Chapter 22: The Temple (2)
After everyone returned to the room, Ye Lingxi couldn't wait to ask Xiaolian about the reason for today's incident.
It turns out that it is very taboo to pray for blessings in the Taimiao, and the thunder represents the dissatisfaction of the heavens with the current emperor, and the anger of the heavens must be calmed by the way of the crown prince. Now the second prince has the highest voice, and he is the queen's concubine, so the emperor can only make the second prince the crown prince.
"No, what if the crown prince has already been canonized, and he rushes to the temple to pray for the rain on this day?"
"If that's the case, the emperor can only take the initiative to give way and become the emperor."
"Nani?!"
Ye Lingxi was about to be amused by the rules of this day and the country. Rain is a natural phenomenon, and catching up with the ninth day of September is also a matter of probability. Just because it's raining, it's too child's fun to do such a big thing as canonizing the crown prince or even giving up the throne!
"Then if it rains every time the temple prays for blessings, won't the royal heirs be able to catch up with this update speed?!"
"No, Princess. It is very, very rare for it to rain when the temple is praying, and as far as Xiaolian knows, Tianhe Kingdom has not encountered this situation for so many years. This rule has never been enforced, and I didn't expect that the current emperor ......"
"So, this temple has been prepared? If it's raining and the carriage can't go, stay here for one night? ”
"Yes, Princess. Every time the temple prays for blessings, the temple will be prepared, but this is the first time the royal family has really stayed overnight in the temple. ”
The corners of Ye Lingxi's mouth twitched, it seems that the emperor is really unlucky now, he has never prayed for rain in Taimiao on this day, and it rained on the ninth day of September this year. Fortunately, he has not yet been crowned prince...... But thinking about that Murong Lang becoming the emperor in the future, it is really difficult to say.
Ye Lingxi turned his head to look at Murong Cheng'an, who was eating pastries, if he wasn't stupid, he would definitely be able to become a generation of Mingjun, right? What a shame......
It's night.
Ye Lingxi rushed to the gate of the palace early in the morning to gather and set off for the Taimiao, but she didn't sleep well the night before, so even in the Taimiao where the conditions were relatively poor, she still fell asleep early. The bed in this Taimiao is not as big as the bed in the palace, and there is no extra quilt, so there is no way to put two beds of chicken rolls and 38 lines, so Murong Chengan and Ye Lingxi have to pull a quilt and sleep next to each other.
Ye Lingxi could sleep peacefully without distractions, but Murong Chengan couldn't sleep. He stared sideways at Ye Lingxi's face, and the more he looked, the more he wanted to lean over and kiss the two. But thinking that Ye Lingxi wouldn't let him kiss her without her consent, Murong Chengan had no choice but to endure it.
However, I didn't let you kiss, I didn't say I wouldn't let you hug...... Murong Cheng'an's eyes rolled with a purr, thinking about it. He carefully took Ye Lingxi's body into his arms, so soft and fragrant. Murong Cheng'an was holding the human-shaped pillow with satisfaction, and was about to sleep beautifully, but who expected that one of Ye Lingxi's legs suddenly lifted suddenly, and his knee just hit Murong Chengan's fragile part.
"Hiss......"
Good...... Hurt...... Why do you get hurt when you get close to her?! Murong Chengan felt that Ye Lingxi was simply sent by heaven to torture him. But he was reluctant to let go of the softness in his arms, and continued to hug Ye Lingxi tightly despite the pain.
The temple was very quiet at night, except for the slight sound of raindrops falling on the ground.
Murong Cheng breathed a sigh of relief and was about to sleep. Suddenly, an inopportune sound of footsteps appeared, and it happened to stop outside Murong Cheng'an's room. Although the person who came had already used light skills to try his best to lighten his steps, Murong Chengan was not really stupid, with his martial arts, this clue could still be found.
With intuition, Murong Cheng'an felt that the person who came was not good.
Sure enough, after the footsteps stopped, the air soon filled the air with the smell of ecstasy incense. Murong Cheng'an quickly held his breath and didn't inhale much ecstasy incense. But Ye Lingxi in her arms was different, she quickly inhaled some ecstasy incense while she was asleep, and Murong Chengan hurriedly pinched Ye Lingxi's thigh in an attempt to wake her up. However, Ye Lingxi has no martial arts at all, and his physique is very weak. A little Ecstasy was enough to make her delirious.
Murong Cheng'an thought quickly in his brain, what is the purpose of coming?!
Soon, the door was quietly pushed open, and two figures sneaked into the house. Murong Chengcheng was also stunned, and secretly narrowed his eyes a small slit, but in the dark, he really couldn't see the other party's appearance, and he could only judge from his clothes that he should be a eunuch in the palace.
What shocked Murong Cheng was that after these two people entered the room, they went straight to Ye Lingxi on the bed. Their target is Ye Lingxi!
I saw that the two pushed Murong Chengan's body aside, and then lifted Ye Lingxi in an attempt to lift her out of the room.
