"Slow down, slow down. Everyone has one." The young girl waved her spoon. From time to time, beggars would gather around her. She was alone, so she seemed a bit flustered.
"No, no, next time I have to get them to help me!" Thinking this, she continued to wave her hand. "After you finish eating, remember to go to the other brothels. Next time, you have to use a ticket to get food …"
On the street, a beggar scratched his head in confusion. He said to himself, "That's not right. I just saw it. Did I see it wrong?"
"It can't be wrong, it can't be wrong." The young man beside him shook his head. His eyes were full of light. "It must be the Empress. Only the Empress would have such a kind heart!"
"Then, then can I join the Holy Religion?" The beggar looked at him and nervously asked.
"Come with me." The young man said in a low voice. He glanced at the brothel again and committed it to memory. The last time he saw the Goddess appear with his own eyes, it was also near here.
The two of them turned around, and their figures quickly disappeared into the vast crowd.
Not long after, in a remote courtyard in the capital, the purple clothed man raised an eyebrow. He asked, "The Empress appeared again. Did you see it with your own eyes?"
The young man shook his head. "Although I didn't see it with my own eyes, the words of the new believer shouldn't be false. The last time I saw the Empress, it was near here."
The purple clothed man's eyes flashed. After a while, he said, "Alright, I understand. Although the Empress is an immortal, she cares for the believers. She will reincarnate into the human world and spread her grace. What you saw was the reincarnation of the Empress after she abandoned her divine power. Remember not to disturb her."
"I understand!" The young man respectfully cupped his hands and left.
His expression was sincere. Whether it was the Empress or the reincarnation of the Empress, they were both existences that gave him a second life. To him, there was no difference.
After the young man left, the purple clothed man walked to a door and gently knocked.
"Come in." A light voice came from inside the room.
The purple-clothed man pushed open the door and entered. Before he could speak, the middle-aged Daoist nun sitting cross-legged on the bed said, "You did very well. Since the believers of the capital believe in that Empress, then she must be the Empress."
"But how should we explain it to the believers in other places?" The man in purple asked tentatively.
The middle-aged Daoist nun lightly said, "Since the Heavenly Empress can have one incarnation, then why can't she have two? One to bring good fortune to all living beings and the other to punish. Why not?"
The purple-robed man was stunned for a moment, then immediately said respectfully, "The Empress is wise!"
"The woman in the portrait should be real. Spread the word that the Empress has abandoned her divine power, sealed her memories, and incarnated into the mortal world to experience the suffering of the mortal world. Only then can she benefit more believers. Tell them not to disturb her." After a pause, the middle-aged Taoist nun spoke again, "Also, you should personally investigate who that woman is."
"This subordinate will do as you bid." The purple-clothed man immediately nodded.
Although the events of that day were outside of their plans, after the Empress' reasonable arrangements, they actually had endless benefits. However, they still needed to be careful when dealing with that woman. If there was the slightest mistake, then all of their efforts in the capital would be for nothing.
"There is one more thing." The purple-clothed man thought for a moment, then said, "The government seems to have discovered something. Recently, the intensity of the investigation on these matters has increased. This subordinate is worried that if this continues, I'm afraid that there will be some oversight."
"Then have them stop all actions and return to their normal lives." The middle-aged Taoist nun nodded and asked, "How is the Assembly of Heroes going?"
The purple-clothed man said, "This time's Assembly of Heroes has stirred up the entire martial world. The competition on the Heaven Proclamation is fierce and it has been delayed by a month. At the latest, it will be held in half a month. Those secluded sects have also sent their true experts. However, the number one on the Heaven Proclamation is still that woman called Liu Ruyi … "
When speaking of those secluded sects, the middle-aged Taoist nun's expression did not change. However, when the purple-clothed man mentioned that name, her brows involuntarily twitched.
Liu Ruyi, the young woman she had met in Qing 'an Prefecture, was a grandmaster expert like her. She was also the biggest obstacle to her taking the position of Alliance Leader.
It went without saying how useful the position of the leader of the Wulin Alliance was to the Holy Church. Otherwise, she wouldn't have started making arrangements so early. Especially after seeing the power of the Imperial Palace, she clearly realized that the Holy Church's current power was far from enough.
The position of Alliance Leader could not be lost.
"Liu Ruyi …" She closed her eyes and softly said this name.
…
…
In the past two days, the headlines of the entertainment section of the Capital Daily were undoubtedly about a young royal family who lost his footing and got drenched by a murderous stare. A prince was as timid as a mouse. Was he the King of Shu or the Rat King?
As for County Uncle Li, he was naturally covered with some legendary colors.
There was a rumor in the capital that County Uncle Li got sick because of the fear of the King of Shu. Later, in the imperial palace, he seriously injured the King of Shu in front of all the officials, which undoubtedly gave the rumormongers a hard slap in the face.
As time went by, this matter was almost forgotten by the people in the capital. However, the incident of the King of Shu jumping into the lake made people dig up the past. In contrast, it was full of irony.
