Chapter 135 – What A Coincidence, Let’S Go And Do The Worshiping Together
Wei Yuewu had asked Huamo to prepare incense candles and a set of offerings. Originally, she had planned to go to the Buddha hall to worship her deceased mother after lunch, but she had been delayed a lot.
“Miss, all the things have been prepared, but are you really going to worship Madam like this?” Huamo looked at Wei Yuewu’s pale face and asked worriedly.
Today was the memorial day of Wei Yuewu’s birth mother. When she went up the mountain, Wei Yuewu had planned to worship her today.
“I’m fine!” Wei Yuewu nodded.
Seeing her insistence, the maids didn’t dare to stop her anymore. Filial piety was always the fundamental principle for administering a country. If Wei Yuewu could get up, she would definitely go and worship her mother today.
The maids carefully helped Wei Yuewu sit up and groomed her hair. Then, Wei Yuewu only brought Jin Ling with her. Supported by Jin Ling’s hand, she gently moved forward with light and small steps.
She had been taking the right medicine that suited her case these past few days. As a matter of fact, she had basically recovered after taking Yan Huaijing’s pill. In addition, Wei Yuewu’s reaction at the time of the assassination was quick enough. With Wei Qiufu’s pull, she tilted her body and avoided being hit in the vital parts of her chest. Her injuries weren’t as severe as had been imagined. As long as she didn’t press the wound, the pain wouldn’t be hard to endure.
But even so, Wei Yuewu still walked very carefully. Her health hadn’t been good since birth, and her granny had repeatedly told her to keep a calm mind and avoid thinking too much or being excited!
Ming Yan was indeed bumped by someone. She couldn’t even hold the qin in her hand and it fell to the ground. However, she and Wei Qiufu didn’t even know who it was that bumped into her. She only saw the back of a man dressed in the clothes of a guard.
Besides the young ladies from aristocratic families headed by the Third Princess and Fourth Princess, there were also the Crown Prince, the Fourth Prince, and four heirs-apparent living in the Plum Blossom Nunnery. Each of them was protected by a large number of guards, including dark guards. They could only see the back of a guard, but it was really hard to tell who had collided with Ming Yan.
“Miss!” Ming Yan was about to cry, but she didn’t care about her the pain in her arms. She hurriedly stood up and looked at the qin that had fallen to the ground on the other side.
Wei Qiufu was also very nervous and hurriedly came over. When she saw the qin fall to the ground, she was dumbfounded.
she looked at the loose strings on the qin carefully, and it seemed like something was wrong.
“Miss, what should we do?” Ming Yan knew that she had caused a big trouble to Wei Qiufu, so she immediately knelt down in fear.
“Quickly see if there is any damage to the qin!” Wei Qiufu slapped Ming Yan fiercely and said angrily.
At this moment, she was completely enraged and vented her anger on Ming Yan.
Ming Yan was beaten so hard that she fell to the ground, but she didn’t dare to cry out for pain. She directly knelt on the ground and picked up the qin from the ground.
Fortunately, the other parts of the qin looked normal, and there was nothing wrong with it. “Miss, it’s… everything else is fine, it’s fine.”
Ming Yan almost burst into tears out of joy!
“What… is this?” Wei Qiufu’s gaze landed on the place where the ancient qin had just covered.
There was actually a handkerchief made of fine gauze. It was very clear and folded together, and some handwritten characters could be vaguely seen on it.
“This… this is not my handkerchief.” Ming Yan subconsciously touched her handkerchief and said anxiously.
“Bring it over.” Wei Qiufu’s gaze landed on a very small hidden compartment at the corner of the qin. She frowned slightly. This handkerchief should have been shocked out of the hidden compartment.
“Yes.” Seeing that Wei Qiufu did not blame her, Ming Yan hurriedly took out the fine gauze handkerchief and handed it over.
Wei Qiufu took it. First, she frowned. Then, she widened her eyes. Finally, she held the handkerchief in surprise and started to tremble.
