Seeing his anxiousness, I didn't hide it. I told him everything I heard from the store. As Yao Lao heard it, his brows gradually frowned, and even the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes became deeper.

After I finished speaking, he clenched his fists hard, and after a while, he said in a deep voice: "What is she going to do?"

“…”

Lao Yao looked up at me: "She, what did she say? After eating that meal, she stopped eating meat."

“…”

"She, is she going to go-to become a monk?"

“…”

I sat there and didn't say anything.

In fact, when I heard the store say that, I also had such suspicion in my heart.

Nangong Lizhu, unlike me, no matter how desperate I am, I still have a daughter, and I still have too many people and things I can’t let go; she is different from Chang Qing, Chang Qing carries the responsibility and burden of the mother of the world; she is different from Yang Jinqiao, Yang Jinqiao also has the heavy responsibilities of a whole family; even - she is different from Yunxiang, Yunxiang still has her own career, even if she loses everything, she also has a Qingyun Embroidery House as her spiritual pillar.

Nangong Lizhu... She has no chance to have children. All her "homes" in the past have long been broken in her world. Her only reliance is love. It can even be said that she lives for the word "love". But now, she has left behind those two poems that almost accuse the emperor of being heartless, that is, in her heart, she has completely despaired about Pei Yuanhao and the relationship between them.

This blow was fatal to her.

With her heart and nature, I was not surprised at all.

But when I think about it this way, I can't help feeling sad. After all, she was once the most beautiful woman in the world envied by everyone in the Celestial Empire. If the final outcome of such a woman is really the ancient Buddha's green lamp to spend the rest of her life, let alone men, even I, a woman, would feel sorry.

Lao Yao looked at me anxiously: "Miss Yan, do you think she will really become a monk?"

Looking at the old man's worried look, I hurriedly said, "Don't worry, you always have to do it. This is Qingtang City, but unlike the prosperous places in the Central Plains, it is easy to check the temples here. His Majesty the Emperor said just now that he will definitely find her!"

Yao Lao said, "What I'm worried about is, if she leaves here again, where should we look for it?"

I shook my head: "I don't think she will leave again."

“…”

"This is probably the end of her journey."

Lao Yao looked at me for a while and sighed: "You still understand her."

I smiled faintly and said, "I just don't understand a little bit. If she really wants to become a monk, there are too many places she can go, so why do she just come here?"

When Yao Lao heard this, he immediately asked, "Why?"

"I don't understand this either," I smiled bitterly: "Now, I just hope to find her one day earlier."

As I said that, I looked at him worriedly: "Qinghan's body--"

Yao Lao said, "Don't worry, with me here, I won't let him die so easily!"

I said, "Then I'm relieved. I'm just worried that Concubine Nangong has decided and is not so easy to persuade him to come back."

Yao Lao looked at me: "Emperor--"

"It's hard for outsiders to interfere in their affairs," I thought for a while and said, "But I believe that if the emperor said that he would find her back, he would definitely find her back. Don't worry."

"……Um."

He hesitated and nodded gently.

After Yao Lao left, I asked the maids to clean up the place, and then went upstairs by myself. As soon as I walked up the stairs, I saw that the maid was dozing off outside the door of Miaoyan, with her head leaning against the wall, sleeping soundly. When I saw her, I couldn't help but remember the way I used to sit at the door to watch and doze off at night. I couldn't bear to wake her up, so I opened the door and went in gently.

As soon as I entered the house, I saw Miaoyan sleeping on the bed, covered with a quilt.

Usually, this girl is very dishonest when sleeping and often kicks the quilt under the bed. Today, she is very obedient.

I blew out the candle at the head of the bed, pulled open a corner of the quilt and lay down. In the darkness, listening to Miaoyan's heavy breathing, I slowly fell asleep.

Early the next morning, I heard that Pei Yuanhao sent some people overnight, probably looking for the whereabouts of Nangong Lizhu in the city.

When breakfast is delivered, it is just some simple porridge and dishes, no more meat and fish.

I ate so many greasy food last night, which was just clearing my stomach and intestines, but Miaoyan seemed to have no appetite. She held the bowl and drank half a bowl of porridge and put it down silently.

I asked, "Don't you eat more?"

She shook her head: "I can't eat it."

I said softly: "Starting today, your father will fast and eat vegetarian food for worshiping the imperial tomb in three days. There will be no fire in the kitchen except for three meals. If you don't eat more, you will be hungry for a while, but you have nothing to eat."

