Exile: Empty half of the capital and blow up the enemy's palace

Chapter 21 Many Royal Guards Came to the Palace

Yun Qingqing walked through several quiet paths and came to an empty pavilion and sat down. Today was July 16th.

Tomorrow is the day in my dream when the Duke of Huguo’s mansion will be raided and his property will be imprisoned in the Sky Prison. I have to do something big tonight.

After sitting in the pavilion for a long time, Yun Qingqing thought that the conversation between her grandmother and Master Minghui had ended, so she stood up and left the pavilion, returning along the same route. Halfway there, she met someone who was looking for her grandmother.

"Grandma, are you done talking?" Yun Qingqing walked quickly forward and asked with concern.

The elder lady smiled and nodded, looking at Yun Qingqing with loving eyes.

"Grandma, what did Master Minghui tell you?" Yun Qingqing asked curiously.

The elder lady smiled and said, "Master Minghui said that you are a lucky star, and with the help of noble people, you will have great and long-lasting blessings. In the future, you will be able to help the Duke of Huguo Mansion turn danger into fortune and overcome difficulties."

Yun Qingqing's heart moved when she heard this. Master Minghui said this to her. She could use this as an excuse when she took things out of the space in the future. She didn't say much, but just took the hand of the elder lady and said with a smile: "Grandma, I will protect the Duke of Huguo's Mansion well."

The elder lady looked at her lovingly and said softly, "Abao, the Protectorate Palace doesn't need you to guard it. Just be happy every day. Grandmother has no other requirements for you. She only hopes that you will be safe, healthy and happy."

This is a grandmother's greatest hope for her granddaughter.

Yun Qingqing felt a warm feeling in her heart when she heard this, and she held her arm even tighter.

She secretly made up her mind to protect these family members who gave her warmth.

"It's already noon, Abao, let's go have some vegetarian food before returning to the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion." The elder lady said.

"Okay." Yun Qingqing nodded obediently, and went to the private room of the White Horse Temple's dining hall with the elder lady to have dinner.

The private room was quiet and elegant, with the air filled with the faint fragrance of Zen and the aroma of food. The table was filled with vegetarian delicacies, which were colorful, fragrant and delicious. Although there was no meat, they were extremely delicious. Yun Qingqing and the elder lady sat opposite each other, quietly enjoying the vegetarian meal.

After dinner, Yun Qingqing accompanied the elder lady for a stroll in the temple to help digest the food, admiring the Zen scenery of the White Horse Temple. The sunlight shone through the sparse clouds and through the leafy trees, casting mottled light and shadows. Everything seemed so peaceful and beautiful.

"Abao, let's stay at the White Horse Temple tonight." said the elder lady.

White Horse Temple is a place that makes people feel peaceful. When she arrived at the White Horse Temple, the uneasiness in her heart was suppressed.

Yun Qingqing said, "Grandma, let's go back. I can't sleep in the temple at night."

Tomorrow is the date of the house raid in her dream, and she wants to go back and do something big tonight.

Upon hearing this, the elder nodded without hesitation and said, "Okay, let's go back."

Since Abao can't rest well here, let's go back.

In the afternoon, Yun Qingqing and Old Madam Bai left the White Horse Temple and returned to the carriage. The carriage started slowly, passed through the quiet bluestone road of the White Horse Temple, and drove towards the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion.

Inside the carriage, Yun Qingqing was thinking about the family she was going to take in tonight, while the elder lady closed her eyes and gently turned a string of Buddhist beads in her hand. No one spoke, and the atmosphere in the carriage was very quiet.

When the carriage arrived at the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion, the sun had already set. After returning to the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion, Yun Qingqing made the excuse of being tired and went back to her room to find Xiaobai. Xiaobai was still sleeping, so Yun Qingqing did not wake it up. She sat quietly at the table, secretly planning to empty the palace.

She also wanted to send the old emperor to see God. The old emperor was now confused and obsessed with the art of longevity. He was wholeheartedly pursuing immortality. Later, he wasted people's money and resources and emptied the national treasury. He wanted to build a platform to ascend to heaven. In this case, she would send him to see God to prevent him from making trouble in the future.

Just as she was thinking about it, she suddenly heard hurried footsteps outside the house and heard Banxia's panicked cry, "Miss, something's wrong."

Yun Qingqing snapped out of her thoughts upon hearing this. She looked outside and heard the door bang open. Banxia rushed in, panting and saying to her, "Miss, this is bad. A lot of Imperial Guards have come outside and surrounded the Duke of Huguo's mansion."

Yun Qingqing's eyes flashed when she heard this. It seemed that the confiscation of the Duke of Huguo's mansion had been carried out ahead of schedule. Just as she was thinking about it, she felt something on her body. She looked down and saw that Xiaobai, who was originally sleeping soundly on the couch, had woken up at some point and jumped onto her.

Yun Qingqing stood up holding Xiaobai and said to Banxia, "Banxia, don't panic. I'll go out and check on the situation first. You go and watch over Xuanxuan and the others. Don't let them out."

Seeing Yun Qingqing so calm, Banxia felt a little less uneasy. She nodded quickly and turned to leave to do what she had asked her to do.
