Chapter 39 Miscent
"It all depends on the old lady's arrangements." Song Ruyu had no independent opinion, so naturally she would do whatever the old lady said.
Aunt Liu and others had no objections. They were able to come here because they were invited by the old lady. After living in the palace for the past few days, they more or less understood the situation in the palace. Neither the old lady nor Lan Qingruo liked Shen. Xinyue, she was also happy to see this scene.
Shen Xinyue didn't want to go, but she had no choice but to take one step at a time, and wait until the soldiers came to cover up the water and earth.
In the evening, Shen Xinyue packed some clothes in the house to prepare for the temple trip.
Seeing this, Huo Weilou also came to help her clean up.
"Why are you here?" Shen Xinyue was confused.
"Ahem, I can't bear to see you busy alone, so I'm here to help you. Why didn't Si Qi help?" Huo Weilou's eyes wavered and he decided to change the topic.
When Si Qi was mentioned, Shen Xinyue's eyes lit up and she smiled and said: "I asked Si Qi to buy some snacks. We can only eat vegetarian food in the temple. I am greedy and I will definitely not be used to it there. But don't worry, they are all Some sweets and pastries.”
"Okay." Huo Weilou silently noted in his mind that Shen Xinyue would eat some candies and pastries in his spare time.
Shen Xinyue packed her things, and Si Qi also returned to the house at this time.
"My servant has met the prince and the princess." Si Qi saluted at the door. After getting Huo Weilou's permission, he entered the house and spread out the purchased snacks on the table for Shen Xinyue to take a look.
"Yes, they are all my favorite food." Shen Xinyue was in a good mood.
Huo Weilou waved his hand, signaling Si Qi to go down.
Si Qi quickly exited the room and closed the door thoughtfully to create a space for the two of them to be alone. Huo Weilou was very satisfied with Si Qi and was thinking about whether he should give Si Qi more monthly money.
"When I go to the temple tomorrow, I won't be here. Please pay more attention to the actions of the old lady and Lan Qingruo, and don't let them plot against you." Huo Weilou warned.
He has already ordered the secret guards under his command to follow Shen Xinyue when the time comes, watching every move of those people for her to protect Shen Xinyue's safety.
The second day.
A group of female relatives went to Hounji Temple in Tempozan, a suburb.
The abbot of the temple had received the letter from the old princess. As soon as everyone arrived, the abbot sent someone to take them to the arranged room.
By coincidence, Shen Xinyue's room was right next to Lan Qingruo's room, and their rooms were right next to each other. The old princess's room was on the other side of Lan Qingruo's room.
Shen Xinyue cried out bad luck in her heart.
In line with the principle of ignoring others unless they offend me, Shen Xinyue ignored them and took Siqi into the room.
Song Ruyu and her personal maid also entered her room, which was on the other side of Shen Xinyue. Next to it was the room of Aunt Liu, Shen Fengjiao and others.
Lan Qingruo came to the door of Shen Xinyue's house and smiled gently: "Sister Shen, I brought some food. The journey up the mountain is difficult. Sister must be hungry, right?"
"I'm really hungry, Si Qi." Shen Xinyue sneered in her heart, Lan Qingruo couldn't sit still now?
The food Lan Qingruo brought was just some snacks, which were good for filling the stomach. However, these were cooked by the cooks in the palace. Shen Xinyue had eaten a lot in the palace and was tired of them.
What's more, she didn't dare to eat what Lan Qingruo gave her. Who knew if there were any ingredients added to it? If she got sick from eating, who could she ask to reason?
Si Qi took out the snacks she bought specially last night from the cloth bag and handed them to Shen Xinyue.
The dim sum made by the shop outside is not only exquisite in appearance, but also tastes as good as the chefs in the palace. More importantly, the dim sum in this shop is restricted. If you are a few minutes late, you will not be able to buy his dim sum.
Si Qi also took the name of the regent and asked the cook to cook some.
