Spring Drunk Chang'an

Perhaps His Highness saw how anxious she was and was simply concerned about her, without any other intentions?

She was right, she had ladylike thoughts about His Highness and had feelings for him in her heart, so she felt that his normal, small actions out of pity were full of affection.

Liu Changan, don't think too much.

He was the crown prince, the future emperor. What kind of peerless beauty couldn't he find that the noble lady couldn't find? Why was he playing tricks on her?

illusion.

It must be an illusion!!

She warned herself in her heart, and the rosy complexion on her face slowly faded away. She lowered her head and knelt down, also in silence.

The carriage quickly left the city gate and drove along the official road towards Qingyun Crown.

They entered the mountain, turned into a small path, and walked for about half an hour before finally arriving at the destination. By then, the guards of the Eastern Palace had already informed Qingyun Crown of the prince's arrival in advance.

The owner of the Qingyun Crown, Taoist nun Xuancheng, led a group of Taoists to the gate of the crown and waited. The carriage stopped and Xiao Chuo got off with her hands behind her back.

The Master of Xuancheng Crown hurried forward, raised his hand and bowed, saying, "I greet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. May Your Highness live a thousand years!"

She was the nominal substitute for the former Empress Dowager, and to a certain extent, she represented the Empress Dowager. Even though the Empress Dowager had passed away, she, the Xuancheng Crown Master, still had the privilege to meet anyone in the royal family, even the Emperor or the Crown Prince, without having to kneel.

"Master, there's no need to be so polite!" Xiao Chuo raised her hand slightly, indicating that she didn't need to be polite.

The Master of Xuancheng Crown straightened up.

In the carriage, while the two were talking, Liu Changan slowly walked down, looked up at the Taoist crown where he had stayed for five years in his previous life and the familiar "strangers" standing beside the master of Xuancheng crown.

Hey, she recognizes most of them.

Little Taoist nun Lingyun lives next to her!

Taoist Qingming taught her how to save a drowning person!

Taoist nun Yang Bo taught her how to write and read, and even taught her the Twenty-Four Histories.

Taoist Master You Gui loves gossip the most. Although she is trapped in the imperial palace, she knows everything that happens in the capital, all thanks to her chattering mouth.

These old connections from previous lives will probably no longer exist in this life.

Liu Changan sighed deeply, lowered his head silently, leaned against the carriage, and quietly pretended to be a "transparent man".

Before the ceremony, Xiao Chuo exchanged greetings with the owner of Xuancheng Guan, and then a group of Taoist nuns came forward to pay their respects. Then, the group was welcomed into the Guan by the owner of Xuancheng Guan.

Xuancheng Guanzhu and Xiao Chuo walked in front.

A group of Taoist nuns followed closely behind, while Liu Chang'an was far behind among the guards and palace servants who were waiting for the prince. He was inconspicuous. They followed the road in the Taoist temple and went straight to the big temple.

The master of Xuanchengguan invited Xiao Chuo to sit in the seat of honor.

The guards and palace servants he brought with him were also received by their respective people. Liu Changan sat steadily at the end of the seat, drinking tea and eating vegetarian snacks while listening to the conversation between His Highness and the Lord of the Crown.

The Xuancheng Crown Master asked first, "Is the Queen in good health?"

In her early years, when the Empress Dowager was still alive, she went to the palace to preach Buddhism, and the Empress Wang often accompanied her. The two were familiar with each other. However, later, because of the matter of the little princess, Empress Wang avoided the palace and did not meet outsiders. The Master of Xuancheng Crown also understood and never asked to see her again.

Now that I see the prince, I must ask him.

Xiao Chuo nodded, "Thank you for your concern, my Lord. May your mother be in good health."

"Wulian Tianzun!" The Xuancheng Guanzhu pronounced his Taoist name, and then asked, "Is everything going smoothly, Your Majesty?"

This question was not so sincere, and it sounded like - the Queen has already given her regards, so it would be bad to leave the Emperor out?

"Your Majesty, father rules the world, so naturally he is content." Xiao Chuo replied nonchalantly.

Upon hearing this, Master Xuancheng stood up and bowed towards the direction of the imperial palace. Then, he asked about Xiao Chuo's health several times, and then the two of them began to talk about business.

"Your Highness has come here in person today, but is there anything you would like to instruct me?"

"I'll have to trouble the Crown Master!"

Xiao Chuo politely brought up the matter of "Rosenbergia edulis".

The Xuancheng Crown Lady was filled with surprise. The 'Rosenbergia argentea' was something she had received in the past when she entered the palace to meet the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager noticed that she had difficulty walking and asked about her condition. After learning that she was suffering from bone pain, she specially gave it to her as a reward for treatment. However, the medicine was a tribute treasure. It was acceptable to give it to court officials and concubines, but it was inappropriate to give it to an old Taoist nun. The Empress Dowager therefore ordered that it be kept secret, and no one knew about it at all.

What's more, the Empress Dowager has been dead for more than ten years now, and the past is like the wind. How could the prince know?

Although it is said that there are no secrets in the palace, but...

The prince is so well-informed!

Horrible, terrible.

How terrible.

The Master of Xuancheng Crown sighed for a moment, then agreed very generously and even stood up to get it himself.

It's just a medicine. If it can please the prince, there is no reason for her to be reluctant to give it up.

"Please wait a moment, Your Highness. I will be back soon."

The Master of Xuancheng Crown said in a deep voice.

"Please do as you wish, Master." Xiao Chuo responded.

The master of Xuanchengguan went to the backyard by himself, and Xiao Chuo also sent two maids to follow him.

There were only a group of female Taoist nuns left in the room, and Xiao Chuo was a man, surrounded by a group of guards. They were staring at each other, and it seemed like something was wrong.

So he simply got up and walked into the hall.

The guards followed closely to protect him.

Liu Changan is of course no exception.

Qingyunguan was a place for the "noble ladies" to practice in seclusion. The entire Taoist temple was filled with women. Even though Xiao Chuo was the Crown Prince, she had to abide by the rules and was definitely not allowed to venture into the backyard. She would just wander around the open space in the front hall, or pay her respects to the Three Pure Ones, waiting for the master of Xuanchengguan to return, get her medicine, and leave. Who knew that just as they arrived at a side hall and were about to go in to pay their respects!

suddenly!

Not far away, a woman with disheveled hair rushed out from a moon-shaped gate. In her arms, she held a worn, ugly doll. Her eyes were dull and crazy, and her face was abnormally flushed. She giggled and rocked the ugly doll lovingly, coaxing it like her own child, saying softly, "My dear son, my dear baby, mother is here, don't be afraid!"

"Mom will protect you. No one can hurt you. Who dares to hurt you? Mom will fight them to the death!!"

"Mom, fight!"

She cursed and swore, her whole body mad and her face showed tenderness amidst the madness.

It's just, it's very strange.

You can tell at a glance that he's a lunatic.

Xiao Chuo, Liu Changan and others bumped into her head-on, stopped immediately, looked at her with frowns, and before they could ask anything, three more people ran out from the Moon Gate.

A Taoist nun and two maids.

The three of them breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the crazy woman. They strode forward and shouted, "Madam! Madam Xu, please stop making trouble. Go back quickly. You can't come to the outer hall!"

"Come back with us."

Three people came forward and pulled the crazy woman's arm.

The tone was coaxing, and the movements were cautious. However, even so, the mad woman was still frightened. Her eyes suddenly widened, and fear and cruelty emerged in her crazy expression. She raised her hands and hit the three people randomly, screaming, "Go away! Adulterers and whores, get out, get out!"

"Don't hurt my child, Dad, Dad, save me..."
