Why did Qin Shi, Ming Yue, and Tian Xing, Jiu Ge lock Hong Lian in the Snake Pond?

Answer 1

The reason why Hong Lian was locked in the Snake Pond was probably because the Snake Pond was a secret prison used to imprison some special criminals and suspects during the Tianqi era.

Red Lotus might have been wrongly judged as an important person and imprisoned here, or it might be because of her identity and background that caused her to be seen as a dangerous criminal. Regardless of the reason, Red Lotus's encounter in the Snake Pond allowed her to gain a deeper understanding of the secrets and conspiracies of this world, and at the same time, laid the foundation for her future actions.
