C549 Plotted against (1/2)

”Amitabha, I hope you will forgive me for not knowing your honored master's arrival.” He bowed to Her Majesty. The empress dowager hastened to say, ”Master, there is no need to be like this. I only came here to pray for my disappointing daughter-in-law's blessings.” There was no need for the master to have these people gather so many people. Everyone should leave. This one alone is enough. ” The Empress said.

There really weren't many people that the empress dowager could be so respectful to. Mu Ru Yue stealthily glanced at his master, who had spoken to Feng Qing many times before, and thought to himself, So he really did have real talent.

If not, how could the empress dowager, with her character, tolerate him?

”We naturally don't dare to go against Esteemed Empress Dowager's wishes. If anything happens, we'd like to invite Esteemed Empress Dowager to the meditation room to look for us.” ”Now, we'll go pray for esteemed empress.” With that, the host led the group of young monks away.

There were only a few young monks left in the courtyard. The empress dowager had never thought that the empress dowager would leave so straightforwardly. She was a bit depressed, but thinking that this person was a true master, she decided against it.

He said to the crowd, ”Wait, in this temple, you should maintain your respect and remember to pray for the Queen. After paying respects to the Buddha, he would head to the Zen Courtyard. This is the main hall where This Dowager will wholeheartedly pay her respects to the Buddha. ” With that, the empress dowager walked into the main hall.

Everyone entered, bowing in greeting before heading off to some other place.

Everyone present was somewhat depressed. One must know that it would be better if they attended the banquet back at the Peach Blossom Forest. After all, it would be over soon. Furthermore, it was hosted by Princess Wushuang, so they did not need to worry about offending their benefactor.

But now?

The empress dowager and empress dowager were both present, with the majority of them being officials. If something happened here, they would be the first ones to be blamed. Therefore, many people were feeling depressed at this moment. He didn't even dare leave the empress dowager's side, worrying that something might happen.

”Where is elder sister going?” Just as Murong Yue was about to leave, she heard Murong Xi's voice behind her, carrying some dissatisfaction. Murong Yue halted her steps. In the quiet great hall, Murong Xi's voice also made many people present look over.

”I'm going to look around. ”You can't?” Mu Ru Yue raised her brows.

Murong Xi snorted coldly. ”Everyone is staying here to accompany Esteemed Empress Dowager. Elder sister, you're the Seventh Princess' consort. How are you going to leave?”

As she said that, everyone's gazes fell on Mu Ru Yue. The empress dowager, who was wholeheartedly giving respect to the Buddha, opened her eyes slightly and looked at Mu Ru Yue with a kind expression. ”Alright, Seventh Princess' personality is always like that. It wouldn't be possible for you to make her stay here. Seventh Princess, This Dowager wants an incense stick. Go help me find a host to ask. ” Her Majesty ordered.

”Yes.” Mu Ru Yue originally wanted to leave this place and come back when she was about to leave. Who would've thought that the empress dowager would want her to help with something? She couldn't refuse now, so she could only obediently agree.

”Crown Prince, I'm afraid Seventh Princess doesn't know the way. You should go with her.” The one who spoke was Princess Wushuang. As soon as Princess Wushuang finished her words, everyone's expression turned ambiguous. Who didn't know that Feng Qing and Mu Ru Yue were having an affair? If the two of them were allowed to go together now, wouldn't it be like the world was in chaos?

Mu Ru Yue was also one of the top two and hoped that Feng Qing would reject.

However, in the next second, Feng Qing, who was kneeling down to pay her respects, actually stood up.

”Your Highness?” Murong Xi looked at Feng Qing in disbelief. She hadn't expected that he would really leave with that bitch Mu Ru Yue. She immediately wanted to capture him. But in the next second, she was forced to her knees by Princess Yun Rou.

”Don't mess around.” Princess Yun Rou's voice was ice-cold.

”Mm, a spirit incense is indeed hard to get. Since the Crown Prince has a deeper relationship with the Temple of Huanglin, let him and the Seventh Princess go together.” It was said that this spiritual incense belonged to someone who had requested it, and that it represented someone's intentions. There's a dispute between the empress and Seventh Princess. This one knows about all of this, so let's forget about it. ”

Her Majesty spoke with a look of compassion. Everyone heard this and nodded inwardly, thinking, the empress dowager's method isn't bad.

Mu Ru Yue didn't expect the empress dowager to say such words. Moreover, it looked as though the empress dowager wasn't lying. This … What was going on? Mu Ru Yue was extremely vigilant. However, thinking of Feng Qing, this person, there shouldn't be any problems, so he felt at ease.

”Many thanks to Esteemed Empress Dowager's compassion.” Mu Ru Yue saluted and left the great hall. Feng Qing followed his out as well. Within the room, everyone returned to silence as the empress dowager continued to chant Buddhist mantras.

Princess Yun Rou pulled Murong Xi to a secluded pillar and whispered, ”Esteemed Empress Dowager's orders, you naturally can't act carelessly. Do you know?”

”Why did you let His Highness go with her!” Murong Xi said with dissatisfaction.
