On this day, Shi Fei rose as usual, washed up, and after a simple breakfast, went to the Taichang Temple's prayer hall to worship the Buddha.
With the help of Monk Feng Xi, she was able to stay in the thatched hut outside the Taichang Temple.
Although the conditions here were quite rudimentary, eating plain tea and rice and staying in a lowly abode, to Shi Fei, life here was much better than the Imperial Palace.
At least here there was no scheming.
Every day here, listening to the resonant sound of the Taichang Temple's bell and the chanting of the monks, made her feel much calmer inside.
Although Little Xinzhuo couldn't come every day, he would visit her every few days.
Ma Jingtian would sneak to the thatched hut every day to bring Shi Fei some delicious vegetarian snacks.
Master Mo would occasionally bring some flowers and plants from the courtyard to Shi Fei.
Gradually, a smile appeared on Shi Fei's face, as if she had walked out from the pain.
