Surprise!!! The Regent Princess is actually a hidden boss

After everyone calmed down, Chu Qianyu stepped forward and said, "Don't worry, mother. I have already made two preparations. My people will send the abbot of Zhaohua Temple up here. It should be about time now."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Shaoying had brought a monk in a cassock.

"The abbot of Zhaohua Temple? He is not easy to invite. Even if the emperor sends someone to invite him, he may not be able to come. And it depends on whether he is free." The old princess said in shock.

Chu Qianyu smiled faintly and said, "This is all thanks to Patriarch Situ. I am on good terms with her, so I gave her a heads up in case something unexpected happened."

At this time, Uncle San's daughter Mo Qingzhu sneered and said, "Could it be that Sister-in-law knew that the abbot would have a problem today? So she arranged it in advance. Otherwise, how could such a coincidence be known to you in advance?"

Chu Qianyu glanced at her and said sternly, "Do I need to tell a junior like you what I do?"

When Third Aunt Liu heard Chu Qianyu say this about her daughter, she was immediately unhappy. She stepped forward and said, "You must be feeling guilty for saying this about my daughter. This is the truth. Such a thing has never happened before. The originally designated abbot had an accident, and you just happened to find the abbot of Zhaohua Temple. Who would believe you if you said it wasn't your plan!"

"Since Third Aunt doesn't believe it, why don't you go to Qingyun Temple in person to see if the abbot is really ill. Or is there any benefit for me to do this?" Chu Qianyu's eyes flashed with impatience. If there weren't so many people here, she wouldn't bother to waste time talking to her. It's really troublesome.

"Oh! What benefit is there? It's just to show off your acquaintance with Patriarch Situ and to invite the elders of Zhaohua Temple."

"Aunt San, don't forget what day today is. If you continue to make trouble like this, don't blame me for sending you back." Mo Yinan said coldly.

After saying this, without waiting for Liu to reply, he took Chu Qianyu and the old princess and their party towards the abbot of Zhaohua Temple.

After nodding and greeting each other.

Under the arrangement of Manager Ming, the sacrificial ceremony officially began.

After this incident, things seemed to go particularly smoothly afterwards and no accidents occurred.

After the sacrifice was completed, it was already the Shen time.

The group of people were so hungry that they were almost starving.

Fortunately, there is a courtyard not far away after going down the mountain. Over the years, after offering sacrifices to their ancestors, everyone would go there to have a simple meal, rest for a night, and then return to the city tomorrow.

But as soon as they got down the mountain, they saw the horses falling down one after another.

"What's going on?" Uncle Mo Huaiyuan asked in surprise.

"Let's go and take a look." Mo Yinan said.

Yin Ling and Yin Ren agreed and quickly ran down to investigate.

Chu Qianyu squinted and looked at the place where the horse fell and the surrounding environment.

After a moment he said, "I'll go down and see if there's something wrong with the grass." After saying that, he walked straight down.

Mo Yinan followed closely and walked down together.

Chu Qianyu walked around and looked at the grass carefully before he stood up and said seriously, "We have been tricked. The surface of the grass has been drugged. The amount used is huge. These horses will be in a coma for at least three days."

"This should be just the beginning. I don't know what he will do next. Do you have any guess who will do this?"

Mo Yinan frowned, thought for a while, and sighed, "It seems that I have offended a lot of people recently." In addition to the Princess and Prince Yu, there is also a case of corruption and collusion among officials. So it is impossible to pinpoint who it is for the time being.

Chu Qianyu had the same idea at this time. This person must have known that they were coming to worship their ancestors today, so he had already drugged the place. Now there was no way to catch him. Naturally, it was even harder to know who it was.

"What should we do now? In my opinion, we can't go to that yard now. There must be an ambush on the road." Chu Qianyu said.

That person knew exactly where and when they would worship their ancestors, so he must also know their future itinerary.

Mo Yinan turned around and looked at the group of people behind him, then said, "Mother and uncle are old. They can't walk far. If we can't go to that yard, we can only go to a nearby town. But we can't be sure that it is safe there."

Chu Qianyu's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and then he said: "Let your people escort mother and the others to the yard. Since they are coming for us, let's go meet them. Let's go to the nearby town."

After he finished speaking, he glanced at the fainted horses and continued, "Although I can't wake these horses up immediately, they can wake up before tomorrow morning. I'll ask Shaoying and the others to deal with it later and drive the carriage back to the yard before tomorrow morning. This way, mother and the others can also return to Beijing."

Mo Yinan listened to her methodical arrangements without panicking at all. He looked at her with a different eye at this moment.

He nodded and said, "In that case, let's do as you say. Let's lure out the people in the dark. I want to see who wants to harm us."

"How is Nan'er? Can we still leave?" The old princess saw that the two had been discussing for a long time without any results, and everyone started to complain. She couldn't help but step forward and ask.

Mo Yinan turned and walked towards the old princess and the others, saying as he walked: "These horses have been drugged. You can only walk to that yard. I will send people to drive all the carriages back tomorrow morning. Then you can return to Beijing."

"Drugged? Who is so vicious as to harm us?" Uncle Mo Huaiyuan said in disbelief.

Before Mo Yinan could reply, he heard his third uncle Mo Deqing say, "Nan'er, did you offend someone in the court recently? Otherwise, the horses in the carriage we rode here would have been poisoned."

"We don't know who did this yet. But I will find out." Mo Yinan suppressed his anger and explained to them patiently.

"Brother, then you let us go first. What about you? You don't want to go?" Mo Qingzi said worriedly.

"You go first. This person must be coming for me, so Qianqian and I will go and lead him out. We'll be there later. Don't worry."

"You still want to take Qianqian with you? No! It's too dangerous. How can Qianqian, a weak woman, take this risk with you?" When the old princess heard that he still wanted to take Chu Qianyu with him, she immediately refused.

"Don't worry, mother. I have thought about this matter myself. You don't have to worry about it. It's getting late. I'll have someone take you there first." Mo Yinan didn't plan to say more. If he delayed any further, it would be dark, and it would be even more difficult to do anything then.

The old princess also knew that her son could not be dissuaded once he made up his mind. She sighed and said, "Then you must protect Qianqian and don't let her get hurt. Otherwise, I will not forgive you."

Mo Qingzi also ran to Chu Qianyu and said with worry in her eyes: "Sister-in-law, it's too dangerous for you to follow us to lure out the enemy. I don't know why my brother had to take you with him. Anyway, I know a little bit of martial arts, so how about I go with you?"

Chu Qianyu smiled and shook her head, "I know you are doing this for my own good. But I will be fine with your elder brother protecting me. Just follow mother to the yard first. We will see each other later."

Mo Qingzi looked at his sister-in-law, who had a firm expression that would not accept rejection, and sighed inwardly. It seemed that his sister-in-law and his elder brother were both as stubborn.

Then he nodded helplessly and said, "Well, you have to be careful too. I was thinking of going out for a walk nearby tomorrow. You must come back safely."

"Okay." Chu Qianyu agreed without hesitation.
