After rebirth, I became the widow of my mortal enemy

After leaving the Dali Temple, the master and his servant mounted their horses.

Lan Ying looked around and behind him, and couldn't help but ask Yan Mobai: "Sir, are there only three of us?"

There are quite a few robbers in that gang, and each of them is highly skilled in martial arts and extremely vicious. We should send more people.

Yan Mobai's eyes flickered slightly.

"The other party didn't say that the group must be in the north of the city, they just said that they had been active in the north of the city. We are just going there to investigate. There is no need for so many people. Too many people will only alert the enemy."

It turned out to be the case.

Lan Ying nodded: "I understand."

The master and his two servants rode their horses towards the north of the city, and along the way they saw many people heading in that direction.

"I almost forgot that today is the Shangsi Festival. These people must be going to the Taihao Mausoleum ancient temple in the north of the city to worship their ancestors." Lan Ying said.

The further we went, the more people there were, and it became difficult for the horses to move forward.

Lan Ying was puzzled: "Although there were many people coming to the north of the city during the Shangsi Festival in previous years, it was never as many as this."

"Maybe there is some festival going on nearby." Chi Feng said.

Lan Ying nodded and stopped a passerby to ask.

"Big brother, are you all going to the Taihao Mausoleum Ancient Temple?"

"Yes, let's go see Xiangrui." The other party said excitedly.

"Xiangrui? What Xiangrui?"

"The twin lotus flowers in the temple are blooming today!"

Lan Ying and Chi Feng both found it strange, and even Yan Mobai showed an expression of disbelief.

"On March 3rd, lotus flowers bloom? Is that true?" Lan Ying expressed his doubt.

Chi Feng also didn't believe it: "It must be a rumor."

"Just go and take a look and you'll know." Yan Mobai squeezed his legs against the horse's belly and rode ahead.

-

The ancient Taihao Mausoleum Temple in the north of the city was first built in the previous dynasty. It was renovated once during the reign of the previous emperor and expanded again after Emperor Zhaoqing ascended the throne.

Today, the Taihao Mausoleum Ancient Temple is very large.

There were people inside and outside the temple, and the master and his servants were walking among the crowd.

Seeing that people on both sides were rubbing shoulders with him, Yan Mobai frowned.

He stopped and said to Chifeng and Lanying, "If you want to go to the lotus pond, you can go there by yourself. I will go there to take a look."

He pointed to the main hall of the temple not far away.

Lan Ying and Chi Feng looked at each other and replied, "Okay, we'll go there to find the adults later."

They were really curious whether there really were lotus flowers blooming together and wanted to see it with their own eyes.

But they knew that their master hated people getting close to him, especially touching him. It would be too difficult for him to be crowded like this.

The master and servant parted ways, Chifeng Lanying continued to push forward, while Yan Mobai turned and walked towards the temple.

There were also quite a few people in the main hall of the temple, some burning incense and worshipping Buddha, some drawing lots, some asking for amulets, and some waiting in line.

Yan Mobai glanced indifferently at everyone in the hall, but did not see the woman who had said during breakfast that she was coming to the Taihao Mausoleum Ancient Temple to pray for Yan Lang.

Yes, she has no true feelings for Yan Changjing, so why would she come here to pray for blessings?

He lowered his eyes, curled his lips, then turned and left the hall.

Seeing a three-story tower nearby with few people on it, he climbed the stairs to the tower.

Standing on the top floor of the tower, you can see the lotus pond not far away.

However, the lotus pond was surrounded by a huge crowd of people, and only a little bit of it could be seen vaguely.

It seems like there are really blooming lotus flowers.

Yan Mobai narrowed his eyes slightly, and his first reaction was, could it be that some prince was trying to be mysterious again?

Artificially create this kind of auspicious sign to give a hint to the emperor and the people?

For example, it implies that the prince who is related to the lotus is the chosen one and can bring blessings to Dazhao.

He thought about it and realized that no prince was related to the lotus.

No prince was born in summer, no prince was heard to love lotus, and no prince's mother was related to lotus.

I guess he was just overthinking it. It should be that the summer flowers really bloom in spring and they just bloomed earlier.

After all, so many people came to watch, whether it was really blooming or fake, whether it was a real flower or fake, no one could be fooled.

Moreover, it has only been a few days since the Taoist priest hired by Prince Kang to deceive the emperor. The Taoist priest never betrayed Prince Kang until his death. The emperor is suspicious of the princes, and it is impossible that any prince would commit a crime at this time.

After this analysis, he felt relieved.

Seeing that there was nothing interesting to see, he withdrew his gaze and was about to turn around and leave the tower when he suddenly felt a familiar figure.

He paused and looked back.

Amidst the crowd of people, a light purple figure came into view.

It was the woman who said that morning that she wanted to come here to pray for her husband.

He also found it strange. There were so many people around, they were so far away from each other, and she was wearing a veil below her mouth and nose so he couldn't see her face at all. Yet, he saw her at first sight and was sure it was her.

I didn't expect that she really came and joined the crowd in squeezing towards the lotus pond. It was so crowded that only her little head could be seen.

Yan Mobai frowned slightly.

I actually love to join in this kind of fun.

Suddenly, he saw her looking back.

Because I couldn't see her face clearly, nor her gaze, I could only vaguely feel that she seemed to be smiling.

Yan Mobai's eyes trembled slightly.

Did she see him?

No way?

She could see him from such a distance? She even smiled at him?

His heart was wavering, and he stared in her direction.

Then she seemed to be talking, and her veil fluttered with her breathing.

say?

Then she saw a person behind her stretching out his arm to block the people who were squeezing towards her.

Yan Mobai narrowed his eyes and looked at the man.

From the back, one could only tell that it was a man in white.

White clothes?

The words of Lan Ying that day rang in my ears: Madam Ning seemed to be quite satisfied with the man in white. She cast admiring glances at him many times and praised him several times.

So, this person was one of the three people who came to the Marquis' Mansion that day to choose a husband for Jin's niece?

So, when she turned around just now, was she looking at this person, was she smiling at this person?

Yan Mobai looked coldly, stood with his hands behind his back, and looked at the two of them from the tower.

The wind blew across the top of the tower, lifting his hair and the corners of his robe, making them flutter in the wind.

Lan Ying's words from that day rang in my ears again: It can be seen that the three of them are trying their best to perform for Madam Ning. If you don't know, you would think that Madam Ning is choosing a son-in-law.

-

On this side, Ning Miao and Yan Kunpeng finally squeezed to the edge of the lotus pond.

Looking at the pink lotus flowers in the pond competing for beauty, Yan Kunpeng couldn't believe it and was extremely excited. He kept muttering, "It's actually true, it's actually true..."

"I didn't lie to you." Ning Miao was shaken by the people behind him.

Yan Kunpeng turned his head to look at her, the reverence and worship in his eyes was so strong that it was indescribable.

"Madam, you are really an amazing woman."

Ning Miao quickly made a "hush" gesture to him, fearing that he would tell her what she had predicted in her dream.

Yan Kunpeng was amused by her playful look.

"Don't worry, I know the ins and outs of this matter. You said that day that if you only tell me about this matter, I will not let you down. I promise that this matter will only be known by you, me, heaven and earth, and no third person in the world will know about it."
