Song Yao was reading a book with Xiao Chi. Hua Ying walked over to Song Yao and said, "Empress, your sister-in-law is here."

When she heard the word sister-in-law, Song Yao knew it was E Yu without thinking.

She looked up at Huaying and said, "Let her in."

"Yes." Huaying nodded slightly and went out to bring E Yu in.

E Yu came over and was about to bow, but Xiao Chi told her not to bow, because they were all family and it would be too awkward to bow.

E Yu was not polite and really did not bow.

She looked at Song Yao, "Empress, do you know that Imperial Preceptor Jiang will be executed today?"

Song Yao nodded, looked at her and said, "I know, what's wrong?"

E Yu said: "When the parade was held today, Yingying and I went to watch it, and then we went to the execution ground and saw Wang Manyu..."

Before she finished speaking, Song Yao cleared her throat and said, "Sister-in-law."

When she called E Yu, she also glanced at Hua Ying.

E Yu was stunned at first, then suddenly understood what Song Yao meant.

Wang Manyu and Master Jiang are Huaying's parents. Although they are hateful, they are still Huaying's relatives after all. If this were to be said out loud, Huaying would definitely not be able to bear it.

Huaying knew what they meant and said calmly, "It doesn't matter to me. You can say whatever you want. Anyway, I never considered them as my parents. You don't have to consider my feelings."

E Yu was a little unconvinced, "You really don't mind?"

Huaying shook her head, looking relieved. She pursed her lips and smiled, "I really don't mind. Besides, it's okay if they die. After all, they killed so many people. If they don't die, how can we explain to the relatives of the victims? I'm really fine."

When E Yu heard Huaying say this, he told her the story of Wang Manyu's execution, and even the scene where Master Jiang was cut by a knife during the execution.

After hearing this, Song Yao frowned tightly.

Not to mention seeing that scene, she felt disgusted just by hearing about it.

Song Yao said, "They are just like devils. They deserve to be in this situation."

E Yu said, "Yes, those onlookers were cursing them, saying they deserved to die. Your Majesty, you really should go and see it too."

"I'll let it go," Song Yao said. "As long as they are punished, that's all."

E Yu nodded. Seeing that she was reading a book and Xiao Chi was also reading, he asked in confusion, "What are you reading?"

Song Yao smiled and said, "Just take a look."

"Oh." E Yu didn't ask any further questions.

Song Yao said, "Sister-in-law, since you are here now, why don't you have lunch in the palace before leaving?"

"That's fine!" E Yu didn't bother to be polite with her. "Then I'll go play with the little prince and the others first."

"Go ahead." Song Yao looked at Huaying, "Huaying, take her there."

"Okay!" Huaying nodded and left with E Yu.

Song Yao picked up the book and started reading.

After reading for a while, she glanced at Xiao Chi beside her and said, "I'm a little worried that these books don't contain the content I want to read. If I can't find it, I can only wait for my master to go to the Taoist temple to ask."

Xiao Chi never thought that he could find a way for Song Yao to return to the modern era in the book. It was just that Song Yao said she wanted to find it, so he accompanied her in the search.

Now after hearing Song Yao's words, Xiao Chi was no longer so disappointed.

"Then let your master go to the Taoist temple. However, there are so many Taoist temples in the Great Dynasty. I don't know which one he will go to."

"Xuanyun Temple, that Taoist temple has a great influence. There must be many Taoists with profound cultivation in it."

"He's been so busy lately, he definitely doesn't have time. Why don't we go together and relax a bit."

Song Yao put down the book and looked at Xiao Chi, she couldn't help but laugh, "What, are you bored in the palace?"

"It's a bit boring." Xiao Chi said, "How about you go to Xuanyun Temple after the morning court tomorrow?"

"Okay!" Song Yao said, "My master helps us every day and is already very hard-working. Let's go on our own this time."

"Yeah." Xiao Chi nodded.

Since he ascended the throne, he stayed in the palace every day. Only after Song Yao returned to the Song family did he benefit from it. However, before dawn the next day, he returned to the palace to attend the morning court.

It was a rare opportunity for him to go out with Song Yao, and his heart was filled with anticipation.

Song Yao put the book away, said hello to Xiao Chi, and went to the imperial study.

When he arrived at the imperial study, Yuchi Lan was reviewing memorials.

"Master."

Song Yao shouted.

Yuchi Lan, who was busy, looked up at her and asked, "What's wrong?"

Song Yao walked up to Yuchi Lan and said, "Master, you work so hard every day, so I discussed with the emperor that we will go to Xuanyun Temple tomorrow. You don't have to go, we can go by ourselves. Otherwise, you are so busy, and I don't know when you will be free."

"Oh, I'm really busy right now. You guys can go by yourselves then. But can you find the way?"

Song Yao smiled and said, "Don't worry, we can just ask for directions."

"Okay, then take Xie Cheng with you when you go."

After leaving the palace, Yuchi Lan was worried that others would assassinate them after knowing their identities, so he asked Xie Cheng to follow, so that he would feel more at ease.

"Know it."

Song Yao pursed her lips and smiled coquettishly at Yuchi Lan, "Master, it's great to have you."

Yuchi Lan tilted his head to look at Song Yao, his dark eyes looking at Song Yao. His facial features were three-dimensional, and he exuded the steady aura that only a mature man could have.

"is it?"

"Yes, without a master, no one would be able to help us, so it's great to have you."

Yuchi Lan smiled helplessly, "So you say I'm good because I help you two with work?"

Song Yao was stunned for a moment and lowered her head awkwardly. "I guess so, but Master, please don't be so direct. It's embarrassing."

"Okay, go and accompany the emperor. I'll continue reading the memorials."

"Okay, Master, thank you for your hard work." Song Yao smiled and left without saying a word.

Yuchi Lan shook his head and laughed, and the smile looked very helpless.

What he is looking for is not a disciple, but a ancestor.

……

The next day.

After the morning court session, Song Yao went straight back to Fanghua Palace.

Xiao Chi was ready. Song Yao gave Huaying and Matron Liu a few instructions and left with Xiao Chi.

Xie Cheng had already prepared a carriage and was waiting at the palace gate.

After they left the palace and got on the carriage, Xie Cheng drove the carriage to the market in the capital.

Since he didn't know the exact location of Xuanyun Temple, Xie Cheng asked a few passers-by. After they told him the location of Xuanyun Temple, Xie Cheng continued to drive the carriage away.

Two days later, the carriage arrived at Luling Mountain.

The carriage stopped and Song Yao and Xiao Chi got off.

Xie Cheng said, "Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, shall we go straight up?"

Song Yao said, "Don't call me that outside. Call me Madam and call him Master."

"..."

Xie Cheng was stunned. No matter how he looked at him, Xiao Chi didn't look like someone who could be called "master".

However, Xiao Chi didn't say anything, so he could only do as he was told.

Xie Cheng nodded, "Madam, Master, let's go."

Then they went up the mountain.