Murong Cheng was very anxious in his heart, seeing that the two of them were about to carry Ye Lingxi out of the room, he wanted to jump up and stop the two of them. But he hesitated again and again, and still did not make a move. Whether there was a helper outside the door, he couldn't be sure. If he acts now, he will inevitably be found out that he is pretending to be stupid, and the two people in the house can be killed on the spot, and they can prevaricate tomorrow if they don't know if they don't know. However, if there were their helpers outside the house, he would be completely exposed. Ecstasy incense can't be fascinated, which is obviously not something that a fool can do. Maybe someone is testing themselves tonight, and I don't know. In just a moment, Murong Chengan's mind turned a thousand times.
The most important question now is, by whom are they directed? Where do you want to take Ye Lingxi? And for what purpose?
While Murong Cheng'an was thinking, the two had already carried Ye Lingxi out of the room and closed the door again. The air quickly returned to silence as if nothing had happened. But the softness in his arms was no longer there, and Murong Chengan opened his eyes, and his eyes were full of anxiety.
Taimiao couldn't bring the guards privately, and Zhao Ping didn't follow. Murong Cheng'an had no choice but to wait for the visitor to leave completely, and woke up Xiaolian in the next room. At this time, Murong Chengan was extremely glad that Xiaolian knew martial arts.
"Master, why are you here?"
Ye Lingxi was taken away by two people with ecstasy incense and headed west. Make sure she's safe! If there is any inconvenience, go to the third prince to help you. ”
When Xiaolian heard that the princess had been kidnapped, and Murong Chengan's tone was unusually anxious, she immediately realized the seriousness of the problem and hurried away.
Murong Cheng'an, who returned to the room to wait for the news, suddenly regretted it very much, if he had just chosen to save her immediately, he wouldn't have to suffer so much now. He hid his strength and restrained his edge, just to avenge the death of his mother. However, if he lost Ye Lingxi for revenge, this was also unacceptable to him. Murong Chengan couldn't help but secretly imagine that if the mother concubine hadn't died, she would definitely like Ye Lingxi very much! This eccentric woman has increasingly occupied the most important position in his heart.
After Xiaolian caught up with the two eunuchs, she found that the two had placed Ye Lingxi in a very remote room in the westernmost part of the temple. Then, only one person was left to guard outside the room, and the other appeared to be on his way to report the news.
Xiaolian took a private look, this place was very remote, and she couldn't feel the breath of anyone other than the villain. If there is a fight, it probably won't attract anyone. So, Xiaolian simply changed her face in the dark, planning to rescue Ye Lingxi in a while.
After about a stick of incense, the eunuch who had just reported the news appeared with a person. It turned out to be Murong Lang!
Xiaolian was secretly shocked in her heart, this Murong Lang was so rampant after being named the crown prince, he dared to rob the princess in the Taimiao. Xiaolian knew that Murong Lang was a womanizer, Ye Lingxi was in a coma, and after a while, Murong Lang entered the room, and the fool could figure out what he wanted to do to Ye Lingxi.
Xiaolian was very worried. Resolutely can't let Murong Lang succeed! However, just as Xiaolian was about to rush out to knock Murong Lang and the two eunuchs unconscious and rescue Ye Lingxi, a black shadow suddenly came out from the side and flew by.
Xiaolian secretly exclaimed in her heart, this kind of skill, as far as she knew, could only be achieved by Murong Cheng'an. Xiaolian secretly guessed, could it be that the master was not worried about the princess, so he came in person? No, Xiaolian carefully recalled Murong Chengan's figure, the master was tall, but the black-clothed man in front of him was short, more like a woman. There is still someone in this world who can reach the level of the master's martial arts? And most likely a woman? Xiaolian couldn't figure out the identity of the man in black.
I saw the man in black enter the room, and then there was no movement. I don't know if the man in black is friend or foe, Xiaolian knows that her martial arts are not one-tenth of that of the man in black. Just when Xiaolian was secretly anxious and at a loss, there was an undisguised footstep in the distance. Xiaolian secretly panicked, who is coming?
Ye Yuzhen!
Xiaolian secretly exclaimed, tonight's events are too sudden and too weird! But no matter whether the man in black in the house is an enemy or a friend, Xiaolian knows that Ye Yuzhen is an enemy! Moreover, Ye Yuzhen didn't bring any entourage, she didn't know martial arts, and it was easy to deal with her. So, Xiaolian made a quick decision, flew out, and knocked Ye Yuzhen unconscious with one palm. Poor Ye Yuzhen, originally heard that someone accidentally leaked his mouth, the prince secretly came to the west, intending to come to catch the adulterer, but he didn't expect to be knocked unconscious before he got close.
After Xiaolian knocked Ye Yuzhen unconscious, she knew that she could no longer hide, and she was also very worried about Ye Lingxi's situation in the room, so Xiaolian pushed open the door of the room. Even if it is an enemy, she is not afraid, she must save Ye Lingxi.
Xiaolian who entered the room didn't expect the man in black to be surprised to see her, as if he knew her. The man in black was working for Ye Lingxi, and it seemed that he could bring out the ecstasy incense in Ye Lingxi's body in a short period of time, so that she could wake up as soon as possible.
Soon, the man in black stopped.
"Tell your master, if you can't protect Xi'er, I don't mind taking Xi'er away."
The cold voice said this, and then disappeared. The man in black deliberately hid his voice, and Xiaolian couldn't tell whether the man in black was a man or a woman from his voice.
Just after the man in black left, Ye Lingxi woke up.
