"Shengzhou …"
After the purple-clothed emissary left the tent, Fang Yu put the matter behind him for the time being.
There were eight purple-clothed emissaries in the Holy Religion, and each of them could be ranked on the so-called Heaven List of Martial Arts Experts. A purple-clothed emissary and a few blue-clothed emissaries were enough to deal with all the problems in the branch in Shengzhou.
He did not care about a mere branch in Shengzhou. What he cared about was the supreme position in the capital.
Zhao Zheng trusted him very much because the Holy Religion was Zhao Zheng's last chance. Only by relying on the Holy Religion could he conquer the capital and become the new emperor of the Qi Kingdom.
Thanks to Zhao Zheng's trust, he was able to gain control of the 150,000 soldiers in Beijing-Hebei Province in such a short period of time.
Of course, in terms of numbers, the number of followers of the Holy Religion was more than this number, but the meaning of the two was different.
He was the Guardian of the Right of the Holy Religion, second only to one, above tens of thousands, and leading more than 100,000 followers.
But if he could become the emperor of a country, he would be above millions and tens of millions of people. This was the difference between heaven and earth.
A figure walked into the tent. Fang Yu glanced at her, and his expression immediately became solemn. He bowed and said, "Your Highness."
The Taoist Nun walked inside and asked indifferently, "Did something happen in the branch in Shengzhou?"
Fang Yu hurriedly nodded and said, "I've sent the purple-clothed emissary to investigate it personally."
The middle-aged Taoist nun did not continue this topic. She turned to look at him and suddenly asked, "Do you want to replace Zhao Zheng?"
Fang Yu's expression changed. He clenched his teeth and said, "Auntie, Zhao Zheng is a narrow-minded man. He doesn't keep his word. We can't trust him so easily. I'm afraid the first thing he will do after he ascends to the throne will be to get even with us. We can't place our hopes on him!"
"As long as he sits in that position, I naturally have a way to make him listen to me." The Daoist nun looked at him and said, "You're not a legitimate member of the Zhao family. Even if you conquer the capital, the courtiers won't agree, and neither will the people of the Qi Kingdom. If you want to sit on the throne, the whole world will oppose you. When that time comes, you won't even be able to take care of yourself. How can you avenge your family?"
"Auntie …"
The Daoist nun looked at him and continued to ask, "Revenge for your family or your selfish desires, which is more important?"
"Of course, revenge is more important." Fang Yu was silent for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "I know I was wrong."
The middle-aged Taoist nun walked to the door, then turned around and said, "Shengzhou is already part of the capital region. The branch won't get into trouble easily. Keep an eye on this matter."
Fang Yu bowed and said, "Yes."
After the Taoist Nun left, Fang Yu paced a few times in the tent and sat down again.
Vengeance was important, but it was even more important to be an emperor who held great power and did whatever he wanted …
…
"The Holy Religion has eight Purple Robed Emissaries, and each of them is in charge of a branch in several states. Now that we've taken down one, there are seven left." Xu Zheng sat opposite Li Yi and continued, "The position of the Purple Robed Emissaries in the Holy Religion is only below that of the Empress and the Protectors. Each of them is very important and indispensable. The disappearance of one of them will definitely attract great attention, and even the Empress will come personally …"
What Li Yi wanted was the Empress coming personally. If it weren't for the fact that they had limited energy and manpower, he would even want to destroy all the branches of the Holy Religion in the capital region. He didn't believe that the Taoist Nun would still be able to sit still.
Here, Elder Xu had been waiting for her for so long that he couldn't wait any longer.
After taking down the Taoist Nun, Ruoqing would be the only Empress, and the Holy Religion of the Lin Family would be completely in his hands. At the same time, he could help Zhao Yi out of trouble and return the favor of taking care of the Lin family all these years. It was the best of both worlds.
The goal was clear, the plan was smooth, and everything was perfect. The only thing that was not so perfect was that Miss.Liu was sick.
Except for that time in Fengzhou, when she was seriously injured, Li Yi had never seen Miss.Liu sick in the past few years.
She didn't even have the most common cold and fever.
He had always thought that Ruyi was a superman, and that the illnesses of mortals had nothing to do with her.
Only now did he realize that he was wrong, and very wrong. She didn't get up in the morning, and she didn't even get up when it was time for breakfast.
She was never like this usually, so Li Yi thought that she was not in the room. When he walked in, he found that she was still lying on the bed.
Li Yi pushed her through the quilt and said, "The sun is shining on your butt. It's such a hot day, and you're covered with such a thick quilt. Don't you feel hot?"
