Chapter 1753 Stiff Death
As Lu Zhaoyun watched the two maids fall straight down, she paused for a moment, stood there for a while, and then suddenly walked towards the two maids.
She bent down and reached out her trembling hand to check the maids' breaths. Suddenly, she jolted and almost fell backward to the ground.
They're dead. Those two maids are really dead.
Lu Zhaoyun sat on the ground, crawling backward with her hands. Her eyes were filled with terror, and she was also somewhat confused. Although she had just tried to break free from the two maids, she had never thought of killing them, because she had been in the Second Prince's residence for so long, and it was actually these two maids who served her diligently.
Of course, her so-called dedication was only slightly better than that of the others in the prince's residence. But for Lu Zhaoyun now, it was already quite good.
But now these two maids have suddenly died, and they're so stiff in their deaths.
She had no idea what had happened.
Lu Zhaoyun sat there in a daze for a while, then remembered what she wanted to do. She immediately forgot about the two maids, quickly got up, and ran outside.
It wasn't that she didn't want to go out during this time, but the Second Prince simply wouldn't allow her to go out, and he wouldn't even allow the Lu family to visit her.
Of course, Lu Zhaoyun knew that no one in the Lu family would likely visit her recently. After all, she was just a concubine, and currently out of favor. To those selfish and pragmatic people in the Lu family, she had no value anymore.
Even her naive and overly ambitious cousin, Lu Rubao, hasn't come to visit her lately.
Lu Zhaoyun ran out. Perhaps it was because it was still too early and many people were busy with their day's affairs. Some of them had gone out with the Second Prince. Perhaps she was lucky today, because she ran out of the Second Prince's residence without being stopped.
After leaving, Lu Zhaoyun felt a little lost, not knowing where she was going. After a while, she remembered that the Second Prince had mentioned that they were going to the Ancestral Temple today.
She also wanted to go to the ancestral temple. Lu Zhaoyun really wanted to see Lu Zhaoling.
After making up her mind, Lu Zhaoyun ran towards the ancestral temple, following the direction she remembered.
Unbeknownst to her, as she ran, a dark shadow followed behind her. However, the shadow was so close to her back that she couldn't see it at all. At this time, it was only just beginning to get light outside, and there were hardly any people on the street. Occasionally, one or two people would be delivering vegetables or pushing buckets to empty the night soil.
Even if they saw Lu Zhaoyun, they wouldn't know who he was, because the clothes he was wearing were not particularly eye-catching.
Moreover, Lu Zhaoyun was running very fast. Some people only saw a woman and rushed past her, and were just a little surprised, but didn't think much of it.
Zhou Shiyue and Lu Zhaoling arrived at the ancestral temple first.
The retired emperor naturally arrived at this time as well.
His memorial tablet was placed on the altar in the side hall, just as before.
The young monk offered him incense, and now the smoke curled upwards, creating a solemn and dignified atmosphere.
The young monks didn't see that the Emperor Emeritus was standing with his hands behind his back, looking around the side hall as if inspecting his territory, and occasionally nodding and saying, "It seems these two young monks are doing a good job cleaning this place."
Zhou Shiyue and Lu Zhaoling lit incense and first offered incense to the ancestral tablets. He wanted to take Lu Zhaoling to worship Buddha, but Lu Zhaoling was not a Buddhist. So Zhou Shiyue went ahead and went by himself. When he came back, he told Lu Zhaoling, "The little monks' master has not been found yet."
Lu Zhaoling recalled what Sheng San Niangzi had said before, and said, "I heard that those masters are still helping to suppress some evil spirits somewhere, but it's not appropriate for me to go to them right now. I think it's better to deal with those things after we find Yama."
So no matter what, finding Yama is their most important task right now. Lu Zhaoling felt that finding Yama was just as important as finding her father.
She sighed as she said this.
"Why are you sighing for no reason? Their disappearance wasn't caused by you. I think they must have some important things to take care of. Once those things are done, they will naturally appear."
Lu Zhaoling said, "What I'm afraid of now is that they haven't been able to resolve those issues after so many years. If they reappear after failing to resolve them, it must be because they need to seek help again."
"But if even the King of Hell can't handle it, what help can we find? If that happens, won't the world descend into chaos?"
Hearing Lu Zhaoling's words, Yin Changxing's heart skipped a beat. He suddenly turned to look at Lu Zhaoling, his expression somewhat serious.
Seeing him like this, Yin Yunting followed his gaze and looked at Lu Zhaoling.
Weng Songzhi also came along today. Yin Changxing had asked him about Madam Mang earlier, and Weng Songzhi remembered some things, but he hadn't figured out how to tell his senior brother yet.
Therefore, he seemed somewhat preoccupied today.
Seeing that Yin Changxing and his son were both looking at Lu Zhaoling, Weng Songzhi's gaze also fell on Lu Zhaoling's face. Lu Zhaoling was still somewhat melancholy, resting her chin on her hand, thinking about things, unaware that everyone was looking at her.
But Zhou Shiyue discovered it.
Zhou Shiyue looked at Yin Yunting questioningly, and Yin Yunting shook his head and pointed to his father.
He wanted to explain that he didn't know anything about it, but his father seemed to have remembered something when he looked at his eldest sister.
Zhou Shiyue's mind raced, and he recalled Lu Zhaoling's earlier comment: "Will the world descend into chaos?" Hearing this, Yin Changxing suddenly looked at Lu Zhaoling. Zhou Shiyue immediately connected the two points, his expression changing as he guessed what had happened.
Is Yin Changxing thinking that when the world is in chaos, that's when Lu Xiaoer might face a life-or-death ordeal?
If that's the case, then finding Yan Jun and Lu Ming might not be a happy thing for them, because finding them might mean that those things can no longer be suppressed.
Thinking of this, Zhou Shiyue's mood couldn't help but feel a little heavy.
Lu Zhaoling snapped out of her reverie and looked up to find everyone staring at her. She paused for a moment, then asked, "Why are you all looking at me like that?"
Zhou Shiyue didn't want Lu Zhaoling to worry so much, so he patted her head and said, "It's just that seeing you grow up, Master and the others are probably very gratified."
