Then, it was he who broke the silence.

Jiang Shangyi clenched his fists, pursed his lips, and hammered his thigh fiercely, as if to muster up courage, he turned sideways to Sima Jing and said, "Lord Wang, leave this matter to me, I will go back to the palace to inquire again, and I will definitely find a way to let His Highness enter the White Horse Temple." ”

Looking at Jiang Shangyi's expression, Yi Xue couldn't help but say with some worry: "Father-in-law Jiang, you will be very embarrassed, we have to stop thinking of other ways." ”

Jiang Shangyi became a little excited and said, "Your Highness, don't worry about the old slave, this is the only thing the old slave can do for you." ”

Yi Xue was speechless, Shen Xing motioned for her to stop talking, he turned to Jiang Shangyi and said:

"Father-in-law Jiang, don't be in a hurry, this should be a breakthrough, but the specific news has to trouble you to find out, we will also find out which workshop it is, and we will definitely help you."

Listening to Shen Xing's words, Jiang Shangyi's brows also relaxed, and he respectfully thanked him:

"Thank you, Lord Shen."

Ning Ying, who was on the side, also lightly placed it on Jiang Shangyi's clenched fist, as if to reassure him, and said:

"I know that Gonggong Cao is a suspicious person, and I will also help you ask."

There are whispers inside the house, but there is a lonely figure outside the house.

Sima Cheng also got up, pretending to pace in the courtyard, but in fact he was observing the movements around him, in case there was a dark shadow like last time.

The night breeze suddenly rose, the moonlight sprinkled softly in the courtyard, the mottled shadows of the trees swayed, and Sima Cheng's casually tied hairband also swayed with the wind, he quietly looked up at the sky, there were no stars, only a bright moon. But he still enjoyed the scenery that belonged to him with fascination.

Tonight's events have gradually come to an end, the atmosphere has been somewhat relaxed, and everyone is either relieved by the present moment or worried about the future.

At this moment, the secret conversation in the room seemed to be coming to an end, and Yi Xue got up and walked into the hall, with a resolute look in her eyes and a solemn expression, and said:

"Lord Jing, Lord Shen, Gonggong Jiang, Aunt Ning, what you did for Yi Xue and Ah Ji today, Yi Xue remembers it in your heart, and there is nothing to return at this moment, please accept Ji Xue's worship."

After speaking, he leaned over, put his hands in front of him, knelt down in front of everyone, and solemnly kowtowed.

Jiang Shangyi and Ning Ying hurriedly got up and helped Yi Xue up, Ning Ying's eyes were full of love, and said:

"Good boy, don't say such things, the next journey will be extremely difficult, I just hope that in the future, you will not blame us."

Saying that, she couldn't help but sigh, in the troubled times, in the deep palace, how could there be any happiness at all.

With tears in her eyes, Yi Xue shook her head and said, "No, Aunt Ning, this is the path that Yi Xue chose by herself." ”

Sima Jing, who had been silent for a long time, couldn't help but nod after listening to Yi Xue's words, with a look of relief on his face, the bright moon gradually brightened, rising to the sky, it was not too early, he got up and spoke:

"Then everything will go according to this plan, there are two people who have made a special trip out of the palace tonight, and you must be careful when you go back."

Jiang Shangyi and Ning Ying hurriedly got up and saluted goodbye to the prince.

Then, Ning Ying took a small step closer to Sima Jing and whispered:

"I thank the prince for everything she has done, if she knows and knows that you are protecting her child as always, she will be at ease."

The prince lowered his head slightly and said to Ning Ying, "Aunt Ning is serious. ”

Yi Xue was very reluctant, Ning Ying walked up to Yi Xue, held her hand, and said, "In the future, you will be His Royal Highness Ji, don't cry all the time......

When she heard this, she quickly wiped away the tears on her face with her hands.

“…… You must enter the palace safely, and don't be reluctant, enter the palace, and we will get along for a long time. Ning Ying showed a long-lost smile and patted Ji Xue's hand a few times to soothe her heart.

