Outside the Heavenly Fragrance Inn, the eunuch's voice was sharp, and it sounded like a duck suddenly quacking. There was an indescribable strangeness to it that made people tremble.
Especially in this snowy night, the eunuch's voice immediately gave people a bad feeling.
"Well, this eunuch is an expert. Although he is not as good as the Yin Lianhua, he is not bad."
Hong Yi's Divine Soul moved and felt that the eunuch's voice had a special Qi. In the sound wave, his whole body was slightly numb. He knew that this eunuch was a great expert, at least at the peak of Grand Master, only one step away from entering the realm of Wu Sheng. Although it was only one step away, a Great Grandmaster at the peak of Martial Dao was already a very terrifying existence.
This kind of Great Grandmaster at the peak of Martial Dao, if his body or mind entered the Saint Realm, then he would be a half Wu Sheng.
Master at the peak of Martial Dao, if he took another half step, he would be a half Wu Sheng.
If he took another half step, when both his body and mind entered the Saint Realm, his spirit and body would be completely integrated, then he would be a real Wu Sheng!
Now that Hong Yi had manifested his soul, he was especially sensitive to the Blood Qi Martial Path. His ability to sense also greatly surpassed that of his physical body. Therefore, in an instant, he could sense the martial realm of the eunuch outside.
If Hong Yi was not the Divine Soul, he would not be able to accurately distinguish the martial realm of the eunuch just by listening to the voice.
However, the Divine Soul was extremely sensitive when it came out of its shell. It could sense almost everything.
When the voice came, Hong Yi's "whole body" was slightly numb, which was enough to show the strength of the eunuch.
Hong Yi was already a "half Thunder Tribulation" Immortal, and his Divine Soul was strong and pure Yang. Hearing the voice made him feel slightly numb. It could be guessed that if it was an ordinary ghost immortal, it would be very uncomfortable, and even his Divine Soul would be slightly injured. Of course, if it was not a ghost immortal, it would be even worse.
"It's so late in the night, why did the Kunyuan Palace send such a Great Grandmaster expert to deliver the edict and ask Consort Yuan to see His Majesty? This eunuch is quite powerful. Just the sound of his voice can make me feel slightly itchy. I wonder what kind of martial arts he cultivates? However, you've disturbed my night chat with Consort Yuan. It's really disappointing. "
When Hong Yi heard the decree, he felt slightly uncomfortable because he was chatting with Consort Yuan earlier.
The Sect Master of the True Dipper Sect had actually been reincarnated. Hakuziyue had returned to fight for the position of True Dipper Sect Master. This was a world-shaking matter. After all, the True Dipper Sect was one of the Six Great Sacred Lands. In the snowy plains of the north, they had developed for thousands of years and were much stronger than the Peach God Path.
In the sect, experts were as common as clouds! He had immense wealth, countless manuals, innumerable Dharma treasures, and immense power!
The leader of the True Dipper Sect held great weight in the entire Yuan Tu Country. Even the emperor had to obtain the support of the True Dipper Sect to ascend to the throne!
If Hakuziyue were to fight for the position of True Dipper Sect Master, there was no need to talk about his power. He would probably be able to suppress the Peacock King and become the leader of the Eight Great Demon Immortals.
Just as he was about to ask about the experts in the True Dipper Sect and the other people who were fighting with Hakuziyue for the position of True Dipper Sect Master, he was interrupted by the eunuch. How could he not be disappointed?
At the same time, an idea formed in Hong Yi's mind.
"If I help Hakuziyue obtain the position of True Dipper Sect Master, I can return his favor."
When she heard the eunuch's decree outside, Consort Yuan's expression changed slightly as she said to Hong Yi, "Hong Yi, step aside for a moment."
"What's wrong? Is the Empress targeting you? "When Hong Yi saw Consort Yuan's expression, he could roughly guess what was going on. What kind of person was the Empress? How could he not guess that it was definitely related to the struggle in the imperial harem?
The struggle in the imperial harem of the past dynasties was filled with schemes and plots. Although there were no flashes of swords or blades, it was much more bloody and cruel than the slaughter on the battlefield.
There were countless unofficial histories, notes, and poems passed down through the dynasties. Hong Yi had read some of them and knew how dangerous the imperial harem was. It was not a place for people to stay.
The Emperor's imperial harem was a place even dirtier than a brothel. Women would rather enter a brothel than enter the imperial harem.
"Of course, the Da Qian Royal Family is full of shrewd people … None of them are simple characters. Otherwise, how could they rule the world and even destroy the Daizen Temple? The Empress, Madam Ji, is a sinister person. She already knew of my background and has been trying to harm me. It's already so late and I'm already in bed, yet she sent me an edict to the Earthprimordial Palace. There's definitely nothing good about it. Unfortunately, Ziyue isn't by my side … I have to think of a way to deal with this, "Consort Yuan said in a dreamy tone.
"If Ziyue isn't by Miss Consort Yuan's side, I will be. I came to the palace today to investigate the Crown Prince. I heard that the Crown Prince is the Empress' biological son. I also want to meet the Empress who is the Empress's descendant."
Hong Yi smiled.
It turned out that the Empress was born into a huge aristocratic family, the Qing Prefecture's Ji Clan.
