Chapter 157: A Strange Step
Although Zhao Ziyue saw that she was reasonable, she was still extremely worried. That's her biological daughter, the daughter she raised with great difficulty, and she doesn't worry about it.
"I'm fine here, you better hurry to the main hall and guard the eldest lady." Zhao Ziyue was not at ease, looked at Leng Yue and insisted, "Regardless of whether what they just said is true or not, at least you are by her side, I feel at ease." ”
Leng Yue secretly sighed helplessly, at this time, I really wish that I could make two Leng Yue with the doppelganger technique, so that no one has to be embarrassed, one can go to guard the eldest lady, and the other can continue to stay here and stay by her husband's side.
"But madam," Leng Yue's face was still expressionless, but her eyes showed embarrassment, "Miss has ordered, let the slave maid stay here to accompany you." ”
Strictly speaking, Mu Xiaofeng is her real master, so Leng Yue will carry Mu Xiaofeng out, just hoping that Zhao Ziyue will understand that she doesn't want to listen to Zhao Ziyue, the lady, but she can't help but listen to the words of the eldest lady, the real master, Mu Xiaofeng.
Disobedient minions, no matter which master will like them.
When Zhao Ziyue heard this, she did hesitate for a while. But Leng Yue obviously underestimated Zhao Ziyue's determination, and she didn't understand that a woman could sacrifice everything for her children after being a mother, including the mood of sacrificing her life.
She did not put on the posture of a master and said a commanding tone to Leng Yue, but looked at her pleadingly, looking at her with a loving mother's eyes that were worried about her daughter's safety.
After looking at Leng Yue for a long time, she said apologetically, "Leng Yue, I know this is embarrassing for you." ”
She paused, lowered her eyebrows, and said softly, "But you see, there are monks here who are protecting the pilgrims now, and the Liukou have already harassed this place last night, even if there are still Liukou hiding in the temple, they will definitely not dare to come here again." ”
"But the outside of the hall is different, I'm really worried that Xiaoxiao will ...... her" Speaking of this, Zhao Ziyue couldn't sit still, if she didn't know that she was tired, she would definitely go out to find someone in person, "When I beg you, you can go out and see the eldest lady, okay?" ”
"If she's okay, come back with her."
Zhao Ziyue talked about this, so she almost knelt down and begged Leng Yue, even if Leng Yue still had no undulating expression on her face, her heart was soft and moved after all.
Leng Yue took a deep breath, silently suppressed the helplessness in her heart, and said respectfully to Zhao Ziyue, "Madam, the slave maid will go to Miss, you eat here slowly first, and the slave maid will come back as soon as possible." ”
Zhao Ziyue immediately smiled, and urged repeatedly, "Okay, I'll have a good meal here, you go and come back quickly." ”
Watching Leng Yue leave the wing room and turn to the end of the corridor, Zhao Ziyue was worried about Mu Xiaofeng, and she no longer had the appetite to eat.
Yan Gui saw that her face was full of sadness, so he said, "Madam, the slave maid thinks that Leng Yue is right, those people outside just now just took last night's incident for granted, don't worry too much." ”
"Why don't you eat more?" Yan Gui watched her put down the dishes and chopsticks, and couldn't help but feel distressed, "If the eldest lady comes back later and sees that you haven't eaten much, I will definitely worry about you." ”
Yan Gui wanted to use all his resources to coax her in order for her to eat with peace of mind.
"Madam, you don't want the eldest lady to worry about being sad, do you?"
Coaxing the child's tone, cautiously with a little inducement, Zhao Ziyue looked up at her, had to smile helplessly, and continued to take the dishes and chopsticks.
But Zhao Ziyue stuffed something into her mouth, which really tasted like chewing wax, which was extremely uncomfortable.
"Yan Gui, why don't you go to the kitchen and see if there are any pickled side dishes?" Zhao Ziyue looked at her expectantly, glanced at the food on the table again, and said helplessly, "I really can't eat these things......
If it was in normal times, Yan Gui would definitely turn around without saying a word and go to the wing room to get her side dishes, but now it is not as usual.
Yan Gui subconsciously looked outside cautiously, and hesitated, "But madam, is it okay for you to be here alone?" ”
Zhao Ziyue looked at her with a smile, "Just now you still thought that I was a soldier, why are you like this now?" ”
Yan Gui couldn't help but say nervously, "Where is this, slave maid, don't you worry about you alone, madam." ”
Zhao Ziyue waved her hand, and simply pointed to the door and said, "Hurry up, I'm fine, it's not far from the kitchen; Besides, isn't there a master from Chongyuan Temple outside? ”
Yan Gui was still not at ease, but she couldn't bear to keep her repeated promises and urges, so she turned around step by step and walked out of the wing room to the kitchen.
Zhao Ziyue didn't expect that as soon as Yan Gui left on the front foot, there was a knock on the door of her room.
"Who?" She stood up inexplicably nervously, walked quickly to the back of the door, and did not open it immediately.
