Chapter 324: Ancestral Temple
"That being said, the slave still has no trouble in his heart." Shi Xia pursed his lips, as long as he thought of the vicious thoughts of those people outside, he couldn't wait to fly to the Yan Emperor's palace with his wings, sprinkle a handful of poison in the Yan Emperor's meal, and let him die early and live sooner.
In this way, this person will not have to stir up trouble before he dies.
"Well, what are you angry with the dying man?"
Qi Changrong sighed softly, and then shook his head: "What's more, don't say anything else, Emperor Yan's move is in the heart of Lonely." β
It's not the same thing to be confined to Lanyue Building and not allowed to go out.
During the period of time she was grounded, there must have been chaos in the Jin State Mission.
If it weren't for the fact that they often sent people around during this time, which greatly calmed those restless hearts, maybe they wouldn't have to do it without Liang Guo's action, and they would have had civil strife themselves.
And also......
Qi Changrong lowered his eyelids, looked at the long-established panoramic view of the Lanxin Mansion in front of him, and asked casually, "How is Zhao Yueqiu now?" β
"Miss Zhao is resident in Qian's Restaurant, and a few days ago she was anxious because of His Highness's grounding, but since His Highness ordered the slave to pass the word, she has not done anything."
"Speaking of which, the reason why the envoy group's life can be so comfortable is that no one is embarrassed, and it is thanks to Miss Zhao's secret help that she made a lot of money."
If it weren't for the gold and silver in front of the road, those few envoys who were not maintained by His Highness would have been devoured by Cheng'an's wind and clouds, and there would not even be bones left.
"She didn't say when I was going to leave?"
Shi Xia thought for a while, and then shook his head: "I shouldn't have said it, Xie Meng and Qian's Restaurant have been fighting fiercely these days, if Miss Zhao said it, presumably Xie Meng would inform His Highness as soon as possible." β
The expected answer was not surprising, Qi Changrong put away the extra drawings and carefully tied them with red ropes, so that there was only a complete view of the Lanxin Mansion on the table.
"She is a girl's family, it is always inappropriate to be outcast, go to see her alone tomorrow, try to persuade her to leave as soon as possible, you prepare first, and prepare a group of people to escort Miss Zhao back to China."
Shi Xia nodded in response: "Your Highness rest assured." β
After finishing speaking, she paused, a little hesitant: "But in this way, the number of people that can be used in the hands of His Highness will be halved." β
"No problem." Qi Changrong's amber eyes were unusually calm: "If you stay in Lanxin Mansion for a long time, you don't need so many people." β
Hearing this, the doubts that had been hovering in Shi Xia's heart for a long time resurfaced again.
Seeing Qi Changrong's relaxed expression, he probably wouldn't deliberately hide anything, nor would he scold him.
Shi Xia tilted his head and asked quickly: "Your Highness, the slave has never understood why as long as he stays in the Lanxin Mansion, he can be safe?" β
Hearing this, Qi Changrong stretched out his hand and pointed to the most central location of the Lanxin Mansion on the picture: "Do you know what kind of place this is?" β
Following Qi Changrong's point, Shi Xia leaned over to look, but shook his head in confusion: "I don't know." β
"If Gu guessed well, there should be a tablet of the previous emperor of Yan Kingdom."
Qi Changrong squinted, his amber eyes flashed a fine light again, and explained softly: "There will be fixed people entering and leaving it at a fixed time every day, and the expressions on everyone's faces are extremely solemn, and you can smell the strong smell of incense and candles when you get closer." β
"Coincidentally, Gu once saw Yan Yiheng enter alone, and then came out with emotion after an hour."
Looking at Yan Guocheng'an, there are almost no people who can control Yan Yiheng.
Even Emperor Yan can only act as a deterrent, but cannot forcibly order Yan Yiheng to make changes.
The royal family and officials of Cheng'an seem to be very secretive about the Lanxin Mansion, and they almost never set foot on it if they don't have to, making it a natural barrier.
As you can imagine, there is definitely something here that makes those people taboo.
She originally thought about whether it would be the spiritual position of Yan Yiheng's mother.
Later, when I thought about it, it would make Emperor Yan fearful......
No matter how you think about it, there is only the spiritual position of the previous Yan Emperor.
In the face of his own Lao Tzu, even if Emperor Yan controls a country, he does not dare to make a mistake.
Shi Xia was surprised, couldn't help but gasp, 'hissed' lightly, and said with a wink: "You can follow the etiquette system, if the people in the royal family return, they must enter the imperial mausoleum, if it is not necessary, even the palace cannot set up a private spiritual seat." β
"yes." Qi Changrong laughed softly, and said meaningfully: "So guess what kind of place this will be?" β
Shi Xia's whole body stood on end, and he said tremblingly: "Your Highness...... Don't scare the slaves, this shouldn't be the imperial tomb, right? β
"Where did you think you went?" Qi Changrong nodded Shi Xia's eyebrows, and when he saw her frightened face, he smiled helplessly: "The imperial tomb must be magnificent and abnormal, and there are countless dangerous mechanisms, how can it be such a beautiful scene right now?" β
Hearing this, Shi Xia's tense nerves relaxed slightly, and he asked with a little embarrassment: "......What does His Highness mean?"
