Chapter 533: Bumping into
Baoling Temple is not far from the capital, and the carriage arrived at the foot of the temple in less than half a day.
Gu Chen donated a large amount of incense money in Baoling Temple every year, so he was treated as a distinguished guest in Baoling Temple, so as soon as Qin Niang's carriage arrived, a group of monks had been waiting there for a long time.
In view of what happened the last time Qin Niang came here, when the monks saw her again, their faces inevitably flashed with a hint of complexity, but after all, he was a monk, and these things were quickly overshadowed by their solemn faces.
A monk who seemed to have relatively high seniority stepped forward and recited the Buddha's name: "Two donors, the wing room has been arranged for you, please come with the poor monk." ”
Qiu Xue took Qin Niang's arm and followed the monk up the steps of the temple, and walked towards the good wing room that they had already arranged.
In order not to go back and forth, Qin Niang came out to make incense this time, and she still had to stay for one night.
Of course, the room I lived in this time was not in the same place as the last time, because it was a good wing room, and there were only two or three rooms on the left and right, and when Qin Niang walked in, the door of the wing room at the end of the corridor was closed suddenly.
Qiu Xuehu glanced over there suspiciously, but she didn't care too much, she accompanied Qin Niang out to incense this time, but she was on a mission, except for Qin Niang's safety, other things were not in her charge.
"The two of you please take a break here, the poor monk will have an evening class for a while, so I won't accompany you much, and the little monk will send some food to the two of you in a while, please feel free." After the monk finished speaking, he folded his hands and withdrew.
After the monk left, Qin Niang looked out into the courtyard, where a Bodhi tree was planted, and this season was the time when the branches were flourishing.
"Miss, do you want to get some sleep first? It's tiring enough to ride in a carriage along the way. Qiuxue looked at the sky, it was already past noon, but the weather outside was still quite hot.
"It's okay, I'm a little sleepy, someone will bring food over for a while, and if you're hungry, you can eat first, I'm really a little unbearable, so lie down for a while." Qin Niang said, yawned, and walked towards the only small bed in the room.
"Miss, put it to sleep, the slave is here to guard." Qiu Xue sat down on the only chair in the room, her ears standing up alertly.
Qin Niang lifted the quilt, lay down, and fell asleep not long after.
After she was pregnant, she was already sleepy, and the carriage shook along the way, she was indeed tired and sleepy, even if the carriage was already very stable after Gu Chen's modification, and the seats inside were extremely soft and comfortable, but the weather was hot after all.
In addition, in order to avoid the hottest time at noon, she also got up early in the morning, so at this moment, she was so sleepy that she almost couldn't open her eyes.
After a while, a monk brought them some tea and food, and after Qiu Xue took it, he put it on the table.
The wing room was a little far away from the main hall, so they couldn't hear the chanting over there, and there were not many people living in this wing room, so it was particularly quiet.
Qin Niang slept this time, and slept directly until the evening.
The monks in the temple were very thoughtful to Qin Niang, the guest, and sent a little monk to send them food and water, this afternoon, Qiuxue drank a few large pots, although the temple was light, but these vegetarian foods were also done well, and she ate several plates of dim sum alone.
After eating fasting in the evening, Qin Niang felt full of energy and wanted to go out to eliminate food, so Qiuxue accompanied her.
"Miss, this big night, I always feel that this mountain is quiet, let's go back here for a casual walk." Qiu Xue held her arm and shook the hair that gradually stood up on her body as she spoke.
It's not that she's timid, it's really a little empty on this mountain, and this time is not the time when the largest number of people enter the incense, so most of the wings are vacant, and there is a cool breeze wherever you go, which always makes people feel a little hairy in their hearts.
If she is alone, it will be enough, but Qin Niang still has a big belly at the moment, if there is a little errand, she is sure that her little life will definitely have to be explained.
"This mountain is full of monks, what are you afraid of? Besides, I'll just walk around here, and I'll be fine, don't worry. Qin Niang patted her hand and said.
She swore she didn't mean to come out and walk around to bump into something, she really ate too much and wanted to come out to eat.
Moreover, the doctor also said that she should move around more at this time, so that she can give birth in the future, and she doesn't want to have a large fetal dystocia at that time.
Besides, now that the sky is almost dark, it is quiet everywhere, and she doesn't want to have something wrong at this time, or encounter any danger.
A person who has been reborn for a lifetime, she spares her life more than anyone else.
However, there are some things that she really can't calculate, and the more she doesn't want to bump into something at this time, she just lets her bump into it.
