Since ancient times, the spiritual realm is like a bird flying across the sky. When you look up, there is no trace of it left, as if it was just an illusion, but the shadow it cast just now did flash across your eyelids.
This is what the legend in the palace is like. The maids and eunuchs have no cultivation and cannot see that magical and magnificent world, but clues will spread in people's consciousness and integrate their needs to evolve into a version passed down by word of mouth.
Last time Meng'er told him, it was said that Wei Qingju left a secret passage for the palace maids, and that's what Pei Ye thought.
The little maid had no idea how vulnerable the Queen was at that time.
But there was no need for him to argue about such things, because the girl seemed very interested. Although she had only stayed for a few days, Pei Ye already knew that it was really precious to have something she enjoyed doing in this palace.
And the spiritual realm does exist.
After he kills Yu Sicheng, or at some point when things come to an end, it may be possible for him to take her to places like Huanlou to take a look, so as to fulfill the dream she has worked so hard to pursue by climbing over the wall.
But “washing away the blood” is not.
No matter from which angle you look at it, this is just a dream, a boundless dream shared by the little girl who lost her mother due to the awakening of the unicorn blood and her maid with a broken limb.
Not to mention whether there is such a method in the world, even if there is, it is not something a maid can obtain by hard work of chiseling ice.
"Then, when we find it, Your Highness and I will go and explain it to the Empress." After a moment of silence, Meng'er said, "Tell her that we don't have unicorn blood, and she won't object and will let us leave the palace... Master Yongji also said that he will get married regardless of whether Your Highness has unicorn blood or not."
Pei Ye did not answer. Meng'er took a deep breath, sternly held her face, and tried to prop herself up and left. Before leaving, she thanked the two of them sincerely.
Pei Ye watched her leave. At this time, night had fallen completely. The cold wind blew through her clothes, bringing the faint fragrance of flowers from the Qiongju Garden in the east.
Pei Ye had never paid much attention to this marriage. Who Yong Ji married had little to do with the current situation, but with a little thought he could see most of it. The Prince of Yan was certainly willing to marry a true heir, but besides him, who else would be willing?
The big shots who can decide things all have their own considerations in this matter. The queen represents the interests of the five surnames, so she certainly won't let the blood be shed.
What power is there in the court? Apart from the Five Clans, there is the newly born Yuan Party.
And... Pei Ye glanced at the woman in red next to him. She would not let King Yan succeed in what he wanted to do. She was their most direct enemy now.
Li Xizhou watched her leave longer than he did. When she turned around, Pei Ye thought she was going to say something to thaw the atmosphere, but she just looked at Pei Ye in silence for a while, as if she swallowed something back into her mask. She swung her skirt, turned around and walked ahead.
…
At night, Pei Ye was still cutting purple bamboo in his mind, while chatting with Xiao Mao about the case. This was almost the content of their every night in the past few days.
When the information accumulates to a certain limit, it is often not difficult for the young man to connect them. Although he never boasts about it and is used to keeping many inferences and guesses in his stomach, he does have extraordinary sharpness and insight, especially with the blessing of [Quail Head]. If confidence is the second sword is a joke, then a clear and calm mind must be a real hidden sword that is not noticed.
Although he had only been there once, he felt that his inferences about the mirage and Luoshen Palace were almost correct. What he really had no clue about was another matter he mentioned to Li Xizhou today - he was sure that Yu Sicheng had to rewrite his body in order to enter Luoshen Palace, but how should this be done?
The mermaids and the Green Wind Envoy are both unable to advance in front of the Xuanliu, so the "rewriting" cannot be based on them.
But where can Yu Sicheng find the creatures that are allowed to enter? Probably only Luoshenmutao.
But there is actually a problem here. Implanting the Roselle Peach into the body is useless.
I don't know why it didn't work, but Pei Ye saw it with his own eyes. Yu Sicheng had already picked the Luoshen wood peach, but when they fought in Xuanliu, he didn't show any excessive adaptability and sensitivity at all.
He still needs to rely on those yellow pupils to see.
