Chapter 132 Her Heart Must Ache So Much
of this is the doing of Mother Empress. It was I who used the excuse of inviting the County Princess to admire paintings, and it was I who secretly instructed Yue'er to give the County Princess the me..."By the way, miss, tomorrow is your coming-of-age ceremony. Your master had invited many people, but because of the county princess's matter, your master has canceled all the guests..."
"All gone" Xiao Yuge didn't expect things to turn out like this. If there were no guests, who would she arrange the play for tomorrow
Qing Luo thought for a moment, then said: "It's not that everyone has left. Some of the old master's close friends will still come, like King Ning..."
"Will King Ning be coming too" Xiao Yuge interrupted her.
Qing Luo nodded. “Mm. I heard it from Fu Bo.”
"As long as none of the guests completely leave," Xiao Yu Ge breathed a sigh of relief, "If she really canceled her coming-of-age ceremony, then all the preparations she had made for this play would be in vain."
Thinking about this, she briefly explained to Qingluo and hurried out the door. Unexpectedly, she soon saw Qian Sichin's carriage. She hurriedly dodged aside, patting her chest in relief. It seemed like Qian Sichin was going to the Xiangfu. She thought to herself, "If I had left a little later just now, I would have been entangled by him today. I better leave quickly."
"Your Highness, I thought I saw Miss Xiao Er just now." Ling Tian wasn't sure if he was mistaken, but looking at that fleeting figure, it looked a bit like her.
"What Where is she" Qian Sicheng quickly pulled open the car curtain and looked around, but he didn't see Xiao Yuge's figure. He couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
"Perhaps I misread it." Ling Tian touched his own back of the head, feeling that Miss Xiao Er had no martial arts, how could she have such fast footwork It must be his mistake.
"It's still early, she's probably still at home." Qian Si Chen also thought that Xiao Yu Ge shouldn't have gone out so early. Besides, she couldn't possibly go out alone.
"Tian Qi!" Just then, he saw Chu Tian Qi leaving the house.
"His Royal Highness!" Chu Tianqi hurriedly stepped forward to pay his respects, but there seemed to be some awkwardness in his words.
"Tianqi, your leg isn't fully healed yet. Why aren't you staying home to rest for a few more days" Qian Sichin jumped down from the carriage.
"It's almost time, Your Highness. You arrived just in the nick of time. I have something important to tell you."
"This... I'm here to find Ge'er." Qian Sichin looked inside.
"The girl had already gone out early this morning, she's not in the mansion."
"Where did Ge'er go" Qian Sichin was greatly disappointed. Thinking of what Ling Tian had just said, he thought to himself, "Could it be Ge'er"
"Since the songbird is gone, let's go. We can talk as we walk!" Qian Sichin hopped back onto the carriage.
Chu Tianqi pursed his lips, but still decided to get into the carriage together.
"Tianqi, we haven't gone for a walk together in ages. Where are we headed" Qian Sichin hadn't expected Chu Tianqi to take him out of the city.
"I'll take you somewhere!"
"Wàn'ān Temple" Qián Sīchén didn't expect Chǔ Tiānqí to bring him to Wàn'ān Temple, and he was puzzled: "Tiānqí, are you alright Why did you bring me here out of the blue"
"Are you still wearing your amulet" Chu Tianqi asked without answering.
“Wearing this, it’s something that Fu’er requested. I wear it every day.” Qian Si Chen followed her train of thought and pointed at the Wan’an Temple before them: “According to Fu’er, she seemed to have gotten the peace amulet from here.”
"Hand it over." Chu Tianqi reached out his hand.
"Tianqi, you look a little scary like this. What are you doing Why do you want my amulet" Even though Qian Sichin didn't understand, she still took off the amulet she always wore and handed it to Chu Tianqi.
"Let's go." Chu Tianqi took the amulet and walked straight up the steps.
Wan'an Temple was situated halfway up the mountain. There were at least hundreds of steps from the top of the mountain to the middle, and with every step Chu Tianqi took, his heart ached like it would bleed. Just walking up was tiring enough for him, let alone kneeling all the way up from the bottom, performing three bows nine times - that would be excruciating pain.
Thinking of that tiny frame, possessing such incredible resilience, he couldn't let it go. Perhaps, he came here for two reasons: one was to personally experience it, and the other was a subconscious hope that the Fuelle in his mind wasn't so bad. Maybe everything was just Geer's one-sided account. This was his final struggle of thought.
When they brought the two purple amulets to Master Yuan, Master Yuan immediately clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha Buddha, what brings the two donors here"
"Master, do you still remember the name of the girl who came to ask for this peace amulet" Chu Tianqi asked eagerly.
The Venerable Master took the amulet and examined it carefully, as if he understood. “Amitabha Buddha, this is a little girl named Xiao Yu Ge who requested it. According to our temple rules, those seeking this purple amulet must climb the mountain step by step in supplication. I remember clearly that this young girl came on September 9th last year. These runes on the surface were personally written by me.”
"What Is it Ge'er who asked for this Not Fu'er" Qian Si Chen was shocked.
Chu Tianqi took out two paintings from his person: "Master, can you recognize which lady is depicted in these paintings"
Master Yuan pointed at Xiao Yuge's portrait: "It is this little girl. At such a young age, she possesses extraordinary perseverance. She went through so much hardship to obtain the amulet and bestow it upon both of you. She must be the most important person to both of you. Amitabha Buddha! Both donors are truly fortunate to have such a kind relative in three lifetimes!"
After leaving Wanshan Temple, Chu Tianqi kept his lips tightly shut, pounding the stone beside him with a frustrated fury. He felt he deserved to die. After Ge'er's words last night, he had still harbored doubts and insisted on coming here for confirmation. Only now did he realize how biased his own heart had been.
"Tianqi, what's wrong with you" Qian Sichin was baffled and grabbed Chu Tianqi's arm: "Tell me, why did you bring me here today Did you know all along that this amulet wasn't from Fu'er That Ge'er has been the one asking for amulets to keep us safe, right"
“Yes! I only found out yesterday that the person who has been making knee pads for me all this time was Ge'er, and the person who has always been asking for peace talismans for us was also Ge'er. But I still don’t believe it. The Fu'er who looked so weak and kind since childhood would keep deceiving us. That's why I came here. It turns out that the one who has always been silently giving behind our backs is Ge'er, it's Ge'er! From childhood to adulthood, our hearts have all leaned towards Fu'er. How much pain must Ge'er's heart be...”
"Why does Ke'er never speak" Qian Si Chen was also very shocked.
"Have we ever given her a chance From childhood to adulthood, our eyes have only been on Fleur. Every time, she followed us so clumsily. If we had just given her a chance once, perhaps things wouldn't be like this. We owe her an apology..."
Scenes from childhood flashed before their eyes, and it wasn't until this moment that they realized just how awful they had been. Everyone had a hundred or so tricks up their sleeves. Someone like Mu Huan, who was so straightforward, would easily offend people. If she became a concubine in the harem, she probably wouldn't even...
