But the next moment, they saw a relaxed smile on Shen Wantang's face: "However, we chose Chaolu Temple probably because it is sparsely populated and suitable for our attack. I also think this place is not bad."
Du Juan and Qin Xin were even more confused. Attack? What? Why would Gu Qianning attack the Crown Prince's Consort?
Shen Wantang did not explain. She stood up and walked out of the pavilion calmly.
Fine raindrops fell on her face. She took a deep breath, and her lungs were filled with a refreshing coolness.
Madam Chai held the umbrella above her head and said, "Princess, don't be greedy for rain. Be careful not to catch a cold. If you do, you won't be able to go to Chaolu Temple."
Shen Wantang heard her deliberately emphasize Chao Lu Si's tone and turned to look at her in surprise: "Mammy, have you figured out something fishy?"
Madam Chai spoke softly, "The servant from the Gu family who delivered the letter to the Crown Prince's wife today is not the same one as before, so I paid extra attention to him."
Shen Wantang laughed: "Mammy is very cautious. I feel at ease with Mammy around!"
As he was speaking, a little maid ran over and said respectfully, "Princess, there is a letter for you!"
Qin Xin was stunned: "Why are there so many letters today?"
Du Juan was suspicious: "Could this be another gift from Miss Gu? That shouldn't be the case!"
Gu Qianning really liked writing letters to her master, but she had never sent letters so frequently before. One letter a day was the most she could write.
"This letter was not sent by An Ning, and there is no signature on it."
Shen Wantang said lightly, opened the envelope and took out the note inside.
There was only one line of words on it: Don't go to Chaolu Temple, it's a killing spree.
The handwriting was unlike anything Shen Wantang had ever seen before, but it was neat and beautiful, and it was obvious that it was written by a woman.
Madam Chai was standing next to Shen Wantang. She also saw the words and couldn't help asking Shen Wantang, "Princess, who wrote this? It seems to be a friend, not an enemy."
Shen Wantang stuffed the note back into the envelope: "The fact that it was delivered right after the last letter means that they live together. Otherwise, they wouldn't have learned the news so quickly, let alone reminded me so quickly."
A gentle face appeared in her mind, Lin Rouxin.
Xiao Qingyuan must be at the Huo family at this moment, plotting this letter with Xiao Qingxi. Unfortunately, the two siblings are still as unreliable as ever. As soon as they set up the plan, Lin Rouxin found out about it.
Madam Chai asked again, "Will the Crown Princess go to Chaolu Temple tomorrow?"
Shen Wantang raised the corners of his lips slightly: "Why not go? If I don't go, won't the game be over?"
"Isn't it good that the game is over?"
"If this game is over, there will be another one. Why don't I join the game and put an end to this matter?"
"What the Crown Princess said makes sense. It's true that you can be a thief for a thousand days but never be on guard against thieves for a thousand days. Otherwise, you'll fall into their trap if you're not careful."
Shen Wantang nodded: "Let's go, I should also go and get ready."
The day passed quickly.
On the second day, the continuous rain not only did not stop, but got heavier.
The sky was gloomy. When Shen Wantang arrived at Chaolu Temple, the entire temple was silent, with only one or two people on their way coming to take shelter from the rain.
As agreed in the letter, Shen Wantang entered the main hall, burned incense, and knelt on the cushion in front of the Buddha.
After an unknown amount of time, the heavy palace door behind her slowly closed.
Then, footsteps were heard, and then, a cold dagger was pressed against her neck: "Shen Wantang, your death has come!"
Shen Wantang turned her head slightly and looked at the person beside her: "Aunt Chu, is it you? You look a lot older than before. Life in prison must be hard, right?"
Chu Yanluo tore off the tightly wrapped headscarf, revealing her dry and sparse hair, and a face full of scars.
She pressed the dagger against Shen Wantang's neck and said in a gloomy voice: "Shen Wantang, you are about to die, and you still dare to laugh at me? It's you who caused me to go to jail! So I will kill you today to avenge myself!"
Shen Wantang was forced to lean back, but she did not look panicked: "Mrs. Chu is wrong. Your imprisonment has nothing to do with me. Even if you were kicked out of the palace, you can't blame me."
"Mrs. Chu is a smart person. You must know better than me who caused you to end up like this. You already have the answer in your heart, right?"
"Otherwise, why would you say so much nonsense to me when you just wiped my neck as soon as you came in?"
Chu Yanluo sneered: "You don't need to remind me who I should hate! The person who caused me to be imprisoned deserves to die, and you deserve to die too! The position of the Prince's Consort in Prince Ning's Mansion should have been mine, but it was you who shamelessly snatched my position, forcing me to be Xiao Qingyuan's concubine!"
"Mrs. Chu is wrong again. Even without me, you can't be Xiao Qingyuan's prince's consort. You are destined to be a concubine."
"What did you say?! Believe it or not, I will kill you right now!"
"I haven't finished yet, why are you in such a hurry? What I mean is that you being Xiao Qingyuan's concubine has nothing to do with any other woman, it only has something to do with Xiao Qingyuan. You haven't figured out the root of the problem until now, have you?"
Chu Yanluo couldn't help but grit her teeth. It was obvious that she hated Xiao Qingyuan with a vengeance.
Shen Wantang took advantage of her distraction and reached out to push away Chu Yanluo's knife, then stood up: "The person who asked you to kill me was Xiao Qingyuan, right? You see, in order to marry Liu Nanshi as the Crown Prince's Consort, he went to great lengths to pull you out and kill me. If he had had this kind of heart for you, would I still be alive today?"
Chu Yanluo's face suddenly became extremely ugly: "Damn Xiao Qingyuan! He lied to me! When I first entered the palace, he promised to let me be the prince's consort! Now I know that he was just talking, he never thought of making me his legal wife from the beginning to the end!"
Outside the palace, the rain was pouring down. Inside the palace, Shen Wantang's cold voice echoed: "So, you still want to kill me for him and fulfill Liu Nanshi's wish?"
"Humph! Do you think you're the only one who's smart and I'm the fool? If I really wanted to kill you, wouldn't it be perfect for me to stab you in the back when you first came in? I won't be Xiao Qingyuan's pawn, and I won't help Liu Nanshi! Of course, you have to be alive now to disgust them!"
Chu Yanluo said disdainfully: "Xiao Qingyuan, this idiot, thinks I don't know anything! Even the rats in the dungeon have heard about his dirty deeds with Liu Nanshi. How could I not have heard about it?"
"He wants to use me to get rid of you, the troublesome Crown Prince's Consort, so that he can clear himself of all charges and I will be the only one to bear the charge of murder!"
"By the way, let me tell you that the one who came up with this stupid idea for Xiao Qingyuan was Xiao Qingxi, who is even dumber than him!"
"Shen Wantang, ah Shen Wantang, you are really a worse loser than me. Why do so many people want to kill you? This life of yours is far worse than your last life!"
