Chapter 40: It’s pretty hard for both him and her!
Zhao Yi’s guess was correct, the beggar who delivered the letter to find the little poisonous thing was indeed paid by the male lead.
But the male lead didn’t tamper with the bamboo pieces.
It wasn’t that the male lead had no defenses against Zhao Yi, but he knew that Little Poison had no brain and was worried that she wouldn’t be able to recognize the bamboo piece after he put something on it.
On the other hand, the male lead couldn’t take something to tamper with the bamboo piece.
The male lead’s situation today was completely different from the original.
After Zhao Yi awakened, he no longer licked the female lead heavily.
The heroine’s father, Su Changyuan, is only a fourth-ranked Qingliu royal historian, and his salary is difficult to feed the family, so naturally he has no extra resources for the heroine to provide for the hero.
Zhao Yi also exposed the scandalous affair between the two.
The various connections that the hero had originally made with the hero, due to various pressures, also drew a line with the hero.
The male lead is now struggling, and even if he wants to do something, he can’t do it.
In front of the City God Temple, the male lead is wearing a wide cloth scarf and rough linen clothes, with two bamboo baskets by his side, pretending to be a picker and sitting under the shade of a roadside tree.
Looking at the pedestrians coming and going, the male lead could not help but fall into deep thought.
Too many things had happened recently, and he was somewhat caught off guard.
Now that he thought about it, the male lead realized that there were a lot of things he couldn’t figure out.
The male lead especially couldn’t figure it out.
He was a good Buddhist son of the Western Mountain Temple, how did he become the flower monk that everyone shouted at?
The male lead slowly worked his way back, and finally realized the end.
It seems.
Ever since he met that Su Shallow, his life started to go downhill!
Sixth Prince Zhao Yi suspected him of having an affair with the Imperial Concubine and snatched the crucial dragon egg.
Second Prince Zhao Mian wanted to kill him at the birthday banquet, also because of an affair with the Imperial Concubine.
Then, the First Prince Zhao Coronation sneaks in halfway to kill him and snatches away the Luo Han Ancestor.
Although he wasn’t sure of the reason, the probability was that it was also related to the Imperial Concubine.
And then there’s today.
He was already seriously injured, but there was still someone who wanted to poison him.
The more the male lead thought about it, the more he felt suffocated.
If he really had an affair with that Su Shallow, then all these sufferings he had endured would be the punishment that Buddha had sent down on him, and he would have admitted it!
But he hadn’t done it!
He hadn’t even said a few words to that woman!
“Amitabha Buddha!”
The more the male lead thought about it, the more angry he became, and the evil fire in his heart rubbed off and tended to rise.
It wasn’t like he had done anything wrong.
Why did he have to suffer so much?
It has been the custom of the Western Mountain Temple for many years to open a congee hut and give alms to the devotees who come to the mountain for incense.
Nothing has ever happened before!
Who would have thought that the Imperial Princess would rely on a monk for a bowl of congee?
“Amitabha Buddha!”
The male master expressionlessly called out another Buddha’s name.
He swore that he would never drink congee in his life!
At the same time.
After Little Poison got the bamboo slice sent over by the guards, he didn’t think much about it and directly left the royal residence to go out for the appointment.
Only after leaving the door did the little poisonous thing realize a problem that both she and the male lead had overlooked.
She didn’t recognize the road!
And there was no concept of asking for directions in her cognizance.
Standing at the entrance of the royal mansion, looking at the traffic-laden city streets, Little Poison’s face was at a loss.
Where was the City God Temple?
Where was she going to go?
Does this date really have to go?
As she was thinking, someone suddenly started chatting next to her.
“Brother, where are you going?”
“City God Temple!”
“What a coincidence, I’m also going to the City God Temple. I don’t know the way, do you know where the City God Temple is?”
“Of course I know, I’ll tell you!”
Hearing this, Little Poison’s eyes lit up.
Surprisingly, someone knew the way!
She hurriedly turned her head, and then she saw two tall and burly young men laughing and chatting.
While the two were talking, their eyes couldn’t stop stealing glances towards Little Poison’s side.
After determining that she had heard their conversation, the two men were then relieved.
One of the young men said in a loud voice, “The City God Temple is easy to find, you go two intersections ahead along this street in front of the Royal Palace, then turn left and go three intersections to Vermilion Bird Street, and then go two more blocks east along Vermilion Bird Street to the City God Temple!”
“Ah, so it’s so simple ah, thank you brother!”
“You’re welcome, brother!”
The little poisonous creature was dumbfounded, with a bewildered look on his face.
Where was it simple?
Where was Vermilion Bird Street?
Along the road in front of the king’s mansion was there three streets first, or two first?
And what’s left? And where is to the east?
The young man finished and was ready to retire.
At that moment, the young man who had asked the question swept his eyes out of the corner of his eye toward the little poisonous creature, and his raised foot retracted.
The young man who answered the question froze for a moment and followed his companion’s gaze, his face also somewhat hesitant.
Did he not say it in enough detail?
But that was indeed the fastest way already!
He glared at his companion, who immediately understood and asked the question aloud again.
“Brother, that route you mentioned is still too complicated, can it be simpler?”
The little poisonous creature’s spirit was suddenly lifted, and he looked at the young man who answered the question with an expectant face.
The corner of the young man’s mouth twitched.
Ahem!
The young man coughed lightly and replied, “Brother, what I’m telling you is the simplest route, if you really can’t find it, just spend money to rent an oxcart, the oxcart will give it to you directly to go there.”
The young man who asked the question came to a realization, “So that’s how it is, thank you brother!”
After these words were said, the two looked at the little poisonous creature expectantly with their afterimages.
The Little Poisoner frowned and fell into silence.
Spend money?
Spending money was absolutely impossible!
Her money was meant to buy food for her friends, it could never be used to rent an ox cart.
The two young men waited a moment, then fell silent as well.
Looking at each other, both of them took a deep breath at the same time.
The young man who asked the question once again said in a loud voice, “Brother, I can’t afford to rent an oxcart, is there any other way?”
The young man who answered couldn’t help but glance at Little Poison and replied, “Then there is only one way!”
The questioning young man hurriedly asked, “Brother, what solution?”
Little Poison also pricked up his ears.
Seeing this, the young man who answered the question replied stiffly, “Then I’ll just have to take you there myself!”
The Little Poison’s eyes lit up when he heard this.
This one was good!
This one doesn’t cost any money!
Seeing this scene, the two young men no longer hesitated and led the way in front, laughing and joking.
Little Poison was not suspicious at all!
She was also worried about losing them, walking two steps closer, her front chest almost pressed against the two men’s backs.
The two young men were in the mood to pretend to chat at first.
But the little poisonous creature was following really too tightly, like a gangrene on the bone, making the two uncomfortable, and soon they couldn’t pretend anymore.
The two accelerated their steps, wanting to pull away from the little poisonous creature.
The small poison realized that the two walked faster, worried about lost to find the city temple, also hastened to speed up the pace!
The two people ran fast in front, and one person followed closely after them.
The three of them were close together.
Just like that.
A strangely painted landscape appeared on the wide Vermilion Bird Street!