Jiang Shangyi also hurriedly said: "Your Highness, rest assured, the old slave believes that you will definitely return to the Dayu Palace." ”

Yi Xue nodded vigorously, shook her nose, adjusted her expression, and said goodbye to the two.

Jiang Shangyi and Ning Ying walked out of the house, and when they left along the corridor, they passed by the courtyard. Ning Ying saw Sima Cheng standing in the courtyard, and suddenly felt that this person was a little familiar, the expression as calm as water, the demeanor of staying out of the matter, seemed familiar, but she couldn't remember it all of a sudden.

Sima Cheng heard the footsteps of the two, and turned his head to meet Ning Ying's gaze, Ning Ying suddenly seemed to remember something, and saluted respectfully.

I didn't expect that the person back then is now such a handsome teenager.

Sima Cheng was a little dazed, he didn't know the two, but he also knew that they were both Sima Jing's guests, so he also respectfully saluted the two.

Jiang Shangyi and Ning Ying naturally reciprocated with courtesy.

After Sima Cheng made sure that the two of them had left the house safely, as soon as the front foot returned to the courtyard, the back foot was called into the house by Sima Jing, and Shen Xing told Sima Cheng everything about the situation of Jiang Shangyi and Ning Ying just now and the plan for Yi Xue to appear, of course, except that Yi Xue is princess.

The implementation of this plan requires the assistance of Sima Cheng.

Sima Cheng's martial arts are strong, Shen Xing wants Sima Cheng to sneak into the White Horse Temple, and at the same time as Yi Xue appears, Sima Cheng takes advantage of this to lift the roof tiles of the Buddha hall and let the sunlight shine on the gold body of the Buddha statue, so as to achieve the effect of "the Buddha's light returns to the Son of Heaven".

After listening to Sima Cheng's head, he said that he understood that Shen Xing was his master in terms of strategy and power, Shen Xing was resourceful, and after listening to his methods, even Sima Cheng himself felt that this was very good.

Sima Cheng glanced at it unintentionally, and saw Yi Xue sitting on the side, Yi Xue bit her lip lightly, her face was cramped and uneasy, her left hand pinched her right hand, and her lonely and thin back couldn't help but make him think of the word Chu Chu pitiful.

But—

"The Art of War" has a cloud: "Throw into the place of death and then survive, fall into the place of death and then live." It is said that only by cutting off the retreat can we make up our minds, and we can succeed with unwavering efforts.

Sima Cheng couldn't help frowning slightly.

……

Early the next morning, Sima Jing and his party were busy.

In the palace, Jiang Shangyi went to the inner chamber to inquire about the news, and Ning Ying probed in the Empress Dowager's palace; Outside the palace, Yang Wei was responsible for the whereabouts of the four workshops, and Shen Xing sent someone to draw a map of the White Horse Temple, and confirmed the route of the day with Yi Xue, Sima Jing, and Sima Cheng.

That night, Jiang Shangyi's news was sent to King Jing's mansion. It is said that the Imperial Reiji did order a kind of Buddhist lamp called "Obon" outside the palace, and the number is huge, about 200 of them. Because there are too many of them, the people of the Ministry of Rites will regularly go out of the palace to check the workshop, and the Buddha lamp will not be sent into the palace again, and on the day of the sacrifice, let the people of the workshop send things to the temple in advance.

On that day, there were only two days left before the Obon Festival, and it was probably too late to follow the people of the Rite Division to find the workshop, but they had already asked about the things ordered, and there were so many of them, and there were not many workshops in Luojing City that could make Bon Buddha lamp supplies.

According to Jiang Shangyi's information, the method of pretending to be a little eunuch no longer works, but Yang Hui brought good news from the workshop - this workshop was worried that there would be not enough people for the Obon Buddha lantern, and was recruiting small workers to help that morning.

It's really a wish from heaven and man, just waiting for the opportunity to happen.