Pei Ye felt that it was very likely because Wei Qingju had seen the method used by the Green Wind Envoy before his death.
You can’t expect to invade her Luoshen Palace again using the same method you used to assassinate her. Pei Ye felt that if he were Wei Qingju who controlled the water realm, then the action he would take would be very simple.
In the past, the mirage realm only allowed accepted humans to enter temporarily, but there were many water monsters and scales living here on a daily basis. When humans were transformed into their flesh and blood, they naturally concealed the boundary markers.
Then just ban all scaly creatures.
Not to mention that some half-human, half-scale creatures are not allowed to take even a single step into the suspended stream.
In this way, the Palace of the Goddess of Luo River would naturally be "respected and avoided by water spirits".
Even if the door is opened, no matter how many Roselle peaches you eat, you will not be qualified to swim freely inside.
Pei Ye has been puzzled about this matter for a long time. He and Li Xizhou said that entering Luoshen Palace consists of two steps: "putting on clothes" and "opening the door", but it seems that Yu Sicheng cannot complete either step.
He tilted his head to look at the black cat, but the black cat couldn't give him any inspiration.
"Don't stop." it just said.
The next morning, when Pei Ye opened his eyes, his mind was still pondering the matter. He ate and washed absentmindedly, and then Qu Xin removed the bandage. The horrible wound from a few days ago had become only a few shallow pink marks.
"You can bring back new ones." said the cold girl.
Pei Ye rolled his eyes at her. He wanted to at least get the Qilin Fire before seeking an opportunity to go to war with Yu Sicheng. The actual expected time point was after a piece of [Da Jiao Zhao] was produced.
Judging from yesterday's inference, these two things are huge challenges for Yu Sicheng. He will not be too impatient before there is any news.
One more day of stability means more information can be obtained.
He sat up and put on his clean new clothes. Tonight was the royal private banquet. He tilted his head and glanced at the girl who was washing her hands: "Are you going or not?"
"No, I have to take care of the patients."
"Maybe you can meet new patients at the banquet." Pei Ye said casually.
"Who are you talking about?"
"I don't know, but it's inevitable. I'll keep an eye out for you. The princes and princesses must be very rich."
"A doctor from Mount Tai will not accept high salary." Qu Xin said calmly.
Pei Ye paused buttoning his shirt and frowned at her. "Before when I was treating your injuries, I asked you a question, but you either pretended not to hear me or scolded me. I didn't dare to talk to you. These past two days, whenever Li Xizhou was around, you could answer ten questions well for every one question he asked you. Your answers were so logical and logical. If you didn't want to do business with the royal family, how could you be so patient with me?"
“It’s not a lie.”
"Isn't this a lie? If you didn't accept Gao Lu, why did you extort so much money from me in the past?"
"You are a Seventh Life Cultivator, one of the few masters in the world's meridian realm. I only charge twenty-three taels of silver to save your life. Is that very high?"
"..." Pei Ye was silent for a while, and said seriously, "That doesn't mean you don't want to be accepted by Gao Lu, it's because I'm poor."
Qu Xin paused, and for the first time he opened his almond-shaped eyes slightly. Pei Ye lowered his head, put on his boots, and strode out.
Although it was a private banquet with a small number of people, it was obvious that the palace had not held an event for a long time, or perhaps the specifications would be quite high whenever the Linxue people got together. Pei Ye walked out of the Zhujing Palace and saw many palace servants walking in rows on the other side of the Taiye Lake from afar, making the palace seem a little more lively.
As usual, he leaned on the railing and thought about something. After a while, his ears suddenly moved. He turned his head subconsciously and was slightly stunned.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Outside the Zhujing Hall, under the tree next to the Zhuchi, a little girl in a red jacket was holding a broken fishing rod and looking at him without saying a word, just wiping her tears and sobbing.
Pei Ye subconsciously raised his body from the railing, stretched out his hand and walked over quickly: "...Wu Yan, why are you here, what's wrong?"
Her eyes were red from rubbing them with her little hands, her hair stuck to her eyes, and her face turned red when the wind blew. When she saw him coming, the tears that she had been holding back began to fall.
