"Our Buddha is merciful, saving all living beings and protecting our Great Zhou. Therefore, the Anguo Mansion has specially set the sixth day of each month as a fasting day."

Mrs. Chen smiled widely, put her hands together, and chanted the Buddha's name devoutly.

"Today I have specially invited the Crown Prince's wife to come to my house to worship Buddha."

She looked at Jiang Li triumphantly, as if she had won the game back.

Jiang Li glanced at Nanny Gui who was not aware of the danger, then looked up at the servants who were still being drenched in the rain.

I just find it ironic.

Is it people like Mrs. Chen who are blessed by all the gods and Buddhas?

She didn't say anything, but Mrs. Chen saw Jiang Li's actions clearly.

Naturally, she understood Jiang Li's hidden meaning, and immediately the evil thoughts that had been suppressed by Jiang Li came up again.

The fear of Jiang Li also greatly reduced.

Although he can sympathize and pity maids and slaves, Jiang Li is still the cowardly person he was back then.

Her tough tactics just now were just bluffing.

Madam Chen winked at the head maid beside her, who was immediately startled.

She stepped forward tactfully and said, "Princess, please go and worship the Buddha. You need to copy a scroll of scriptures on the fasting day, which will be delivered to the palace gate tomorrow morning and presented to His Majesty."

This is not a lie, the Duke of Anguo's Mansion has always won the emperor's favor.

In addition to the Imperial Noble Consort Jiang Tan, who served the emperor every day, the Anguo Mansion also tried its best to please the emperor.

The reason for believing in Buddhism was that the emperor believed in Buddhism and even wanted to establish Buddhism as the state religion.

Seven years before the Great Zhou Dynasty, the northern barbarians moved southwards, and the northern border lost 20 cities in three months. They almost crossed the Beidalong River and entered the Central Plains. The emperor was so frightened that he almost moved the capital overnight.

Finally, a monk suggested that King Yong Chu Ninghan lead his army north to fight the enemy.

By that time, the northern frontier army had been almost completely slaughtered, and there were not many soldiers left in Kyoto.

In particular, the Great Zhou had been established for a hundred years, and with peace for a long time, the military preparedness was relaxed and the horses were allowed to rest in the mountains.

The officialdom was also extremely corrupt, and the upper echelons of the military camp were all sons of wealthy and powerful families who came here to gain seniority.

This was the bad hand that Chu Ninghan was dealt.

Everyone thought that Prince Yong would die in the northern border, and Prince Yong's Mansion would be destroyed.

As a result, Chu Ninghan not only survived, but he also recaptured half of the city within four months.

The monk who offered the advice was immediately deified by the emperor.

The fasting days in the Anguo Mansion also started from that time.

In fact, it was not just the Anguo Mansion. Other wealthy lords in Kyoto also began to believe in gods and Buddhas on a large scale at that time.

Jiang Li glanced at the shadow on the screen and his face turned cold.

It was Chu Ninghan who sacrificed his life, and the people all knew his contribution and regarded him as the God of War.

However, these nobles in Kyoto actually believed that it was the gods and Buddhas who saved them.

This is the result of Chu Ninghan's initiative to give in.

"Princess, please!"

Seeing that Jiang Li did not get up, the maid became anxious and could not help but urge him.

The Buddhist shrine in this room is very interesting.

Only when Jiang Li knelt before the Buddhist shrine would she and Mrs. Chen have a chance to subdue Jiang Li.

"March 3rd, madam, do you remember what day it was?"

"Of course I remember. It's the birthday of the Goddess of Flowers."

Mrs. Chen was a little impatient, but she didn't dare show it.

After saying this absentmindedly, he urged Jiang Li again.

"It's already noon, Princess, go burn incense and copy scriptures to pray for Buddha's protection."

"Ah."

Jiang Li sneered, "If you still remember the birthday of the Goddess of Flowers, you should know that I am the new Goddess of Flowers today."

Her voice was slow and leisurely, and both Madam Chen and the maid's faces darkened.

"According to the customs of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the flower god chosen each year is regarded as the human incarnation of the flower god. You cannot worship the emperor or any other gods and Buddhas except the flower god."

Jiang Li looked at the shadow of the shrine again, his voice full of mockery.

"You, the Buddha, cannot bear my worship."

"you!"

Mrs. Chen held on to the chair tightly, almost unable to hold back.

The maid quickly grabbed Madam Chen and spoke first.

"Madam, what the Crown Princess said is correct."

"presumptuous!"

Madam Chen slapped the maid in the face with her backhand, "How dare you butt in here!"

"Madam, please forgive me for my words! It's just that the Flower God cannot worship Buddha, otherwise it will anger the Buddha and the Flower Goddess!"

The maid quickly knelt down, bearing the slap mark, and explained hastily.

"It's all my fault. I didn't think this matter through."

Mrs. Chen didn't expect that her maid was so stupid, but now that things had come to this, she could no longer deceive Jiang Li.

But she really couldn't bear to let Jiang Li go just like that.

"It's really your fault. You can't even handle such a small matter!"

After scolding the maid, Mrs. Chen turned to Jiang Li and put on a kind expression again.

"Princess, it was this servant who gave the advice for today's Buddha worship. I forgot that you had become the Goddess of Flowers. You made a wasted trip today."

She sighed again, "However, you have indeed been married for seven years, and this is your first time back. You will stay at the mansion today."

Mrs. Chen's murderous intent became stronger and stronger. As long as Jiang Li stayed, she would have plenty of ways to kill him.

Even if the final means are not fair, as long as Jiang Li dies, it will be fine.

This is what should have been done seven years ago!

Not long ago, he sent people to hunt down Jiang Li, but Jiang Li came back unharmed.

Until now they still don't know how Jiang Li escaped, but since she asked Jiang Li to come today, she had no intention of letting Jiang Li leave alive.

"There's no need to stay."

Jiang Li estimated the time. The poison she had administered when she hit Mrs. Chen when she entered the room should be about to take effect.

She stood up and turned to look at Mrs. Chen.

He raised the corners of his lips and smiled, "Besides, my trip here is not in vain. Now, I can report to the police without any worries."

"What do you mean?"

Mrs. Chen had a bewildered look on her face. She was startled by Jiang Li's sudden standing up and leaned back reflexively.

"Madam, don't you know? I went to Huangze Temple a few days ago and learned that Yufeng had a group of bandits who specialized in robbing travelers."

Jiang Li stared into Mrs. Chen's eyes. "They are so abominable. No one has discovered them for so many years. Someone must be protecting them."

"I was almost robbed by bandits last time, but luckily, with the protection of the Goddess of Flowers, I returned safely and even got a token from them."

Jiang Li patted his chest, still looking frightened.

Then he took out another token and waved it in front of Mrs. Chen's increasingly frightened eyes so that she could see clearly.

"Madam Ling must know this person, because he belongs to the Anguo Mansion."

She smiled and said, "I suspected that the Anguo Mansion wanted to harm me before, but today Madam asked me to pray to Buddha for peace, which made me know that Madam cares about me and will definitely not be the one to harm me."

"Then someone must have deliberately framed the Anguo Mansion."

Jiang Li put away the token, his smile faded, and his tone became grim.

"I believe that if we report this to Jingzhao Yin, we will be able to find out who is impersonating the Duke of Anguo to support the bandits!"