"Poor monk acquaintance," a man's voice came from outside the door, "I am entrusted by Miss Mu of your mansion to send a letter to you, Madame." ”
Zhao Ziyue chuckled in her heart, opened the door casually, but glanced at the monk outside the door vigilantly, "Send a letter?" What letter to send? ”
"Madam don't be nervous," the monk put his palms together in front of his chest, but he kept his head down, Zhao Ziyue couldn't see his appearance clearly, he only felt that this monk had an ordinary appearance, and there was nothing outstanding for people to remember where he lived, "Miss Mu just had an accident and suffered a little injury, she was afraid that Madame would worry, so she sent the poor monk to inform Madame." ”
If it was in normal times, Zhao Ziyue would definitely hear what he said, but her mind would have been on Mu Xiaofeng's safety. As soon as he heard that Mu Xiaofeng had an accident, where could he calmly analyze the loopholes in his words.
She was only stunned, and immediately anxiously asked, "Something happened?" Still injured? Where did she hurt? Is it serious? Where is she now? ”
A series of questions were thrown, and the monk only looked at her in surprise, and could not even find a space to speak.
"No, please tell me, where is the little girl now? I'm going to see her in person. ”
The monk hesitated slightly, but took a step back, showed embarrassment, and refused, "This...... Madame, please forgive the poor monk for not being able to tell you, Miss Mu only asked the poor monk to come and inform Madame. ”
When Zhao Ziyue heard his refusal, her heart immediately tightened, and she was even more worried.
"Master, since she's fine, what's the point if you tell me where she is?" Zhao Ziyue's face turned cold, and then she stared at him questioningly, "Is there really any rogue hiding in the dark in Chongyuan Temple, waiting for an opportunity to harm people?" ”
"Amitabha," the monk bowed his head and pronounced the Buddha's name, and his face instantly became solemn, "Since Madame is worried about Ling Qianjin, please go with the poor monk." ”
Zhao Ziyue was stunned, and a faint weird feeling suddenly appeared in her heart. However, she saw that the monk had already bowed his head and walked towards the corridor, so she hurriedly left a note for Yan Gui, and then chased the monk away.
Almost at the same moment when the monk knocked on Zhao Ziyue's wing, a monk also entered the hall where Mu Xiaofeng was, and after she finished bowing, the monk immediately stepped forward and said, "Miss Mu, the poor monk is entrusted by Mrs. Mu of the Lingtang to come and inform you, and after the Lingtang lets you worship the Chonghua Palace, you will go to the Wenxing Pavilion of the Zhaohua Palace." ”
"Does Master know why?" Mu Xiaofeng stood up and looked at the monk who was blindly bowing his head, but he didn't think much about it, but he was a little strange why his mother named her to go to the Wenxing Pavilion of Zhaohua Palace.
It stands to reason that since the mother knows that she is here, the mother should come here directly to meet her when she leaves the wing.
The monk thought for a moment before replying respectfully, "This is probably related to what Ling Tang wants in his heart." ”
The girl looked puzzled, blinking her bright eyes and looking at him for a moment.
That look, the expression that begged him to help her solve.
"Legend has it that the pilgrims who come to seek scientific research will definitely go to the Wenxing Pavilion of Zhaohua Hall to pay respects, and they will definitely rush to the end of the eighteenth day of each month, so that they are the most sincere."
Mu Xiaofeng said "oh", and then showed a look of sudden realization, so that the mother wanted to go and worship before the end of the time, so as to please an auspicious person.
As for whether it works or not, Mu Xiaofeng only laughed it in her heart, and she still didn't comment on this kind of thing in the Buddhist temple.
This makes sense why my mother knew she was here, but she didn't come here to join her and went to another place on her own.
"Thank you, Master." Mu Xiaofeng politely thanked the monk, then turned around and instructed Qingruo to take the incense and go to the Wenxing Pavilion of Zhaohua Hall together.
The monk brought the words and left on his own when Mu Xiaofeng turned around.
When Leng Yue asked a few people to finally catch up with the hall where Mu Xiaofeng had just stayed, she found that she was one step late.
It's just that at this time, Leng Yue strangely found that there was no monk around, and she didn't meet other pilgrims, and when no one could ask, she naturally couldn't ask where Mu Xiaofeng went.
She looked up and saw that the sky had begun to accumulate dark clouds at some point, and it was clear that a storm was coming.
She thought about it for a while, and finally decided to go back to the wing room to have a look, and Miss Xing saw that it was about to rain, so she had already gone back first.
Make up her mind, Leng Yue's steps can be as big as she can, and she can go as fast as she can, if she didn't care that performing martial arts here in broad daylight would scare others, she would definitely go back to the wing room directly.
She was anxious and faintly uneasy, really worried that she would not end up in either end up running back and forth.
The young lady handed over the lady to her, in case something happened to the lady...... She's probably going to die by then.
As for Madame telling her about finding Miss? Leng Yue subconsciously ignored that anyone's words were not as important as Mu Xiaofeng's words in her heart.
Leng Yue hurried back to the wing, while Mu Xiaofeng hurried to the Wenxing Pavilion of the Zhaohua Palace to meet his mother.
It's just that Mu Xiaofeng didn't expect that the Wenxing Pavilion of Zhaohua Palace, which is said to be very effective, would be so far away, she asked several people, walked a long way, and didn't reach that Zhaohua Palace.
Not to mention walking, she didn't even know where the shadow of the hall was, let alone where the door of the hall opened.
But the master and servant asked and walked all the way, and walked and walked, only to slowly find that the surroundings were gradually becoming remote
