Chapter 198 The Empress and the Temple

Emperor Qing frowned slightly, looking at Su Wenyi's slightly tired face and somewhat dusty appearance.

Emperor Qing's tone was filled with pity: "Lord Su, you are so exhausted after returning this time. I can't bear to see you like this."

Afterwards, Emperor Qing began to praise Su Wenyi: "My dear Su, you have made great contributions this time. You are both wise and brave, and you have won glory for our Qing Kingdom.

Your talent and courage are a blessing to our country.

I am proud to have a subject like you."

Su Wenyi stood in front of Emperor Qing, listening to his praise, but he did not dare to feel the slightest bit of pride or complacency in his heart.

He knew very well that Emperor Qing's mind was unpredictable and he had to remain vigilant at all times in the palace.

Suddenly, Emperor Qing changed the subject, and his originally gentle tone became more serious and curious.

Emperor Qing asked, "Lord Su, when you went north this time, you must have heard about the Northern Qi Empress.

What kind of person is this Northern Qi Empress?
He had been silent for so many years, but now he suddenly took control of the entire country and directly announced his identity. It's really incredible!
It is unbelievable that this woman could become an emperor."

Emperor Qing stared at Su Wenyi, as if expecting a detailed and accurate answer.

The atmosphere in the palace suddenly became tense, and the wind seemed to stop at this moment.

Su Wenyi was slightly startled, thinking quickly in his mind how to respond to Emperor Qing's question.

He knew that Emperor Qing's attention to the Empress of Northern Qi was no accident, and there must be deeper political considerations behind it.

The fact that a woman became an emperor might have touched the sore spot of Emperor Qing, the sixth oldest.

After all, the reason why Ye Qingmei was killed by the other party was because Ye Qingmei's existence affected the power of Emperor Qing.

Now, someone has become the empress. In this case, if there is another person like Ye Qingmei, he will probably lose his position.

After a moment, Su Wenyi slowly spoke: "Your Majesty, as far as I know, the Queen of Northern Qi is extremely intelligent, courageous and resolute.

She implemented a series of reforms in Northern Qi, which enhanced the national strength of Northern Qi.

Especially after all these years of hard work and perseverance, he has been hiding his identity.

This person is meticulous and skillful, and should not be underestimated."

The wind blew gently, and Emperor Qing narrowed his eyes slightly, falling into deep thought.

Su Wenyi's answer gave him a clearer understanding of the Queen of Northern Qi, and also made him feel the potential threat from Northern Qi.

Emperor Qing looked at Su Wenyi with burning eyes and asked, "Lord Su, then tell me, how should I deal with this Northern Qi empress? And how should I deal with Northern Qi?"

Su Wenyi smiled slightly and replied calmly: "Your Majesty, I don't know."

Emperor Qing frowned slightly, obviously not satisfied with Su Wenyi's answer. But he also knew that Su Wenyi was not someone who could be easily controlled.

The sunlight sprinkled on the floor of the palace, illuminating the figures of Emperor Qing and Su Wenyi.

The two men each had their own thoughts and remained silent, and the atmosphere in the palace became increasingly solemn.

After a moment's silence, the atmosphere in the palace seemed to freeze.

Emperor Qing spoke again, and his voice broke the silence.

Emperor Qing's eyes were full of expectation and inquiry as he asked, "Lord Su, do you know anything about Sean and the temple?"

Su Wenyi raised his eyes slightly and looked at Emperor Qing's anxious expression.

He quickly thought about how to answer this question.

Of course, he knew about the temple, but it would be a pity to tell Emperor Qing like this. This old man wanted to trick him before, and now he wanted to get the answer so easily.

How could it be so easy? I have been waiting for more than ten years just for this moment.

If I let you get it so easily, wouldn't it be all in vain?
Su Wenyi weighed his words carefully and said slowly: "Your Majesty, Xiao En is a mysterious person, and I have only heard a little about the temple.

It is rumored that there are countless mysterious objects and powerful forces hidden in the temple, but I am not very clear about the details.

As for how to get there, Sean did tell me."

When Emperor Qing heard Su Wenyi say that he knew how to get to the temple, his expression changed instantly, his eyes lit up, and he became excited. He quickly asked, "Lord Su, tell me quickly, how can we get to the temple?"

Su Wenyi looked at the somewhat anxious Emperor Qing and smiled secretly in his heart, but pretended to be deep.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and paused for a moment deliberately, making Emperor Qing even more anxious.

The wind blew gently, and the atmosphere in the palace became tense and full of expectation.

Emperor Qing stared at Su Wenyi, waiting for his answer.

Su Wenyi knew that he couldn't reveal too much at this moment and had to strike a good balance.

He spoke slowly: "Your Majesty, the temple is extremely mysterious, and it is not easy to reach the temple. There are many dangers and unknowns involved."

Emperor Qing frowned and asked anxiously: "Then what should we do?"

Su Wenyi was silent for a moment, then said, "Your Majesty, this matter requires long-term consideration. I still need time to think about it carefully."

Although Emperor Qing was dissatisfied with Su Wenyi's procrastination, he also knew that matters concerning the temple should not be rushed.

Emperor Qing took a deep breath and tried to calm his anxious mood. He looked at Su Wenyi and softened his tone: "Lord Su, please speak slowly and carefully."

Emperor Qing's eyes were fixed on Su Wenyi, expecting him to unveil the mystery of the temple.

Su Wenyi pondered for a moment, thinking about how to respond to Emperor Qing's request.

He knew that matters concerning the temple were of great importance and he could not reveal too much easily.

But at the same time, he also understood Emperor Qing's determination, and it would be difficult to explain if he didn't give some valuable information.

After a moment, Su Wenyi slowly spoke: “Your Majesty, the location of the temple is rumored to be extremely secret.

It is said that it can only be found through specific clues and opportunities.

However, these clues are scattered and full of uncertainty.”

Emperor Qing frowned slightly and asked, "What are the specific clues?"

Su Wenyi shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, I have only heard a little about it so far, and I still need to explore the specific clues further.

But what is certain is that the temple is not an easy place to reach.

Sean and Ku He walked for a long time back then, and in the end there was only darkness. I guess that darkness lasted for more than one or two days.

If you want to get there, you will need to prepare a lot of things."

Emperor Qing wandered around thoughtfully. He knew that the matter of the temple could not be rushed, but the desire in his heart was hard to suppress.

He was looking forward to Su Wenyi finding more clues as soon as possible to uncover the mystery of the temple for him.

Finally, Emperor Qing said, "Wenhe, you did a good job on this matter. What you said does make sense."

"For details, please write a memorial and submit it to me later. I will personally review and approve it!"
