Carefree tiptoed in the direction of the fight. He was extremely careful along the way. However, there were too many fallen leaves in the forest. No matter how light Carefree's footsteps were, they would still make rustling sounds.
Carefree walked for a while. Just as he was wondering if he had gone the wrong way, his eyes suddenly lit up. He saw a figure flash past his eyes and fly into the depths of the forest in an instant. Carefree only saw the person's back and vaguely knew that it was a woman. His belt and sleeves fluttered in the wind. What a great Flying Celestial Painting. It was a pity that he did not see the woman's face. Carefree sighed to himself.
"Amitabha. Sigh, he escaped again.”
Carefree turned around in surprise and saw a white-browed monk standing behind him with his palms together and a regretful look on his face.
"Master, is there anything I can help you with?”
"Greetings, benefactor." The white-browed monk bowed to Carefree. Carefree didn't dare to be negligent and hurriedly bowed as well. Then, the white-browed monk said," This Penniless Monk understands that I was ordered by Senior Brother Kong to guard the Perching Spirit Tower. Who knew that Senior Brother Kong had not yet headed west, so it was convenient for everyone to send people into the tower to steal the Buddha Bone Sarira. This Penniless Monk has fought several times. Although I have temporarily repelled the people, I'm afraid that this situation will not last long. This Penniless Monk sees that Almsgiver is not an evil person. This Penniless Monk is unable to leave because of guarding the pagoda, so I want to ask Almsgiver to help This Penniless Monk.”
"Please speak, Grandmaster. Xiaoyao will do everything in his power to help Grandmaster.”
"With your words, this penniless monk can rest assured. This Penniless Monk would like to ask the benefactor to give this scarf to the current Imperial Concubine. Tell her that this is a relic left behind by Senior Brother Liaokong. After the Imperial Concubine sees it, she will naturally know her background.”As he spoke, the white-browed monk took out a white scarf from his sleeve.
"What? This, this problem might be a little tricky.”When Carefree heard the words " Imperial Concubine," he felt troubled. He didn't dare to go back and see that so-called imperial concubine, but he had clearly promised her personally just now. Carefree was hesitating when he heard the white-browed monk say,"Benefactor, don't make things difficult for me. In fact, the Imperial Concubine is kind and has a good heart. Moreover, the Imperial Concubine is in the temple this time. As long as benefactor tells the guard that you are passing a token on behalf of this poor monk, the guard will not dare to make things difficult for benefactor.”
"Alright, I'll try. But what if it doesn't work?"
"It won't. Patron, you're not a fool. This Penniless Monk thanks you in advance.”
Carefree took the scarf from the white-browed monk and sighed lightly. He thought to himself," I'll go all out. It's just a consort. What's so great about it? Humph, even if Yang Guang is standing in front of me now, I, Carefree, won't even frown."
"Master, may I ask where the hall is?”
Carefree scratched the back of his head in embarrassment.
"Patron, as long as you go back, you will see a bluestone road. At the end of that road is the main hall. On the other hand, it is the Perching Spirit Tower that This Penniless Monk is guarding. Benefactor, when you have nothing to do, you can come to the pagoda to find This Penniless Monk to comprehend Buddhism.”
"Definitely, definitely. Master, I'll take my leave first.”Carefree put the scarf in his arms, turned around, and followed the footprints he left behind to return to the place where he had just parted with Zhao Dagang.
"Big brother, you've been out for a long time. Why are you only back now? Look, the sun is almost setting, and I'm starving.”Zhao Dagang had fallen asleep under the tree after Carefree left. When he woke up, he saw Carefree when he was bored. Now, he was hungry again.
"Alright, I think we should hurry up and finish this matter before going down the mountain.”
Thus, Carefree followed Monk Ming's instructions and found the bluestone road. Then, he followed the bluestone road and returned to the main hall. Carefree and Zhao Dagang were surrounded by a group of guards as soon as they entered the courtyard of the main hall.
