Chapter 393: The Imperial Concubine's Temple
at her face, as if he couldn't believe she had gone through the same thing as him.“So, when I see you, I want to help you. Actually, I’m not really helping you, I’m just helping my past self. When I..."Taifei Temple" Li Huan murmured those two words, pulling that little maid towards the tavern. 。As soon as they left, Yin Qi and Qin Luoyan also stood up. The two looked at each other, both seeing doubt in the other's eyes. 。Li Huan was still riding a horse with her maid, while Yin Qi and Qin Luo Yan were taking a carriage. 。In the carriage, Qin Luo'yan’s face was heavy. She couldn't help but ask Yin Qi, "That Man Nation's Taifei temple, is it a temple or someone's residence" Yin Qi was a little surprised that she could ask such a question, but after thinking about it carefully, he understood. After all, if it were really just a temple, the officials wouldn't have taken people there. 。The Empress's Temple in Man Country is actually not a temple at all, but rather a prison for the empress. 。This temple was built by the emperor of Man after he came to power, during a time when he eliminated his rivals. The empresses lived here; they were all concubines of the previous emperor. The current Man emperor didn't kill them, he simply confined them here. This was already a great concession, nothing more than fear of incurring the displeasure of the court officials by committing too much bloodshed. 。"Yin Qi was explaining..." 。Qin Luoyan nodded slightly, "According to your words, all the women living in Taifei Temple are just some women who have been relegated. Logically speaking, they don't have much power. Then why did the officer bring people to Taifei Temple"Yin Qi was silent for a while, as if thinking about something. After a while, he slowly said, "Although those women don't have real power, they are all the former emperor's women. If I guessed correctly, there must be some among them who were favored by the former emperor, and they know a lot about the former emperor's descendants." 。"
Qin Luo'yan was a little stunned, but she knew Yin Qi's abilities. If he said something, it was most likely true. She couldn't help but think of the secret about the Man Kingdom royal family. It was said that the Emperor of the Man Kingdom chased the prince who had failed in the coup all the way to the border of Nan Yue. If it now involved the Taifei Temple, perhaps it was related to that secret
For some reason, although Yin Qi answered Qin Luo'yan's question directly, she always felt that something was strange. A woman's intuition is very strange; it comes suddenly but is surprisingly accurate. So she stopped talking until the carriage had driven for an hour and stopped in the suburbs of the capital city. "。After much to-ing and fro-ing, it was completely dark. 。This remote countryside is sparsely populated. Apart from the dilapidated farmhouse in front of you, there are no other buildings. 。Although Li Huan was an impulsive person, she wasn't stupid either. She knew she couldn't just barge in recklessly, so she went around to the back door of Zhuangzi's house. 。She crept into the courtyard behind the mansion with her maidservant, carefully avoiding detection. 。After all, this is just a courtyard for imprisoning women. For so many years, only four or five guards have been responsible for guarding it. There has never been any incident, so the security in the manor is not strict. Therefore, it seems that the two of them can easily sneak in. 。Qin Luoyan followed Yin Qi out of the carriage. Just as she was thinking about how to get into the courtyard, she saw Yin Qi already walking forward and knocking on the courtyard gate. 。"This is..." Qin Luoyan's question was cut short as the door to the courtyard was flung open. A drowsy guard poked his head out, 。"What are you doing" the guard said, rolling his eyes at the two of them. 。 Yin Qi stepped forward and bowed, taking out Lin Qingfeng's token and saying, "We are from Spring City and came to the capital city under the order of the mayor to do some things. But it's dark now, and it's not convenient to travel at night. My sister caught a cold, and as you know, the geographical environment of the capital city can make people sick at night." 。Now that the city gates are closed, we can't get in. So we'd like to trouble you for the night. We hope you will be kind enough to let us stay here. 。"Qin Luoyan was speechless for a moment. Although Yin Qi's explanation seemed seamless, could it really be that easy to get in Shouldn't the guards here be more vigilantHowever, much to Qin Luoyan's surprise, the guard's eyes lit up. He glanced behind the two of them and saw only a carriage driver following them, seemingly no one else. A hint of looseness appeared on his face. 。Yin Qi seemed to be prepared, and he took out a silver note from his bosom and handed it over. "Brother, rest assured, we absolutely won't stay. Besides, even if you don't trust me, you have to believe that this city lord's token is not for nothing. Everyone who works for the steward has inconvenient times, and convenience for others is also convenient for oneself. 。“ The guards, who were already hesitant, couldn't resist the temptation of the silver notes after Yin Qi's persuasion. They finally accepted the silver notes, opened the courtyard gate and let the people in. 。Once they crossed the threshold, the guards led the three of them towards a side courtyard. They seemed to avoid the sensitive rear garden along the way. After bringing them to a guest room, the guard said, "You can stay in this room, but remember, don't leave this courtyard. As for food, I'll have it delivered to you shortly." 。Don't wander around late at night, there are quite a few crazy women in this compound. You girls are so delicate, if you get hurt, don't blame me for not warning you. 。"Don't worry, sir. We know the rules when we're out and about." 。Yin Qi bowed his hands and instructed the coachman to send the guard away. 。
As soon as the guard left, Qin Luoyan couldn't help but ask the question that had been burning in her mind, "How did you know the guard would let us stay here"
Yin Qi smiled, his eyes gleaming, "This manor has existed for over ten years. Have you noticed any signs of renovation"
Qin Luoyan shook her head
Yin Qi continued, "The fact that there hasn't been any renovation means this place isn't valued. How much could there possibly be to gain in a place that isn't valued The guards stationed here must have the worst duty imaginable." 。There were no other buildings along the way. The only advantage this estate had was that it had a lot of houses, so I thought those guards must have been eyeing them up for something. 。Once someone takes lodgings, as long as the money is sufficient, renting out several rooms is certainly common. It's not easy to support a family solely relying on the guard's pay. 。"Upon hearing this, Qin Luoyan had a sudden realization. No wonder that guard had effortlessly led them to this courtyard. It seemed like this kind of thing was quite familiar to them." 。Furthermore, when the guard opened the door earlier, he yawned several times in a row. He was pale and thin with dull eyes. There was also a strong smell of tobacco on him, probably from smoking opium for a long time. Opium addiction costs money, but as long as the price is right, he would definitely be persuaded. 。Yin Qi then explained. 。If you like "Fu Zi Mo Qin Luo Yan", please copy and paste the following URL to share with your QQ, WeChat or Weibo friends, thank you for your support!
