The abbot tacitly left the meditation room. He was indeed a master, not sticking his nose into things he shouldn't.
"Jinghong, the Yongxin Hall is one end of the secret passage…" Chu Qingzhi pointed on the map, moving her finger for quite a while before stopping at a location outside the imperial palace.
"This is the moat." Tang Jinghong's gaze fell on the spot where Chu Qingzhi's finger stopped. After careful thinking, he said, "Next to the moat, there's a stone as big as a bed. The location is quite secluded, just where your finger is pointing. It's suitable as the exit for the secret passage."
Curious, Chu Qingzhi asked, "Such a big stone, hasn't anyone been curious about it?"
Tang Jinghong said, "Of course, someone tried to push that big stone before, but the late emperor said it was an auspicious stone. He issued an edict to keep people away, saying that it was to protect the country's fortune. So, the big stone has never been touched ever since."
