The next day.

The prince drove the sedan chair out of the imperial city, followed by envoys from various countries, heading out of the city with great momentum.

The spring is cold and drizzle, and some buds sprout from the bare branches.

After seeing off the prince and his entourage, Jiang Nan walked quickly in the palace corridor with her head lowered, but the direction she went was not back to the East Palace, but towards the North Palace Gate.

"Princess, would you like to go to Changle Palace to see His Highness again?" Lan Qing followed closely and asked in a low voice.

Jiang Nan shook his head: "No, seeing you again will only increase the sadness."

Lan Qing sighed, the Queen issued an edict, and the Crown Princess went to Lingye Nunnery with Princess Qingli. It sounded like a blessing, but in reality it was banishment.

Lan Qing couldn't figure out why Jiang Nan, with his temperament, was willing to follow the order in such a lowly manner?

He also hid it from the prince.

There was a simple carriage parked at the entrance of the palace, and Qingli had been waiting for it for a long time.

The carriage was shabby, with blue cloth curtains, and the horse pulling the carriage was also a thin old horse, so it could only be considered neat.

Nothing like the flamboyant and extravagant Qingli before.

After Jiang Nan got in the car, Qingli just looked up and said nothing.

Lingye Nunnery was built in a deep mountain and deep valley fifty miles outside the city. It was guarded by the imperial army and had always imprisoned the female family members of the royal family who had made mistakes.

The carriage was moving very slowly, and it was not even two hours after having traveled fifty miles. At noon, the convoy stopped. The commander of the imperial army rode to the carriage and said respectfully: "Crown Princess, Princess Qingli, we will be here in about an hour. Can you get off the car to rest and have some food?"

Jiang Nan glanced at Qingli. Qingli was silent along the way. She was completely different from before. She was also sitting on the side in a reserved manner. She sighed: "Okay! I happen to be a little hungry."

Before getting off the car, Jiang Nan opened her mouth to say something, but she still held it back.

The rain was almost non-existent, and there was mostly white mist in the mountains and forests. Lan Qing had prepared a resting place in advance, and Jiang Nan sat down and used some things.

Suddenly, there was a cramp in his stomach. Jiang Nan's face turned pale. She covered her stomach and walked quietly to a distance. When she couldn't see the Imperial Army and the others, she ordered Lan Qing to stay outside.

Fortunately, there was white mist all around. Just as Jiang Nan was about to untie his belt, a low voice came from behind: "Princess."

The voice was lewd and sneaky.

"Ah!" Jiang Nan was frightened and turned around to take a look.

Shen Qinghui squatted pitifully next to the big tree, looking miserable.

"What happened to the princess?"

Lan Qing heard Jiang Nan's shout and was about to walk in, but Jiang Nan stopped her: "Don't come over, I'm fine!"

Jiang Nan endured the abdominal pain, gritted her teeth and asked Shen Qinghui: "What are you looking for me for?"

Shen Qinghui changed from squatting to kneeling, and said miserably: "Liang Hao knows everything! You burned down my Penglai Pavilion and asked me to meet, and he sent a killer to kill me. I have no choice but to come to you!"

"Aren't you afraid that your mother won't be able to get the antidote?" Jiang Nan raised her eyebrows, a trace of suspicion flashing in her eyes.

Shen Qinghui's face turned cold, his blood-stained eyes stared at a stone in the distance, and said bitterly: "My mother protected my life so that I could escape. I'm afraid she won't survive!"

After a pause, Shen Qinghui shed a few lines of tears and said heartbrokenly: "My mother is dead. Liang Hao will never trust me again. He will definitely replace me. I can only come to you!" Liang Hao gave up on you so easily?" Jiang Nan would not trust people easily, especially a duplicitous scum like Shen Qinghui.

"Perhaps in his eyes, I am not worth mentioning at all. Among the four elders, our Shen family is the easiest to replace!" Shen Qinghui's face turned red with anxiety. He knew that Jiang Nan would not trust him gullibly, thinking How to show loyalty without looking disgusting.

"What about your sincerity in defecting to me?" After enduring it, Jiang Nan lost all desire and simply sat on the ground and had a pleasant chat with Shen Qinghui.

Shen Qinghui raised his eyes and looked at Jiang Nan: "Is the Crown Princess interested in replacing Liang Haodu? As far as I know, there are not many people in the Hundred Ghost Camp who really want to go against the imperial court. They are all forced to do so. That’s all! If the person in charge is replaced, Baigui Camp can still benefit the people!"

Jiang Nan was stunned.

Shen Qinghui whispered: "I know who was responsible for the unjust murder of the Gu family in Imperial Capital recently!"

Soon, the coachman who was driving was stripped of his clothes and thrown into the woods. Seeing that the coachman seemed to be a different person, the Imperial Guards were about to ask, but were glared at by the Crown Princess, who was very familiar with the coachman, so they Not much to say.

An hour later, the carriage stopped at Lingye Temple.

After Shen Qinghui, who was pretending to be a coachman, helped Jiang Nan get out of the carriage, he whispered in a low voice: "No men are allowed in or out of this nunnery. I will hide it myself. When I make an appointment with that person, you can come out to meet him."

"Yeah!" Jiang Nan nodded slightly, looked at Fu Qi standing at the door of the nunnery, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Princess!" Fu Qi stepped forward and saluted.

"Why are you here?" Jiang Nan looked at Fu Qi.

"The Imperial Army guards the nunnery on a rotating basis. This month it is the subordinates' turn to guard the nunnery. If the Crown Princess has any errands, please come to me!" Fu Qi lowered his head and replied.

Qingli walked past the two of them. Fu Qi turned around and saluted Qingli. She glanced at him lightly, smiled at Jiang Nan and said, "You are really lovable."

The same sarcastic words, Qingli used to be arrogant and domineering when speaking, but now Qingli is restrained and cautious when speaking.

"I thought you had stayed in the nunnery for a long time and had really cultivated your moral character. Unexpectedly, you still spoke without thinking. How dare you lie in front of the Buddha?"

Qingli's face turned slightly green and she didn't reply.

Jiang Nan and Qing Li walked into the nunnery one after another.

Lingye nunnery is neither big nor small. When entering the nunnery, you are required to change into a coarse Zen robe. The women in the nunnery all have cold faces and do not like to communicate with others. After seeing the ceremony, everyone went back to their respective rooms.

Lan Qing was sent back to the Imperial Capital by the imperial army. There were three vacant rooms in the small courtyard. Jiang Nan lived next door to Qingli, and the other one was unoccupied.

At Yin o'clock the next day, Qingli got up on time, knocked on the wooden fish and chanted sutras in the house. The two houses were only separated by a wall, and it was so noisy that Jiang Nan couldn't sleep anymore.

After opening the window, not long after, I saw Qingli carrying a bucket and going out. After a long time, she was sweating profusely and came back with a bucket full of water. After pouring it in the small kitchen for a long time, the smell of rice wafted out.

Jiang Nan was greatly surprised. When she walked over, she saw Qingli holding a bowl and eating her meal with pickles.

She looked around and saw that there was no porridge in the pot. She asked in surprise: "You can only cook for one person? That's amazing! Can you cook for one person?"

It was hard to tell whether he was praising Qingli for being able to cook so little food or derogating Qingli for being selfish.

Qingli didn't raise her eyebrows: "There is no one to serve you here. If you don't know how to cook, you will be hungry!"

"It seems you have been hungry for many days."

Jiang Nan understood, pulled up his sleeves, and prepared to cook. He took a spoonful of water from the bucket and heard Qing Li say coldly: "That's the water I picked up. You have to pick it up yourself!"
