A carriage slowly stopped beside the street. Yang Lihua and her daughter Yuwen Eying got out of the car and walked towards the main entrance of Anning Temple in front. Liu Ye followed with a basket, and several maids followed closely behind.

Today, Yang Lihua took her daughter to Anning Temple to burn incense and worship Buddha, praying that the Buddha would bless Yuwen Eying and find a good family in the future. The news she received when she left the house made her sad, and she prayed to the Buddha to bless her younger brother Yang Xiu to survive in the world.

The Zhou army pacified Shu, the Sui Kingdom was destroyed, and Emperor Yang Xiu of Sui was captured and taken to Yecheng. The trip was extremely dangerous. Yang Lihua could only pray for the Buddha's blessing. Even if Yang Xiu was placed under house arrest for life, she would at least be spared from death.

That year, she married the Crown Prince Yuwen Yun as the Crown Princess. Her fourth brother Yang Xiu was born in the same year. Although she did not live in the Duke of Sui State's Mansion together, Yang Lihua never cared for her younger brother.

As time goes by, the Yang family has been destroyed. The third uncle Yang Zan family, as well as her cousin Yang Zhiji and his widowed mother Yuchi, were placed under house arrest. In addition, the only male male in the Yang family is left with the unknown second brother Yang Guang and the fourth brother Yang Xiu.

"Mother?"

Seeing that her mother was a little distracted, Yuwen Eying asked her concern and held her hand tightly. She had grown up, so many things had gradually come back to her senses. The changes in her grandfather's family made her sad.

"Eying, you must pray sincerely later, do you know?"

"I know."

Yang Lihua was both relieved and heartbroken when her daughter was sensible. What was relieved was that her daughter kept her mouth shut and never mentioned her grandfather’s family to others. What was distressed was that her daughter had to hide her identity from now on. She always said that her grandfather’s family was no longer there.

However, after the Zhou army invaded Chang'an, when the grandfather's family was really destroyed, Yuwen Eying could only cry secretly like her mother, but she did not dare to wear mourning. This secret would probably be buried in her heart for the rest of her life.

Yang Lihua's current identity is a widow who was taken as a concubine by King Yuwen Wen of Xiyang. Yuwen Eying is the stepdaughter of King Xiyang. The origin of the mother and daughter must not be known to outsiders, otherwise trouble will occur.

Yang Lihua was originally the Empress Dowager of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but she had "died" eight years ago. Even if the truth was revealed, the current emperor and the court could not recognize her true identity.

Are you the Empress Dowager? Do you want to return to the palace to give orders? What qualifications are you to be the Empress Dowager of the Great Zhou Dynasty?

Your father forced your son to abdicate. How did you, the legitimate mother, meet the young emperor, the late emperor and the ancestors of the Great Zhou!!!

Yang Lihua could not blame the world, and her daughter Yuwen Eying, although she was a genuine princess of the Great Zhou Dynasty, could no longer be justified. The mother and daughter were just concubines and stepdaughters of King Yuwen Wen of Xiyang.

Yuwen Eying is not the legitimate daughter, or even Yuwen Wen's biological child. Can such a concubine find a husband of a good family background?

No big clan's legitimate son would marry such a woman. Even after marriage, his status in the in-laws' family would not be high, and whether the couple's life can be happy is still a question.

With the status of King Xiyang, it is not impossible to marry a family that is of equal status. The other head of the family may be able to pinch his nose and ask a son to marry Yuwen Eying for the sake of King Xiyang, but it is hard to say that the relationship between the couple will be good.

The orders of parents and matchmakers, the groom married the bride at the orders of parents, but the couple lived a life, and the orders of parents were useless. If the groom was not satisfied with the bride's background, the bride would have to endure the future.

As a father-in-law, Yuwen Wen is very old, and his son-in-law may be only a few years younger than him. He doesn't know what the other party thinks about the young father-in-law, and whether he will sarcastically mock Yuwen Eying, who has a "humble" background, and that's even less.

When she thought that she was originally a daughter who was a golden branch and jade leaves, she might have been unhappy because of her own reasons. Yang Lihua, who was a mother, felt like a heartbreak, but if she had stayed in Chang'an with her daughter, she would have been destroyed now.

It is a fate, so Yang Lihua can only pray for the Buddha's blessing, bless her daughter to marry a good husband, bless her younger brother to turn bad luck, and bless her current family to be safe and safe.

In the courtyard in front of the hall, the large incense burner was filled with incense, with incense mist and green smoke curling. Yang Lihua and her daughter, wearing ordinary dresses, were usually filled with incense here, and other pilgrims. Willow leaves stood behind with baskets and kept bringing out incense.

The Prince's Dianwei Fu Youcai was "releasing the wind" not far away. Today, he led the Prince's guards to the temple with Yuzhuyuan to enter the incense. Although it is impossible for anyone to "save people" now, normal guards are still necessary.

