Chapter 159: Princess Taiping's Last Three Days

After the burial of the concubine, it was already the end of the year.

In the coming year, Princess Taiping really became more and more arrogant. Even though the new emperor has succeeded to the throne, she still criticizes the government and politics, and the princess's mansion is full of people, and almost half of the important ministers in the court are her protΓ©gΓ©s.

Of course, she also has to search for beautiful men everywhere to face her. Even sometimes walking on the street, she saw a handsome young man, who didn't care about it and directly kidnapped people back to the princess's mansion!

In the Taiping Princess's Mansion without the horses, it is almost night and night, **** constantly.

In Chang'an City, both the courtiers and the common people looked at it, and they all whispered to Princess Taiping.

Gu Caiwei saw this scene in her eyes, and she couldn't help frowning.

At this time, Du Junqing suddenly said to her again: "Princess Taiping wants to take back the control of the small iron mine in Changlai County." ”

"If you want to go back, you have to go back, that's her inheritance." Gu Caiwei said indifferently.

"I know, so she sent someone to ask for it, and I gave it directly. It's just ......" Du Junqing wanted to speak and stopped.

Gu Caiwei bowed. "I know what you're trying to say. It's just that we can't do anything at all now. In that case, take care of yourself. ”

Du Junqing also nodded when he heard this. "Now, the only thing I'm glad about is that she didn't look for you again."

"What are you looking for me to do again? I had already said that day. If she had listened, she would not have wanted to see me again; If she hadn't listened, she would have hated me by now, and she wouldn't have wanted to see me. Gu Caiwei smiled faintly, "So now, let's just be okay." ”

"Everyone is well......" Du Junqing took the initiative to repeat these four words, and his tone became more and more meaningful, "At that time, when I was young, I always felt that if people didn't do something vigorous in their lives, they would come to this world in vain to live." But now that I have reached this age, I have found that it is the best to be calm and have a good life. It's a pity that many people can't fulfill this wish in their lifetime - and I haven't achieved it either. ”

"Princess, she doesn't." Gu Caiwei sighed in a low voice.

The two of them were talking, when they heard a sound of kicking and tapping outside, and Du Yi and Gu Tianyuan suddenly came back!

Since the new emperor ascended the throne, Du Yi and Gu Tianyuan, as the henchmen of the new emperor, naturally followed him to ascend to heaven. Now that Du Yi has become the leader of the Ten Thousand Cavalry, and Gu Tianyuan is also in command of the Thousand Niuwei, the two of them are so busy every day that the dragon is not at the end of the day, and it is difficult for Gu Caiwei to have a meal with them.

As a result, it's only daylight now, and they're actually back?

Moreover, Du Yi and Gu Tianyuan still came to them.

"Daddy, how many weapons do we have in Yongxing County?" After Du Yi came over, he asked directly.

Du Junqing raised his eyebrows. "Why do you care about this?"

Du Yiyi paused for a moment before he whispered: "Now Princess Taiping is acting more and more arrogantly, and a few days ago, someone even told the sage that Princess Taiping planned to raise troops to seize power, and now she has sent people to Changlai County to transport weapons!" His Majesty had just discussed it with us and decided that we couldn't sit still, so ......"

Gu Caiwei looked at him speechlessly. "Such an important matter, you told us so generously, aren't you afraid that I will leak it out to Princess Taiping?"

"Auntie, you won't!" Du Yi smirked, "You have to meddle in these things, and you will interfere earlier." Since you haven't intervened, it means that you don't intend to involve yourself. Then it doesn't hurt for me to tell you, you won't betray me anyway. ”

Gu Caiwei didn't start, but Du Junqing was eyebrows tightened. "Are you going to be on His Majesty's side?"

"Isn't this nonsense? We have long been grasshoppers on a rope, and now who in the whole world does not know that I am His Majesty's right and left hand? It's too late to rebel now! Du Yi spread his hands.

Gu Tianyuan also nodded. "By the side of the saints, there will be rewards every three or five times, and this reward is much more than the money I have earned by selling medicine for my hard work. So, in order to make more money in the future, I am determined to support Your Majesty unswervingly! ”

These two little guys have already made up their minds, and Gu Caiwei naturally has nothing to say.

