Xu Yanshi took out a new set of clothes from the cubicle and handed it to Jiang Yan.

"Goddess, the blood-stained clothes are uncomfortable to wear, this is what I bought more at the right time, if the goddess doesn't dislike it, let's wear this set first."

has already received good intentions, This set of dresses, Jiang Wu did not refuse.

After handing her the clothes, Xu Yanshi got out of the carriage.

Morning Lotus on the side opened the package handed over by Xu Yan when she opened it, and it was a scarlet color, which was lighter than the spring day. Morning Lotus took out all the contents of the package and found that there was not only a crimson dress, but also a gardenia-colored purse.

The purse looked bulging and even contained silver coins.

Chenlian looked at the young lady and saw that she was already in a daze, and looked at the bloodstains on her body, and she probably guessed something. The curtain was not closed, and she saw through the crack the prison where the fire burned at the door.

"Miss, change your clothes."

As she spoke, she closed the curtains from the inside and lowered the curtains on both sides.

Jiang Wu was stunned and took the dress from Chenlian's hand.

After the change, Chenlian lifted the curtain: "Young Master Xu, get in the carriage." ”

Xu Yanshi was originally not far away, and when he heard this, he turned around and walked towards the carriage. But when he got to the carriage, he pointed to a carriage not far away and said with a smile.

"The goddess will enter the city first, and in half an hour, I will have to deliver meals to the son of the Chen family. The man was arrested two days ago for beating someone on the street, and the family didn't want to lose this face, so I paid the ransom. There is no way, the ransom has been paid, and it is not good to put him in prison for these two days. ”

Jiang Wu also lifted the curtain and said softly: "Thank you." ”

She looked at his side, for some reason, a prince, and there was not even a personal little eunuch by his side. But the last time she was on that ship, she remembered that there was obviously a little eunuch by his side.

But she didn't want to ask much about such things. She was already thinking about many things in her heart, and after Xu Yan responded, she lowered the curtain.

Chen Lian took a deep look at the place where Xu Yan was, and also lowered the curtain.

The groom was instructed a word or two and began to drive.

In the sound of horses' hooves on the ground, Xu Yanshi looked at the carriage that was gradually moving away, until the carriage dissipated around the corner, and he did not look away.

Shi was in prison, but he still couldn't hold back, turned around and glanced into the cell.

He couldn't describe that look.

But it seemed that with that glance, he knew—

If this world is just a script, his goddess has another hero.

In a trance, he remembered the last words the little eunuch had said to him. At that time, they walked among the mountains and forests, and the little eunuch wanted to speak several times.

He grew up with the little eunuch since he was a child, how can he not understand that the little eunuch has something to say. It's just that he tilted his head sideways, admiring the appearance of the little eunuch who wanted to say but couldn't say it, and couldn't help laughing when he saw that the little eunuch was blushing.

Seeing that he was so unserious, the little eunuch blushed directly.

Only this time, not ashamed, but angry.

He immediately stopped laughing, but he still couldn't help it, but he was also curious about what made the little eunuch hesitate.

He still looked at the little eunuch as usual, just like when he was a child, he asked the little eunuch to take him to dig a dog hole to find food. The little eunuch looked at him, and finally his face faded from embarrassment or anger, and he sighed.

"Your Highness, there is no goddess in the world. I know that Your Highness, you are going to talk about the eunuch from your childhood, and that eunuch said those things about the 'goddess' at that time, just to deceive you about the snacks in your hand. ”

The little eunuch's tone had never been so serious, but Xu Yanshi didn't care too much.

He thought of his goddess, of every time he could meet her in the most life-or-death moments. He told himself that there were goddesses in the world.

If she wasn't a goddess, how could he, a gentleman who wasn't even moved by the Qinglou, blush and heartbeat when he saw her.

The little eunuch saw that he didn't listen, so he couldn't help but break it directly.

"Your Highness, if you like Miss Jiang San, you should tell her. If you are also in love at that time, Your Highness, you will go to your majesty to ask for a marriage contract, ask for a fiefdom, even if the mountains and rivers are far away, as long as you can leave Chang'an safely with Miss Jiang San, you will be happy for a lifetime. ”

He was originally drinking water in a bamboo tube, but when he heard this, he directly choked and blushed.

Later, before he could 'quibble' with the little eunuch about anything, the imperial brother came. He looked at the majestic guard behind the imperial brother, and his red face and red heart turned cold because of a 'like'.

Just like at this time, outside the prison, Xu Yanshi looked at the imperial brother not far away, and his eyes were stunned for a long time.

He didn't know what he was thinking, maybe it was the lamp he had knocked down when he saw the young man embracing the girl.

It turns out that between the same goddess, that is like.

It turned out that the 'goddess' he called was hidden in his liking. It's just like, some too late. He didn't back down, and let the people behind the imperial brother come up and take him away.

He knew that if he dared to get involved in the affairs between the imperial brother and the prime minister, the imperial brother would definitely not be able to spare him.

But his goddess's eyes were red.

He thought again, the little eunuch was dead, what could the imperial brother do to him? It's just some beatings, just some punishments, beatings and punishments, these are just the most ordinary things in his life.

How can it be compared to the sorrow of the goddess.

The left and right royal brothers will not want his life. From the moment he was born, from the moment his mother had a difficult birth, he was the best pawn in the hands of his father and brother.

Who of them would be willing to lose such a useful chess piece from him so quickly.

