I've been reborn, who would still raise a son from another family? Go away

"It's the Wanfu Temple's Jingsheng Tongzi. This year, a group of children were sent to the Wanfu Temple to purify their bodies. I heard that those children who have been purified can become dragons among men in the future. As early as the beginning of the year, many children were sent to the Wanfu Temple. Those children have to stay in the Wanfu Temple for two years before they can come back. During this period, they have to send a large amount of silver to the Wanfu Temple."

"The silver in that treasury must be the blood and sweat of the people extorted from them over the years."

Liu Zimo clenched his hands tightly and wanted to go to Wanfuji Temple right now.

Xie Jingrui raised his hand and pulled them back: "Be patient, don't alert the enemy yet."

"Manpuku-ji Temple is the largest temple in Kyoto. It can be said to be the spiritual support for the entire Kyoto. If we openly go in and make trouble, I'm afraid it will not end well and will make things worse. I will send people to Manpuku-ji Temple to search thoroughly later. Since they have taken in so many children, it is impossible to find any trace of the children unless those children are in trouble."

Liu Yueru's heart was also gripped with grief. Those children were only the same age as Xie Wenhua and Yan Ge'er, yet they had to suffer such torture at such a young age!

Xie Jingrui pondered for a while, and quickly thought of a policy to deal with it in his mind: "Recently, keep an eye on those pregnant women in Kyoto, and keep an eye on them so that those beasts in the northern border can't do anything."

Liu Zimo nodded heavily, and then thought of the man who could make explosives that Liu Yueru mentioned a few days ago: "Did the prince find that man?"

Xie Jingrui frowned, "No, the secret guards have already searched the surrounding areas, but they didn't meet the man Yue'er described. Could it be that Yue'er remembered it wrongly?"

Liu Yueru's beautiful eyebrows also frowned, she was very puzzled. In the previous life, the man clearly appeared very quickly and was killed before she could even wait until now.

She didn't understand what went wrong and shook her head: "He was like that in my dream. I'll have to keep an eye on him for a while. Maybe he hasn't appeared yet, or maybe someone got there first?"

The expressions of several people turned solemn.

Liu Zimo's gaze fell on Liu Yueru.

Then he turned to Xie Jingrui and asked, "Have you thought about how to tell the emperor about your relationship with Yue'er?"

Xie Jingrui looked at Liu Yueru with bright eyes and said, "As long as Yue'er is willing to marry, I will find a way to get my father's consent."

"Yeah." Liu Zimo breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, Xie Jingrui took out the hairpin from his arms and placed it in front of Liu Yueru.

He wanted to explain, but Liu Yueru's eyes suddenly turned bloodshot as she stared at the hairpin, and her hands began to tremble uncontrollably.

"What's wrong with Yue'er?" Xie Jingrui asked in confusion.

Liu Yueru ignored Xie Jingrui and picked up the hairpin from the table with red eyes.

She asked in a hoarse voice: "Where did you find this hairpin?"

When Liu Yueru saw the hairpin on Xie Jingrui that day, she felt it looked familiar, but she didn't have time to think about it at that time.

Seeing this, Liu Zimo thought that Xie Jingrui was bullying Liu Yueru, so he immediately stood up and protected Liu Yueru in front of him, and questioned Xie Jingrui: "If the prince has a crush on someone else, he shouldn't have come to provoke Yue'er."

Xie Jingrui looked at the two of them innocently.

Liu Yueru continued to ask with red eyes: "Where did you find this hairpin?"

"Yue'er, it's okay, second brother will take you home." Liu Zimo glared at Xie Jingrui with displeasure, then put his arm around Liu Yueru's shoulders and gently protected her by his side.

When Xie Jingrui saw Liu Zimo's hands on Liu Yueru's shoulders, he subconsciously tightened his hands and raised his hand to hold Liu Yueru's.

No matter how stupid Xie Jingrui was, thinking back to the day when the two of them had a quarrel over the hairpin, and looking at their expressions, he knew that Liu Yueru had misunderstood him.

He hurriedly explained, "This was found by my subordinates in a cave in Qizi'ao. A cave in Qizi'ao is connected to the fields in the west city. When they found the place, everyone inside had already left. They found this hairpin in the cave. When I entered the palace that day, I was in a hurry and I just casually put the hairpin into the palace."

"I came here today just to explain to you that this hairpin is not something I want to give away as a gift."

After listening to Xie Jingrui's explanation, Liu Zimo finally felt relieved.

The anger in Liu Yueru's eyes increased even more. She picked up the hairpin in her hand, looked at the flower pond where Fang Kewei was buried, and said, "This hairpin belongs to Fang Kewei. I gave it to her when I was in the Marquis' Mansion."

"What!" Liu Zimo exclaimed in disbelief.

Xie Jingrui frowned, "Miss Fang is just an ordinary person. How will killing her help those people from the Northern Frontier?"

"Or is there something wrong with Miss Fang's identity?"

Liu Yueru shook her head and explained, "There is no problem with her indenture and family background. Besides, she would never do anything to let us down. We have been together for such a long time, and she has always behaved herself. Nothing inappropriate has ever happened to her, and there is nothing abnormal about her."

"The people of Northern Frontier are very smart. They would not brutally kill Miss Fang for no reason, and then go to great lengths to carry her body over the wall to Yuexinju and bury it in that flower garden. This must be beneficial to their plan."

Several people sat opposite each other, but they had no idea why you wanted to kill Fang Kewei, the man from Northern Frontier.

at the same time.

Suddenly there was news from the palace.

It is said that the foreign envoys from the northern border will arrive in Kyoto in the next two days.

Xie Jingrui's face was gloomy.

He fixed his eyes on Liu Yueru's raised wall. To be able to climb over the wall with a dead body on its back, it must have taken great martial arts skills. When he met the man in black at Wanfu Temple that day, his martial arts skills were comparable to his own.

Emperor Hexu held a banquet in the palace to welcome the arrival of foreign envoys. All officials above the third rank had to attend the banquet. At the same time, he also sent a special invitation to Liu Yueru to attend the banquet that day.

Liu Zimo's eyes were filled with worry: "If we can't find the person who can make gunpowder in two days, I'm afraid the emperor will still want to temporarily exchange Yue'er to stabilize the current situation."

"On that day, find a way to make Yue'er pretend to be seriously ill and not allow her to enter the palace." Xie Jingrui said with narrowed eyes.

Liu Yueru stared at the flower garden in a daze.

After a long time, the anger in Liu Yueru's eyes did not diminish. She said in a cold voice: "I attended the banquet to entertain the foreign envoys from Northern Frontier. They could have buried such cruel harm here, which means they must have known everything about us. Even if I pretended to be sick and didn't go that day, they could have used our weakness in Kyoto to threaten us, and they could have used our weakness to force me to take the initiative to meet them."

Liu Zimo and Xie Jingrui were naturally aware of their viciousness, but they just wanted to delay for some time.
