Chapter 63
The Prince blocks the carriage
Author: Naughty Gu Gu
"Back to girl, Jinbao had diarrhea after eating too much, so he found a place to deal with it. Girl, don't worry, she will find it by herself later."
Yin Bao whispered back, and Shen Qiqi didn't say anything more. She nodded slightly and ignored him.
The two of them waited for another half-quarter of an hour before Nanny He walked out from the side with a smile.
"Girl, let's go, we can go in."
"There are so many people blocking the door, how can we get out?"
Yinbao asked curiously, then stood on tiptoe and looked over there, but couldn't see where he could get in.
"There is a small door next to it. I have some friendship with the temple guard inside. He let us go in through the small door."
"Oh, you are indeed our grandma. I didn't expect that your network of contacts is so wide."
Yinbao smiled and teased, and Aunt He glared at her. Seeing that she was smiling happily, she couldn't help but laugh along with her.
"You girl, it's good that you know that I have a lot of connections. Please be more obedient in the future, otherwise, I will have you tied up and starved for three days."
In front of Shen Qiqi, Grandma He was still reluctant to say serious words, fearing that if she heard it, she would start thinking wildly again.
"Let's go."
Although she was supported by Yin Bao, Shen Qiqi was so tired after standing for so long that she didn't want to move anymore.
There was already a layer of sweat on her forehead, and layers of cold sweat on her body. She was so uncomfortable that she just wanted to fall over.
I was half-carried into the City God's Temple. As soon as I entered the door, I was filled with thick smoke and burst into tears.
I was already out of breath, but now it became even more uncomfortable.
She covered the road and coughed twice. When she took her hand away, there were some blood stains on the handkerchief.
Seeing that neither Nanny He nor Yin Bao noticed it, she put it away calmly.
"Girl, the smoke here is really too thick, let's go to the back hall."
The apse is generally not open to the public, and only she and the temple guardian who have had many years of friendship can allow him to open the door to the apse.
The people in the front hall were crowded, and there were so many incense sticks that they were piled together and burned. The people who were holding incense sticks in the back couldn't get close at all, so they could only throw the incense from a distance.
Yinbao pushed through the crowd and took Shen Qiqi to the backyard, but when he was about to go in, he was stopped outside the door.
The temple guard looked at Shen Qiqi, who was wearing a curtain and hat, and nodded towards Aunt He.
"Old sister, we just agreed that the girl can only go in alone."
"Just stay outside the door. No one is inside. The girl is safe."
The back hall had not been opened for a long time. If he had not owed so much favor back then, he would never have opened this door anyway.
Even if there is no one inside, the girl cannot be allowed to go in alone. No one has been in for many years, and there are still many rats and ants inside.
"Yin Bao, you and Aunt He can wait here for a while. Since we are guests, we must not break the rules of this temple."
Shen Qiqi gently patted Yin Bao in front of her and shook her head at her through the gauze scarf.
The temple guard opened the door, closed it after she entered, and then retreated to the corridor on the other side.
The apse was not large, and the windows were not opened and only two lamps were lit, so it was very dark.
The Buddha statue is sitting high, and it is really difficult to see his face clearly from below.
Shen Qiqi felt tired after walking for a few steps. She bent over and coughed violently while covering her chest.
She coughed up a mouthful of black blood, leaned on the pillar to pant uncomfortably, and then slowly knelt down after she had recovered.
She stayed inside for two sticks of incense, and when she came out again, her steps were even more frivolous.
The temple guard opened the door and went in. When he came out again, he had a gold-folded signing in his hand, put it in a sachet and handed it to Shen Qiqi.
"The girl is overthinking, and all the past has become a cloud. I hope the girl will clear away the clouds and see the green mountains soon."
Shen Qiqi took the sachet and saluted the temple guardian, "Thank you very much for the temple guardian."
Her tone was slow, with a strong sense of weakness.
Aunt He handed over the sesame oil and silver. The temple guard did not refuse. He stretched out his hand to take it and weighed it.
His money-obsessed look completely wiped away the inscrutable look he had just now.
Yinbao's mouth twitched when he saw it, feeling that he was extremely unreliable.
Just now he was pretending to be a wise man, but his true colors were revealed as soon as he saw the money.
I don’t know if the girl will do anything after worshiping him. If it doesn’t work, she will come over tomorrow and give the old man a good beating.
"This girl is not young, but she is quite violent."
"You should recite the Sutra more when you go back. If you don't have the Heart Sutra at home, they sell it in the front hall. You can buy three copies for only ten taels."
Yinbao didn't know if he really guessed what he wanted to do. After hearing his words, he just felt that this person was too greedy.
The scriptures sold outside were not that expensive, and they were not unique, so he dared to sell them several times more.
She secretly rolled her eyes and saw Shen Qiqi saying goodbye to Nanny He before helping her out.
After getting on the carriage, Jin Bao had not returned yet. Shen Qiqi leaned in the carriage and waited for dozens of breaths before speaking.
"Aren't we waiting for Jin Bao?"
If they go back now, wouldn't Jinbao be in vain when he comes back?
"Why don't we wait for her? It's still early right now."
It was indeed not too late now, but the medicine had not soaked yet, so they really could not stay outside for too long.
Besides, with her current body, she really can't sustain it for long.
"Jinbao is very agile. Even if he encounters something, he will definitely come back suddenly."
"If she can't find us when she gets here, she must know that we have gone back."
"Girl, let's go back first."
"Yes, girl, my sister is very skilled. Let's go back first."
They all said this, and Shen Qiqi no longer insisted and whispered "Yeah" softly.
The coachman received the instructions and drove the carriage slowly back. When he reached the busy city, he was suddenly blocked by someone.
Aunt He lifted the curtain and revealed that she was the Prince of Guanghe County.
She got off the carriage, saluted the other party, and then asked the carriage to step aside.
"I've heard for a long time that Miss Shen has a beautiful face, and I'm lucky enough to bump into her today. I wonder if I can let Xiao Wang see her."
"If the girl has nothing to do, please go to Tianxiang Tower for a cup of tea instead of letting Xiao Wang do it."
Prince Guanghe is your Majesty's nephew. He is handsome and sweet-tongued, and is extremely favored by the Queen Mother.
He originally had no grudges against the Gu family, but he only had a small grudge two years ago when he was stopped by the Marquis when his subordinates forcibly took civilian girls as concubines.
It was just a trivial matter at first, but I didn't expect that he was a very small-minded person. In the past two years, he had been targeting the Marquis openly and secretly.
For His Majesty's sake, the Marquis did not care about him. Unexpectedly, he had become more and more arrogant recently and dared to block the Marquis's carriage in the street.
"Originally, I should not refuse the prince's personal invitation, but my girl is seriously ill now and really cannot see the wind. Thank you for the prince's love."