She put the handkerchief in her pocket and looked left and right before hurriedly turning around. “Let’s go back!”
This place was not far from Wei Yuewu’s courtyard. With this thing, even if she didn’t want to win the championship, there was no way!
Ming Yan hurriedly carried the qin and left with Wei Qiufu.
Wei Yuewu did not expect that she would actually meet Wen Tianyao, Yan Huaijing, the Third Princess, and the Heir-apparent of Duke of Chu, Chu Fangnan, in front of the Buddha hall.
The Third Princess, dressed in a light blue dress, was undoubtedly a beauty. Her dark hair was piled up like clouds, and her skin was like snow. As she smiled brightly, she looked gentle and sweet, making people extremely impressed.
Wen Tianyao still had his usual gentle and refined look. Judging from his appearance, people really couldn’t tell that this was the Crown Prince, the future emperor. Not only was he the eldest son of the royal family, but his birth mother was Empress Tu. Wen Tianyao was almost a natural born emperor. There was no doubt about his ascension to the throne.
However, the most handsome one was undoubtedly Yan Huaijing. He was as elegant as an immortal. His long hair was tied up casually. He wore a large white dress embroidered with dark patterns. The dress looked both low-key and luxurious. With his jade-like face, he could make the young ladies shy at the sight of him from afar and secretly cast glances at him.
As for the Heir-apparent of Duke of Chu, although his appearance was not ordinary, he was quite outshined by the presence of the others.
When Wei Yuewu saw them, she had just walked to a corner and she immediately stopped. She wanted to wait for them to go over before moving on. But the Third Princess had already discovered her. She paused and smilingly called out at her, “Is Sixth Miss Wei in better health now? I had intended to go and see you last time, but I actually disturbed you and made you spit blood.”
The Third Princess’s words carried a bit of intimacy, but the meaning behind her words was enough to make people’s mind spin a few more times.
“Thank you, Third Princess. I had become much better thanks to the good medicine sent by the Crown Prince these past few days.” Wei Yuewu respectfully lowered her head and said. In the past few days, Wen Tianyao had sent over a lot of medicine for injuries and recuperation.
“How can you be fine with your injuries like this! Sixth Miss Wei, you should take good care of yourself. It’s only been a few days, and you need to rest properly. At this time, who is Sixth Miss Wei going to worship?” The Third Princess’s gaze fell on the basket that Jin Ling was holding in one hand. Although it was covered with a handkerchief, people could vaguely see that there were a few plates of offerings placed below.
“Today is my mother’s memorial day.” Wei Yuewu lowered her head slightly.
“Are you going to the Buddha hall over there?” The Third Princess looked at the Crown Prince at the side and asked in suprise. “What a coincidence, we are also going there.”
A coincidence? Wei Yuewu frowned and raised her head to look at Crown Prince Wen Tianyao, who was standing at the side. A trace of seclusion flashed across her eyes. She inexplicably remembered the note that her mother had left behind. What kind of relationship did Crown Prince Wen Tianyao have with her mother?
Is it really a coincidence that today was mother’s memorial day?
On the other side, the corner of Yan Huaijing’s lips curled into a smile. His handsome eyes silently slid across the Crown Prince Wen Tianyao’s face. Then, his gaze landed on Wei Yuewu’s face. He looked as gentle and elegant as ever. Even though he stood there without saying anything, Wei Yuewu’s heart still shrank slightly due to his strong sense of existence.
She immediately withdrew her gaze with much care that was secretly focused on Wen Tianyao.
“Since we’ve met, Sixth Miss Wei, come with us!” Wen Tianyao said with his hands behind his back.
Since the Crown Prince had said so, Wei Yuewu would not refuse.
Therefore, the group of people headed towards the Buddha hall where the eternal lamp of Marquise Hua Yang was lit. Because Wei Yuewu was injured, she walked at the end of the group. However, another person, the Heir-apparent of Duke of Yan, also slowed down.
