Consort Xin’s body stiffened and she stammered, “Yes, back then, I was afraid that I would be like the other consorts and have a miscarriage, so I deliberately made a mistake and was sent to this nunnery.”

“When Yingmin was born, news came from the palace that my good sister also gave birth to a son, but she died from excessive bleeding, and the son was given to the honored consort to raise.”

“This incident sounded unusual to me. I was scared and didn’t dare to return to the palace. I entrusted my son to my father’s good friend’s family for upbringing, but I didn’t expect Yingmin to end up with a disability.” Surprisingly, Lin Yingmin turned out to be a prince. Chu Qingzhi didn’t expect this.

Consort Xin suddenly knelt down. “Miss, no matter what your identity is, please don’t spread what we just said. Otherwise, hundreds of people in my family will die. They didn’t do anything wrong. Please have mercy.”

Chu Qingzhi didn’t agree and only said, “I won’t implicate innocent people.”

Consort Xin was already satisfied with this answer. “Thank you, Miss.”

Madam Xin stood at the side and did not do anything. She was wondering if the assassins had succeeded at this time.

Chu Qingzhi glanced at Madam Xin and knew what was on her mind. “I’ve already killed all the assassins you sent. They won’t come back. I’ll give you a chance now. Stop immediately. 1 can pretend that nothing happened. If you’re stubborn, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”

Jing Hong was protecting the country at the front. These people were causing trouble at the back. If not for the fact that this woman had not caused any serious consequences and had been fooled by the man, she would have ended her life by now.

Madam Xin couldn’t help but take a step back. She looked at Chu Qingzhi in fear. “You killed them?”

Chu Qingzhi said calmly, “I did!”

Madam Xin found it unbelievable. Those were the assassins from the Rui Mansion. They were all well-trained. How could they all be killed silently? “You’re lying to me. They’re so powerful. How can a girl like you kill them?” Chu Qingzhi said unhurriedly, “If you don’t believe me, 1 can bring you to see their corpses. Do you want to see them?”

Madam Xin was afraid and took another step back…

Ignoring Madam Xin, Chu Qingzhi walked over and helped Consort Xin up. “Where exactly is the map placed at Tiannan Temple?”

Consort Xin shook her head. “I don’t know.”

Chu Qingzhi left the nunnery and found the few people waiting for her under a locust tree.

When Chu Qingning saw Chu Qingzhi return, she immediately went forward and said happily, “Fifth Sister, you’re finally back.”

Chu Qingzhi smiled at Chu Qingning. “I’ve made you worried.”

“It’s ok as long as you’re back.”

Chu Qingzhi said to everyone, “We can go and pick the herbs.” She looked at Lin Yingmin. “Please bring them there, Young Master Lin.”

Lin Yingmin nodded. “Okay.”

Chu Qingning grabbed Chu Qingzhi’s hand and asked, “Fifth Sister, aren’t you coming with us?”

Chu Qingzhi said, “I have other things to do. Go back to the Chu Village after you pick the herbs. We’ll talk about the rest when 1 come back.”

Chu Qingning reminded, “Then come back early.”

Chu Qingzhi nodded. “Okay.”

After that, they split into two groups. Chu Qingning and the rest went to pick herbs while Chu Qingzhi rode her horse and rushed to Tiannan Temple.

On the way, she sent a message to Tang Jinghong and asked him to rush to Tiannan Temple to find the map together. This map must not fall into the hands of the people in the eastern border.

When Tang Jinghong saw Chu Qingzhi’s message, he rushed to Tiannan Temple anxiously.

From the capital to Tiannan Temple, it took only an hour and a half. From where Chu Qingzhi was, it would take two hours.

Tang Jinghong arrived at Tiannan Temple first and immediately rented a small courtyard before going to the kitchen to cook for Chu Qingzhi.

Many high-ranking officials and nobles from the capital came to offer incense. Due to the distance from the capital, these high-ranking officials and nobles would stay here for the night. There were many exquisite small courtyards built at the back of the mountain for these people.

Chu Qingzhi got off the horse and looked up at Tiannan Temple.

There were 99 steps leading up to Tiannan Temple. Tower pines were planted on both sides of the long stair.

Tiannan Temple was built between three mountains. On the right, a huge waterfall that was three feet wide fell from the cliff. It was as beautiful as a painting.

Chu Qingzhi retracted her gaze and walked up.

The environment was very quiet. The sound of bells rang, making one feel calm.

As a national temple, Tiannan Temple had always been very popular. Now it was evening, and there were still many people coming and going at the entrance.

Tang Jinghong called a young monk to wait at the entrance. He described Chu Qingzhi as very beautiful, with a ponytail adorned with a simple silver hairpin, wearing a light green dress. Basically, people would recognize her at first sight. The young monk, six or seven years old, with a shaved head and wearing a cute monk’s robe, had a string of prayer beads hanging around his neck. He stared wide-eyed at the passing people.

Suddenly, his gaze fell on a person who matched the description. He hurriedly walked up and bowed, “Miss, are you Chu Qingzhi?”

Chu Qingzhi paused her steps, looked down at the young monk, his round face very cute, “Did Tang Jinghong ask you to wait for me here?”

The young monk widened his eyes in surprise, looking at Chu Qingzhi. “How did you know?”

Chu Qingzhi touched the monk’s bald head. The more she looked at him, the cuter he became. “Because I know. Can you bring me to him?”

The young monk tried his best to speak in a grown-up manner. “Of course, 1 specially waited for you here.” Saying this, he led Chu Qingzhi towards Tang Jinghong’s temporary residence.

Chu Qingzhi smiled and asked, “You haven’t seen me before. How did you know I’m Chu Qingzhi?”

“Benefactor Tang said you are very beautiful, and when I saw you, I would be able to identify you.” The words “very beautiful” were emphasized by the young monk. Chu Qingzhi couldn’t help but want to rub his face.

This young monk was too cute. Chu Qingzhi laughed. “Thank you.”

The young monk waved his hand. “You don’t have to thank me.”

After passing through several corridors, a hall, and a few turns, they finally arrived at Tang Jinghong’s temporary courtyard.

The young monk stopped at the entrance of the small courtyard. “Benefactor, we’re here.”

“Thank you.” Chu Qingzhi smiled and thanked him. Then, she quickly walked into the small courtyard and went straight to the steaming kitchen.

Tang Jinghong heard footsteps and went to wash his hands, preparing to go out to greet Chu Qingzhi. However, as soon as he washed his hands, Chu Qingzhi had already walked into the kitchen..