When Du Junqing heard this, he just pulled Gu Caiwei directly. "Madam, I remember that all the information about the mine is in my study, but where did it come from? Why can't I remember? ”

"Isn't it on the second level of the drawer on the left? Your seals are placed on the third floor. How can you forget something so important? I think you're really old. Gu Caiwei immediately answered.

"Hey, isn't it? In the blink of an eye, I'm almost forty! Du Junqing nodded and sighed.

While the two of them were talking, they had already walked away.

Du Yi and Gu Tianyuan listened to these words in their ears, and the two of them immediately glanced at each other.

"Study, second and third levels of drawers on the left, go!"

Then, the figures of the two people immediately disappeared.

In this way, Chang'an City has been quiet for several months.

On this day, Gu Caiwei was making a medicinal bath for Yan's little lady, and suddenly Princess Taiping's person appeared again.

"Duchess Ningguo, Princess Taiping is invited."

Gu Caiwei raised her eyebrows. "Are you sure the person Princess Taiping is looking for now is me?"

"That's right, it's you, Duchess Ning Guo. Now please come with us! The person who came said in a deep voice, but he stepped forward directly, pulled her and walked out.

This step was so hurried that she didn't even plan to leave time for changing clothes and freshening up.

Seeing this, Yan hurriedly chased after her. "Auntie, do you want me to go to my uncle?"

As she spoke, one of her hands reached for her cuff.

Gu Caiwei hurriedly shook her head. "No need. The princess and I are old acquaintances, and since she is looking for me now, there must be something important. I'll just go for it. β€œ

Yan listened, and then she withdrew her hand.

It's just that Gu Caiwei followed this person into the carriage of the princess's mansion, but found that the carriage did not go to Princess Taiping's residence, but drove all the way out of the city. It took a bumpy ride for I don't know how long before the carriage finally stopped.

Gu Caiwei got out of the car, only to find that she had been taken to the mountains outside the city.

There was a person standing at the foot of the mountain, and he took the initiative to lead the way for Gu Caiwei: "Duchess Ningguo, please come here." ”

Gu Caiwei followed him up the mountain again, only to see that there was a Buddhist temple hidden on the top of the mountain.

It's just that this Buddhist temple doesn't know how long it has been abandoned, and it doesn't have any popularity at all. Gu Caiwei stepped on it, and a puff of smoke and dust immediately came out of the soles of her feet, choking her and coughing.

Just as she was coughing, she heard an unbearable coughing sound coming from the main hall of the Buddhist temple.

Gu Caiwei hurriedly walked over when she heard the sound, and saw Princess Taiping sitting on the ground in front of the Maitreya Buddha statue in front of her.

Only the ground beneath her was clean. There were also a few people dressed as maids wiping the floors and walls, stirring up dust. But in this piece of dust, Princess Taiping sat steadily, except for a few occasional coughs, her body was motionless, and her face was terrifyingly calm.

Gu Caiwei bent down and saluted her, and Princess Taiping lazily lifted her eyelids: "You're really here." ”

"The princess has an appointment, how can I not come?" Gu Caiwei smiled, and also picked up the place opposite her and sat down. β€œ

Princess Taiping smiled lightly. "You didn't dare before. But now, your husband is famous all over the world, your eldest son is the saint's right-hand man, and your status in Chang'an City is not lower than mine, and you are already qualified to compete with me. Not to mention...... Now I'm even more down, if you don't give me this face, in fact, I can't do anything to you. ”

"But I want to give you this face!" Gu Caiwei said with a smile.

Hearing this, a trace of surprise appeared in Princess Taiping's eyes. "Is that what you think?"

"Of course. Otherwise, princess, why do you think I would come every time you called me over? That's also because I wanted to come. If I don't want to, even if you are Her Majesty's favorite daughter, you can't help me. Gu Caiwei said lightly.

"Yes." Princess Taiping nodded, "Didn't your grandfather treat my father and aunt like this?" A-Niang has always said that you have obtained the true inheritance of the high divine doctor, not only because of the medical skills and his lineage, but also because of your temperament. That's why she loved and hated you when she was alive, and she didn't know what to do with you. Now, I somewhat understand how A-Niang felt at that time. ”

Gu Caiwei smiled silently.

After Princess Taiping finished speaking, she couldn't help but smile gloomily. "But what's the use of talking about it now? After all, I still haven't become the second aunt, and I'm even far worse than her! Ah Niangquan knows that if she sees me fall into this situation, she is afraid that she will jump out of the grave and scold me, right? ”

Gu Caiwei couldn't help but whisper when she heard this: "So, princess, have you failed to seize power?" ”

Hearing this, Princess Taiping suddenly burst out laughing.

