After boarding the carriage, Luo Guan closed his eyes and leaned against the carriage to think.
The old emperor's condition, as Imperial Master Nan Li said, was in extremely bad condition. He was full of twilight and foreboding, and he was probably about to die soon!
When the throne is passed on, the person who sits on that chair will be either the eldest or the second oldest. Luo Guan feels disgusted when he thinks that these two brothers are secretly colluding with the Immortal Sect.
The dean has endured thirty years of suffering that was worse than life and death, and the Qingyang Kingdom that he has protected with all his strength is to be handed over to such a person? Then he really feels worthless for the dean.
At this moment, the carriage suddenly stopped and Luo Guan opened his eyes, "What's wrong?"
The old eunuch said respectfully, "Sir, sir, the old concubine in the Qiuyunzhai house in front is temporarily blocking the road. Please wait a moment."
Some palace officials came forward to expel him and shouted loudly.
Luo Guan pushed open the car window and pushed a group of women with gray hair and shabby clothes in the palace road to the side of the road.
Not far away, there is a dilapidated palace. The three words "Qiu Yunzhai" on the plaque in front of the door are blurred due to fading.
"Who are they?"
The old eunuch came over, crouched and said, "They are all the widows of the late emperor. According to the old practice, they will be buried. Our majesty is merciful and pardoned them after he ascended the throne. Since then, they have been living here in seclusion to observe the filial piety of the late emperor."
He thought for a while and said, "Yes, today is the death anniversary of the late emperor. They should go to worship in front of the spirit. They can't see it on weekdays."
It turned out that they were a group of poor women waiting to die in the cold palace. No wonder the attitude of these palace servants was so arrogant. Luo Guan did not want to embarrass them, "Okay, just wait for a while and let them pass first."
"Young Courtyard is kind!"
The old eunuch shouted a few words in a high-pitched voice, and then the group of palace servants retreated.
Luo Guan was about to close the window when a woman wearing a blue dress carrying a bamboo basket happened to pass by the carriage.
"
Jinya..."
The words reached her lips and she swallowed them back. There were subtle wrinkles on the corners of the woman's eyebrows and eyes, and there were even white hairs growing between her black hairs. It was obviously not her. However, the two people's looks were strikingly similar, including their body shapes and manners.
, all look exactly like the same person.
Coincidence?
Luo Guan remained calm and took a deep look at the woman in blue dress who disappeared at the door of Qiu Yunzhai and closed the car window.
The carriage continued to move forward, and soon after it left the imperial palace, the old eunuch's voice sounded, "Master Luo, I sent you here."
Luo Guan pushed the door open and went out. He glanced at the night sky above his head, jumped down and stretched, "Okay, you all can go back. I drank a few more glasses of wine today and took a walk in this young man's courtyard. You can go back by yourself."
"This... is fine. The servants and others will be sent to Luo Shaoyuan respectfully."
Luo Guan waved his hand and left without looking back. After walking a certain distance, his figure disappeared into the night of the imperial capital.
On a high building, Luo Guan looked at the Imperial Palace and frowned slightly, "Teacher, did you also see the woman just now?"
"Well, that girl Jin Ya is almost carved from the same mold. Do you suspect there is some kind of relationship between them?"
"Yes." Luo Guan's eyes flashed, "Teacher, I want to see what's going on."
Xuangui reminded, "Be careful. There is an extremely powerful aura hidden in the imperial palace. Don't let this person notice it."
Luo Guan felt a slight chill in his heart, which made the teacher notice that the strength of this powerful man hidden in the imperial palace must be extremely terrifying. But think about it, this is normal. The Zhao royal family can cooperate with the Imperial Martial Arts Academy to rule Qingyang for four hundred years.
, nature has its own means.
Jumping off the tall building, Luo Guan put on a black robe and walked along the black robe.
The dark shadow stalked, taking advantage of the passing of a dark cloud in the night, to leap over the palace wall.
Qingyang Imperial Palace, where the Zhao royal family lives, has its own sophisticated defense system. If you break in rashly, even a strong foundation builder will be found.
However, Xuan Gui reminded him that Luo Guan just spent some effort and quietly touched in. After avoiding a group of patrolling palace guards, Qiu Yunzhai was already in front of him.
After climbing over the wall and entering, the courtyard was overgrown with weeds, the ground was piled with withered and fallen leaves, the palace had been in disrepair for many years, and large areas of wooden pillars had cracked and fallen off. Some doors and windows were broken and whined with the sound of the wind. I wonder if these women were...
How do you survive the cold winter?
"Your Majesty, I went to see you today. I look so beautiful, but why don't you open your eyes and come to see me?"
"Bitch! You are all bitches! Your Majesty favors me the most... I want to be crowned a concubine... no, I want to be a queen... When the time comes, I will hang you all!"
"Hit her, hit her hard, you dare to speak ill of me in front of His Majesty, causing me to lose His Majesty's favor..."
A woman banged on the door desperately, crying and fussing, "Your Majesty, please take me out quickly? All the women here are crazy. I am just a normal person. I am afraid!"
Luo Guan looked at it silently. It turned out that the ones he saw outside before were all normal concubines.
Most of them have already gone crazy under the long years of torture.
With a quick glance, he withdrew his eyes, avoided these crazy women who stayed up late at night, and began to look for the woman in the blue dress just now.
A moment later, in a remote small room in the backyard of Leng Palace, Luo Guan looked through the cracks in the tiles and finally found her. Now, the woman was kneeling on the ground, mumbling something, as if she was praying.
Luo Guan hesitated for a moment, turned over and landed quietly, knocking on the door.
"who?"
> A warning sound came from the room.
Luo Guan lowered his voice and said, "Your Majesty, I met you by chance today and found that you and a female friend of mine look almost exactly the same. May I ask if you have any relatives outside the palace?"
The door suddenly opened, and the woman in blue dress had an excited expression. She was about to say something but Luo Guan stopped her, "Mother, although this is a cold palace, it is still an important place of the palace. We'd better go in and talk to avoid being discovered."
"Please come in."
The woman in blue skirt turned sideways and waited for Luo Guan to enter. She looked around and found no one before closing the door.
She turned around and said impatiently, "How old is your friend now? What's her name? She looks so much like me?"
Luo Guan had already made a decision in his heart and said softly, "My Lady, don't be anxious. I took the risk to find you today because I want to solve the mystery in my heart."
"Forgive me for not telling you the name of my friend for the time being. She is twenty-eight years old. Her appearance and body shape are exactly the same as yours... If I do have relatives outside the palace, do you have any characteristics on her?"
The woman in the blue dress took a deep breath and said, "I have a daughter. If she were still alive, she would be twenty-eight years old this year. I only had time to take a look at her when she was born, and there were two moles under her right breast."
Luo Guan's eyes lit up.
That day, he and Jin Ya were trapped in an ice coffin. They looked over everything they should and shouldn't see, and found that she did have two inconspicuous black moles under her right breast.
In addition, the woman in front of me is almost exactly the same as her... It is basically certain that Jin Ya is her daughter!
But how did the Miss Jin family become the daughter of the woman living in seclusion in the cold palace? There must be a hidden secret.
Luo Guan's thoughts changed quickly and he bowed and said, "Auntie, please rest assured that your daughter is still alive and is now in the imperial capital."
