Chapter 902: The Unlearned Young Master 3
The Kingdom of Lang has been established for more than a hundred years. The court is stable and the people live in peace. It also has trade relations with border countries. Therefore, you can occasionally see exotic-looking Hu caravans in the capital.
The carriage stopped at the temple gate. Yun Yi and Yun Zhi helped Madam Yun get off. They first went to the main hall to burn incense and worship Buddha, then went to the side rooms to rest, and after drinking a cup of tea, they went to the back mountain to appreciate the peach blossoms.
"The scenery among the mountains and fields is much more beautiful than the artificial hills and scenery in the garden. I can come out for a walk more often in the future."
Madam Yun picked a peach blossom and held it in her hand to admire it, looking at the scenery everywhere, but the direction she went was still very purposeful.
There are many pavilions in the peach forest for visitors who come to enjoy the flowers to rest.
Because the peach forest is lush and its branches and leaves are dense and provide cover, the privacy is quite good and it can be said to be a holy place for a secret rendezvous.
Madam Yun took Yun Zhi and Yun Yi to sit in the Yingwei Pavilion, and the servants behind them placed the tea, snacks and fruits they had brought on the table.
"Mrs. Wang will come over with Miss Wang later. You should stop being so lazy." Mrs. Yun restrained her smile and said to Yun Yi who was sitting sideways.
Yun Yi moved his body, but his lazy posture did not improve much.
"I've thought about it carefully, and I still think I need to let Miss Wang see my true appearance clearly."
Madam Yun suddenly had a bad feeling when she heard this. Without waiting for her to speak, Yun Yi continued:
"If I really deceived Miss Wang with that dignified and elegant 'gentleman like jade', and she discovered I wasn't like that after we got married and wanted to divorce me, wouldn't that be even more humiliating?"
"We're already married, so there's no point in getting a divorce."
Mrs. Yun retorted, completely unaware that she had fallen into Yun Yi's trap.
"Mom, look at what you're saying. You always taught us to be honest with others, but now you're letting someone pretend to be you and deceive us into marriage?"
"Those little lies I told before were just for fun and laziness, but now you want me to lie to a girl for the rest of my life. How can I do that?"
"Nonsense, who told you to lie?" Mrs. Yun retorted subconsciously.
Yun Yi spread his hands and looked at Yun Zhi beside him and said, "Sister, please judge for yourself. Did Mother just ask me to pretend to deceive Miss Wang?"
"Mom, Yun Yi is not a dignified and steady person. Marriage is a lifelong thing, so it is better for him to be sincere to Sister Wang." Yun Zhi persuaded.
As a woman herself, Yun Zhi could empathize with the pain of being deceived into marriage and suffering for a lifetime.
If someone like this cheated on her, she would definitely bear a grudge for the rest of her life.
At this moment, Yun Yi noticed footsteps coming towards him, and he stood up and said, "Mom, just say I was sick and didn't come. I'm leaving first."
After he finished speaking, Yun Yi ran behind a thick peach tree in a few steps under the shocked gazes of Madam Yun and Yun Zhi.
A breeze blew, the branches and leaves swayed, and in a few breaths, Yun Yi disappeared.
"This place has a nice view, and my sister-in-law is here too."
Madam Wang's voice came, and Madam Yun looked in the direction where Yun Yi was no longer there. She smiled and turned to talk to Madam Wang.
Originally, the two families did not say it explicitly when they wanted to meet the two children, but they just understood it tacitly.
Now that Yun Yi does not agree with this marriage, Madam Yun can only treat the meeting with Madam Wang as an accidental encounter and never mention the two children.
But if she did so, it would inevitably displease Madam Wang. It wasn't like their daughter couldn't get married. There was no need to rush after Yun Yi, and there would be no possibility of marriage in the future.
This was exactly the result Yun Yi wanted. After leaving Yingwei Pavilion, he returned to the area behind the temple.
Master Jingci has finished his lecture and is meeting with pilgrims who have made reservations in advance.
Most of these pilgrims are ordinary people. After all, dignitaries don’t have so many troubles to ask the master for guidance.
Besides, even if you need help with something, you don’t need to make an appointment in advance. You can just send a message and see him.
"Ah...sir, look there."
Luo Xuan was admiring the temple architecture when suddenly the maid beside her pulled her and pointed in a direction with a look of surprise.
Luo Xuan followed her gaze and couldn't help but widen her eyes.
The person who walked into the Zen room was actually Yun Yi.
Maybe it was because their gazes were too intense, but Yun Yi had already reached the door of the meditation room. He turned around and looked back as if he had sensed something.
Luo Xuan hurriedly pulled the maid to hide behind the pillar. Although her current attire was slightly different from before in the academy, they were all men's clothes. If Yun Yi saw her, he would easily recognize her.
But she shouldn't be hanging around in the temple now, she should be in the academy.
"Brother Yun said before that someone in his family was sick. Why did he come to the temple?" Luo Xuan asked puzzledly.
But the little maid had no idea why, so she could only guess, "Maybe a family member is seriously ill, so they came to the temple to ask for amulets for peace."
"Go and see if Brother Yun has gone in."
The little maid nodded, stuck her head out from behind the pillar and looked towards the meditation room, but did not see Yun Yi.
"Sir, there's no one left."
After hearing this, Luo Xuan walked out from behind the pillar with relief and patted her frightened chest.
"It's all my fault that my Royal Brother insisted on having me come back at this time to listen to Master Jingci's lecture. What if Brother Yun sees me and asks me about it when we get back to the academy?"
The rules of the Yashan Academy where they are located have always been strict. Students are not allowed to ask for leave easily unless there is an emergency at home.
The original owner went home because his family was sick. Of course, this rule does not apply to Luo Xuan.
As a princess, she disguised herself as a man to go to the academy. The dean knew from the beginning that the prince had ordered the princess to go to the temple to listen to the master's lectures, so how could the dean not give her leave?
"Let's leave here quickly, otherwise we might run into Brother Yun when he comes out." Luo Xuan said as she was about to leave quickly with the maid.
But they had just taken two steps when there was a sudden commotion in the front hall.
"No, there's an assassin."
"Go and protect Master Jingci."
The shouts of the crowd continued to be heard, followed by a chaotic scene of running around.
"Princess, be careful."
Seeing that someone was about to bump into Luo Xuan, the little maid didn't care about exposing her identity and hurriedly pulled her into the meditation room next door.
"Don't move."
But as soon as they came in, a cold, sharp blade emitting a cold glow was pressed against their necks.
From childhood to adulthood, Luo Xuan had never seen such a scene before, and she was immediately frightened.
"You are here for me, why are you making things difficult for these children?"
A heavy voice came from the front. Luo Xuan looked up and saw several men in black holding long swords across Master Jingci's neck.
Not far from Master Jingci, Yun Yi was being strangled by a man in black and was unable to move.
