“It’s too late. Go back. The wind is strong at night. Take care.”
After Xie Yunhe comforted Cheng Lian softly, he took off his cloak and covered her.
This man was like this. No matter how cold he was, he could always coax her with the gentlest words.
Cheng Lian almost fell into his gentle trap.
It was not until Cheng Lian saw him turn a corner in the night and walk towards Cheng Sang’s courtyard that her heart sank to the bottom.
Had Cheng Sang felt so uncomfortable back then?
No.
Cheng Sang went crazy. She didn’t know what discomfort was at all. Only she had endured all the pain from the beginning to the end.
“Madam.”
The maidservant whispered.
She only dared to speak like this.
Cheng Lian had already been addressed in public as a concubine maidservant. The maidservant was afraid that if she called Madam and the eldest branch heard her, they would chase her out.
Cheng Lian took a deep breath and slowly asked, “Prepare the carriage. I want to leave the residence.”
“Madam, it’s very late…”
“Now, I can’t even order a little maid around, right?”
“No, Madam!”
The maidservant was so frightened that her face turned pale. Madam had really become more and more temperamental recently.
The maidservant prepared the carriage. Cheng Lian sat in it and went to the dye shop. She found Uncle Han and asked him to go to the Holy Maiden Temple.
Originally, she did not care. She was just a little liar from town. So what if she was lucky enough to get first place in a round?
The final position of the Saintess would not fall into her hands.
At the thought that Cheng Sang would be smug about that girl’s first place, she felt disgusted, jealous, and crazy!
“Madam, are you sure you want to do this?” Uncle Han asked.
“Even you are questioning my decision?” Cheng Lian asked angrily.
Uncle Han sensed Cheng Lian’s anger. He did not ask what had happened. Instead, he said, “I just feel that the privileges in the Saintess’s hands are very precious. It’s not too late to use them at the end.”
The Saintess could not directly decide who would be the next Saintess, but she could decide who would not be the Saintess.
This was the privilege of the Saintess.
However, it could only be used once.
That was why Uncle Han said that it was more appropriate to use it last.
Cheng Lian said, “I’ve made up my mind. Go find the Saintess. I don’t want to see that girl in the next round.”
Uncle Han sighed helplessly. “Yes.”
Uncle Han immediately brought a batch of satin to the Holy Maiden Temple.
Unexpectedly, something happened to the Saintess.
In the meeting hall, the eight elders gathered and sat on both sides. The Saintess stood in the middle of the hall.
“As I said, I don’t know those children, and I didn’t break the rules of the Holy Maiden Temple.”
Elder Ji smiled. “But what did the three children say? They called you mother on the streets. This is an undeniable fact. You can’t deny it, right?”
The Saintess looked at her coldly. “Doesn’t Elder Ji know this better than me?”
Elder Ji chuckled. “Don’t put the blame on me. You make it sound like those children were found by the Ji family and me.”
That was right. The assassins that night was indeed arranged by the Ji family. The rumors that the Saintess had given birth to a few children were also spread by those men in black.
But she did not fabricate the children.
If not for the fact that there were really children in the secret room of the Qionghua Hall, who would have thought of using the triplets to “trap” the Saintess?
After all, a rumor about the Saintess giving birth to triplets sounded very fake!
The current situation was that the Saintess was certain that the triplets and the little girl were arranged by the Ji family, and Elder Ji was certain that the children were secretly born by the Saintess herself.
Elder Ji said, “Five years ago, you left the Holy Temple to travel around. You left for more than half a year. Who knows if you gave birth to triplets at that time?”
The Saintess asked, “What did that girl say?”
“Alright, stop arguing,” Elder Lou, who was the oldest, slowly said. She was the most experienced elder. Even the Saintess had to give her some face.
The Saintess said seriously, “If everyone doesn’t believe me, I’m willing to accept a physical examination.”
“There’s no need,” Elder Lou said. “Saintess, go to the Holy Mountain for a few days.”
‘Why?”
