The female supporting role turns over: the prince regent's favorite

Chapter 148 Taoist Ling Xiao Runs Away
When Lin Qingqian woke up, the sky outside the window was slightly bright, she sat up abruptly, saw that Gu Changgeng was still beside her, and said in surprise, "Brother Changgeng, why haven't you gone back yet?"

And the black coat she was wearing, which he put on while she was asleep?

Gu Changgeng didn't close his eyes all night, his face was a little tired, he nodded, "It's just dawn, the guards outside are still awake, don't worry, I'm leaving now, no one will find out."

Lin Qingqian returned the black coat in her hand to Gu Changgeng, "Thank you brother Changgeng last night, I returned the clothes to you, be careful on the way back, don't be discovered by others."

Gu Changgeng put on his outer shirt, and said: "No matter how fast people go to Zhenyuan Temple, they will not be able to come back until noon. I still have some cakes left over from the cakes I brought last night. You can eat some later to pad your stomach .”

Lin Qingqian smiled slightly, "Qingqian understands, thank you Brother Chang Geng."

Gu Changgeng nodded slightly, and was about to jump into the sky, and left quietly from the roof, hesitated for a moment, then turned around suddenly, with a serious expression on his handsome face, and said to Lin Qingqian: "You don't have to worry, I won't let anything happen to you."

Lin Qingqian was startled, and her heart was suddenly touched by something.

She stared fixedly at Gu Changgeng for a moment, then suddenly asked: "Brother Changgeng, if I am really the evil spirit that Daoist said, would you be afraid of me?"

Gu Changgeng frowned and remained silent, looking at Lin Qingqian with complicated eyes, as if thinking about the truth of her words.

After a while, he said calmly, "The scariest thing in the world is not demons, but people."

Even if she wasn't Lin Qingqian, evil, or a monster, Gu Changgeng only remembered that she was kind to him.

Lin Qingqian's brows and eyes were slightly curved, her black and white eyes were full of smiles, and she nodded heavily, "Yes! I see, brother Chang Geng doesn't need to worry about me. I have been observing that Taoist priest yesterday, and he can't help it from time to time. Rubbing your fingers, it is clear that it is the habit of a gambler who plays Pai Gow in the casino, and it cannot be the well-known Taoist priest of Zhenyuan."

"That's why you begged the old lady to check his identity?"

"That's right, when the servant with the portrait returns from Zhenyuan Temple, everything will be revealed."

Gu Changgeng showed worry, "I'm afraid things won't be so simple."

Naturally, it won't be so simple, but Lin Qingqian doesn't want to tell Gu Changgeng about her next plan.

She had no choice but to change the subject and urged: "Brother Chang Geng, you should go back quickly, the guards will find you when they come in later."

"Okay, you...don't worry."

Lin Qingqian smiled, "With Brother Chang Geng, I won't worry."

Gu Changgeng jumped out of the sky, there was a slight movement on the roof, and then it became calm, Lin Qingqian secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Lin Qingqian sat back on the spot, looking at the door, her eyes flickering.

She originally wanted to sit in the prime minister's mansion and wait for death, but things backfired. Since someone doesn't make her feel comfortable, she doesn't intend to make him feel better either!
As soon as Gu Changgeng walked away, the guards on the back pushed the door and entered. Seeing that Lin Qingqian was still there, he backed out again.

……

Jinglan Court.

The old lady hadn't rested well all night, and her face was a little haggard. After Madam Zhang helped her up, she asked, "Has Master Xiang returned home?"

"Back to the old lady, Xiangye has not returned to the mansion since he entered the palace yesterday, the slaves have sent someone to wait outside the palace gate, if Xiangye comes out of the palace, that person will immediately inform Xiangye and let Xiangye come back. "

The old lady nodded, and asked again: "Is Taoist Ling Xiao still in the East Wing?"

"Yes, the slave girl asked someone to ask her today."

Seeing that the old lady hesitated to speak, Mammy Zhang hesitated for a moment, and said: "The old lady is worried about the third lady? This servant also asked the guards guarding the firewood room this morning. The third lady was locked in the firewood room. She didn't cry or make trouble. His complexion looks a little bad."

The old lady frowned, and after a while, she said inexplicably, "Nurse Zhang, do you think...Qingqian is really the evil that the Taoist priest said?"

"This..." Zhang Momo hesitated for a moment, then shook her head and said, "Old Madam, I don't even know about this servant girl. From the usual point of view, Miss San is well-behaved and sensible, I really can't tell."

"But since Qingqian fell into the water in Liyuan and suffered a serious illness, she seems to be a different person. How can this be explained? And her attitude towards Gu Changgeng..."

All these things, the old lady couldn't figure it out.

Nanny Zhang moved her lips, but couldn't answer for a while.

The old lady let out a long breath, and said: "Forget it, everything will be clear once the guards who sent the portraits to the Zhenyuan Temple return to the mansion, you have someone go to the door to watch, if someone comes back from the Zhenyuan Temple, immediately Come and report."

"Yes, old madam, this servant knows."

……

Time passed quietly, and it was almost noon.

Taoist Ling Xiao hurriedly walked around the room.

"It's almost noon, the foot from the capital city to Kunlun Mountain, the guard who took my portrait to the Zhenyuan Temple, it's almost time to come back, what should I do?"

Taoist Ling Xiao thought about it, and couldn't sit still.

Forced to no avail, he thought that the next door to the hut was a wall about two feet high, and there was a willow tree beside the wall, so he might be able to climb out from there while the guards were not paying attention.

Taoist Ling Xiao put the purse in his arms, straightened his clothes, and opened the door to go out.

When the guard saw him stepping out of the room, he raised his hand to stop him, and asked, "Where is the Taoist priest going?"

Taoist Ling Xiao: "Pin Daoist feels uncomfortable in his stomach and wants to go to the latrine."

The guard said impatiently: "Going to the latrine again? The Taoist priest went to the latrine five or six times last night."

"Hehe... there's no way, maybe eating something unclean has ruined my stomach."

"Okay, okay, we'll go there with you, the old lady told me to follow the Taoist priest every step of the way."

"Then there are two Laos."

Taoist Ling Xiao entered the hut, and while the guards were not paying attention, he unwrapped the wood on one side of the board, got out, went around to the wall, climbed up the willow tree with his hands and feet, and sat on the wall with his eyes closed. , jumped down cruelly.

The guard stood in front of the hut, holding his nose, and said with disgust, "Master Taoist, are you alright?"

The hut was quiet, and the guard knocked on the door with his saber, "Master Taoist, are you alright?"

The hut was still quiet, the two guards glanced at each other and sensed that something was wrong, kicked the door of the hut open, and there was no one inside.

"Not good! This Taoist has run for a long time, hurry up!"

……

Jinglan Court.

The old lady closed her eyes and rested her mind. Nanny Zhang was pressing her temples when suddenly there was a loud noise outside.

The old lady slowly opened her eyes and said, "Go and ask, what happened outside? But the guards who went to Zhenyuan Temple are back?"

"Yes, servant girl to ask."

Nanny Zhang shouted, "Why is there so much noise outside, what happened?"

A maid came in from outside the house, blessed the old lady and saluted, saying: "Go back to the old lady, just now the guards in the east wing came to report, and Taoist Ling Xiao used the reason of going to the latrine to climb up the willow tree by the wall and turn over The wall ran."
