The weather was not good.

It's already more than halfway through, but it's still gloomy. The clouds are extremely thick, and they are stacked back and forth, and it seems that they are about to fall down immediately. Occasionally, half of the sky is revealed at the intersection, but it still has a faint gray.

Xiao Xiang got up early in the morning and was served by the palace maid to bathe and change clothes. Originally, she was supposed to fast for three days before going to the Buddhist temple, but at this time, it was expedient, in order to create the illusion that Lu Dongzan was really poisoned, so all the cumbersome procedures were canceled, and only bathing was enough.

The car was already ready, and Li Shimin issued a special decree to allow the car to drive straight out of the palace, and the princess did not have to get out of the car to walk. Xiao Xiang was served by Xi Xi and got into the car, and the car slowly drove out.

This is different from the car she took with Li Ke out of the palace last time, because her identity at the moment is a "patient", so everything in the car is mainly comfortable. The space in the car is very spacious, and the whole compartment is wrapped in soft padding, so you are afraid of hitting and injuring people when you stop in an emergency. The mats were all sewn from fine silk. The surface of the satin is embroidered with delicate patterns. On the right side of the carriage is a low table, under which there are several dark compartments, Xiao Xiang was a little curious, and raised his hand to pull open a dark compartment...... It was full of candied fruit and other snacks. It took a few slots to find something different from the last one.

It is a delicate hairpin, which is the same as the white jade butterfly that Li Ke gave her before, but this hairpin is made of ruby, and the cut of the gemstone is excellent, which is extremely rare in this dynasty. She subconsciously stroked the butterfly jade pendant hanging around her neck, a smile appeared between her eyebrows, and she took the hairpin into her arms.

She knew that Li Ke cared about her very much, and this hairpin must have been given by him. Having such an older brother is really a great happiness in life. The carriage moved slowly, and the sound of the horse's hooves stepping on the ground was very rhythmic. The body of the car shook slightly, not very much, just to make people fall asleep.

I don't know how long it took, she woke up from the dream, but the car was still moving, Xiao Xiang slightly lifted the curtain, and looked out from the side window, the gray sky had revealed a brilliant gold, the clouds had been dyed transparent, surrounded by a layer of red edges, and the sun had also shown its face.

The golden sunlight is shining from the top, and the leaves on the side of the road are green and lovely. This will obviously be out of the city, Xiao Xiang rubbed his eyes, and felt a little apprehensive in his heart.

It's not because of anything else, but because I know the end of history in advance, so I feel uneasy.

She once heard a story about a businessman in the Song Dynasty who fell asleep in a ruined temple when he came home one year because of heavy rain. When I woke up in the night, I heard someone talking, and his name was mentioned as he spoke. He didn't get up, he closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.

Then they heard the two men talk about how he would drown in two days. Since he had heard how he died, how could he give in. So he found a place to live without water, not to mention lakes and rivers, not even a drop of water to drink, and the ground was already dry with cracks.

How can people drown in such a dry place? He thought to himself.

However, what he did not expect was that two days later, the place suddenly collapsed, and he fell into the ground, where there was an underground lake, and he was so frightened that his feet slipped and he drowned.

Isn't that the case for you?

Xiao Xiang took a deep breath and slowly got out of the car. The monks of Huichang Temple had already lined up to greet her, and she saw the debate machine standing behind the abbot at a glance. He was different from when he was in the palace, he was wearing a red robe at the moment, his expression was solemn, but he was solemn.

After a simple salute, Xiao Xiang lived in a courtyard specially prepared for nobles.

The courtyard and the Ganlu Hall cannot be compared, Xiao Xiang's eyes swept over, and he roughly estimated that the three rooms with the courtyard were only about one-fifth the size of the Ganlu Palace, but they were very refreshing. An ancient tree in the courtyard is towering, and the canopy covers half of the courtyard, and the sunlight shines through the gaps in the leaves, shining on the ground, flickering and dark, but like a little bit of broken gold.

Walking in, there are not many furnishings in the room, a table, a chair, a case, a few, and a bed.

It's almost cold.

A wooden statue of Guanyin was placed on the case, and incense burners, candlesticks, and wooden fish were placed in front of it. Although there is no incense, because this courtyard is in the temple, the whole room is filled with a faint sandalwood incense.

Xiao Xiang sat down on the chair, closed his eyes, and a strange sense of tranquility surged over his heart. All the negative emotions such as uneasiness and irritability for days disappeared in an instant.

No wonder people in movies and television like to worship the Buddha, it turns out that it has such an effect. She nodded, satisfied.

"Princess, what do you want?" Xixi, who had been following her all along, saw her sit still, so he asked for instructions.

Xiao Xiang felt that he was indeed a little hungry in his belly, he got up too early in the morning, he didn't eat anything, only put two pieces of hibiscus cake, and he ran all the way down, and his stomach was already empty.

She nodded and said softly, "What's there?" ”

If she had been exchanged for another maid, she would have already prepared her things, but in order to prevent someone from placing an informant by her side, she deliberately chose Xi Xi, a person who is not very bright, and she suffered a lot.

"The slave maid prepared the princess's favorite four-color snacks and chamomile tea for the princess in the morning, and the vegetarian food of Huichang Temple is second to none in Chang'an, what does the princess want to use?" Xi Xi's words were very fluent, and Xiao Xiang was a little surprised.

Where is she such a clever person?

Xiao Xiang couldn't help frowning slightly and raised his eyes to look at her. And under her gaze, Xi Xi's cheeks were flushed with red clouds, as if they had been pierced. Xiao Xiang took a deep breath and suddenly said sharply: "Who taught you this?!" ”

Since Xi Xi followed Xiao Xiang, Xiao Xiang has never lost his temper so much, and he is always smiling when he speaks, how could he be like this? She suddenly became angry, and Xi Xi was very frightened, and immediately her knees weakened and she fell to the ground: "Slave maid...... The slave maid ...... "She spouts, but she doesn't say who it is."

Xiao Xiang was suspicious, the reason why she chose Xi Xi as her personal maid was that she didn't want to be set up as an informant, if she was a Mo Wu, why did she bother?

Her eyes were fixed on Xi Xi, not leaving for a moment, and her expression became more and more condensed.

After all, Xi Xi is not like those palace maids who have been in the palace for a long time, she has just entered the palace and has not gone through such a formation. was stunned by Xiao Xiang's momentum, and finally said: "Yes...... Ordered by His Royal Highness King Wu. ”

King Wu? When Xiao Xiang heard these two words, his nerves couldn't help but relax, is it Li Ke?

No, she reacted quickly. It was a temporary decision to come to this Huichang Temple, and Li Ke went to the southern suburbs to worship a few days ago, how could he tell Xi Xi to say these words?

She became more and more annoyed, could it be that this habit was just pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger?
