Was the whole group wiped out in the previous life? Reborn to drag the crippled king into the bridal

That was the first time Chu Xuanchi met Mo Zhaohua.

At that time, he was less than ten years old and was a poor prince. Mo Zhaohua was five years old and went to the palace to visit her aunt, Concubine De.

She was lively and likable, and was deeply loved by Concubine De, so she was specially brought into the palace. Later, she became the princess's study companion, and he could see her occasionally.

Later one day, he was bullied by other princes and the aristocratic disciples who accompanied him to study, and he hid in the cold palace to lick his wounds.

She actually succeeded in finding him and stretched out her cute little hand to him, "Mom said that if you eat the candy, the pain will go away."

In her open palm, there were two candied lotus seeds and a small piece of maltose wrapped in oil paper.

Sugared lotus seeds are relatively common, but maltose is extremely rare. The portions given to princes and princesses are limited, let alone as study companions.

"Sugar lotus seeds are sweet at first but bitter later on. Zhao Zhao will be with you through the bitterness. Maltose is sweet all over, so you don't need Zhao Zhao to be with you."

She ate a candied lotus seed herself and passed the other one to his mouth, her twinkling eyes filled with anticipation.

Chu Xuanchi couldn't bear to refuse her in the end, and without caring about etiquette, he bit off the candied lotus seed from her little hand.

Because the sugar lotus seeds were very small, his lips accidentally touched her fingertips, but she didn't feel disgusted at all.

Mo Zhaohua grabbed his hand, turned it over so that his palm was facing up, and then placed the maltose on it.

She said softly, "Brother Xuan Chi, if you feel pain, just eat candy. It will stop hurting if it's sweet. Mother won't lie to me."

When he was twelve years old, he was exiled to southern Xinjiang by his father and did not return for ten years.

In ten years, he was transformed from a poor and humiliated prince into a god of war that the Southern Zhao Kingdom feared.

If there had not been a traitor in the army last year, which delayed the arrival of reinforcements, he would not have been besieged and seriously injured.

He had inquired about Mo Zhaohua's news in southern Xinjiang and learned that she and Chu Xuanhan were in love with each other and it was very likely that she would enter the palace as a concubine.

Although he didn't know whether Chu Xuanhan was her ideal partner, he knew that since he had become a waste, there was no possibility for him to be with her anymore.

From last winter to this spring, he deliberately ignored her news, but now she sent him a visiting card.

He couldn't guess what she meant. After a long silence, he finally picked up the visiting card and unfolded the letter.

The elegant handwriting came into view, but it was just an ordinary visiting card, which made him feel a little disappointed.

He forced a self-deprecating smile. What was he expecting?

She was just a little child back then, but now she already has a lover.

Chu Xuanchi suddenly put down the letter, raised his hand to cover his lips, and began to cough softly, "Cough cough..."

Wuying, who was standing at the side, came over to pour tea and said, "Master, do you want to ask the court doctor to come and see you again?"

Chu Xuanchi's cheeks flushed, "No need, the second Miss Mo will come to visit the day after tomorrow, enter through the side door, you go and meet her in person."

He hadn't seen her for ten years, and he wanted to see what she looked like now. Even if there was no possibility for them to be together again, he still wanted to see her.

Wuying's eyes suddenly brightened when he heard this, "Yes, Master."

***

The next day.

Mo Yaohua is sick.

Jinqiu couldn't get out of bed either.

Mo Zhaohua, however, had a face as rosy as a peach, bright and charming.

She left Amber at home and took Pearl to Baohua Temple.

Although Baohua Temple is not a national temple, its popularity is no less than that of a national temple.

The temple is located in Qixia Mountain on the outskirts of Shengjing City. The journey is a little far and it takes a day to go there and back by horse carriage.

However, the imperial capital has always been peaceful, so Mo Zhaohua only brought a personal maid and two guards with him when he went out.

In addition, a carriage was prepared, equipped with maids and guards, which was the old lady's vehicle.

Mo Zhaohua's father was the Minister of Revenue, so each of his masters could be equipped with a carriage, but the specifications would vary.

"Miss, the fortune-telling at Baohua Temple is the most effective. You are about to have your coming-of-age ceremony. Would you like to ask for a fortune-telling for your marriage?"

As a personal maid, Pearl could sit inside as long as the lady allowed, instead of sitting outside with the coachman.

Mo Zhaohua's mind moved slightly. She wanted to see her fate with Chu Xuanchi. "Okay, I also want to ask for a peace amulet for my mother."

In her previous life, since she was fifteen years old, she no longer called Rong Qing "mother", but only called her mother. She changed her name after her rebirth.

Mother is too formal, mother is more intimate, and only she can call her that. Other children in the mansion can only call Rong Qing mother, which is the name for the legal mother.

The journey was safe and after half a day the carriage reached the halfway point of Qixia Mountain, and the rest of the way had to be walked up.

Mo Zhaohua got off the carriage, asked the two coachmen to wait on the mountainside, and continued to go up the mountain with the others.

There were a lot of people on the road, most of them were from wealthy families, and they were so crowded and lively, like a spring outing.

Mo Zhaohua arrived at the temple in the morning. She did not go to see the old lady immediately, but asked others to wait outside the temple.

She brought Zhenzhu to the main hall to burn incense, gave money, and asked for three amulets for peace.

You can ask for the amulet from Baohua Temple three times at a time. If you want to ask for more, no matter who you are, you have to come back next time.

The temple’s explanation is that things cannot happen more than three times. If you ask for too much at one time and your heart is not sincere enough, the amulet will not work.

After praying for the amulet, Mo Zhaohua went to draw lots for marriage, but he could only draw one lot at a time at Baohua Temple.

Whether you are asking about marriage or future, you can only choose one of the two and draw a lot, otherwise it will not work.

Mo Zhaohua knelt on the mat in front of the Buddha statue and shook the stick tube devoutly, and finally a bamboo stick fell out.

Zhenzhu picked it up and took a look at the fortune stick. She smiled and handed it to Mo Zhaohua, "Congratulations, Miss. This is an excellent fortune stick."

Mo Zhaohua's heart moved slightly. He took the bamboo stick, looked at the poem on it, and raised the corner of his mouth.

Peach blossoms bloom in the spring breeze, and a little red blooms on the new branches.

You come to ask me not to forget me, and the strings remind me of the broken sound.

Although she doesn't know how to interpret the fortune, judging from the literal meaning, this should be a very good fortune.

She had a good memory and memorized the words after reading them twice, then handed the bamboo stick to Zhenzhu to interpret it.

"Although you have setbacks, you still have joy. Maybe it's fate, or maybe it's time to give yourself another chance."

The monk who interpreted the fortune had kind eyes and a white beard, and his voice was extremely gentle, making people feel like they were in a spring breeze.

Fate has come...

Give yourself another chance...

Mo Zhaohua silently kept these two sentences in his heart.

Pearl donated some incense money again, "Miss, do you want to go see the old lady?"

Mo Zhaohua came back to his senses and smiled, "Wait for me here, I'm going to do something."

This time she deliberately avoided Zhenzhu because she had something to do and she wanted to hide it from Zhenzhu for the time being.