After all, they have a deep father-son relationship.

This is so rare in the royal family. My father has been dragging his sick body all his life, planning the throne for his brother, and even sparing his life after killing his mother, just to let there be one more prince in the world, so that he can use this useless prince to be the whetstone of the royal brother.

Thinking like this, Xu Yanshi had a smile on his face again.

A stick swung at him from behind him, and he must have been a skilled veteran, for with only one stick he fainted. The moment he lost consciousness, Xu Yanshi was just thinking that this time the people under the imperial brother were heavier than before.

*

The other side.

The carriage did not return to Jiang's house, and went out of the city directly.

Jiang Wu lowered her eyes, and a book in her hand had not been opened for a long time. An inexplicable uneasiness crept through her, and she didn't even know why she turned to look back and say that.

"Thank you for being late, you can't lie to me."

She looked at her white hands, but she only thought that the young man lowered his eyes and used his relatively clean clothes. Little by little, the blood on her palms was wiped away.

She looked at him at that time, and in the dim candlelight, she couldn't see the look in his eyes.

But it always made her feel like she was in a rain.

Violent, impatient, depressing.

All these things, which were completely different from him, bloomed little by little in his beautiful eyes.

She couldn't help but look up at the sky, it should have been a dark and dreary patch, but when she looked at it, there were only large patches of bright sunshine.

She was stunned for a long time, unable to suppress the trepidation in her heart.

It's like, just a little, just a little, and she's going to be overwhelmed by the rain.

This feeling of hard breathing is not the same as before. Sometimes she even thinks that this rain should not fall, but when she looks at him, she seems to know that this is a rain that cannot fall.

She closed the book in her hand and whispered, "Chenlian, let the groom be faster." ”

Chenlian answered, lifted the curtain and said a word or two to the groom. After talking, Chenlian looked at the young lady beside her: "There may be some bumps, young lady pay attention." ”

Jiang Wu nodded lightly.

The carriage was fast, but because it had rained before, it was also dusk, and it was not until the end of the day that I arrived at the Yuanshan Temple.

When I got out of the carriage, a monk had already come up to greet him.

"Amitabha, donor, it's already late today, why don't the little monk arrange a squatter room for the young lady first, what will the young lady do tomorrow."

Although he didn't say it, the little monk already regarded Jiang Wu as a noble lady who came to ask for marriage.

I have seen a lot in the temple, and the long scarlet dress on this young lady is very valuable. What's more, this young lady's full bearing, that is, it is not an exaggeration to say that she is a lady.

Jiang Wu shook her head and said softly, "May I ask Master, where is the abbot?" ”

The little monk hurriedly said: "Today's abbot's marriage sign has been requested, Miss Ruo-"

This was probably the first time that Jiang Wu interrupted the conversation of others, because it was really not polite, she said softly but firmly: "It's not for marriage, it's something important, please ask the little master to take me to meet me." ”

The little monk was stunned, but he knew where the abbot was, and in the past few days, he has pushed all the marriage lots, and recites the scriptures in the bamboo forest every day.

It's just that he looked at the monk on the side, and he didn't know if he could take this young lady there.

Seeing that the little monk didn't know what to do, the monk on the side looked at Jiang Wu and hesitated for a moment, but quickly said, "Donor come with me." ”

Jiang Wu breathed a sigh of relief and said softly, "Thank you, Master." ”

The monk in plain clothes shook his head: "The host has been in the bamboo forest in the back mountain for the past few days, if the donor comes to ask for a marriage sign, the abbot will not count it with the donor." If the donor has something to do, and bring the donor over, it is just a matter of hand for us. It's just that the host hasn't been in good health recently, and the donor will know when he sees it. ”

Jiang Wu was stunned for a moment, and her thoughts stayed on the 'bamboo forest' that the monk said.

There is only one bamboo forest in Enzanji Temple.

It was the piece where Xie Yuwan was looking for pear wine at the beginning, and it was also the piece where he asked her to find the abbot to recite the scriptures today.

Along the way, the monk did not speak again, only occasionally reminded him when the mountain road was steep. Chenlian was supporting her on the side, it had just rained, and the mountain road was not easy to walk, and they were not walking fast.

After walking for a long time, she was looking down at the road under her feet when she heard the sound of reciting scriptures.

Suddenly, she seemed to realize something.

When I looked up, I saw a withered yellow bamboo forest. It just rained, and the summer sun shone on the bamboo forest, but it didn't reflect any vitality.

CHAPTER XXXV

The monk was still walking in front, and she was stunned for a moment, and then followed.

In front of the bamboo forest, the sound of reciting scriptures became clearer. She looked at the withered yellow patch in front of her, and remembered that when Morning Lotus told her about this bamboo forest in the past, it was still lush and green, and she could dig up spring bamboo shoots.

She stood behind the monks who were reciting the scriptures, and she closed her eyes as she listened to the sound of the Buddha.

After a long time, about an hour, the abbot stopped.

Almost the moment the Buddha sound stopped, Jiang Wu raised her eyes, she looked at the abbot in front of her, her eyebrows frowned slightly.

But half a month, why does the abbot seem to be dozens of years old. Now just looking at the wrinkles on the host's face, it has lined the abbot like an old man who is past his prime.

Jiang Wu didn't ask such an unruly question, but just saluted first.

The abbot asked the monk to bring down the other monks who were chanting, and said in an old voice: "The donor doesn't need to be polite, come with me." ”