She still shook her head: "I can't eat it anymore."

I sighed and stopped persuading me, asking the maid to take away all the dishes.

I wiped my mouth and was about to get up. Miaoyan asked hurriedly: "Mom, where are you going?"

"Mom wants to do something today."

"Can you take me with you?"

"No. I took you out for a walk last night. Today, I want to do some serious things. It's not good for you to go with me. Just read the book at home or practice embroidery."

She looked at me for a while and said dejectedly: "I understand."

I asked her to take her upstairs. After thinking about it, I specifically instructed the maid: "Look at her well and don't let her go out and run around. Otherwise, the emperor will be really angry if he knows."

The maid nodded quickly: "I understand."

After saying that, she also followed up the stairs. I kept watching Miaoyan's figure disappear at the stairs, and then turned around and walked out. First, I found the people brought by Qinghan and asked them to go out and inquire about the news. Then I asked the son of the Tushi, Silang Jiangcuo, to live in after he arrived in Qingtang City. I immediately told me after I came back.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! I originally thought that no matter how fast they move, it would take one or two hours to find out, but they came back not long after they went out and told me that Slang Jiangcuo lived in the west of the city.

I looked at them in surprise: "Why are you asking so quickly?"

The man replied, "It turns out that the people in this mansion knew where he lived. The man asked the chieftain to come here often to do business, so he originally had his own mansion in Qingtang City. When his son came, he naturally lived there."

"oh……"

I nodded and said, "Is that far away from here?"

"It will take more than two hours to go."

"Then go and prepare the carriage quickly, I'm going to go there right away."

"yes."

When the carriage was ready, I walked out and encountered Qinghan before I even left the door. He rested all night, his face was better than yesterday, and he was more energetic, and asked me: "You are going--"

"Go and look for that wolf."

"Cough..." He saw me teasing him on purpose, and angrily glanced at me, and then said, "But, didn't I say that, there's no need to be so anxious about this."

"It's normal for me to see him when I meet an old friend. Don't be nervous."

"Who is nervous? I just-"

"Okay," I interrupted him with a smile: "I really just went to do the serious business. If his purpose for coming here has nothing to do with us, you should breathe a sigh of relief, right?"

He saw me insisting, and sighed helplessly: "Then you come back early. You have to bring enough people around you. I originally wanted Chabixing to accompany you, but he—, hey, I don't know where he ran."

I smiled and said, "Don't worry. I dare not say what the purpose of Silang Jiangcuo came here, but he would not pose any threat to me. As long as I figure it out, I will come back soon."

He nodded and made a way out. I immediately walked out with a few servants.

As soon as the sun came out, the heat in Qingtang City was rising very quickly. After a while, the remaining coolness of last night had completely evaporated. The scorching sunlight shone directly in this red city without any obscurity, making everyone unable to open their eyes. However, because of this temperature, everyone became more enthusiastic. Along the way, I could hear various accents on the street and even hawking sounds in different languages, which was particularly lively.

The carriage passed through the city, and after passing the most prosperous section of the market, it slowly walked into a unique urban area.

From afar, you can find that there are many bungalows in this area. The white walls are a little dazzling in the sun. On these bungalows, they are as dense as spider webs, and small flags of various colors are flying, which are colorful and gorgeous.

Continue to move forward in the direction they gave me. As the carriage walked, it became a little difficult to move forward, because the terrain in the west of the city was higher, and when I walked forward, I was almost climbing a mountain. I lifted the curtain and looked forward, and saw a magnificent palace on the high ground. The red and golden roof reflected dazzling light from the sunlight, which was almost impossible to open my eyes. A tall road that was deliberately piled up and compact, more than one person higher than the surrounding bungalows led straight to the gate outside the palace.

Wow, so grand!

They said before that Slang Jiangcuo lived in Cailangtusi's mansion, but I really thought it was an ordinary house. Now I think I am naive, how could Cailangtusi really live only in an ordinary house?

This palace built against the mountain is more grand than the official houses of the imperial court on the other side of the city.

However, when I think about this place as Qingtang City, I don’t feel strange.

Our carriage walked over and stopped outside the tightly closed tall door. Several warriors guarding the door came forward to inquire. I handed over my prayer letter and sat in the carriage, waiting quietly.

After a while, I heard a hoarse sound from the closed door, and the door opened.
