Second marriage to the regent

"Your Highness."

Tang Zhili waited for Li Kunyi outside the city gate for a long time in the night. After helping Li Kunyi get into the carriage, they headed towards the Qingfeng Temple.

Along the way, Li Kunyi felt uneasy. What was the purpose of these people choosing the Qingfeng Temple? Do you want to frame his mother and concubine?

If he really came for his mother and concubine, then the person behind the scenes is probably related to the other concubines. He wanted to put such a big crime on his mother and concubine, just because he wanted the master of the Sixth Palace. position, and the people who have coveted this position for a long time are those women who have trouble with their mothers and concubines.

Seeing that Li Kunyi was silent all the way, Tang Zhili did not dare to disturb him, for fear that the man would cause trouble when he was angry, which would not end well.

"Are you sure you want to go into Qingfeng Temple?" This is the territory of the royal family. Without the mother's concubine's handwriting or the emperor's order to visit in the middle of the night, these people would never be able to let people in and out of Qingfeng Temple at will.

Tang Zhili promised confidently: "Your Highness, don't worry, as long as I am here, you will be able to get in."

He believed that since this man must have said hello to these people before handing this place over to him, Li Kunyi's worries didn't matter.

Li Kun also had to be foolproof when taking risks. He put everything on Tang Zhili. If he deceived him, he would die with him.

"It's best this way. Remember, don't reveal your secret in a while." Li Kunyi would not show off this time. He dressed himself up as a servant, so that he and Tang Zhili would not arouse suspicion when they entered.

Tang Zhili cares more about this matter than Li Kunyi. If Li Kunyi's identity is exposed, it will not do him any good, but he will be charged with murdering the prince. Then the entire Hou family will suffer together.

An hour later, they arrived at the so-called Qingfeng Temple.

Tang Zhili was about to get off the carriage when Li Kunyi grabbed his sleeve. Tang Zhili turned around in shock and realized that he was now Li Kunyi's master. He waited for Li Kunyi to get off the carriage and then helped him get off the carriage. .

Since no one here has ever met Li Kunyi, he doesn't need to be secretive, but it doesn't make anyone suspicious.

"Welcome to Mr. Tang! Please come inside!"

The man at the door saw Tang Zhili coming and immediately greeted him with a smile.

This man Li Kunyi had met several times when he was young. He was the disciple of the great abbot of Qingfeng Temple. Now that the abbot is old, he helps with many things.

"Yeah." Tang Zhili put on his airs and replied perfunctorily, then went straight to the dungeon.

"Are there any new products recently?" Tang Zhili asked on the way there.

The man turned back and smiled at Tang Zhili: "Sir, the master has entrusted this place to you. Without your order, even if the subordinates have a hundred courage, they would not dare to act rashly."

Because they know all too well the consequences of betraying their master.

Hearing that there had been no new victims in the past few days, Li Kun also felt a little relieved.

"Are there any new goods to send to the master?" Tang Zhili was afraid that many babies had been sent to the master in the past few days.

The man talked about this with a smile on his face, as if he was telling about his great achievements: "You don't know, but just yesterday, four babies were delivered. Only one of them was complete."

The completeness he meant meant that this woman was a full-term baby, otherwise she would be incomplete. Tang Zhili only knew that the master didn't care whether these babies were dead or alive, let alone where they were going.

"Is there such a shortage of goods? If the master gets angry, it will be you and me who will suffer." Tang Zhili tried to continue the rhetoric. The man didn't have any precautions at all, and said bluntly: "The imperial court has been paying close attention to this matter recently and has strengthened its precautions. It is very difficult for the people below to take action. Your Excellency just came today, and I don't understand many things yet. I will talk to you later." Please elaborate slowly."

During the conversation, several people came to the Buddha where the people were kneeling and worshiping. The man walked to the Buddha statue, took off the jade pendant on his body and put it into the mechanism.

The mechanism was activated, the body of the Buddha statue was suddenly opened, and then a brightly lit secret passage appeared in front of everyone.

Tang Zhili and the others thought that this Buddha statue was solid, but they never imagined that there was a mystery hidden in it.

Li Kun was even more unbelievable. Every year, the imperial court allocated a lot of silver to Qingfeng Temple for renovation. Now seeing the scene in front of him, he concluded that all the silver given by the imperial court had been embezzled by these people.

The man led them into the dungeon on his behalf, and there were people guarding him all the way. They all bowed to greet Tang Zhili when they saw him.

Seeing Tang Zhili receiving such good treatment, Li Kun couldn't figure out why he was willing to follow him because he had tipped off the information.

"grown ups!"

Soon, they arrived at the innermost part of the dungeon.

The decoration and spaciousness here are almost as big as a mansion on the ground. There were routes to different cells all around, extending in all directions. Just looking at them gave Tang Zhili a chill down his back.

"Your Excellency, you can stay here tonight, and there will be dedicated people to take care of you. As for things here, it's too late tonight, so I'd better inspect it tomorrow." Seeing that it was late, the man did not plan to take Tang Zhili to visit this dungeon. .

Tang Zhili was hesitant and didn't know how to respond, but Li Kunyi said directly: "Master Marquis loves to be clean, so don't send these things over, so as not to dirty the Marquis' body."

When the man heard Li Kunyi's words, he immediately explained: "Considering your special status, these women are all clean and have never been defiled by others."

As soon as he finished speaking, several soldiers led three young girls who were lightly painted with pink and white and looked a little immature and walked in.

The man introduced: "These three are specially selected by my subordinates for you to ensure that you can serve you comfortably."

After hearing his description, the two of them couldn't help but feel chills on their backs and goosebumps all over their bodies.

Li Kun also glanced at Tang Zhili helplessly. This boy is really beautiful. The people here have specially prepared such a beauty for his comfort.

"The Marquis is here to inspect the work. Don't be greedy for pleasure. Just leave one person to serve the Marquis. Take the others with you." Li Kun also didn't want to see more women being hurt.

"That's alright." After saying that, the man left the youngest girl behind, and the others were taken away.

The girl approached Tang Zhili tremblingly, and then said delicately: "Sir, let me take care of you tonight."

Tang Zhili couldn't push the girl away in front of the man, so he had to hold her in his arms with one hand and smiled at her: "Wait for me on the bed, I will be back soon to take good care of you."

Hearing that Tang Zhili was not in a hurry, the man asked, "Do you have anything else to do, sir?"

Tang Zhili let go of the girl and looked at the man: "Find a way to find me the woman in the painting."

He threw the portrait to the man. The man looked a little unnatural when he saw the painting, but he did not dare to have any objection, so he could only respond: "I will do my best to find this woman for you."

The subordinate came out of the dungeon with the portrait and sighed with a sad look on his face: "Both of them are big shots, and neither of them can afford to offend them. What should we do now?"
