A few days later, Shen Wu'an's promulgation of a holy decree in public caused quite a stir in the court.

According to the holy decree, in view of the fact that there have been a lot of rumors circulating in the government and the opposition recently, in order to give an explanation to the courtiers, and also to prove Qu Wurong's innocence, the special intention is to send him to the royal Zen temple to practice and pray for blessings before finding out the truth of this matter, and only when the truth is revealed can he return to the palace.

After the promulgation of this holy decree, the courtiers' feelings were really calmed down a lot, after all, Shen Wu'an's attitude towards this matter before was blindly protective of Qu Wurong, and he couldn't listen to the courtiers' advice, which made many ministers very disappointed, and now he offered to send Qu Wurong to the Royal Zen Monastery to practice and pray for blessings, which can be regarded as a manifestation of his determination to face this matter squarely.

In fact, this holy decree is ostensibly Shen Wu'an compromising with those courtiers who are pressing step by step, but in fact it is to protect Qu Wurong, just as Gongsun Yifan reminded him, let Qu Wurong get out of the sight of the courtiers, and prevent them from holding her anymore, and wait until he solves the initiator of the rumors, and then take Qu Wurong back to the palace from the royal Zen courtyard.

It's just that this kind of thinking is not something that everyone can understand.

After hearing the little eunuch who came to announce the decree read out the holy decree, the first thing that couldn't bear it was a few girls around Qu Wurong, "What does the emperor mean by this?" Why do you suddenly ask Niangniang to go to the Royal Zen Monastery to practice and pray for blessings? Could he really believe what those people said? ”

Shen Wu'an didn't discuss this matter with Qu Wurong before making a decision, so she was also stunned when she first heard it, but she quickly understood Shen Wu'an's good intentions, and when she heard a few girls complaining, she couldn't help but excuse him and said: "You guys, don't talk nonsense, the emperor must have his intentions in doing this!" ”

"And what is his intention?" Jin Yu flattened his mouth in disbelief, "No matter what, he should believe that you are, Miss, doing so is obviously listening to other people's slander!" ”

"Say less!" Hearing that she began to speak freely again, Qu Wurong couldn't help but glare at her, "No matter what, he is the emperor, and the decision he made is a holy decree, we just need to follow it." ”

Hearing that she was still defending Shen Wu'an like this at this time, Jin Yu was angry and anxious, but she didn't dare to say anything to make her angry, so she could only stomp her foot fiercely and stand aside silently.

In fact, if you can't understand Shen Wu'an's approach, why is she the only one? Even the two sisters, Yangchun and Bai Xue, who have been by Shen Wu'an's side since childhood, were upset for Qu Wurong, "Even the emperor can't just wronged others, Niangniang, you must not be soft-hearted, otherwise the two of us will accompany you to the emperor and ask him why he treats you like this, okay?" ”

"That's it, that's it!" Seeing that someone was standing aside with him, Jin Yu also forgot that he had just been reprimanded, and hurriedly leaned over and echoed, "Miss, you can't be kicked out of the palace so inexplicably, right?" ”

Although she didn't want to stay in this palace with no freedom at all every day, if someone was kicked out of the palace in such a way, she couldn't accept it.

"Alright, alright!" Listening to their indignant complaints, Qu Wurong felt a little helpless at the same time, "I know that you are all fighting for me, but this matter is not as simple as you see on the surface, I can understand why the emperor issued such a holy decree, and I don't feel that there is anything unacceptable to go to the Royal Zen Monastery to practice and pray for blessings, you guys don't have to quarrel about this matter anymore, let me be alone and quiet, okay?" ”

Hearing her say this, although the girls still felt unfair, they didn't say anything more, after all, she was the party to this matter, since the parties had no complaints, then it was useless for them to talk about the maids, anyway, it was in vain.

After a few girls left, Qu Wurong breathed a sigh of relief.

She knew that the girls were all for her good, and she also wanted to make it clear to them Shen Wuan's intentions in doing this, but after thinking about it, since Shen Wu'an didn't discuss or explain to her before making this decision, it meant that he should have other plans, if she rashly told a few girls about his plans, she was naturally not worried that the girls would betray them, but if they took this matter too seriously, it was easy to arouse the suspicion of others.

I had to wait until I arrived at the Royal Zen Monastery and then find a chance to explain to them.

In the evening, when Shen Wu'an returned to the Xiangxue Palace, he found that today's atmosphere was different from the past, especially the attitude of several girls towards him, although it was not as bad as before, it was not as intimate as before.

understood that it was because of today's holy decree, so Shen Wu'an didn't say anything, which made the girls who thought he would explain to everyone why they did this disappointed him.

When it was time to go to bed, Shen Wu'an asked about what happened today, and Qu Wurong replied helplessly: "After receiving the holy decree, several of them are about to quarrel!" ”

"What about you?" Shen Wu'an lowered his head and looked at her, "Don't you have anything to ask me?" ”

He could see that if those girls weren't in the way of their identity, they were afraid that they would have rushed up to question him as early as the moment he just returned to Xiangxue Palace, so what about Qu Wurong? Is she full of complaints about him like a few girls, or can she understand his good intentions?

