My body was shaking and pitching up and down, like a small boat, helpless on the turbulent river.

My consciousness was hazy, always in a state of half-sleep and half-wakefulness, and my eyelids felt heavy.

Luo Xiaoran tried hard to keep her eyes open, but could not resist the effect of the drug and slowly fell asleep again.

When she woke up again, Luo Xiaoran realized that she was in a carriage. Her body felt soft and she had no strength at all.

Zhu Qiu sat next to her with a stern face and closed eyes, holding a sword in his hand.

"What's going on?" Luo Xiaoran asked her.

Zhu Qiu didn't say anything.

"Have I been kidnapped?"

Zhu Qiu continued to remain silent.

"Zhu Qiu?"

"Xiao Zhu?"

"Xiao Qiuqiu?"

Zhu Qiu: ...

Luo Xiaoran deliberately spoke in a pinched tone, her voice was teasing, sticky and slightly greasy.

Zhu Qiu's goosebumps crazily rose up because of Luo Xiaoran's voice and address. It seemed that he could no longer bear it and finally opened his eyes from pretending to sleep:

"What are your orders, Miss?"

"Where are we going?"

Zhu Qiu: ...

"Look, you're silent again!"

Zhu Qiu: ...

"I'm hungry."

Zhu Qiu: ...Zhu Qiu then took action, lifted the car curtain and went out.

Not long after, Zhu Qiu came back with a water bag and a piece of dry food:

"Miss, please be patient. This is all we have now. I will prepare a sumptuous meal for you after we are done with this."

It was as if all the strength in Luo Xiaoran's body had been drained away. It was difficult for her to even put her upper and lower lips together to speak: "Feed me!" she said.

Zhu Qiu seemed to understand Luo Xiaoran's feelings at the moment. Without saying anything, he broke off a small piece of dry food and slowly stuffed it into Luo Xiaoran's mouth.

Luo Xiaoran ate obediently, one piece at a time, and drank a few sips of water. She felt a little full, so she felt that some of her strength had been restored.

"Just tell me what you want to do, and I will cooperate! There's no need to make me so weak and powerless!" Luo Xiaoran asked tentatively again.

Zhu Qiu stopped talking again.

Come on!

Luo Xiaoran lay back like Ge You, without saying anything else, squinting her eyes and began to recuperate.

The destination was soon reached, and when Luo Xiaoran saw the century-old ginkgo tree, she immediately knew where this place was - Anruo Temple!

Under the ginkgo tree, Zhu Jingxing had handsome features, his black hair tied up in a crown, and he raised his head slightly, not knowing whether he was looking at the red marriage card or the golden ginkgo leaves.

He was still wearing a blue shirt today, with no extra accessories except for a jade hairpin for his hair and an ancient jade pendant hanging around his waist. However, the falling ginkgo leaves gave him the best outfit.

It feels so good!

Then Zhu Qiu supported the limp Luo Xiaoran and came under the ginkgo tree, directly destroying this classical and beautiful "Ginkgo Beauty Picture".

"Sir, the lady is here."

Zhu Qiu put Luo Xiaoran down and stepped back.

"If Lord Zhu wanted to see me, he could have just sent someone to greet me. Why did he drug me?"

At this moment, Luo Xiaoran only had enough strength to stand up and speak.

Zhu Jingxing stared at Luo Xiaoran's face quietly, as if he was in a trance, his eyes were as dark as ink, deep and difficult to understand.

"You are the ghost that has taken over Shu'er's body!"

Zhu Jingxing had been silent the whole time, but when he opened his mouth he uttered such a powerful exclamation that really scared Luo Xiaoran.

She is now completely exhausted and has basically lost the ability to resist.

If Zhu Jingxing did something in excitement, she would have a hard time protecting herself.

Luo Xiaoran decided to continue playing dumb and delay as long as possible. When the effect of the drug wore off, she would find a way to escape.

"Master Zhu, I have said it many times, I am not your sister, my name is Luo Xiaoran, is there any misunderstanding between us?"

Zhu Jingxing really didn't buy it. He shook his head, as if he was watching a child deliberately pretending to be stupid in front of adults.

Luo Xiaoran stopped talking, and the two of them just confronted each other quietly until a voice broke the deadlock.

"Master Zhu has come from afar, I really don't know what's the matter?"

Zhu Jingxing: ...

Luo Xiaoran: ...

Glancing at the shabby monk's robe, who else could it be but Master Huineng?

Zhu Jingxing put his hands together and bowed to Master Huineng: "Master, how are you?"

Huineng responded calmly and solemnly, and then his boiled egg-like head shook from side to side as if some kind of switch had been triggered:

"What's the matter? Tell me now. I need to go back to sleep, ahem, study Buddhist scriptures!"

Zhu Jingxing was not surprised at all, and still maintained a very respectful attitude, saying softly:

"This is my younger sister Zhu Jingshu. Master, please take a look at my fate."

Hearing this, Master Huineng's half-closed eyes opened up, and a ray of brilliance flashed by: "She is your sister. I have interpreted the fortune for her."

"Oh~ I don't know what my sister's fortune said..."

"Master Huineng!" Luo Xiaoran interrupted Zhu Jingxing, "I have no grudge against you, please stop talking nonsense!"

Luo Xiaoran's warning eyes were like two sharp iron arrows, piercing Huineng mercilessly.

Master Huineng's eyes widened, his gray beard trembled, and he jumped a meter away:

"What nonsense am I talking about! Your sister has the fate of a phoenix!"

Before the sharp arrow of his eyes pierced Master Huineng, it turned around and came back, dissipating and disappearing in Luo Xiaoran's contented state.

Master Huineng was quite sensible. Not only did he not reveal the fortune saying for that day, he also praised Luo Xiaoran a little, which really made her feel a little embarrassed.

Phoenix fate, isn’t this the fate of the so-called queen, princess, or princess consort?

Although Luo Xiaoran only planned to live a peaceful life in the countryside and had nothing to do with this so-called "Phoenix".

But every girl, when she hears that she has the fate of a phoenix, her heart will flutter!

Zhu Jingxing was also stunned for a moment by Master Huineng's words "Phoenix Fate", and his thoughts became a little scattered.

The current emperor already had a principal wife before he ascended the throne, who is now Queen Lin.

Speaking of Queen Lin, she also came from the Lin family, the first of the five major families.

Except for the Empress of Taizu, who was a commoner who married Taizu when he was young, the Empresses of Taizong, Huizong and Tianqi were all legitimate daughters of the Lin family.

It can be said that if the Lin family’s status as the first family remains unchanged, the future queen may still come from the Lin family.

Therefore, Zhu Jingxing was puzzled as to why his sister had the fate of a phoenix.

Moreover, it was obvious that the two people in front of him were hiding something from him. What exactly was the so-called fortune?

……

Luo Xiaoran was put on the carriage again, but the direction of the carriage was not Hexi Village.

After a long time, Zhu Jingxing got into the car. He stared at Luo Xiaoran's face and showed an unpredictable expression, which made Luo Xiaoran feel a little uneasy.
