Everyone followed the emperor into the main hall, the host handed three incense sticks to Wei Yuanqi, Wei Yuanqi took the incense sticks on his forehead, and bowed down to worship.Finally put the incense in the censer, then turned to look at Wei Anrong, "An Rong, you and Master Meng also come over to burn incense!"

Wei Anrong and Meng Qiucheng stepped forward as promised, and both burned a stick of incense.

Liu Xi came in from outside the hall and whispered something in Wei Yuanqi's ear. Wei Yuanqi nodded and said to the host of Huatian Temple, "Master Wu Nian, I have been restless recently and want to hear what Master said. Buddha."

Master Wu Nian smiled and said, "It's a blessing for the emperor to care about the country and the people. But the emperor's dragon body also needs to be taken care of. Although the Buddhist scriptures can't cure the disease in the emperor's heart, it can make the emperor calm down. Naturally, the poor monk is willing to relieve the emperor's worries. The meditation room in the backyard has been cleaned, and the poor monk will go to prepare it."

"Then I'll be there soon, Master Wu Nian." After finishing speaking, Wei Yuanqi turned his head to look at Wei Anrong and Meng Qiucheng, "I'm going to listen to Master Wu Nian's lecture on Buddhism. You can take a nap in the temple until noon. Let's have some fast food together before going back to the palace."

Meng Qiucheng hastily said respectfully, "Yes, my humble servant is in command!"

Wei Anrong also said, "Brother Huang, you can rest assured to listen to Master Wu Nian's lecture on Buddhism. I just want to take a good look at the newly repaired golden Buddha in Huatian Temple. With Master Meng accompanying me, it won't be too boring. "

Wei Yuanqi smiled from the bottom of his eyes, "Women are not allowed to stay, it seems that even us royal nobles can't avoid it!" He glanced over Meng Qiucheng, then smiled again, "It's fine to watch, but the holy place of Buddha Don't break the rules by laughing and playing, and lose the face of the royal family."

Wei Yuanqi said this seriously, but the meaning behind the words really made Wei Anrong a little embarrassed.She stamped her feet angrily, and pulled Wei Yuanqi's sleeve, "Brother Huang, why are you joking about him?"

Wei Yuanqi shook his head with a smile, and was led to the meditation room by the monks in the temple.

Xiao Mubai led his guards around the meditation room, leaving only a few guards guarding Wei Anrong's side.Above the main hall, suddenly felt quite empty.

Wei Anrong waved his hand, pushed back the rest of the guards and said, "Master Meng, do you know why the Palace asked you to come to Huatian Temple today?"

Meng Qiucheng shook his head.

"The Misty Rain Building has been standing in the capital for these years, do you know why?"

Meng Qiucheng thought for a while and replied, "Because there are people in the palace who support it."

"Sure enough, Lord Meng already knew about it. The last time you were assassinated in the Yanyu Tower, it was the master behind the Yanyu Tower. Now, I let you come with me, one is to let that person know about you. There is no single purpose, to completely dispel doubts, and the second is to let Mr. Meng meet someone.

The emperor went to hear that the Buddha was false, and the news was true.This palace, of course, is the same. "

As Wei Anrong spoke, he walked towards the wing room in the inner hall.

This wing room is a place of accommodation for practitioners. At the end of the corridor, a row of two-story wing rooms appeared in front of us.Wei Anrong kept walking, and went directly to the corner room on the second floor.It is far away from the front hall, and the meditation room can be vaguely seen from the window, and the decoration in the room is also very elegant.

But Meng Qiucheng hadn't had time to appreciate these things in the future, and when he entered the door, he was completely unexpected.

"Meet the princess, Lord Meng!" Zhenniang whispered with a smile on her lips.

Meng Qiucheng looked at Wei Anrong, puzzled and said, "Ms. Zhen, is it yours?"

Before that, she had always thought that Zhenniang, like Ran Xue, belonged to the emperor, but she never expected, she really did not.Suddenly, I felt a little terrified, this Princess Jingrong actually arranged her people to be beside the emperor.It's not easy.

"Your Majesty Meng, don't be so surprised. Just as you think, Zhenniang is from the emperor. It's just on the surface, but Zhenniang is actually from the palace's secret guard."

Meng Qiucheng was surprised again, "People from the dark guard camp? But Zhenniang doesn't know martial arts. The dark guard camp was left by the late emperor. They are the secret guards of the royal family. Everyone is a master. The first time I met Zhenniang I tried her when she was young, and she didn't have any kung fu foundation."

Zhen Niang took a step forward, saluted and smiled, "Master Meng, who said that the secret guards must be good at kung fu? I am a chess move arranged by the princess next to the emperor. If I have a unique skill, it will be easier to attract people's suspicion. "

Meng Qiucheng was taken aback, but now she understood completely.After a long time, Zhenniang is Princess Jingrong's eyes outside the palace, so it's no wonder that the princess knows her whereabouts.

She has never dared to underestimate the princess, but in the end she still overlooked some things.

Wei Anrong saw Meng Qiucheng bowed his head and said with a smile, "Master Meng, I have completely trusted you when I let you see Niang Zhen today. Corrupt officials have been corrupt to the core since ancient times, but you are really different. Gong can't judge whether you are good or bad, but I believe that you are a trustworthy person.

