Chapter 5: Temptation

The next day the heavy snow stopped, and a ray of sunlight slanted through the clouds in the east.

Ji Yuluo had nightmares all night, blood covered her eyes, and she woke up late. The complexion is not good, and the eye circles are dark.

Xiao Zhao and the nurse were distressed, one gently wiped her eyelids with overnight tea, and the other was busy adding a quilt to her.

Granny Zhang chattered distressedly when she gave Ji Yuluo a quilt, "The princess is already weak, and she doesn't squeak when it's cold this night, and she hasn't slept well this night, and I don't know if I'm cold?" I'm going to leave for the palace today. Next, the road is far away, the mountain road is bumpy, if you are sick, what can you do on the road? It's all my fault, my mind is stupid, I didn't expect to add a quilt to the princess last night. ”

Xiao Zhao seemed to be used to listening to Granny Zhang's chatter, and he didn't answer. Only meekly dipped cotton in tea, and repeatedly tested Ji Yuluo's eyelids.

Ji Yuluo was upset when she heard this, but she was kind to Nurse Zhang, and said softly: "Nurse! I seem to be weak, but in fact, I am used to suffering and cannot get sick. Don't worry. ”

"My little princess. Now you are not only a princess, but also a person from the Prime Minister's House. Then Mrs. Jiang Xiang didn't want to go to the palace to visit the princess one day, for fear that the princess would not be used to it in the palace. I heard Jiang Xiang talking to the emperor in private. Xiangye's eldest son will be attached to the horse immediately. ”

Ji Yuluo wrinkled her nose disdainfully, "Nurse!" ”

Jiang Chumo is indeed a dragon and phoenix among people, but she already has a moonlit night in her heart.

Grandma Zhang didn't realize Ji Yuluo's thoughts, and continued to chatter, "Xiangye's eldest son is dignified and has both civil and military skills. People also seem kind. Like Xiangye, if the princess marries the eldest son, it can be said to be a good story for the ages. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has disappeared early, and there is no one to follow the throne, I see, in the next step, the emperor will definitely give the eldest prince a surname, in the future! Our little princess wants to be a mother in the world......"

The more Granny Zhang spoke, the more unspeakable she became, Ji Yuluo sat down and glared angrily, "Nurse!" The prince's brother is just missing, but his father is still alive. If your words are heard by other palace people, not only will I have no face in the palace. I'm afraid that it will affect Jiang Xiang's family and have no place to be buried. ”

Granny Zhang's face changed greatly, and she knew that she had said something. With tears in his eyes, he pulled his skirt and knelt to the ground, kowtowed, and said, "The princess is angry!" It's the old slave who doesn't take care of his mouth. The old slave was wrong......"

The woman begging for mercy regarded her as Princess Tianxiang who had grown up since she was a child in just a few days, and Ji Yuluo thought of this and calmed the anger in her heart. Leaning back on the head of the bed, the jade wrist was raised lightly, "Nurse!" Get up! I'm serious. ”

There was the sound of soft footsteps outside the window. From far to near, in a blink of an eye, I was in front of the door.

With the recognition of footsteps, Ji Yuluo knew in her heart who was coming. Turning his head to look, he saw the old monk Ruokong, the presiding monk of Pear Flower Temple, standing in front of the door as he imagined.

I got up late today and didn't go to the main hall on time as usual. She had to pretend to be sick, cover her mouth and cough gently.

When Granny Zhang saw that Ruokong was coming, she hurriedly greeted her, "Master! My princess thinks she caught a cold last night. No, it's not ...... yet."

"The princess has been at the temple for a few days. I didn't arrive at the main hall today, and there was a reason why the old man wanted to come. I was uneasy, so I came and looked. Ruokong entered the house, looked at Ji Yuluo from a distance, and said to Granny Zhang: "The princess's face is not good, I think she has a cold." The old man went to the bottom of the mountain to ask a doctor to take a look. ”

After Ruokong finished speaking, he didn't wait for Grandma Zhang to speak, and raised his legs and walked towards the door.

