Looking at Prince An over there, he was also supporting Princess An with a solemn expression.
No matter how much of an asshole King An is in private, today, King An still pretends to be dignified.
I saw it reaching the top.
Yun Wanyue felt the sole of her foot slipping.
Ye Beilan's arm came into play at this moment, grabbing Yun Wanyue with force.
Yun Wanyue's feet under the heavy clothes quickly stabilized her figure, so that she did not make a fool of herself in public.
It's okay to make a fool of yourself, but if he really falls, then King An will use this incident to accuse him of being disrespectful, which would be troublesome.
The divine attendants on the altar have already lit incense candles.
Although it was raining, the green smoke from the incense candles still curled into the air.
Everyone knelt on the ground together, kowtowed and prayed.
"May God be merciful and take back the heavy rain, so that no one will be devastated in the night."
Everyone said in unison.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven went smoothly and successfully.
But the rain... didn't stop because everyone worshiped the sky.
Yun Wanyue knew that in her previous life, it would rain for another half a month.
Half a month may not seem like a long time, but half a month is enough to completely ruin the crops that were supposed to be harvested.
But even if she knew that doing these things could not change this moment, she still had to follow it respectfully.
Because at this time she was not only Yun Wanyue, but also the daughter-in-law of the royal family.
There is no room for her to make any mistakes.
Then, everyone went to guard the ever-burning lamps in the temple.
According to the order of elder and younger, it was King An's turn on the first day, Ye Jinchao's turn on the second day, and then it was Ye Beilan's turn.
By the time it was Ye Beilan's turn, Yun Wanyue had almost rested and the wind and cold on her body had gone away.
As for the house, Yun Wanyue had already arranged tables and chairs, and even managed to get a bedding, finally giving Ye Beilan a place to sleep.
Yun Wanyue didn't have to worry. After she fell asleep, she could bump into Ye Beilan as soon as she turned over, or tell Ye Beilan what she wanted to say to kill Ye Beilan.
The first time they went to guard the temple, time passed quickly. Ye Beilan and Yun Wanyue stared at the ever-burning lantern with their eyes. Naturally, nothing went wrong.
But on the sixth day when they were waiting to worship the Queen of Heaven, it was their turn to guard the temple again.
At midnight.
It's still raining outside.
Yun Wanyue and Ye Beilan were kneeling side by side on the futon.
But Yun Wanyue vaguely smelled something: "Hey, Ye Beilan."
Ye Beilan didn't respond.
Yun Wanyue looked sideways: "You're not asleep, are you?"
Ye Beilan then said: "No, what's the matter?"
Yun Wanyue did not argue with Ye Beilan about his slow response, but asked: "Did you ask about a strange smell?"
Ye Beilan frowned and said, "No."
"But I smell it. This smell is very familiar... I always feel like I've smelled it somewhere." Yun Wanyue frowned.
Ye Beilan stared at the ever-brightening lamp and said, "Our task is to watch this lamp. As long as the lamp is fine, other things have nothing to do with us."
Yun Wanyue could tell that Ye Beilan didn't want to be distracted by this matter.
But at this moment, the smell became stronger and stronger.
If Yun Wanyue hadn't said anything, Ye Beilan wouldn't have noticed anything yet. With Yun Wanyue's reminder just now, Ye Beilan also became alert.
"It seems... there is a smell."
"No! It smells like tung oil!" Ye Beilan's expression changed slightly.
Only then did Yun Wanyue remember why this smell was so familiar, because it was the smell of tung oil! In her previous life, Shen Ronger lived in the palace.
Shen Ronger's house was poured with tung oil and set on fire.
When Shen Ronger was finally rescued, her little face was covered with dust and she was crying so hard.
Although there was no clear evidence at the time.
But everyone in the house suspected that she had done it.
It was also because of this incident that Yun Wanyue remembered the smell of tung oil.
Yun Wanyue said: "Why does this smell like tung oil? Could it be that someone wants to set a fire!"
As soon as Yun Wanyue finished speaking, Ye Beilan said, "You stay here, I'll go check it out."
Yun Wanyue pulled Ye Beilan and said, "Ye Beilan, don't be impulsive. If you leave, and if any thieves come in, I'm afraid I won't be able to protect this everlasting light."
At this time, there were only two of them in the temple.
But if the security is not complete, may other thieves have sneaked in?
"You look at the lamp, I'll go see what's going on." Yun Wanyue said.
In Yun Wanyue's opinion, letting Ye Beilan look at the lights is the safest way.
No matter what kind of hatred the two of them had before, at this time they are both grasshoppers on the same rope.
If the lights go out, it won't be one person who is unlucky, it must be the two of them, no one can escape the blame!
But when Yun Wanyue went to check, Ye Beilan was not at ease.
"Qin Shou will be guarding outside. Go and shout at the door and ask Qin Shou to go around the temple and take a look." Ye Beilan ordered.
Although according to the rules, other people are not allowed to enter the temple.
But if you really encounter an emergency, the rules are dead and the person is alive, but keeping the lights on is obviously more important.
It would be fine if Qin Shou didn't find any problem. If he did find it, no one would blame him if he entered the temple.
Yun Wanyue nodded, crossed the first floor door, and walked outside.
She wanted to push open the door of the temple and go out, but found that the door was locked from the outside.
"Qin Shou!" Yun Wanyue shouted.
No one answered outside, only the sound of wind and rain continued to come in.
Yun Wanyue was a little panicked this time.
She returned to Ye Beilan again and said nervously: "Your Majesty, Qin Shou and others are not outside. We may have really encountered something!"
During the conversation.
A fire suddenly lit up on one side of the temple.
Just now it was just the smell of tung oil, but now it's really on fire.
Come to think of it, the thief in the dark just sprinkled tung oil on it, and now it is really lit.
With the help of tung oil, the fire spread quickly.
The ever-burning lamp enshrined at the top was still burning, but under the light of the fire, the light above seemed insignificant.
Ye Beilan pulled Yun Wanyue and walked towards the door: "I will take you out."
Yun Wanyue turned around and glanced at the ever-brightening lamp and asked, "But what should I do with the lamp?"
Ye Beilan said coldly: "In this situation, what kind of light should we consider? It's obvious that someone wants to take this opportunity to cause trouble!"
"If the fire spreads, if we don't escape quickly, we may be buried in the flames." Ye Beilan said with a cold face.
"When we die, we won't be able to keep the light," Ye Beilan continued.
What Yun Wanyue was waiting for was Ye Beilan's words, but if this was the case, it was best to let Ye Beilan say it.
