Chapter 159 Escape from danger, Prince Junwei (4)

After the morning court the next day, Xu Jingshi took his wife and a few nephews out of the city to Jingling Temple to burn incense. At this time, it did not attract many people's ideas. After all, the Xu family loved their niece and niece in the capital. At that time, Xu Jingshi met Shangshu Mansion and King Li without hesitation in order to stand up for his niece. Later, Princess Ding got married and several princes of the Xu family even came forward to send their cousin to marry her. Now Princess Ding was missing inexplicably in the fire, and it was normal for the Xu family to go to the temple to burn incense and pray for Princess Ding to pray for Princess Ding. People like the emperor or Prince Li who may or may pay attention to this have been dizzy by the waves caused by the disappearance of Princess Ding these days, so naturally they did not have so much time to pay attention to whether their ministers should rest at home or burn incense in the temple after going to court.

As Ye Li's close friend and the Xu family's future second young lady, Qin Zheng also went with Mrs. Xu. She was really worried about her missing friend. When she entered Jingling Temple, she accompanied Mrs. Xu to worship all the Buddha statues and Bodhisattvas in the temple. Mrs. Xu was even more satisfied when she saw this gentle and lovely future daughter-in-law. After worshiping the Buddha, Mrs. Xu went to the wing room to rest. Qin Zheng waved her back and recited scriptures and prayed alone in the quiet Buddhist temple, but was startled by a clear voice in her ear, "Ms. Qin."

Qin Zheng was shocked. When she turned around, she saw a handsome boy wearing a moon-white cloth standing beside her. Qin Zheng frowned, feeling that the boy who smiled slightly at her was a bit strange and familiar, but she hated that she did not know the boy. "I don't know who the young master is, how could he be here?" Qin Zheng stood up, stared at the boy in front of her vigilantly, and pushed a few steps without hesitation. Ye Li saw it in her eyes, and her heart was faint.

A smile made me think I didn't know. I lifted my clothes and knelt on the cushion in front of the Buddha statue and prayed like Qin Zheng before. I looked back at Qin Zheng who looked at me and smiled and said, "I came here to pray for blessings. Miss Qin, don't be nervous. I am old acquaintance with Mr. Xu, please tell Mr. Xu that my surname is Chu, Chu Junwei." Qin Zheng was stunned for a moment, as if she understood something. He nodded calmly and said to Ye Li, "I understand, I will bring the words for the master."

"So, thank you Miss Qin." Ye Li said with a smile.

Ye Li sat in the back hall of the Buddhist temple to rest. This is a Buddhist temple where few people come from Jingling Temple. The remote place is not very prominent gods and Buddhas. Therefore, except for the little novice monks who are cleaning, few people come here.

"Li'er?"

Ye Li opened her eyes and stood up, and saw Xu Hongyan and Xu Qingze standing at the door, frowned and looked at her. Ye Li smiled, "Second uncle, second brother, don't you recognize me anymore?" Xu Hongyan looked at her for a long time before shook her head and said, "You girl, I really didn't recognize you when I met outside just now." Xu Qingze's cold face was a little warmer than usual, and he nodded silently to indicate that he didn't recognize him either. Ye Li smiled apologetically: "I saw that my second uncle seemed to be talking to the abbot, and Li'er was inconvenient to go over and had to invite her second uncle and second brother here."

The three of them sat down, and Xu Hongyan looked at her dressed in men's clothes and frowned and scolded, "You girl, since you have escaped from danger, why don't you go back to the royal palace? If the prince had not sent someone to send a letter saying that you were fine, the letter to Yunzhou would have been sent out. Do you want to be anxious about your grandfather?"

Seeing his second uncle's anxious look, Ye Li felt very guilty and blinked his eyes and looked at him pitifully, "Second uncle, Li'er knows that he is wrong. But... there is no benefit to Li'er going back now. If it doesn't happen once, they will naturally have the next plan, which is not as good as it is now. I am secretly and they are in a clear light, and they will see who plots against whom."