She laughed so loudly that the dust on the Buddha statue fell downward, staining the place where the maidservants had easily cleaned out.

The maidservants hurriedly turned around and planned to clean up again, but Princess Taiping waved her hand. "That's it, you all go down!"

The maidservants hurriedly bowed their heads and bowed down.

Gu Caiwei didn't retreat, she just stood in the distance, quietly watching Princess Taiping continue to laugh, but the more she smiled, the more sad the smile on her face became, and even the laughter was full of powerlessness.

A gust of mountain wind blew through the half-open doors and windows, making a whining sound, like the wail of a ghost.

Gu Caiwei sighed lowly: "Princess, are you hungry?" Would you like me to make you something to eat? ”

Princess Taiping suddenly stopped laughing.

She jerked her head. "Do you think I still have the appetite to eat?"

"Then why else did you call me over?" Gu Caiwei asked rhetorically.

Princess Taiping was stunned for a moment, then nodded. "Also, what else can I look down on besides making food? I was hungry too. In that case, go cook for me! ”

"Alright, princess, just wait here!" Gu Caiwei nodded hurriedly and hurried out.

Seeing her go out, a person quietly walked in: "Princess, Duchess Ning Guo went out to catch rabbits, saying that she wanted to make you a honey roast rabbit." It's just that...... Are you really going to eat what she makes? Don't forget, Ning Guogong's father and son are both saints, and she is also in the same group with them! ”

"Of course I do, but I believe her." Princess Taiping said lightly.

"Princess ......"

The people around her wanted to say something, but Princess Taiping waved her hand impatiently. "I'm tired, you left me alone and quiet."

Seeing this, this person had to shut up and obediently retreat.

Gu Caiwei just went out for a while, and she came back. When she returned, she was carrying a fat rabbit that had been skinned and washed.

"Look, princess, I caught it with my own hands!" She triumphantly lifted the rabbit to show off to Princess Taiping.

Princess Taiping couldn't help but have a look of shock on her face. "How did you get it?"

And so fast!

"It's very simple, use medicine! I don't have anything else here, a bunch of medicinal herbs, and it's very simple to attract some hares and pheasants. Gu Caiwei said as she raised a fire neatly with her hands and feet.

The people outside also sent in a bundle of dry firewood, Gu Caiwei set up the fire, and then she skewered the rabbits and roasted them on the fire.

She mastered the heat just right, so after about a stick of incense was roasted, a tempting fragrance was already permeating the broken temple.

When the rabbit's skin began to turn brown, Gu Caiwei took out a small porcelain bottle the size of a palm, and a small brush hung on the side of the porcelain bottle. Gu Caiwei opened the porcelain bottle, took a small brush to dip the contents of the bottle and brushed it on the rabbit, brushing it inside and out, and then drove the rabbit to the fire to roast it. Soon, in addition to the aroma of meat, there was also a sweet smell that quickly diffused.

Princess Taiping was originally in an extremely dull mood. But now that she smelled these smells, she couldn't help but raise her head, looked at the rabbit with both eyes, and quietly swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva.

Seeing this, Gu Caiwei hurriedly smiled at her: "Princess, wait a little longer, the time for a cup of tea will be fine." ”

Princess Taiping nodded.

After a cup of tea, the rabbit's skin had already been roasted to a golden brown and crispy, and the sweet and rich flavor filled the small Buddhist hall, enveloping both of them in it.

"That's it!"

Finally, Gu Caiwei screamed, she hurriedly took off the rabbit, let it cool for a while, and then ripped off a rabbit leg and handed it over. "Princess, please try it, this is a honey-glazed roast rabbit that I have developed myself, and my grandfather's favorite dish back then, we eat it several times every few days when we are away. My kids love it now! ”

Princess Taiping took it and tasted it, and she nodded. "It's sweet, it's really good."

"Needless to say? There are few people in the world who can match my cooking skills! Gu Caiwei nodded unceremoniously, and immediately tore a rabbit leg for herself and ate it.