"This is... Jiangnanfang's dim sum?" Lan Qingruo's eyes widened. She also wanted to buy Jiangnanfang's dim sum yesterday, but was told that it was sold out, so she had no choice but to ask the palace chef to make dim sum at night.
"My sister has really good eyesight." Shen Xinyue took a piece of osmanthus cake and put it into her mouth. The fragrance spread in her mouth and the osmanthus cake melted in her mouth.
But Shen Xinyue made no move to feed Lan Qingruo.
Lan Qingruo had no choice but to leave Shen Xinyue's room bitterly.
Si Qi felt secretly happy when he saw this scene.
When she was buying cakes in Jiangnanfang last night, she saw the secret guard of Huo Weilou. She knew early in the morning that Jiangnanfang was Huoweilou's property, but no one except a few trusted people knew about it.
Huo Wei downstairs ordered the cook to make cakes for Si Qi to take back, and Lan Qingruo was not allowed to buy cakes.
In less than a moment of burning incense, the people from the temple brought dinner.
Lan Qingruo happened to come to Shen Xinyue's house again.
"Sister Shen, the food in this temple is too vegetarian. I wonder if my sister can still get used to it?" Lan Qingruo looked as weak and gentle as usual.
Shen Xinyue raised her eyebrows, "Of course I'm used to it."
If you can't get used to it, you can't listen to it. Otherwise, what if it reaches the ears of those monks and gives her little shoes?
"As long as sister is used to it." Lan Qingruo nodded to herself, then her eyes fell on Shen Xinyue's dinner, "Why is sister's food different from my mother's and mine?"
The food is different? Shen Xinyue couldn't help but take a closer look at the dishes on the table.
"Is it possible that my sister eats better than me?" Shen Xinyue smiled half-heartedly and looked Lan Qingruo up and down.
The only people who can take action against him here are the old princess and Lan Qingruo.
Although Aunt Liu and others have a grudge against her, they have no say in Baoyun Temple, and no one will take action on her behalf.
Lan Qingruo smiled without knowing why, "Of course her food is not as good as my sister's."
"Isn't it normal that I eat better than you? I am the princess and you are just a wife." Shen Xinyue raised her eyebrows.
After Shen Xinyue and Lan Qingruo exchanged a few words, they issued an eviction order.
Lan Qingruo said a bunch of specious things, just shy of saying there was something wrong with the food, but Shen Xinyue didn't think so on the surface.
After Lan Qingruo left, Shen Xinyue asked Si Qi to check the food, but found that everything was normal and there was no problem.
"If Lan Qing wants to eat, why do you want to come to me?" Shen Xinyue was already hungry. She quickly finished the food on the table and invited Si Qi to join her.
But the food is normal, which is the biggest problem.
Lan Qingruo was not someone who would come to say hello for no reason, especially since she kept bringing the topic to the food.
All rooms in the temple will light incense, and Shen Xinyue's room is no exception.
All the incense burned in the temple smelled of sandalwood. Shen Xinyue had been to the temple before. But the incense in her room was not sandalwood.
"Si Qi, is the incense burned in my room the same incense burned in Baoyun Temple on weekdays?" Shen Xinyue has not been to the temple since she traveled through time, so she didn't find the problem and could only ask Si Qi.
Si Qi came to the place where the incense burner was placed, smelled it carefully, and said with an expression on his face: "Princess, this is not the incense that Baoyun Temple usually lights. I once came to Baoyun Temple to pray for the prince, and all the incense in Baoyun Temple is Sandalwood, although this fragrance has a hint of sandalwood, it is also mixed with other flavors."
Shen Xinyue had a sullen face, picked up the incense ash with her hands, smelled it carefully, and came to a conclusion in her heart.
"Siqi, this is Mixiang!"
"It's just that the content is small, the onset is very slow, and it's not easy for people to notice. It will only make people fall in love with the incense invisibly." Shen Xinyue snorted coldly and put out the incense.
