A dream ends life

Su Ci was also holding the invitation and thinking.

Wu Peiyi wants her to enter the palace again. Is it an assassin this time, or is he using different tricks?

Last time with Gong Yan, she lost half her life and a child. This time, I’m afraid she won’t let herself walk out of the palace alive.

But what if she doesn't want to die?

Not only do I not want to die, I would rather let them die!

After sitting there for a while, he stood up and walked out.

Mei Yizhin was speechless as she watched the master and servant running out under the scorching sun.

As soon as she was able to get out of bed, she ran around. This woman is really courting death.

Su Ci didn't waste words. Seeing her, he said straight to the point: "Find me a maid with good martial arts skills."

Mei Yizhen's fat face twisted, "Where can I find it for you? I don't know any martial arts masters."

Su Ci: "You name the price!"

"Haha! Tell me your criteria." Mei's face changed in a second.

Su Ci: "You need to be thoughtful and skilled in martial arts. You need to be able to save my life at a critical moment, and it would be best if you know some pharmacology."

Mei Yizhen: "What are you going to do?"

Why is he so picky in finding someone? She was so curious!

Su Ci simply said, "Enter the palace!"

Mei Yizhin's eyes lit up, no wonder.

"When do you want someone?" Mei said.

"Of course, the sooner the better." Even if she finds someone, she still has to evaluate him. If he doesn't suit her needs, she won't accept him.

Mei Yizhen said, "I'll bring someone to take a look at it for you tonight."

Su Ci nodded. It was very satisfying to use money to pave the way. If the problem could be solved with money, why waste favors?

She believed that Mei Yizhen would find a suitable candidate for her.

"Amitabha! I hope you are well, benefactor!"

The old monk was sitting in the shade of a tree enjoying the cool breeze and saw Su Ci chanting the Buddha's name.

Su Ci walked closer and said, "How is the master's leg recovering?"

"I am fine now. Thank you for your help."

At this time, the little monk came running over, panting, with a bowl of sweet mung bean soup in his hand.

"Master, please drink something to cool down."

The old monk nodded slightly, took the mung bean sweet soup, and touched the young monk's head again.

Su Ci: "Why don't you drink, young master?"

The little monk shook his head. He didn’t like sweets.

Su Ci: "Master, how come the young master became a monk at such a young age?"

There are many monks in Xiangguo Temple, and this is the only one she has seen at such a young age.

The old monk drank the sweet soup and said slowly, "I picked up this child at the gate of the temple and kept him by my side. He was about three years old at that time. Now he is six years old."

Su Ci glanced at the little monk, and was relieved that the little monk did not look sad at all.

He smiled at the little monk and said, "You became a monk at the age of three. You are the youngest monk I have ever seen!"

The little monk laughed, he didn't remember his parents or relatives at all, it was his master who raised him, so he wasn't very sad without his parents.

The old monk said, "He has not left home, nor has he been given a title, so he is not considered a monk in the temple. When he grows up, he can marry and have children."

Su Ci was really shocked this time. He didn't expect the old monk to be so kind that he even planned for the child's future and left a way out for the child.

"Master, you are so compassionate. I admire you deeply."

"Amitabha!"

Su Ci calmed down when she saw the old and the young living in harmony.

The little monk was too thin, and his thin wrists were exposed under his wide robe. One was worried that they would be accidentally broken.

Su Ci suddenly had an idea. The little monk is not a monk. Since he is not a monk, he should be able to eat meat!

Just when I was about to call Chunshui, Dongliu came in quickly.

"Madam, Mr. Bai from Baishun Grain Store is drinking tea in Lingmingxuan." Dongliu reported softly.

Su Ci nodded, stood up and walked out. When he was about to leave, he turned around and said, "Master, I'll take my leave first."

The old monk began to chant the Buddha's name again.

The carriage arrived outside Lingmingxuan, and Su Ci was the first to enter the teahouse.

He went straight upstairs and stopped at the door of a private room.

Dongliu knocked on the door gently a few times and the door was opened from the inside.

A middle-aged man was sitting inside, sipping tea leisurely. He was of medium build and had a fair complexion. He was wearing a long blue cotton gown that gave him a cool feeling.

The man raised his eyes and looked at Su Ci.

Su Ci was dressed very simply today. She hated the summer and couldn't stand sweating profusely, so her favorite clothes were fine cotton.

No matter how good the gauze or satin is, it is not as absorbent and breathable as fine cotton.

The upper body is made of rose-red fine cotton cloth, with narrow sleeves, a waist-length high-slit and slanted collar. The lower body is a horse-faced skirt with a black base. The small flowers embroidered with red thread go from sparse to dense from top to bottom. It is simple yet not simplistic.

The whole outfit is eye-catching. These clothes were specially designed and made for her, and they are much lighter than those cumbersome and difficult-to-wear gauze skirts.

The middle-aged man was surprised for a moment when he saw that it was a woman with extraordinary temperament and beautiful appearance.

"Can I ask Mr. Bai for a cup of tea?" a crisp voice sounded.

Boss Bai raised his eyebrows, raised his hand to invite her to sit down, and personally poured her a cup of tea and placed it in front of Su Ci.

"Thank you!" said Su Ci.

His jade-like fingers stroked the rim of the cup, but he didn't drink.

Dongliu saw that Mr. Bai asked Su Ci to sit down, and knew that the matter should be able to be settled. He knew his wife's ability, and as long as the other party did not refuse directly, he would have an 80% chance of success.

Sure enough, half an hour later, Mr. Bai and Su Ci walked out of the room side by side, both of them smiling and looking like they were having a very pleasant conversation.

"We were in a hurry today, so please forgive me for any impoliteness. I will invite Madam Su to make tea and have a chat another day." Mr. Bai clasped his fists.

Su Ci: "I came here uninvited today, so why should I apologize to Master Bai? Even if we make tea some other day, it should be my treat, Master Bai can't snatch it from me."

Boss Bai laughed and nodded, "That's settled then. Madam Su is treating us, so I have to pay a bit more! I will take my leave today!"

Su Ci bowed and watched Bai Dongjia leave.

"Let's go too!" He turned and said to Dongliu and Chunshui.

The three of them walked towards the stairs.

"Mrs. Yu, please stay," a female voice sounded from behind.

Su Ci turned around and saw the person coming, raised her eyebrows and bowed to her.

The woman quickly dodged: "Madam Yu, please excuse me," and held up Su Ci's hands with both hands.

"Miss, I have done you a favor, so why not accept my gift?"

The woman in red shook her head. "Madam has saved my life before. Compared to that, I just did a small favor."

Su Ci did not respond: "Miss, is there something wrong?"

The girl in red said, "My master wants to see you, Madam Yu, please follow me."

Su Ci: "Please lead the way, young lady."

The woman in red walked in front first. Su Ci asked Dongliu and Chunshui to wait in the corridor and followed her.

He walked all the way to the door at the innermost room before stopping.

The woman in red opened the door and invited Su Ci in. Su Ci saw a man and a woman sitting opposite each other by the window.

The man is handsome, with a cool breeze and bright moon; the woman is noble and dignified, with an air of elegance!
