The cold palace is located deep in the palace, dark and deserted.

The Daqian Dynasty was a martial arts dynasty. The royal family of each generation practiced the secret method of yang-locking and controlling women, and it was no problem for them to control several women at night.

In the selection of concubines in the harem, the more the better.

Every emperor had a large number of concubines. Not to mention three thousand beauties, but three to five hundred was just a normal number.

With many concubines, there were naturally many who were banished to the cold palace.

The entire cold palace was composed of six courtyards and seventy-two rooms, with Jia, Yi, Bing, Ding, Wu, and Ji combined with the twelve earthly branches.

In previous years, it was common for the cold palace to be overcrowded. However, since Emperor Taikang had ascended the throne not long ago, there were not many concubines, so half of the rooms in the cold palace were vacant.

There were generally three endings for those who were banished to the cold palace: one was to be pardoned from the palace, the second was to die of depression, and the third was to commit suicide.

Looking at Concubine Min in front of him.

Concubine Min was born in an ordinary family. She entered the palace in the late years of Emperor Taizu's reign and gave birth to a son, Qian. She was the most favored concubine of Emperor Taizu in his later years.

Concubine Min was sent to the cold palace during the reign of Emperor Taikang.

"She can't leave this cold palace."

Li Qing had anticipated the fate of Concubine Min.

Concubine Min finally chose a Bingsi wing room.

After registering Concubine Min's wing card, Li Qing walked through two courtyards and came to Jiamao wing room.

"Greetings to Empress Qi." Li Qing bowed in front of the door.

This is Concubine Qi's residence.

"It's Little Li, you go and clean up." A lazy voice came from the wing room.

After getting a positive reply, Li Qing went into the side room to take out Concubine Qi's night fragrance and poured it out.

Concubine Qi is different from Concubine Min.

Concubine Qi was the favorite concubine of Emperor Taikang. She was bumped into by the Empress Dowager when she was bickering with Emperor Taikang. The Empress Dowager scolded her for being rude and then was sent to the cold palace by Emperor Taikang. In this case, she has a high probability of being able to get out, so she must not offend.

Li Qing naturally took special care of her.

After dealing with Concubine Qi's night fragrance, Li Qing came to Jizi's wing room again.

"I didn't kill the princess, I didn't! Concubine Li never gave birth to a princess!"

"Give me food, I want food!"

"I want a man, hahaha!"

A crazy voice came from Jizi's wing room.

This is Concubine Ming. It is said that because of the power struggle in the harem, she murdered Concubine Li's newborn princess and went crazy after being sent to the cold palace.

It is unknown whether it was a true murder or a false murder.

But the crime has been sentenced to death, and there is no possibility of leaving the cold palace.

Li Qing went straight into the house, took the night fragrance and left.

After dealing with the night fragrance and washing his hands, Li Qing walked out of the six courtyards and entered the duty room in front of the gate of the cold palace.

"What a great move, it cuts off my dragon!"

There was a lot of noise in the room, and the other eunuchs were all there.

Four people were playing Go, two were bragging, and five were playing dominoes.

"Little Li, come and play a game." Eunuch Wang Li held the chess pieces and greeted Li Qing.

"Okay." Li Qing smiled and sat down with the black hand.

The twelve eunuchs in the cold palace were of the same level and had no rank. There was no special position in the palace, so everyone had no reason to fight for power, so they got along well. They usually got together to play chess, brag and play dominoes.

They didn't gamble, but the bet was to pour the night fragrance.

Wang Li was a chess expert, and the poor chess skills of other eunuchs were all taught by Wang Li. Wang Li naturally won more and lost less, and he didn't have to help the concubine pour the night fragrance all year round.

After more than a hundred moves, Li Qing, who was average at chess, lost more than a dozen points, and the big dragon was captured. He was defeated before the endgame.

"I will give you the night fragrance of Lady Ming tomorrow, hehe." Wang Li stood up with satisfaction.

After the chess game was over, Li Qing found a rocking chair and lay down, thinking about cultivation.

The Hundred Worlds Monument reads "Seeking Immortality in the Red Dust", and seeking immortality is naturally Li Qing's goal of cultivation.

"But according to my memory, I have never heard of the saying of cultivating immortals in the Daqian Dynasty. It may be that there is, but I can't get in touch with it at my level."

"The first thing I consider is martial arts..."

"After you have a certain strength to protect yourself, you can go to seek immortals. It is also possible that martial arts and cultivation will be different paths to the same destination."

There are acquired and innate theories in the martial arts.

Li Qing's top priority is to find an acquired technique.

There is a special Martial Arts Bureau in the palace, where all eunuchs practice martial arts, and there is also a special martial arts pavilion. Under normal procedures, new eunuchs entering the palace must first be selected by the Martial Arts Bureau. Those with talent for martial arts will be retained, and the rest will be assigned to other departments.
