Madam, please ascend.

Chapter 241: True Heart Spring

Tonight Yun Yi went to Zuixian Tower alone, while Zhuque was not idle either, and took Princess Xian out to "relax".

He said he wanted to relax, but in fact he wanted to lure out the snakes. He wanted to see who was still secretly watching Prince Xian's Mansion, and then wait for Yun Yi to come back and blackmail them one by one.

With Zhuque, who had reached the Return to Void Realm, protecting them all the way, they did not need any guards from home to follow them. The two of them traveled in simple attire and went directly to the famous "Yue Lao Temple" outside Dong'an City.

Surprisingly, even at this late hour, there were still quite a few young men and women gathered here. Some of them seemed to have been waiting for a long time, and their expressions varied as they entered and exited Yue Lao Temple.

Some were smiling happily, some were beating their chests and stamping their feet, and there was also a man and a woman who entered together. After coming out, the woman slapped the man in the face and they parted ways.

Such a scene actually made Suzaku confused. "Is there something strange in the temple?"

Jiang Miaojin smiled brightly, "Of course there are, otherwise there wouldn't be so many people flocking here at night. You know, although there's no curfew in Dong'an City, the city gates still have to be closed after dark. Did you see those carriages? Many people have decided to rest here for the night."

Zhuque seemed to understand: "Then how are we going to get into the city?"

"I am Princess Xian. Most of the soldiers guarding the gate know my father. They won't stop me."

"Tsk, then I'll take advantage of Miss Jiang today."

"What Miss Jiang? She's already married. My former sisters all said that after I became Princess Xian, my complexion became worse and worse, and I looked old and pale."

Zhuque thought, you look radiant these past two days, it must be because your husband died.

The two of them walked forward chatting and laughing, and found that they actually had to queue. The Yue Lao Temple was indeed very popular.

Zhuque was puzzled and asked, "Why do these people have to come at night?"

Jiang Miaojin said, "There's a magical copper basin in the temple. Normally, it's empty and clean. Only when it's bathed in moonlight can water appear."

"Can this water cure diseases?"

"It can cure heart disease, but that's not quite accurate. Some people have developed heart disease after seeing this water."

Upon hearing this, Suzaku suddenly realized, "Is it just like what practitioners call a 'mirror reflecting the mind'? The water in the copper basin can reflect something, which is why so many people come here to seek answers to their questions."

Jiang Miaojin raised an eyebrow and said, "I've never heard of a heart mirror, so I don't know what it's used for, but from what you said it sounds similar."

The two of them followed the team forward a few steps. Zhuque couldn't help but tickle Jiang Miaojin's itch a few times, "Stop keeping me in suspense. Tell me now."

Jiang Miaojin couldn't help but chuckle, and quickly held down Zhuque's mischievous hand, explaining softly, "People call the thing inside the fountain the 'Spring of True Love.' Rumor has it that you can see the face of your beloved through it."

Zhuque was stunned after hearing this, and then asked: "Wouldn't the playboy be able to see a lot of people in there?"

Jiang Miaojin was also stunned after hearing this, "Suzaku, you... really have a tricky angle."

"Also, if a sentimental person looks at this, and sees one person at first glance and someone else at second glance, wouldn't that mean it's useless?"

"How about we not watch it anymore? It suddenly feels so boring."

Seeing that it was almost their turn to enter the temple and take a look, Suzaku said with a smile, "Since we're here, we might as well go in and join in the fun."

Yue Lao Temple is busy all year round because of the "Spring of True Love". The children guarding the door have been replaced again and again, but they are still busy maintaining order and are all exhausted.

Fortunately, Dong'an City sent some soldiers to help, otherwise fights would break out here every day.

Jiang Miaojin put the incense money she had prepared in advance into the merit box at the door, and then hurriedly walked in with Zhuque.

When the gatekeeper saw the two female donors, his eyes immediately lit up and he sighed in his heart, "What beautiful sisters! They are so generous."

Little did they know that many men had been secretly staring at Zhuque and Jiang Miaojin. It was a pity that most of the people who came to the Yue Lao Temple already had female companions or lovers, so no one came forward to disturb them.

However, after this quick glimpse, perhaps the person some people see in the spring will also change. After all, people's hearts are fickle and long-lasting love is hard to come by.

The interior of Yue Lao Temple looked ordinary. A copper basin was placed in front of the statue, on a wooden table. The water in the basin was shimmering and so calm that there was not a ripple at all.

The boy said, "Please step forward one by one, and leave through the side door after you have finished looking at the spring water."

Jiang Miaojin said she didn't want to play anymore, but she was actually the most excited, looking eager to try. "Suzaku, you go first."

Suzaku feigned disinterest, "You go first."

"Then I'll do it!"

Jiang Miaojin excitedly rushed to the copper basin and took a curious look into the fountain. It would have been fine if she hadn't looked, but once she did, the smile on her face froze, and she became a little confused.

Seeing this, Suzaku asked, "What's wrong?"

Jiang Miaojin blinked, looking speechless. Zhuque stepped forward, took a quick look, and was also bewildered.

Because the True Heart Spring had not changed at all, the only person reflected in the basin was Jiang Miaojin herself.

She turned to the boy and asked, "Why can I only see myself?"

The boy said calmly, "It means that the female donor loves me the most in her heart."

Suzaku suddenly realized: "This means you are narcissistic."

Jiang Miaojin thought about it and felt that it made sense. She had no feelings for Su Xin, and she had married into Prince Xian's palace early, severing all ties with other men. If she really saw someone, it would be terrifying.

So she gave up her seat in frustration and glared at Suzaku: "You come."

"No peeking."

"You know what I saw, and you won't let me see yours?"

Suzaku was rarely embarrassed, so Jiang Miaojin said, "Besides, even if I don't look... I know who you'll see in there."

"You are so smart." Zhuque hurriedly took a look into the copper basin, and a ripple was inexplicably stirred up. After it subsided, a very familiar face gradually appeared.

Her heart seemed to be filled with something, and she muttered, "I knew it would be this stinky guy. How boring."

After saying that, Zhuque used his body to block Jiang Miaojin's curious gaze and quickly took her out of Yue Lao Temple through the side door.

"I haven't seen it clearly yet!"

"Nothing to see, he's a brother from my hometown who lives next door to me and his name is Tie Niu!"

The two girls were laughing and joking again, but unexpectedly a figure suddenly blocked their way. The figure looked a little greasy, but he was wearing the clothes of the Zhengqi Sect and was a descendant of an immortal.

The disciple of the Righteous Qi Sect said politely, "I am fortunate to meet two fairies today. It is truly a blessing from heaven. I wonder if the fairies could leave their names. I will remember them forever."

Jiang Miaojin asked Zhuque, "I didn't wear my hair in a bun when I went out today?"

Suzaku replied, "Yes, I have a good memory."

"Then why would someone like that take the initiative to provoke me?"

"The most important thing is, I just saw a woman with him, and they separated after they came out for some reason."