Yan Huaijing turned around and asked gently, “Are you feeling better?” His eyes rolled and shone brightly. Wei Yuewu could clearly sense that the Third Princess was slightly tilting her body. Although she was still talking to Wen Tianyao, the smile on her face stiffened a little.
“Thank you, Your Heir-apparent, for saving me!” Wei Yuewu stood still and bowed deeply.
“There’s no need to stand on ceremonies. It’s not the first time I’ve saved you!” Yan Huaijing said nonchalantly. A trace of treacherous tenderness flashed through his eyes. Several plum blossom petals were blown down from the branches and landed under his long curled eyelashes. Together with that pair of bewitching phoenix eyes, he radiated with brilliance that even made the sunlight dim a little.
Wei Yuewu shifted her gaze away to avoid the seductive expression on his face, only to bump into another gaze of inquiry.
Crown Prince Wen Tianyao’s gaze fell on Wei Yuewu.
At the same time, he saw the Third Princess’s slightly wrinkled face.
Wei Yuewu lowered her head and walked slowly, lagging further behind the others. This time, Yan Huaijing did not make things difficult for her. He didn’t change the pace of his steps and slowly walked in front of her, blocking Wen Tianyao’s gaze just in time.
Within the hall, there were no fewer than a thousand eternal lamps. Wei Yuewu saw Wen Tianyao leading the Third Princess to the left, and she brought Jin Ling to the corner on the right. The eternal lamp of Wei Yuewu’s birth mother, Madam Qin, was lit there.
Because she had been here once, she found the eternal lamp easily.
Jin Ling took out several melon and fruit offerings and placed them in front of the eternal lamp. Wei Yuewu knelt on the prayer mat and kowtowed a few times at the eternal lamp. She then raised her eyes to look at the glittering eternal lamp, and the corner of her eyes became wet.
Something in her memory seemed to have loosened up. She seemed to be able to sense how the weak and beautiful young woman lying on the bed forced herself to support her thin body. She combed the little girl’s hair before the bed. After combing the girl’s hair, she turned around and pulled the little girl’s hand. Then she turned the litter girl around and touched her head with a loving look on her face…
“Marquise Hua Yang will definitely be happy to see such an obedient and filial daughter like Sixth Miss Wei.” A deep voice sounded in her ears.
Wei Yuewu suddenly woke up and wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes with a handkerchief. She raised her head to look at Wen Tianyao and whispered, “Your Highness.”
“Marquis Hua Yang has devoted his life to the country and guarded the border. He hasn’t married for so many years. I’m very curious about what kind of person Marquise Hua Yang was. She actually made Marquis Hua Yang so infatuated with her.” Wen Tianyao did not turn his head, and his gaze still landed on the eternal lamp.
Infatuated? The corner of Wei Yuewu’s lips curled into a mocking smile. She really couldn’t sense how infatuated her father was!
“Father has been busy with state affairs for many years, so he may not be able to consider his personal affairs.” Wei Yuewu’s answer was well-organized, neither flaunting nor belittling.
But the answer was the same as what an ordinary passer-by would think of.
Perhaps he was surprised by Wei Yuewu’s reply, Wen Tianyao turned around and looked at her. Although the tears on her pale and exquisite face had been wiped away, it was hard to hide the hatred in her eyes. A trace of deep thought involuntarily flashed in his eyes.
“Marquis Hua Yang will probably stay in the capital this time after he comes back. Sixth Miss Wei can also enjoy the happiness of family union with Marquis Hua Yang. I heard that Sixth Miss Wei was raised up in your maternal grandparents’ for many years. Was this the intention of the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang or the last wish of Marquise Hua Yang?”
Wen Tianyao stared at Wei Yuewu with sparkling eyes. There was a kind of deep meaning in his eyes that Wei Yuewu could not understand. His eyes seemed to be examining her, wanting to find out something from her face.