A man approached and whispered and counted in Fu Youcai's ear. He then asked, "Did you order vegetarian food according to the recipe?"

"It all was ordered according to the recipe given by Manager Liu."

"OK."

Fu Youcai nodded. Several restaurants near Anning Temple specialize in making vegetarian food. Their skills are very good. The vegetarian food they make are very popular among pilgrims, and there are many types of quality, and they are frugal.

Cheap vegetarian food is suitable for pilgrims who are short of money, and the most popular among rich people are all kinds of vegetarian meat.

A plate of vegetarian chicken, vegetarian pork, and vegetarian fish were served. If the store didn't say anything, the diners didn't realize that it was vegetarian meat. Only after eating a few bites would they suddenly realize it.

Although it is not real meat, it tastes good and is very popular among rich families. Many wealthy families with big fish and meat often come here to change their tastes, so you have to book in advance if you want to have meals in these vegetarian rooms.

"Be careful, don't let the thief startle Yuzhuyuan."

"Dianwei just don't worry, the stolen people in this temple are all fished by the siege."

"Fishing the lake?"

"What's wrong? Wu Dianwei brought newcomers here to practice, and he caught them one by one. Where were there many stolen people arrested for them?"

Fu Youcai was speechless because he saw Wu Ming walking in from outside the temple just as if nothing had happened. The cat team "consecrated" was indeed very effective in training newcomers by catching and stealing children.

However, he still needs to pay attention to what he should do. He dared not slacken at all. He looked around and confirmed that his subordinates had taken their place. He waved his hand and asked the guards to return to work.

Unless necessary, families in the Xiyang Palace will not disturb the people when traveling, so ordinary travel such as burning incense will not clear the scene with great fanfare, which will increase the difficulty of guarding work.

Of course, if the family members think it is necessary, they can also make a scene, but the few people in the mansion don’t want to do this, so the important task of ensuring safety is all over the guards.

Seeing that Yang Lihua and her daughter were about to go to the hall, Fu Youcai and the other guards followed quietly. At this moment, the incense in the hand of a young man in front of him fell to the ground.

The right hand subconsciously touched the dagger in his arms. Fu Youcai slowly walked towards his right front. While ensuring that he could see the other person's movements, he pretended to be nothing. He just watched the other person go to the incense burner to burn incense before slowly walking away.

An old lady who was inserting incense in front of the incense burner seemed to be trembling when she saw the young man who had just walked over, so she kindly advised: "Young man, don't be afraid, the incense ash falls on her hands and it's a bit hot, but this is the Buddha's test, don't tremble."

"Ah? Ah... No, it's okay, don't be afraid..."

Yang Guang, who was named Liu Kuan, suppressed his shock and said in a sedate manner.

"A young man is a foreigner?"

"Ah? Ahh, yeah..."

Yang Guang was perfunctory, his face looked exactly the same, but his heart was filled with storm, because just now, he actually met his sister Yang Lihua, who was no longer alive!

How is this possible? My sister passed away eight years ago!

The Empress Dowager Yang Lihua of the Great Zhou Dynasty suddenly fell ill at the end of the second year of Daxiang and died soon after. This is a well-known thing. Yang Guang also believed it very well, but when he saw his sister in the temple in Xiyang City eight years later, he could hardly believe his eyes.

Maybe someone looks like his sister, which is also possible, but Yang Guang also recognized the other person: his sister's personal female official Anu!

It can be a coincidence that a person looks like a person, but now it is two people. It is impossible to be so coincidental. How could anyone look like Anu and be with someone who looks like sisters!

And that young lady, judging from her age, Yang Guang felt that it was similar to her niece Yuwen Eying. It was not a coincidence to get together so many coincidences, but the fact: her sister was still alive, and she burned incense in front of him with her daughter and maid!

The heart beat violently, and Yang Guang didn't know how to describe his mood. He hid in hiding for more than a year and was about to survive alone, but he actually met his sister. This was too...

It's incredible!

What to do? What to do? Should we come forward to recognize each other? Or should we figure out the situation first?

Now we recognize each other, what if there is someone around my sister? Once my identity is exposed, it will harm my sister...

But now I don’t recognize each other, what if I can’t see each other again? My sister might just pass by Xiyang. Where can I find her when I leave?

Yang Guang had two thoughts in his mind. When he saw his sister enter the hall and was about to make up his mind, he suddenly turned sideways, avoided a hand that was exploring behind him, and then ran away.

Wu Ming lost his shot and saw the mouse slipping away. He immediately turned around and made a gesture. His subordinates who were supporting the outside world immediately chased the mouse. Fu Youcai, who was beside him, looked at Wu Ming with a dumbfounded look: "Aming, this is..."