Seeing that she was really frightened, Qi Changrong no longer sold Guan Zi, and directly revealed the mystery, saying: "The meaning of the existence of Lanxin Mansion should be similar to the 'ancestral shrine' in ordinary families. β
If it is more rigorous, maybe in addition to the previous Yan Emperor, there will be every Yan Emperor......
Hearing this, Shi Xia was not only not comforted at all, but became even more afraid.
Even, shivered.
After a long time, she swallowed her saliva and said stubbornly: "If it is really as His Highness said, then the Lanxin Mansion should be the secret important place of Yan Kingdom, but is the defense here too weak?" β
"Weak guards?" Qi Changrong seemed to have heard some joke, and curled his lips and smiled: "I'm afraid it's a misunderstanding." β
"Shi Xia, haven't you noticed that since you came to Lanxin Mansion, Lone hasn't seen the secret guard in private for a long time?"
Shi Xia's face condensed slightly, and he was speechless for an instant.
She remembered.
Since staying in the Lanxin Mansion, Luo Yi has ...... It hasn't been seen in a long time.
"It's not that Lone doesn't want to see them, and it's not that they don't have news to return to Lone." Qi Changrong let out a long sigh: "It's because they can't get in." β
Suddenly, Shi Xia's scalp tightened.
If it is really as His Highness said, even the carefully trained secret guards of the Jin Kingdom cannot sneak in quietly, then the Lanxin Mansion ...... How scary should it be?
"To put it more clearly, maybe the most inconspicuous little guys in Lanxin's mansion are all disguised by masters in the big interior."
After these days of observation, Qi Changrong almost understood.
Every day, the attendants who appear on the bright side of the Lanxin Mansion will change at least three waves.
And everyone is well-trained, and there is never mud and water between movements.
In addition to the respect for Yan Yiheng, there is also a different kind of solemnity.
After hearing all this, Shi Xia endured the fear in his heart: "Your Highness, the slave is suddenly a little scared. β
"Afraid of what?"
"I'm afraid that one day, I will die unconsciously."
"......" Qi Changrong was speechless and glanced at her: "You think too much, as long as you don't move the Lanxin Mansion, no one will attack you." β
These days, this is the quietest place in Cheng'an.
"That's good." After serving Xia, she patted her chest in fear: "Fortunately, these days, the attitude of the slave is acceptable, and he has never bullied others, and even begged the big kitchen in the mansion to cook medicinal meals for His Royal Highness, all of which touched people's hearts with money." β
Speaking of which, maybe even the cook is a hidden master.
Seeing that what he said was almost the same, Shi Xia almost understood the importance of Lanxin Mansion, and he would be a little more vigilant in the future, so Qi Changrong slowly withdrew the panorama.
Then carefully place it in a long box, hang it on the wall, and wait until you need it.
β¦β¦
The next day, after receiving the good news that Qi Changrong had lifted the grounding, Yan Yiheng came here excitedly, and couldn't help but say: "Come on, Brother Qi, in order to celebrate your freedom, I invite you to the restaurant to drink the strongest wine, and you and I are not drunk." β
Hearing this, Qi Changrong glanced at him and joked: "The third prince is not afraid that you and I will empty people's wine cellars?" β
As soon as these words came out, Yan Yiheng reacted half a beat slowly.
He and Qi Changrong are both very good drinkers, and if they want to get each other drunk, I'm afraid it will not be easy.
Thinking about it, Yan Yiheng shook his head and smiled, and his interest did not decrease: "It's okay to get drunk, just drink two glasses, what does Brother Qi think?" β
Qi Changrong bowed: "Yes." β
Yan Yiheng thought for a while, and then said: "The drink is the strongest, and the meal is the most expensive, hmm...... Then go to Qian's Restaurant? β
The fiercest?
The most expensive?
Qi Changrong was stunned and smiled: "It's okay." β
After a brief discussion, the two took a private boat from the Lanxin Mansion and slowly left this reassuring lakeside.
It's still a long time coming, and the golden carriage swaggers through the market.
Finally, the carriage stopped at the door of Qian's restaurant.
Yan Yiheng took the lead in getting out of the carriage, shaking the folding fan with one hand, like a second master.
Before he walked in, he shouted at the door: "Hurry up, bring the best wine in your restaurant, don't delay the master to drink." β
When the words fell, Qi Changrong just followed, and in the face of everyone's curious looks, with a hint of rude smile on the corner of her lips, she calmly followed Yan Yiheng, without the slightest embarrassment in her eyes.
It wasn't until he reached the staircase leading to the second floor that Qi Changrong suddenly heard a familiar voice.
"Miss Zhao, I'm really here to talk to you, the Qian Restaurant's Forget Worries wine is excellent, and it's relatively rare, my family is going to have a banquet recently, I wonder if I can invite Miss Zhao to bring this wine to support the faΓ§ade of the Lu Mansion?"
"Childe said and laughed, there are thousands of better wines in the world than forgetful wine, why bother with this?"
"Miss Zhao, I sincerely bought wine from you......"
"No matter what you mean, I told Childe a long time ago that the restaurant's 'Forget Worry Wine' stock is not enough, and Childe doesn't have to think in vain." After the words fell, she said again: "The little girl still has something to do, so she won't talk to her son, and she will not accompany her." β
After that, the light green shadow went straight down from the second floor, and the pace was so fast that it seemed like a demon was chasing behind it.
