Chapter 23 Cannibalism

Yin Zhu tugged on Ling Youyao's sleeve, reminding her to be careful.

Although this Miss Su is kind on the surface, she always talked about the princess and Shen Shizi's affairs last time in the palace. If someone interested heard about it, she didn't know how to arrange the princess.

"Don't worry." Ling Youyao patted her hand to express comfort.

Su Lingxi took a few steps closer and bowed slightly: "I have met the princess."

Ling Youyao smiled: "Miss Su, there is no need to be polite, all living beings are equal in front of the Buddha's door."

The last time they met in the palace, she was clearly aware of Su Lingxi's displeasure. Now that they met again, she could still come over and say hello to her with a smile. This "measurement" is really admirable.

Su Lingxi didn't know what she was thinking, Yingying smiled and said: "I didn't expect to meet the princess here today. My daughter and the princess are really destined."

After she got the news, she immediately rushed to Foguang Temple, because it was Ling Youyao. Whether she was destined or not, didn't it all depend on people?

Ling Youyao didn't believe the nonsense about fate. Su Lingxi made it clear that she was here for her.

"It is said that Foguang Temple is the most efficacious. Miss Su came here today to make a wish, right?"

Su Lingxi shook her head, with a hint of sadness in her eyes: "My daughter came today to make a wish, but not for herself."

"Oh?" Ling Youyao raised her eyebrows.

Su Lingxi sighed softly: "Yesterday, I also heard about the princess's incident. I have always been on good terms with the princess. After what happened to her, your majesty has ordered the Xu family to leave for Ningzhou in the near future. You can't wait until you are summoned."

Return to Beijing."

Ling Youyao was slightly surprised, she didn't expect His Majesty's punishment to be so severe.

Ningzhou is located in a bitter cold land in the northwest. It has been battered by wind and sand all year round. It is often the best place to exile prisoners. The sentence "No return to Beijing without recall" can be regarded as completely severing the connection between the Xu family and the capital.

But what Ling Youyao didn't know was that this decree was made possible by Fu Mingjue.

If the Xu family wants to return to Beijing in this life, they probably have no chance.

Ling Youyao was surprised for just a moment, but was still caught by Su Lingxi.

She continued: "Jianing is confused, and it was all her own fault that she ended up like this. But after all, I couldn't bear to see her go to Ningzhou and suffer, so she thought of asking the Buddha to bless Jianing so that she could reach Ningzhou safely.

"

Such Su Lingxi is really kind-hearted.

If she hadn't known her true identity, Ling Youyao would have almost believed her words.

Ling Youyao did not expose her, and said lightly: "Miss Su has a kind heart. If the princess knew about it, she would be so moved that she couldn't help herself."

Originally she didn't know why Princess Duanyang suddenly came to her door, but now that she heard what Su Lingxi said, she understood that with Xu Jianing's temperament, ninety-nine times he acted impulsively because he was provoked by others.

And who is the instigator besides Su Lingxi?

Su Lingxi smiled and suddenly noticed that Ling Youyao had been holding her left hand, and asked with concern: "Is the princess's hand injured?"

Although she was caring on the surface, in her heart she was wondering whether Ling Youyao and Fu Mingjue had a quarrel because of Xu Jianing's incident.

"It's just that I fell down when I got up last night. It's okay." Ling Youyao said calmly.

Su Lingxi was sure it was because of Xu Jianing, and said apologetically: "Jianing was at fault. I apologize to the princess on her behalf."

"If Jianing hadn't been so infatuated with the prince, how could he have gone to trouble the princess? It wouldn't have caused the princess to worry about it and get hurt."

Xu Jianing was accused of everything in his words, but how could Ling Youyao not hear that Su Lingxi was saying that she was jealous?

What's wrong with being infatuated with someone?

What's more, since ancient times, which man has not kept a lot of wives and concubines? Ling Youyao is very worried about Xu Jianing, and has no trace of the demeanor of a real wife.

Yin Zhu frowned. Although it was quiet here, pilgrims would pass by from time to time. If others heard this, the princess' reputation would be in jeopardy.

Lu Bao wanted to defend himself, but Ling Youyao held his hand down.

Ling Youyao's calm eyes fell on Su Lingxi's face: "This matter has nothing to do with Miss Su. You don't need to apologize to me. As for Princess Duanyang, I don't take it to heart."

"There are countless women who love the prince, and the princess is just one of them. If I think about these all day long, wouldn't I be very busy?"

As he spoke, he did not forget to smile at Su Lingxi: "You think so? Miss Su."

Hearing this, Su Lingxi's eyes quickly flashed with a dark look.

I didn’t expect Ling Youyao to be so sharp-tongued. How could such a woman deserve to be by the prince’s side?

"The princess is sensible, but I am worrying too much." Although Su Lingxi smiled, she was a little less patient than before.

If all the mistakes are made against me, I will be like a big white lotus.

Ling Youyao was too lazy to argue with her anymore, and immediately said: "Since Miss Su is here to pray for the princess, I will leave first. If I can't get back on time, the prince will blame me."

Although she didn't like Fu Mingjue, she was still happy to use Fu Mingjue to stimulate Su Lingxi.

Hearing this, Yin Zhu and Lu Bao secretly gave Ling Youyao a thumbs up.

"Miss Su, see you later."

No matter what her expression was, Ling Youyao raised her chin and walked away swaggeringly.

Su Lingxi's face turned pale with anger, this bitch!

The maid behind her carefully supported Su Lingxi: "Second Miss, are you still going to offer incense?"

"What are we going to do? Go back home!" Su Lingxi shouted, turned around and walked away.

The maid shrank her neck and did not dare to say anything.

Liang Wenyao and Pei Ce, who were about to go down the mountain, couldn't help but sigh when they saw this scene.

Pei Ce: "It's just that he looks ugly, but he also has a bad temper."

Liang Wenyao was helpless: "That is the young lady from the Yuguo family, the most talented woman in the capital."

Pei Ce looked at him suspiciously: "Really or not? Her expression just now was as if she wanted to eat someone. She doesn't look like a talented woman at all."

"So, you can't just look at appearance." Liang Wenyao raised his eyebrows at him, "What if the beauty you saw is like this?"

Pei Ce immediately interrupted him: "Impossible! What I like must be the best girl in the world."

Liang Wenyao joked: "Huanzhi, when will you get rid of your habit of judging your mood based on your face? Aren't you afraid that one day you will suffer a big loss?"

"If you can't change it, I will fall into the hands of a beauty for the rest of my life." Pei Ce looked indifferent.

Liang Wenyao suddenly approached him and asked in a low voice: "Huanzhi, have you forgotten Mu Xiaoxiao so quickly?"

"Of course I still remember Xiao Xiao." Pei Ce said casually, but the startling glimpse under the sycamore tree appeared in his mind.

He originally just didn't believe in evil and wanted to see if the beauty was pretty, but he ended up getting involved.

Now that he mentioned it, it made him a little annoyed.

Pei Ce wanted to drink when he was annoyed, so he pulled Liang Wenyao down the mountain without saying a word.

"Why are you leaving in such a hurry?" Liang Wenyao asked.

Pei Ce: "Drink."

Liang Wenyao curled his lips and said no more.
