Luoyang Palace is located on the northernmost side of the palace, separated from the main palace and the inner palace by the Imperial Garden. It is a residence specially used to entertain royal guests. Being able to stay in Luoyang Palace for even one night is regarded by many as a high honor.
.
Under the guidance of the palace eunuch carrying a lantern, Qin Yun walked in the winding maze-like corridor for nearly half an hour before finally arriving at Luoyang Palace.
Although it is only a small palace in a remote location, the decorations of Luoyang Palace are still extremely luxurious. The powerful heritage of the Thousand-Year Empire is unmatched by any wealthy family.
The room he was staying in had already been tidied up, and incense was lit in the living room. The blubber lamp hanging on the wall emitted a bright light, illuminating the room while also giving people an indescribable feeling of warmth.
.
When Qin Yun entered the room, two young palace maids Yingying prostrated themselves on the ground and said softly: "My slave Yue Xin, Yue Lan pays homage to your lord, please give me your orders!"
Qin Yun was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "Get up, no need to be polite."
These two palace maids were no more than fifteen or sixteen years old. They both had extremely beautiful looks. It was rare that they looked exactly the same.
The eunuch standing next to him laughed in a high-pitched voice: "Master Qin, the two slaves Yue Lan and Yue Xin were originally close to Concubine Mei. They grew up with her in Concubine Mei's family. Both sisters are sixteen.
At the age of 18, they are quite elegant in knowing books and being polite, so the empress gives them to the adults to serve at your side. This is a great kindness!"
That Concubine Mei unexpectedly gave herself a maid, and she also gave her a pair of twin sisters who were as beautiful as flowers!
Qin Yun couldn't help being shocked.
But he was not an ordinary person after all. He was shocked in his heart but remained calm on the surface. He nodded and said, "I would also like to ask Eunuch Lin to express my gratitude to Concubine Mei on my behalf. Qin Yuncheng is very grateful!"
It's not that Qin Yun really wants these two maids, but he knows very well that if he refuses Concubine Mei's reward, it will be tantamount to refuting the latter's face. Offending her for no reason is not the behavior of a wise man.
So he simply accepted it, and there were many ways to arrange the two of them in the future.
While talking to the eunuch, Qin Yun quietly stuffed a piece of Fire Spirit Jade into it.
There are a lot of eunuchs in the palace. Although these incomplete men do not have direct power, they are surrounded by the emperor's concubines, princes and princesses every day. Many eunuchs are deeply trusted and their words are very weighty, and outsiders don't care.
Dare to offend easily, and even deliberately try to make friends with them.
Qin Yun didn't need to make friends with a eunuch, but there was no need to offend him.
The Eunuch Lin who brought him to Luoyang Palace was obviously a member of Concubine Mei. It was appropriate to express his gratitude. A mere piece of Fire Spirit Jade was nothing to Qin Yun now.
Eunuch Lin accepted the Fire Ling Jade with a smile and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Mr. Qin, I will definitely bring the message to you."
He turned to Yue Lan and Yue Xin and said: "You two sisters will serve Master Qin well from now on. Master Qin is young and promising, and it is your blessing to follow him. It is also a gift from the empress. Don't forget it!"
"
Yue Lan and Yue Xin lowered their heads and said in unison: "I understand!"
Eunuch Lin nodded with satisfaction, bowed slightly and saluted Qin Yun and said, "Then I'll take my leave first!"
Qin Yun cupped his fists and returned the greeting: "Eunuch, please go slowly, Qin Yun won't send you off!"
After Eunuch Lin left, Qin Yun said to the two girls with a smile: "You don't have to kneel anymore, get up!"
The two girls stood up from the ground, and one of them patted her chest with lingering fear. She looked frightened, which was quite cute.
Qin Yun couldn't help laughing and said: "What? Are you afraid of Eunuch Lin?"
The girl nodded immediately. But she immediately realized something was wrong and quickly shook her head, her pretty face flushed with anxiety.
Qin Yun asked with a smile: "Are you Yue Xin or Yue Lan? Are you an elder sister or a younger sister?"
The girl saw that Qin Yun spoke kindly, and the fear in her heart was much lessened, and she boldly said: "This slave is my sister Yue Xin, and she is my sister Yue Lan."
Although they had just met, Qin Yun could tell that this younger sister was much more lively in nature. The younger sister was quiet and shy. Although they looked exactly the same, if you looked carefully, you could tell them apart.
Qin Yun thought for a while and said: "Mei Fei gave you to me, but I want to go back to Tiancheng Sword Sect to continue learning skills. If you are willing, I can send you back to your home and transform into
Zi you body."
After hearing his words, the two sisters looked at each other, their pretty eyes turned red and they shed tears.
Qin Yun was immediately frightened. To be honest, he would rather face the sword and shadow of a powerful enemy than see the girl's tears. He couldn't help but said: "Don't you want it?"
Yue Xin choked and said: "Sir, don't you want us anymore? We don't have our own home..."