Xu Hongyan glared at her and said, "Your plan is good. Now it's circulating in the market that King Ding Ke's wife is circulating."

Ye Li smiled and said, "That's nothing wrong. Even if I'm gone, Mo Xiuyao can't marry anyone else."

Xu Qingze sat quietly on the side listening to their conversation, frowned and looked at Ye Li and asked, "What other plans do Li'er have?" Princess Ding could not have been disguised as a man and stayed in the capital for a long time. If she had too much contact with them, she would be discovered one day. Ye Li put away the smile on her face, looked at her uncle and cousin seriously and said, "I'm going to go to southern Xinjiang."

"Nothing!" Xu Hongyan shouted angrily.

"Second uncle..." Ye Li looked at Xu Hongyan helplessly, and at the same time signaled Xu Qingze to speak for herself with her eyes. Unfortunately, Xu Qingze also frowned and looked at her with disagreement. Xu Hongyan waved his hand and said, "Don't say anything, stay in the capital impatiently and go to Yunzhou. It just so happens that you haven't seen your grandfather for many years."

"Uncle... I am the Princess of Ding. How could I run away just because I was impatient to deal with the people and things in the capital? Then Mo Xiuyao was a little too much to marry me." Ye Li smiled. Xu Hongyan looked at her sideways and said lightly: "Can you still want to go to southern Xinjiang to do something? People in the Princess of Ding's Mansion all have meal bags in the lounge, but do you want a princess to go so far in person? Don't tell me, go and explain to your grandfather and uncle."

"Second uncle..." Ye Li looked at her dress, and it was really hard to act like a spoiled girl in her daughter's house, so she had to look at her second uncle innocently, "Brother is there too, second uncle doesn't have to worry about my safety."

"Does King Ding know what you mean?" Xu Hongyan asked.

Ye Li felt a little guilty. She had never met Mo Xiuyao before.

"What do Li'er wants to do when she goes to southern Xinjiang?" Xu Qingze looked at Ye Li and asked incisively.

Ye Li glanced at him complainingly, and replied honestly: "The situation in southern Xinjiang is worse than that in the capital. I am not at ease when my elder brother is alone in southern Xinjiang. It just so happens that I don't need to show up in the capital for the time being, so I want to go to southern Xinjiang to see it." Xu Hongyan frowned and said: "Your elder brother is responsible for his work and will do his best. What can you do if your daughter's house is gone? As for the capital... King Ding plans to use your missing incident to make the emperor and the empress dowager fight?"

"They were fighting hard, but they shouldn't have brought the Ding King's Mansion in." Ye Li frowned and said, "The Ding King's Mansion cannot always wait for someone to plot against, and my uncle must also know why my elder brother went to southern Xinjiang. If the southern Xinjiang is unstable, the entire Chu may fall into war. Since Li'er has married into the Ding King's Mansion, the Ding King's Mansion's position is Li'er's position. I can't sit in the boudoir like other noble ladies and ignore anything, and no one will give me this opportunity, right?" Xu Hongyan frowned and said, "You... take care of the matter of the Ding Mansion, so that the Ding King has no worries and has fulfilled your responsibility as a princess."

"Since you are a husband and wife, you should share weal and woe. The prince cannot travel far away at all. What's wrong with me doing what he cannot do?" Ye Li said firmly. Ye Li occasionally thinks of Mo Xiuyao's words and feels vaguely uneasy. If the situation in southern Xinjiang is out of control or even develops to the situation they expected, Mo Xiuyao will definitely lead his troops to fight without regard for his body. Ye Li couldn't imagine whether he would be back if he really went to fight with Mo Xiuyao's body. And Xu Qingchen, Mr. Qingchen is right. However, even if the Xu family is a century-old clan, it is absolutely impossible to compete with the royal palace of masters in terms of protection. Ye Li knew clearly that Xu Qingchen was indeed a weak young man who did not know martial arts.
