The next day, the sky was slightly red and the Zheng Mansion was quiet. Only the housewives were busy. Zheng Wei quietly left her small courtyard to go to Ma Peng to get her horse and was about to leave through the back door. She met her mother at the door of the courtyard.

Sister-in-law He next to me, she belatedly realized that she came back too late yesterday and did not send greetings to her grandmother and mother.

"Sister-in-law He, but mother has trouble with me?"

Zheng Wei said with a smile.

Sister-in-law He smiled at Zheng Wei. Seeing that Zheng Wei looked bad and guessed that she had stayed up all night, she said with concern: "Princess, don't think this servant is nagging you. No matter how busy you are, you must have a good rest. If you are sick, Madam must

How worried!”

"I understand," Zheng Wei listened patiently, "I have an emergency trip to the city today, so I'll have a good rest when I get back."

"Go by yourself and bring more people with you. If you feel that it's not easy to take A Luo with you, bring a few guards. Madam and uncle can rest assured!"

Seeing Zheng Wei alone, Sister-in-law He said hurriedly.

"A Luo went to help me prepare my horse. I am on official business today. Someone will be with me, so I don't have to worry."

Zheng Wei hurriedly explained. Ah Luo, who was hiding behind the door, heard that he hurriedly climbed out of the courtyard wall and happily went to the stable to prepare the horses.

Hearing this, Sister-in-law He seemed to be relieved a lot, and then she suddenly remembered what happened, and quickly reminded Zheng Wei, "Princess, Madam asked your servant to remind you that Princess Zhaoyang's hairpin ceremony will be held in three days. Can you please

do not forget!"

"I can't forget. I'm going to Jiming Temple today and will return home later. I won't go far away!"

Zheng promised with a smile and then left, "It's getting late, I have to leave quickly!"

Since she had been discovered, there was no need to go through the back door. She went straight to the door of Zheng's mansion. Sure enough, A Luo had already prepared a horse and was waiting for her.

Sister-in-law He received Zheng Wei's assurance and happily replied to the eldest princess.

The princess has her own rules and regulations. Ever since she promised to the eldest princess, she has never traveled far in the past three years except for Danyang once a year. This time, the eldest princess must be overthinking.

Zheng Wei turned her head and looked behind her, with a strange look on her face. A Luo looked back curiously and asked, "Princess, are you still waiting for someone?"

"No, we're already here." Then Zheng Wei got on his horse and told A Luo, "Follow me."

They galloped all the way north, and when they arrived at the bottom of Jilong Mountain, it was already past time. They tied their horses at the foot of the mountain, threw a few copper coins to the vendor next to them and asked him to look after them, and then walked up the mountain.

Jiming Temple is located on the eastern foot of Jilong Mountain. They walked for about half an hour and arrived at the door of Jiming Temple. A monk who knew the guest came to greet them and saluted, "Are the two benefactors here just for fun or to fulfill their wishes?"

"Young Master, we are looking for someone." Zheng Wei replied straight to the point, "Is the Imperial Master Zhang Ru here as a guest?"

The monk Zhike was stunned when he heard this, and then said softly: "Two donors, come with the young monk."

Zheng Wei and A Luo followed the monk Zhike to the outside of the abbot's courtyard of Jiming Temple. The monk Zhike turned around and saluted Zheng Wei, "Donor, please wait a moment, the monk will go and report."

Within a quarter of an hour, Zheng Wei saw Zhang Ru in the thatched cottage in the abbot's backyard. He was still wearing a white robe with wide sleeves and holding a floating fairy spirit bone. Standing beside the abbot Zongshan Master, he looked more like an immortal who was about to become an immortal.

Zheng Wei first performed Buddhist rituals to the abbot and apologized: "I came uninvited, sorry for disturbing you!"

“Donor, you’re welcome!”

Abbot Zongshan knew that the princess of Danyang, who was famous in Jiankang, saw that her aura was relatively stable, but her eyes were fixed on Zhang Ru. Apparently she had something to say, so she took the initiative to give up the thatched cottage to them.

