Qiao Bo and Qiao Shisan naturally listened to Qiao Tianjing, and the three of them landed lightly outside the courtyard wall the next moment.
Qiao Jiaojiao listened carefully, and it was quiet inside.
[Since it is a forbidden area, will it be heavily guarded? Don't make a fuss here and ruin things later.]
Thinking of this, Qiao Jiaojiao didn't dare to speak anymore, but just poked Qiao Tianjing's shoulder nervously.
Qiao Tianjing waved his hand and explained in a low voice:
"Ordinary people don't come to the Huguo Temple, but when the high-ranking officials in the capital see the word 'forbidden area', I'm afraid they will run away faster than anyone else."
"This royal place of worship is averse to the presence of blood, so there should not be heavy troops, but there may be novice monks chanting sutras inside."
Qiao Jiaojiao thought for a moment and whispered, "Brother, should Qiao Bo and I change our appearance as well?"
As long as your true identity is not exposed, everything will be fine.
Qiao Tianjing thought about it and nodded, "That couldn't be better."
Qiao Jiaojiao was just about to exchange for the disguise pill, but Qiao Bo and Qiao Shisan had already taken out their big beards and stuck them on tacitly.
At this time, Job said in a low voice: "Miss, I'm sorry."
As Uncle Qiao spoke, he put his big hand on Qiao Jiaojiao's face, traced Qiao Jiaojiao's eyebrows with his thumb, and also glued a mustache on Qiao Jiaojiao.
Qiao Jiaojiao: ???
What is this for?
Qiao Tianjing: Poof——
Although the situation was serious, it was really hard for him not to laugh.
Because of Job's "magic hands", my little sister
so:?(?????)?
It became like this: (●??灬??●)
Hahaha--
Qiao Tianjing didn't dare to look at Qiao Jiaojiao anymore, and simply waved at Qiao Bo.
"Okay, now no one can recognize us. Let's go in!"
The three of them leaped up and clung to the wall to look inside, only to see that the door of the palace was wide open, the lights were on inside, and there was no dust at all.
But after waiting for a long time, everything was quiet, there was no one in sight, and no sound of chanting.
Qiao Tianjing gave a wink, and the three of them landed lightly in the hall.
Qiao Jiaojiao immediately looked up and saw a plaque on the hall that read "Hall of Eternal Life".
Qiao Jiaojiao knew this. The royal family set up the Hall of Longevity in the Huguo Temple, which was a special place to set up longevity tablets for the living royal members in order to pray for increased blessings and fortune.
She looked into the hall and saw several red tablets. On the middle tablet, the name and birthday of Emperor Yong could be seen.
Qiao Jiaojiao took a special look at the last place, and sure enough, the name of the Fourth Prince Shen Yuanling was on it.
Those who are alive are immortal, and those who have passed away are reborn.
So there should be a "Hall of Rebirth" behind it!
Qiao Tianjing obviously understood as well. He led Qiao Bo and the others to tiptoe around the Hall of Longevity, and the Hall of Rebirth indeed came into view!
When several people stepped into the hall, they saw more memorial tablets in front of them, but Qiao Jiaojiao looked again and again and did not find Yu Liu's name.
[I didn't expect that Emperor Yong was so abiding by the rules. He loved Yu Liu so much, but he didn't even fight for a place for her in the Hall of Rebirth.]
【Forget it, if a person is dead, everything you say is meaningless. 】
[We have already wasted quite a bit of time here, so let’s continue investigating the young assassins.]
When Qiao Jiaojiao thought of this, she was about to give Qiao Tianjing a wink, when suddenly a "bang" sound came from behind the Hall of Rebirth!
The hall was originally quiet, but the sudden noise not only scared Qiao Jiaojiao, but also made Qiao Tianjing and the others feel a chill on their backs.
The sound sounded like knocking a wooden fish.
Qiao Tianjing turned around and looked at Qiao Jiaojiao, and the brother and sister nodded at the same time.
Then explore further inside!
Qiao Shisan consciously walked in the front. The four of them lifted the yellow curtain and walked inside. They immediately smelled the rich Buddhist incense.
Is someone burning incense and worshiping?
Qiao Jiaojiao was excited, it seemed there was a secret!
After passing through the back door of the Hall of Rebirth, an exquisite small courtyard comes into view.
Qiao Jiaojiao saw the name of the courtyard at a glance - Go Back!
The door to the courtyard was wide open, and a figure could be vaguely seen busying around in the house.
Qiao Bo made a prompt decision and handed Qiao Jiaojiao to Qiao Tianjing's arms, then walked into the courtyard alone.
Qiao Jiaojiao widened her eyes. She saw Qiao Bo suddenly take a deep breath, and his tall body fell to the ground silently like a civet cat!
Job walked a few steps to the front of the main house, found a corner, pried open the window paper, and looked inside.
I don’t know what he saw, but his body visibly stiffened!
The next moment, he took out a small bamboo tube from his waist and blew air into the hole.
Qiao Jiaojiao knew that it was the sleeping pill that Uncle Qiao had just brought.
After a while, there was a thud in the room, as if someone had fallen.
Qiao Bo was very cautious. He waited for a while, and when he saw that the person on the ground did not move, he waved to Qiao Tianjing.
Qiao Tianjing immediately carried Qiao Jiaojiao forward, while Qiao Bo had already opened the door to cool off.
Qiao Jiaojiao opened her eyes wide and looked inside, and suddenly her expression froze.
She saw a large yellow tablet in the main room, with the inscription - The lotus seat of the late beloved wife Shen Jinshi Liu!
This is exactly Yu Liu’s memorial tablet!
What is even more strange is that there are more than a dozen red strings wrapped around this memorial tablet, and the red strings are entangled, extending and gathering in the same direction.
Qiao Jiaojiao couldn't wait to see where the red lines were connected, but Qiao Tianjing stopped.
"Little sister, wait a little longer, the drugs in the house haven't dissipated yet."
Qiao Jiaojiao nodded, leaned close to Qiao Tianjing's ear and whispered, "Brother, it seems that this tablet was set up by the emperor."
Qiao Tianjing frowned and then nodded.
It becomes clear as soon as you see the two words "beloved wife".
At this time, Qiao Jiaojiao didn't understand and asked, "Is this a custom? Why aren't there red strings around the tablets in the Hall of Rebirth?"
Upon hearing this, Qiao Tianjing shook his head in confusion.
He had little knowledge of folk tales and rumors, so he really couldn't answer this question.
At this time, Qiao Bo suddenly said in a deep voice: "Master, Miss, I may know something."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Jiaojiao immediately looked at Qiao Bo curiously, but Qiao Bo's expression was extremely serious.
"I have followed the general in the tug-of-war with the Northern Kingdom for many years, so I have some understanding of the Northern Kingdom."
"When I attacked Lucheng in the north, I also saw a similar scene before."
"At the time, I was puzzled, so I captured a man and asked him about it."
"That person said that this is a rumor among the northern people. It is said that tying the tablet with red thread can gather the soul of the deceased into the tablet."
"In this way, the dead can be led by the red thread to reincarnate, and the place where the red thread points is the place of reincarnation!"
"Most people who practice this method in the north are parents who lost their children in the war. They hope to use this method to return their children to their wombs, calling it regaining what was lost."
"Master, Miss, if the method before your eyes is the same as what I saw back then, then His Majesty's obsession with Concubine Yu is truly profound."
