Abandoned Woman Busy Farming

Chu Han and Liu Feng held a candlelight conversation for half the night, and finally explained his recent experience and the purpose of his trip.

Liu Feng said angrily: "They said it wasn't the Queen Mother who did it, so she is not the Queen Mother? Maybe it was someone close to the Queen Mother? We heard it with our own ears back then."

"Master, because many things have happened, I often calm down and think about it, and I always feel that something is wrong. I have also been in contact with that woman Ding. She really seems to know nothing, and the current emperor and queen mother of Danliang She has always been suppressed by important ministers, and the Queen Mother is often angry in the palace. If she was the one who could interfere in the affairs of the Western Region and harm my family, how could she be so cowardly?" Chu Han said.

"You can't just look at the surface. If she is so harmless, how did her son become the emperor? How did she secure the position of Queen Mother?" Liu Feng still had great hostility towards the Queen Mother.

"It is said that the late emperor cared most about the Queen Mother. Even when the two of them were cursed, the late emperor did not tell her. Instead, he quietly helped her transfer the curse to her only daughter, Princess Jade. The late emperor loved her so much that she It seems that there is no need to be so guarded against my mother, right? And Yuyao is just a girl, which does not affect her son's status." Chu Han analyzed.

"Also, Yuyao and Yuhuan hit it off immediately and became friends even when they didn't know each other's identities. Although it was Tang Yin's request to pick up my mother this time, it was also Yuyao's wish." He paused as he spoke. , "I also hope to take this opportunity to wake up my mother."

Liu Feng sighed, "Your mother has been poisoned for so many years, and I still can't think of a way. How old is that woman, and what effect can it have?"

She is not so repelled by Bai Ruozhu now, she even has a good impression of him, and her attitude is better when talking about him.

"We have to let her try. You also said that my mother is getting weaker and weaker. If I don't try, I'm afraid it will be too late." Chu Han said anxiously.

Liu Feng's expression was hesitant. She still didn't believe the people from Danliang Kingdom, especially the people sent by Emperor Danliang.

After a while, she looked up at Chu Han and said, "I'll give them some time, and then let me write something that makes them worthy of my trust."

Chu Han wanted to say more, but Liu Feng raised her hand to stop her. Then she left Qingyou Hall in a flash.

The next day, Chu Han told Bai Ruozhu apologetically what Liu Feng meant, saying that he was really sorry for not being able to persuade his master.

Bai Ruozhu smiled after hearing this and said, "There is nothing wrong with your master being more cautious. Our actions will continue in the future, and this is also an opportunity for us to gain her trust."

Seeing that Bai Ruozhu was not angry, Chu Han secretly breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little more grateful to her.

Soon the monarch sent someone, saying that he had secretly invited the second elder to meet, and invited Jiang Yichun and Bai Ruozhu to go together.

The two quickly tidied up and took Jian Qi and others to the imperial study room to meet the monarch.

The monarch opened a secret passage in front of the two of them, seemingly to express his absolute sincerity to them.

The group of people walked out along the secret passage. After exiting, they found a remote courtyard outside the city. Not long after, there was a knock on the door.

The two parties seemed to be communicating a few words that were half-understood, and then went to open the door. A man who looked to be in his early fifties came in. He was dressed very simply, and his face was full of expressions. Despite the vicissitudes of life, his eyes are extremely bright.

He only brought four followers, and the followers were also dressed in coarse cloth. They looked like the most ordinary master and servant in the city.

"Qiu Chen has met His Majesty the King." The second elder entered the room and saluted. His attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, but rather courageous.

"The second elder doesn't need to be polite. Today we won't talk about those false etiquette. Let me explain. These two are Mr. Bai Shu and Mrs. Bai from Danliang Kingdom. I think the second elder has heard about it, right?" The monarch's very tone was of no use. "Gu" calls himself himself, which shows that he attaches great importance to the second elder.

The second elder raised his hands to Jiang Yichun and Bai Ruozhu and said, "I have often heard the names of these two recently. Madam Bai is a person favored by the gods who can burn red incense. Mr. Bai is also handsome and has a good appearance as legendary."

Bai Ruozhu snickered. The "legend" mentioned by the second elder should be the rumor that Honglian fell in love with Mr. Bai because of his good looks.

She glanced at Jiang Yichun secretly and found out that although his face was not lost, his aura had been lowered.

The monarch laughed and changed the topic.

Soon, the two sides entered the topic. The monarch said to the second elder: "The temple has existed for so many years, and it has always complemented the royal family. Individuals also respect the temple very much. However, in recent years, some people have gone too far. Not only are they good at using the The power seeks personal gain for oneself, and also uses the name of the gods to control the people, so that the people do not go to the doctor. Every year, many people die due to untreated illness. As a monarch, I really can't bear it."

The second elder looked helpless when he heard this. This was the reason for his disagreement with the first elder. How could a person who believed in the gods do such a thing that was unworthy of the gods? Was he not afraid of punishment from the gods, or was there no god in his heart at all?

"I now understand that these are just some of the black sheep's problems and have nothing to do with the temple itself. Why can't the temple get rid of these black sheep, restore true holiness, and let those who truly believe in the gods take charge and seek welfare for the people?" The monarch continued.

"I understand what you mean, my lord. That's why the Great Elder and I have almost become enemies over the years, but..." He showed hesitation, "If I agree to your proposal, the temple will be plunged into a bloody storm. , this is what I don’t want to see.”

Bai Ruozhu winked at the monarch and said, "The second elder also knows that I am a person favored by the gods. You should also have heard that I am a destined person that the high priest Kailin told the descendants of the family. I dare to assure the second elder. , this matter will not be achieved through force and rape, and the bloodshed will even be minimized. If the second elder is still not convinced, you can take a look at what happens next and then consider our proposal."

The second elder was surprised, "Are you already taking action?"

Bai Ruozhu smiled and said, "Second Elder, please rest assured and remember that everything we did was not against the temple, but only against some black sheep. There is something else I want to tell the Second Elder. I was lucky enough to save the life of a temple maid." , one day she had one of her legs chopped off for no reason and was thrown into a mass grave outside the city. She almost lost her life because of it. Now, although she saved her life, she became lame for no reason."

The second elder didn't know why Bai Ruozhu mentioned this matter, and asked in confusion: "You mean someone inside the temple did it? Did the maid know something that she shouldn't know?"
