"Princess, do you know who is in the Huangjue Temple over the hill?" Ruyi asked mysteriously after coming back after wandering around outside.

"Who is it?" Mother Hu asked first, "It's either a concubine or a princess."

Ruyi shook her head.

"It can't be the Emperor, can it?"

Ruyi continued to shake her head.

Gu Zhiyin didn't say anything, but looked at her curiously.

Ruyi didn't keep the secret any longer and said, "It's the Queen Mother."

Gu Zhiyin asked in surprise: "Empress Dowager?"

"It's absolutely true." Ruyi replied affirmatively: "Many noble ladies in Puning Temple are discussing that the Queen Mother went to Huangjue Temple three days ago. After learning about it, many ladies wanted to go to pay their respects to the Queen Mother and show their faces in front of her. However, the entire Huangjue Temple was surrounded by the Imperial Guards. Without the Queen Mother's summons, the ladies could not enter at all and had to return empty-handed."

"I heard that the Queen Mother hasn't left the palace for more than ten years. This time she went to Huangjue Temple to pray and recite scriptures for the late emperor because she dreamed of him."

Gu Zhiyin had a vegetarian meal at Puning Temple at noon, and then left in a carriage.

Ever since Zhu Qi came into being, Gu Zhiyin no longer needed a servant to drive the carriage whenever he took her with him whenever he went out of the house.

Today, she only brought Mother Hu, Ruyi and Zhuqi with her.

Zhu Qi sat in the front driving the carriage. Although the mountain road was steep, it was very flat and the carriage was running very steadily.

However, not long after, there was a clang and Zhu Qi urgently pulled the reins to stop the horse.

Ruyi covered her red forehead with her hands, lifted the car curtain and walked out. Looking at the familiar scene, the corners of her mouth twitched rapidly.

At the front of the carriage, an old lady in plain clothes fell to the ground, unconscious.

Thinking back to a few months ago, this scene happened on the street. She and the Princess were also sitting in a carriage and bumped into Leng Moqiu, who is still living on the farm now.

OMG!

What kind of luck does her princess have?

Ruyi swallowed her saliva and said to the car: "Princess, I hit someone again, an old lady, what should I do?"

Not to mention Ruyi was speechless, Gu Zhiyin herself was also confused.

She was stunned for a moment and got off the carriage.

Zhu Qi squatted beside the old lady and gently touched her hands and feet to make sure that the bones were not broken.

"I deserve to die. Please punish me, Princess." Zhu Qi said self-reproachfully when she saw Gu Zhiyin coming over.

Gu Zhiyin patted her shoulder and laughed, "What are you talking about? Accidents are not something you can control."

"How are people?"

Zhu Qi's expression was moved, and he replied: "The bones are not broken, but the person fainted. We don't know the reason yet."

"Did you hit your head?" Ruyi exclaimed.

Zhu Qi stared and recalled the scene just now. Although the old lady appeared suddenly, she pulled the reins quickly: "I am sure I didn't hit her head."

The old lady had a head of graying silver hair. Although her eyes were tightly closed, she still had the aura of a superior even in her coma. She didn't look like an ordinary old lady from a farming family. Gu Zhiyin looked at the old lady and suddenly felt an indescribable sense of closeness in his heart.

Have I seen her before?

But when I have seen him before, I feel that he looks familiar at most. Why is there this sense of closeness?

I don't know how I ended up here alone.

Maybe he got separated from his family.

His face was dusty and dishevelled, and his clothes were torn.

"Help the person onto the carriage first." Gu Zhiyin said.

Ruyi went forward to help the old lady, but saw Zhuqi bending down, putting his hands under her armpits, and picking her up horizontally.

Ruyi was shocked: "..."

Who am I and where am I?

How can you be so strong as a girl?

Zhu Qi carried the old lady into the carriage and started driving again.

"Princess, shall we go back home directly?" asked Mother Hu.

Gu Zhiyin glanced at the unconscious old lady, thought for a moment, and said, "Let's go to the farm."

Coincidentally, the nearest farm is the one where Leng Moqiu lives.

Not long after the carriage left, a group of men in black came running over. At that time, the road was empty and there was no one in sight.

The leader looked around and pointed to the dense forest on the side and said, "She is too conspicuous to walk on the main road alone. Let's search in the forest."

After saying that, he plunged into the woods with the people behind him.

Gu Zhiyin hadn't seen Leng Moqiu for a long time. Firstly, he was a stranger and it was not convenient for her to come to the manor to see him all the time. She usually asked Ruyi to come and bring him things. Secondly, she wanted him to study here with peace of mind.

It was Zhu Qi who once again carried the old lady down from the carriage and into the house.

Mother Hu ordered Zhuangzi's servants to drive the carriage to the city to ask for a doctor.

The old lady's clothes were too torn, so Gu Zhiyin asked Mother Hu to find a clean piece of clothing for her to change.

"And check if she has any other injuries."

Mother Hu responded and helped Ruyi change her clothes. There were no major wounds, just a few bruises at most. Mother Hu asked Zhuangzi's servant for ointment, applied it to the old lady, and then wiped her face clean.

Half an hour later, the doctor came.

After checking his pulse, we found that he had a brain injury and blood stasis which led to his coma.

Zhu Qi frowned: "It shouldn't be like this."

"Maybe he was injured before." Gu Zhiyin said.

The doctor walked forward and carefully examined the old lady's head. Then he parted her hair and found a lump on the left side of her head.

"It seems like she was hit by something, but luckily there is no bleeding." As he said that, the doctor opened the medicine box, took out a set of silver needles, and gently pricked the old lady's head.

Gu Zhiyin's breathing even became lighter, and she didn't dare to hit Doctor Rao.

An hour later, the doctor removed the needle, left the prescription and instructions, and left.

Mother Hu gave the doctor money for the rash and asked someone to send the doctor back to the clinic.

After all this trouble, it was almost evening.

"Princess, it's getting late. You should go back home first. I will stay here to take care of her." Mother Hu suggested.

Gu Zhiyin: "Okay, I'll come again tomorrow."

The old lady woke up in the middle of the night. Mother Hu had been guarding beside her. She was surprised to see her wake up.

"Madam, you're awake." Without waiting for the old lady to respond, Mother Hu said, "The medicine has been simmering in the stove. Wait a minute, I'll bring it to you."

After that, he left without looking back.

The old lady couldn't help but stare: "..."

At least I helped her up. Don't you have any tact?

She tried to sit up, but as soon as she moved her head started to ache and her whole body felt as if it had been run over by a car wheel.

So he gave up and looked at the ceiling of the tent with an expressionless face. It was unknown what he was thinking about, but two intimidating rays of light shot out of his bright eyes.

Soon, Mother Hu came in with a bowl of medicine and said with a smile, "Old lady, take your medicine."

The choking smell of medicine hit the old lady's face. Her expression froze and she immediately turned over with her back to Mother Hu. Her whole body showed that she refused to take the medicine.
