After returning home, Bai Yan kicked off her shoes and lay down on the bed. This was the first time that people around her fell asleep earlier than her.

It seemed like he really didn't have a rest all night.

She turned sideways and gently leaned on his arm, sleeping next to him forever feeling at ease and at ease.

When she woke up, the room was as dark as outside and she couldn't see her fingers.

I have told Xiaocui in advance not to disturb me, but I don’t even know what time it is.

The person next to her remained motionless with her eyes closed, maintaining the same position as before she fell asleep. Bai Yan sighed softly with some distress.

In fact, he didn't have to do this. She was already very happy that he could accompany her.

She sat up softly. She was sleeping on the inside. If she wanted to get out of bed in the dark, she could only step over him and crawl to the bed.

As soon as she reached across him, she was suddenly pulled against him.

Bai Yan was so frightened that she fell on his chest. Pei Lin opened her eyes. It turned out that his eyes were darker than the night. She could clearly see his eyes looking at her.

"You're awake!"

Pei Lin blinked and answered. If he still can't wake up after this, he will have to die a thousand times.

Now that he's awake, she's not in a hurry to get out of bed.

"Did you sleep well? This pillow is so hard. It's not as comfortable as in the palace, but it's still quite comfortable."

Pei Lin chuckled. She could talk so much as soon as she woke up. He reached out and rubbed her head, took her off her body, and sat up.

"Are you hungry?"

"A little."

He went out and asked Wang Lai to order some food, and the two of them ate some casually.

"What did you do last night? Did something happen?"

"fine."

Pei Lin answered casually and slowly drew circles on the rim of the cup with his fingers.

He was not able to verify the guess in his mind last night. He vaguely felt that there was something hidden in this temple, and he was afraid he would have to go out again tonight.

Bai Yan couldn't stop him when he wanted to go out, he could only tell him to pay attention to his safety.

It was daybreak and he hadn't come back yet, so she had nothing to do. She might as well kneel down at the Buddha statue, and she still had to do her best on the surface.

In the morning, the young master chanting sutras in the temple could be heard endlessly. Bai Yan knelt in the Buddhist chamber on the side, listening to the melodious sound coming from not far away, and passing the time.

She raised her head and looked at the Buddha statue in front of her. Over time, the color of the Buddha statue had lost some color and it looked gray.

Her neck was a little sore, and she was just about to lower her head when she accidentally caught a glimpse of the offerings on the altar.

Because she didn't want to be exposed to the sun, she knelt on the left side. From this angle, she could see that the apples in the fruit plate were darkened.

It seems that someone deliberately turned it to the back and covered it with the apples on it. It still looks fresh from the front.

She frowned, that shouldn't be the case.

These offerings are often exchanged by monks. How could such a disrespectful thing happen in a temple?

"Xiao Cui, go and touch the back of the Buddha statue."

Xiaocui didn't know what she was thinking, so she said hesitantly, "Mother, that Buddha statue cannot be touched."

Bai Yan couldn't wait to talk to her any more, so she stood up and went up to touch it.

Sure enough, the thick black ash was just as she imagined. She frowned and stared at the black ash on her fingers.

So they only cleaned the front of the Buddha statue, and only made sure that the front of the melons and fruits looked good to people.

Such behavior is not like what someone who truly fears the Buddha would do.

Even the memorial tablets in your home are cleaned and wiped daily to show respect.

She suddenly had a very bad feeling in her heart, something was not right here. She had to go to him and tell him first.

She ran out suddenly, and Xiaocui was stunned to follow her footsteps.

Worried about being seen by others, Bai Yan only quickened her pace and walked into the room, the beaded hairpin on her head swaying and her words echoing in the empty corridor.

"Amitabha, Queen."

A monk came forward. She had met him once when he first arrived. He was replaced by Master Yun Shen. He stood and clasped his hands to salute her.

"Master Yun Shen."

Bai Yan responded casually and wanted to leave, but was stopped by him.

"The Queen and Your Majesty are really deeply in love. The young monk is about to go to the front hall to worship, so the Queen might as well come with the young monk."

Only then did she stop and look up and down at the monk in front of her.

He was dressed simply, with a string of Buddhist beads hanging on his hand and standing on his chest. There was nothing wrong with his low-brow look.

But here are all concubines, even monks, they are not allowed to interact with each other on weekdays. How did he appear here, and how did he know where he was just now.

He showed no taboo between men and women and actually invited her to worship together.

She didn't know whether it was because the monk had long forgotten the worldly feelings between men and women, so he was open-minded, or if it was because of some other reason.

"Thank you, Master Yun. If I have anything else to do, I will go back first."

"Amitabha, the young monk won't disturb you too much."

Bai Yan smiled, then continued to walk forward and then put away her smile, her bad premonition getting worse.

She didn't know that the person behind her was staring at her, and she didn't turn around until her back disappeared.

He couldn't tell from her expression whether the man the master was asking about was there. The master was sure he would come, but they didn't dare to take the risk.

When Bai Yan ran back, Pei Lin had already come back. He sat at the table and watched her eagerly stretch out her hand in front of him, her fingers were dirty.

He raised his eyebrows playfully, what does this little thing want to do, let him wipe it clean? He came back just to boss him around.

Seeing that he didn't understand, Bai Yan said anxiously, "Look, this is the dirt behind the Buddha statue. They also hide the bad fruit behind the good fruit. Isn't it incredible? Something is not right here."

Pei Lin put down the cup in his hand and became serious.

He had already felt it, but he was still not sure what was wrong. What she said today confirmed his hunch.

Seeing that he stopped talking again, Bai Yan grabbed his hand eagerly, "Do you already know what happened, and what can't be said?"

After grabbing his hand, Bai Yan realized what was strange about the monk just now.

his hand!

Pei Lin practiced martial arts and held a sword, danced with a sword or drew a bow for many years, so he had calluses on the tiger's mouth and index finger of his right hand.

Why does a monk leave cocoons if only Buddhist beads hang from his tiger's mouth?

"Mother, are you sure?"

"Of course! I'm sure, extremely sure. He also has calluses on his hands that are very similar to yours. Then he must be practicing martial arts, maybe a monk? Are there monks here? No, I didn't hear them practicing martial arts this morning.

The sound."

Pei Lin reached out and pulled her into his arms, and her panic slowly calmed down in his arms.

She wanted to come back quickly and tell him that he must have a way. Seeing his calm expression, her brows furrowed even more tightly. She had a hunch that this matter must be directed at them.

"I will take my wife back tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Don't stay here anymore."

"Should I go back? As for them, the Queen Mother will definitely not agree. What if I return to the imperial city? Your Majesty is unconscious, and the four highnesses are just about to break the layer of paper. You don't need to tell me, you know that, that's it

If we go back, His Highness will take action immediately. The guards of the imperial city are probably not as good as Concubine Wanyan’s army. Sir, what are you thinking!"

Bai Yan was so anxious that she almost burst into tears. His expression was not so bright. He went out every night and was so busy that he saw no one and did not see any results.

"Don't worry, my dear, nothing will happen. I will find a way, okay."

Before she could speak, Pei Lin stood up, hugged her, let her have a good rest, and went out.
