"You don't need to tell your mother?" In the carriage, Chu Xun looked at the woman sitting opposite him and felt an unspeakable emotion in his heart.

"Said she can let me run around with you?" Zhang Qingjiu raised his eyes from the book.

Chu Xun smiled and did not dare to talk.

He now understood what it meant: "When she doesn't speak, you will feel that the beauty in the world is nothing more than this; if she speaks, you would rather have nothing better than this beauty in the world."

"Don't worry, I told her that she can just go back before dark." Seeing Chu Xun's expression of concern, Zhang Qingjiu kindly helped him out. After saying that, he put down the book in his hand and touched the soft satin under him.

, then moved the tea cup with the magnet bottom stuck on it, "You guys like to make the carriages extra delicate."

"Huh?" Chu Xun felt that he suddenly found a loophole in Zhang Qingjiu's words, and his eyes suddenly lit up, "Girl, who are we you are talking about?"

You know, if this carriage is as exquisite as theirs, it must be from a wealthy family or a member of the royal family.

Could it be that……

However, Zhang Qingjiu saw through what he was thinking at a glance, "Who else is there besides your royal family?"

Do you want to know who it is? Guess it yourself!

Little fox Chu Xun cursed secretly in his heart and couldn't help but laugh, "It seems that you have a deep connection with the royal family."

"I only know a few of you." Zhang Qingjiu thought for a while, "I know them all through marriage."

Chu Xun was slightly startled, thinking of her marriage to Chu Kuo and the unpleasantness of breaking off the engagement later. She wanted to comfort her a few times, but felt that it was really hypocritical. Finally she smiled and said, "Now that you are in and out of the court, you can be considered a good person."

This is unprecedented and will never be done again.”

"The same goes for renouncing the prince's marriage." Zhang Qingjiu nodded.

The corner of Chu Xun's mouth twitched. Fortunately, he actually thought that she was somewhat sad, and he went out of his way to comfort her! His emotions were entirely his own fault!

"It's okay to talk to me about what you said, but don't just go out and say it." In the end, Chu Xun couldn't help but sigh.

Zhang Qingjiu: "Why?"

"Because..." As soon as Chu Xun said two words, he closed his mouth. After a while, he smiled helplessly and said, "I even told you to call it a lie. The friendship between the two of us is better than that of ordinary people."

Really? Can I still harm you?"

"That's right." Zhang Qingjiu nodded clearly, "But don't worry, as long as you don't tell, no third person will know about it."

Chu Xun:......

Stop talking, I understand! It’s my fault for being too small!

The carriage leisurely rushed to the Palace of Prayer. On the other side of the Prince's Mansion, Mu Qing finished reporting the situation. As soon as he raised his head, he met Chu Lan's deep eyes and hurriedly lowered his head again.

"Your Highness, do you want your subordinates to continue to follow you?" After hesitating, Mu Qing asked cautiously.

"No need." Chu Lan narrowed her eyes.

Mu Qing secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, His Highness was not too concerned about it.

However, what Chu Lan said next, even though Mu Qing had always been calm, was so frightened that it took him a long time to understand what he meant.

"Let the wind stop and prepare the carriage." Chu Lan said.

"Your Highness, it is not a wise choice to go to the Prayer Palace at this time." Mu Qing took a long time to find his voice.

Chu Lan raised her eyebrows and turned to look at him.

Mu Qing gritted his teeth and said, "Then please let Shui Lan follow His Highness."

"No need." Chu Lan didn't look back.

"Your Highness!" Mu Qing stepped forward to stop Chu Lan.

"Mu Qing, you have gone too far." Chu Lan's eyes darkened.

After a long time, Mu Qing moved away from her body, looked at the retreating figure, turned around and raised her eyebrows helplessly.

He tried his best.

From the shadows in the room, a figure slowly stood out, with a more sad look in his eyes.

If Zhang Qingjiu were here right now, he would definitely recognize that this was the woman who almost killed her that night.

It's just that today, except for her face, she is still the same as that night, her figure, height, and even her clothes are roughly similar to Chu Lan's.

"What are you going to do?" Mu Qing's expression changed slightly as he watched Shui Lan walking toward the door.

"Do you still want to stop me?" Shui Lan raised her eyes and snorted coldly, and there was a soft sword in her hand.

The two faced off for a long time, and finally Mu Qing gave way. Looking at her disappearing figures, Mu Qing sighed softly, feeling a little more unspeakable emotions in his heart.

As a secret guard, protecting Chu Lan is her mission and her belief.

But, is it really just that?

The carriage reached halfway up the mountain and could no longer go forward. The two people got out of the carriage. Chu Xun looked at the stone steps in front of him, turned to Zhang Qingjiu and explained, "These are three hundred and thirty-three steps.

, and further up is the Palace of Prayer.”

"I know." Zhang Qingjiu nodded.

Chu Xun then remembered that something happened to her here this year, and immediately raised his eyebrows, "Then follow me. If you want to rest for a while, just tell me."

There were three hundred and thirty stone steps, not too many but certainly not many. Chu Xun walked at an unhurried pace. Every time he passed twenty stone steps, he would look back.

But he found that Zhang Qingjiu always kept a distance of two stone steps from him.

After climbing the three hundred and thirty-three stone steps, Chu Xun had just taken a breath when the sound of footsteps came from behind. The next moment, Zhang Qingjiu was standing behind him.

Chu Xun smiled slightly and said, "Not bad, I thought you weren't good at it."

Halfway through, he secretly speeded up.

Zhang Qingjiu: "I can't do it, it's you who can't do it."

Chu Xun's smile instantly froze on his face.

But looking at Zhang Qingjiu's serious look, Chu Xun couldn't find any evidence that she was scolded, so he had to change the subject and said: "In front of you is the Palace of Prayer, and the collapsed areas are on the east and south sides. There are no

Let people clean it up, I'm afraid it will still be in ruins, so be careful."

"There were no casualties." Zhang Qingjiu narrowed his eyes.

Chu Xun nodded and walked towards the south, "Yes, fortunately there were no casualties."

After a pause, he said happily, "So this is also a blessing among misfortunes, and it deserves to be a blessing palace."

"As expected of the Palace of Prayer?" Zhang Qingjiu raised his eyebrows.

"Why, I don't seem to agree with what you said?" Chu Xun stopped and frowned.

He is a member of the royal family after all.

Zhang Qingjiu narrowed his eyes and revealed a sarcastic curve at the corner of his mouth.

The Palace of Prayer is a blessed place. This is the least funny joke she has ever heard today.

The last time she was here, she had just come to another world, her soul was in a state of turmoil, and her five spirits had not yet been fully opened, so she didn't notice anything strange.

And this time...

Whose blessed land would set up strange formations in all directions and build 333 landing steps to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and harvest the luck of the world?

Using this method that goes against the law of heaven to gather the energy of the dragon veins can indeed prosper for three hundred years, but after three hundred years, this place will definitely be in ruins, and the dragon veins will be completely destroyed.

At that time, the royal family will no longer exist and the world will be in chaos!
