She said, "Do you still remember that you asked me to find her at that time, and what else did you say?"
I was so uncomfortable that my heart was emptied. How could I remember what I said a few years ago? But when I saw her asking me this, I could only grit my teeth and try my best to recall it.
It seems that I did tell her...
If you can really find Yue Qingying, if it proves that she is safe, then that's fine. Nothing needs to be done, only one thing - tell her, don't go back to Huangze Temple again.
Don't go back to Huangze Temple.
Because at that time, Shen Xiaokun had already told me that Huangze Temple was burned by fire, and I was worried that if she went back, she would be out of place, so I asked A Lan to bring her this sentence.
The words that were originally said suddenly traveled through countless days and nights, and clearly appeared in my mind. I was suddenly shocked, looked at A Lan with wide eyes, and then slowly looked at the charred broken wall.
My breathing was suffocated: "You mean-"
She said calmly: "As the overlord of one side, Pei Yuanxiu may kill anyone who is not good for him, but he kills a nun who appears to have no conflict of interest with him, especially this nun is still your friend. You must know that he is so kind to you and obeys everything. He gives you whatever you want, but kills your friend on his back. This is definitely not that simple."
“…”
"I think there is a big problem behind this, and he must have some ulterior motives, so I plan to continue pursuing it, and then I remembered that you once told me to tell the nun not to go back to Huangze Temple."
"So, you found out here?"
"That's right."
"Then, what did you find?"
"Actually, nothing was found. After the fire was encountered here, there was only a piece of ruins. Although the monks wanted to rebuild the place, they went to beg for alms everywhere before they had collected the donations. There was nothing in this place."
"That--"
"Although there is nothing left here, there are some things that are not like the temple, and they will be gone if they burn."
“For example—”
"For example, the truth." She looked at me, her eyes flashed: "For example, how did this fire burn? Is it an unintentional mistake, intentional? Is it a natural disaster or a man-made disaster?"
My breathing gradually became tense: "Then have you found it? Is it a natural disaster or a man-made disaster?"
Alan said: "It was originally necessary to check it, but it was difficult to find it out. After all, it has been burned for so long and nothing has been left behind. But coincidentally, there are people from our Miaoshan Sect doing business nearby."
“…”
Of course I know what the Miaoshan Sect, the gang she belongs to, does. The so-called "buying and dealing" is not a clean business, but it is not easy to pursue those details at this time. I looked at her with a bright look: "It's your fellow disciple, what do they know?"
"Yes, they knew that the fire was not a natural disaster, not an unintentional mistake, but intentional, and man-made disaster."
"Who is it that caused the man-made disaster?"
"It's... the Minister of War."
“…!”
Maybe when Nangong Jinhong saw Zhao Shuyuan and said those words, I could already feel this answer, but when I actually heard Alan say this, my heart still blew.
It was really Nangong Jinhong. He sent someone to burn Huangze Temple and wanted to burn Zhao Shuyuan to death!
And Nangong Jinhong, he had already started to do business for Pei Yuanxiu!
Feeling my suffocation, Alan chuckled, looked at me and said, "No one around you seems to be a simple person."
I glanced at her and couldn't speak.
Indeed, no one is a simple person, Pei Yuanxiu and Nangong Jinhong. These people are all people who have been tempered from the palace and in the court. Every word of their words has a profound meaning. Every smile may be hidden behind them that cannot be blamed.
I suddenly felt exhausted and almost collapsed. I hurriedly walked a few steps, walked to the somewhat broken wall, reached out to support me, and barely supported myself.
And the whole thing has become a line in my mind.
After Pei Yuanxiu saved me, as A Lan said, he might have killed Yue Qingying, who was on the same boat as me in a few days; after that, I got the news from Shen Xiaokun that Huangze Temple was on fire and Zhao Shuyuan died. If there is really a causal relationship between this series of things, it should be that Pei Yuanxiu got some news from Yue Qingying, and killed her in order to silence her, and then Nangong Jinhong took action to burn Huangze Temple and kill Zhao Shuyuan.
And I can think of only one piece of information he got from Yue Qingying.
Yue Qingying came to find Zhao Shuyuan for her son.
This incident was caused by Empress Yin, and the secret that had been covered with decades was suddenly exposed. He could only kill these two people through this incident to hide everything behind the incident.
And that truth may be-
This fact is about to emerge!
Alan walked up to me and felt my breathing more and more rapid. She frowned slightly and said, "What the hell is going on? You must have thought of something."
I looked up at her, but before I could speak, I heard Susu's anxious shouts coming from a distance.
"Shuyuan, what are you doing, Shuyuan? Don't run away!"
Is it Zhao Shuyuan?
I hurriedly got up and saw two figures chasing towards this side in the night. Zhao Shuyuan was running in front of me. She looked frightened and ran towards this side with anxiety. I didn't even have time to say anything. She rushed over and almost fell down the steps beside me.
Fortunately, Alan had quick eyes and quick hands, so he caught her.
But even so, she was restless and struggled constantly, making a "whimper" sound from her mouth, as if a beast that had lost its mind was desperately reaching out toward the ruins, as if she wanted to catch something.
When I saw this, I subconsciously said, "Alan, please let her go."
Alan was stunned, looked at me, and understood what was coming, so he let go of his hand.
Zhao Shuyuan staggered and ran down, and we hurriedly followed her, and saw her stumbled in the ruins, as if she had seen something, and she seemed to have returned to the sea of fire. She trembled desperately, and finally stopped in the center of the ruins.
She whimpered and sobbed, and suddenly a burst of laughter burst out from the crying sound, and she said loudly: "You want to kill me. Do you think you have killed me, so no one knows your secret?"
“…”
