As Jiang Xiyu expected, Xu Rui frowned and looked at Liu Ye and said, "The stone steps of Lanruo Temple are indeed quite high. There are porters at the foot of the mountain. I will ask someone to hire a porter for Miss Lin and have them carry her up the mountain."

Liu Ye was instantly dissatisfied when she heard this. "How can this be allowed? How can we allow these vulgar people to defile the young lady?"

Xu Rui's face darkened when he heard this. "Then I'll have to trouble you and Ye Zi."

Xu Rui said this without giving Liu Ye a chance to speak, and took Jiang Xiyu to Lanruo Temple.

Xu Rong glanced at Liu Ye with contempt and followed them.

Liu Ye was so angry that she turned around and went to Lin Rouyu to complain.

When Lin Rouyu heard what Liu Ye said, she became so angry that her face turned pale.

"It's all because of that woman's instigation that the Marquis won't come to hug you."

Lin Rouyu completely hated Jiang Xiyu and gritted her teeth as she got off the carriage.

By the time Lin Rouyu struggled to climb into the temple, Xu Rui and the others had already entered Lanruo Temple. Seeing that the temple was empty and no one was waiting for her, Lin Rouyu felt even more resentful towards Jiang Xiyu.

At this time, Xu Rui appeared in Lanruo Temple, attracting the attention of the monks in the temple.

"This is the Yonglin Marquis. I didn't expect he's still alive."

"Marquis Yonglin's wife received a message from the Buddha, saying that Marquis Yonglin was not dead and would return to the capital soon. I didn't expect what she said to be true."

"The Buddha really appeared, Amitabha..."

Listening to the monks' discussions, Xu Rui's eyes became deeper and deeper, and he glanced at Jiang Xiyu beside him.

She really said that in Lanruo Temple before, but how did she know that he was still alive and would return to Beijing soon?

Could it be that the Buddha really appeared?

Here, Master Wuming was checking Gulin's pulse, frowning as he said, "If Your Highness doesn't take care of his body, even I, a humble monk, will be unable to help Your Highness control the cold poison."

Gulin, who had just spent the night soaking in the hot springs, had recovered. After a moment of silence, he asked, "How much time do I have left?"

Master Wuming sighed softly, "If the prince can't find a way to detoxify, he will have at most one year left."

Wuyi was shocked when he heard this and knelt down in front of Master Wuming with a plop. "Master, please save my prince."

Master Wuming said helplessly, "It's not that I don't want to save the prince, it's just that this cold poison is too strong and has penetrated deep into the prince's internal organs and meridians. I can only provide a slight relief for the prince now, but it's only a temporary solution. If the prince can't find a way to detoxify, his life will be in danger."

Compared to the sadness and unacceptability of May Day, Gulin was drinking tea with a calm look on his face.

In fact, he knew his own body better than anyone else. If it weren't for his cold poison that was hopeless, he wouldn't have given up on drinking last night, nor would he have thought about doing what he wanted to do in his last moments.

He went to the Yonglin Marquis Mansion last night. Firstly, because for some reason, he always felt like seeing Jiang Xiyu, and secondly, he wanted to find some way to detoxify from her. After all, the last time his cold poison was relieved, he met Jiang Xiyu in the hot spring pool.

Just when the atmosphere in the Zen room was becoming somewhat solemn, the voice of a young monk was heard outside, "Master, Marquis Yonglin and his wife have arrived. They said they want to see you."

Master Wuming was stunned for a moment.

He didn't expect that Xu Rui actually came back alive.

Gulin stood up and said, "Since Master Wuming has a guest, I will go and meet him as well."

Master Wuming nodded and went out with Gulin.

As soon as they went out, they saw Jiang Xiyu and Xu Rui waiting for them outside. They were all surprised to see Gulin and Master Wuming together.

But he quickly suppressed his emotions, saluted Gulin, and then performed a Buddhist salute to Master Wuming.

"Your Highness Prince Qin, Master Wuming."

"Amitabha." Master Wuming returned the greeting.

Gulin looked at Xu Rui and asked, "Is Marquis Yonglin here to fulfill his vow today?"

Xu Rui bowed quickly, "Yes, Madam was enlightened by the Buddha before, and today our family has come to fulfill our vow."

Gulin glanced at Jiang Xiyu and said, "I didn't expect that what Madam Yonglin said at Lanruo Temple has come true. If it is really the Buddha's guidance, then it is time for her to fulfill her vow."

Jiang Xiyu pretended not to understand Gulin's temptation and only bowed to Gulin, "Your Highness the Prince of Qin is absolutely right. The Buddha blesses us, so I brought my family here today to fulfill my vow."

Jiang Xiyu said this and bowed to Master Wuming again, "Master, I promised to rebuild the Buddha's golden body. My husband and I brought a lot of craftsmen with us this time. Please help arrange it."

"Amitabha." Master Wuming quickly returned the greeting and looked at Xu Rui and Jiang Xiyu and said, "Thank you so much, my Lord and Madam."

Master Wuming said this and led the craftsmen to the main hall of Lanruo Temple.

The others also followed to the main hall.

The Buddha statue at Lanruo Temple is so tall that the craftsmen need to spend several days in the temple to complete the reshaping of the Buddha's body. Xu Rui not only bought a lot of gold, ground it into gold powder, and gave it to the craftsmen to reshape the Buddha's body, but also donated a lot of incense money during this visit.

After everything was arranged, Master Wuming saw that it was already noon, so he invited Gulin, Xu Rui, Jiang Xiyu and others to have a vegetarian meal.

With Gulin around, everyone was rather restrained. Except for Xu Rui, no one else really started eating.

Xu Rui glanced at the uneasy Xu Rong and apologized to Gulin, "I was rude at the celebration banquet yesterday. I hope Your Highness the Prince of Qin will not take it personally."

Gulin didn't even raise his head, and said indifferently, "What did Yonglin Hou say? I have forgotten it and don't take it to heart."

Gulin's words were meant to comfort Xu Rong, but when they heard them, they made her feel even more uncomfortable.

Is the King of Qin trying to say that he has never taken her seriously?

She was really blind to think he was handsome. He was just a sickly prince, and it was unknown how long he could live. She didn't care about the position of Princess Qin.

With Gulin around, everyone's vegetarian meal ended hastily.

After dinner, Xu Rui went to meet Master Wuming alone.

"My wife was at Lanruo Temple before, thanks to the Master for taking care of her."

"Amitabha, my Lord, this is too serious. I have not done anything for you, Madam."

Xu Rui was silent for a moment, then asked, "Master, may I ask, is the Buddha of Lanruo Temple truly able to communicate with spirits and enlighten the world?"

Master Wuming knew what he wanted to ask and said seriously, "This is the first time I've seen Madam Hou in this state. Buddha said that sincerity is the key to success. Perhaps Madam Hou was so eager to return alive that the Buddha saw her sincerity and gave her guidance."

Xu Rui was stunned. He was absolutely sure that the news that he was still alive could not be transmitted back to Kyoto in advance, so Jiang Xiyu could not know it in advance.
