Rustle——

The spring rain always comes silently, soft and long, and it seems that there is no time to stop.

In the early morning, the carriage stopped outside the gate of the palace. Yue Nu jumped off the carriage with tired eyes, opened the umbrella and helped Madam Lu get off the carriage.

Madam Lu was still wearing a light green spring dress. She only leaned on the carriage for a while last night. Her eyes were red and her hair was a little messy.

Furong Temple is ten miles outside the city, Yufeng Mountain. The journey is still quite far. I left the city overnight yesterday. When I arrived, the Taoist temple was ready to close. Fortunately, the Xiao and Lu families had great reputation. When they heard that Madam Lu was coming, the Taoist temple quickly reopened and cleaned up, so that Madam Lu could burn incense in the main hall with peace of mind.

Mrs. Lu was worried about Xu Buling's injury, so she knelt in front of the Three Pure Ones for a whole night, saying all kinds of good things to him, and of course, she offered money for incense, which frightened the old Taoist priest of Furong Temple so much that he dared not accept it.

In the early morning, Mrs. Lu did not rest in the Taoist temple, but set off on her return journey with her maid and guards.

The maids and guards had been with her all night, and they were tired and should have rested for half a day, but Madam Lu always felt uneasy, feeling... well... I couldn't tell what I felt... Anyway, I felt something was wrong, but I couldn't tell what was wrong...

Madam Lu got off the carriage and trotted to the red lacquered gate, called the maid over, and asked softly:

"Is Ling'er okay?"

The maid didn't dare to joke with Madam Lu, who was tense, and said seriously: "The young prince is fine. The Queen Mother has been guarding all night. Lao Xiao came out to report safety several times."

"Oh..."

Madam Lu's tense heart finally relaxed, and she slightly adjusted her hair and dress, and walked slowly and dignifiedly to the back house.

Outside the hanging flower gate, the only passage connecting the front and back houses, Lao Xiao stood in the middle of the gate with a cane like a door god. The limp little hat of the servant was crooked, and there was a rare bit of anxiety on his face. He looked back from time to time, but he couldn't see anything.

Tap tap——

Mrs. Lu came over from the corridor with a few maids, and her speed was quite fast.

Lao Xiao's heart skipped a beat, and he thought that 'the prince's life was over', and he raised his hand with a smile:

"Mrs. Lu is back so early? Didn't you rest in the Taoist temple?"

The voice was so loud that the gatehouse in the outer house could probably hear it.

Mrs. Lu was startled, but Lao Xiao's personality was carefree, so he didn't care, and just said softly:

"Mr. Xiao, please keep your voice down, don't disturb Ling'er."

"Hehe..."

Lao Xiao stood in the middle of the hanging flower gate, and shook his head with some sighs: "The young prince is very brave, he can't be scared... How about Furong Temple?"

Lao Xiao was Xu Buling's personal guard, and he carried Xu Buling out of the sea of ​​blood and corpses. Seeing Lao Xiao's polite greetings, Mrs. Lu naturally couldn't lose her manners, so she stopped outside the hanging flower gate and smiled:

"I heard from the pilgrims inside that it is very effective, I hope it will be useful."

Lao Xiao smacked his lips and said softly Sighing softly: "It's better to believe in such things than not to believe in them. Burning incense and worshipping the Buddha is also a good thing... Well... The little prince actually believes in Buddhism..."

Mrs. Lu frowned slightly: "Furong Temple is a Taoist sect... Ling'er believes in Buddhism? Why haven't I heard of it?"

Old Xiao was full of nonsense, making conversation: "The princess believes in Buddhism, and the little prince also believes in it..."

"Really..." Mrs. Lu pursed her lips and pondered for a while: "What can I do... Ling'er believes in Buddhism and I go to worship Taoist priests. Will the Taoist master be angry..."

"Probably not, as long as the incense money is in place..."

"Oh... that's right..."

"..."

Nothing to say.

Old Xiao stroked his crutches and looked up at the sky: "The weather is good today..."

"..."

Mrs. Lu tilted her head slightly, hummed inexplicably, and stepped forward to go in.

Old Xiao was helpless and was about to pretend to be sick and lie down to block the road. Fortunately, the people in the back house were not deaf and finally heard the sound.

Tap, tap, tap--

The sound of a quick trot came.

Madam Lu looked up and saw the Queen Mother in a fiery red dress walking out of the corridor. Her steps were a little unsteady, and the fatigue in her eyes was not concealed. Her hair was messy, and it was obvious that she had been working hard all night.

Seeing this scene, Madam Lu felt warm in her heart, her expression eased a little, and she bowed:

"Greetings to the Queen Mother... You have worked hard."

"Well... It's not hard..."

The Queen Mother had just been tortured by Xu Buling to the point of wanting to die. Now her legs were still sore and sore, and she was floating when she walked, but she had to put on the dignified and polite demeanor of the Queen Mother. She stopped in the corridor, and her legs under her skirt couldn't help but tremble slightly, and she felt like she wanted to die.

Madam Lu nodded in response, walked over to take a quick look, and suddenly felt something strange - although the queen mother was very tired and her posture was strange, her skin was tender and her spirit was different from before, as if all the resentment accumulated in the deep palace for ten years had disappeared...

The queen mother noticed Madam Lu's eyes, and her heart tightened. She pretended to be calm on her face and continued to chat:

"You didn't sleep last night, did you? Go and rest for a while when you come back..."

With the maid around, Madam Lu couldn't stare at the queen mother, so she just glanced at her:

"The queen mother didn't sleep all night either?"

"Oh... I'm afraid you'll worry about taking care of Ling'er, so I don't dare to sleep..."

"Thank you, queen mother..."

Mrs. Lu hadn't slept for a few days, so she was a little dazed. Although she felt that the Queen Mother was a little unusual, she had been working hard all night, and Ling's injury might not have healed. She didn't have the energy to think about it. She just smiled and said softly:

"Queen Mother, go and rest for a while. I'll take care of Ling'er."

The Queen Mother was restless, afraid that Mrs. Lu would notice anything unusual. She didn't dare to stay for long. She pretended to be calm and shook her head and chuckled:

"It's okay. I was going to the imperial mausoleum yesterday. I'm afraid the people over there have been waiting for a day. I'd better go there early. Go, so as to avoid the old people of the royal family from nagging too much. "

Mrs. Lu thought about it and it was true. For a dignified empress dowager to come and take care of a prince of a vassal state, it was like a monarch keeping watch for his subjects. It was not in accordance with the rules. She did not dissuade him at the moment, but just said with concern:

"The empress dowager should take care of her body. Take a rest in the carriage. I won't see you off."

"Yes."

The empress dowager nodded and turned to walk out of the hanging flower gate with a dignified and majestic step. Unfortunately, when she went down the stairs, her legs were weak and staggered. She felt pain in her waist. The empress dowager's face suddenly flushed, and then quickly recovered. Fortunately, she did not notice the change in her face because she was facing away from Mrs. Lu. The empress dowager hurriedly raised her hand to support Qiao'e and explained softly:

"I am indeed a little tired after staying up all night. Just take a rest. Don't worry about me..."

"Oh... I really trouble the empress dowager..."

Mrs. Lu blinked her eyes and watched her best friend, who she talked to all the time, gradually go away. She was a little touched in her heart...
