Chapter 238: Burning the Plum Temple
Words that hide deep meaning.
Su Wen's eyes moved slightly, and Shen Miaoyan walked to the back of the room screen, "The hot water is ready, it's really thoughtful." Su asked, I'll take a shower first. ”
Su asked yes, and stood by the window, monitoring the courtyard downstairs.
Shen Miaoyan came out after washing, but she was still wearing the same clothes as during the day.
She took two black cloaks from the cage and handed one to Su Wen, "Let's go sleep outside tonight." ”
As he spoke, he calmly put on his cloak and hood with him.
Su Wen looked at her quietly, and unconsciously, Miss She seemed to have grown up a lot.
She retracted her gaze, followed by the cloak and the master and servant quietly descended the wooden building.
Shen Miaoyan stood under the eaves, looked around the black and swarthy, and finally fell on the big tree in the courtyard, she was secretly followed by Ye Han, Empress Dowager Xu, they should not have the opportunity to send someone to monitor her.
Thinking of this, she calmly took Su Wen, walked out of the courtyard, and went all the way to the backyard of the temple.
She remembers passing by the backyard during the day, where there was a row of side rooms for pilgrims.
It was probably because the Queen Mother arrived, and there were no pilgrims in the temple, so these rooms were empty, Shen Miaoyan picked a room casually, took Su Wen to live in, and began to cook tea by himself.
She knelt in front of the fire, the white skirt in the cloak was on the ground, and she held a small fan to fan the fire gently: "The night is long, and the mountains and moons are just right." Su asked, don't fall asleep, I'm going to watch the play later. ”
Su Wen came over with two washed cups, "The slave will accompany the young lady." ”
As he was talking, the window was opened, and Ye Han jumped in and took out two lotus leaf bags from his arms: "Came from the host room." ”
The two peeled off the lotus leaves, and there was roast chicken wrapped in them.
"It smells so good!" Shen Miaoyan tore off a chicken leg, took a big bite, and said with a smile, "It is said that those who practice have to be vegetarians, and that host is planning to wear wine and meat through the intestines, does the Buddha stay in his heart?" ”
Ye Han and Su Wen both laughed, and Ye Han also wanted to eat, so he reached out to grab Su Wen's chicken legs. Su Wen didn't give it, and patted the back of his hand with a straight face, and he retracted his hand with a pitiful face.
Su asked him a blank look, and finally took a knife to cut the whole roast chicken in half and gave him half of it.
Shen Miaoyan nibbled on the roast chicken, looking at the two of them noisy, and there was a little more ridicule in his crooked eyebrows.
The three of them shared the roast chicken, drank hot tea, and then sat cross-legged on the mat and listened to Su Wen tell her master's previous story.
While he was having fun, there was a sudden sound of noisy footsteps outside, followed by someone shouting "on fire".
Shen Miaoyan pushed open the window and looked into the distance, in the direction of the small wooden building, the firelight was everywhere, almost illuminating half of the night sky.
Sure enough, there were so many candles in that wooden building, and the wood was so dry, it was specially designed to burn her.
She could see clearly, countless nuns outside were running back and forth, but none of them carried buckets.
Thinking about it, Empress Dowager Xu had already ordered her to go down and not allow anyone to save her.
She jumped off the soft couch, put on her hood, and looked at Ye Han: "How many people did the national teacher send to follow secretly?" ”
Ye Han was stunned for a moment, and surprise flashed in his eyes, "How did Miss know that the master had sent other secret guards?" ”
"Although I can't understand your master's temperament, there is no doubt that he cares about me." Shen Miaoyan said casually, "You take those secret guards, get some fire oil or something, and go and burn down Chu Zhen and Bai Jue'er's yard." ”
Ye Han and Su Wen listened, and were stunned at the same time.
Seeing the two of them react like this, Shen Miaoyan couldn't help but raise her eyebrows: "They want my life, but I can't fight back?" ”
The two came back to their senses, and Ye Han hurriedly said, "My subordinates will do it!" ”
As he spoke, he hurried out of the window.
Shen Miaoyan tapped her fingertips on the table, the shouts outside shook the sky, and she did a great job of fighting the fire, but in fact, no one would save her.
Naturally, she didn't need them to save her.
While everyone's attention was on that wooden building, it was just right for her to act secretly.
Empress Dowager Xu is ruthless and wants to burn her alive with a fire, so don't blame her for using this as a springboard to do what she wants.
The clear moonlight poured in from the carved window, making her little face white and clean.
The crow-like eyelashes drooped, and the amber eyes were bottomless, and I didn't know what was brewing.
Su Wen sat beside her and accompanied her silently.
I don't know how long it took, Ye Han hurriedly came in from outside, "Miss, it's done!" I just don't know, how it turned out! ”
Shen Miaoyan got up, as if she was afraid of the cold, and wrapped her cloak tightly, "Go out and take a look." ”
Ye Han disappeared into the darkness, Su Wen followed her out of here, passed through several moon gates, and there was indeed a fire in the courtyard of Chu Zhen and Bai Jue'er.
However, those nuns, palace maids, and guards were all surrounding the remote small wooden building at this time, and they wanted to rush back for a while, where was it so easy.
Shen Miaoyan quietly watched the firelight illuminate the night, and the air splattered with sparks, like fire butterflies fluttering their wings.
Tongues of fire swept through the night, gradually engulfing both courtyards.
Su Wen subconsciously looked at Shen Miaoyan's face, but because of the hood, he couldn't see her eyes clearly.
However, the corners of his lips reflected in the firelight showed no smile.
A thirteen-year-old girl, setting up such a conspiracy to take people's lives, should be in a heavy mood, right?
At this time, the inside of the burning house.
Chu Zhen was lying on the ground, her face dirty, desperately trying to climb out.
obviously asked the queen mother to kill Shen Miaoyan, why did the fire burn her house? !
Her face was twisted with anger and fear, and tongues of fire rolled up the hem of her skirt, causing her to roll on the ground in panic.
Behind her, Li Qian sat on the bed, disheveled.
Chu Zhen turned his head abruptly and pulled his hoarse voice, "Li Qian, what are you doing there?!" Don't take this princess out yet! ”
Li Qian sat upright, raised his hand, and slowly buttoned up his clothes.
He didn't have any expression, only said lightly: "Princess, I came from a humble background, and before entering the palace, I thought about how glorious it was to be able to defend that palace. But unexpectedly, I was assigned to your side. ”
He buttoned the buckle, lowered his eyes, and on his handsome face, there was a firelight jumping: "The princess regards human life as a mustard, and in the Hehuan Palace, many of my brothers were killed with a cane because they did not serve the princess well. I was also asked by the princess to defile an innocent little girl. ”
"When I was a child, I just wanted to defend my family and country and become a hero. But because of a master like you, I even died in humiliation in the nunnery......"
"The horse leather shroud, throwing his head and spilling blood on the battlefield covered with yellow sand, for me, is a luxury......"
Li Qian said slowly, letting the flames burn from his feet, "That being the case, it is better for me to do the last right thing before I die......