Miss.Liu didn't respond.
Li Yi poked his head over and found that her face was very red. It was not the kind of blush that was shy, but a white blush.
When he placed his palm on her forehead, his expression changed.
…
"She has been running around day and night these days, and her body is already tired. She also caught a little cold, and that's why she is like this. Not to mention her, even the body of a Grandmaster has a limit." Elder Tian took his hand away from her wrist and said, "I'll write a prescription. After you get the medicine, boil it for a few days, and pay attention to rest. You'll be fine."
Only then did Li Yi realize that Ruyi had set off a few days later than them, but she had arrived in Shengzhou almost at the same time as them. She probably didn't rest well in between.
"I'll go get the medicine."
In the past, Li Yi had bought and boiled medicine for Miss.Liu countless times, so it was a walk in the park for him. He personally went to the pharmacy to buy the medicine, boiled it, and let it cool before bringing it to her bedside.
Li Yi tested the temperature of the medicine, blew on it, and put the bowl down. He said, "There's no White Rabbit Creamy Concoction, and Xu didn't bring it with him. Just make do with it this time, and I'll make another one for you later."
Miss.Liu was not afraid of anything, but she was afraid of bitterness. This was her only weakness that Li Yi had discovered.
A piece of candy, and a mouthful of medicine. This was something that they had agreed on a long time ago.
Miss.Liu took a small sip, and her brows furrowed. She said, "There's no White Rabbit Creamy Concoction, then … put some sugar in it."
"No!" Li Yi refused without any hesitation. He said, "Have you seen anyone put sugar in medicine? Will it still be effective?"
"Then I won't drink it. I'll be fine after resting for a couple of days." Miss.Liu also refused without hesitation. To her, drinking medicine was the most painful thing in the world.
Li Yi looked at her and threatened, "Don't make me do it …"
Miss.Liu also looked at him and said calmly, "You can try."
Li Yi really did not dare to try.
Even if MIngzhu was standing in front of him, he would still dare to have a fair fight with MIngzhu. However, if it was Miss.Liu, he would not dare.
After all, she only had a cold this time, and not a serious injury. Li Yi was worried that if they fought, he would be the one to eat the White Rabbit Creamy Concoction in the end.
"Then I'll ask Elder Tian if I can put sugar in it." He sighed. On the surface, Ruyi was a martial arts master with a cold temperament, but in reality, she was just a child who could not grow up.
After hearing his words, Elder Tian looked at him in surprise and said, "It's not that you can't, but the effect of the medicine will be greatly reduced. It's just drinking medicine. Is there a need to go through so much trouble?"
Li Yi shook his head. This kind of thing varied from person to person. He had to spoil her. After all, she was Ruyi …
"Just this once." When Li Yi walked into the room again, he placed the bowl of medicine in front of her.
Miss.Liu took a sip and frowned. She said, "It's still bitter. Add a little more."
Li Yi looked at her and said, "Don't go too far. Any more and it'll be useless. Hold your breath and drink it in one go. That way, you won't feel the bitterness …"
Miss.Liu frowned. She held her breath and drank the entire bowl of black medicine.
She put down the bowl and clutched her chest. She frowned and only calmed down after a while. She raised her head to look at Li Yi and asked, "Why does it taste as bitter as without sugar?"
"Because I really didn't put sugar in it."
Li Yi looked at her and said, "Didn't you drink it all without sugar?"
Miss.Liu looked at him and pointed at the long sword hanging on the wall. She said, "Help me get the Autumn Water."
Li Yi did not understand. "Ruyi is already so sick. Why would she need the Autumn Water? What she needs is a good rest …"
Fang did not understand either. The Second Young Mistress had a serious cold. However, when he saw her chase after the son-in-law, it did not seem like it …
Outside the capital, in a tent.
The middle-aged Daoist nun frowned. "Did Envoy Chen Ziyi not return?"
Fang Yu's expression was also a little unsightly. "After Envoy Chen Ziyi left, there was no more news. The blue-clothed envoys that were sent were also not heard from."
Fang Yu looked at the purple-clothed people behind him and said, "The four of you go together. You must find out what happened in Sheng Province and where Envoy Chen Ziyi is now!"
The middle-aged Daoist nun shook her head and said, "There's no need. This time, I'll go personally!"
Fang Yu thought for a while and said, "The four of you follow Her Highness. If something happens, you can take care of her …"
"Yes!" The four of them bowed in unison.
