In the early morning, the rained bluestone road was wet and cold, and the yellow fallen leaves covered it, and the wheels of the carriage ran over, leaving two shallow rut marks.

A carriage in the palace stopped outside the gate of the Hussar General's Mansion in Xingningfang, and when Mingluo stepped down from the car, a maid carefully held her arm: "The road is slippery after the rain, and the female envoy is careful to take care of her step." ”

Mingluo was noncommittal, and walked into the Chang Mansion with the maid and two internal eunuchs.

At this time, Chang Sui Ning was still performing martial arts, and when he heard the servant coming to pass the word, he learned that Mingluo had come to the house, and couldn't help asking: "Did you say why you came here?" ”

"It is only said that it came by the mouth of the saint, and the rest is not elaborated." The servant said: "The white butler is already in the front hall at this time, and he specially asked the villain to invite the girl over." ”

In the end, there is only a girl in the house now, who is the head of the family.

Chang Suining nodded and threw the bow in his hand to Ah Che: "I'll go back and change my clothes first." ”

The servant nodded hurriedly, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he was really afraid that the girl would be too casual, so he wore this robe and muddy boots.

In the front hall, after waiting for more than a quarter of an hour without seeing Chang Suining, the maid beside Mingluo frowned slightly: "Why hasn't the girl of your mansion arrived for a long time?" Chang Niangzi treats the saint's oracle like this, is she so lazy? ”

】

The last time Mingluo lost control of her emotions in the carriage, she still remembered that the maid knew that her daughter's history would not like Chang Sui, so she had the intention of being picky and blaming her for some reason.

"This aunt doesn't know, my girl has the habit of practicing every morning, and everyone is performing martial arts at such an hour on weekdays...... At this time, I heard that a saint had heard that the knives and guns were hurriedly thrown away, for fear of being rude, and they were busy going back to change their clothes. The white butler explained.

The maid's face was strange for a while, and the old man who was about to go to the ground called her aunt!

The white steward smiled enthusiastically - I heard that when I met the female envoys who came out of the palace, it was always right to shout aunt, and it was not strange to have many people.

"Hugh be rude." Mingluo reprimanded the maid loudly: "It was our sudden visit first, just wait patiently." ”

"Yes......" the maid bowed her head apprehensively.

At this time, Mingluo faintly saw a figure appear at the door of the hall, she turned her head to look, and saw that it was Chang Suining walking in.

The person who came walked into the hall and raised his hand to her: "Let Ming Nu Shi wait for a long time." ”

Mingluo looked at the girl, only to see that there was no trace of strange expression on the other party's face, as if the verbal conflict between the two in the carriage had not happened that day.

Mingluo also smiled slightly: "I am here today to invite Chang Niangzi and Chang Langjun to go to Dayun Temple to pray for General Chang and the rebellious soldiers. ”

Prays? Going to Dayun Temple?

Chang Suining's face did not move, but he had already subconsciously thought about it.

He said: "Unfortunately, my brother was tried to join the Xuan Ce Army not long ago, and now he is training in the Xuan Ce military camp, and he will come back in two days." ”

The Xuan Ce military camp is nearly 100 miles away from the capital, and even if he wants to call people back, it will be tomorrow at the earliest.

Mingluo: "In this case, I will temporarily ask Chang Niangzi to go to Dayun Temple with me." ”

When Chang Suining heard this, a trace of doubt arose in his heart, and he seemed to ask casually: "I don't know how long it will take to turn back?" ”

Mingluo said slowly: "The saint needs to pray for blessings in the Dayun Temple for three days this time. ”

Three-day ......

Chang Suining nodded: "In this way, Lao Nushi will sit here for a while, and let me go back and prepare for one or two." ”

Even if you have to stay in the temple for three days, you always have to prepare clothes and daily necessities.

Ming Luo bowed his head and watched Chang Sui Ning walk out of the front hall.

On the way back to the hospital, Chang Suining had already thought quickly.

It is reasonable to summon her, a daughter, to pray for her father who is fighting abroad, but she may not have thought much about it before, but recently......

Recently, she always thought of Cui Jing's tone and demeanor when she talked about the name "return date" when she went to Xuance Mansion to see the grenade that day.

Then, she repeatedly remembered the eyes that the Heavenly Mirror National Master stared at her during the Mid-Autumn Festival Flower Banquet, and the incomparably strong sense of being peeped at that time......

These two events gave birth to a guess in her mind.

Regarding her rebirth, because it is too incredible, she has always been classified as "unimaginable to ordinary people". She had thought that if she hadn't experienced it herself, if there was a "reborn" beside her, even if she sensed that something was wrong, she would probably only think that the other party had fallen into something evil or was pretending to be a ghost, and it would be impossible for her to think about resurrecting her soul......

