Chapter 327: The Secret Room in the Temple
Wen Wan still rushed to Fuyun Temple overnight. Wen En was worried about her being alone, so he sent two guards to follow her.
At this time, Wen Wan did not act pretentiously and took the two guards with her.
Before leaving, Winn only asked her one question.
He said, "Sister, if one day I am no longer the Prince of Mobei, will I be able to stay by your side forever?"
Wen Wan was stunned for a moment, she raised her hand and touched his head, smiling:
"What nonsense are you talking about? Do you think the identity of the Mobei Prince is a piece of cake? If I think it is, it is, and if I think it is not, it is not?"
She sighed softly, "Okay, don't think too much, just focus on healing."
Wen Wan rode into the night. Wen En couldn't help himself. He endured the pain and stood up and walked to the window, his eyes following the direction where her back disappeared.
The guard standing behind him saw this and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Your Highness, actually... the Shen family is weak now, so we don't necessarily have to abide by the agreement we made with them. If we bring Miss Wen back to the royal court, the Shen family can't do anything to us."
In his opinion, it shouldn't be a simple matter for His Highness, who is so decisive and ruthless, to want a woman?
Although the wolf nature of Mobei has been restrained a lot in the past two years under the care of His Highness, deep down, they still believe that if they want something or a woman, they should just grab it.
Whoever has the bigger fist will get the wealth and women.
After hearing what the guard said, Wen En remained silent and did not respond.
It wasn't until the wind outside the window grew stronger that I heard him say, "She's different."
Is she different?
The guard didn't quite understand what this meant, but since His Highness clearly had no intention of explaining, he didn't dare ask any further.

The next afternoon, Wen Wan finally arrived at Fuyun Temple exhausted.
At this time, the temple was completely silent.
There were fallen leaves scattered on the steps in front of the gate, and a broom stained with dew was lying across the side, as if the person who was sweeping the fallen leaves had left in a hurry and didn't have time to pick up the broom.
Wen Wan walked up the stairs, pushed open the heavy door of the temple, and was greeted by a foul stench.
When the two guards smelled the odor, they immediately stepped forward and protected Wen Wan behind them.
"It's the stench of a corpse," the guard said in a deep voice. "With a stench this strong, the person must have been dead for some time."
Another guard went deeper to investigate and returned a short while later, saying, "There are no survivors in the temple. Six monks' bodies are found by the dry well in the backyard, including the body of a young novice, no more than five or six years old."
Even the five or six-year-old little monk was not spared. Those people were determined to kill everyone in Fuyun Temple.
Wen Wan had a cold face and walked towards the inner courtyard.
"Miss Wen, there are only rotten dead bodies in there..." The guard tried to persuade her with difficulty.
Wen Wan kept walking without even turning her head. "What's so scary about the dead? The living are the scary ones!"
When she arrived at the backyard, she saw the corpse beside the dry well. It was just as the guards had said, and it was already rotten beyond recognition.
According to what Liu Saner said before his death, the body of King Anding was found in this dry well.
She walked to the dry well and stuck her head in to look.
The dry well was pitch black and you couldn't see the bottom at all.
She asked the guard, "Do you have any ropes with you? I want to go down and take a look."
The two guards looked at each other, their eyes filled with shock.
This woman who made their highness look at her differently was indeed very different. Anyone who saw this dark dry well would be scared, but she was even bolder than them and wanted to go down to check it out.
"Yes." One of them took out a rope.
Wen Wan took it and looked at it. It turned out to be the dragon-binding rope she had seen when she was in danger in the cave last time.
Wen Wan pursed her lips in envy, "Are all the guards of the Mobei Royal Court so wealthy?"
How could such a good thing as the Dragon Binding Rope be so popular on the streets?
The guard smiled innocently, "The royal court may not be wealthy, but Your Highness is different. The king values Your Highness, and all the good things in the royal court are sent to Your Highness."
After that, the guard continued, "If you say you like it, His Highness will definitely give you all the dragon binding ropes."
Wen Wanxin believes this.
But first of all, she didn't have the nerve to ask for it, because she owed Enen a lot and couldn't repay him anymore.
Secondly, after this separation, we don’t know when we will meet again.
While they were talking, Wen Wan had already tied the rope and was slowly descending with a fire starter in hand.
After a while, she landed on the ground and began to check.
Perhaps it rained a few days ago, and there was still some undried mud in the dry well. The mud was covered with footprints, and it was obvious that someone had come to explore it not long ago.
According to Liu Saner's description, Prince Anding fell into a trap in a side hall, but his body was found in a dry well.
Either the body was thrown here after being killed, or there is a secret passage connecting the side hall itself and this dry well.
Wen Wan thought so and began to feel the surrounding stone walls. Suddenly, she touched a different stone brick.
She pressed hard, and a rumbling sound came from the stone wall.
A two-foot-long and wide secret passage appeared in front of her. She looked up and said a few words to the guards, then crawled forward using her hands and feet.
*
At the end of the passage, traces of rummaging through the cabinets and drawers were visible everywhere in the secret room, and the things inside had long been emptied.
"Are you late?"
Wenwan sighed weakly, unable to suppress her disappointment.
However, since she was already there, she reluctantly explored the secret room.
She had already given up hope of finding anything useful, but as the saying goes, an unexpected outcome can lead to something great.
In the crack in the corner of the secret room, she actually found something.
Originally, she didn't notice the corner of the wall. It was because the fire starter in her hand burned to the end and suddenly went out, and the rice-grain-sized fluorescence in the corner of the wall was slightly visible.
She took out a dagger, dug into the soil, and dug out a sachet.
The sachet seemed to have been buried in a hurry, and the opening was not even sealed completely. When it was opened, a lot of dirt got into it.
And on the upper right corner of this sachet is the seal of Anding Palace!
Wen Wan's heart skipped a beat and her eyes couldn't help but turn red.
The King of Anding learned how to grind the precious night-shining pearl into powder when he saw her do so.
But he didn't expect that fluorescent powder would become his last resort to convey information.
Wen Wan guessed that Prince Anding fell into a trap from the side hall at that time. With his ability, he should not have died immediately in the trap, but found this secret room along the underground passage.
But his situation at that time must have been at the end of his strength, so he made a final plan and hid the sachet.
Wen Wan didn't dare to think about it. If she hadn't come here worried about Shen Yu, or if she hadn't discovered this secret room...
Then, will King Anding's final message also disappear without a trace as the sachet rots in the soil?
Wen Wan took out the contents of the sachet tremblingly.
It was a crumpled piece of parchment, the size of a palm, and looked like a map. In the middle of the map, a location was circled in cinnabar.
