Chapter 332 Going to Huguo Temple
Although Shen Tingzhi didn't know what Yin Shuang felt about him, he had always been a cautious person.
Faced with such an abnormality, he couldn't help but be on guard.
"Yes, I understand."
Even if Shen Tingzhi didn't confess, Yu Po would still keep a close eye on Yin Shuang. He must not be careless before knowing the other party's background and intentions.
"Second Young Master, I just thought about it. General Wang should have gone to Madam Jin by now."
"But judging by the current situation, he hasn't been discovered."
"It's too dangerous for our people to sneak in now, so I think we should stay outside and observe the situation."
"General Wang is a veteran of many battles, and his abilities are more than enough to handle the situation inside."
"Our people are guarding outside. If they find anything wrong inside, they will rush in to rescue them immediately."
Yu Po was not sure whether his intrusion just now and the words he used to deal with Yin Shuang had alerted the other party and made them defensive.
If the other party is on guard, then if they send people in, they will not only be walking into a tiger's mouth, but will also cause trouble for Wang Zongyuan.
Shen Tingzhi sighed and said helplessly: "Just do as you say. We must keep a close eye on it. Notify those who are already inside and tell them to pay close attention and not miss any news about General Wang."
Now it seems that there is no better way than to do as Yu Po just said.
Shen Tingzhi now only hopes that Wang Zongyuan will not be too playful, as not only will he not be able to escape safely, but he will also get himself into trouble.
Having not slept all night, Shen Tianjiao naturally did not feel sleepy in the morning, and even felt a little abnormal in spirit.
This is an abnormal phenomenon that occurs when she has something on her mind.
For breakfast, she only had half a bowl of Tremella soup and nothing else. She was completely different from when she was first passed down.
"Master, Doctor Zhang is here."
Chunchao came in from outside and brought the news that Doctor Zhang had returned from Li Chaohui.
"Hurry, let him in." Shen Tianjiao became nervous when she heard that Doctor Zhang had returned.
The medicine was delivered to Li Chaohui two days ago. If it was effective, it should have shown initial results by now.
Doctor Zhang came in from outside and was about to kneel down to pay his respects when Shen Tianjiao stopped him. "Doctor Zhang, please excuse me. How is the situation?"
"In reply to the Empress, the medicine you sent was indeed a miracle drug. After taking it for just two days, the woman looked much healthier. Her cough stopped, and the sick look on her face disappeared. She looked like a normal person."
Doctor Zhang still couldn't believe that the medicine sent by Shen Tianjiao could have such miraculous effects.
If you don't know that this medicine is ostensibly a medicine that can help people recover from illness, it actually accelerates the decline of organs in the human body.
If the time comes and the poison becomes irreversible even with elixirs, he will definitely ask the Queen to meet the alchemist and ask him to accept him as his disciple.
Shen Tianjiao immediately felt relieved, Duan Qingning really did have real abilities.
Despite Li Chaohui's dying appearance, the medicine she concocted actually made her regain some vitality.
It seems that I have to be more careful about Duan Qingning in the future. Otherwise, I am afraid that I will be the next one to suffer.
No matter what kind of person Duan Qingning is, she is still a Nanchu person. They have different ideas and cannot work together, so it is better to be cautious.
"Okay, that's great." Shen Tianjiao smiled and nodded, "How's Chunniang?"
The person we need to guard against most now is Chunniang who is beside Li Chaohui. She is the person who takes care of Li Chaohui personally. She has been by Li Chaohui's side and poisoned him for so many years without being discovered. It can be seen that she is not an ordinary person.
"On the surface, she appeared calm and happy, but according to the people monitoring her, after she left Li Zhaohui's house, she went to the backyard alone, where she tore her handkerchief into strips with her bare hands."
If this woman becomes cruel, she can be much more powerful than a man. When Doctor Zhang heard the report, he was shocked. How deep is the hatred between Chunniang and Li Chaohui?
Shen Tianjiao narrowed her eyes. This was not good news. At this critical moment, she must not let Chun Niang cause any trouble and ruin her plan.
