Chapter 133: The Ceremony of Sacrifice to Heaven (4)

Compared to being angry, she was so sad and disappointed.

It seems that this is many times more uncomfortable than knowing Gu Xi’s betrayal at that time.

"I haven't..."

Gu Wanqing raised her hand and signaled him not to speak.

"Ruohong is a subordinate I started to train three years ago. I have been born and died for me, and I really treat her as a relative. She will not 'bend' to do things for you. That only means that Ruohong has been yours since the first moment he was by my side."

Ruohong finally returned to the General's Mansion some time ago. Gu Wanqing was very happy and wanted to cheer like Xuan Ming.

But Gu Wanqing discovered her lies.

Although her skin color has different degrees of tanning, Ruohong lied that she had been locked in the dungeon. Gu Wanqing was used to observing such subtle details, which was vigilance against the enemy.

In order to verify the conjecture, she later confirmed Ruohong's recent physical condition. No matter what, she looked like she was imprisoned in a dungeon.

There was also a familiar smell of ointment on the back of her neck.

She had smelled this smell on Chu Hao before.

Gu Wanqing went to the pharmacy to confirm that it was the smell of dysfunction ointment. It should be specially made by the Hou Mansion.

The smell of the ointment can remain so far, which means that Ruohong must have used it recently. He has applied the ointment recently and must have been injured when he was on the task.

So, she has been trying to compromise for saving Ruohong, but Ruohong has been helping Bai Jue with work.

And staying with Bai Jue, Ruohong also participated in the design part.

This is even more stupid than being deceived by Gu Xi for so many years.

Bai Jue stood with his hands behind his back, his fingertips trembling slightly under his sleeve, "Wanqing, Ruohong is sincere to you."

He didn't expect that Gu Wanqing would discover the matter that he wanted to choose a date to explain clearly. Faced with such embarrassing questions, Bai Jue couldn't think of any way to defend himself.

Ruohong understood Bai Jue's intention to Gu Wanqing from beginning to end, but Gu Wanqing's kindness to her has always made Ruohong feel guilty.

When she came back this time, Ruohong also explained to Bai Jue that when Gu Wanqing accepted Bai Jue, she would confess everything and ask for punishment. I hope the general can forgive her.

Gu Wanqing smiled bitterly, "She is sincere to you and me, is there any difference? Of course, I won't make things difficult for her, so you can rest assured. She has really saved me before, no matter what the reason. Ruhong would stay in the general's mansion, so I will treat her as before. If I want to return to you, I can also send her off with a smile. But for you, Mr. Bai, please forgive me for not helping you after this case."

Bai Jue wanted to reach out to grab her, but there was still a lot of things he had not said.

"Wanqing, I have never used you. I have never used you in the past five years."

Gu Wanqing pushed him away, "Don't say anything about five years and what I want to marry me. I still have to go to inspect the scene and get busy with my business first."

She ran away quickly.

After saying that, she left. Gu Wanqing felt that she was asking questions herself, but she was also guilty.

Somehow, she was afraid that Bai Jue would continue to say anything, for fear that every word would be a critical blow to her.

No matter what his five years, Gu Wanqing made up his mind to never get involved again.

In this way, she can still be herself, at least she can control her own lives every day.

...

There is an important link in the process of offering sacrifices to the sky at a time of 3:00.

When passing Wuyou Temple, Princess Rong Ruiji needs to go to the temple to burn incense and pray.

On the day of the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony, a very high terrace was set up outside the temple, all of which were built by black incense wood.

Some respected monks in the temple will sprinkle water at the temple door to welcome them. This is a purity ceremony. It means to dispel filth and will be in good weather in the next three years.

The team stopped temporarily and needed to wait for the princess to complete the purity.

Bai Lingshi sat twistingly on the altar, thinking about how the emperor would blame him later and how he could smooth things over.

Rong He rode on the horse and walked in Gu Wanqing's position just now.

For the first time, he stood beside Bai Ling with his guard. This feeling was very subtle, which made him feel a little fresh and not bad.

In Rong He's eyes, Bai Ling was wearing a black feathered dress and sat obediently like a wooden doll, which was very different from her usual steady appearance.

He couldn't help laughing, "This is the first time I've seen you dress up. Well, it's not ugly."

"Your Highness, don't make fun of me." Bai Ling looked bitter.

Rong He turned his head and stared at Bai Ling and smiled slightly. The breeze blew on his face, feeling very comfortable.

His rare smile recently was also reflected in Bai Ling's eyes.

Bai Ling suddenly felt a lot of sourness in his heart.

Rong He used to be the one who loved to laugh the most, and even if he had any trouble, he would not be depressed for a long time.

But now, since that incident happened, he would have looked much more precious when he wanted to see Rong He's smile.

The eldest princess and her accompanying team arrived at Wuyou Temple.

The terrace is huge and spectacular, and Rong Ruiji slowly walked up. It was a glorious moment and was watched by everyone.

The flowers on the forehead are like peonies blooming in the sun, elegant and luxurious. A warm cloud brocade is covered with blue flowers and Suzhou embroidery, and the clothes are winding and mopping the floor.

She stepped onto the terrace step by step and approached Wuyou Temple.

With each step, the figure she stared at in front of her became clearer and clearer.

There is a man in white standing at the gate of Wuyou Temple - Monk Xuansi.

People looked at him and found that he was not wearing a cassock, only plain white clothes, red-brown Buddhist beads hanging on his neck. He held a jade bottle in his hand, and a green branch was inserted into the bottle.

Everyone said that Monk Xuansi looked beautiful like Guanyin’s reincarnation.

He is now the abbot of Wuyou Temple. He is young but has a high level of practice.

Suddenly, a rumbling thunder broke out in the sky.

The sky was thundering, and everyone was shocked.

Almost at the same time as the second thunder sounded, and a huge crack appeared in one corner of the terrace.

Immediately afterwards, the terrace bracket began to collapse like a flood breaking the dam.

The dust is flying around Rong Ruiji, her feet are unstable, and she can't see the road clearly.

"Protect the princess! Protect the princess quickly!"

Everyone was in a mess, and the terrace instantly turned into ruins.

When people wanted to save the princess, she had already fallen from the high terrace.

I saw a snow-white figure flying in the wind, like a soft cloud dragging Rong Ruiji and slowly landing on the ground.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's okay, and there is still abbot Xuan Si here."

Rong Ruiji lay in a strong embrace, with the smell of sandalwood that was close to her nose lingering.

She raised her eyes and the white clothes of Xuan Si were scratched by the falling leaves of the leaves, hanging in strands, making her look a little embarrassed.

The Buddhist beads on the neck also fell to the ground, and one fell into the palm of Rong Ruiji's hand. She held it with the flow and hid it in her sleeve.

Unlike this warm chest, Xuan Si's cold face.