The Holy Mountain was a forbidden area of the Holy Maiden Temple. Other than the regular opening of the Holy Selection, one could only enter when they were picking herbs or being punished.
In this situation, it was obvious that she was not asking the Saintess to pick herbs.
“I didn’t do anything wrong. Why should I be punished?” The Saintess was not convinced.
“This is the will of the King of the Southern Wilderness.”
A feminine voice sounded unhurriedly outside the hall. The Saintess turned around. “Eunuch Jin.”
Eunuch Jin was in his thirties and was a eunuch.
There was a faint smile on his lips, but the sharpness in his eyes was chilling. “I wonder if the Saintess has any objections?”
If the Saintess’ personal actions humiliated the Holy Maiden Temple, she should be punished. This was the rule of the Holy Maiden Temple and also the commandment of the Holy Maiden Temple.
“Qingyao has no objections,” the Saintess said calmly.
Eunuch Jin smiled and said, “You don’t have to worry about the next Holy Selection.”
This meant that she was not allowed to participate anymore.
The Saintess clenched her fists.
Eunuch Jin’s smile did not change. “In addition, His Majesty asked me to ask the Saintess for something.”
“Hurry up and go back.” Outside the Holy Maiden Temple, Emissary Lu said to Uncle Han, “Don’t come over again for the time being. The Saintess is at the center of the storm and her reputation is damaged. Even the royal family is alarmed.”
The people of the Southern Wilderness believed in the Holy Maiden Temple. The more pious they were, the more they could not tolerate it.
They firmly believed that once the Saintess was impure, it would attract the wrath of the heavens and bring calamity to the entire southern border.
Uncle Han did not expect this to happen.
She had been a Saintess for so many years and had never made any mistakes. She was about to step down in glory when such a thing suddenly happened.
THis was going to ruin the Saintess’s reputation…
Uncle Han left with a headache.
It seemed that Madam’s instructions could not be completed.
However, fortunately, they had already planned everything. The position of the Second Miss’s Saintess was in the bag.
The most important thing now was to find a way to prove the Saintess’ innocence.
“Where did the Ji family get the triplets? This is the first time I’ve seen triplets in so many years…”
In the carriage, Uncle Han was puzzled.
When he reacted, he suddenly sensed that something was wrong.
He lifted the curtain and looked at the coachman.
This was not his coachman. He was too burly!
“Who are you?” he asked warily.
The other party did not say anything and knocked him out with an iron fist.
Literally, iron fists.
After all, Wei Liulang’s golden arm was indeed made of metal.
When Uncle Han woke up, he realized that he was blindfolded and sitting on a cold chair with his hands and feet tied.
“Are you awake?” Wei Ting asked coldly.
Uncle Han frowned. He felt that this voice was familiar, but he couldn’t remember where he had heard it before.
“Don’t waste your breath on him. I’ll cut off one of his fingers first,” Wei Liulang said as he pulled out his dagger and grabbed Uncle Han’s hand.
Uncle Han was frightened and struggled in the chair. “What are you doing! Stop! Stop!”
Wei Liulang threatened, “If you don’t want us to cut off your finger, tell us the truth. Why did the Saintess capture Wei Xu?” wei xu?
They had already found out that person’s identity?
Uncle Han asked, “Are you… from the Ji family?”
“Do you want to silence him, Brother?” Wei Ting asked.
Silencing… was indeed from the Ji family!
Ghostfear said, “If he’s willing to cooperate obediently, I’ll spare his wretched life.”
Wei Liulang patted Uncle Han’s face with his dagger. “Did you hear that? Our brother said that if you cooperate obediently, he won’t kill you. But if I find out that you’re lying, I’ll immediately chop off your fingers one by one and feed them to you!”
Uncle Han shivered.
The three brothers had endless methods of torturing people.
In the end, Uncle Han could not resist and confessed the truth he knew.
“It’s for the sake of restoring the country… Wei Xu… is a descendant of Emperor Wii!”