Niang Zhen, Mr. Meng is not an outsider, so you should talk to Mr. Meng carefully about that matter! "

Zhen Niang nodded, "Lord Meng, that day when King Yong rebelled, the doors of every house in the city were closed. The struggle for power did not harm the people. It happened that some bandits broke into the Yanyu Building.

The man called himself Eight Lord, and he was the head of Niuwei Mountain, Niu Manzi.This person has committed many murders and never enters the city easily.It is even more suspicious to enter the city with such a big fanfare.

After Niu Manzi died, I found someone to infiltrate Niuwei Mountain to investigate.The reason why this bull man came to Yanyu Tower was originally instigated by someone. "

Meng Qiucheng had expected it a long time ago, but he couldn't figure out who it was at the moment.Then he hurriedly asked, "Then, can Niang Zhen find out who did it?"

"It's Fang Jinzhong, the chief envoy, Mr. Fang."

"Fang Jinzhong?" Meng Qiucheng pondered carefully in her mind, she was not familiar with this person, and she didn't know what party he belonged to in the court.This person was really beyond her expectations.

Knowing his doubts, Wei Anrong explained, "Fang Jinzhong has always been a timid person, and will only shirk when things happen. This time, he colluded with the bandits in Niuwei Mountain, and there must be someone behind him. This person is likely to be related to the Queen Mother who was introduced that night. The envoy to Jincui Palace is the same person."

"What the princess said is very true. The most important thing right now is how to get Tu Hai to accuse the Queen Mother of crimes. By the way, does Tu Hai have any relatives outside the palace?"

Wei Anrong shook his head, "I don't know about this."

"Princess, I need your help to find out the details of Tuhai outside the palace this time."

Wei Anrong understood what she meant, nodded and said, "I will ask someone to investigate."

Zhenniang looked at Meng Qiucheng with a smile, "Princess, Master Meng, I can't stay too long, lest I be suspected. I'm going to wait for someone at the back door first."

Meng Qiucheng suddenly remembered that the 10 taels given to her by the princess before was in the hands of Zhenniang, so it didn't mean it was back in the hands of the princess again!After all the calculations, it turned out that all the money that went into it was my own money, and I felt that I was losing money when I thought about it.

Immediately, he stretched out his hand to stop her, "Wait! Niang Zhen, since we are all old acquaintances. Next time, can you stop being so greedy, my money is hard-earned."

Wei Anrong said to Zhenniang, "You go down first!" Then he looked at Meng Qiucheng, "Master Meng, your money is all obtained from corruption, why is it so difficult? As for places like Yanyu Building, is it possible that Master Meng still often Can't you go?"

Suddenly, Meng Qiucheng felt a chill in his heart, and smiled embarrassingly, "This corrupt official must not look like a corrupt official! If a subordinate official doesn't pretend to be like one, how can he confuse others!"

Wei Anrong watched with a sneer, but didn't answer.

Near noon, the door of the meditation room was opened, and the woman withdrew from the room to the back door of Huatian Temple.

Zhen Niang went up to meet her and asked, "Did the master explain anything?"

Ran Xue had an ugly expression on her face, she looked at Zhen Niang, "Master orders, I have a new task. After Yanyu Tower, you will take care of it alone."

"What mission?"

Ran Xue sighed heavily, "You will know in two days. Mother Zhen, you go back first, I want to walk alone."

Seeing Ran Xue's depressed mood, this task might not only be difficult, but she is also unwilling to do it.

But what choice does a slave have?She also sighed, took Ran Xue's hand and patted it lightly, "Don't think too much, our fate is like this, we just obey. Since there are new tasks, we should go back earlier. We have been together all these years Acting, suddenly separated, I also feel uncomfortable in my heart."

Ran Xue glanced at Zhenniang gratefully, then nodded.

The two parted in the forest, Zhen Niang went to the city, but Ran Xue went to a more remote suburb.

The forest is dense, the sunlight cannot penetrate, and the heat is kept outside.Walking on this small road, people feel a sense of coolness in their hearts.

"After a while, I will be leaving. As a slave, you have to do what your master tells you to do. I thought that as long as I do well enough and the master is happy, I will be free. In the end , the better I do, the more I lose my freedom. Oh, maybe I've never been free."

Ran Xue whispered, then turned around suddenly, and said to the overgrown weeds, "I've followed you all the way, are you really planning to hide your face like this?"

Suddenly, a black figure slowly stood up among the weeds, his eyes were as clear as water, and his face was expressionless.

"Who are you?"

After waiting for a long time, Ran Xue couldn't help but frowned, "Aren't you willing to say a word to me? Are you dumb?"

The figure froze abruptly, his eyes suddenly filled with loneliness, and then he nodded slightly.

Ran Xue was a little surprised, she didn't expect that she was really a little mute?

But if it was born, it must be deaf and dumb, unable to understand her words.Looking at the woman in front of her, her hearing is excellent. This dumbness is probably caused by the day after tomorrow.

She stared at her with wide eyes, "Could it be that your master deliberately made you dumb because he was worried that you would leak the secret when you were on a mission? Why are you so cruel and merciless? I'm even worse!"

There was a strange expression on the mute girl's face when she said it, and she thought in her heart, if Meng Qiucheng heard this, she would probably be so angry that she vomited blood.

The more Ran Xue thought about it, the more she felt that her guess was right. She looked at the dumb girl with sympathy, "Little dumb, I also have a new task, a task that I can't help myself."
