Chapter 427 Imprisonment
Hearing this, Jiang Yue's face suddenly darkened, and she lowered her eyes in a panic, avoiding Song Qinghuan's scrutinizing gaze.

After a long while, I finally settled down, raised my head and smiled coquettishly at Song Qinghuan, "Madam will know the specifics when she sees the elders tomorrow, and take a good rest today."

As she said that, without waiting for Song Qinghuan to reply, she hurriedly saluted, "Then... I will take my leave first."

Song Qinghuan suppressed the thoughts in his heart, nodded slightly, "Okay, Yueniang, go slowly."

Watching Jiang Yue leave in a hurry, Song Qinghuan looked back at Shen Chuhan, "Ashu, go in."

A group of people entered Qingya Xiaozhu.

The yard is not big, but it is quiet and elegant. There are five or six rooms, which is more than enough to accommodate Song Qinghuan and his party.

After the room was allocated, Song Qinghuan and Shen Chuhan entered the room together, and called Shen Xing to come in and change her wet clothes first, but just now Shen Chuhan had already dried her inside on the way, so it wasn't too uncomfortable.

Not long after, Xuanying and Liuyue also came with their luggage, and after they settled down, Song Qinghuan asked them to go back to their rooms to rest for a while.

She sat down at the table before she had time to look around the room.

The furnishings in the room are the same as the whole yard, and the furniture is very low-key and exquisite.Red sandalwood tables and chairs, mahogany beds and wardrobes, on the table are a set of thin and transparent porcelain, the whole body is white, and there are a lot of fairy grass patterns on it.The crocodile silk curtains on the couch were embroidered with fairy grass patterns of the same color, elegant and unique.

Shen Chuhan followed and sat down next to Song Qinghuan, with a gentle tone, no longer the indifference before others, "How is Ah Wan?"

Song Qinghuan nodded, "It's nothing serious, don't worry."

"I'll let Liuyue decoct the anti-fetal medicine for you later." Shen Chuhan frowned, still worried.

To reassure him, Song Qinghuan didn't refuse, she nodded in agreement, but there was a look of worry in her eyes.

Shen Chuhan's eyes fell on her eyebrows, and he said in a low voice, "Ah Wan is worried about Concubine Mother?"

Song Qinghuan said softly, "You saw Yueniang's attitude just now, and there is clearly something unspeakable hidden. If the mother and concubine are fine, why would everyone from elders to ordinary people avoid talking about it?"

Speaking of this, she suddenly thought of something, her face darkened, and she suddenly raised her head to look at Shen Chuhan, "Ashu, my mother and concubine... nothing will happen, right?"

In the past, perhaps because she didn't dare to think about it subconsciously, she always had illusions in her heart, thinking that the status of mother and concubine was special, even if she violated the clan rules, her life would not be in danger.But now that he came to this Yuheng Island, the uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense.

Shen Chuhan looked at Song Qinghuan's trembling eyelashes, his thin lips were pursed into a straight line, and he didn't know how to speak.

He had actually thought about this possibility a long time ago, but he didn't want Song Qinghuan to worry, so he kept avoiding it. Now when she asked her so directly, he couldn't help but sigh.

"Ashu, I think...the mother concubine should still be alive. Otherwise, if she dies, the Fulan tribe will definitely establish a new saint, so when you ask, they won't hesitate, Instead, I will tell you straightforwardly." After pondering for a moment, Shen Chuhan opened his mouth and analyzed slowly.

What he said made some sense. After Song Qinghuan listened, she calmed down a bit, frowned, and said in a deep voice, "No, I must find out the whereabouts of my concubine mother as soon as possible."

She got up, took out the map of Yuheng Island that she got by accident in Huagang Village from her luggage, and slowly spread it out on the table.

They are now located in the southeast corner of Yuheng Island, where the Fulan people live together.The farther you go to the northwest, the higher the terrain, and there are vast and boundless nether forests, so it becomes less populated.

However, the map she got was the whole picture of Yuheng Island, with only a few strokes of the city-state in the southeast corner, and there were no more detailed instructions on the map.

After thinking about it, I couldn't feel relieved, "I'll go to Yun Ge to ask."

Seeing her anxious face, Shen Chuhan knew that it would be useless for him to persuade her at this time, so he shook her hand and silently agreed.

Song Qinghuan walked to the door, opened the door, and called to the room next to her.