"Advance the plan, capture Chunniang, and replace her with one of our own."
Originally, Shen Tianjiao was still hesitating whether to replace Chunniang, because Chunniang had served Li Zhaohui for so many years, and many habits and tacit understandings were only shared by the two of them, and no one else could replace them.
If someone suddenly changed the person now, even if he imitated the character very well, Li Chaohui would inevitably find out.
Li Chaohui is a cautious and suspicious person. If she finds out, I'm afraid the plan will still fail.
But now, having Chunniang, a dangerous person, around is always a big hidden danger. If she poisons Li Chaohui in advance, all her efforts will be wasted.
Furthermore, Chunniang hated Li Chaohui to the core, so naturally she would also hate Doctor Zhang who cured Li Chaohui. While she was attacking Li Chaohui, there was no guarantee that she would not also harm Doctor Zhang.
Li Chaohui is from the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion and has saved Shen Tianjiao's life many times before. Shen Tianjiao naturally would not allow others to poison him.
Choose the lesser of two evils, choose the greater of two benefits.
Compared with the failure of his own plan and the safety of Doctor Zhang, replacing Chun Niang is obviously the least risky.
As long as the person who replaces Chun Niang is smart enough, he should be able to handle it.
After all, Li Chaohui, who felt that he had been cured, must be busy causing trouble everywhere and would not have much energy to pay attention to the changes in the people around him.
Moreover, Shen Tianjiao needs to know why Chunniang, a maid who has followed Li Chaohui for many years, must kill Li Chaohui.
After Doctor Zhang left, Shen Tianjiao sat alone for a while, then instructed, "Chunchao, go and get ready. Don't be too ostentatious. Just bring some guards and secret guards. I'm going to the Huguo Temple."
"Master, are you going to Huguo Temple?" Chunchao certainly knew what Shen Tianjiao was going to do at Huguo Temple at this time.
But I wonder if it would be too dangerous to go now, and there is still some time before my lady's death anniversary.
In the past, we would go there a few days before the Mid-Autumn Festival. Nowadays, even if we have big plans for the Mid-Autumn Festival, it is still a bit too early to go, as there is still nearly a month left.
"What's wrong?" Shen Tianjiao looked at Chunchao's embarrassed look and thought something big had happened again.
"Master, isn't it a bit too early to go now? Besides, it's not safe in the Huguo Temple right now. I'm afraid it might be dangerous. Should we wait a while before going?"
Chunchao's worries are not without reason. There are Xirong people in the Huguo Temple. Those Xirong people have ulterior motives. If they know Shen Tianjiao's identity, it will be disastrous.
"Didn't I tell you not to be so ostentatious and keep a low profile, just bring some guards and secret guards?"
"Don't worry, they won't discover my identity. Even if they do, so what?"
"With my second brother and Wang Zongyuan here, how could they let me take risks?"
"If I really took a risk in Huguo Temple, then Wang Zongyuan would no longer be worthy of being the commander of the Xishan Camp."
Shen Tianjiao insisted on going to Huguo Temple today, not only because she was worried about Shen Tingzhi, but also because it was her mother's death anniversary.
Although she had never seen her mother, the longer she merged with this body, the more she could awaken the blood connection from her original body, her family, and her parents and relatives.
Now, Shen Tianjiao often forgets her past and forgets that she is not her true original self.
This battle with Li Chaohui is inevitable. Once the war starts, I don’t know whether it can be recovered and ended in a short time as I expected.
And even if it ends quickly as she expects, there will be many things that will bother her and prevent her from getting out of it.
Then she would have no free time at all to go to the Huguo Temple to worship her mother.
It would be better to take advantage of the time now and go to Huguo Temple to pay your respects first. It doesn’t matter whether the time is advanced or not, as long as you have shown your sincerity.
Chunchao saw Shen Tianjiao's determination to go to Huguo Temple, so she didn't say anything more. Her master had to do what she decided to do, and no one could persuade her.
Seeing Chunchao go out to make arrangements, Shen Tianjiao instructed Xia He again, "After I leave the palace, go talk to Qiong Niang and ask her to handle the palace affairs temporarily."
