Chapter 406 There is an appointment in the back mountain
"You, you hit us?"
The old nuns were both shocked and angry. They probably didn't expect that they were the Empress Dowager's people, and Yu Yunxi dared to beat them blatantly.
"You are the ones who beat you."
Yu Yunxi raised her eyes, staring at them coldly, making their faces turn pale.
People who have been on the battlefield, the aura, not everyone can hold it.
"Princess, princess, you have promised the empress dowager that you will pray for the emperor." The old nanny hesitated, trying to use this to remind Yu Yunxi.
"Since you care so much about praying for blessings, then you can copy this scripture."
After Yun Xi finished speaking, Meng Xia kicked the knees of these old nuns, and they fell to the ground quickly.
"Long, long princess..."
They still wanted to refute, but when they met Yu Yunxi's cold eyes, they could only pick up their pens to copy with trepidation.
Yu Yunxi yawned sleepily several times.
"Princess, if you are tired, you go to rest, and the slaves are here to watch these slaves." Meng Xia hurriedly said to Yun Xi.
Yu Yunxi shook her head, she looked in the direction of the door, her eyes were a little colder.
"The night is so long, do you think the Empress Dowager will only torture me by copying scriptures?" She asked in a low voice, her voice as cold as water.
Meng Xia's eyelids twitched, and she glanced at the trembling old nuns, then asked solemnly in a low voice: "Eldest Princess, could it be that the Empress Dowager is plotting against you? What else does she want to do?"
"What she wants to do, she will know when she waits."
Yu Yunxi suppressed the coldness in her eyes, she said with a half-smile.
This waiting means waiting until the middle of the night.
"Princess, princess, the hand of this servant is so painful, can you take a rest?"
The old nuns couldn't hold on any longer, they turned their heads, with mournful faces, trying to arouse Yu Yunxi's sympathy.
They have been with the empress dowager for many years, and they are used to calling the wind and rain, and they are used to slapping people with their hands. When did they try to copy books for so long?
"Oh? Can't bear this? Your hands are really useless, if not, you should chop them off."
Yu Yunxi stroked her temples with her fingers, and she spoke casually.
"Slave, slave girl, please continue writing, please continue writing."
The faces of those old nuns turned pale and pale, and they didn't dare to make a sound anymore, so they could only keep their heads down and copy books.
They were very resentful. Yu Yunxi treated them like this. When the Empress Dowager comes back tomorrow, they will definitely sue her and make her punished.
The room became quiet again, and soon, Yu Yunxi and Meng Xia heard footsteps coming from outside.
"Almsgiver, it's cold in the night, the abbot asked the little monk to add bedding for you."
A young man's voice came from outside.
Meng Xia hesitated for a moment before walking over to open the door.
The door was opened, and a young monk walked in.
He lowered his head, unable to see clearly.
Several old nuns were copying scriptures behind the screen, but he didn't see them.
He put down the quilt and said in a low voice: "Benefactor, I will take my leave first."
After speaking, he stepped back and closed the door by the way.
Meng Xia was full of doubts.
She picked up the quilt to check, and found nothing unusual.
"No problem, Eldest Princess, I guess the monk is just here to deliver something."
Yu Yunxi frowned slightly, she just wanted Meng Xia to bring the quilt to her to check.
But at this moment, a dart was thrown from outside.
"careful."
Yu Yunxi spoke quickly, then pulled Meng Xia's arm back.
Soon, a dart was stuck in the seat where Yu Yunxi was sitting, and there was a piece of paper in the middle.
"If you want to know about the Xiao family, see you in the bamboo forest in the back mountain, and come alone." There was such a sentence written on the paper.
"Princess, is this a trap?"
"Don't startle the snake, I'll go by myself, you are here to stare at those old mothers."
Yu Yunxi shook her head at Meng Xia.
Things about the Xiao family...
She was really curious.
Who told her this thing, and what was the other party's purpose?
"Princess, it's too dangerous for you to go alone. I'm afraid there will be a trap." Meng Xia was very anxious.
"Who said I have to go alone?" Yu Yunxi suddenly raised her eyes, looking at her strangely.
"Eldest Princess, you, you said you wouldn't bring your slaves..."
"Not taking you, doesn't mean I won't take others."
Yu Yunxi patted Meng Xia on the shoulder, then turned and walked out.
Meng Xia was even more confused, and she couldn't help asking: "The eldest princess, who do you want to bring?"
"Feng Yili. One Feng Yili is worth a hundred hidden guards."
With her back to Meng Xia, Yu Yunxi said in a relaxed tone.
Meng Xia: "..." Okay.
They are indeed no match for the Regent.
…
Houshan.
Yu Yunxi and Feng Yili walked into the bamboo forest at the same time.
"Why are you up so late?"
Yu Yunxi looked around and asked Feng Yili in a low voice.
She didn't expect that when she went to his yard, she found that he was not asleep either.
"Someone arrested my concubine to copy scriptures, how could I fall asleep?"
Feng Yili's tone was slightly cold.
Those black eyes were full of killing intent towards the Empress Dowager.
"You know all about the empress dowager forcing me to copy scriptures? But you don't have to worry about this, I won't let myself suffer. I have already caught a few slaves to help me copy."
Yu Yunxi quickly took Feng Yili's hand.
His palm was big and warm, which made her feel at ease.
"The bamboo in the back mountain grows really well." Yu Yunxi pushed away the thick bamboo leaves and said depressedly.
"With so many corpses to nourish, it will naturally grow well." Feng Yili said quietly.
A gust of cold wind blew, and goosebumps rose up under Yu Yunxi's long sleeves.
She turned her head to look at Feng Yili, and then asked suspiciously: "The corpse, where did it come from?"
"This place was originally a mass grave, and Wan'an Temple was built later." He said slowly.
I see.
Yu Yunxi turned her head, looked at the towering spire of Wan'an Temple, and murmured softly, "Will those dead souls be suppressed by building a temple here?"
"Hiss... Winter is really coming." Feeling the chill, Yu Yunxi sighed softly.
The next moment, the warm cloak fell on her shoulders.
"Let's go."
Feng Yili took her cool fingers with his backhand, and then strode up the steps.
The surroundings are quiet, only the chill is accompanied by the people around.
"If you have the guts to let this princess come here, why is there no one now?"
Yu Yunxi's cold voice echoed around the forest.
Suddenly, the sound of "rustling" came.
A faint voice came...
"I only let you come, I didn't let you bring anyone."
"It's just bringing one more person along, and it won't affect what you told my princess Xiao's family."
Yu Yunxi spoke quietly.
