Ye Chu and Wen Zheng kept a low profile when they went to the back mountain. The back mountain of Zhuyin Temple is where the people at the bottom of the mountain used to make a living. If the two of them went there with great fanfare, the imperial guards would definitely seal the mountain.

Ye Chu didn't want to disturb the common people, and she wanted to visit freely, instead of being under the attention of everyone.

Wen Zheng followed her wishes, the two changed into unremarkable clothes, dressed like ordinary couples who came to Zhuyin Temple to offer incense, and walked towards the back mountain avoiding the guards' sight.

"Is the empress really going to the back mountain of Zhuyin Temple with the emperor?"

But before the two of them left for an incense stick, a court lady and a young eunuch were chatting at the corner of the wall.

The little eunuch was a godson of Eunuch Zhang, with very sharp eyes, he could tell at a glance that the people who had just left and refused to make any noise were the extremely distinguished emperor and empress.

The palace maid is the eunuch's counterpart, her eyes are twinkling, and the silk sash around her waist is embroidered with exquisite patterns, but upon closer inspection, it is not the pattern of Fengqi Palace.

The eunuch yawned lazily, and asked wonderingly, "What are you doing here at Zhuyin Temple when you're not serving Concubine Shu in the palace?"

The palace maid didn't answer, instead she urged: "Good brother, just tell me if the emperor and empress are the ones who left just now... I am not running around in the palace, but praying for concubine Shu to the concubine at Zhuyin Temple. The queen mother gives a gift!"

The eunuch nodded, and the maid kept this matter in her heart, and then excused herself to give gifts to the queen mother to get away.

But she turned around in Zhuyin Temple, and finally came to the courtyard where the pilgrims lived, and knocked on the door of a wing room.

"Come in!" A proud female voice came from the wing, it was Qin Xinrou!

Qin Xinrou, who was supposed to be in the palace, unexpectedly appeared in Zhuyin Temple, this is not a trivial matter!

When Ye Chu left the palace, Qin Xinrou was the highest status person in the palace.

Because of the last banquet, she has been very afraid of the child in Ye Chu's womb, and worried that the queen mother in Zhuyin Temple will become Ye Chu's strong support.Because she was really worried, she tried every means to sneak out of the palace, and came to Zhuyin Temple pretending to be an ordinary pilgrim with the influence of the Qin family.

As for the "Concubine Shu" in the palace, Qin Xinrou had already arranged for a maid of similar stature to her, and used the excuse of the cold to recuperate in the palace to avoid seeing others.

When Qin Xinrou saw the maid, she couldn't wait to ask: "The matter has been arranged properly, how is the manpower of our Qin family going to contact?"

The court lady bit her lip, her eyes showed a bit of uneasiness, but she didn't answer Qin Xinrou's words immediately, but said worriedly: "Master, are we really going to do such a thing? ..."

Qin Xinrou couldn't hear such words the most, not to mention that the person who spoke was still a court lady whom she regarded as a confidant, so she immediately interrupted: "God knows this matter, you know it, and I know it. If there is news, don't let it out." Blame me for attacking the elders of your family who work in the Qin family!"

As soon as these words came out, the maid could only sigh in her heart, lowered her head and said in a muffled voice what she had done according to Qin Xinrou's orders.

After Qin Xinrou arrived at Zhuyin Temple, she set her sights on the defenseless back mountain of Zhuyin Temple early in the morning.Because the back mountain is closely related to the lifelines of the villagers at the foot of the mountain, the monks in Zhuyin Temple are merciful, and even if there are distinguished guests, they never seal the back mountain.

After Qin Xinrou sent people to disguise themselves, he used a lot of money to lure a group of bandits who were entrenched in the mountains east of Zhuyin Temple, and asked them to wait for instructions.

At this time, Ye Chu and Wen Zheng went to the back mountain to play in a low-key manner without guards, and it was a good time for them to make a move.

Qin Xinrou's eyes flashed brightly, and she pulled the maid to say a few words.The latter bit his lip, with a look of fear in his eyes, but finally followed his orders and walked out.

Qin Xinrou had the Qin family as her backer and had a lot of money in her hands, so she promised a lot of money to lure the bandits.

The bandits didn't know who they were going to attack on the mountain behind the Zhuyin Temple. Although they had heard a little bit about the nobles coming up from the Zhuyin Temple recently, they never expected that someone would let them, a group of mountain bandits, attack the royal family.

The bandit leader, who had been waiting impatiently for a long time, saw the palace lady who came to report the news, and a lustful look flashed in his eyes.

These bandits are used to bullying men and women, and the maids around Qin Xinrou are also considered pretty, much better looking than ordinary women.If it wasn't for the members of the Qin family who brought a lot of money when they first arrived, and the hidden guards with strong martial arts who taught the bandits a lesson, the palace maids would have already become the playthings of the bandits.

The palace lady was a little uncomfortable being looked at by such eyes, and the expression on her face was also extremely indifferent.

She conveyed Qin Xinrou's request to the bandit leader, and pointed out the direction to the back mountain of Zhulin Temple for them to kidnap Ye Chu.

She has been watching Ye Chu outside the wing room, remembering Ye Chu's attire very clearly at this time, and described it to the bandits articulately.

For the sake of several boxes of money, the bandit leader licked his lips, greeted his brother neatly, and went straight to the mountain behind Zhuyin Temple.

The gangsters dispersed, and it didn't take much effort for someone to spot the target.

With another sharp whistle, the five big and three thick men gathered together and approached Ye Chu and Wen Zheng aggressively.

Qin Xinrou hid in the dark and watched all this, feeling really itchy.She couldn't help but took two steps forward, and watched Ye Chu more closely who was in a dangerous situation.

What's more satisfying than seeing an enemy in trouble?

Qin Xinrou bent her lips, leaned against the big tree and watched Ye Chu amusedly avoiding the bandits' attack under Wen Zheng's care.

This embarrassing posture greatly pleased her vicious heart, and the feeling of ecstasy spread, making her almost forget where she was.

But at this moment, when Wen Zheng used the saber in his hand to fly away a big knife chopped off by a bandit, he looked up and caught a glimpse of a familiar figure in the bushes in the distance behind the bandit.

Although he didn't see it very clearly, Wen Zheng felt his heart skip a beat, and almost subconsciously shouted: "Who's there?"

The bandit leader heard the sound and thought it was a villager who had inadvertently intruded, so he ordered two of his men to arrest Qin Xinrou.

When Qin Xinrou saw this scene, although she felt a pity that she had been discovered, she thought that she was disguised at this time, and Wen Zheng might not be able to recognize herself, so she suddenly became more courageous.

She took out a small wooden sign from her sleeve, which was the token she got when she sent the Qin family's hidden guards to negotiate with the bandits.

The two bandits who were sent to capture Qin Xinrou saw that she was not in a hurry, and even took out the token entrusted by the boss before, and immediately put away their fierce faces.
