Poisonous mushrooms?
"By the way, today's lunch contains mushrooms that we just picked in the back mountain this morning. Could it be that poisonous ones were accidentally mixed in?"
The young novices looked at each other, and one of them immediately remembered, "It seemed that Nanny Huang was shouting about a thief just now. We have been searching for so long but found nothing. Could it be that she was hallucinating after eating poisonous mushrooms?"
The more everyone thought about it, the more reasonable it became, and they did not feel that this farce was intentional.
There was a bit of wisdom in the abbot's eyes. He gave Xia Yunxian a deep look, then came to Xiao Junlan and apologized, "Your Majesty, it was the young monk in the temple who was negligent. Please punish me."
"Abbott's words are serious..."
Xiao Junlan calmed down, and the pale Nanny Huang was quickly taken away.
Fortunately, the movement here did not disturb the pilgrims in the front hall.
"Sister Yunxian is so amazing! Why do you know their plan?" In the deserted yard, Liang Qianqian excitedly held Xia Yunxian's hand. Song Jin'er on the side also looked serious.
"It's important to be on guard against others. At first I was just more cautious. It wasn't until Auntie Huang knocked over Mr. Liang's lunch that I guessed a little bit."
At first, Aunt Huang brought cakes every day to lower their guard. If Xia Yunxian guessed correctly, she helped the young novices wash dishes in the dining room just to find the opportunity to strike.
But later, she found that it was difficult to do anything with the meals in the temple. After all, there were so many pairs of eyes staring at her, so she decided to focus on the dishes and chopsticks.
"Nanny Huang obviously wanted to deal with Sister Yunxian, but why did she get drugged herself?" This is what Liang Qianqian finds magical.
Everyone eats lunch together, so she can't put medicine in the meal. Xia Yunxian had previously ordered Song Jin'er and Liang Qianqian to talk about Princess Xian deliberately while Nanny Huang was setting out the dishes, just to lure her out.
During that gap, Xia Yunxian checked it over and immediately verified his suspicion, so he gave the medicine-coated dishes and chopsticks to Nanny Huang.
Now everyone in Kyoto knows that the eldest son of the Yongding Marquis Mansion treats his wife harshly, and there are many people who support her reconciliation with Liu Chengyu.
If Cen Yurong's plan really fell into this time, I am afraid that public opinion will immediately favor Liu Chengyu and twist the matter into the story that the crown prince's wife is a licentious woman who attracts bees and butterflies everywhere. Before the divorce, she can't wait to drug the young master of the Liang family with the delusion of marrying into the Liang family. !
As a result, her support was gone, her reputation was ruined, and her friendship with the Liang family was completely severed!
After listening to Xia Yunxian's analysis, Liang Qianqian suddenly stared angrily, "Under the Buddha's nose, they dare to use such dirty methods, aren't they afraid of being punished by God?"
Although the Xian Wang couple rarely returns to Beijing, they have a good reputation. Many noble ladies even regard Cen Yurong as a model of a very noble woman. They never expected that such a person could hide such vicious thoughts!
Once Cen Yurong succeeds, Sister Yunxian will not only destroy her reputation. There are many old ladies from high-ranking families in Beijing who believe in Buddhism. If they hear about such blasphemy against Buddhism, Sister Yunxian may not even be able to save her life!
"Why didn't Mrs. Crown Prince expose them directly in front of her adopted brother?" Song Jin'er didn't think much about it. She was angry and guilty. She only felt that Cen Yurong attacked her friends because she hated her.
Xia Yunxian knew what she was thinking at a glance, "Jin'er, don't be impulsive. Just because this is a holy land of Buddhism, you have to keep things quiet. Otherwise, the wise king will be in great trouble."
Moreover, the Duke's wife had a close relationship with the abbot, and she did not want the temple to fall into rumors because of herself.
Song Jin'er understood that the Crown Prince's wife was afraid of bringing trouble to her sworn brother, but what about Cen Yurong?
Didn't she think about it for her adopted brother?
"I didn't expect this poisonous mushroom to be so powerful. It scared me!"
At this time, Liang Yuanyi had come back, but she was still clutching her chest with lingering fear. Just now, the wise king apologized to him in every possible way, which made him feel flattered.
For a bastard like me who has yet to make any achievements, the prince is so polite to the corporal. It's just a misunderstanding and it's really unnecessary.
When he saw the three women in the room looking over, he immediately smiled sheepishly and said, "Did I kick him a little too hard? He is an old man after all."
Xia Yunxian responded with a very gentle smile, "Mr. Liang was shocked."
Liang Yuanyi didn't understand the meaning of her words and looked silly, which made Liang Qianqian beside her more and more worried. Her cousin was not smarter than her, could Jin'er like him?
The playful atmosphere returned to the room, as if nothing had happened.
But Xia Yunxian knew that what Cen Yurong had done would never be brushed off so easily.
…
In Xiao Junlan's carriage, the elegant man closed his eyes lightly. Cen Yurong tightly held the hand in her sleeve, trying to keep herself calm.
Her breathing seemed a little hurried, and the words she had prepared turned over and over in her mind, and finally she couldn't help but say, "Jin'er has been taken care of by Mr. Liang and Miss Liang so much, Yu Rong should give them a big gift to thank them."
They were originally going to take Song Jin'er back together, but the girl said she wanted to take the Duke's carriage.
Before Cen Yurong could sneer in her heart, she heard a calm voice.
"Isn't this gift big enough?"
Xiao Junlan smiled and then raised his eyes to look at her.
Cen Yurong's heart trembled, "What does the prince mean by this? Didn't Madam Prince say that Aunt Huang ate poisonous mushrooms and had such an accident out of control."
It is impossible for Xia Yunxian to know the truth, otherwise she would have complained to the Xian King long ago when she had such a good opportunity. How could they escape unscathed.
"When you heard the noise outside the house, you insisted that it was Mrs. Shizi and Mr. Liang who were together. Why?" Xiao Junlan's eyes gradually turned cold. He had given her a chance, but he didn't expect that she would still choose to give him to him. As a fool.
She is too eager for quick success. The more she wants to get rid of her enemies as soon as possible, the easier it is for her to expose her flaws.
Cen Yurong's expression froze. The prince could even remember that detail so clearly, so he had already doubted himself at that time?
At this moment, a guard on horseback chased to the carriage, "Your Majesty, Aunt Huang lost her footing and fell down the mountain!"
"You, what did you say?!"
Cen Yurong's expression changed drastically, and she couldn't help but lift the curtain, but the next second, a pair of hands tightly clasped her wrist, and the biting coldness made her pupils shrink.
Xiao Junlan's face was like the frosty moon in winter, and her eyes were obscure.
"The Bodhisattva appears and punishes evildoers. Don't you think this temple is very effective?"
"To be buried under this sacred Buddha mountain and wash away her sins, you should be happy for her, right, Yu Rong?"
