Early the next morning, it was just dawn.
Because the sun was high yesterday, even if it snowed, the snow layer today was thinner.
But when the snow melts, it is colder than the snow. This is common sense in life.
The ruins of Qingyun Temple.
After a night of searching, Ye Yan's whereabouts were finally found. More than an hour ago, Ye Yan's destination out of the city was identified as Qingyun Temple.
Lin Xianyu was wearing a pure white skirt and stood on the ruins.
Coupled with her beautiful face, she formed a strong contrast with the dilapidated scene around her.
The calmness of time shown on her body made it seem like she shouldn't be in this kind of place.
But not only did she appear, but what she was doing was also inexplicably heart-wrenching.
"Miss, you haven't slept all night, why don't you go back and take a rest first." Mingyu, who was standing next to Lin Xianyu, couldn't help but say.
Lin Xianyu shook her head and said, "It's okay, I'm not sleepy."
Mingyu sighed quietly.
Although this was her first formal contact with Lin Xianyu, she could tell.
Miss Lin from Tai Tufu's Palace, who has been famous in the imperial city for a long time, is the kind of person who has a very upright idea. As long as something is determined, she will stick to her own opinion no matter how big or small, unless someone can convince her with a reason that she recognizes.
This was completely different from her lazy Highness, who had no ideas at all in his daily life and would even follow the advice of her little palace maid.
But when it comes to some things, no matter whether they are reasonable or not, they are stubborn as hell and will never listen to advice.
At this point, she felt that His Highness should have someone like Miss Lin by his side.
But Your Highness, where are you now? Come out quickly, Mingyu really wants to go back to the palace and sleep.
Lin Xianyu didn't sleep all night, and Mingyu never had time to sleep.
Although she didn't want to admit it, she knew very well in her heart that she was very worried after knowing that something might have happened to His Highness.
This kind of worry is not the kind of concern that a young palace maid would have for His Royal Highness, but more like that of a family member.
During the short period of time spent with His Highness, she experienced the family affection that she had lost for a long time because she entered the palace since she was a child.
In Mingyu's silence, another corpse was carried out by the imperial guards arranged by Ye Chen to protect Mingyu and Lin Xianyu.
This corpse, like the corpses found before, was in an extremely horrific death state and could not be easily identified.
It can only be seen from the clothes that have not been completely burned that this person may be a Taoist priest.
Under Mingyu's gaze, the body was placed in front of Lin Xianyu.
Lin Xianyu knelt down and touched the body with his hand expressionlessly.
It could be seen from her rummaging movements that she was trying to identify the body through subtle details.
After getting the information she wanted, she stood up and nodded to the guards: "Please bury this body as well."
The body was found, then passed through Lin Xianyu's hands, and finally buried in the pit.
This is a process that every corpse goes through.
Mingyu didn't understand at first why Miss Lin wanted to collect the bodies of these Taoist priests from Qingyun Temple.
When she thought about it, since His Highness had lost his trace in Qingyun Temple, Qingyun Temple had also been reduced to ruins in one day.
Then the disappearance of His Highness must be related to the Taoist priests of Qingyun Temple.
In this case, it would be best if these corpses were exposed in the wilderness.
But Miss Lin convinced her of her idea with just one sentence.
To use Miss Lin's original words.
No matter what happened in Qingyun Temple yesterday, no matter what these dead Taoist priests of Qingyun Temple did.
Death is like a lamp going out, and all cause and effect will have nothing to do with them.
Collecting their bodies for them is not for anyone else, just because it is human nature.
After watching the body being carried away, Mingyu persuaded again: "Miss, these are obviously not your Highness's..."
The last two words didn't come out, so she quickly covered her mouth, then sighed twice before continuing: "Your Highness will definitely be fine. Miss, you don't need to personally verify every corpse.
His Highness often says that the person he admires most is you, the eldest lady.
If you, the eldest lady, fall ill when His Highness comes back, Your Highness will be worried. "
Lin Xianyu did not answer Mingyu's words, but calmly analyzed: "This is the rear of Qingyun Temple, which must be where the immortals of Qingyun Temple refine elixirs, as the people said.
But from the current scene, it can be seen that it is not a man-made sabotage. Manpower cannot and does not have the energy to turn these wood into pieces.
The alchemy furnace used to refine the elixir has also become torn apart.
So what is certain is that something that cannot be understood by the Taoist priests of Qingyun Temple and us must have happened while refining the alchemy.
His Highness must have had his own purpose in coming to Qingyun Temple.
If His Highness was present when an accident occurred, based on my understanding of His Highness, such a thing that no one can understand would most likely be led by His Highness.
With His Highness's intelligence and Amaranth's alertness, under such circumstances, the two of them would be safe no matter what. "
At this point, she changed the subject and said: "Miss Mingyu, go to the Qingyun Temple Gate to see if Xiaoxiao has brought news from the Imperial City.
Is there any news about the surviving Taoist priests of Qingyun Temple? These disappeared Taoist priests of Qingyun Temple must know something. "
After seeing the situation at Qingyun Temple, Xiaoxiao was arranged by her to return to the imperial city as a way to communicate with Ye Chen, Ye Yan, Lin Xianyu and her.
After listening to Lin Xianyu's analysis, Mingyu breathed a long sigh of relief.
As long as His Highness is fine, she doesn't care much about anything else.
"Okay, Miss." Mingyu trotted away and headed towards the Qingyun Temple Gate.
After Mingyu left, Lin Xianyu turned around and looked at the ruins.
Her analysis was well-founded, and her rationality told her that things would most likely be what she thought.
But until she saw that person smiling and calling her "Miss" in front of her, she still couldn't help but worry.
Unless she did something, her heart would not be as peaceful as before.
Some things can only be guesses, no matter how well-founded they are, until they are thoroughly confirmed.
on the other side.
The land of peach blossoms.
Ye Yan's door was pushed open directly. There was only one person in Peach Blossom Land who could do this, and that was Lin Ranyu.
She was holding a tray in her hand, and the bowl was steaming.
Hearing Ye Yan's steady breathing, she put the tray on the table, then walked to the bed, raised her hand and gave the edge of the bed a slap.
In an instant, the whole bed shook violently.
This woke up Ye Yan who was sleeping soundly.
"There's an earthquake." He shouted, got out of bed and put on his shoes, all at once.
If I didn't have this experience several times, I would never be able to be so proficient.