"Master, can't I go with you?" Huguo Temple is very dangerous now. Although Xia He knows that she can't help much if she goes, she is worried about not being with Shen Tianjiao.
"Well, if you don't go, Chunchao won't go either. You two will stay in the palace and help Qiong Niang handle the affairs of the palace."
"Not only are my second brother and Wang Zongyuan there, but Yupo is also there. My safety will be safe, don't worry."
Shen Tianjiao naturally knew about Xia He's worries, but it was no exaggeration to say that the Huguo Temple was now surrounded by dangers.
Although Chunchao and Xiahe are loyal, the fighting ability of these two girls is too weak.
Chunchao still has some basic martial arts skills, but at best he can only deal with ordinary people who have no martial arts skills at all.
Not to mention Xia He, her combat effectiveness is basically zero.
If they really encounter danger, they will not even be able to protect themselves. Instead, they will become a burden and increase the risk factor.
On the contrary, it is more convenient to do things without their burden.
Xia He naturally knew her own abilities, so even if she was worried, she knew that she couldn't go with them. Not only would she not be able to help, but she would become a burden instead.
She regretted it very much now. When she was still in the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion and the housekeeper was personally teaching them martial arts, she should not have given up because it was too hard.
Chunchao, Xiahe, Qiutong and Dongyang, these four girls, as the people who serve Shen Tianjiao personally, naturally have to know some martial arts.
In addition to self-defense, they can also protect Shen Tianjiao's safety when she is in danger.
But in the end, except for Qiu Tong, the other three gave up for various reasons.
I didn’t feel it before when Qiu Tong was around, because whenever there was danger, Qiu Tong was always the first to rush forward to protect Shen Tianjiao and them.
Now that Qiu Tong is gone, I realize how useless I am when something happens.
"Okay, stop worrying about everything all day long. I'll be back in two or three days at most."
"With Yupo here, what do you have to worry about? Her fighting power is much stronger than Qiutong's."
Shen Tianjiao stepped forward and patted Xia He on the shoulder, "Okay, you should go get ready too."
"Second Young Master left in such a hurry this time that he probably didn't even bring a change of clothes, let alone thick clothes."
"Go prepare some clean clothes for the Second Young Master. He always likes to be clean and tidy. It would be a pity for him if he didn't have any clean clothes."
After Shen Tianjiao finished explaining things to Xia He, she waved her hand and signaled her to leave.
She went to her room, opened a secret compartment and took out a dagger and a short sword.
I haven't practiced martial arts for a long time, and I don't know if the skills I learned in my previous life have become rusty.
Ever since she came here, Shen Tianjiao has been busy dealing with various affairs of all sizes in the court.
Every day he was either busy fighting with officials or busy suppressing riots, like a headless fly, never having a moment's rest.
No matter how busy she is every day, she always takes time to practice martial arts.
But no matter how much practice we do, it is just theory and lacks practical experience.
The last time Zhenbei Hou was in danger, although she showed her skills, she could also clearly feel that her martial arts were regressing.
If she doesn't find someone to practice with, she might not be able to participate in the war in the near future.
On the battlefield, martial arts and physical strength should be prioritized over strategy. After all, as long as the battle plan is formulated, most of the rest of the time will be spent leading troops to fight on the battlefield.
If you don’t have good martial arts skills and enough physical strength, you will easily make mistakes and be discovered by the enemy.
On the battlefield, many things can change overnight. If the commander's weakness is discovered and attacked by the enemy, it will not only affect the morale of the soldiers, but may even affect the outcome of the entire battle.
Therefore, Shen Tianjiao must speed up her pace, practice martial arts diligently, and strengthen her physical strength.
It would be impossible for her to have such an opportunity in the palace. Not only were there too many people around her, but there were also too many gossipy people in the palace.
If you see her fighting against someone, people will definitely talk about it in private, because people can't stop talking.
These private discussions will eventually fly out of the palace like they have wings.
Who knows what terrible image her image will be portrayed in by then.
