1900 Worship Buddha, never get out
It wasn't that Feng Qingchen was too ignorant, it was just that this map was too abstract. Not to mention Feng Qingchen, even the Ninth Prince, who was used to seeing simple maps, couldn't figure out where this map was pointing to.
"This map seems to only show the route around the treasure, rather than allowing us to find the treasure based on the map." The Ninth Prince looked at it carefully for a while, and silently turned the map in Feng Qingchen's hand upside down.
Oh no... Feng Qingchen is looking at the picture in reverse.
Uh... Feng Qingchen glanced at the Ninth Uncle silently: Could you please not be so direct?
This prince has been very reserved. The Ninth Prince patted Feng Qingchen on the head and said, "It doesn't matter if you are stupid. This prince doesn't mind."
"Should I say thank you?" The Ninth Prince's words were really cold.
"I don't mind." The Ninth Uncle took it for granted, ignoring Feng Qingchen's embarrassment, and pointed to the upright map and said, "This place looks very familiar."
Judging from the picture, the treasure of the previous dynasty is at the foot of a mountain. There is nothing special about this mountain, but the way into the mountain is a bit troublesome.
"Do you know which mountain it is?" Feng Qingchen looked up at the Ninth Uncle.
She couldn't understand it at all, so she could only put her hope on the Ninth Uncle. If the Ninth Uncle couldn't understand it either, they could only take out the map of Kyushu and check it slowly.
The Ninth Prince lowered his head and stared at the map, rubbing his thumb under his chin, and shook his head slowly: "I should have seen it before, but I just can't remember it at the moment."
"As long as we've seen it, it's good. We can slowly compare it with the map and we'll always find it." The fact that the Ninth Prince has seen it means that this place exists, and they will always be able to find it using the most stupid method.
"Yes." The Ninth Prince nodded calmly, his eyes never leaving the map. A quarter of an hour later, the Ninth Prince said, "Bring the brazier."
"You want to burn it?" You remembered all these lines? Your memory must be that good.
"There is no more map of Kyushu in this world." He would never let the map fall into the hands of others. Regardless of whether Madam Min knew about the map or not, the Ninth Prince decided to keep it for himself.
Except for Feng Qingchen, he has never liked sharing the fruits of victory with anyone.
"Okay." Feng Qingchen also understood that this was the best and safest way to do it. He took the copper basin beside him, wiped off the water, threw the nine maps in, and poured the oil in the candlestick on the maps.
Feng Qingchen threw a fire starter, and with a bang, the Kyushu map that people had fought over so hard was instantly turned into ashes.
"Gone." In this world, except for the Ninth Prince, no one else can find the treasure of the previous dynasty, not even Feng Qingchen, because she can't remember the map at all.
"It's all right here." The Ninth Prince pointed to his head, his deep eyes sparkling. Feng Qingchen smiled knowingly and gave the Ninth Prince a thumbs up.
The confident Ninth Prince is so charming that he can kill people.
"By the way, where did you get these two maps? Why was there no news about them before?" After the excitement, Feng Qingchen remembered this.
It was impossible that there would be no movement when two maps appeared at the same time, but she didn't receive any news at all.
"Madam Min." Even after getting two maps from Madam Min, the Ninth Prince still did not call her mother. The rift between them was not so easy to eliminate.
"Your mother?" Feng Qingchen was quite surprised by this answer.
"How could your mother have the map of Kyushu? Didn't she say before that she had lost her memory and had been taken care of by the late emperor's people? How could she still have the map of Kyushu? Moreover, the map of Kyushu is a treasure of the previous dynasty. How could the people of Liancheng not know about this when they sent your mother here?" Even if she had the map, it should have fallen into the hands of the late emperor or been taken away by Liancheng.
The Ninth Prince's mother couldn't even protect herself, so how could she protect something so important?
"A lucky charm passed down from generation to generation." The more detailed the explanation, the more problems there would be. The Ninth Prince could not tell Feng Qingchen that his mother was a princess of the previous dynasty.
Feng Qingchen had already become suspicious of Lan Jiuqing's death. If Feng Jin hadn't gotten into trouble, Feng Qingchen would most likely have been able to find out his relationship with Lan Jiuqing at that time.
If Feng Qingchen knew his mother's identity, he would definitely know that he was Lan Jiuqing, which was definitely not something the Ninth Prince would like to see.
He spent a lot of effort to kill Lan Jiuqing. The Ninth Prince did not want this identity to bring him any more trouble, so he had to cut off all possibilities in advance.
"That is to say, your mother doesn't know that there is a map inside the amulet." Feng Qingchen looked up at the Ninth Uncle, and caught the flash of deepness in the Ninth Uncle's eyes. Feng Qingchen was stunned for a moment: "What happened?"
"It's okay." The Ninth Prince suppressed his anxiety and stretched out his hand to pull Feng Qingchen into his arms: "Qingchen, Madam Min is the Empress Shengmin who was conferred by my father posthumously. Once her identity is confirmed, I cannot deprive her of it. The imperial edict to confer her the title of Grand Empress Dowager will be issued soon."
"I... understand." Feng Qingchen's voice was a little bitter.
Madam Min was able to enter the palace so quickly because she stepped on her. She had never argued with Madam Min, but in the eyes of outsiders, she was the loser.
The Ninth Prince naturally understood what Feng Qingchen was thinking, and he held her tighter with more strength: "I will calm down the things outside, and it won't affect you."
It has already affected.
Her reputation was bad enough, and now it's even worse. Once she was given the title of Empress Dowager, her reputation became completely ruined.
"I don't care." Feng Qingchen buried her face in the Ninth Prince's arms. She didn't care what others said, but she cared about what the Ninth Prince thought.
But she was unwilling to explain. She clearly did nothing, so why should she explain? Even if she explained, it would still be her fault.
"After the imperial edict comes down, she will go to the temple to worship Buddha and copy scriptures to accumulate blessings for the late emperor. She will not appear in public." The Ninth Prince was afraid that Feng Qingchen would be unhappy, so he told this matter.
If Madam Min does not appear, the negative influence she brought back will slowly disappear with the passage of time. When Feng Qingchen's identity is exposed in the future, everything in the past will not be a problem anymore.
"Going to the temple to worship Buddha? Is it your idea, or Madam Min's suggestion?" Feng Qingchen was very surprised. She didn't think that the Ninth Prince would do this.
This would be too troublesome. What the Ninth Prince would do is to keep his mother in the harem and assign someone to guard her.
Going to the temple to chant sutras and accumulate merit for the late emperor is a matter of fame and fortune. In the future, the prestige and influence of Madam Min, or the Grand Empress Dowager Shengmin, will rise to a higher level, and by then, even the Ninth Prince may have to avoid her.
"It was her own suggestion. I will not give her the chance to come out of the temple again." The Ninth Prince knew what Feng Qingchen was worried about. What Feng Qingchen was thinking was exactly what she was thinking. Since he knew it in advance, he would definitely take precautions in advance.
A temple is not a place where Madam Min can enter or leave as she pleases. He will let her enter and she will never be able to leave. Of course, as long as Madam Min is sincere in her worship, he will give her the best treatment...
