On the sun was on the branches, a blue-covered carriage drove out of the city gate without any hurry and headed towards Anguo Temple, located in the eastern suburbs of the capital.

The autumn wind blew, swaying slightly, Song Jianing leaned against his mother, staring blankly at the crack of the curtain. The village where Guo Xiao placed her in his previous life was also located in the eastern suburbs. That day, she came out of the palace and the carriage was walking on this official road. As she walked, the carriage turned into the earthy road leading to the village. The earthy road was bumpy, and she was carelessly eating lychees, accidentally...

What does it feel like to be choked to death?

Song Jianing shivered and touched his throat. He suddenly felt uncomfortable and couldn't help coughing.

"What's wrong with An An?" Lin lowered his head and asked his daughter with concern.

Song Jianing covered his throat and said, "Mom, I'm thirsty."

Lin smiled and picked up the blue and white kettle placed on the small cabinet next to him, and helped his daughter pour tea. The fragrant osmanthus tea was six cents full.

Song Jianing drank two bowls in a row, and her throat finally felt less blocked. After drinking, Song Jianing sighed secretly. During the past few months she lived in her uncle's house, she had never dared to go out for fear of meeting enemies from her previous life. This time her mother proposed to go to Anguo Temple to burn incense, but after the fear just now, Song Jianing suddenly felt that she should really worship the Bodhisattva.

At the same time, at Duke Wei’s Mansion, Guo Boyan was talking to the Grandma: "Mom, the autumn is clear and the air is very refreshing, and I want to go to Anguo Temple to find Master Huiyuan to learn chess skills."

Master Huiyuan is a famous monk in the capital. He was invited by Emperor Xuande to the palace to preach many times. Guo Boyan had a good personal relationship with him, so he went to the next plate when he had time. The lady knew about it and smiled and said, "Go and go, when will you come back?"

Guo Boyan said: "Only one plate is next, I should be able to come back to have dinner with you."

When a master plays chess, he can play chess for a long time in one game. The lady nodded and used to remind her son to be careful on the way.

Guo Boyan nodded and said goodbye to his mother. He turned around and stepped out of the main hall. The morning sun shone on his face, and his spirit was flying.

The incense in Anguo Temple was in full swing. Lin held his daughter's hand and waited outside the Main Hall for a while before it was their turn to go in and burn incense.

Lin bowed first, touched the ground with his forehead, and silently prayed to the Buddha to bless her and her daughter with her life, without any disasters or difficulties.

Song Jianing was the second time to worship. The little girl knelt there in a good manner, looking up at the solemn Buddha statue with clear almond eyes, devoutly like the jade girl under Guanyin's seat, her pink lips slit when she kowtowed. She begged the Buddha to bless the mother and be safe in this life, and bless her to marry a good husband who loves her and is filial to her mother.

After incense, Lin added twenty taels of incense oil.

It was still early to walk out of the Main Hall. Lin put on his hat and lowered his head to ask his daughter: "Does An An want to visit the temple?" Guo Boyan only asked her to come and incense. When she came, she decided to leave. Lin did not want to stay here for too long, and always felt that something bad would happen.

Song Jianing did not dare to stay outside for too long, for fear of meeting Guo Xiao again. He saw that his mother had no intention of staying for more, so he shook his head.

The mother and the mother went down the mountain now, and the carriage walked back steadily. Lin's heart became more and more at ease. She was about to leave and Guo Boyan did not show up. Maybe he did have any plans, but something happened to the Duke's Mansion to trip him up, right?

As soon as the thought fell, the carriage suddenly shook left and right, as if something had jumped up. The tall and mighty horse neighed anxiously. Lin instinctively hugged his daughter first, and was about to ask the coachman what had happened, a cold voice suddenly came from outside the curtain that made her heart cold: "Run to the Duke of Wei's Mansion as quickly as possible, otherwise I will take your life."

Lin couldn't see it, and Song Jianing, who was covered in her arms, could not see it either. The coachman was frightened by the blood on the man in the Chinese costume and the dagger pressed against his waist. Without thinking, he threw a whip. The horse was in pain and ran towards the capital like running for life. Guo Boyan was satisfied, and raised the curtain of the car with one hand and flashed into the sky.

Song Jianing widened his eyes in shock. Lin noticed the broken arrows and large bloodstains on Guo Boyan's left arm. His already white face suddenly had no blood left.

"Don't worry, I can't die." The child was present. Guo Boyan only looked at Lin deeply when he came in, then sat on the ground with his back against the car board, crossed his legs and raised his legs, lowered his head to check for the arrow injury. The injury was caused by his subordinates. It looked serious, but in fact he had only had a little more blood, and it was not a big deal.

After confirming, Guo Boyan turned his head and unexpectedly met a pair of black and white almond eyes, which was Lin's daughter. After not seeing each other for half a year, the little girl's eyebrows and eyes grew a little more delicate and beautiful, and her face was still chubby and white, tender, as painful as her mother, but he was the love of this girl and Lin's...

Guo Boyan looked at the woman who made him greedy for half a year again.

Lin lowered his head and hugged his daughter tightly with his hands. His beautiful face was as white as magnolia petals. I wonder what it would feel like to kiss her.

Knowing that she was afraid, Guo Boyan said in a deep voice: "I met several assassins on the mountain and had to hijack my wife's car. Don't worry, please save your life. When I return home, my mother and I will thank you very much."

