On her wedding night, she went into exile with her pharmacy arsenal

Chapter 1746 Is she the murderer?

Everyone rested in the front hall for a while. Although they were nervous, it was already late at night and they fell into sleep without realizing it.

There was silence in the hall.

Yan Ruyu was just about to go to the wall of the mechanical device to take a look, when Huo Changhe suddenly said, "Look."

Then, in the corner of the hall, a man stood up and walked towards the back of the Buddha statue.

Yan Ruyu's eyebrows jumped. Behind the Buddha statue, there was only the injured Mingkong. If she went to take a look at him now, it didn't seem like he had good intentions.

Who is this person?

Yan Ruyu thought that what Huo Changhe told her before was the answer, why did another person stand up now?

As soon as the man got around the Buddha statue, the abbot who had been sleeping also stood up.

He drew his sword from his sleeve and quickly walked behind the Buddha statue, where he saw the man reaching out his hand towards Mingkong.

"stop!"

"What are you going to do?"

A cold shout startled the man.

The other people also woke up one after another, and the abbot grabbed them and dragged them outside.

Everyone looked at him carefully: "Ming Jing?"

It was Mingjing who had said before that she was not feeling well and could not come, but because the abbot had just said that there might be danger, she also came, and was with everyone so as not to be left alone.

"Why do you want to harm Mingkong?" the abbot asked angrily.

"I...I didn't," Ming Jing's face turned pale and she was full of fear, "I didn't..."

"You didn't. I saw it clearly just now. After you stole the Buddha statue, you stretched your hand toward Mingkong. You said you didn't, so what did you do?"

Ming Jing was at a loss: "I..."

She couldn't tell.

"I was just sleeping, and somehow I just..."

"Listen, do you believe this?" The abbot sneered, "Why are you involved in everything?"

"You didn't come when I called you, saying you were not feeling well. When you came, you hid in a corner, and then went behind a Buddha statue. You said it had nothing to do with you. How can I expect you to believe me?"

"The abbot is right. This is too strange."

"She usually dislikes Mingkong and thinks he doesn't talk much. She calls him a blockhead."

"But this won't hurt or kill anyone, right?"

"Humph, who knows? Some people are born with vicious hearts and dare to commit murder in front of the Buddha."

Ming Jing's eyes turned red, tears were about to flow out: "It's not me, it's really not me."

"You were caught by the abbot, and you still say it wasn't you? You have no shame."

The abbot frowned and said, "Alright, stop talking."

"Mingjing, you have committed a crime in front of the Buddha and violated the precepts. You must be punished. Follow me."

She glanced at the others and said, "Pairs of people, take turns watching Mingkong."

Mingjing followed her crying.

She took Mingjing and walked back, and Yan Ruyu had a bad feeling.

"I have to get back to that room and I'll talk to you later."

She left quickly, returned to the hut and lay down, her consciousness entering the space.

Sure enough, not long after, the abbot came in with Mingjing.

"Abbot, I didn't. I don't know what happened at the time. I was confused and only woke up when you shouted."

"I did say that Mingkong is dull, but why would I kill her for that?"

The abbot motioned for her to sit down: "Did you hear anything at that time, or did you see anything else unusual?"

Ming Jing thought for a moment and said, "I seemed to hear a faint ringing sound, very faint. I thought I had misheard it at first, but then my mind went blank and I didn't know what was going on anymore."

"Abbot, please believe me, I really didn't kill anyone."

Yan Ruyu was also listening in space. This statement...

She opened her eyes.

"Abbott."

The abbot and Mingjing were both shocked. Mingjing had not noticed that there was someone on the bed at first, and now someone suddenly sat up and spoke. She was so scared that her eyes rolled back and she fainted.

Yan Ruyu: "..."

The abbot held the hilt of the sword with one hand: "Why did you wake up?"

Yan Ruyu smiled lightly: "Your little bit of drug can't make me faint at all."

Her voice was calm and slightly cool, and her eyes were clear and sharp, completely different from when she was jealous of Miss Su before.

The abbot looked stern and alert: "Who are you? Could it be that Mingkong is you..."

Yan Ruyu took out two swords and said, "If it were me, I would just wipe her out. Why would I bother?"

The abbot pursed his lips and said nothing.

Yan Ruyu looked at her and thought of Yinding's words: "Do you know Princess Mingzhao?"

The abbot's eyes slightly opened, his breathing quickened for a moment, then quickly recovered.

"Who in Youcheng doesn't know the name of the princess?"

Before he finished speaking, Yinding pushed the door open and came in: "Liufeng!"

The abbot was startled and looked back. Seeing that it was a silver ingot, his eyes were filled with surprise.

"You...how..."

Before he could finish his words, Huo Changhe walked in quickly.

The abbot's eyes widened: "Your Majesty?"

Huo Changhe said nothing and walked to Yan Ruyu: "Are you okay?"

The abbot's eyes flickered between them.

Yinding said, "This is my princess."

The abbess quickly put away her sword and stepped forward to greet him: "This humble nun greets His Majesty and Princess. I am not aware of your identity and have no intention of offending you. I dare not ask for your forgiveness. I only ask that you do not blame me and all the nuns in the nunnery."

Yan Ruyu looked at her and asked, "Why did you make me faint?"

The abbot thought to himself, you are dressed like this and are still competing with Miss Su for her favor, who would have thought that you are the princess?

She sighed, "Princess, this is not what I want. It's because you said you wanted to go to the Medicine King Temple. That place is strange and dangerous. I was afraid that something might happen to you after you went there, so I tried to stop you. But I couldn't stop you, so I had to resort to this last resort."

Yan Ruyu recalled that this was indeed the case. When she said she wanted to leave, the abbot did not stop her and even urged her to leave quickly. But when she said she wanted to go to the Medicine King Temple, the abbot's attitude changed.

"Why do you say that Yaowang Temple is weird?" Huo Changhe asked coldly, "You'd better tell the truth."

The abbot nodded and said, "I dare not lie. It's really... It's a long story. After the princess and I separated, I wandered the world with Liuyun. But due to an accident, Liuyun died and left her sword to me."

She lowered her head and stroked the sword in her hand.

"I have nowhere to go and it's boring, so I want to go back to Shanghai."

"I heard a lot of news along the way. When I arrived at Youcheng, I learned that the prince was also exiled here. I also secretly went to the princess's mansion and saw that the princess lived a carefree life, so I had no regrets."

"It just so happens that I came across a nunnery and became a nun."

She briefly told the story and then added: "When I first came, there was an old abbess. She was in poor health, but she still had some prestige. I found out that she was not sick, but someone secretly poisoned her."

"At that time, there were occasional pilgrims or women who came here to ask for a place to stay or a meal. At first I didn't pay much attention to it, but one day, I suddenly found that all the women who had come here were gone."

"I talked to the abbess about this, and it turned out that she had also discovered something, so I suspected that her poisoning was related to this matter."

The old abbot was very old, and the poison had reached a very deep level, so there was no cure.

He died before he could survive the winter.

Before his death, he passed the position of abbot to Liufeng.

After Liu Feng became the abbot, he began to investigate the matter secretly.
