Chapter 81 - Secretly helping each other
An Yanran remembered that her cousin had not come to see herself in the house these days, she was even more disturbed. Some days ago, when An Qinran twisted her foot, he went there almost once every two days, every time to Xiwu courtyard.
Impossible!
An Yanran didn't want to think that way, because that would be worse than plucking out her heart!
The man she had decided on must be hers for the rest of her life!
Kang Wang was looking over and saw the rare despondency on An Yanran's little face, which was pitiful, so he couldn't help but move closer: "Cousin, where are you going?"
"I ...... want to go back to my house!" An Yanran murmured, her big watery eyes looking at him as if she had a million things to say, but how could she say them when Fu Quan was following behind her?
"This prayer ceremony for the Empress has not yet begun, so why did you leave first? Is there any urgent matter in the House?" A trace of doubt appeared on Dongfang Ye's handsome face.
An Yanran sighed, "It's hard to say everything! Cousin, when you have time to go to the General's residence, I'll talk to you about it in detail!"
After saying that, An Yanran turned around and left, her footsteps were a bit heavy. Her sad and helpless face left a deep impression on Dongfang Ye, because he had never seen such an expression on her face before, she was, in his impression, a cheeky and noisy little girl like a little sparrow all day long, so the fact that she was like this made his heart sour a little, and he didn't know what it felt like.
Dongfang Yan walked over and looked at the direction where An Yanran had disappeared, the corners of his mouth pulled a smile, "She may be small, but she is also a beauty!"
Dongfang Ye didn't know why, and didn't like him talking about An Yanran in such a tone, so he spoke, "Where were we talking?"
Dongfang Yan immediately lowered his voice, "Weren't we just talking about how we could secretly spread the news of Dongfang Jin's disappearance?"
"Yeah, what's your best idea?" Dongfang Ye spoke up.
Dongfang Yan's eyes were fixed on Dongfang Ye and he smiled: "I don't believe that your brother doesn't have an idea in mind, are you testing my brother? All we have to do is send someone to the marketplace to talk about it, and get a blind fortune teller to say something like the Purple Wealth Star is falling, it's guaranteed to be foolproof!"
Dongfang Ye nodded slightly:"! Although not a brilliant idea but it is a useful trick "
Dongfang Yan also smiled:" As long as useful is the brilliant idea! "
Dongfang Ye looked up at the room where the Crown Prince had once lived, and a cold smile pulled out from the corner of his mouth, "Let's go, we still have to pay a visit to Master Dakong first, to see how much he knows about the disappearance of the Crown Prince, don't you think?"
"Of course!" Dongfang Yan followed his footsteps.
The two young men in luxurious clothes were not moving too fast or too slow, as if everything was within their grasp. Dongfang Ye had a smile on his face all the time, and this smile matched his handsome face, which looked even more exhilarating, attracting the eyes of many young ladies long ago, but he just pretended not to know, and walked past calmly!
Master Dukong's room is in the side room.
In front of the door were only two cool magnolia plants with purple blossoms, faintly emitting an ethereal fragrance, and no other flowers and plants, the pure land of the Buddhist sect, which was exceptionally serene.
A young monk was guarding the door, and when he saw the two princes, he folded his hands and recited the Buddha's hymn, and the two were also modest and courteous: "Young Monk, we have come to pay our respects to Master Dakong, please also pass on!"
At these words, the young monk did not wait to speak, the door of the house was pulled open, and from inside came out a person, while stretching his lazy mouth said, "So it's all in the afternoon ......"
The two princes looked at the person in front of them and their eyes widened as if they had seen a ghost.
"Oh, so it's the two imperial brothers, what brings you here?" Dongfang Jin said as if he had only just seen them, pretending to be surprised.
In fact, when he arrived at Yuehua Temple with An Qinran, he was very surprised to see these people at the entrance. Fortunately, a shadow found him and told him everything that had happened in the past two days. When Dongfang Jin heard that his mother was in a coma because she was worried, he could not help but feel his heart stirring like a knife and wanted to fly back to the palace immediately, but he knew that because of his disappearance, there were many people ready to watch the show, and he did not know who was behind it.
Even if he couldn't find out, he had to at least see which way the wind was blowing.
It's never a bad thing to know which is a friend and which is an enemy.
After he had arranged for An Qing Ran, he approached Master Dakong to discuss with him how to cope with what had happened, Dakong was one of the people he trusted, and Master Dakong was deep in thought when he found out all that had happened. Just at this time, An Yanran came to see Master Dakong in person. When she explained her reason outside the door, Dongfang Jin heard it clearly, and he laughed in the room that this An Qingran, I don't know what she was doing again, but, whatever she was doing, he was sure she had a reason behind it. Therefore, before Dukong promised An Yanran, the Crown Prince had quietly told Master Dukong that if An Qinran was faking her fainting, he must not expose her. If she had really fainted, he would also trouble Master Dakong to come back quickly and tell him the reason, so he could arrange for her to be treated by the Imperial Doctor!
When Dakong came back, he smiled at him, "I don't know what you two are up to, that little girl is indeed pretending to be dizzy ...... monks don't lie, for you, I am fighting again and again!"
"Master, there is even a saying that saving a life is better than having seven levels of pagodas, you are saving people!"
"Yes, I am even thinking of the people of the world!" The eyes of Dakong looked at Dongfang Jin with compassion and trust.
Dongfang Jin's face was moved by these words. He felt warm and heavy at the same time for this trust and support!
He had to be able to bear this heavy burden!
"Thank you, Master!" There was nothing else to say, although only thanks were not enough to express gratitude.
Master Dukong recited a Buddhist hymn: "This time the children of the imperial palace and the courtiers have all come to Yuehua Temple, saying that they are praying for the Empress’s blessing. OldMonk sees that things are not quite right, the Crown Prince has just been chased and killed, his whereabouts are unknown, and now, they have come here to pray for blessings ......"
At this point, Master Dakong laughed: " It seems that I, a monk, have no choice but to get involved in this worldly affair, but the Crown Prince must take care of himself and be more careful!
At this moment, when the voice of Kang Wang was heard from outside, Dongfang Jin's heart moved and he whispered, "It seems that this royal brother of mine is extremely worried about me, the first thing he did when he came to the temple, he came to see me, I have to respond well to that!"
Dakong did not say anything, but only sighed silently.
Although Dongfang Jin looked at his face with a little fatigue, he was still considered handsome and elegant, especially that smile, which was surprisingly dazzling to the eyes!
But Dongfang Ye was only stunned for a moment before he slowed down, although he didn't know what had happened, Dongfang Jin was still alive and appeared to be alive and well, which made him disappointed!
