Chapter 165 The End of the Past
After putting away the bracelet, Ye Wanqing checked it again and gave up when she saw that there was nothing else in the box.

She held the booklet in her hand and said, "I'll copy a copy and give it to Marquis Dingyuan after I return to Beijing."

Ye Chenting reminded: "You must be on guard against others. Dingyuan Hou is a man with deep scheming. Cooperating with him is like seeking the skin of a tiger. You should be careful and don't leave him any handle."

Ye Wanqing nodded: "Don't worry, second brother, I know what's going on."

Since she reached an agreement with Marquis Dingyuan, she had slowly removed herself from the situation, and even her attendants had never revealed themselves to Marquis Dingyuan. Marquis Dingyuan knew that she had someone, but he couldn't tell the truth.

After trying it out for a while, he gave up.

She even handled the evidence handed over to Marquis Dingyuan specially to prevent him from turning against her in the future and implicating her.

She learned all these from Lu Jilian in her previous life.

Seeing that she had an idea in mind, Ye Chenting was relieved: "It's getting dark, the mountain is foggy, and the grass and trees are covered with dew. Let's go back and rest early. After we go down the mountain, I have to go find the master."

Ye Wanqing nodded.

The brother and sister went down the mountain together.

Huan Yan sent Ye Wanqing back to the yard.

At this hour, the monks had all gone to bed, and the mountain temple was so quiet that only the chirping of insects and birds could be heard, and there was a faint scent of sandalwood in the wind.

After returning to the room, Ye Wanqing handed the wooden box to Yingxiang and said, "Put the jade bracelet away carefully and make sure it is not bumped or scratched.

The house deed and land deed in the wooden box will be sent back to the house in Lin'an and handed over to the person guarding the house."

Yingxiang took them one by one.

Afterwards, Ye Wanqing sat at the desk again, lit a lamp and began to copy the book.

It was almost five o'clock in the morning when she put the books in order, washed up and lay down.

The next day, it drizzled.

Ye Chenting came to find her: "It's just as I expected. We need to stay for another day and return to Beijing tomorrow. The master has already ground the ingredients of the elixir and studied it carefully."

Ye Wanqing said, "It would be better to stay for another day. As it happens, it is raining today, so it is not suitable to travel quickly."

Upon hearing this, Ye Chenting looked at the misty rain curtain and relaxed his brows: "It's good to take advantage of the rain in the next few days. After the rain in the next few days, June 20th will be a sunny and nice day."

Ye Wanqing smiled: "Second brother went to see the master last night. Didn't he ask the master to help check the weather?"

Ye Chenting also laughed: "Master said that the next ten days will be sunny and sunny."

It's rare for the two of them to have some leisure time.

After watching the rain for half a day, a little monk came running in the rain and asked Ye Chenting to leave.

Looking at the drizzling rain, Ye Wanqing had nothing to do, so she prepared to go to the Xiongbao Hall to take a look at the eternal lamp she had lit for Lu Qingcheng earlier.

However, it was an unfortunate occasion.

When she arrived at the Xiongbao Hall, there was no one in the hall.

So she bowed to the Buddha statue and prepared to leave.

As soon as he left, he heard the monk's hurried footsteps: "Princess, you are here again?"

Ye Wanqing looked at the young monk with innocent eyes and eyebrows and said: "Let me take a look at the eternal lamp I lit earlier."

"Is it Lu Qingcheng's lamp?" asked the monk.

Ye Wanqing nodded: "That's right."

The monk chanted a Buddhist verse: "Before, the donor Lu Jilian came to see the ever-burning lamp. Let me tell the princess a message. From now on, he will pay for Lu Qingcheng's lamp oil. The lamp oil money the princess gave before will be donated to the merit box as charity money to bring blessings and longevity to the princess."

Ye Wanqing bowed to the monk: "Thank you for telling me this, I understand."

