The black pieces have been surrounded by the white pieces.

Qiu Man curled her lips, "How dare I? You should just play chess properly. You've already lost."

But I didn’t expect that the prince lost an hour.

Xu Qihuai suspected that they did it on purpose. He didn't lose so much on weekdays. "Did you study secretly?"

The prince's carriage could only go as far as the foot of the mountain, and Qiu Ying felt that it was not sincere to ride in a sedan chair.

He held the Crown Princess' hand and walked up the steps into the temple. "Man'er, let Miss Jiu and the others accompany you to burn incense. Our group is too conspicuous and we are afraid that someone with ulterior motives will target us."

Qiu Man responded: "Your Highness rarely comes out to relax, so let's go hiking with them."

This is what they do every time they come here.

Jiang Jing asked: "A Su, are you going?"

Jiusu shook his head. Looking at the mountain that rose into the sky, his legs felt weak. He was so scared. The steps of the temple were not enough for him to walk. "I'd better go burn incense and worship Buddha."

Jiang Nianyin also went hiking.

Qiu Man turned her head and looked at the person whose eyes had been on the prince. She said calmly, "You should go with him."

"No." Zhou Rui'er retracted her gaze and shook her head, "I want to stay by your side and serve you."

The four of them went to the main hall one after another. The maids were not allowed to follow them. They all hid from the rain and chatted under the eaves. Zhongqin held the sword and watched Huang Xin and Ziyin secretly competing with each other, frowning in confusion.

She said coldly: "Since you don't like each other, why not have a fight."

As he said this, he drew his sword.

The two maids quickly shut up.

Inside the palace, it was still early and a rainy day, so there were not many people around.

Qiu Ying held the incense sticks in both hands and raised them to her forehead. She knelt on the cushion and bowed devoutly. She stood up gently, inserted the incense sticks into the burner, put her hands together and silently said: "I ask the Buddha to bless me to have a smooth delivery."

She put incense money.

He nodded slightly to the people behind him.

Ziyin accompanied the Crown Princess to the toilet.

Hold the fragrance for a long time and make a wish: get rich, get rich, get rich.

The two looked up, looked at each other, and were suddenly shocked. Where is Zhou Ruier?

Jiusu left the hall and asked, "Did you see where Rui Liangdi went?"

Zhongqin pointed to a path.

The same direction as the Crown Princess left.

She and Qiu Man didn't dare to delay, and ran to the bathroom holding up their skirts and without even opening an umbrella.

There are very few people in the clean room.

Qiu Ying moved very slowly. After she came out, she couldn't see Ziyin. She frowned. Ziyin was not a playful maid. When she turned around, she saw Zhou Ruier. She took a deep breath and was startled.

"Rui...Rui Liangdi."

Zhou Ruier smiled and bowed: "Sister."

Qiu Ying nodded at her, then held onto the wall and walked forward, breathing rapidly, her mind filled with fantasies of Liang Di harming her.

Suddenly, a wretched man appeared at the corner, raised his eyebrows at Qiu Ying, rubbed his hands and said, "Beauty, I have been eyeing you for a long time. You came here to burn incense by yourself. Do you want me to accompany you?"

Qiu Ying stepped back, her expression tense.

"I'm pregnant, please let me go."

She didn't dare to mention her identity as the Crown Princess, for fear that the man would find out that she had offended someone she shouldn't have offended and become increasingly radical and want to kill her to silence her.

The man approached: "I don't care whether you are pregnant or not, it's not my child anyway."

Zhou Ruier and Huang Xin ran forward.

Zhou Ruier took Qiu Ying's arm and asked, "What do you want to do?"

The man said, "Oh, you are pretty too."

Huang Xin stood in front of the two and warned, "This is the Crown Princess. If you dare to offend her, be careful that the Crown Prince will kill you!"

The man was obviously startled, and his face became even more ferocious.

He grabbed Huang Xin's hair and slammed her against the wall.

"Humph, another one who is not afraid of death."

Zhou Ruier was terrified. She held the Crown Princess's hand and said, "Sister, you run first. I'll help you drag him."

"No, no." Qiu Ying shook her head. She tried to remain calm and said, "Dear Rui Liangdi, he may look fierce, but he is weak. When they get close, we will pull out our hairpins and stab him."

Zhou Ruier nodded: "Okay."

The man kept getting closer.

Zhou Ruier pulled out her hairpin, which rolled to the ground and flew out.

Qiu Ying secretly cried out in dismay.

The man picked up the hairpin and laughed loudly. He grabbed Zhou Ruier and put the hairpin against her neck, threatening her: "If you still want to harm me, throw away the hair ornament on your head, otherwise, I will kill her."

Qiu Ying had no choice but to throw it away, her heart in her throat.

What should she do?

Why is there no one near the toilet?

They couldn't all be knocked unconscious, could they?

"Whether you want silver or houses and land, I'll give it to you. If you have anything to say, let's talk it out."

Zhou Ruier said tensely, "Yes, the Crown Princess has been gone for so long, someone will come looking for her soon. I advise you to leave quickly, or else you will suffer the consequences."

The man then stopped grinning.

Walking towards Qiu Ying, he circled around her.

"Oh, if you don't have this child, do you think the prince will still love you?"

Qiu Ying covered her abdomen, feeling uncomfortable, "Ugh!"

"You still dislike me?" The man took out a handkerchief and covered Qiu Ying's mouth with it. "Be quiet and don't move...ah!"

Something pierced his calf and he knelt on the ground with a grimace in pain.

Qiu Man kicked the man fiercely, "You bastard, you are so blind that you actually committed a crime in a temple. Aren't you afraid of retribution?"

Jiusu helped the Crown Princess up.

She asked softly, "Are you okay?"

Qiu Ying covered her abdomen and said, "It hurts a little. Maybe I was scared. Thanks to Rui Liangdi, I was saved from death."

Zhou Ruier's eyes were red and she limped over.

"As long as my sister is okay."

Qiu Man curled her lips and whispered, "She is my sister."

Jiusu pinched her wrist.

"It doesn't look like a pulse of shock, but more like a pulse of inhaling something."

Keep searching in men.

Finally, the picture stopped at the purse around his waist and the handkerchief that fell beside it.

"It's... Musk."

When he opened the purse, he found a bag full of musk. It was not enough to be fatal, but it was obviously aimed at the child in the Crown Princess's belly.

Qiu Ying's legs went weak, and she thought of the maid: "Where's Ziyin?"

Qiu Man said: "He was knocked unconscious, he will wake up soon."

As the matter was of great importance, the abbot of the temple was consulted.

The host turned pale and was extremely terrified. "The sign for cleaning the room must have been put there intentionally. This man... seems to be a well-known scoundrel in the village at the foot of the mountain. He owes a lot of debts and has also stolen incense money. His name seems to be something like Ugly Donkey."

Ugly donkey?

The name really suits the person.

The young monk who was guarding the clean room said, "I accidentally fell asleep and didn't see anyone come here to steal the sign."

His face was flushed and there were traces of sleep on it.

Make sure there is no talking.

Jiusu said, "Since he is a scoundrel, then it is easy to deal with. Master, can you lend me two dormitories?"

The host immediately asked someone to take it away.

One place is for the Crown Princess and others to rest, and the other is very useful.

Qiu Man was worried about leaving her sister and Zhou Ruier alone. Listening to the painful cries beside her, she felt itchy in her heart. She really wanted to see what method Sister Jiusu would use to make the ugly donkey speak?
