Chapter 203 Secret
Ever since the second prince died, the eldest prince was imprisoned, and the officials of the two prince's factions were purged by the emperor, the whole capital was in turmoil.

At this time when people were panicking, a good thing happened in Zhen Guogong's mansion.

The old Duke who was sent back to Beijing after being unconscious by a poisoned arrow at the border, woke up from his coma, and the people in the Duke of Zhen's mansion finally showed smiling faces that he hadn't seen for a long time.

But soon, everyone discovered the abnormality.

Although the old man woke up, he could not speak, nor could he move his body.

Mrs. Tai then asked the steward of the mansion to bring the director of the Tai Hospital over with a name card.

After some inspections, the hospital only said that it was caused by a virus. As for when it would return to normal, he was not sure, so he just prescribed a new prescription for the old man to continue taking medicine to recuperate.

After hearing Yuanzheng's diagnosis, the joy in everyone's hearts was discounted.

After Yuanzheng left, Mrs. Tai announced one thing, that is to ask all the wives and girls in the mansion to copy a few Buddhist scriptures for the old man. Ten days later, all the female relatives set out to the Ciguang Temple again to burn incense and pray for the old man.

As soon as Mrs. Tai made this decision, everyone responded one after another.

Although Xiao Jinyue didn't think that burning incense and worshiping Buddha could make the old Duke's body recover, she didn't want to contradict everyone in this matter.

After returning to Shi'an Garden, he asked Anise to go out of the house to buy some Buddhist scriptures for her, and Xiao Jinyue copied the scriptures with the Four Treasures of the Study every day when she was free.

Although Xiao Jinyue's calligraphy is not bad, she doesn't usually spend much time writing. After copying the Buddhist scriptures, she will go to Ciguang Temple to pray for the old Duke.

In the first two days, Xiao Jinyue wrote slowly, and she felt that she was not satisfied with the writing, so she always wrote and threw it away, and then wrote after throwing it away.

Worried that ten days will not be finished, Xiao Jinyue sometimes writes for a while at night before going to bed.

After having dinner that day, she went to the study in Shi'anyuan to continue copying.

Afraid of disturbing the imperial concubine's copying of scriptures, the maids would usually leave the study room and let her copy quietly by herself.Fennel prepared the Four Treasures of the Study and Buddhist scriptures for her, and specially lit several lamps, and then quietly retreated out.

Xiao Jinyue was concentrating on copying, when suddenly Chi Yan jumped in from the window and lightly jumped onto the desk.

She glanced at it casually, ignored it, and continued writing.

But Chi Yan pressed his chubby paws on the rice paper, and said mysteriously, "Girl, girl, stop writing, I'll tell you a secret."

The rice paper could not be written because it was pressed down, so Xiao Jinyue put down the brush in his hand, took Chi Yan's claw away, patted it on the head and warned, "Don't make trouble."

Seeing that she didn't take it seriously, Chi Yan jumped anxiously.

Xiao Jinyue shook her head amusedly, picked up the brush again, and asked casually, "What's the secret?"

"Girl, that person is a fake!"

"What's true, Chi Yan, you can't just make up lies just to cheat meat."

Seeing that Xiao Jinyue didn't believe it, Chi Yan jumped anxiously, "Girl, I didn't lie."

"Okay, go and play with Xiaobai, don't disturb me copying scriptures." Xiao Jinyue waved her hand casually, lowered her head and continued writing.

Chi Yan snorted, rushed out of the window angrily, and left.

Xiao Jinyue glanced at its back, but didn't care.

Unexpectedly, just after writing a few words, Chi Yan rushed back with a whoosh.

Xiao Jinyue raised her head when she heard the movement, and was about to reprimand it a few words, but Chi Yan proudly threw the thing in her paws onto the desk.

"Look, girl, I'm not lying."

Xiao Jinyue's eyes fell on the desk, and her eyes froze for a moment.

Putting down the pen in her hand, she stretched out her hand to gently pick up the things on the desk, looked at them carefully for a while, and then unfolded them carefully.

After seeing clearly what it was, the expression of Xiao Jinyue, who had always been calm, changed.

After staring at the things in his hand for a while, Xiao Jinyue turned to ask Chi Yan.

"Where did you get this thing from?"

"From her room."

"Did anyone catch you taking this?"

"No."

Chi Yan looked proud. Its treasure hunting ability is the best in the world. Who can find it.

In order to reward Chi Yan, Xiao Jinyue took some secret pieces of meat for it from the space, "Leave this thing with me, and you must never go to her room again without my order, or you will be discovered. I can't save you."

Xiao Jinyue felt that the thing in her hand was a piece of hot potato, and wanted Chi Yan to send it back quietly.But seeing that this thing has been stained by Chi Yan's claws, sending it back will undoubtedly make the other party find that her secret has been exposed.

She wanted to give this thing to Lu Chengting, but he had been out for two days and didn't return.

After thinking about it, Xiao Jinyue had no choice but to put this thing in her space, and give it to Lu Chengting when he came back.

Seeing her frowning, Chi Yan comforted her disapprovingly, "Don't worry, girl, there are a lot of these things, and no one will find them."

Xiao Jinyue smiled wryly. This matter was too important, and she couldn't guarantee that the other party would do something amazing after the secret was revealed.

Putting aside the scriptures and scriptures that had just been copied, Xiao Jinyue took another piece of paper and wrote a letter. After the sky darkened, Chi Yan quietly sent the letter back to Xiao's residence to her father.

The next day, Xiao Jinyue kept silent and continued to copy scriptures as if nothing had happened.

She wanted to wait for Lu Chengting to come back, and hand over this hot potato to him, but who knew that he never came back after he went out this trip.He only asked Dongli to bring her a letter, saying that he was busy and would return home after a while.

On the ninth day, Xiao Jinyue hurriedly finished copying the scriptures.

On the tenth day, she got up early and had breakfast, and Mrs. Tai took a family of female relatives and set off to the Ciguang Temple to burn incense and pray for blessings.

Xiao Jinyue took Baiguo into the carriage and wandered all the way to the foot of the mountain.

To show her sincerity, Mrs. Tai asked everyone to get off the carriage and climb up the stone steps to the Ciguang Temple on the mountain.

On the top of the mountain, Xiao Jinyue found that Song Chuyao, the daughter of Duke Ning's mansion, also came with her maid to burn incense and pray for her family.

After the two parties greeted each other, Mrs. Tai led everyone into the Daxiong Palace.Under the guidance of the abbot, the scriptures were offered to the Buddha, and then began to burn incense and kneel down.

I also heard the abbot read the scriptures for blessings for more than half an hour.

Mrs. Tai asked the nanny beside her to donate a large sum of money for sesame oil, and then let everyone go to the wing to rest.

In the afternoon, after listening to the abbot read a prayer scripture, Mrs. Tai said to the girls, "There is a spiritual spring in the back mountain of Ciguang Temple. I heard that it is very good for the body. You juniors are young and have good physical strength. Bring some mountain spring water back to the old man, maybe it will make him recover faster."

This is a good opportunity to show filial piety, and the girls from the third room obediently nodded in response.

Mrs. Tai nodded in satisfaction, and saw Xiao Jinyue standing aside, so she said, "We grown-ups are tired, so we stay here to rest. The concubine Shizi is young and in good health, so you can follow them to fetch mountain spring water, lest these girls care about playing , forget about business.”