"Master and slow!" Ji Yuluo twitched her nose and frowned at the window, "Although the snow has stopped, the mountain road after the snow is not easy to walk." Descending the mountain and going up the mountain for a day. It doesn't matter to me. Just take a break."

"Princess! Are you really okay? Granny Zhang stepped forward suspiciously, reached out and touched Ji Yuluo's forehead.

Xiao Zhao asked worriedly, "Is it hot?" ”

Granny Zhang breathed a sigh of relief, her wrinkled old face smiled, and said to Ruokong: "Buddha bless." It's okay, it's not hot! ”

"That's good!" Ruokong nodded, "Then the princess has a good rest." The old man retires! ”

Ji Yuluo's eyes rolled and she smiled flatteringly, "Master! Why did you come alone today? ”

Ruokong was slightly stunned, and then made a gesture, "Tianlou has something to do today." Before dawn, he went down the mountain! ”

Ji Yuluo's spirit was shook, and her heart was full of surprise. This question really wants to find out if Tianlou is dead.

"Princess!"

When Ruokong left, Ji Yuluo couldn't do it, but Xiao Zhao's call echoed in his ears, and he came back to his senses this time.

"I suddenly felt terrible. I want to take a break. She cupped her forehead weakly and closed her eyes. The thick and long eyelashes cast two shadows under the eyes.

Xiao Zhao and Granny Zhang's eyes met, and they bowed and retreated.

Before closing the door, Ji Yuluo called Xiao Zhao.

"Call me Xiao Gui."

It didn't take long. Katsura came inside.

I was scared last night, but she was really well-behaved. With his hands in front of him, he lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes, not daring to glance at Ji Yuluo, and hurriedly came to the bed, and the rules were blessed, "Say hello to the princess!" ”

Ji Yuluo saw that the skin of Xiao Gui's mouth really bubbled a few times, and her heart was comfortable, "Did you sleep well last night?" Nothing happened, did it? ”

Xiao Gui was blessed again, "Princess Xie!" Slept very well. Nothing happened. ”

I wanted to test Xiao Gui to see if Tianlou was not dead, but after thinking about it, he didn't ask. Thinking about it, I asked, but there are no three hundred taels of silver here. Anyway, she killed Tianlou last night according to the killing order. When I think about it again, I don't have any worries in my heart.

The tower has gone down. That gave her an excuse. If the moonlit night asked, she could say that she didn't know that Tianlou was not dead. Remembering this perfect lie. She was secretly overjoyed.

Katsura went out. Granny Zhang came to ask Ji Yuluo if she wanted to rest for a day before setting off.

Ji Yuluo never wanted to see Tianlou again. The trail departs on a daily basis.

Ewhasa Temple was built on the top of Ewha Mountain. The scale is not large, but it is also a pavilion palace, with eaves and corners, and the scenery is picturesque. In front of the temple, you can see the mountains in full view.

Looking at the more than ten monks who came to the temple to send off, Ji Yuluo nodded to Ruokong and got on the warm sedan chair with Xiao Zhao's support.

The long pines are falling, and the trees are cloudy. The pine and cypress are colder than the top of the mountain, and the cold is pressing, and the slightest bit drills into the collar.

The stone steps that wind up are covered with a thick layer of snow, although it is soft and not slippery, it is not easy to carry the warm sedan chair. If you are not careful, it will be a sedan car that rolls over. Fortunately, considering the long distance and the mountain road, the people who carried the sedan chair were all carefully selected guards. Although they are all children of Xun Qi, carrying a sedan chair is also overkill.

Shaking and bumping, when it was dark, Ji Yuluo, who had hastily eaten some snacks when she went out, felt bitter in her mouth, and finally came to the foot of the mountain when she was dizzy.

Not far from the foot of the mountain is a temporary foothold. Ji Yuluo stayed here for one night when she came.