But the feeling that Cui Jing and the Heavenly Mirror National Master gave her gradually made her feel that she was being seen through, or was about to be seen through.

But if the Tianjing National Master saw the clues from her face, then what was the basis for Cui Jing's suspicions?

Where she couldn't see, was there something she didn't know existed?

Because of this, she felt as if she had walked into a fog, and at this time, the sudden summons of the Empress of Ming pushed her deeper into the fog like a big hand.

Intuition told her that this trip to Dayun Temple might not be so simple.

But she couldn't help but go - the Empress Ming made Mingluo come here in person, so there was no room for her to refuse.

His Majesty the Emperor used to act like this, and after becoming the emperor, he is obviously even more so.

While Xi'er was busy packing up her clothes, Chang Suining came to the dresser, picked up an enamel bracelet casually, and put it on her wrist.

This ordinary-looking bracelet is actually hollow inside, hiding a sharp blade mechanism that can be used as a weapon to defeat the enemy by rotating it if necessary.

Chang Suining heard about this technique by chance from Shen Sanmao, she asked Shen Sanmao to draw a drawing, and turned her head to let Chang Jian find someone to create this bracelet.

When Shen Sanmao was drawing, he was still a little nervous and ashamed, saying that he would only ponder these crooked ways in the past, and he really couldn't get on the stage.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, the girl who took the drawings threw him a bag of heavy golden beans, saying that he should take it and let go of these crooked ways to study these crooked ways, the more crooked and evil the more she likes them, and don't send them to her if they are not evil.

Shen Sanmao didn't understand, but he was shocked and encouraged.

Since then, Chang Sui Ning has received some gadgets from him from time to time.

Including a small porcelain vase she picked up at this time.

Chang Suining hesitated for a moment, but still took the porcelain vase with him.

Even if she is suspicious, she is prepared.

After Chang Suining prepared everything, she got into the carriage in the palace with Mingluo - she originally planned to take the carriage in her own house, but Mingluo opened her mouth to invite, so she did not refuse.

This move, which seemed to have a sense of close surveillance, made Chang Suining's guess in his heart two points deeper.

But she didn't ask Mingluo much, and soon after getting into the carriage, she leaned against the wall of the carriage and closed her eyes to recuperate.

Mingluo looked at the girl who seemed to have fallen asleep with her eyes closed, and there was a flash of murder in her eyes.

If she could, she really wanted to get rid of the girl in front of her who had brought her countless changes, and completely eliminate future troubles.

Even with his eyes closed, Chang Suining, who had captured that trace of killing intent with his keen awareness forged on the battlefield, had no waves in his heart, and his eyelashes did not move.

At this time, even if the other party dared to do something to her, he did not have the ability to kill her, but would only lose his own life.

But the other party's sudden killing intent is worth thinking about for her.

The last time she was in the carriage, she hadn't noticed that Ming Luo had murderous intentions towards her, could it be that after this, what happened that prompted Ming Luo to become even more hostile to her, and regarded her as a threat that needed to be eliminated as soon as possible?

Will it be related to the current trip to Dayun Temple?

In order to restrain his fluctuating emotions, Mingluo looked away slightly and looked at the cyan curtain that swayed slightly as the carriage moved.

One of the two inner prisoners who accompanied him today was someone from my aunt's side.

My aunt wouldn't say those distracting words to her, but she was full of knocking reminders everywhere, which invisibly trapped her hands, feet, and thoughts.

She clearly remembered that her aunt had hinted to her a few years ago, her aunt was worried that Cui Jing would eventually fall to the scholar clan with the Xuan Ce Army, and her aunt hoped that she could get together with Cui Jing, and she would help her aunt control Cui Jing's variable, and her aunt would help her fulfill her wish to marry Cui Jing......

It was a tacit agreement between her and her aunt.

But that night at the hibiscus flower banquet, Cui Jing asked to marry Chang Suining, and she could clearly perceive that if Chang Suining nodded at that time, her aunt would definitely agree to give the marriage......

Cui Jing has become someone else's, even if that person else makes a gesture of refusal at this time!

Yes, of course, she knew that her aunt also had something to do, but her aunt clearly knew her thoughts, but after that incident, she didn't say a word about Cui Jing again, let alone words to appease her...... It's as if she's just a pawn that can be used and thrown aside if it's useless, and naturally doesn't need any explanation to appease a pawn.

This made her can't help but think, after Cui Jing is gone, what will be the next one to disappear from her hands?

If this Chang Sui Ning really "became" the eldest princess, would her aunt not hesitate to take back everything she had given her?

After all, now, my aunt doesn't even allow her to have the mind to keep her own things.

This ironic and suffocating feeling made Mingluo feel the urge to break free for the first time.

But she knew now that the more she tried to break free, the tighter the bond would become, until it would kill her mercilessly.