Just as she was about to return to her chamber through the cloister, she heard a woman's voice in the distance: "Can't you let me see him?" I've never seen him for so many years, I don't even know what he's become now, and now that he's finally back in the capital, can't he see me? ”
There was some pleading in the woman's voice, even if Qin Niang didn't see her face clearly, she could imagine that the expression on her face at the moment must be pitiful.
Qin Niang had no intention of eavesdropping on others, but then a deep male voice came: "When you should meet, I will naturally arrange for you to meet, and now your first task is to go back and think about letting the eleventh prince show up in front of the emperor, don't think about other things!" ”
The man's voice was cold and stern, as if it came from hell, and invisibly, it made people feel a chill.
Qin Niang originally planned to go back to the wing, but she paused because of this man's words.
He just said the eleventh prince?
Qin Niang pulled Qiu Xue and hid behind the huge Bodhi tree, stretched her neck to look at the place where the sound came from, and saw a man and a woman standing opposite each other behind the bushes not far away.
The man was dressed in black, and his face was covered with a cloth, so that people could see his face clearly, but the gaze he shot at the woman in front of him was full of coldness.
The woman was wearing a very inconspicuous dark coarse cloth suit, and a square scarf was wrapped around her head, and she didn't know that she thought it was a rough woman in the house, but Qin Niang recognized her at a glance.
Isn't this Concubine Mi, the biological mother of the eleventh prince?
Immediately, her mind instantly surged up with the "good show" that Gu Chen said before, could it be that what he said was just this Mi Concubine Niangniang?
However, she sneaked out of the palace like this, and dressed herself up like this, who did she want to see?
"But, I'll just look at him from afar, can't I believe him if I don't believe it?" The woman pleaded again.
"No way!" The man decisively refused, "If you don't want to die, don't ask to meet at this time, and don't come out to see me again in the future, if people see it, our plan will be over." ”
The man said indifferently.
Qin Niang only felt that her breath was stagnant, she seemed to have overheard some terrible secret!
Immediately, she pulled Qiu Xue and was about to go back, the man was not a good person at first glance, if he found out, she was sure that the two of them would be killed in the next second.
Although Gu Chen said that she had sent secret guards to protect her in the dark, for the sake of the overall situation, she couldn't let the other party find out that someone had overheard their conversation just now in the dark, otherwise, not only the other party's plan would change, but their plan would also change.
She and Gu Chen were impatient to fight with these people again, they both wanted to dig out these people as soon as possible and solve them, and then happily go to the mountains and rivers.
However, less than five steps away from the Bodhi tree, the man immediately sensed something unusual, and his eagle-like eyes shot towards him, and shouted, "Who? Who's there? ”
Qin Niang's heart instantly rose to her throat.
Qiu Xue was also very anxious in her heart, but even if she practiced some martial arts, she couldn't take Qin Niang quietly and quickly away, so she could only half-hold Qin Niang's body and carry her to the side room where they lived.
However, fortunately, Gu Qing and Gu Bai have been following them, seeing that the situation is not good at this time, naturally they can't hide anymore and pretend to be absent, they glanced at each other, Gu Bai immediately swept in the other direction, and even made some movements.
Sure enough, the man immediately chased in the direction where Gu Bai made a movement.
And Concubine Mi, who was disguised as a woman in the market, stood there with a pale face at this moment, and she didn't know what to do for a while.
Was their conversation overheard?
So what to do?
For a moment, she didn't even know whether to stand here and wait for the man to come back and tell her what to do next, or whether she should go back to her own room right away.
Here, Qin Niang was half-supported by Qiu Xue and finally returned to her room, and the moment she closed the door, the master and servant finally breathed a long sigh of relief.
"He didn't chase after him, thinking that it was Gu Qing and they lured people away." Qiu Xue patted her chest and said with palpitations, "Just now, I really scared the slave to death." ”
Qin Niang was also shocked into a cold sweat, you know, she still has one in her stomach, if she was discovered at that moment just now, even if there are secret guards to protect her now, but she can't wait until she returns to the capital, what method will these people use to kill her.
"It's okay, it's okay, I don't know how Gu Qing lured people away." Qin Niang patted her heart with one hand and held her stomach with the other.
If you let the other person know that they were overheard in their conversation, you don't know if it will make them change their plans.
"Miss, just now they mentioned the eleventh prince, is it possible, that woman just now is Concubine Mi Niangniang?" Qiu Xue didn't know Concubine Mi, but she knew who the biological mother of the eleventh prince was.
