After rebirth, I married the emperor's uncle and overthrew my ex-husband's kingdom

"He actually knew about the Qingling Mountain incident. I'm afraid this guy has been waiting for me to fall into his trap!"

Prince Rong cursed as he walked. If they were not from the same ancestor, he would have cursed all eight generations of his ancestors.

He originally wanted to use the salt permit given by the prince to exchange Zhuang for his life, but he didn't expect that Lu Lingye would ask for such a huge amount and directly take his Qingling Mountain.

"It's all that Bai Lao San's fault. Why didn't he just die peacefully? He caused me to suffer heavy losses this time!"

Lu Huaizhen, who was following behind them, heard them mention Qingling Mountain, and there was a hint of doubt in his sparkling eyes.

What exactly is in Qingling Mountain?

What did Prince Rong exchange Qingling Mountain for with Lu Lingye?

Everything was like a cloud of mist entangled in Lu Huaizhen's mind.

Only after Prince Rong got on the ordinary carriage parked at the other end of the alley did he turn around and return to his mansion.

"Hey, where have you been again?"

Seeing that he was wet all over, Qian Bo quickly pulled him into the house and took out his usual cloak and put it on him.

"Don't you know your own body? If you treat it badly, you will suffer in winter!"

Qian Bo wrapped him up, ran out of the door, and asked someone to boil a large bucket of hot water and bring it over.

Lu Huaizhen soaked in the wooden barrel with white steam floating in it, and the coldness in his lungs subsided a little.

His eyes were wandering and his mind was thinking about Prince Rong.

Qingling Mountain is not far from the Buddha Temple. There are lush trees and thorns everywhere. It is rumored that there are Yin puppets in the mountain, and many people who enter the mountain have been eaten by Yin puppets.

Since the rumor spread, few people go there except for those who go up the mountain to chop firewood due to financial difficulties.

Lu Huaizhen plans to go and investigate in person tomorrow.

The next morning, the sun was shining brightly.

Bai Youyou was forced to lie in bed for nearly a month. She could no longer stay in bed, so she pulled Lu's arm and shook it, begging her to go out for a walk.

"Mom, let's go to the Big Buddha Temple. I heard the peach blossoms there are in full bloom."

Mrs. Lu couldn't resist her coquetry, and said helplessly and dotingly: "Okay, okay, it just so happens that we said last time that we would go to worship the Buddha. You wait, I'll ask Cuizhu to ask your grandmother if she wants to go with us."

The old lady happened to have nothing to do today, so she asked someone to harness the carriage.

All Bodhisattvas in the world are the same. Bai Youyou followed Lu and the old lady and bowed devoutly three times.

The rich sandalwood scent lingers in the nose, and the solemn Buddha image can instantly calm one's restless heart.

The old lady knew that she had been locked up for a long time these days, so she smiled and said, "Go for a walk, but don't go too far."

"Yeah, I know."

After getting permission, Bai Youyou rushed out the door happily with Xiaoju like a pig out of the pen.

Xiaoju has been accompanying Bai Youyou these days and has never left the house. At this moment, there is a hint of sweetness in the air.

"Miss, look over there!"

Xiaoju stood beside Bai Youyou, jumping and chirping.

Bai Youyou looked in the direction of her finger, and a forest of pink peaches in full bloom came into view.

It is true that the beautiful flowers of April on earth are gone and the peach blossoms in the mountain temple are in full bloom.

The peach forest is located in the back mountain of the Big Buddha Temple. The master and servant are walking along the quiet path.

"Well!"

Under a peach tree not far away, a man in black clothes and a black mask fell to the ground with a sharp arrow stuck in his chest.

When Bai Youyou and Xiaoju saw that man, they were so frightened that their breathing stopped.

"help me!"

When the people on the ground saw Bai Youyou, their black eyes exposed outside the mask suddenly lit up.

Bai Youyou was about to step forward, but Xiaoju grabbed her and said, "Miss, this man is wearing black clothes and a mask, he is definitely not a good person!"

Bai Youyou was also worried that he was not a good person, and was struggling for a moment as to whether or not to step forward.

Lu Huaizhen lying on the ground felt that he was about to bleed to death. In addition, Prince Rong's men were chasing him. At this moment, he could not care about hiding anything and took off the black mask on his face.

"King Xian?!"

When Bai Youyou and Xiaoju saw that it was him, they were both shocked and ran towards him quickly.

"What are you doing?"

Lu Huaizhen stretched out his hand towards her, "Don't ask so many questions for now, there are pursuers behind us, let's get out of here quickly!"

Xiaoju and Bai Youyou held him on both sides and walked quickly towards the path they came from.

I definitely can't go to the temple in this state, so Bai Youyou quickly asked, "Do you know if there are other paths down the mountain?"

"Yes, this way."

The wound on Bai Youyou's shoulder had almost healed, but whenever she exerted force on her left arm, she felt a piercing pain.

She simply put her arm around his waist, and she and Xiaoju helped him down the mountain.

"Are you going to a den of thieves?"

There were sharp arrows stuck in his chest and legs, and there were several deep knife wounds on his back that could see the bones.

"I went to investigate a shocking secret, and someone discovered it."

Lu Huaizhen didn't expect that there was iron mine in Qingling Mountain. It seemed that mining had already begun.

Salt and iron mines were all under the control of the imperial court, but Prince Rong was so bold that he did not report the discovery to the imperial court and even dared to mine privately.

What did he want to exchange this iron ore for from the Third Prince? What did Lu Lingye have that was worth the prince Rong exchanging an iron ore for?

These two questions have been lingering in his mind, leaving him puzzled.

Bai Youyou glanced behind him and seemed to see several dark shadows vaguely.

Her heart was pounding and she was breathing heavily.

"What kind of shocking secret is it that requires killing people to silence them?"

Lu Huaizhen felt dizzy. He bit the tip of his tongue, forcing himself to stay awake, and said weakly, "Of course it's a fatal secret."

Xiaoju has sharp eyes. When he saw the men in black following behind him, he was so scared that his legs went weak. "We have to move faster. Those people are catching up with us."

"Hurry up!"

Bai Youyou endured the pain in her body and used all her strength to support Lu Huaizhen and ran forward.

"That won't do, miss."

Xiaoju looked back again, and his eyes widened with fear as he saw the man in black getting closer and closer.

Bai Youyou also looked back, feeling very heavy-hearted.

The carriage is still some distance away from the foot of the mountain. At the current speed, we will be caught up by those people in less than a cup of tea.

Lu Huaizhen knew that things were not going well, and said weakly, "You guys go first, don't worry about me."

"How can you stand by and watch someone die when it has come to this?"

Bai Youyou gritted her teeth, she stopped and ordered Xiaoju, "Xiaoju, take Prince Xian over there!"

Xiaoju stood there motionless, anxious to the point of tears, "Miss, what are you going to do?"

"Don't argue, I'm faster than you." Bai Youyou urged, "Take Prince Xian away quickly, I'll lead those men in black away."

After saying that, she ran towards the other side like an arrow shot from a bow, and deliberately made some noise.