It turns out that these two sisters were sold to Concubine Mei's home when they were young, so they had no idea who their parents were or where their home was. After all, Concubine Mei's natal family was the real home.
It was impossible for Qin Yun to send them back again, so it would be better to reject them directly just now.
After learning about the life experiences of the two sisters, Qin Yun felt a little more pity in his heart and said: "Then are you willing to go to Tiancheng Sword Sect with me? My master and senior sister are very good people, and they will never treat you badly!
"
Anyway, Hancui Pavilion is very big, so hosting two more maids is not a problem at all.
Sister Yue Lan lowered her head and said: "We are your lord's people now, and we will obey your lord's arrangements."
In fact, for the two sisters, they are extremely lucky to be able to follow Qin Yun and leave the palace. Otherwise, in this deep palace, their best fate is to slowly die of old age with Concubine Mei. If Concubine Mei suddenly loses power, they will
They will also be implicated.
That's why Eunuch Lin said that it was Concubine Mei's grace to give them to Qin Yun.
Yue Xin wiped away the tears on her face, walked up to her with a pretty face and said, "Sir, it's late at night, the hot water in the bath is ready, I'll help you change your clothes and take a bath!"
While talking, she started to untie Qin Yun's clothes.
Qin Yun said quickly: "No, you go to rest early and I can take a bath myself!"
Yue Xin put down her hands and took a half step back, her mouth narrowed, and the tears she had just put away fell down like broken pearls.
Qin Yun was really convinced by her, and said with a helpless smile: "Okay, just help me change my clothes. I'm really not used to being served by others when I take a bath. Please don't call me "adult" in the future."
Yue Xin immediately recovered her smile. She obviously saw that Qin Yun was a very talkative person. She immediately came forward to help untie Qin Yun's belt and chirped, "Sir, oh no, Young Master, I know you are a
Good people, but we sisters are used to serving others. If you don’t let us do anything, we will be very sad..."
Qin Yun really couldn't help but laugh at her, but he really couldn't bear to punish her. In his feeling, Yue Xin was like his own sister. Although she was a little naughty, she was truly innocent.
Luoyang Palace has a special bathing pool for bathing. The hot water is drawn from the underground hot spring. The bathing pool is large enough to accommodate dozens of people for bathing. Dozens of giant whale oil candles are lit around it, making it look extremely majestic.
Under the service of the two girls, Qin Yun took off his long shirt and pants, leaving only his tight-fitting shorts, immersed himself in the hot water sprinkled with flower petals, and took a rather fragrant bath.
Sisters Yuexin and Yuelan wanted to go into the pool and help Qin Yun wash their hands several times, but he always refused.
It's not that Qin Yun pretends to be a gentleman, but he is afraid that he will not be able to withstand the temptation. Once he indulges in female sex, it will be very detrimental to his martial arts practice and will weaken his will.
After all, he is not a rough man who doesn't understand the style.
After bathing, the two sisters put on new robes for Qin Yun and led him to the bedroom.
The bedrooms in the palace were naturally extremely luxurious. Although they could only stay for one night, it did not prevent Qin Yun from appreciating and enjoying this rare luxury. He ignored Yue Xin's hint and opened the window.
Outside the window is a flower garden. In the dark night, the fragrance is floating, and the fireflies are dancing in the wind. It is peaceful and beautiful.
In the distance are towering palace walls and numerous buildings, but not much light can be seen. The palaces and pavilions are submerged in the darkness, like the shadows of dormant giant beasts, revealing a bit of gloom.
Qin Yun was a little curious and couldn't help but ask: "Yue Xin, do you know where that place is?"
On the way to Luoyang Palace, he saw that other palaces were brightly lit, but none were so dark.
Yue Xin looked over, her face changed slightly, and she whispered: "Sir, that's the forbidden palace!"
Forbidden Palace!
Qin Yun never expected that the Forbidden Palace was there, nor did he expect that he would live next to the Forbidden Palace!
He couldn't help but clenched his fists.
Now that he understands his life experience, Qin Yun's biggest wish is to find his mother and save her from prison, and now that prison is right in front of him!
The palace wall not far away is not high, so it is not a problem to climb over it with his Qinggong. The opportunity is so rare and it is God's arrangement. If he misses it this time, he may miss it forever.
Countless thoughts were running through his mind, and the impulse in his heart was simply uncontrollable. He stood in front of the window in a daze.
However, Yue Xin did not notice anything strange about Qin Yun, and continued: "I heard that there are many disgraced concubines and maids who have made mistakes living there. Some people die there without anyone knowing, and there are also crazy people...
."
"Yue Xin!" Sister Yue Lan pulled her sleeves to signal her not to talk nonsense.
Yuexin stuck out her tongue and quickly covered her mouth.
Qin Yun took a long breath, his eyes regained his composure, and said calmly: "You guys go to rest first, I am going to practice, remember you must not come in without my instructions!"
