Who cares about who

  Huang Pu Jing Hao was stunned for a while after receiving the news, "The princess really wants to go to Lingyin Temple?"

  "Yes, the carriage is ready. The princess should have left by now." The guard stood beside Huangfu Jinghao and replied respectfully.

  Huang Pu Jing Hao's heart was shrouded in gloom. What kind of game is the Red Sun Princess playing? Is she really not bothered by his actions at all?

  "Was there anything unusual about the princess before I came back?"

  The princess once accidentally bumped her head while playing with several princes, and then ordered the garden to be sealed off. Fortunately, Madame Ren Yu stopped her, so the princess let her take care of the garden instead.

  No wonder I haven't seen Ren Yi for the past two days, it turns out he's been taking care of those flowers. Huangfu Jinghao furrowed his brow, "Do you know why the princess wants to seal off the garden?"

  Those were some rare and precious herbs he had searched far and wide for... even Princess Chiyang was delighted by them in the past...

  The guard hesitated for a moment, and Huangfu Jinghao looked at him with displeasure. "Tell me everything!"

  "Yes, young master. Before you returned, Lady Ren Yi advised the princess again to give up her thoughts of you, and this time the princess agreed."

  Did she agree? Could a single sentence decide to put down her thoughts about him? Huangfu Jinghao vaguely felt that it wasn't that simple, Ren Yi had advised Chi Yang Gongzhu many times before, but each time ended in angering the princess and getting punished, so why was this time different?

  "Your Highness—"

  "It's all right, send someone to follow and protect the princess' safety, don't let anyone else get close to the princess from now on."

  "Yes. And another thing, the princess had that little brat leave the princess's manor."

  "Which one?"

  "The princess saved a young man's grandmother and younger brother outside before the prince returned, then that young man said he wanted to repay the princess and entered the mansion. For some reason, this morning the princess had him leave again."

  Huang Pu Jing Hao furrowed his brow, "What's the young man's family background?"

  "Don't worry, young master, we've all investigated clearly. He's just a child from a poor family, with no relatives or background to speak of, and it's just the three generations relying on each other for survival."

  What does Princess Chi Yang want to do? Cultivate her own confidant?

  "Your Highness, if you're worried, I can go and..." The guard made a throat-slitting gesture.

  Huang Pu Jing Hao's eyes swept coldly, "Kneel down!"

  The guard immediately knelt down and said, "Young master, please forgive me."

  "He is the one who saved the princess's life, and you dare to secretly plot against him? It seems that you have forgotten who the master of this princess's mansion is?"

  "Guard, I didn't mean it like that."

  "What do you mean?" Huangfu Jinghao's sharp eyes stared at him, "I let you stay in the princess's mansion to protect the princess. I also asked you to pay more attention to her affairs for her protection. Hmph, it seems that you have other intentions and want to bypass the princess?"

  "Spare my life, I'll never dare again!"

  "Hum, go and receive thirty lashes yourself, then tell the servants of the princess's mansion why you were flogged, so that they can remember it for a long time!"

  "Yes, thank you for sparing my life, young master." The guard's face turned pale as he was pushed forward to receive his punishment.

  Another figure suddenly appeared, "Master, isn't this a bit too severe?"

  Huang Pu Jing Hao looked at him, "Dong Ye, Chi Yang Gong Zhu is everyone's master, this is an unquestionable fact. However, some people think that just because they have received my favor, they can look down on the princess. Can this be tolerated? Although the princess may be arrogant in her actions, she is still a princess and our master. I don't want anyone to forget this!"

  The man named Higashino was taken aback and immediately lowered his head. "I remember, I will never let such an incident happen again."

  "Ren Yi was sent by the princess to take care of flowers and grass in the garden, what do you think?"

  "The princess said Ren Yi is a person she trusts..."

  "Huang Pu Jing Hao sneered, 'Are you really stupid or just pretending to be? The princess has already said that she wants to seal off the garden, but because of Ren Yi's plea, she left it open. Do you think the princess would truly trust her?'"

