After the two of them made their decision, they prepared to wait until the night got late and everyone in the Xu Mansion went to sleep, then they went out to spy on the Taoist temple.
Before leaving, Xie Xun told Ying 1 and 2, "You two don't have to follow me."
Ying Yi is the most loyal person and always puts Xie Xun's safety first in everything, so he said: "My lord, you can't."
Ying Er, who was on the side, quickly grabbed his expressionless colleague and said to Xie Xun with a smile on his face: "My lord and princess, please go slowly."
Qingzhi at the back also very much hoped that the two of them would have a chance to be alone together, and kept pushing Qin Rushuang out, "Princess, please go with the prince! It will be dawn soon!"
Qin Rushuang was urged by Qingzhi Heying Er and left Xu Mansion with Xie Xun.
When they got to the street and the moonlight was shining down, Qin Rushuang realized something was wrong.
Said to be a night detective, Xie Xun was wearing black clothes, but he was actually wearing a long white gauze. Where he stood, it couldn't be more conspicuous.
"Why don't you, Your Majesty, wait a minute and I'll go back and change my clothes."
"No need."
Qin Rushuang thought about it. The Taoist temple was not a dragon's pond or a tiger's den. She just went to inquire about it and was not prepared to scare the snake, so she set off with Xie Xun.
When the two of them arrived outside the Taoist temple, Qin Rushuang secretly regretted that she had been careless!
There seems to be something wrong with this Taoist temple. There were Taoist priests patrolling outside the Taoist temple in the middle of the night!
And it seems that he is not a Taoist priest on night duty, but is seriously observing the environment around the Taoist temple, with a vigilant look on his face.
She is a little too conspicuous in this white dress!
"What should I do?" Qin Rushuang approached Xie Xun and asked in a low voice.
Then he sounded a little annoyed and said, "It's all my fault that Qingzhi Nazi kept urging me and didn't even change my clothes."
Qin Rushuang did this unintentionally. She just wanted to lower her voice for fear of being heard by the patrolling Taoist priests. However, she did not know that she and Xie Xun were very close, so she deliberately lowered her voice. Her warm breath touched Xie Xun's ears and body.
The faint fragrance also reached Xie Xun's nose.
Xie Xun was a little distracted for a while.
Their location was a small forest outside the Taoist temple.
Seeing the patrolling Taoist priest getting closer and closer, Qin Rushuang didn't get a response from Xie Xun, so she urged him: "Your Majesty, let's go around to the back, or..."
Xie Xun finally realized what Qin Rushuang was telling him, so he turned around and asked in a low voice, "Hmm...?"
It's just that the two of them were very close to each other. Following Xie Xun's movements, their breaths blended together, the tips of their noses almost touched each other, and their lips were only a finger apart.
Caught off guard by being so close, Qin Rushuang immediately stood up and backed away.
Suddenly, there was a dry branch behind, and Qin Rushuang stepped on it. With a "click", the branch broke, and Qin Rushuang fell backwards.
"ah--"
Even though Xie Xun quickly stepped forward with quick eyes and hands, grabbed Qin Rushuang's waist and lifted her up, a low cry inevitably escaped Qin Rushuang's mouth.
"who?!"
At the same time, the Taoist priest who was about to walk away from the grove suddenly heard the movement here and asked loudly, "Who is there?!"
Qin Rushuang covered her mouth tightly and signaled Xie Xun with her eyes, what should I do?!
The Taoist priest's footsteps were getting closer and closer, and the sound he made just now attracted other Taoist priests on the side.
The place where they were standing was behind a tree. If there was no sound, nothing could be seen. But if they really came to check, Qin Rushuang would be easily seen just by her white clothes.
In desperation, Xie Xun untied the outer robe of his clothes and said to Qin Rushuang: "Get in!"
"Ah...ah?!"
"Ah, what? Your white clothes are too eye-catching. I will block them first."
As he spoke, he hugged Qin Rushuang into his arms without waiting for Qin Rushuang's reaction.
And the tip of Qin Rushuang's nose was filled with the sharp fragrance of Xie Xun's body, and the sound of Xie Xun's strong heartbeat was in her ears.
Thump...thump...thump...
The footsteps were getting closer and closer. Xie Xun knew that continuing like this was not an option. Someone was coming soon, and both of them were sweating.
The footsteps were closer.
As long as the man raised his head, he could see where the two of them were. Fortunately, a sound suddenly came from behind the Taoist priest at this time.
"What's wrong, Brother Zhou?" It turned out that two Taoist priests patrolling at the other end came.
The Taoist priest from before stopped and said, "I seemed to hear something moving just now, did you hear it?"
The two Taoist priests scratched their heads and said, "We didn't hear it. Could it be that you heard it wrong, senior brother?"
Another one also said: "I didn't hear it either, could it be a wild cat?"
At this time, Xie Xun suddenly lowered his head and whispered to Qin Rushuang: "Line like a cat."
In order not to attract people's attention, Xie Xun kept his voice very low and very close to Qin Rushuang's ear.
Qin Rushuang could even feel the warm breath blowing on her ears. She didn't know if it was an illusion, but the flash of warmth seemed to be Xie Xun's lips.
"Quickly learn to meow like a cat." Xie Xun urged.
"I...I can't!"
"Hurry up, they are coming soon!"
How can I get her to meow like a cat?!
Qin Rushuang was furious and whispered in Xie Xun's ear, "I won't scream! I want the prince to scream himself!"
"Be good, I don't know how to imitate you. If you don't scream, you will be discovered soon."
Seeing that the three people had finished their conversation and were walking this way, Qin Rushuang reluctantly pinched her nose and let out a "meow".
"Look, I just said it was a wild cat. Senior brother, don't be too nervous. Who will come to the Taoist temple in the middle of the night?"
"That's right, hasn't spring just passed? There are also wild cats called spring... Hey, don't tell me, this cat meows quite nicely, and it sounds very delicate!"
"Okay, okay," said the Taoist priest who spotted Qin Rushuang earlier, "I'll still be guarding this place. You two will guard the place where Master placed the incense after you left. Don't slack off, you know?"
"I understand, senior brother."
The Taoist priest peered into the forest again. It was midnight, the night wind was blowing, and the forest was very dark. He didn't find any clues, so he finally walked in the opposite direction.
When the others left, Qin Rushuang suddenly opened Xie Xun's arms.
"What did you just pull me for?! I want to go out and show him a good look!! What is Chun's wild cat? His name is Chun!!"
"Yes, yes, his name is Chun! Don't be angry." Xie Xun tried to comfort him with a smile.
The two of them took advantage of the time when no one was patrolling around and entered the Taoist temple.
And their goal is only one——
The place where incense is placed in the mouths of those two little Taoist priests just now!
