Chapter 518 Liu Dongling fell into a trap

Liu Dongling on the opposite side couldn't help laughing, "Muxi, you are too cautious. We went out secretly, no one knew, and the outside world thought you were playing chess with the prince in Yunsheng Bieyuan. If you want me to say, this kind of stealing method , really good."

Ye Muxi smiled and said, "Dong Ling is right. Please accompany me this trip."

"Miss, the auspicious time has come, you should go to the main hall to offer incense." Ming Hua walked in and reported.

Ye Muxi stood up, but suddenly slipped, but fortunately, Wan Qiuming, who was next to her, helped her up quickly, so she didn't fall down.

"Miss, what's wrong with you?" The two maidservants asked hastily.

Ye Muxi rubbed the center of her brows, her voice was a little weak, "The root of the disease left by the excessive blood loss last time, I feel dizzy from time to time, and I can't stand upright. You help me to go to the hall to offer incense..."

"This is not possible. You have to kneel for half an hour to pray for blessings. How can you stick to it like this. The lady should lie on the bed and rest quickly, and the maidservant will call Mr. Shanglu over." Wan Qiu said hastily.

Ye Muxi insisted, "No, this is the best time calculated by Qintian Supervisor. If you pray at this time, you will be blessed by Chaohuang Empress. To be so disrespectful to Empress Chaohuang..."

"Miss is right, Empress Chaohuang can't afford to offend her. What if she blames us for being dishonest and makes us fail in the last exam..." Ming Hua said anxiously.

In today's world, everyone respects ghosts and gods, only Ye Muxi, who has lived a new life, does not believe in heaven and ghosts, but only believes in himself.

"But miss, you are sick, how can you pray without breaking the etiquette, if you miss the blessing gift, you will still be blamed by Chaohuang empress." Wanqiu was also anxious, and said, "how about, my servant will go for you?"

Ye Muxi shook her head resolutely, "No way. You are not ladies from Chaohuang Academy, how can you have the qualifications to pay homage to Chaohuang Empress, I should go in person..."

As soon as these words came out, the two maidservants also knew that they were not qualified enough, so they had to cry anxiously.

"Mu Xi, you're already like this, you'd better lie down. I'll pray for you. I'm Chaohuang's lady, and I'm one with your sister. If I worship for you, the Chaohuang empress must know your sincerity." Liu Dongling hurriedly said courteously.

Now that she is about to leave the academy, she still expects to rely on Ye Muxi to marry a good family, so naturally she has to curry favor with the daughter of the Hou family.

"This..." Ye Muxi's face was slightly relaxed, but she still said, "I can't do it for you to pray for blessings, I'm afraid Chaohuang Empress will blame her..."

Liu Dongling took Ye Muxi's hand and said comfortingly, "Muxi, don't worry. Lady Chaohuang has a spirit. Seeing you sick and haggard, she insisted on praying and worshiping. I have already felt your sincerity. I have a deep relationship with your sister. , why should we divide each other, I worship, it is you who worship, and Empress Chaohuang will definitely understand our sisterly feelings."

"Dong Ling, I'll leave it to you. I heard that the Queen Chaohuang from the Goddess Temple outside the city is extremely effective. Fortunately, you are here, otherwise I would really miss this opportunity." Ye Muxi said emotionally.

Liu Dongling was disdainful in her heart, pinning her hopes on the gods, she seemed very guilty, guessing that she would not be sure of winning the calligraphy test tomorrow.

Thinking of this, Liu Dongling suddenly felt a sense of schadenfreude.

"Muxi, why should you be polite to me? Between us sisters, I would go through fire and water just for you, let alone praying for small things. Back then you saved my life and treated me with kindness. Compared to Muxi, you treat me My goodness, what I have done for you is not worth mentioning." Liu Dongling said modestly.

Seeing her sincerity, Ye Muxi lowered her eyes and smiled, "Then I won't be polite to you. Wan Qiu Minghua, the two of you praying with Dong Ling together, can be regarded as an apology to Lady Chaohuang for me."

"Yes." The two women blessed themselves.

At this time, Shanglu had come over, and with him and Leng Xun guarding Ye Muxi, Wan Qiu Minghua felt relieved, so she went out with Liu Dongling.

"Concubine Shizi, I heard that you are not feeling well, so let your subordinates take your pulse." Shang Lu said nervously.If this eldest lady has some headaches and their sons are unhappy, then everyone will not want to have a good life.

Ye Muxi waved her hand casually, "It's okay, just rest for a while. It's nothing serious, I don't need to feel the pulse."

Shanglu wanted to say something, but Ye Muxi's gaze had already fallen outside the window.

The fallen leaves are flying, and the autumn is dry and silent.Some things should be finished.

……

Goddess Temple, the main hall.

Sandalwood scented, Liu Dongling bowed her head and knelt on the futon in the middle, Wan Qiu and Ming Hua knelt on the small futon a little later.

Because it is a low-key trip, they are all covered with veils.

After offering incense, Liu Dongling seemed to close her eyes and prayed devoutly, but her thoughts had already flown far away.If I have a family background like Ye Muxi's, there's no need to please her so much, why should her life be better than my own? It's really unfair.

At the beginning, she was the daughter of a criminal minister, but she was actually not as good as herself. Didn't she just have a good father?
But it doesn't matter, once you are canonized as a lady of the second rank, you are not afraid that you will not be able to marry into the family.She has stayed in the academy for a year, and she knows very well that the threshold of a female official in Huangting is a top-rank lady.

Therefore, those aristocratic families will not marry unless they are top-ranking ladies.Only by marrying a top-rank lady can she occupy a place in Huang Ting and gain power and benefits.

The power of women in this world is gathered in the Huangting. Although the queen is the master of the Huangting, there are not times when the ministers are strong and the ruler is weak.If it can be promoted step by step, it is not impossible to overthrow the queen's power.

Thinking of the future, Liu Dongling's heart would fly to the sky.

It's a pity that Ye Muxi's current grades are already from the first grade, and the next level is the first grade. When the time comes, the official position in Huangting will naturally be higher than her.

It really made Liu Dongling unhappy, if Empress Chaohuang is really alive, facing such people who don't come to pray in person, it's better to bless her for failing the exam.

The sandalwood sticking in the incense burner was ignited bit by bit and fell, and sparks fell into the ashes from time to time, the faint light was not eye-catching.

But at this moment, the light of Mars suddenly lit up, and exploded with a bang the next moment.

"what!"

Liu Dongling let out a scream, and the scorching censer ash splashed into her eyes, which was painful and hot, and her eyes were instantly dark, and she couldn't see anything.

"What, my eyes, my eyes... can't see... ah..."

Both Wan Qiu and Ming Hua were stunned by the scene in front of them. Suddenly, the censer exploded, and Liu Dongling, who was kneeling in front of the censer to pray for blessings, was affected and injured.

……

Goddess Temple, back room.

"Miss, the stove has been checked. I don't know what happened, but it exploded suddenly... No suspicious things were found..." Wan Qiu reported, "The people from the Goddess Temple also checked one by one. have no idea."

Ye Muxi was not surprised by this situation, but just hummed.

Shang Lu came over with a stern expression, "Concubine Liu, Miss Liu's eyes were hurt by the burning incense ash, and she is... blind... The subordinates are incompetent and failed to keep Miss Liu's eyes."

"Doctor is here." Ye Muxi calmly said, "Let's go back home first."

Just as Ye Muxi and the others left the Goddess Temple, the news that Ye Muxi's daughter went blind while praying in the Goddess Temple spread throughout the capital.