He was vague, Song Jianing couldn't understand, Lin's mind was clear, and after thinking for a moment, he understood, and his heart suddenly fell to the bottom. Guo Boyan really wanted to marry her, but he knew that the grandmother would not agree easily, so he designed a bitter plan to be assassinated and then rescued by her. Although she was low in status, she was his life-saving benefactor. As long as Guo Boyan deliberately spread it, his deeds of marrying a widow to repay his kindness would become a beautiful story.

The Grandma's opposition to her son marrying a widow is nothing more than two reasons. One is that she is humble and cannot match the family of the Duke's Mansion. The other is that she is worried that her son will be deceived by the widow and bewitched by the people. The ministers also think so, which will damage the reputation of the Duke's Mansion. Now that Guo Boyan's bitter plan comes out, rumors are blocked first, and the Grandma has to be grateful to her more or less. Finally, Guo Boyan has firmer attitude, and this marriage may really be successful...

Lin was restless.

Guo Boyan saw it clearly and said with a deep meaning: "Madam, don't be afraid. As long as you are obedient, I will never touch you, mother and daughter at all."

In order to marry her, he did not hesitate to self-harm. She still wanted to hide? If you have the courage, try it.

Lin did not have the courage to challenge the majesty of a prince, and his head hung lowered.

Guo Boyan's eyes moved downward. Seeing the girl in Lin's arms looking at him timidly, Guo Boyan smiled, rubbed the little girl's head, and told softly: "I'll arrive at the Duke's Mansion later. Jianing wants to pretend that this is the first time you have seen me. Do you know? You pretend to be like you, and you have a reward, but if you reveal your feelings, I will punish you..."

His eyes turned around the girl's chubby face twice, and Guo Boyan smiled evilly: "I'm punished you for three days and you are not allowed to eat."

He bullied her daughter, Lin pursed her lips and covered her daughter's face with her hands.

Song Jianing is not interested in eating now. She is afraid of death. Guo Boyan actually wants to take their mother to the Duke's Mansion. The Duke's Mansion is Guo Xiao's home. What should she do when she meets Guo Xiao? Because she was Guo Xiao's concubine, she was only worried that she would meet Guo Xiao at this moment. Song Jianing never thought that her beauty mother had fallen into the palm of an equally domineering and powerful man.

The carriage galloped. It took half an hour to come and it took less than two quarters of an hour to return. With the sign of the Duke of Wei's Mansion, the carriage still rushed into the city gate. The people complained, but when they heard that the Duke of Wei, who had made great contributions to the Great Zhou, went out and met an assassin and was seriously injured, the people were immediately dissatisfied and discussed the matter. This was at the feet of the emperor, who dared to assassinate the imperial ministers?

The carriage was parked in front of the Duke's mansion, and Guo Boyan asked the manager to take the Lin mother and daughter to the side hall to rest. He sat alone in the upper room, waiting for the doctor, and waiting for the family who would be frightened. As expected, it was useless for a quarter of an hour, and all the young men rushed over from the white-haired lady to the younger generation below.

"What's going on? Who is so bold to be a sarcastic city in the capital?" The lady asked tremblingly, eager to check her son's injuries.

Guo Boyan held his mother with one hand and smiled and said, "Don't worry, mom, I'm lucky and I didn't let them succeed. I only suffered a little injury."

"I have shed so much blood, but I still say it's a minor injury?" The lady was so anxious that she repeatedly urged people to call the doctor.

Guo Boyan couldn't persuade his mother, so he politely asked his two younger brothers and sisters to take the children away first. Only the grandmother and the prince Guo Xiao were left in the main hall. Guo Xiao was both civil and military. He was fourteen years old and experienced on the battlefield with his father for two years. Naturally, he could see that his father was not seriously injured. He frowned and asked, "Does my father know what the other party's origin?"

Guo Boyan said disdainfully: "Everyone is the same, I can't do anything to me."

The lady sighed: "I almost got shot through my arm. Why are you proud? When you go out, take all your guards with you."

Guo Boyan nodded perfunctorily.

The doctor rushed over, pulled out arrows to stop bleeding and bandaged them with medicine. He was really busy for a while.

"Ping Zhang, you go and see him off." Sitting upright, Guo Boyan ordered his son.

Guo Xiao looked at the grandma and went out with the doctor. Guo Boyan watched his son go away, and then he couldn't hide his excitement and said to the grandma: "Mom, my son went to see Master Huiyuan this time. He said that my marriage was coming. My son didn't believe it, so he asked him who the sacred woman was. Huiyuan replied that the goddess descended to earth and would be prosperous for my Guo family. My mother knew that her son never believed this. Who would have thought that his son was chased by an assassin down the mountain and stopped a carriage. There was actually a beautiful woman with fairy looks hidden in the carriage."

The lady believed in Buddhism and was shocked when she heard this: "What happened?"

Guo Boyan calmly said, "I have arranged the person in the side hall, so I will bring it here for you to see?"

Although the lady was moved, it was related to her son's marriage. She stared at her son and asked, "It's not that you like the beauty of the other girl, and you have been flirting with her and deliberately making up lies to me, right?"

Guo Boyan said in a stern manner: "Every sentence of my son is true. If my mother doesn't believe it, I will immediately ask someone to invite Master Huiyuan and you will confront him personally."
