Chapter 120: Opportunity for Enlightenment
After Jiang Jiao finished her work here, she was worried every day. One day, Jiang Jiao took the maid beside her to relax. As they walked, they didn't know where they were going.
It felt a bit desolate here. It was the legendary cold palace. Just when Jiang Jiao was about to go home, she heard someone talking.
"When will this day end? We have to clean up this barren place every day."
"That's right. After all, we were old members of the Crown Prince's Mansion. His Majesty has ascended the throne, but he has ignored us old people."
"That's right. If your Majesty's parents had not died when he was born, would we have fallen to this point? Humph..."
Another person shouted, "How dare you criticize His Majesty."
The man seemed very dissatisfied and said, "Who do you think you are? Do you think you are the manager? I am not the only one who said this. The rumors all say this.
Didn't the late emperor send His Majesty to the Tianlong Temple because he was destined to be a star of misfortune? This has been said for more than ten years. Besides, there are only a few of us here, who would be able to hear it? "
Jiang Jiao felt uncomfortable after hearing this. Minghe, has he always been carrying such a reputation?
The maid could no longer hold back. Although she was not a subject, she could not bear to see anyone speak of His Majesty in such a way. So she kicked the door open.
Everyone inside was startled.
"Well, you bastards, you dare to talk nonsense about His Majesty here, you really don't know how to live or die. ..."
The maidservant vented her anger and scolded those people. However, the eunuch was not only afraid, but also wanted to wipe out all the things. He didn't expect that his words would be heard by others.
If His Majesty gets the news, they will be dead. This palace maid cannot be kept.
He winked at the other person, who quickly ran over and closed the door. Jiang Jiao looked at their actions and thought to herself that it was not good, and that they were probably going to kill someone to silence him.
The little girl was still naive and had never seen the darkness of this world. She didn't expect that they would dare to kill people to silence them. So Jiang Jiao secretly accumulated spiritual power to prevent any accidents.
The maid finally reacted and asked in panic, "What are you going to do?" Although she was afraid, she still protected Jiang Jiao behind her.
"Haha, what do we want to do? We were just complaining a few words, but you heard it. This matter can be a big deal or a small one, but we don't want to gamble.
It's common for someone to die in this palace. Now that you're here, don't even think about leaving today."
There were four people here, two of them were in the same group, one was timid and didn't dare to offend the other two. The other stood up and said, "You guys did something wrong in the first place, and now you want to kill people, you guys are going to die!"
"Don't scare us. If she tells this to others, all of us here will be killed. Xu An, get out of here, or I'll kill you too. Get out..."
The current situation is three people confronting the other three. Jiang Jiao, the little maid, and Xu An confront the other three young eunuchs.
"Okay, okay, Xu An, since you want to cause trouble, I'll help you." The man had a ferocious look on his face and took out the knife from his sleeve.
"I say, have you forgotten that there is another person? Do I have such a low sense of existence?" Jiang Jiao felt helpless. Didn't these people take her seriously?
In fact, they might have recognized Jiang Jiao's status as a noble person, after all, they could tell from her clothes. But even if they recognized her, they couldn't say it, otherwise it would be an even greater crime.
"I don't care who you are. You'll be a wandering ghost in this well soon." The eunuch had a ferocious look on his face and obviously didn't take Jiang Jiao seriously.
Jiang Jiao snorted coldly: "It seems that you have done this kind of thing many times, deceiving your subordinates and hiding the truth from your superiors. You have a good plan."
The maid's eyes were red. "I'm sorry, Master. It's all my fault. I was too impulsive. I'll cover you for a while. You can run while the chaos is going on."
Jiang Jiao patted the maid, "They are just a bunch of bastards. Wait."
Jiang Jiao stamped her feet slightly, and the stones on the ground flew up, hitting those people one by one. Wrists, arms, legs, everyone was hit.
Soon they lost their ability to move.
"Witch, witch!!" the eunuch shouted in horror.
Xu An was also stunned by Jiang Jiao's move.
Jiang Jiao glanced at him and said, "Go and call for help." Xu An just woke up from his dream and ran away. Soon the imperial guards came to take over the matter.
Ming He also heard about this matter very quickly. Fearing that Jiang Jiao was in trouble, he immediately ran to the palace to see her. He was relieved only when he saw that she was intact.
As for those people, they will naturally be severely punished.
"Tell me, what happened today?" Minghe said with a sullen expression. He looked around at the people serving in the room. There were people kneeling in the room.
The little maid who followed Jiang Jiao today was also frightened and told her everything.
Ming He's face was unclear. Jiang Jiao asked everyone in the room to leave.
He sighed, "You, don't listen to those people. They're all bullshit. It's not your fault."
Ming He had been used to hearing these rumors since he was a child. He didn't care much about them anymore. But when he saw Jiang Jiao comforting him so clumsily, he suddenly felt warm in his heart.
He reached out and held her: "Let me hold you for a while, just for a while."
Jiang Jiao wanted to struggle, but after hearing the tone of weakness, she didn't know what to do. She just stopped moving.
“I was sent to Tianlong Temple when I was young. Although I didn’t shave my head, my life was no different from that of a monk.
The master and his disciples taught me very strictly every day. Actually, I didn't know about those rumors at first. Until one day, the late emperor came to pray for blessings.
A young man of the same age as me from a noble family saw me and laughed at me for being a star of misfortune that would bring bad luck to my father and mother. Although the late emperor punished him at the time, this incident did not make the late emperor look at me more.
Obviously he is my only relative in this world, isn't he? But I have never felt any family love. Maybe it has always been like this in the royal family.
I went back to ask Master why I had no family, was I really doomed to be alone? Would I ever have a family in the future?
I only remember that the master said a bunch of words to me that I couldn’t understand, then he looked up at the horizon, smiled, touched my head, and said that when I soared up, I would get the answer.
Ever since I saw you, I felt that the person the master was talking about must be you."
Jiang Jiao always felt that the master Ming He mentioned had anticipated her arrival, right? Hiss... that shouldn't be the case. Jiang Jiao thought she should go meet this person.
After Jiang Jiao asked Ming He about his master, she decided to find a time to meet him. However, she heard that it was difficult to meet Master Jue Yuan.
No matter how difficult it is, you still have to meet him. Just for the mysteriousness, it is worth meeting him.