After Abbot Zongshan left, Zheng Wei told A Luo to go out and wait, and then said with a smile: "I didn't expect that the national master, as the head of a religion, actually likes Buddhism."

Zhang Ru smiled lightly and replied: "Buddhism and Taoism are all meant to relieve the sufferings of the world, so there are naturally similarities. Zen Master Zongshan's Buddhism is profound, and I have benefited a lot from it."

"It is truly a great kindness and compassion to relieve the suffering of the world. Master Guan Guo is becoming more and more aware of the immortal energy. He must be ascending to immortality not far away. Before becoming an immortal, can he help relieve the suffering of a mortal?"

"It's really surprising that the princess of Danyang would live like an old man." There was indeed a look of surprise on Zhang Ru's face.

Ever since that incident four years ago, Zheng Wei had always been tense and cold-tempered when she saw him. Even though he was still smiling but not smiling, he was the most kind-hearted person ever.

Zhang Ru was a little curious as to who could make her lower her noble head.

"It seems that the Imperial Master has really turned a deaf ear to what's going on outside the window these days, focusing on studying Taoism. How could he not know anything about what happened in Jiankang City yesterday?"

Zheng Wei sat down opposite Zhang Ru and explained to him calmly, "Yesterday, a servant in the palace stole the palace utensils and secretly sold them to a small courtyard in the West City. This princess happened to break it. Those people didn't know

Was it because he was afraid of being punished, or because he had a grudge against me, that he wanted to kill me? Fortunately, General Xiao rescued me, and I was able to escape. However, General Xiao was seriously injured, and Divine Doctor Luo was not in the capital. The imperial doctors in the palace

I’m helpless.”

Zhang Ru understood Zheng Wei's words and guessed the identity of the person in the courtyard yesterday. Although he was angry in his heart, his face remained calm.

"Princess, I know a little about medicine, but I am not good at it. Your Majesty's illness has been treated for three years without any improvement, so I'm afraid I can't help you."

Zheng Wei was not surprised by Zhang Ru's words. She knew that it was not easy to get something from Zhang Ru.

She saw the tea soup in the earthenware pot on the small clay stove starting to steam. She picked up the wooden spoon next to it and scooped it up and poured it into Zhang Ru's bowl.

Zhang Ru's eyes flashed slightly and he smiled faintly, "It's a pity that the abbot didn't drink this good tea after brewing it for a long time."

"The tea in Danyang is ready this autumn. I will personally deliver it to Master Zongshan. If the Imperial Master is in Jiankang, you can come and have a taste." After Zheng Wei finished speaking, without waiting for Zhang Ru's reaction, his tone suddenly became darker, "National Master

Do you still remember Xunji?"

"I don't know." Zhang Ru's expression did not change.

"Of course, there are so many Imperial Preceptors, how could they still remember him?" Zheng Wei recalled: "It's just that I will never forget this name in this life. I thought that if I haven't found him for so many years, he should be no longer alive, maybe he was found by the Imperial Preceptor.

You silenced me. I didn't expect that I saw him a few days ago."

"Although his mother was rescued, the woman he longed for was killed without mercy by you. He hated you deeply. What do you think he has been doing in hiding for so many years?"

Zheng Wei's voice was very soft, but it was enough for Zhang Ru to hear clearly.

"I've had too few people in the past few years. I've been looking for your people for so long but couldn't find them. I just heard recently that many strongholds have been taken down in the past two years? You don't think it was me?"

Zheng Wei suddenly leaned towards Zhang Ru, with an aggrieved look on her face, "I said why can't I find those people? It turns out that I was afraid of being beaten and hid in it. Oh, it's really amazing. I didn't expect Xunji to have such an ability."

."

"No matter how long a person hides, traces will always appear." Zhang Ru's tone finally lost its previous indifference.

"The Imperial Master is right. You can't hide even one person, let alone a group of rats in the sewer. They have to come out to pick up food! You didn't let me catch a few alive, but you don't know that their bones are tough.

Not hard."

"The old doctor is really not good at it. Princess, if it is useful, just tell me!"

Zhang Ru relaxed after thinking for a moment. Zheng Wei was still a little surprised and thought she had to provide some real evidence to make the old fox relax.