Qu Wurong shook his head gently, "I believe that you are doing this for my good, and you will not hurt me." ”

"I knew that Xiao Rong'er, you knew me best!" Her words made Shen Wu'an's heart iron, and he stretched out his hand to stop her in his arms, Shen Wu'an gently rubbed the top of her hair with his chin, and then continued: "Recently, the court has been more and more suspicious of you, I'm afraid it's not safe to live in the palace, you go there for a while first, and I will do my best to find out who is making trouble behind the scenes, and then I will take you back." ”

"Hmm." Qu Wurong leaned into his arms and nodded, "It doesn't matter where I live, the most important thing is to find this ill-intentioned person as soon as possible, otherwise I am afraid that it will cause other turmoil in the future." ”

Shen Wu'an tightened his arms and hugged her, and responded, "I will." ”

The next day, Qu Wurong asked a few girls to pack some things to bring with them, and prepared to leave for the Royal Zen Monastery today, although the girls still looked unhappy, but they no longer kept complaining like yesterday, and obediently packed their things according to their words, and prepared to follow her to the Royal Zen Monastery.

Originally, the four girls were going to follow Qu Wurong out of the palace together, but before leaving, Qu Wurong called Yangchun and Bai Xue to one place alone and instructed them: "You two don't go with me, stay and take good care of the emperor, the days I am not in the palace depend on you." ”

Hearing her words, Yangchun and Bai Xue glanced at each other, and it was Bai Xue who spoke, "Niangniang, there are so many people in the palace, there is no shortage of people around the emperor, but there is no shortage of people around the emperor, but on the side of the Royal Zen Academy, I heard that those monks and nuns only know how to chant and chant Buddha all day long, it is really very deserted, let's let the two of us go with you." ”

"That's right!" Yang Chun nodded approvingly, "If there are more people, it can be a little more lively." ”

Qu Wurong shook his head, "Although there are a lot of people serving in the palace, after all, the two of you have been with the emperor since childhood, and you know his living habits well. ”

"He's already done this to you, and you're still thinking about him everywhere?" Yang Chun pouted when she heard this, although Shen Wu'an was their master, but they didn't help their relatives, this time she decided that Shen Wu'an was doing something wrong, so she decided to stand firmly on Qu Wurong's side.

Bai Xue seemed to realize something, and after thinking about it, she agreed to her request: "Okay, the two of us will stay and take care of the emperor, and if there is any news, let people inform you in time." ”

The "news" she said is naturally the truth of this rumor.

Hearing her say this, Qu Wurong was relieved, "Okay, with the two of you here, I'll be relieved." ”

The carriage had already been prepared outside the Xiangxue Palace, and after explaining to the two girls Yangchun and Bai Xue, Qu Wurong took Jin Yu and Liangyuan to board the carriage and left, this is what she told Shen Wu'an yesterday, the sooner she leaves the palace, the more safe she will be.

Seeing the carriage gradually disappear from sight, Yang Chun turned his head and looked at his twin sister in confusion, "Bai Xue, why did you agree to stay?" ”

"Or else?" Bai Xue glanced at her angrily when she heard this, "Since Niangniang has already decided not to take the two of us with you, can you still convince her to change her mind?" ”

"Hmm......" Yang Chun shook his head in embarrassment, "I can't." ”

Bai Xue showed an expression of "I knew it was like this" on her face, "Moreover, since Niangniang still remembers the emperor in her heart, it means that the emperor must have explained to her last night, but he didn't tell us, what we have to do is to take care of the emperor, don't talk more about other things, understand?" ”

After all, this is a matter between Shen Wu'an and Qu Wurong, since the two of them have reached a consensus, then there is no need for those of them who are maids to mix blindly together, as long as they do what the master instructs.

Hearing her say this, Yang Chun realized this in hindsight, and quickly nodded, "Understood!" ”

After Qu Wurong and the carriage they were riding in left the palace, they headed in the direction of the Royal Zen Temple. Although it was named "royal", this temple was not built in the imperial city, but on a hill on the outskirts of Tiandu City, about an hour's drive from the imperial palace.

The carriage drove through the lively and noisy streets, and all kinds of voices outside came into the car, Jin Yu lifted the curtain of the car and glanced out, and soon put it down again, looking at Qu Wurong not far away and stopped.

Noticing her tangled expression, Qu Wurong put down the book in his hand, looked at her and said, "I know what you want to say, but the carriage is not a place to talk, and when you get there, I will give you an explanation." ”

Hearing her say this, the look on Jin Yu's face finally relaxed a little, but it didn't say so in her mouth: "I don't want to talk about this, I just want to ask how long it will take for us to arrive." ”
