The naughty and cowardly little crybaby sold himself out

After a month of commotion at the beginning, Xunyi Clinic successfully made a name for itself in the capital.

In a blink of an eye, it is the Qingming Festival, and the imperial tomb is holding a grand sacrifice.

The Lingyin Kingdom's Xishan Imperial Mausoleum is not far away. It is located to the west of the capital and the journey takes less than a day. In the past, the emperor would go there on the first day, and he would personally fetch soil for preparation. On the second day, he would offer sacrifices to his ancestors, and on the third day, he would return to the city. This time was also arranged.

All the princes, grandchildren and ministers had to go. There were more people than the last autumn hunt, and the atmosphere was particularly solemn.

Jing Muyang and the prince are in charge of this trip, which is the first task that the emperor has assigned them to collaborate on.

The two of them handled the matter very well. The emperor covered the top of the tomb with soil, and then held a grand ceremony, and everything went smoothly.

However, a spring snow suddenly fell in the evening of Qingming Festival. Snowfall on Qingming Festival was not a good sign, so the emperor decided to go to Xiangguo Temple to burn incense and pray for good weather, peace and prosperity for the country and the people.

Xixia Mountain, not far from the imperial mausoleum, is named Xixia because of the exposed broken rocks on the west side of the mountain and a large river under the rocks. Whenever the sun sets, the waves reflect from the river surface and hit the rocks, creating sparkling clouds. Xiangguo Temple is located on the Xixia Mountain.

As a royal temple, Xiangguo Temple is very large and attracts many pilgrims on weekdays.

As it was a temporary decision, the prince and Jing Muyang sent people to make arrangements overnight. The prince's people were responsible for food and accommodation, while Jing Muyang's people were responsible for a safety check of the temple. After all, some pilgrims would stay in the temple for a short time, and they could neither drive them away nor let them disturb the emperor.

"Princess, I'm a little busy tonight, be good and go to bed early."

Jing Muyang held her face and kissed her. The prince could just send someone, but safety was paramount. Jing Muyang needed to go and inspect in person and could not accompany her.

"Don't be afraid, Qinglin and Qingye are outside, as are Xifengxiyu and Jinxiang."

"Take Qinglin and Qingye with you. There are a lot of things to do over there and not much time. I'll feel more at ease if they follow you." Chu Jian was very worried.

"No, I'll feel more at ease if they leave it to you."

"It's okay. I promise not to get into trouble. I'll just stay with my father and mother. They have so many expert guards around them, nothing will happen to them. You must take them with you, don't let me worry. Although the snow outside is not strong, it's dark and the roads are slippery, so please be careful."

When Chu Jian saw Jing Muyang, she put a cloak on him and then threw herself into his arms and hugged him. Since the beginning of the year, their feelings seemed to have deepened a lot, and they were very affectionate to each other every day.

"Okay, I'll take you with me. Tomorrow the Crown Prince and Fourth Brother will lead the team to take you there, and I'll be waiting for you there then."

"Yeah." Chu Jian agreed and kissed him several times before letting him go out.

Jing Muyang smiled and touched his lips. This girl would now actively offer kisses. If it weren't for the urgency of the matter, he really wanted to eat one more bite of her.

Without Jing Muyang's company, Chu Jian couldn't fall asleep at all. Finally, he pulled Jin Xiang to join him and barely managed to fall asleep in the second half of the night.

They set out for Xixia Mountain at dawn the next day. As it was not far away, they arrived in more than an hour. They did not see Jing Muyang, so the prince's men followed the abbot of Xiangguo Temple, Master Yuandeng, to pick them up and let them check in first.

That brainless charlatan said that they could only burn incense at the third hour, and after that they would need to stay in the Xiangguo Temple for one night before returning to Beijing tomorrow.

Master Yuandeng led the emperor and everyone else to visit the temple. For some reason, this ancient temple that was hundreds of years old made people feel intimidated when they first saw it.

Chu Jian found the Buddhist scriptures she had copied on the wall of the main hall. She framed them and posted them there for pilgrims to worship, which made her very proud.