"Stop! Who are you? What are you doing here?"
"I was sent by Yuwen to fetch the holy water from the temple.”Carefree had learned his lesson from the past, and now he spoke much more straightforwardly. At first glance, he sounded like he was really an official. "Take me to see the Imperial Concubine. Master Liaoming asked me to give the token to the Imperial Concubine.”
"Milord, the Empress is currently mourning in the hall. This lowly official will go and ask the Empress.”The guard had obviously heard the news, so he was much more respectful to Carefree.
"There's no need. If you have any tokens, just leave them to this one, brother Xiaoyao. Your Majesty doesn't have the heart to care about these things now.”Gu Han Xuan came to Xiaoyao with a stiff face.
"Brother Gu doesn't look too good.”
"Cut the crap."
"Then forget it. Brother Gu will pass this token to Imperial Concubine.”I can't wait to hear it. It just so happens that you, Gu Hanxuan, can run errands for me and save me the trouble of explaining to the Imperial Consort.
Carefree was taking out his scarf when he heard a maid in front of the hall say,""The Imperial Concubine invites Lord Xiaoyao.”
It's over. This is bad.
Xiaoyao smiled bitterly and put the scarf back into his arms. He apologized to Gu Hanxuan,""Brother Gu, I'm sorry."
Gu Han Xuan had taken some kind of medicine. He snorted at Xiaoyao and walked away.
Carefree made a helpless gesture to the maid and followed her in.
"Wait, you can't go in." The guards stopped Zhao Dagang outside.
"Why can my big brother go in but not me? I have to go in!”Zhao Dagang was about to barge in when he heard Carefree say to him," Dagang, wait outside." I'll ask my brothers to get you something to eat.”As he spoke, Carefree smiled at the maid." Sister, you're so beautiful. May I know your name?”
This was probably the first time that the maid had seen such a handsome and powerful figure tease her. She twisted her alluring body and said with a red face,"This servant Xiao Cui is the Imperial Consort's maid.”
Carefree didn't know why he was in the mood to tease her. It seemed like it was just an instinct. Sigh, it seemed like Carefree had really changed. In the past, he rarely talked to girls, let alone tease them.
"I wonder if sister knows where there are steamed buns or something. My brother is very hungry. If we don't give him food, he won't stop.”
"Daren must be joking. That big fellow, oh no, that Daren is Daren's brother, how could he starve? This servant will give the order now.”After saying that, Xiao Cui walked to the side of a guard and muttered a few words. The guard responded and retreated. Xiao Cui returned to Carefree's side." Sir, I've already given the order. The steamed buns will be delivered in a while." Your Excellency, please follow this servant in. The Imperial Concubine is already waiting for you.”
"Wait for me?" Carefree was puzzled.
"Yes, the Empress is waiting for Daren to point out the solution.”
After Xiao Cui finished speaking, she stopped in front of a room. "Milord, you can enter by yourself. This servant can only walk this far.”
"Then take care, sister." Carefree smiled at Xiao Cui.
"Daren seems to have said something wrong. Xiao Cui is only sixteen, Daren should be Xiao Cui's brother, why do you still call Xiao Cui big sister?”Xiao Cui's bashful look was extremely adorable. Her little face was flushed red, and it reminded Carefree of Li Yunyun, who was far away from home.
"Oh, then I'll call you Little Sister Xiao Cui from now on.”
"This servant is just a lowly servant, how would I dare to be related to Daren? Daren, you better not waste time, otherwise the Imperial Consort will be angry.”
When Carefree heard that the imperial concubine would be angry, he lost his mood and shrugged his shoulders as he pushed the door open and walked in. Xiaocui closed the door as soon as Carefree's feet landed. The light in the room was not very bright. Carefree could only see a graceful woman kneeling in front of a Buddhist painting. When Carefree saw her side profile, he could not help but take a deep breath.