Not only can she not break free, but she even has to put down all her thoughts to deal with it carefully, and her aunt's reminder this time is also a test, if she is unfaithful and disobedient, what awaits her is a catastrophe.

My aunt wouldn't give her a chance to try and make mistakes.

Perhaps, in the eyes of my aunt, she is so easy to control.

It is precisely because she is easy enough to control that her aunt will keep her by her side over the years and choose to let her take care of the affairs of the Heavenly Maiden Tower - these trivial things cannot be done by the emperor himself, so it is very important to choose a person who is easy to control.

Mingluo was full of sarcasm.

But can the unrealistic delusion in the Heavenly Maiden Tower really come true?

All she could do was watch.

Then she'll just look at it.

Mingluo, who stayed awake all night last night and was suffocated and powerless in his heart, even looked at the girl with her eyes closed a little numb at the moment.

Although her surname is Ming, she was born to be bullied and tricked by fate, and she has never been favored by heaven...... I wonder who will providence take care of this time?

Chang Suining seemed to close his eyes and rest all the way, but in fact, he had imagined all the possibilities he could think of.

Soon, her vision was confirmed.

There are rules for entering the Dayun Temple, no matter who comes or what, they must first go to the Daxiong Treasure Hall to enter a stick of incense.

Chang Sui Ning entered the main hall, and when he left the temple in the morning, Mingluo, who had already come to the incense, was waiting on the side.

A young monk handed the incense to Chang Suining, and when Chang Suining took it, the monk folded his hands in front of him and made a Buddhist salute to her.

When Chang Sui Ning returned the salute, his eyes fell on the monk's hand and his heart was slightly shocked.

The monk's hands seem to be together, and the other fingers are together, but only the little finger of the right hand is downward.

In the past, when it was inconvenient to speak, it was necessary to use gestures to convey messages, and each hand indicated that it was different in different directions...... This is the code between her and Wu Ji and Chang Kuo.

Is this monk given endless instructions?

Endless ...... Already know who she is?!

Chang Suining's heart shook, his face did not show a bit, and after inserting the incense into the incense burner, he knelt down on the futon in front of him.

The monk stepped aside.

When Chang Suining knelt down, his hand that touched the ground silently probed under the futon, and soon touched a cold object.

She saw the thing clearly by the act of prostrating...... It is the Tianshi ring that Wu Yong often carried on his body in the past, which is said to be the treasure of his master's sect, taken from the flying stone outside the sky, containing mysterious power, and can be carried on the body to ward off disasters and overcome difficulties.

The monk's gesture signaled that she was looking down there, and that there was the Ring of Infinite Soul hidden underneath......

Did you really recognize her?

Why did you secretly give her this ring? Is it reminding her of something?

Chang Suining's heart was turbulent, and he slowly straightened up.

"Chang Niangzi is incense, please follow me to the Heavenly Maiden Tower, the saint and the infinite master have been waiting for Chang Niangzi to pray in the tower."

Chang Sui Ning silently clenched the ring, as if he was a little puzzled: "Heavenly Maiden Tower? ”

"Exactly." Mingluo said: "Although the Heavenly Maiden Tower easily does not allow ordinary people to enter, the sage said that this prayer is for the great cause of rebellion, and the stakes are very high, so he made an exception to allow Chang Niangzi to enter to pray for blessings." ”

In an instant, countless thoughts burst into Chang Suining's mind.

Including the strange feeling she had when she passed by the Heavenly Maiden Tower before and accidentally entered the battle.

The Heavenly Maiden Tower, which never allows outsiders to enter, made an exception for her at this time, is it really for the war in Yangzhou?

In other words, what is the purpose of that Heavenly Maiden Pagoda with strange formations?

Mingluo's voice sounded again: "Please come with me." ”

Chang Suining got up.

Before getting up, she put the ring back under the cover of her cloak and sleeves.

She couldn't take it.

If she takes it, it will be equivalent to admitting that she is Li Shang.

She wasn't sure who was doing the thing, if it was someone who was trying to test her, and she didn't dare and couldn't trust anyone until it was clear.

The more you are in the fog, the more cautious and vigilant you are.

At this moment, she only believes in herself.

Fortunately, she has always been responsible and attentive to every step she has to take, so she is worthy of her trust.

The girl bit down on the pill hidden behind her teeth, and the bitter and spicy sensation immediately filled her mouth and nose, and she exhaled slowly, looking leisurely ahead.

Take 10,000 steps back and say that her life is really in her own hands, at least she is willing, it is better to be at ease than to hand over her safety to others.

On the way to the Heavenly Maiden Tower, Chang Suining only felt that every step was in the sea of fog.

And her intuition tells her that the end of the fog is often the truth.

Perhaps, as long as she can get out of this fog, she will be able to see the truth.

Outside the tower courtyard, Ming Luo looked at Chang Suining, who stopped slightly: "Chang Niangzi, please." ”