"Mother, Mother, this is the Buddhist scripture I copied!"

Chu Jian has always been by Concubine Yun's side. Since knowing that Chu Jian is in good health, Concubine Yun's attitude towards her has changed greatly and their relationship has eased a lot.

"I see it, I see it!" Concubine Yun clapped her hands and said with a smile.

When Master Yuandeng first entered the palace and took away the incense burner as punishment, she said that the words were written with great sincerity and would be framed in the hall for people to admire after returning to the temple. What she didn't expect was that there would be incense offerings. For the first time, she felt proud of seeing it for the first time.

The emperor also laughed when he heard this. In fact, when they first met, she was quite quirky and quite likable when she wasn't making any noise. However, after the New Year, he still sent people to Yuzhou to check on her situation.

I didn't see Jing Muyang until I returned to my room after the tour. I asked the guard, and the guard said that he had taken people to patrol the back mountain and should be back soon.

Chu Jian, who was bored of waiting, wandered around the backyard of the temple. There was also a plum forest in the backyard. I heard that some of the plum trees in it were planted when the temple was built. They are hundreds of years old. The plum trees in the imperial palace were all cut and grafted from here.

However, when I went there, I met Chu Xia there too. I sat on the stone bench in the Merlin Pavilion, in a daze.

When the maidservant of the East Palace saw Chu Jian coming over, she immediately bowed and said, "Greetings to Princess Zhan!"

Chu Xia came to her senses at this time and stood up and bowed, "Sister."

"You just came out of confinement. Why don't you stay in your room? Why are you sitting on a cold stone bench here in the wind? It's easy to get sick in this cold spring." Although he saw her hatred at the New Year banquet, Chu Jian always felt like he owed her something, so he quickly ordered the maid, "Take the prince's concubine back to her room. The weather is cold, don't let her wander around!"

Chu Xia did not refute and let the maid help her leave. However, before she had gone far, guards came hurriedly towards her.

"Princess Zhan, a guard has returned with a report that Prince Zhan was hit by a falling rock in the back hills and is seriously injured. Dean He has already gone there, and the Emperor wants you to hurry over as well!"

"Mu Yang is injured? Where is he? Take me there quickly!" Chu Jian lifted her skirt and hurriedly followed him.

Chu Xia heard it not far away and staggered. She turned around and saw Chu Jian leaving with the guards. She wanted to go and see so much, but she couldn't and could only let the maid take her back to the room.

Besides, Chu Jian, Xifengxiyu and Jinxiang followed the guard hurriedly to the back mountain. The back mountain was very big, and she was in a hurry. After walking a short distance, she was suddenly stopped by Xifeng.

"Princess, something is wrong. There is no sign of a team passing by here."

"Princess, please be cautious. Let's go back and ask the Fourth Prince." Xiyu also said.

Chu Jian looked back at the two of them, then looked forward at the guards who were walking hurriedly, and was undecided for a moment, "What if Mu Yang is really injured?"

"Princess, what if it's a trap? Besides, we haven't seen this guard before. The prince has ordered us not to leave the temple easily, not to mention that Abbot He has already gone there. Princess, let's go back first." Xifeng persuaded.

"Princess, Xifengxiyu is right. The prince has told you to ensure your own safety first." Jin Xiang also reacted.

"Okay!" Chu Jian also listened to the advice. Fortunately, they were not far from the temple and could still see the back wall of the temple.

The guards in front didn't hear them catch up, so they turned around and said, "Princess Zhan, the king is seriously injured and can't be delayed. Dean He said you have a special hemostatic medicine, and we are waiting for your medicine!"

"I...I remembered that I don't have this medicine with me. I'll go back and get it right away. You wait here for me."

Chu Jian pulled Jin Xiang back and left. They were right. Even if Jing Muyang was really injured, they would definitely send Qingshan and others to get medicine and report the news. Why would they send a stranger? It must be a trap.

However, where can a turtle that has entered a jar escape to?

Two masked men in black appeared behind them, and the one leading them was obviously the one who attacked them at the Grand Tutor's Mansion that day!