The monk looked at her and chanted "Amitabha," and added, "Donor Lu also said that he regretted it. After the princess left Beijing, Donor Lu dragged his sick body and knelt in front of the Buddha for a whole day."

"Did he ask you to tell me these?" Ye Wanqing asked.

The monk hesitated, but after taking one look at the Buddha statue, he had to nod: "Yes."

He looked at Ye Wanqing with clear and peaceful eyes, waiting for her to leave a message for Lu Jilian. Ye Wanqing looked back at the golden palace filled with thin smoke, with a calm expression: "Please tell Lu Jilian that I will accumulate my blessings and longevity myself. He owes Lu Qingcheng, and he should really light a lifelong lamp for her. My fate with him is over, I hope he will take care of himself."

Upon hearing this, the monk simply said "Amitabha".

Ye Wanqing returned the greeting and left in the drizzling rain.

This was probably her last time to see Qingcheng.

From then on, their mother-daughter relationship in their previous life was completely over.

……

The next day.

Ye Wanqing got up early, and after tidying up, she waited for news from Ye Chenting.

After breakfast, Ye Chenting finally arrived and brought news about the elixir: "Master Shenxu said that the elixir contains drugs that cause hallucinations and control people's minds."

Ye Wanqing took the list handed over by Ye Chenting and frowned.

No wonder Fu Yu took the risk to come to Rongguang Temple to find her.

Ye Chenting looked at the pill formula: "The current situation is unclear, and I don't know whether Xiaoyan and Fuyu have taken this pill."

"Since she was able to get it, I think she has already accepted it." Ye Wanqing said.

Ye Chenting looked solemn.

Ye Wanqing thought: "It may not be a bad thing for them to have taken this medicine. When Prince Duan's rebellion is exposed, this medicine will be a life-saving straw."

Ye Chenting sighed: "I hope so."

The brother and sister packed up and took their people back to Beijing.

It was already dark when we were still far from the capital.

The guards were driving the carriage outside: "Second Young Master, Princess, we are still ten miles away from Jindu. I'm afraid we won't be able to get into the city before closing the city gates."

Ye Chenting lifted the car curtain.

As the fifteenth approaches, the moon is like a jade plate, with silver light pouring down.

There was no one on the official road.

He turned to look at Ye Wanqing: "It seems that we have to camp outside the city tonight."

Ye Wanqing also leaned out to look outside: "In that case, let's just go slower and let the horses rest."

The horse's hooves stepped on the moonlight and moved forward slowly.

Ye Chenting rolled up the curtain and looked at the rice fields on both sides of the official road: "This year the weather is good and the rice seedlings are growing better than in previous years. If there are no accidents, it will definitely be a good year."

Ye Wanqing knew that the accident her second brother was talking about was probably Prince Duan's rebellion.

She doesn't know what the future holds.

After all, this life is different from the previous one.

In the moonlight, she looked at the rice seedlings that were blowing in the night wind, and comforted Ye Chenting: "No matter how powerful Prince Duan is, he can't cause too much trouble. Although the emperor has not set up defenses against him, the 100,000 troops in the South Camp and the North Camp of the capital are not idle. Moreover, we already know about this matter and can deploy in advance to minimize the impact. What's more, Dingyuan Hou is eager to let Lu Jilian make achievements in the court and be promoted to an official rank, so I think he will find a proper solution."

Ye Chenting relaxed his brows: "I am just worried that innocent people will be implicated. After all, there is only one harvest of grain a year. If it is destroyed, the people will starve."

Ye Wanqing smiled and said, "Brother will definitely be a good official who loves the people like his own children in the future."

Ye Chenting blushed: "I don't dare to expect to do well, I just want to do my best, live up to the people, and live up to my heart."

"Of course I will."

The brother and sister enjoyed the night breeze, admired the pastoral night view slowly disappearing outside the carriage, and chatted casually.

I don’t know how long we walked before the sound of horse hooves broke the quiet night.

The leading guard picked up his longbow and asked, "Who are you? If you come any closer, I will shoot you!"
