Poisonous Pet World: The War King's Heart-stealing Medical Concubine

Chapter 10 The Pedestrians Arrive at Yuchan Temple

In the carriage, Xiaolu stood by the window, looking outside, looking very excited.

Murong Zixi, however, remained calm, with her eyes tightly closed.

Xiaolu gently turned her head to look at her eldest daughter and muttered in a low voice: "Miss, you always yearned for the outside world in the past. Even if the master strictly forbade you to go out, you always tried your best to sneak out. But now that we are really out, you seem so calm. Why is that? Didn't the eldest daughter get enough rest last night?" Her voice was full of puzzlement and confusion.

Xiao Cui, who was standing by, heard Xiao Lu's muttering. She gently nudged Xiao Lu with her elbow, signaling her not to say anything more. She glared at Xiao Lu, with a bit of reproach in her voice: "Xiao Lu, how can you be so rude? The young lady has her own ideas now. Besides, the young lady is no longer the little girl who is full of curiosity and love to play about the outside world. She has grown up, and naturally she will not be the same as before."

Xiaolu closed her mouth after hearing this and continued to look outside.

At this moment, Murong Zixi slowly opened her eyes. She looked at the two girls in front of her, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "Want freedom?" Her voice was soft and firm, as if it could penetrate people's hearts.

The two girls looked at her with puzzled expressions on their faces. They didn't understand the deep meaning of the eldest lady's words.

Murong Zixi lazily supported her chin and continued, "After we leave the general's mansion, let's go out and explore together, okay?" Taking these two girls with him to explore the world might be quite fun.

Upon hearing this, Xiaolu opened her mouth in surprise: "Ah? Miss, you said to leave the General's Mansion? What does that mean?" Her voice was full of disbelief and shock.

Murong Zixi smiled faintly: "It means exactly what it says. In the general's mansion, no one is really kind to your young lady. Do I have to stay here any longer?"

Xiaolu frowned, then relaxed her brows: "But, but the General's Mansion is the eldest lady's home. Where can we go if we leave the General's Mansion? Oh, by the way, is the eldest lady ready to return to the Loyalty Marquis Mansion?" There was a hint of anticipation and uneasiness in her voice.

Murong Zixi shook her head gently: "No, when I say leaving the General's Mansion, I mean traveling the world, making the world my home, and being free." Her voice was full of determination and yearning.

At this time, Murong Zixi didn't know that praying in the temple would lead her to meet a person who would entangle her for the rest of her life, and she was still yearning for freedom.

Xiao Cui and Xiao Lu looked at each other in surprise when they heard this. They had never thought that the eldest lady would have such an idea.

Xiao Cui had a bitter face and said, "Miss, the outside world is not as good as we imagined. We are women and unarmed. What's more, you have an amazing appearance. It would be very dangerous to go out alone."

"Okay, I'm just talking. If you want to leave the General's Mansion, you have to take back everything that belongs to me." After Murong Zixi finished speaking, she closed her eyes and rested.

The two maids looked at each other again, and seeing that the eldest lady had closed her eyes and was resting, neither of them spoke to disturb her.

Xiaobai in the space said disdainfully: "Master is so powerful, how could he be afraid of any danger? Master, your two girls are a burden. It will be troublesome to carry them with you when you travel around."

"What Xiaobai said makes sense. Before we leave the General's Mansion, we have to make arrangements for the servants who served the original owner of Ziwei Pavilion. We can buy them a house or send them back to the Loyalty Marquis' Mansion."

Xiaobai was looking forward to it, "Master, when will you leave?"

"At least I have to avenge the original owner first, and then take care of this body. This body is very weak now, and I will be in trouble if anything happens."

"Well, Xiaobai will accompany the master."

"Xiaobai is so good. I am not lonely as long as you are with me."

As it was almost noon, the carriage slowly stopped in front of the gate of Yuchan Temple.

The sound of the wheels rolling stopped abruptly, as if afraid of disturbing the tranquility of this Buddhist holy land.

Xiao Cui saw Murong Zixi leaning against the wall of the car, eyes slightly closed, as if she had fallen asleep. She called out softly, "Miss, we're here."

Murong Zixi's eyelashes trembled slightly, like butterfly wings dancing in the breeze. She slowly opened her eyes, and a trace of clarity flashed in her eyes. She didn't look like she had just woken up from sleep. She sat up straight and said "hmm" softly. She had been sitting in the carriage for too long and it was bumpy all the way. Murong Zixi looked a little unhappy.

Xiao Cui whispered at the side: "Miss, you must be tired. Take a good rest now and start praying tomorrow."

Murong Zixi nodded. In her previous life, she had experienced countless storms and the alertness had been engraved into her bones. Even in an unfamiliar environment, she would never let herself fall into a deep sleep and would wake up immediately at the slightest movement.

But now her body had been corroded by poison for a long time and was very weak. She had been sitting in the carriage for so long and the bumpy ride made her face look a little pale.

Xiao Cui helped Murong Zixi get off the carriage. A fresh air blew in their faces, mixed with the unique scent of sandalwood from the temple.

Murong Zixi leaned on Xiao Cui, looking very weak, as if she would fall down if the wind blew.

Xiaobai in the space was a little worried, "Master, you can't do this. You have to detoxify your body as soon as possible."

"This body is too bad. There are many toxins in the body. Direct detoxification will not be enough. I have to take good care of my body."

The young monk had been waiting at the door for a long time. When he saw them get off the car, he immediately stepped forward to greet them.

“Amitabha, but is he from the General’s Mansion?”

Liu Hong responded with a smile, "Young Master, we are from the General's Mansion. We sent someone to your temple in advance to say hello. Today, my wife brought several young ladies from the mansion to your temple to pray for our old lady."

Although the young monk was not very old, his face showed an indifference that was beyond the world. He put his hands together, bowed slightly, and said, "Donor, I have prepared a guest room for you, please follow me."

The group followed the young monk into the temple, where they saw lush flowers and trees, burning incense and many pilgrims in the courtyard.

The sunlight shines through the treetops, casting mottled shadows, adding a touch of mystery and tranquility to this ancient temple.

Murong Zixi felt very uncomfortable and couldn't help but slow down her pace.

Xiao Qing noticed Murong Zixi, stopped and looked at her, "Miss, are you feeling unwell?"

Murong Zixi said calmly: "It's nothing, it's just that the carriage is a bit uncomfortable due to the bumpy ride."

Murong Jiaoning sneered: "Big sister is really weak!"

They continued to follow the little monk and came to a corner of the temple. The environment here was quiet and elegant. They were all female pilgrims, so separate rooms were arranged for them.

The young monk stopped and put his hands together, "Dear donors, we are here. Here are the rooms prepared for you."

Murong Baixue said softly: "Thank you, little master."

The little monk blushed and lowered his head, "It's almost noon, donors, please send someone to the canteen to prepare vegetarian meals."

The little monk left in a hurry after saying this.

Xiao Qing and the others each chose a room, settled in, and asked their maids to go to the temple cafeteria to get vegetarian meals.

Seeing that they had all chosen their rooms, Murong Zixi also walked into a room. Although it was simple, the windows were clean, the bed was tidy, and it looked comfortable.

Xiao Cui helped Murong Zixi sit down on a stool nearby.

Xiaolu put down her bag and said, "Miss, you must be hungry. I'll go get some vegetarian food."

"Ok".