The rabbit meat was marinated by her for a short time, and the salty taste seeped deep into the bones. After a high fire, the outer layer of meat is tightened, and the meat becomes crispy. Then brush a layer of honey on the top, and the honey will penetrate deep into the shredded meat with the help of a large fire, wrapping each shredded meat inside.

Therefore, after biting into such a bite, the outer layer is crispy and delicious, but the rabbit meat inside is extremely firm, and it is full of honey and sweet taste.

Gu Caiwei also squinted comfortably. "My craft has improved again. If my grandfather were still alive, he would have snatched all of this rabbit and left the rest for me when he had eaten enough. ”

When Princess Taiping heard this, she immediately snatched all the rabbits in Gu Caiwei's hand.

"Hey, don't! This is what I worked so hard to catch, and it took me a long time to bake! Gu Caiwei hurriedly shouted.

Princess Taiping looked at her coldly. "I'm a princess."

Gu Caiwei was speechless.

But fortunately, Princess Taiping is not too much. She ate one more leg and returned the rest to Gu Caiwei.

Gu Caiwei hurriedly ripped off another piece of meat and feasted on it.

At this moment, I suddenly heard the voice of Princess Taiping in my ear: "If I say, in fact, I don't plan to rebel, do you believe it?" ”

Gu Caiwei glanced at her lightly.

"Oh." With a muffled sound, she lowered her head and continued to eat.

Seeing this, Princess Taiping hooked the corners of her mouth. "I really don't. When A-Niang was alive, I did think about being the princess, but unfortunately A-Niang didn't allow it. She said that women are too tired to be emperors, so let me be a princess in peace and stability, and be happy for the rest of my life. But she said this, in the end, the person who really made me unable to live a stable life for the rest of my life was her! ”

"If she hadn't killed Xue Lang at the beginning, I would definitely be teasing Sun with Xue Lang now. However, it was she who ruined my happiness and used me to consolidate the relationship between the Wu and Li families. The reason why I am where I am today is because of her! ”

Speaking of the late Her Majesty the Empress, Princess Taiping still had a bit of hatred in her words.

Gu Caiwei just lowered her head and ate. That's Princess Taiping's mother-in-law, she can scold as much as she wants. But if she is an outsider, no matter what she says, then she still won't say anything.

And after Princess Taiping finished scolding, she smiled lightly: "Later, A-Niang abdicated, and Seventh Brother became the emperor." Originally, if I wanted to pull him down from the throne and replace him myself, it would have been fine. After all, Starling is timid and afraid, and Wei and An Le are ambitious and brainless, if I want to rebel, I should have done it at that time, so why wait until now? Now that the starling brother has also retired, San Lang has become the emperor, he is young and vigorous, but he has made outstanding achievements at a young age, and there are so many young talents around him who are used by him. I knew for a long time that my opportunity was over, and that my time for dominance was over. If I rebel again at this time, do I think my life is too long? ”

Only then did Gu Caiwei speak. "No one will think that you have a long life, but there will definitely be someone who thinks you have a long life."

"Yes, isn't the person who dislikes me now Saburo?" Princess Taiping smiled again, "I didn't look down on him from the beginning, and he didn't like me either, I didn't get along with him, and every time I saw him, I was bored." So I don't want him to be the crown prince, let alone the emperor. It's a pity that my obstruction is useless, his credit has already overshadowed all the princes, and there is no one to replace him, so he still sits down on this throne steadily. Now it seems that he not only wants to sit on this throne, but also to work hard to carry forward the Tang Dynasty again! ”

"And if I want my Datang's national strength to flourish, he must quickly remove the obstacles that stand in his way. Now, that obstacle is me. ”

Gu Caiwei lowered her eyes. "When two tigers fight, one loses. Princess, you lost. ”

"yes, I lost." Princess Taiping said with a smile, "There are talents in the country, and now that the younger generation has grown up, our older generation should also retire." It's just that my exit posture is a little more tragic. ”

"So, it's important to have a good meal before you leave." Gu Caiwei hurriedly answered.

Burst!

I was originally very serious and emotional. As a result, now hearing Gu Caiwei say this, Princess Taiping couldn't help laughing.

Look at Gu Caiwei again, she has already handed over a rabbit head.

"Princess, let me tell you, this rabbit head is delicious if you eat it right. You see, I even brushed three layers of honey on top of the barbecue just now! More than brushing on a rabbit! If you don't believe it, eat it! ”

Princess Taiping pursed her lips, and although she looked disgusted, she still took the rabbit head.