"Lan Qingruo has grown a brain this time, and he knows how to disturb my sight and make me focus on the dinner that he didn't tamper with, but tampered with the incense burner. It's a pity that he has a brain, but he doesn't. many."
Si Qi looked worried: "Princess, what should we do?"
Shen Xinyue did not answer in a hurry. After pondering for a moment, she made a decision. "Let's wait and see what happens. Siqi, go and replace this incense burner with the one in Lan Qingruo's room."
"Since she was poisoned by the incense, we naturally have to treat her in the same way as she is treated!"
Shen Xinyue has always followed the principle of not offending others unless they offend me.
After Si Qi agreed, he took the incense burner and climbed out of the window. At this time, Lan Qingruo went to the old lady's room to have a meal together, and there was no one in the room.
Si Qi skillfully climbed through the window and entered the house, changed the incense burner, and lit the incense that had just been extinguished.
The attentive Si Qi also checked the two incense burners, and after confirming that there was no difference between the two incense burners, he returned to Shen Xinyue's house.
"Princess, everything is done. The incense burner in her room is the same as ours. She won't be able to find it if she changes the incense burner." Si Qi reported.
Shen Xinyue nodded with satisfaction.
The night gradually deepened, and Shen Xinyue saw that nothing happened, so she left only her inner clothes and went to bed.
But Shen Xinyue had just entered the bed, and before she could close her eyes, two burly men swaggered in from the front door.
Shen Xinyue's expression changed, "Si Qi!"
Si Qi was always vigilant, holding the broom in the corner in his hand and waving it towards the heads of the two of them.
Huo Weilou arranged for two secret guards to protect Shen Xinyue. The moment the two big men opened the door, the secret guards also appeared and came to the house. They instantly subdued the two big men and knocked them unconscious.
"My subordinate is late. The princess is frightened. Please punish her!" The secret guard knelt on the ground with his head lowered, like a child who had done something wrong.
Shen Xinyue waved her hand: "Get up. Did Huo Weilou arrange for you to protect me?"
"It was the prince who ordered his subordinates to protect the safety of the princess."
"There is no need to kneel down. I was not frightened. I had already guessed that someone would come and was prepared."
The secret guard's attacks were gentle and not heavy. It won't take long for these two people to wake up.
A cold light flashed in Shen Xinyue's eyes: "Send them to Lan Qingruo's room so that no one finds out."
The secret guard works beside Huo Weilou all the year round, and he does everything in a flawless manner, and does everything Shen Xinyue tells him perfectly.
After doing this, the secret guard followed the night, disappeared into the night. But Shen Xinyue felt a lot more at ease at this time, because she already knew that there were two people protecting her safety.
Thinking of this, Shen Xinyue still felt a touch of sweetness and warmth in her heart. Huo Weilou did things well and was very reliable.
The people from the temple and Grandma Li who was beside the old princess brought seven or eight people over and knocked on the door of the courtyard.
"Mommy, what's the matter with your late night visit?" Si Qi went to open the door.
"We just saw two sneaky people coming over, so we came to ask you." Nanny Li said, but her eyes kept glancing into the room, as if she wanted to see Shen Xinyue's disheveled appearance.
Shen Xinyue had already put on her robes neatly. She could not go out to meet guests with her inner clothes on. After all, this was ancient times. When the secret guards came just now, she was in bed, so it was nothing serious.
"Mommy, who would keep looking outside in the middle of the night? Of course they are sleeping in the house." As soon as Shen Xinyue came, she sneered at Nanny Li.
Aunt Li had a bad premonition, so why weren't the two of them in Shen Xinyue's room? Why didn't Shen Xinyue fall in love with the incense?
Shen Xinyue understood at a glance that these people were arranged by Lan Qingruo to catch the traitor! Since Lan Qingruo arranged the people, she took advantage of them without mercy.