Among the ancient sages, there was an ancient sage called Ji Zi, and the Ji family of Qing Province was a descendant of the Ji family. Even the current sect master of the Righteous Sect, Ji Changyue, was from the Ji family back then.
The central region of Tianzhou was vast and boundless. On this land, there were many ancient clans. Some clans even existed much earlier than the Daizen Temple and the Taishang Sect. These clans were rich and immeasurable. Generations of rulers even tried to rope them in.
The Ji Clan that the Empress came from was one of them. (Clans like the Ji Clan are equivalent to the Kong Clan on Earth or the Zhang Clan of Longhu Mountain … They have thousands of years of history and are descendants of ancient sages.)
Clans like the Zhao Clan of the Southern Daluo, compared to the descendants of the Ji Clan, were like comparing a rich landlord to a Duke or a Marquis. However, these clans were very low-key. They didn't form sects or anything to develop in the martial world. Instead, they followed the ancient etiquette and thrived.
Hong Yi already knew about these situations. In the imperial exam, the Ji Clan had to be tested. How could he not know about the Qing Prefecture's Ji Clan?
Anyone who was worthy of being called a "Zi" was a great sage that appeared once every 500 years. Nowadays, nobody was worthy of being called a "Zi"! Even Meng Shen-Ji, this kind of invincible expert, in Dao Sect, if he called himself "Child Meng", he would also be ridiculed by all the cultivators of the world.
"Perhaps Hong Xuanji wants to be called a" Hong Zi "in the future? He wants to be like a sage from the ancient times? His reputation will never fade and as long as there are people around, his name will always be heard? "Hong Yi thought of the Empress and the Ji Clan and immediately thought of Hong Xuanji.
"Okay, Hong Yi, since you are willing to stay by my side, then I don't have to worry so much. Why don't you attach yourself to the body of my personal eunuch! Follow me to see the Empress. Let's see what the Empress is doing today. "
Consort Yuan stood up and pushed open the door. Then, a little eunuch walked in. Hong Yi's body moved and he attached himself to the little eunuch that Consort Yuan was serving.
"Little Ye Zi, follow me to the Palace of Kunyuan."
Consort Yuan blinked her eyes at Hong Yi and had a kind of enchanting expression. In an instant, Hong Yi had a feeling of "all the cosmetics in the six palaces are colorless".
"If I were the Emperor of Da Qian, even if I knew that Consort Yuan is a fox demon immortal, I would never let her go."
Hong Yi thought to himself. Then, he held Consort Yuan's hand and walked out of the door.
"This little eunuch's body is not bad." Hong Yi attached himself to the body of the eunuch called Little Ye Zi and tested him. Except for his lower body which was a little awkward, the rest of his body was very strong.
"Who would have thought that I, Hong Yi, would also be a eunuch. But I have to attach myself to a palace maid. That's even more awkward." Hong Yi laughed at himself.
"Eunuch Xiao Ao, it's so late, and the harem is already in bed. Why does the Empress summon me?" Consort Yuan was supported by Hong Yi as they walked to the door.
At the door of the Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant stood a red-robed eunuch, followed by two black-robed eunuchs.
This red-robed eunuch had loose eyebrows and droopy eyelids. He seemed to be out of strength. However, Hong Yi knew that this eunuch cultivated a special cultivation technique that allowed him to accumulate energy at all times.
"This person is also a red-robed eunuch?" Hong Yi looked at this eunuch Xiao Ao and knew that this eunuch had a very high status. After all, the Yin Lianhua was also a red-robed eunuch.
The eunuchs in the palace were also divided into different ranks. The highest-ranking eunuchs were the chief stewards and deputy stewards of the six palaces. They were all red-robed, followed by black, green, and gray robes.
"I don't know the details, but the Empress wants to ask Her Highness Consort Yuan some things. Her Highness, please come with me. "Eunuch Xiao Ao didn't bow and still spoke in a sharp voice.
"Since it's the Empress' decree, I'll go to the Kunyuan Palace. Where's the carriage?" Consort Yuan didn't want to waste time with this Eunuch Xiao Ao. She asked her palace maid to prepare a carriage. After sitting in it, she let Eunuch Xiao Ao lead the way and carried her to the Kunyuan Palace.
Hong Yi naturally followed the carriage.
Consort Yuan was the Imperial Noble Consort. When she walked in the palace and met the Empress, she could also sit in the carriage. Ordinary Noble Consorts couldn't.
A group of people slowly walked on the roads of the Imperial City on a snowy night. The ground creaked under their feet, and it was eerily quiet. Hong Yi felt like the calm before the storm.
After walking for about an hour, the vast Kunyuan Palace appeared in front of them.
The Kunyuan Palace was the Empress' main palace, and the Qiangang Palace was where the Emperor lived. Usually, the Emperor lived alone in the Qiangang Palace at night, reading memorials to the throne. This was the information that Prince Yu had obtained.
Prince Yu had also bribed some of the eunuchs in the palace, so he had his own sources of information.
When Consort Yuan's carriage stopped at the square of the Kunyuan Palace, he saw that the entire Kunyuan Palace was brightly lit. Pairs of eunuchs and palace maids stood there solemnly.
This kind of situation caused Hong Yi to think of the officials interrogating criminals in the main hall.