These two people here are eating rabbit meat, but they don't know that the people in Chang'an City have been looking for the two of them, and they are going crazy!

Especially on the Ningguo Mansion. As soon as Gu Caiwei was taken away on the front foot, the Yan family on the back foot planned to report the news to Du Junqing. As a result, before she was discharged from the hospital, Ah Zhong came back in a hurry.

"Madam, the prince of the world will come back and tell you that you will all stay in the house behind closed doors for the next few days. Don't go out unless you have to, and don't let anyone in. By the way, what about the Duchess? Shizi still has something to tell her alone! ”

Yan's face turned pale. "Auntie, she...... I was just picked up by Princess Taiping's people. ”

"Princess Taiping?" Ah Zhong raised his voice suddenly.

Yan was taken aback by his loud voice. "What's going on, you're screaming so loudly all of a sudden?"

"Today, His Majesty personally led people to rush to Princess Taiping's mansion and killed Princess Taiping's doormen and entourage. The notice learned the news and fled from the city first, and now the prince is leading people outside to search for her whereabouts! Ah Zhong said.

Yan's figure immediately flickered. "Then Aunt ...... her"

"Do you need to say it? must have been taken away by Princess Taiping! Ah Zhong shouted, his face immediately became extremely ugly, "No, I'm going to tell the prince about this!" We must ask the prince to send more people to find Madame as soon as possible! ”

It's just that he just turned around and wanted to go to Du Yi, when he saw that Du Junqing had already come.

"Grandpa Guo!" Ah Zhong hurriedly stepped forward and saluted.

Yan also hurriedly said: "Uncle, just now Ah Zhong came to ......"

"Said that Princess Taiping failed to rebel and had fled, and then she took your aunt away, right?" Du Junqing Shi Ran answered.

Yan nodded hurriedly. "Exactly! Uncle, we have to find my aunt as soon as possible! ”

"No need to look for it." Unexpectedly, Du Junqing immediately waved his hand.

Yan was slightly stunned, and then listened to Du Junqing: "You don't have to tell Ah Yi about this, she will be fine." She and the princess are friends, and now the princess should only have one friend. So before leaving, friends want to see and say a few words, isn't it normal? ”

"But now, Princess Taiping, she's an outlaw!" Ah Zhong shouted.

"Really? Do you think the dignified Princess Taiping would choose to be an outlaw? Du Junqing asked.

Ah Zhong was stunned again.

Du Junqing waved his hand. "People outside want to pretend to find someone, so let them find it! It's just that let's forget it. At present, everyone is arranged by the prince of the world, and they stay in the house honestly, and do not go out unless necessary. ”

With that, he turned and left.

"Uncle!" Seeing this, Yan couldn't help but scream again.

Du Junqing turned around when he heard this. "What else?"

"That...... The daughter-in-law just wants to ask, are we really doing nothing? Leave Auntie outside? Yan asked in a low voice. Be. Du Junqing fixed his head, "I'll wait for her to go home." ”

But this wait is three days.

Gu Caiwei also accompanied Princess Taiping for three days in this secluded Buddhist temple.

Taking advantage of this time, Gu Caiwei dug up all the wild meat that could be caught and the wild vegetables that could be dug in the mountains, and made a lot of food for Princess Taiping in different ways. Although the seasoning on hand is limited, but fortunately, her craftsmanship is exquisite, and she is stunned to make these things into flowers!

Three days of breakfast, lunch and dinner, plus supper, have never been the same!

At noon on the third day, Gu Caiwei and Princess Taiping fished two crucian carp from the stream on the edge of the mountain temple, Gu Caiwei made them into fish tray, and then took out her own unique dipping sauce. "Princess, please use it!"

Princess Taiping picked up a piece of fish and dipped it in the dipping sauce, and after eating the next bite, she refused to move her chopsticks again.

Gu Caiwei was very curious. "Am I not making it delicious?"

"No, I want to eat almond cake." Princess Taiping shook her head.

Gu Caiwei had no choice but to spread her hands. "You're really embarrassed about this. The conditions here are limited, and there is no flour, where can I make pastries for you? ”

"I know, so I'm just thinking about it." Princess Taiping said.

At the end, she added another sentence: "I shouldn't have a chance to think about it again in the future." ”

Gu Caiwei's eyebrows were slightly raised. "Princess, what's wrong with you?"

