Chapter 416 Meeting
The guards followed Murong Xu out in single file, and the little white fox was also taken away by them.
Shen Yao, who was invisible, hurriedly followed, preparing to make her move when the opportunity arose.
As Guan Guan walked past the flower bed, she looked back. Murong Xu stopped and asked, "What are you looking at?"
Guan Guan pointed at the little white fox and said, "Brother Xu, I have never seen such a beautiful white fox..."
She opened her beautiful, large eyes and waited tenderly for the prince's response.
When Murong Xu presented the white fox to the beautiful woman, he generously replied, "If you like it, it's yours. I'm giving it to you."
Guan Guan thanked the Crown Prince shyly and let Chun Tao take the little white fox and hold it.
Murong Xu took Guan Guan for a stroll around the temple, ate a vegetarian meal, and debated Buddhist scriptures with the abbot.
When Zhou Quan returned to report, he said, "Your Highness, after this servant and Prince Xuan finished supervising the execution, that unruly servant couldn't withstand the beating. This servant used medicine to keep her alive until she was on her last breath, and then had the guards take her out of the temple to be dealt with."
Murong Xu chanted Amitabha: "In the end, someone still died. Fortunately, the pure land of Buddhism was not defiled."
The abbot understood the implied meaning and put his hands together, saying, "Amitabha, everyone has their own destiny, Your Highness need not blame yourself."
He is intelligent, the abbot is sensible, and all the monks in the temple keep quiet.
Murong Xu then set off to leave.
A large group of people left the temple and descended the mountain along the Thousand Steps.
The Crown Prince's carriage was waiting at the foot of the mountain, as was the Prince Xuan's carriage.
Murong Xu saw the carriage of Prince Xuan's residence from afar and knew that the Ninth Prince had not left yet.
When false accusations and provocations fail, there are other tricks up their sleeves.
He walked past calmly and tried to help Guan Guan into the carriage.
“Your Majesty.” Prince Xuan appeared at an inopportune moment and stopped her, saying, “Miss Qin and Your Majesty are not yet married, so it is not appropriate for them to ride in the same carriage. I have brought a spare carriage, which you may borrow.”
Murong Xu raised his chin and looked at him: "In the middle of nowhere, Ninth Brother is meddling quite a bit."
Prince Xuan could barely maintain his respectful facade: "Yesterday, my father discussed my marriage with my mother and told her that he would definitely bestow upon me a well-behaved noblewoman."
“Your Majesty, I am worried that if my fifth sister-in-law oversteps her bounds in the future, she will be disliked by Father.”
When they arrived, Murong Xu picked up Guan Guan from the Zhenguo General's Mansion, and they rode together in one carriage.
He encountered Prince Xuan on the way, but he didn't say anything about overstepping his bounds.
On the way back, the ninth brother actually used their father, the Emperor, to pressure him.
Murong Xu still helped Guan Guan into the carriage: "Guan Guan was frightened today, I will explain to Father Emperor."
"Miss Qin," Prince Xuan called to Guan Guan in a drawn-out voice, "As the Crown Prince, Your Majesty should consider your future Crown Princess's needs in everything."
Their faces are despicable.
Guan Guan was not afraid of any schemes or tricks he might use.
"Your Highness, Guan Guan can ride in the spare carriage."
She was gentle and polite, and her eyes seemed to speak volumes, filled with concern for the Crown Prince's reputation.
She is truly a stunning beauty.
Such a beauty, even if she wasn't the legitimate daughter of the Qin family, Murong Xu would still want to take her into his household.
After a moment's thought, the Crown Prince said, "Chuntao, sit with your young lady."
He casually pointed to two guards and said, "Guard Miss Qin well. If anything happens to her, you will be brought back to me with your heads."
"Subordinates take orders."
Both guards were loyal retainers of the Crown Prince's residence, so they naturally understood the Crown Prince's meaning.
Miss Qin is extremely important to the Crown Prince; they must protect her even at the cost of their lives.
If we cannot protect her, then we will kill Miss Qin to preserve her innocence.
The crown prince must not bear any disgrace, nor can his fiancée.
The red-gold wheels slowly started moving. Chun Tao sat outside the carriage, and Shen Yao seized the opportunity to slip into the carriage. Chun Tao only felt a gust of wind lift the carriage curtain.