  "This - princess didn't behave inappropriately at that time!" Higashino was very puzzled.

  "Behave? Also, if the princess is really as arrogant and reckless as rumored outside, things would be much simpler."

  "Who is the prince and what does princess mean?"

  Huang Pu Jing Hao sighed, "I think so, and she also saw through Ren Yi's heart at once. I guess she won't trust Ren Yi again in the future, nor will she use her."

  "This——"

  "Renyi is useless at chess anyway, let her just take care of those flowers and grass in the garden!"

  "Yes."

  Dong Ye was filled with doubts in his heart. When did the princess have such a mind? Or is it that the prince is overthinking things?

  Huang Pu Jing Hao moved his shoulders slightly, feeling very uneasy in his heart. This time he came back, the current Chi Yang princess gave him a completely different feeling from before.

  The face is still the same, but the thoughts are vastly different.

  At this moment, he couldn't figure out why she wanted to go to Lingyin Temple, and last night's conversation, she actually shouted at him to get out with such a fierce momentum. If someone else said something like that, he would have killed them with one sword, but when it came to Chenxiu, he only had endless surprise.

  ……

  When Chen Xi left the Princess's Mansion in the morning, he was followed by Ji Jingyuan, who said, "Prince Huangfu ordered me to follow the princess and protect her safety."

  She glanced at him lightly in the morning and evening, wanting to ask who was in charge of the princess's mansion, but she thought of her own weak power and finally endured it.

  The horse carriage drove smoothly out of the city gate and after about an hour of bumping along finally arrived at the foot of the mountain where Lingyin Temple was located.

  In the morning and evening, she vaguely remembered that there was also a Lingyin Temple in modern times, but she had never visited it, only heard that it was a scenic spot. Now that she has arrived in this world, after getting off the car, she found that the mountains and strange rocks in the Lingyin area are steep and majestic, with a unique landscape, if placed in modern times, it would definitely be a scenic spot!

  "Princess, shall we go to the Daxiong Treasure Hall or the Guanyin Temple first?"

  "It doesn't matter, anyway both of them have to go and pay their respects!"

  Following Ji Jingyuan's footsteps on the rugged mountain road, looking at the exposed pagoda tip on the half-mountain waist, I couldn't help but feel a sense of awe at the ancient people's architectural skills.

  Fortunately, the road to the mountain was not very difficult to walk, and after half a time, I finally saw the three characters of Lingyin Temple. After entering, Ji Jingyu seemed to have been there many times, taking her around a ancient tree courtyard, and then visited the Daxiong Treasure Hall.

  The treasure hall is majestic and magnificent, with a high lotus seat statue of Sakyamuni in the center of the main hall, about 10-15 meters high. The statue is "wonderfully beautiful" and "full of life", it is an invaluable work of religious art. On both sides of the main hall are the twenty heavenly kings standing statues, and on both sides of the back hall are the twelve round enlightenment sitting statues.

  It was the first time I saw such a magnificent statue in the morning and evening, and a sense of solemnity rose inexplicably in my heart. I walked forward reverently and lit three incense sticks. Ji Jingyuan also donated some incense oil money with great familiarity.

  Isn't this Ji Jingyuan often coming to Lingyin Temple? I had been secretly wondering in my heart, and after paying attention, I found that the little monk's attitude towards Ji Jingyuan seemed quite humble, indeed a familiar guest!

  "Amitabha Buddha, well done! Well done!"

  Just as everyone was in a state of confusion, an old voice came out, and under the gaze of everyone, a monk wearing a kasaya walked out of that side hall. Judging from his appearance, he should be a high-ranking Buddhist master or something!

  "Miss, our Master Yu Hai invites you to take a seat in the side room."

  As soon as Yu Hai was mentioned, the eyes of other fragrance guests changed, and even Ji Jingyuan's eyes changed.
