Chapter 415 Women Cannot Show Their Faces in Public
On this day, Princess Rong locked herself in her room all day and had no appetite.
The next morning, just after dawn, before Princess Rong got up, Qin Huaizhao brought Ling Jinlan to pay her respects.
After being woken up by Shao Pei, Princess Rong asked sleepily, "What? They're here so early?"
Shao Pei nodded and said, "The prince has to go to the Dali Temple. The rules are strict and he can't be late. I can only come early to pay my respects to the princess."
Princess Rong had no choice but to get up and wash.
Thinking that his son had finally become the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple, he couldn't waste his time, so he hurried to the front hall before even packing.
The two of them greeted each other.
Princess Rong rubbed her forehead and said, "Huai Zhao, please leave quickly. Don't waste time. Jin Lan, please talk to me."
Hearing this, Qin Huaizhao quickly said, "Mother, Jinlan is going to the Dali Temple with me today."
Princess Rong was shocked. "She's just a woman. What's she doing in a place like the Dali Temple? You're bringing your new wife along on official business. Wouldn't that make people laugh?"
Qin Huaizhao said quickly: "The painter at the Dali Temple has had a family accident recently, and many cases require painters. Jinlan is good at painting, so I asked her to try and help out temporarily."
Upon hearing this, Princess Rong looked at Ling Jinlan in surprise.
Still dissatisfied.
"Isn't this still inappropriate?"
"After all, she's a woman, and your newlywed wife. How could she possibly show up in a place with so many men?"
"No, no, isn't it hard to find someone who can draw? Just go find someone else."
At this time, Ling Jinlan said, "Mother, the Dali Temple is not a messy place. My sister is in charge of tens of thousands of men alone. Has anyone ever talked about or made fun of her?"
Upon hearing this, Princess Rong was choked and had nothing to refute.
But his face looked extremely ugly.
Qin Huaizhao also said: "Jinlan is right. Helping the Dali Temple to investigate the murderer, clear up the unjust case, and restore peace to the people is a good thing. No one will laugh at you."
"Mother shouldn't be so prejudiced."
"It's almost time, we can't delay any longer."
After saying that, the two of them bowed and left together.
After a while, Shao Pei came to report: "Princess, the Crown Prince has left on horseback with the Crown Princess."
Princess Rong was worried, "This is to avoid me."
"I've just gotten married and I've been treated like this. What's going to happen to me in the future?"
On the street, Ling Jinlan sat in front of Qin Huaizhao, facing the morning sun and the wind, feeling relaxed and happy.
"Why did you take me to the Dali Temple? I don't believe you're in need of a painter."
Qin Huaizhao's deep voice came from behind: "It's true that we are short of people, but we have been short of them for a long time."
"I've always paid a lot of money to hire an artist from the study to help me paint. Yesterday, I saw you painting, and there were so many patterns, so I thought you must be better than the artist at the study."
It just so happens that my mother might have to stay in Kyoto for a while.
He is not at home during the day, and he doesn't know how his mother will make things difficult for Jinlan, so it is better to keep Jinlan by her side.
Hearing this, Ling Jinlan felt a warmth in his heart.
"If I don't draw well, won't it be embarrassing for you?"
Qin Huaizhao immediately said: "What's the harm? Just give it a try."
Anyway, it was just an excuse to take Jinlan out of Prince Rong's Mansion.
There was blood in the Dali Temple's cell, and he was afraid that Jinlan would not be able to adapt, so he did not hope that Jinlan could stay.
Arrived at Dali Temple.
Everyone I met along the way greeted me warmly.
"Master Qin, sister-in-law!"
"Hello, sister-in-law."
Ling Jinlan smiled and nodded.
At this time, a tall, dark-skinned man ran over, smiling and showing two rows of white teeth, "Sir, you really brought your sister-in-law!"
Qin Huaizhao introduced it, "This is Daliang."
Ling Jinlan nodded and greeted him.
Qin Huaizhao looked down at her and said gently, "Let's go to the prison to draw a portrait now. The smell of blood is quite strong inside. If you can't stand it, we will come out and take a look first."
Ling Jinlan nodded.
Then he walked towards the prison.
Daliang followed beside him and said, "This Dali Temple cell, many people will vomit when they first come here. In my opinion, it is better not to bring my sister-in-law in. Bring the prisoner out for interrogation and draw outside."
When they arrived outside the prison, Qin Huaizhao looked at Ling Jinlan, wanting to see what she thought.
Ling Jinlan didn't hesitate at all, "It's okay, let's go in and take a look first."
"it is good."
Then the two of them were taken to the prison.
The dark and damp place was filled with a strong smell of blood. The ground was covered with old bloodstains. In some cells, there were prisoners being tortured. The scene was bloody and horrific.
Ling Jinlan had a calm expression, but fearing that people would think she was too calm, she pretended to be a little scared.
But this reaction was beyond everyone's expectations.
"Are you okay?" Qin Huaizhao asked with concern.
Ling Jinlan nodded, "Okay."
"How do I draw? I can start now."
Soon, they arrived in front of a cell and prepared pen and ink.
Ling Jinlan sat down and drew a portrait of his accomplices from the mouth of the prisoner who was beaten and bleeding.
Qin Huaizhao just stood by and watched quietly.
The other subordinates gathered around, not daring to say anything for fear of disturbing her, but they kept giving her thumbs up and praising her.
After the portrait was finished, Ling Jinlan nervously took it up and showed it to the prisoner in the cell.
"Is that right?"
The prisoner took a look and nodded, "It's quite like the real thing."
Daliang couldn't help but say, "Sister-in-law is so amazing!"
Everyone was shocked. They didn't expect Ling Jinlan to be not afraid at all and to draw the portrait so calmly.
This behavior doesn't seem like it's the first time coming to such a gloomy and bloody place.
Ling Jinlan smiled sheepishly, "I'm glad I could help you."
Qin Huaizhao took the portrait and handed it to Daliang, "Issue a wanted order immediately."
"Yes!"
Qin Huaizhao glanced at the others again, "What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and start drawing the next one."
Several people quickly dispersed.
When no one was around, Qin Huaizhao smiled and looked at Ling Jinlan, "Jinlan, you're amazing."
Ling Jinlan was still a little embarrassed.
He lowered his eyes and said, "Actually, this is not the first time I've seen this kind of scene, so I'm not afraid."
She still didn't want to deceive him.
Husband and wife should be honest with each other.
Qin Huaizhao frowned slightly, without any look of disgust, only heartache, and hugged her in his arms.
"You suffered."
The moment he was embraced in his arms, Ling Jinlan felt a little more at ease.
I hope in my heart that Qin Huaizhao can accept the real me.
Although Qin Huaizhao has said this many times, there is still a secret that Qin Huaizhao does not know.
She has killed many people.
I hope that one day Qin Huaizhao can know everything about her.
"Cough cough!" Daliang came back and saw it. He coughed twice and quickly turned around.
Qin Huaizhao then let go of Ling Jinlan and his expression returned to seriousness.
Daliang turned around and chuckled, "Since you're newly married, I understand, I understand."
Then the next prisoner was brought in for questioning, and Ling Jinlan went over to have his portrait drawn.
I spent the whole day painting eight pictures.
Although it wasn't much, it received praise from many people.
"Sister-in-law has really helped us a lot. It would be great if the portrait stayed in the Dali Temple."
This feeling of being needed made Ling Jinlan feel particularly fulfilled.
