"Go in!" Xue Ru stumbled, and the door slammed shut with a bang.
She looked up at the simple Zen room, smelled the lingering scent of sandalwood, and frowned.
This Miss Xu San is really a demon king. She arrests people whenever she wants, and actually brought her to the nunnery.
Xue Ru sat down next to the bed, his face full of gloom.
She originally thought that by killing Xu Huan and supporting Fang Yi to take over, Nan Yuan would be in her palm. Unexpectedly, Xu Huan was alive and Fang Yi was dead. This mission was a complete failure.
There was a leak in the house and it rained all night. The prince of Nan'an was not careful in his work, so the princess discovered her existence. A crazy princess also invited Miss Xu San and inexplicably tricked her into the nunnery.
If he couldn't escape in time this time, he might be forced to get tonsured - Xue Ru believed that Miss Xu San could really do it.
At this point, it was useless for her to be anxious. Anyway, the news had been handed out. When the opportunity came, she would just find a way to escape.
Xue Ru looked at the house. Although it was simple, it was still clean. The bedding didn't smell like anything.
She knocked on the door: "Is anyone there?"
The maid's fierce voice came from outside the door: "What's going on?"
Xue Ru asked: "Two aunts, do you know when the tonsure will be scheduled? I would like to be prepared."
The two maids looked at each other and replied: "The abbot said that if today is not as good as tomorrow, then tomorrow will be the day."
Xue Ru breathed a sigh of relief.
Tomorrow, there is still time.
Not to mention, she was really afraid that this Miss Xu San would do something bad, so she just shaved off her hair...
Xue Ru touched it with pity. It was not easy for her to maintain this black hair. She washed it with eggs every day and applied it with essential oils to make it black and smooth. If she really had to shave it, she would have to vomit three liters of blood.
Thinking of this, Xue Ru asked again: "Auntie, can you give me a basin of water? Since I will be tonsured tomorrow, I have to wash myself clean, otherwise I am afraid of blaspheming the Bodhisattva."
One of the servants said: "You need to wash yourself well. If you come in front of the Bodhisattva with your whole body smelling bad, I'm afraid you will be offended."
Xue Ru was furious. She had beaten such a cunning woman to death casually in the past, but now she dared to make irresponsible remarks to her!
But not only can she not get angry, she also has to win over others.
Xue Ru suppressed his temper and forced a smile: "So I'm sorry to trouble Auntie, otherwise I can fight it myself."
Naturally, the servant woman couldn't let her go and beat her, so she said, "Okay, just wait!"
…
When it got dark, Xu Yin asked Ji Jing to go out together.
When she explained the matter on the way, Ji Jing understood: "Miss San is trying to lure the snake out of its hole."
Xu Yin nodded: "After Fang Yi died, I found out that he had contact with this woman, and the Prince of Nan'an County was also her guest, so I suspected that it was the plot of the Prince of Nan'an County. But I saw it today, Nan'an County Prince
The king really doesn't look like a master in front of her. There might be someone else behind this woman."
Ji Jingdao: "It's not unreasonable for Third Miss to think so. Prince Nan'an has been in Nanyuan for more than ten years and has been figured out by adults. He has no connections and no courage to do such a thing."
His tone was very sure, and he must know the Duke's Palace well. Xu Yin sighed in his heart, if he hadn't been tricked by others in his previous life, and with his father around, Nanyuan would never have fallen into the hands of others.
Speaking of which, who captured Nanyuan later? She remembered that after Fang Yi came to power, his strength was greatly reduced due to internal strife. Nanyuan was torn between various rebel kings and struggled to survive. In the end, he surrendered to Duke Zhao.
Earn a way out.
Could it be Duke Zhao?
Xu Yin shook his head intuitively, unwilling to believe this possibility.
Because Duke Zhao was kind to their sisters.
I remember that when the Dongjiang Palace was defeated, she and her sister were almost killed by the general who searched the palace as monsters, but it was Duke Zhao who saved them.
The elder advised this way: "The King of Dongjiang failed because of his own perversion and immorality. What does he have to do with these two little girls? They are like duckweeds and can't control their lives. They are pitiful enough, so let them go."
A way out!"
Because of this, Xu Yin has always been grateful to Duke Zhao in his heart. Even though he knew that Fang Yi had taken refuge with him, he did not express his anger.
After all, Duke Zhao's situation is gradually becoming more and more important, and he may not be aware of the many generals who have surrendered in the face of the wind.
Xu Yin speculated that Fang Yi was not satisfied with Duke Zhao, otherwise, why would he take the hard job of killing people at the border.
The two of them took advantage of the darkness and quietly entered Baiyun Nunnery.
The servant woman came over and reported: "...I asked for water to wash myself, ate two steamed buns, and then went to bed."
As a prisoner, this Miss Xue was so knowledgeable that she didn't cause any trouble at all and looked like she really wanted to be tonsured.
Xu Yin and Ji Jing looked at each other and said, "She is saving her strength. It seems that someone will come to rescue her at night."
Ji Jing nodded: "Don't worry, Third Miss, I will arrange the manpower right now."
Xu Yin rubbed his eyes: "Then I'll go to sleep for a while. I've been watching the show all day and I'm exhausted."
Seeing the sleepiness on her face, Ji Jing couldn't help but smile. Children love sleepiness, and the third lady hasn't grown up yet!
"Go, it's almost time, I'll send someone to call you."
…
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Xue Ru opened his eyes.
It was quiet outside, except for a wind lantern swaying in the corner of the eaves.
She climbed up lightly, neatly tied her hair into a bun for easy movement, then opened her small bag and tied things up one by one.
After getting ready, she waited for a while and finally heard a gentle knock on the door outside.
Xue Ru opened the door softly, and two men in black stood outside the door.
"Where are the guards?" Xue Ru lowered his voice.
One of the men in black pointed to the hut next to him: "I'm stunned."
Xue Ru nodded and followed them out the door.
Going out from the small courtyard, the road was quiet, with only the occasional nuns on vigil passing by.
Xue Ru breathed a sigh of relief. The guards were not strict. It seemed that Miss Xu San was just capricious in arresting her and did not really know anything.
Thinking of this, Xue Ru felt angry.
She came to Nanyuan to do something big. It was good that she didn't leak any serious things, but she was detained because of such a trivial matter.
Unfortunately, she couldn't take revenge right now. Nanyuan was still the territory of the Xu family, so she couldn't go against Miss Xu San.
Xue Ru took out a breath and comforted herself.
It doesn't matter, when Nan Yuan changes hands, she can take revenge any way she wants. Miss Xu San is proud now, and when her father dies, she won't just let others rub him into pieces.
The most important thing now is to escape. Fang Yi is dead, and he is being targeted by the princess. Nanyuan's affairs are out of control, so he can only stop the loss in time and go back to recover.
Xue Ru followed the two men in black over the wall and left the nunnery. After taking a detour, they got into the carriage that had been prepared long ago.
With a flick of the whip, the carriage galloped forward.
After half an hour, the carriage stopped.
Xue Xi got out of the car. The man in black driving the car whistled, and several men in black appeared faintly from the grass.
"The mission failed." Xue Ru looked at them and said in a deep tone, "Abandon the plan and return."
