Chapter 25 Out of the Tiger's Mouth, Into the Wolf's Den
"Let's go see the old man first. After Ying Liyue finished speaking, he turned around and bowed his head to Gonggong Li before saying slowly: "Don't blame Gonggong, after all, I am in the side courtyard of the General's Mansion all the year round, and there are no maids or elders around me to teach, and the rules are not very thoughtful. ”
"It's good to be less casual. There are a lot of things to deal with on the side of the Ministry of Rites, as well as the Ministry of Households, and your canonization ceremony is scheduled to be after seven days, although it is a bit hasty, but I Yunze has been recuperating for many years, and the treasury is still rich, so it is okay to rush out within seven days, and then go with the high priest to meet Your Majesty. "Grandpa Li is unexpectedly very talkative.
This made Ying Liyue feel once again what kind of existence the high priest was in Yunze.
"Thank you father-in-law for this trip. Ying Liyue was not hypocritical.
It stands to reason that now I should give this father-in-law Li a little reward or something, after all, the novels and TV series I watched in my previous life were not for nothing, and she also saw it in this world, and many masters will reward people with something.
A little more, such as bracelets, and a little less is some broken silver, gold melon seeds, and the like.
But firstly, she has no money now, and secondly, Gonggong Li is the most powerful eunuch around the emperor, and it is not too much to say that one person is below ten thousand people, and I am afraid that my little reward will not be taken in the eyes of others, and maybe he will be accused of insulting people.
So I didn't take the initiative to speak, and if I had the opportunity in the future, I would make up for it.
Besides, everyone can see his current situation, so he won't be able to do it there.
After separating from Gonggong Li, Steward Chen led Ying Liyue to another Chinese luxury carriage, compared to the one made by Steward Chen next to him, the volume of this car was about three times, followed by several maids with very good temperament and appearance, and a cold-faced guard holding a sword in both hands
I don't know if he was born with facial paralysis or who offended him, in short, his face is very serious now.
Ying Liyue didn't care, and the two carriages went from the general's mansion to the high priest's mansion one after the other.
It took them two hours to reach the distance they had crossed through the streets, and the ordinary people who had come to see the gossip were shocked along the way.
Everyone began to talk about it in twos and threes.
"I didn't expect it to be true, I thought it was a lie. ”
"I said you don't understand, do you really think that ugly things and good things can be passed on? If these big families don't want to let any secrets leak out, there are still some means, and now it involves the Son of Heaven, and even the apprentice of the high priest, the future heir of the high priest's mansion, and the second daughter of the great general's mansion......"
"So many big people didn't suppress the news, and it is obvious that people didn't want to suppress it at all, they deliberately let it spread. ”
"Also, I know from a nephew who is studying that the holy decree has begun to be posted everywhere, and it won't be long before you can see the original text of the holy decree in the place where the emperor list is posted!"
"So powerful?"
"Of course, my nephew is a reader, and he can read and write. ”
"You say, this high priest's mansion suddenly has a young envoy, what will happen in the future?"
"What else? In the future, the high priest will be used for succession, just as he has appointed a prince. ”
"Not necessarily. Someone retorted: "The crown prince was secluded or beheaded, and there were not a few brothers who ascended the throne." ”
"......," he said, and the people around him who had just been discussing it suddenly fell silent for a moment.
Everyone's hearts froze, and at this time, everyone invariably remembered, yes, the prince can be replaced at any time, and there have always been many princes who have been replaced.
However, the young envoy of the high priest is different, the high priest's palace only accepts one disciple per term, and the young envoy is almost 100% able to ascend to the position of high priest.
And although the position of the young envoy is the same as that of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the high priest has a special status, and his disciples also have a special status.
If the talent is better, such as the current high priest was gifted when he followed the previous one, it didn't take a few years to catch up with the previous high priest, and now he is sitting in a stable position.
The current emperor is not polite to the high priest, and on some special occasions, the ranking of the young envoy's name is probably not much different from that of the emperor.
After all, the common people feared the emperor, but they feared the immortals even more.
The other side.
Looking at the majestic door of the High Priest's Mansion, Ying Liyue was a little timid for a while.
It's like entering a purgatory, and you'll never be able to get out.
Originally, she didn't care much, the General's Mansion was a wolf's den, this is the tiger's mouth, and it's the same everywhere.
But there are too many people in the General's Mansion who have bullied the original owner, and the General's Mansion will blatantly abuse her, which makes her very troublesome, although she can clean it up, but she is not here to fight.
She has a lot of things to do, the master who disappeared inexplicably, and the illusions left by the master, all of which require her to spend a lot of time and energy on cultivation to strengthen herself.
Therefore, Ying Zhixuan and Aunt Han are just small explosions in Ying Liyue's opinion, and they have time to clean up, so they naturally don't have to take it to heart if they don't have time.
And she knows better that if there are too many trivial things, it will hold most of the energy, and it will only achieve nothing.
So she came to the High Priest's Mansion, at least someone here to eat, shelter and travel to help her prepare, she is now just a beginner in illusion - the illusionist.
Although he has reached the peak of the Phantom Person, he has not touched the threshold of breakthrough for a long time, and he has no intention of cultivating after the master disappears, and there is no one to guide him, so he has been staying at the peak of the Phantom Person.
It is not easy to break through.
In her realm, whole grains are indispensable, so she doesn't want to work hard for three meals by herself, and she doesn't want to deal with the group of people in Qinglou every day to earn money.
What she needs is time, strength, and those treasure resources to improve her strength.
"It's coming, it's coming, don't you want me, the master, to greet you?" the high priest's voice rang out in all directions, making it impossible to hear which direction it was coming from.
But Ying Liyue knew that this was the voice of the cheap master.
"That's in. ”
There is no way, the other party's strength is much higher than her, at least at the moment, she has no way to compete with the other party.
But she had felt that kind of pressure in the master's body, and the high priest was too far behind the master.
Ying Liyue was confident that if she could break through the barrier of the illusionist and reach the next level, she might be able to compete with this high priest.
Even if you can't beat it, you won't be able to handle it like you are now.
As for the master?
What's the point of screaming, anyway, all she thinks in her heart is her own master.
Thinking about it, Ying Li Yue stepped into this mansion that everyone flocked to, but she was a little avoidant.
