Her Majesty Was Pregnant Before Entering the Palace

This quiet place of Buddhism, especially where the emperor's stand-in Buddha is enshrined, is naturally a little colder than elsewhere.

Although the young sweeping monk greeted Jiang Yi with a smile, he did not show too much enthusiasm and just led them in politely.

"Thank you, Master Fa Ming. I am here this time to pray for my parents at home. I will go to burn incense sticks and go back later. Master is busy on his own, so there is no need to say hello."

Monk Faming clasped his hands together and said, "Donor, please do."

Watching the young monk walk away, Jiang Ning lifted the veil from his hat and said with a smile, "I thought you were going to reward him with a silver note."

Jiang Yi shook his fan and said with a smile: "Benefits must be given, but you can't give them like this. This is a holy land of Buddhism, not outside. Everything can't be too tacky."

"hypocritical."

"Hey, don't be too direct." Jiang Yi closed the fan and tapped his sister's head lightly with the fan handle. "Let's go and take a look at the old monk."

"Can I just go to his room?"

"Of course not." Jiang Yi smiled and said, "I have calculated that at this hour, it is the time for the old monk to lead the disciples to do their homework in the main hall. Let's go to his residence to have a look."

Relying on the familiarity of the road, Jiang Yi and his sister took an uninhabited path, passed through the rockery and small lotus pond, and quietly reached the residence of the old monk Jingzhi.

As an accomplished monk, Jingcheng had an exquisite courtyard all to himself. It was quiet everywhere except for a seven or eight-year-old novice monk, who was squatting on the porch and feeding pigeons, dozing off little by little.

Jiang Yi pulled his sister and whispered: "Shh, step softly."

"No matter how gentle it is, it will still be discovered."

"Brother is already prepared."

Jiang Yi took out a thin bamboo tube from his sleeve, aimed it at the little novice monk, and puffed out a thin silver hair.

The little monk tilted his head and leaned against the pillar.

Jiang Ning frowned: "He's not dead, is he?"

It's not that she's afraid of killing, it's that she doesn't want to hurt innocent people, not to mention that she's just a child.

Jiang Yi straightened up, clapped his hands, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, it's just temporary paralysis. You will wake up naturally after an hour or two."

Jiang Ning reached out and took it: "What a good thing this is, show me."

"It's not a rare item. I asked a carpenter friend to make it. Inside is a silver needle that spits out medicine."

"The range is quite long and it's very accurate."

Jiang Ning stepped forward, observed the little novice monk, and found that the silver needle accurately hit his neck.

Jiang Ning pulled out the silver needle and said, "Third brother, have you practiced before?"

"A few times in a row."

"Don't be modest."

Jiang Ning shook the little novice monk and saw that he had no reaction at all. Then he felt relieved and said, "Let's go into the house and have a look."

"You can come in, but give me the things first!" Jiang Yi reached out to grab her and took the bamboo pipe back.

"Cheapskate!"

"Your brother and I only have this thing for self-defense. My aunt, please do me a favor and keep it for me. When I get back, I'll ask someone to get a few more for you to play with."

"Then when you get back, find someone to do it for you. Let me play with this."

"No."

"mean!"

"Are you brave enough to give me the sleeve arrow on your wrist?"

"...How did you see that?"

"Can't bear to part with it, right?" Jiang Yi smiled.

"It's not that I'm reluctant to part with things. If it's anything else, I'd be willing to give it to my brother even if it's gold or silver. It's just that this sleeve arrow was specially given to me by Gucheng. I can't give it to anyone else easily."

Jiang Yi said proudly: "My bamboo pipe is the same. It was given by a friend and my name is engraved on it, so I can't give it to you."

Jiang Ning felt suspicious after hearing this.