"What's wrong?" Pei Ye held her little face, "Don't cry."
“Brother Pei, I’ve been looking for you for days… and couldn’t find you. I thought you were gone…” Li Wuyan choked up, wiped her eyes with her sleeve, and handed him the small fishing rod in her arms, “The fishing rod you made for me is also broken… I can’t… I can’t catch any fish anymore…”
When she talked about the sad part, her sleeves couldn't wipe it clean, so she threw herself into the boy's arms and started crying.
"..." Pei Ye didn't understand for a moment whether she was reluctant to leave him or was afraid of not being able to catch fish. Logically speaking, he had only taken her out to play for three or five days.
He held her in his arms and rubbed her head: "Didn't I tell you that I'm busy these few days? I'll teach you, and you can fish by yourself. If your fishing rod is broken, just ask someone to fix it for you."
However, Li Wuyan just shook his head while lying in his arms, unable to say anything. After a long while of sobbing, he said sullenly, "Brother Pei, you, you fix the small fishing rod."
"Okay." Pei Ye pulled out his hand and took a look. In fact, it was the tip of the rope that was broken. This small fishing rod was made very simply by him, and it couldn't be damaged to any great extent.
"Let's go find some bamboo. I'll fix it for you in half an hour." Pei Ye held her up and stood up.
"Then, can we go fishing?" Li Wuyan whispered in his neck.
"..." Pei Ye paused, "Okay, I'll get mine later and we can find a pond to fish."
"Yeah, okay." However, the little girl did not have the wide-eyed excitement as before, and only responded slightly.
Pei Ye helped her choose a small bamboo she liked, roasted it into a beautiful arc, and then replaced the fishing line. After doing this, when Li Wuyan held the small fishing rod in her arms again, her sporadic sobs finally stopped.
They returned to Zhuchi, and when Pei Ye chiseled the ice and lowered the two fishing lines again, the palm-sized little face began to giggle again.
"Is it because you went fishing every day these days that your fishing rod broke? Did you catch anything?"
"I caught a small fish yesterday... the day before yesterday. I wanted to show it to you, but you were not there."
“So amazing!”
"Um."
The child's face couldn't hide what was going on. She looked at the fishing line and swung her boots for a while, then her brows drooped again as she remembered something. She turned her head and whispered to Pei Ye, "Brother Pei, can I not take the unicorn blood test?"
"…Why? Why don't you want to?"
"Because, because..." Li Wuyan lowered his head, unable to explain for a long time, and finally said aggrievedly, "Anyway, the instructor told mother that after I pass the unicorn blood test, he will take away my little fishing rod..."
When she said this, she was very sad and raised her hand to wipe away her tears again.
"And, and I thought you were gone..."
Pei Ye quickly wiped away her tears and comforted her, "It's okay, talk to the teacher, as long as you complete your homework well, you will definitely be allowed to go fishing."
Li Wuyan just shook his head: "No, I'm not allowed to fish anymore. And, Sister Bijun told me that if I can't do the unicorn blood test well... many people will ignore me."
“…”
"Actually, actually, no one paid attention to me, but I was afraid that you would ignore me too... I couldn't find you, and there was also my elder sister..."
"How could I ignore you?" Pei Ye nudged her head like an old bull until she started to giggle again, then he stood up and said, "Besides, I've taught you how to fish, so you can fish by yourself in the future."
"..." Li Wuyan's face was blank for a moment, but he just lowered his head and shook his head.
After a while, she looked at the line and said, "Brother Pei, I think my line is too short. I really want to catch a big fish."
"Not short."
Li Wuyan puffed her lips and looked at the fishing line quietly again.
Perhaps it is too difficult for a six-year-old child to understand changes outside of himself. Going fishing with Brother Pei these days is probably the happiest thing. However, the most painful thing is to say goodbye to this happiness after the blood test in a few days.
This is what the legend in the palace is like. The maids and eunuchs have no cultivation and cannot see that magical and magnificent world, but clues will spread in people's consciousness and integrate their needs to evolve into a version passed down by word of mouth.
