An Er said, "The Saintess of Nan Jiang is known as the patron saint of Nan Jiang. She is enshrined in the Saintess Hall five li outside of Nan Zhao City. Except for major events and festivals, the Saintess will not leave the Saintess Hall. Usually, only the 36 maids chosen to serve the Saintess can approach the Saintess. The current Saintess, Shu Manlin, succeeded at the age of fifteen. In the past eight years, she has left the Temple ten times, but each time she wore a mask. It is said that in the entire Nan Zhao, except for the previous Saintess who has entered the Holy Land of Nan Jiang, no one knows what she looks like. "Ye Li shook her head," That is impossible. The current Saintess does not have the right to teach the next Saintess. Then who taught the Saintess? Who raised her when she was young? Who are her parents? And … … if no one has seen the Saintess' true face, then … … who can be sure that the person under the mask is the real Saintess of Nan Jiang? "
"This … …" An Er frowned with some hesitation. Ye Li picked up a pen and wrote a few lines on the paper, "Carefully investigate the Nan Zhao royal family and the Saintess of Nan Jiang. Don't miss any details."
An Er replied, "Yes, this subordinate will immediately send people to do it. Miss suspects … … the Saintess of Nan Jiang … … "
Ye Li played with the charcoal pen in her hand and smiled, "If the Saintess of Nan Jiang really doesn't leave the Temple, how could she hook up with Li Wang? A few years ago, when Li Wang went to Nan Jiang, the Saintess of Nan Jiang did not appear. Then … … "An Er's eyes lit up," They have met in private. The alliance with Nan Jiang is so important that it is impossible for Li Wang to send someone to discuss it. Also, it is not easy to see the Saintess of Nan Jiang. "Ye Li nodded and leaned back in her chair, thinking," Saintess … … this identity is really strange. Suddenly, a girl with an unknown identity, origin, and ability is pushed to one of the most respected positions in the entire Nan Jiang. Are the people of Nan Jiang too easily trusting? " An Er shook his head and shrugged, "If a random person in our Da Chu State was named the Crown Prince, even the Emperor's golden mouth and jade words wouldn't be able to convince the public."
"The Saintess system in Nanjiang seems to be as long as the history of the Nanzhao Kingdom?"
"It wasn't that long. Before Nanzhao was established, each tribe governed their own affairs. There was no such thing as a Holy Maiden. Indeed, after Nanzhao was founded, the State Preceptor at that time, who was also the Priest of the Nanzhao Royal Family, chose the first Holy Maiden. "An Er lowered his head and recalled. Ye Li raised an eyebrow. "It sounds like the Imperial Tutor and the Holy Maiden have similar roles. So after the Holy Maiden appeared, Nanzhao no longer had the title of Imperial Tutor." An Er nodded and pondered for a moment before saying, "The Imperial Tutor's actions aren't as strict as the Holy Maiden's. The responsibilities that need to be fulfilled are more or less the same. However, in the hearts of the Southern Border people, the Holy Maiden is clearly more worthy of worship than the State Preceptor. "
"Compared to an old man who likes to wander around, most people prefer a mysterious and beautiful girl," Ye Li agreed.
In the morning, after eating the breakfast brought by the maid, Ye Li prepared to go out with An Er. But at the door, she met Princess Anxi who was also about to go out. "Miss Chu, are you going out?" Ye Li greeted her with an expectant and nervous smile. "Sister Princess, is there any news of Brother Qingchen?" Princess Anxi shook her head regretfully. "Apologies, Miss Chu. There's no news of Master Qingchen yet. "Ye Li lowered her head in disappointment. She said in a low voice," It's okay, Brother Qingchen will be fine. Lin Han and I will also go out to find Brother Qingchen. We'll definitely find him soon. "
"Miss Chu is new to Nanzhao and unfamiliar with the place. Where do you want to find him?"
Ye Li helplessly counted with her fingers. She said in a low voice, "I … I'll look around. Maybe, maybe I'll find him." Princess Anxi couldn't help but smile. "If Miss Chu feels bored, you can walk around the capital. If there's any place you want to go, you can ask the people in the residence to guide you. But there are many dangerous places in Nanjiang. Miss Chu, please don't go alone. Don't let Master Qingchen worry. "Ye Li nodded." I know. Thank you, Sister Princess. You'll find Brother Qingchen soon, right? Or, or I'll write to Uncle Xu. Brother Qingchen said that Uncle Xu is the smartest person in the world. He'll definitely find Brother Qingchen. "
"Mister Hongyu?" Princess Anxi asked softly, startled.
Ye Li nodded heavily. She said with a smile, "Sister Princess also knows Uncle Xu? Did Brother Qingchen tell you? "
Princess Anxi nodded slightly. She said with a smile, "Don't worry, Miss Chu. I promise I'll find Master Qingchen soon. The road to Nanjiang is difficult. Don't let Mister Hongyu worry. Otherwise, won't Young Master Qingchen feel uneasy when he finds out? " Ye Li blinked. She looked at Princess Anxi in confusion. After a while, she nodded and said, "Sister Princess is right."
After watching Princess Anxi leave, Ye Li followed her with a smile. "Tell someone to follow Princess Anxi."
"Yes."
In the inn, Han Mingxi walked down from the lobby with a satisfied expression as if she had just woken up. Her languid and elegant demeanor that was different from the people of the southern border immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the inn. Han Mingxi didn't care about other people looking at him. He lazily walked down the stairs and asked the waiter, "Have you seen the two Masters with me?" The waiter felt dizzy. He quickly said, "Master, the two Masters left early this morning. By the way, there is a letter for Master. "The waiter ran to the counter and took the letter from the innkeeper. He handed it to Han Mingxi. Han Mingxi raised her eyebrows. She took the letter and glanced at it. She couldn't help but frown. "Jun Wei is really too mean. How can he leave me behind and run away? Hmph, there is no one in this world that I can't find. " He crumpled the letter into a ball and hesitantly put it in his sleeve. He walked out angrily, leaving the guests in the inn who hadn't come to their senses.
At this time, in a restaurant owned by the Great Chu people opposite the inn, Ye Li, dressed in men's clothing, was leisurely sitting by the window drinking tea. The person beside her had changed from An Er to An San. Looking out of the window, he happened to see Han Mingxi, who was grumbling resentfully, walking out from inside. Ye Li was amused as she watched Han Mingxi walk into the crowd and gradually disappear. She asked, "What did Han Mingxi do yesterday?" An San said in a deep voice, "Master Han went out in the middle of the night two days ago. He didn't come back until ten past midnight. He should have gone to the Tianyi Pavilion's stronghold in Nanzhao. We and the Tianyi Pavilion have never offended each other. Master … do you need to investigate? "Ye Li shook her head and said," No need. It's fine as long as he doesn't hinder us. Pay attention to the news from An Si. Don't let Han Mingyue come to find us without us knowing. "
An San nodded, "Strictly speaking, Master didn't scheme against the Tianyi Pavilion. It was Master Han who followed us to Nanjiang. The Tianyi Pavilion's master shouldn't make trouble for us. "
"That's not necessarily true. Does the Tianyi Pavilion send news regularly? "Ye Li asked.
