The king is a disabled doctor, the court is in chaos, and the princess carries a gun and kills peopl

Looking down, she made a new discovery.

The old woman was actually wearing a jade pendant around her neck. The jade pendant looked crystal clear and exquisitely crafted, so it must be worth a lot of money.

She pulled it off without thinking.

Don't want it for nothing.

"Sister, that's mine..."

The little civet cat on the side suddenly said in surprise.

The little girl cried and laughed with joy, and when she woke up half-conscious, she was taken home by the black-hearted boss. She discussed with her husband to keep her by his side first, because they heard that raising a picked-up girl could bring her pregnancy.

She planned to keep her in the store to do hard labor for a while, and then sell her to a brothel when she had her own child.

When the proprietress saw the jade pendant on her neck, she took it off and kept it for herself.

Nangong Qing smiled. This old woman must have come here today to return the jade pendant on her own initiative!

It must be returned to its original owner! She took out a piece of alcohol cotton from the space and carefully wiped the jade pendant. Then she helped the little cat wear the jade pendant around its neck.

This jade pendant is exquisitely crafted and very valuable. It might be a token of trust given to the child by her parents, so that they can find her family in the future.

"Stop whining! This is the only way for pilgrims to enter and exit Taohua Temple and Nianci Temple. Someone will rescue you sooner or later.

Sparing you a life is already the greatest blessing for you! Remember to do good deeds and accumulate virtue in the future, otherwise I will come looking for you again! If I find you doing evil again, it will be more than just a broken rib..."

Nangong Qing smiled, clapped his hands, and took the little civet cat and Bai Lianyi to rush towards Taohua Temple.

Not far away, on the official road leading to Taohua Temple, there were bursts of noisy sounds of drums and gongs. Looking over, I was immediately shocked.

It turned out to be a royal procession!

"It looks quite lively here. There's even a Golden Phoenix procession over there! Could it be that Lv Shufang has also come to Peach Blossom Temple to pray?"

Bai Lianyi said softly.

There are two passages leading from the foot of the mountain to Taohua Temple. One is the official road reserved for the royal family, and the other is the only way for ordinary people to enter the mountain.

Compared with the spacious and convenient royal passage, the tree-lined path that Nangong Qing and others walked on was winding and quite difficult to walk on.

If Bai Lianyi hadn't taken the initiative to carry the little civet cat towards the temple, I'm afraid the child would not be able to walk at all.

"When Prince Yu achieves great things, he must abolish the royal patent! They only come a few times a year, yet they occupy the wide road. Is there any fairness in this?"

Nangong Qing frowned and looked at Bai Lianyi who was carrying the little civet cat on his back and said indignantly.

The class divisions of this era are really too extreme. The royal family eats well, lives well, and even has to walk on wide and flat roads. Does that mean ordinary people deserve to suffer? It's really unfair!

Don’t they understand that water can carry a boat, but can also capsize it?

"Second sister-in-law, you're joking. As the princess, your words naturally carry more weight than those of us brothers. Just say it yourself. Why beat around the bush..."

Bai Lianyi laughed out loud, and suddenly his eyes lit up. He had made a new discovery.

"Tsk, it really is Lv Shufang. That's strange. It's not a festival, so why would she come to Taohua Temple?"

Bai Lianyi was not only an expert in Qinggong, but also possessed exceptional vision, earning him the reputation of clairvoyance. He looked in the direction of the Golden Phoenix procession and immediately spotted Lv Shufang.

Tsk, this is lively. Today's trip to Taohua Temple was really worth it.

According to the custom of the Great Yan Kingdom, the queen would only come to Taohua Temple to offer sacrifices and burn incense during major festivals. Now that it is neither a festival nor a New Year's Day, it is really unbelievable that she would make such a big fuss and go into the mountains.

As the saying goes, when things go wrong, there must be a monster.

Now that we've met, I have to take a closer look to see what she's up to.