Yun Ge quickly responded, "Niang Niang, are you looking for me?"

Remembering that Yun Ge lived alone, Song Qinghuan talked to Shen Chuhan, walked out the door and walked in front of her, said softly, "Go in and talk."

Yun Ge nodded, invited Song Qinghuan in, and sat down in the room.

"Is there anything you want to tell me?" Seeing that Song Qinghuan's face was pale, Yun Ge asked cautiously.

Song Qing breathed a sigh of relief, "Yun Ge, is it okay to go back to Yuheng Island?"

Yun Ge lowered his head, with a look of desolation in his eyes, "Your Majesty may not know that Yuheng Island is no longer a home for me."

Hearing that there was something in her words, Song Qinghuan raised his brows, "Did something happen back then?"

When Ji Yu first met Yun Ge, she said that she was exiled to the Nether Forest because of stealing the fairy grass.Among them, when there is a story.

Yun Ge raised his head and saw Song Qinghuan's concerned eyes, his heart warmed up, his eyes felt sore, he took a deep breath and said slowly, "Your Majesty probably doesn't know that the maid's real name is not Yun Ge."

"Your name is not Yun Ge?" Song Qinghuan was startled, suddenly remembered something, and his face was filled with surprise, "Yes, you are from the Fulan tribe, and your surname should be one of the eight ancient surnames."

"Yes, so the maidservant's real name is Yuge. The surname is Yu, and the name is Song."

Song Qinghuan raised his eyebrows in surprise, "You have the same surname as my mother and concubine?"

Yun Ge nodded, "But the slaves are not related to the Holy Maiden. There are many people in the Yuheng clan, but there are only eight surnames, so there are often cases of the same surname but different clans."

Song Qinghuan let out a thoughtful "hmm", lowered her eyes, and her long eyelashes cast a fan-shaped shadow on her porcelain-white skin, "Then... why did you steal the fairy grass that day?"

Speaking of this, tears seemed to glisten in Yuge's eyes, she took a deep breath, "Your Majesty should know the usage of the fairy grass."

"According to ancient books, fairy grass has the effect of washing the marrow, cutting hair and rejuvenating the body. If a martial arts practitioner takes it, it can greatly increase one's internal strength."

"Yes." Yuge turned her eyes quietly, looking out of the window, "The fairy grass grows on Futu Mountain, the mountain behind the temple, and it is rare in a hundred years. Every time it grows, the saint will pick it off in person. Hidden under the dome of the temple.

She paused, with a look of pity in her eyes, "My maidservant's parents died when I was young, and only one elder sister guarded me and grew up. The maidservant and my sister have a very close relationship. But later, the maidservant's elder sister fell seriously ill, and medicine and stones failed. My sister’s method is to use spiritual power to heal.”

"But... the slave girl was young at that time, her spiritual power was only mediocre, and she couldn't save her sister at all. When she was desperate, she thought of the fairy grass hidden in the temple."

Hearing this, Song Qinghuan couldn't help feeling a little confused.

She knows that spiritual power can save people and heal injuries. Otherwise, there would not be rumors in the Yunqing Continent that the saints of the Fulan tribe have the effect of curing the dead and medicine for bones. However, what does this have to do with the fairy grass?

Seeing Song Qinghuan's confusion, Yuge explained, "Your Majesty does not know that the fairy grass can enhance internal strength for non-Fulan people, but in fact its main function is to enhance the spiritual power of the tribe. Take it It can greatly increase the spiritual power in the body."

"That's why you want to hide it in the temple?"

"Yes." Yu Ge said, "Fairy Spirit Grass is very rare, rare in a hundred years, so it has always been a treasure in the clan, and it is impossible for ordinary clansmen to come into contact with it. Even saintesses and elders are not qualified to use it under normal circumstances. .”

"Then... what is the use of keeping this fairy grass?"

"This is a rule left by our ancestors. If one day the Fulan tribe and Yuheng Island encounter a great crisis, the saint and the elders will take the fairy grass to strengthen their spiritual power to protect the tribe and our homeland. Because they don't know When will this crisis come, so the fairy grass must not be tampered with, lest there will be no reserve of fairy grass when it is used."

After hearing her explanation, Song Qinghuan finally understood.

After all, Yuheng Island and the Fulan people have lived away from the world for generations. The situation on the Yunqing Continent has changed rapidly, but Yuheng Island has always stood in the innocent inner sea, isolated from the world, and has not changed for thousands of years.

