. You didn't let me go down the mountain, and insisted that I stay here to recuperate for several years. Anyone would get sick if they kept it to themselves."