The reason why Lu Shufang came to Taohua Temple with such fanfare was naturally not just to burn incense.

Because of the revengeful ghost of Tian Wanyue, Aunt Dowager Lu has become a mentally disabled person, and she keeps shouting in the Cining Palace all day long that Tian Wanyue has come back to take her life.

Even though she ordered all the maids and eunuchs in the Cining Palace not to talk about this matter and to kill them without mercy if they were discovered, this matter had already become an open secret in the palace.

The story became increasingly bizarre. Some said that at night, the Cining Palace would become chilly and that women's cries could be heard from time to time. A ghost with disheveled hair and a white robe would haunt the place, constantly crying out for justice.

Prince Jiajing summoned her specially for this matter, asked her about the details of Tian Wanyue's burial, and talked to her about Tian Wanyue's life.

Perhaps because of a guilty conscience, she'd been feeling a constant sense of being watched lately. Even lying on her bed in Kunning Palace at night, she could faintly hear a woman crying. The series of events had left her feeling unsettled.

She hadn't slept well for several days. In addition, Li Zhenting had received the order from Prince Jiajing and was ready to reopen the coffin to perform a ritual for the late Queen Tian. She became even more uneasy.

She was worried that the events of the past would be exposed, but Empress Dowager Lu, who had always been in charge of the overall situation, was now completely disabled. Lu Pei'an was just a dull-witted and reckless man who couldn't come up with any ideas.

She told Prince Jiajing that strange things were happening in the palace. The Imperial Astronomical Observatory had investigated and reported that evil spirits were rampant, threatening the Empress Dowager. She was so worried that she volunteered to come to Taohua Temple to pray for the Empress Dowager's speedy recovery.

Of course, coming to pray for blessings was fake, but coming to discuss corresponding strategies with him was real.

When Tian Wanyue passed away, she asked the eminent monk Master Yuanzhen to perform a ritual to trap Tian Wanyue's soul, so that she would never be reborn. How could she suddenly come out and cause trouble?

Empress Lü Shufang, who was worried and worried, was on her mind all the way. The haggard and sad face that had not slept for many days was too obvious.

Naturally, she did not notice Nangong Qing and others who had disguised themselves and entered the mountain from the small path at almost the same time as her.

After Empress Lu entered the temple, she immediately asked all her followers to leave, even the nanny who usually stayed by her side was asked to leave.

As soon as she and Abbot Yuan Zhen were the only ones left in the room, she didn't even have time to take off her yellow golden phoenix cloak before she threw herself into Yuan Zhen's arms.

"Fang'er looks haggard, why is that?"

Monk Yuanzhen had completely lost his usual composure and hugged Empress Lu tightly in his arms.

After all, for the sake of the greater cause, the two had already agreed that before King Qi ascended the throne, they must restrain themselves and not meet unless necessary to avoid complications.

Now that Lu Shufang has come uninvited, I'm afraid something big is going to happen.

"Aunt is being pursued by Tian Wanyue's ghost, and now she's become a disabled person, unable to take care of herself. And Ting'er's arch-enemy, Li Zhenting, is making a big fuss about this incident and will rebury Tian Wanyue on a chosen day. I'm afraid that what happened back then can no longer be preserved..."

Lu Shufang looked at Yuan Zhen with tears in her eyes.

Back then, she and Yuan Zhen were childhood sweethearts who had sworn to marry each other. However, they had to part ways because of Empress Dowager Lu's ambition.

She arranged for Yuan Zhen to become a monk in Taohua Temple. With her help, he was intelligent and motivated by nature. After more than ten years, he successfully became the abbot of Taohua Temple.

They originally thought that by getting rid of Tian Wanyue and successfully making Li Huating the current crown prince, their efforts would be worth it.

However, I never expected that the situation would change suddenly one after another. If I don’t find a way to control the situation, I’m afraid I will become more and more passive in the future!