Therefore, it is not surprising that the ancestors of the Fulan tribe had such a sense of crisis.But in Song Qinghuan's view, if the people on Yunqing Continent really discovered the existence of Yuheng Island, and if they really wanted to occupy it, it would probably be impossible to resist it with just one or two celestial spirit grasses to enhance their spiritual power.

But right now, this is obviously not something she should consider.

The Fulan clan is a clan system, the more Song Qinghuan understands, the more she can understand that for the Fulan clan, clan rules and ancestral precepts are absolutely inviolable.Even though there is no coercive means to force them to act like this except for the daily supervision of the five elders, they still strictly abide by all the rules.

"Since the fairy grass is so precious, why do you have to take this risk? Couldn't...can you ask someone with strong spiritual power to help you?" Song Qinghuan frowned puzzled.

"Your Majesty does not know that the reason why the Fulan people have spiritual power is because we have spiritual roots in our bodies that no one else has. It is because of the spiritual roots that we can continuously absorb spiritual power from the surrounding elements. However, Using spiritual power to save people is another matter."

"The spiritual power used to save people comes from the original spiritual power stored in the spiritual pool around the spiritual root in the body. The spiritual power in the spiritual pool is a person's innate, and it is also the basis for maintaining the spiritual root. The sicker the patient Heavy, the greater the consumption of the spiritual power of the rescuer, and all the spiritual power comes from the spiritual pool, only the source of spiritual power in the spiritual pool can have the effect of curing diseases and prolonging life. If the source of spiritual power is exhausted, the body will The spiritual root will wither, and it will be impossible to have spiritual power in the future."

Speaking of this, she pursed her lips helplessly, "Spiritual power is the foundation for the survival of the Fulan people. If it wasn't for the blood of close relatives, who would be willing to sacrifice their original spiritual power for no reason? The original spiritual power of the servant at that time was obviously not enough to save Sister, that's why I took the risk out of desperation."

"The temple is a forbidden place in the clan. Except for the elders and saintesses, no one can set foot there on weekdays, and the elders take turns to be on duty every day. The day the servants went, it was the elder Ji who was on duty. I wanted to take advantage of the dark night and wind Gao Ji sneaked into the temple secretly, not wanting to expose himself easily due to the many traps in the temple."

She sighed, and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty will know what happened later."

After Yan Ge explained so much in one breath, Song Qinghuan finally figured out the ins and outs of how Yan Ge was expelled from the Nether Forest back then.Moreover, he has a deeper understanding of the mysterious power of spiritual power.

Yuge sniffed, suppressing the soreness in her eyes, "Sister Numai is very ill, after hearing that Numaid was discovered for stealing fairy grass, she was shocked and terrified, and died soon, Numai even I didn't have time to see her for the last time. Now that my sister is long gone, Yuheng Island has no special meaning to me."

Song Qing sighed, and said in a warm voice, "The deceased is gone, so don't be too sad. Only when you live happily can your sister's spirit in heaven be comforted."

Yange forced a smile on Song Qinghuan, "Your Majesty is right."

Song Qinghuan personally poured her a cup of tea and handed it over, "Drink some water to moisturize your throat."

Yu Ge thanked him and took a sip.

After Yan Ge put down the teacup, Song Qinghuan continued, "Yu Ge, you heard what I asked Jiang Yue at the door just now, didn't you?"

Song Qinghuan took a deep breath and stared at Yuge, "Yuge, what do you think? Do you think my mother and concubine are still alive?"

Hearing Song Qinghuan's question so bluntly, Yu Ge was a little surprised, and quickly calmed down, thinking for a while and said, "Madam, according to slaves and servants, the madam should still be alive. If the madam... there will be another saint in the clan." , Jiang Yue shouldn't have such a faltering expression."

What she said coincided with what Shen Chuhan said.

Hearing this, Song Qinghuan calmed down for the time being, his eyes darkened, and he thought for a while, "Yuge, do you know where this elegant small building is?"

Yu Ge shook her head, "This place is close to the holy temple, where the spiritually powerful people of the family live. The slaves did not come here when they lived on Yuheng Island. But guess which family it should belong to other courtyard."

"Yuge, where do you think the concubine mother is most likely to be imprisoned if she is imprisoned by the clan?"
