Zhen Zhu looked stern, but a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. She did not expect that Miss He who was only 10 was not afraid in the face of her blame. She looked Miss He up and down and found that although the girl was pale because she had just escaped with bare life. She had a different kind of temperament and charm.In fact, even Zhen Zhu felt shocked. She couldn’t help but use “charm” to describe a little girl, but this was the first impression that she had about Miss He — “beauty” was not enough to describe the little girl. Her mental aura had surpassed her appearance! Zhen Zhu pondered inwardly. Such an extraordinary little girl, if after some time...He Danggui smiled coldly all at once and said, “Sister Zhen Zhu, are you here to denounce me publicly for my crimes?”Zhen Zhu said with a smile, “I’m very concerned about Zhen Jing as my younger sister. But I just heard what you said. You not only let Zhen Jing break her religious prece

Zhen Jing waved her hands and replied in an indifferent but aggrieved tone, “Hey, we are Taoist nuns. Our skins are rough. It is common for us to be beaten! Don’t worry. I’m not painful at all.” Hearing her words, He Danggui slowly lifted her sleeves. There were twenty to thirty stretches of extravasated blood on her wrist, forearm and the back of hands.He Danggui knew that in the atrium of the Front Palace, there was a quiet bamboo forest. When the wind blew the leaves, it was like the scene in a poem. However, some Taoist nuns in the temple liked to break off those bamboo canes and cut them into bamboo slices to whip others.After a person was whipped by these slices with saline water dozens of times, she would feel extremely painful and her body would be full of lathy stretches of extravasated blood without bleeding. What was more, she didn’t need to bind up the wound and could still work. In the previous life, little He Danggui was whipped by the slice

Glancing at He Danggui who was calm, Tai Chen thought He Danggui seemed to get along well with those guests. Maybe she could learn something from He Danggui. Thinking of this, Tai Chen couldn’t help smiling, and asked in a softer voice, “Miss He, what kinds of herbal medicines do you usually take at home? I can prepare for you.”Hearing her words, He Danggui looked at her and smiled, “Master Tai Chen, you don’t have to do that for me. I’ll get my herbal medicines tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.”Although Tai Chen didn’t understand He Danggui’s meaning, she didn’t think about it more because she just wanted to be polite to He Danggui. If He Danggui really asked her for herbal medicines, she wouldn’t give her easily. So, Tai Chen asked tentatively, “They left in a hurry. What are they going to do?”He Danggui showed a thoughtful look and said intermittently, “They seemed to say something like ‘patrolling the mountain’, but maybe I misheard. T

In the evening, Tai Chen invited nine guests including Duan Xiaolou to the banquet. After three rounds of drinking, a bottle of banned medicine emerged in the banquet. Geng Bingxiu immediately ordered to tie Tai Chen up, and detained all the Taoist nuns who came to see what happened in Fu Mian Yard. Now, Duan Xiaolou, Liao Zhiyuan, Gao Jue and Lu Jiangbei were ordered to come to the Medicine Room and find more evidences. After entering the room, Gao Jue used his broadsword to hit all the medicine cabinets to the ground quickly. The medicinal materials were piled up like a hill, but they couldn’t find the banned medicine they were looking for. When He Danggui knocked on the door, the four people were quarreling. Duan Xiaolou blamed Gao Jue for disturbing the medicines, which was not conducive to searching for evidences.Duan Xiaolou quickly took out a chair from the medicinal materials, and brought it to He Danggui. Then he asked, “Come and sit. Why is your face so pale?

After waking up from a nightmare, Tai Chen felt severe pain and screamed immediately. Jiang Pi threw an apple to gag her mouth accurately.She looked at everyone in the room in horror, such as Fourth Lord Geng and several of his companions, and... Tai Shan and Tai Xi! Tai Chen looked at Tai Xi like seizing the life-saving straw. She hoped that Tai Xi could save her. She didn’t want to go to jail or die! 26 years ago, she and her uncle passed by Yangzhou. Her uncle was jailed for reselling the philter and then died in jail—she didn’t want to go to jail!Tai Xi read a chant and ignored Tai Chen’s gaze for help. Then she looked at Master Geng.Master Geng nodded and said, “Since the account book is found in the Medicine Room, the suspicions of the rest of you will be eliminated.” Tai Shan and Tai Xi felt relieved, but Master Geng continued, “But there is such bigoted woman in your Taoist Temple. You not only don’t know it, but also provide her wit
