Chapter 132 I Grow Old with the Holy Monk (15)
The two stood there in silence. After a long while, Sang Tian slowly spoke.
"The holy monk actually..."
Before Sang Tian could finish her words, Guan Yi interrupted her, "Princess, I was impolite. When I return to the temple, I will practice hard to wash away the consequences of my sins against you."
Sang Tian naturally didn't want Guan Yi to do any hard training, but she knew she was powerless to stop him now, so she lowered her head and stopped talking.
All the way to the palace, Guan Yi no longer rode in the same carriage with Sang Tian. Instead, he walked with the guards.
As soon as he entered the palace, Guan Yi was taken away by people sent by the emperor. Sang Tian didn't even see him for the last time.
When Xia Qingli heard that Sang Tian had returned, he immediately rushed to see her.
Compared to before, Xia Qingli's complexion looked a lot rosier, and his thin figure had not gained much weight.
Another different point is that Xia Qingli is accompanied by a room guard.
There was something wrong in the atmosphere between the two of them.
It had only been a short time since Sang Tian left when Xia Qingli and Guard Fang had already made progress. There was something wrong in the way they looked at each other.
Xia Qingli looked at Fang Shiwei with shy eyes, and Fang Shiwei also had an extremely innocent look and blushed at the sight of her.
Sang Tian went over and took Xia Qingli's arm and pulled her aside and asked in a low voice: "Royal sister, what happened between you and Guard Fang? You see, this is unusual."
Xia Qingli was an extremely shy girl, and her face immediately turned red when Sang Tian asked her this.
She patted Sang Tian's shoulder in a scolding tone, "Stop talking nonsense!"
No matter how Sang Tian pestered Xia Qingli, he just refused to say anything. Sang Tian had no choice but to give up.
Xia Qingli looked at Sang Tian, who was wearing plain clothes, with eyes full of heartache.
She knew that her sister had always loved the gorgeous red dress and had never worn such plain white clothes.
Seeing that Xia Qingli's beautiful eyes were about to drop golden beans, Sang Tian hurriedly explained, "Royal sister, I eat well and drink well in the temple, and there are two little monks to play with me!"
Sang Tian told Xia Qingli about Guangde and Hongshan, which made Xia Qingli laugh.
She hasn't laughed like this since Sang Tian left.
In the next few days, Sang Tian didn't see Guan Yi again. She went to ask the emperor but was driven out every time.
In desperation, Sang Tian could only ask Xia Qingli for help.
Xia Qingli only made a slight move and Sang Tian knew Guan Yi's whereabouts.
After meeting the king of Daqi, Guanyi went to the temple built by the emperor in the imperial palace and stayed there alone.
Sang Tian has never been a person who sits and waits for death. She sneaked out at night while Xia Qingli was asleep.
She had figured out the location of the temple during the day.
The emperor was afraid that someone would disturb Guan Yi, so he did not leave anyone guarding around the temple, and Sang Tian slipped in easily.
This temple is much more luxurious than the Longming Temple. There are rockery and bamboos everywhere, as well as an artificially dug stream.
The moonlight sprinkled on the pebbled road, illuminating the way ahead for Sang Tian.
In a Zen room in the distance, the lights were on brightly, and Sang Tian walked over slowly.
Guan Yi was sitting in front of the window with his eyes closed. There was anxiety on his beautiful face and his thin lips were tightly pursed.
On the table in front of him were scriptures that had not yet been opened.
Hearing the footsteps, Guan Yi slowly opened his eyes. When he saw Sang Tian, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
The sense of guilt in his heart grew stronger.
He could even see the illusion of the princess now.