Fortunately, Shen Yao's divine-level Qi Concealment Technique had reached the mid-stage of mastery, allowing her to remain invisible for up to two hours.
Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll be exposed outside and treated like a monster.
She got into the carriage and settled in, then revealed herself.
Tu Xiaoxiao immediately jumped from her seat onto Shen Yao.
She and Guan Guan made a shushing gesture to each other, took out paper and pen, and began writing with Guan Guan.
Guan Guan wrote on the paper: 'They'll probably send me straight back to the General's Mansion, but I have a gut feeling there's a conspiracy.'
Shen Yao replied: 'Don't be afraid, I can protect you.'
The two sisters exchanged words quickly.
Today, Guan Guan accompanied the Crown Prince to the Royal Mountain Temple to pray for blessings.
During this time, when the crown prince was away on business, a monk led her to the Prajna Hall to worship Buddha.
Halfway there, the guards left for her by the Crown Prince got into a dispute with the guards of Prince Xuan's residence.
The two sides argued endlessly. Since they were both grown men, Guan Guan didn't want to get involved, so she took Chun Tao and followed the monk to the Buddhist hall first.
Unexpectedly, the monk turned out to be a fake monk, and another burly man was lying in ambush inside the hall.
Chun Tao screamed in fright and desperately stood in front of Guan Guan.
There was no one outside the Prajna Hall, and their screams and cries did not attract any rescue.
Guan Guan immediately dropped her pretense. She took out a long sword from her system space and killed the madman in two moves.
Chun Tao was terrified. Her young lady was so fierce... and where did that knife come from...?
Guan Guan quickly took out a set of clothes from the system space: "Chun Tao, wipe away the bloodstains, change your clothes, and go out to stand guard. Before the Crown Prince arrives, do not let anyone in."
Chun Tao shakily wiped away the bloodstains, changed her clothes, and went out to guard the gate with trembling legs.
Guan Guan looked at the two corpses and was at a loss.
Her system space was very small and couldn't store much, and it was already full, so there was no way to fit two corpses in it.
She suddenly remembered the task reward the system had given her a couple of days ago.
The reward is three teleportation scrolls. The system says that the teleportation scrolls are bound to the plane where Yao Niang is currently located, and each scroll can be used twice, with each use lasting half a quarter of an hour.
She made a decisive move and tried to throw the two corpses over.
She used the talisman while chanting the incantation. After she finished chanting, a blue light gate appeared in the room.
She went in first to check the situation, and unexpectedly saw Yao Niang.
"Yao Niang!" Guan Guan shouted excitedly, rushed forward, grabbed Shen Yao's hand, and dragged her into the portal: "Don't say anything, Yao Niang, come with me!"
Fearing that Yao Niang would disappear when she returned to retrieve the body, she first pulled her into the portal.
Yao Niang's companions also came along.
The moment Shen Yao saw the beautiful woman and heard her call her Yao Niang, memories of Yao Niang from her previous life flashed through her mind like a fleeting mountain.
She recognized her; the stunningly beautiful woman before her was none other than Guan Guan.
Therefore, when Guan Guan grabbed her hand, she did not resist and followed her into the blue light portal without thinking.
Guan Guan came out and immediately started moving the body: "Yao Niang, quick, help me move the body inside."
As she dragged the dead monk by the legs, preparing to dispose of the body, the blue portal vanished.
Guan Guan was shocked: "This...this...how did it disappear! Wasn't it supposed to be half an hour?"
She asked the system in her mind, and the system only replied: 'The spatial energy fluctuations are unstable. Please use with caution.'
What a mess! Luckily, she pulled Yao Niang back in time.
Guan Guan was extremely anxious: "What should we do, what should we do? His Highness the Crown Prince will be here soon..."
Shen Yao waved her hand and put the two corpses into her storage ring, then used a cleaning spell to remove the bloodstains.
Guan Guan asked in surprise, "Yao Niang, do you still remember me?"
Shen Yao nodded: "When I saw you just now, I remembered everything. You are Guan Guan."
Guan Guan was overjoyed and rushed forward to hug Shen Yao: "That's great, Yao Niang, we meet again."
