Chapter 347 The Cannon Fodder Flower Demon of the Abstinent Buddha 19
*
As Yun Wu's consciousness gradually became clear, she felt a bump and she slowly opened her eyes in a daze.
What came into view was the roof of an unfamiliar carriage. Yun Wu’s eyes were hazy. She blinked and then slowly sat up.
She remembered that Chu Wuxu came when she was sleeping in the small temple, and then...
Yun Wu had no strength left in her body. After she sat up, she saw Chu Wuxu sitting next to her.
He was wearing a loose green robe with black hair and a high crown, holding a book in his hand, and his handsome eyes were staring at her.
"Master Buddha..."
Yun Wu's voice was weak. She remembered that she fainted and when she woke up she was in a carriage.
The carriage was moving, but no sound from outside could be heard. The walls of the huge carriage were covered with linen cotton, which seemed to have a soundproofing effect.
She had never seen such a big carriage before. The ground where she was lying was like a bed, and Chu Wuxu sat on the edge of the bed.
"Are you still dizzy?"
Chu Wuxu's voice was cold. He then put down the book in his hand and reached out to touch Yun Wu's face.
Yun Wu remembered that when he kissed her, the corners of her mouth were broken, and she subconsciously avoided him.
She did not notice that Chu Wuxu's eyes had become darker. She suddenly remembered something and looked around.
"Where's the little Lingzhi..."
Chu Wuxu's eyes became deeper, his slender hands clenched tightly, and he spoke in a calm voice.
"Bai Yu and Ye Yu took it to make soup."
"What……"
Yun Wu wanted to get up, but her arms still had no strength and she was swaying in Chu Wuxu's arms.
"Not true. I think you should worry about yourself now."
Chu Wuxu said in a deep voice, and the look in his eyes was the same one Yun Wu saw in the small dilapidated temple.
"I'm sorry, Awu, I gave you too much medicine."
As he spoke, he held Yun Wu in his arms. Yun Wu was still a little groggy. Although she was not feeling uncomfortable, she was still sleepy and wanted to sleep.
"Just get some more sleep, we'll be there soon..."
Chu Wuxu said, leaning over, lifting the quilt, and lying down with Yun Wu in his arms.
Almost there? Where to?
Yun Wu was confused, and the feeling of shortness of breath came back again.
The words she wanted to ask turned into sobs and were torn into her stomach...
In the dim light, Yun Wu vaguely heard Chu Wuxu muttering to himself in a calm voice.
"Awu will definitely forgive me, right..."
"You were the one who abandoned me first and didn't want me, Awu."
Yun Wu felt her earlobe slightly itchy, and she shook her head in a daze, trying to explain.
She wanted to say that she didn't mean it or something like that, but she was too sleepy.
Forget it, let’s take a nap first.

The news of Chu Wuxu's return to the imperial city was not publicized, only a message was sent to the emperor in the palace.
The emperor was extremely delighted, and less than a day after Chu Wuxu and his companions set out from Qing County, he ordered their horses to gallop and meet their team halfway.
He specially provided all the good horses in the military camp so that they could escort Chu Wuxu back to the imperial city at full speed.
Qing County was not very far away, and the thousand-mile horse traveled quickly and arrived at the foot of the imperial city in just a few days.
Chu Wuxu rested in the mansion for an hour, and was then personally welcomed by the eunuch in the palace to enter the palace to meet the emperor.
In the magnificent hall, a middle-aged man in a dragon robe clenched his fists and coughed weakly twice.
The moment he saw Chu Wuxu walk in, the emperor quickly stood up from the dragon throne, and the eunuch beside him hurriedly supported him.
"Wu Xu greets his uncle..."
Chu Wuxu was dressed in the attire of a prince and looked handsome. When he was about to kneel down to salute, he was stopped by the emperor.
"Get up, get up."
The emperor was not in good health, and he looked at Chu Wuxu gently with his insightful eyes.
"I thought you were really going to become a monk and that we might not see each other again in the future. Unexpectedly, you changed your mind and returned to secular life. Good, good..."
Chu Wuxu's father was the King of Huainan, the emperor's elder brother. After the King of Huainan passed away, he became a prince.
Chu Wuxu is the only child left by the emperor's brother and sister-in-law. He has loved him since he was young and treats Chu Wuxu like his own son.
Even the throne, he wanted to pass it on to him.
It was just that Chu Wuxu went to a Buddhist temple half a year ago. He was born with a cinnabar mole between his eyebrows, so he was a Buddhist. Now that he had no ties in his heart, he wanted to convert to Buddhism.
The two of them sat down in the hall. The emperor did not shy away from anything and simply had Chu Wuxu's couch moved to the side of his dragon throne so that he could sit on it.
"I asked someone to take you to the palace when you returned to the city, but you went back to the palace first. Is there something urgent?"
"No..."
Chu Wuxu's voice paused, under the gaze of the emperor and the eunuch behind him.
He said calmly:
"After a long journey, your nephew will take your wife back home to rest first."
"Madam? You have a wife?"
The emperor was stunned for a moment, then an indescribable joy appeared on his face, and he couldn't help coughing several times out of excitement.
The eunuch behind him who was bringing water was moved away by the emperor.
"Who is it? Which girl? Do I know her? Is she a pilgrim you met at the Buddhist temple? Or a lady from a certain family in Qing County?"
"Tall or short? Fat or thin? But I haven't received any news about your marriage."
The emperor was extremely curious and surprised, because his pure-hearted nephew might have returned to secular life just because he had a wife.
In this case, his wife was a meritorious official of the Northern Dynasty.
"I will bring her to the palace someday, and the emperor will be able to see her."
Chu Wuxu stood up, bowed and said goodbye, then lowered his eyes and added:
"As for marriage... we haven't gotten married yet, but it's only a matter of time..."
After Chu Wuxu left, the emperor took a sip of the tea brought by the eunuch and sighed with emotion:
"Wu Xu is really something. If he doesn't make a name for himself, he will make a splash. He is so bold that he claims she is his wife before they even get married, and directly brings her back to the capital. Young people are just impatient..."

It had been a long time since Yun Wu transformed into a human form and had not had such a peaceful and sound sleep.
Before, she worried every day whether she would meet a Taoist priest who could kill demons and that the demon would be in danger. She couldn't eat or sleep well.
But this time she slept very soundly. In her dream, she was eating a big chicken leg, which smelled so delicious. Because you can't eat meat in the Buddhist temple, so in her dream she thought about eating the chicken leg slowly and savoring it well.
But she didn't know who it was outside the dream, but she suddenly picked her up and seemed to get off the carriage. She could also vaguely hear voices talking.
The big chicken legs in her dream disappeared and turned into a pile of green leaves in the blink of an eye. She was about to vomit.
The dream was like a mirage, and after it dissipated, she slowly woke up.
I felt refreshed and relaxed all over, and I don't know how long I slept.
She slowly sat up, opened her eyes, and was about to stretch her muscles, but she froze.
What came into view was neither a horse-drawn carriage nor the Zen temple of the Bodhi Temple.
Instead, it was an unfamiliar secret room, which was very well decorated with vases, bookshelves, desks, incense burners and everything else. It looked like a wing room of a wealthy family, but it was clearly a secret room.
The bed guard was made of the finest pearwood, the curtains were feather weaving, and even the bedding on Yun Wu's body and the quilt beneath her were made of silk and satin worth thousands of gold.
Yun Wu sat on the bed and blinked in confusion.
Then he fell down again and covered his head with the quilt.
She must have opened it the wrong way, so she slept with it again.