"The time has come." Princess Taiping said lightly.

Gu Caiwei suddenly chuckled in her heart! A bad premonition came over me.

Then, she heard a knock at the door outside, and Princess Taiping spoke: "Come in!" ”

A maidservant girl immediately walked in: "Princess, everyone has been evacuated. ”

"Okay, I got it. You have taken your deed of sale now, too! Go incognito, go far, and never return to this vanity fair. Princess Taiping bowed.

The maidservant quickly knelt down and kowtowed to her a few times, then turned away and walked away without looking back.

Princess Taiping turned her head again and continued to lift the chopsticks. "I can't eat almond cake, but the fish is actually very good. Either way, I can't go hungry, right? ”

While they were talking, Gu Caiwei had already taken the opportunity to look out of the door, and saw that when she came over three days ago, Princess Taiping was still accompanied by many servants and guards. But now, there is no one outside, and there are only two of them left in this Buddhist temple!

The bad premonition in her heart was even worse, Gu Caiwei hurriedly looked at Princess Taiping: "Princess, have you dismissed everyone?" ”

"yes!" Princess Taiping nodded, "I can't control those who are famous in the court. But these people have been with me for all these years, and they have no credit and hard work. Originally, I did all those mistakes alone, and I didn't want to implicate too many people. So now, let one go! If they are alive, there will be a few more people in the world who can say a few words to me, and even if I die, no one will only know how to scold me. ”

Gu Caiwei's heart sank.

"Since they can go, in fact, you can go, princess. I have a disguise powder here, and if you put it on your face, the average person will definitely not recognize you. As long as you avoid the first two months of searching, you will be safe and sound. ”

However, hearing her say this, Princess Taiping just smiled coldly: "Joke! I am a dignified princess of the Tang Dynasty, since I was able to bear the supreme glory at the beginning, can't I accept the downfall of failure now? Changing my face, mixing with the people and stealing a living, I will never do such things! Even if I die, I must die vigorously so that my whole life will go down in history. In this life, I will never be a villain who is greedy for life and afraid of death! ”

As she spoke, she glanced at Gu Caiwei again. "If it were you, you were in my position, would you choose to go away?"

"No, it won't." Gu Caiwei shook her head steadily.

Princess Taiping tugged at the corners of her mouth again. "In that case, why do you persuade me like that?"

"Then let me nod my head and say okay, you go, right? That's not appropriate! Gu Caiwei said, "So since I am here, I have to persuade a few words." But as for whether to listen or not, that's your own business, princess. ”

Princess Taiping couldn't help laughing again.

"You, you, how did I find out that every time I am with you, I can't stand up to any serious topics?"

"Isn't that good? People are already bitter enough in this life, so they will be happy when they have the opportunity. God doesn't make you happy, don't you want to have some fun for yourself? And you see, princess, once you laugh, you look much better than when you have a cold face! Gu Caiwei said busily.

The corners of Princess Taiping's mouth couldn't help but bend up a little. "You're right. Now that it's this time, I should laugh even more. Otherwise, they will be afraid of me! ”

"Isn't it?" Gu Caiwei nodded hurriedly. She hurriedly searched for a few more times, and then found a small packet of sugar pills, "This was originally made by me for my little granddaughter, but unfortunately I was called by you princess before I could feed it to her." In that case, these are for you! Princess, remember to eat one when you are in a bad mood, and you will definitely be in a good mood immediately! ”

"Okay!" Princess Taiping took it happily, "I'll go down the mountain first, and you can wait for half an hour before going down." I didn't want my friends to see me being arrested by officers and soldiers. ”

"Okay." Gu Caiwei nodded immediately.

Princess Taiping immediately took out a sugar pill and put it in her mouth, and then smiled at Gu Caiwei. "It's sweet, indeed."

Then, she turned around and walked out of the Buddhist temple step by step, and her figure gradually disappeared into the shade of the green trees.

Gu Caiwei sat quietly in place. Although Princess Taiping was gone, she didn't look away for a long time.

It wasn't until about half an hour had passed that she let out a sigh of relief and stepped out of the Buddhist temple.

However, she was about to go down the stairs when she suddenly heard a noise in the woods next to her, and then several people wearing fanged masks flashed in front of her.

"Duchess Ningguo, my second son-in-law is invited, please come with us!"