Of course, the influence of this incident was far more than that.
As the first successor to the throne, the title of King of Shu could be said to be a topic of conversation. His every move was watched by the officials and the people.
However, this successor always did some extremely shameful things, which made the people in the capital start to doubt whether their fate would be handed over to such a thing in the near future.
Naturally, the officials also had the same concerns. Many people were not very satisfied with the King of Shu. After this incident, they naturally opposed the King of Shu even more. As for those who were still waiting to see which side to take, the balance in their hearts gradually began to tilt. As for those who were originally partial to the King of Shu but were not die-hard fans of the King of Shu, they even began to doubt their lives. Was this a damn fake prince? Could the King of Shu really make it?
There were also movements from the other princes. If the King of Shu really couldn't make it, they would have to replace him in advance …
No wonder His Majesty didn't express his opinion when Prime Minister Qin and others strongly recommended the King of Shu as the Crown Prince. When it came to judging people, who could be more brilliant than His Majesty?
Of course, these things were not in the hands of Li Yi for the time being. He was in the imperial palace, giving special treatment to Monarch Jin.
"Sir, I, I still don't think I can make it …" Monarch Jin's chubby face was much thinner than before. He looked at Li Yi with a troubled expression.
"Why? You don't want to be the dean of the College of Mathematics?" Li Yi looked at him and asked.
"Not anymore." Li Han shook his head and said.
Li Yi thought for a moment and looked at him and asked, "Do you know where Jinzhou is?"
"Yes, my fief is in Jinzhou." Li Han nodded.
Li Yi asked again, "Then do you know what Jinzhou is like?"
Li Han was stunned for a moment, then he shook his head.
"Jinzhou is very far from the capital. If you take a carriage, you won't be able to get there in 10 days or half a month. There are no sugar-coated haws, no Beggar's Chicken, no ice in summer, and no fresh vegetables in winter. You won't be able to see your father and mother even once a year …" Li Yi looked at him and asked, "Now tell me, in a few years, do you want to go to Jinzhou, that remote place where birds don't even shit, to be a Prince, or do you want to be the dean of the College of Mathematics and live freely in the capital?"
Li Han was stunned for a moment, then he suddenly swallowed his saliva. He looked at Li Yi and said with a firm gaze, "Sir, give me the book …"
…
When he walked out of the museum, Li Yi couldn't help but sigh. These children nowadays were really getting harder and harder to deceive. It was hard to persuade them. It would be better if they were simpler and simpler. Whatever the teacher said, he wouldn't have to waste so much time talking to them.
He went to see Yong Ning and played chess with the tsundere Lolita for a while. Finally, he used the super invincible Celestial Dog that could swallow the whole universe. Only then did he leave with satisfaction.
He didn't go to Princess Royal Highness to ask her how she was doing as the chairman of the Women's Federation, how many die-hard female fans she had, how many officials and dignitaries she had won over — it wasn't that he didn't want to, but when he was talking with the old Emperor about the College of Mathematics, Li Yi found that the Emperor looked at him a little strange, as if he always had an impulse to kick someone in the next second.
The Imperial Palace wasn't a place to stay for long, so it was better to leave as soon as possible.
But thinking about it, it was normal. His son had become the laughing stock of the capital, and the title of "King of Rats" was even more resounding than "King of Shu". This time, he was afraid that he would lose a lot of fans in the court. Prime Minister Qin and others had worked hard for so long, but because of this guy's jump, not to mention going back to square one night, it was bound to go back two years.
Thinking about it, Prime Minister Qin and others should doubt their lives a little more in the past few days. Alas, the old man was so old. If he often worried so much, it would damage his lifespan. He was really worried about the old man.
No wonder the old Emperor wanted to kick him. If it was him, he would also kick him. Kicking people was a light punishment, and the culprit should be hung up and beaten.
The person who spread rumors everywhere was simply a psycho. Was he so terrible that he could kill people with his eyes? If he really had this skill, could King of Shu live to this day?
Forget it, it was better to come to the palace less these days. Even if he came, he would not see the old Emperor, who was in his forties. Maybe he had reached his menopause, so he could not afford to provoke him.
Today, he helped Prince Jin to strengthen his faith. He believed that in the Beggar's Chicken …, under the attraction of knowledge, he would work harder to study mathematics and strive to be a good successor to the dean of the College of Mathematics …
…
"What did he do just now?" Emperor Jing asked casually while reading the memorials.
Chang De walked in from outside the hall and said, "Your Majesty, County Uncle Li taught Prince Jin about mathematics for a while in the Bowen Hall, and played with the two little princesses for an hour. He just left the palace."
Emperor Jing put down the memorial and rubbed his eyebrows. When it came to the two little princesses, he had a headache.
Chang De smiled and said, "Your Majesty, don't blame me for being talkative. Princess Shouning's words carry no harm. County Uncle Li always knows how to behave himself in these things …"
"Behave himself?" Emperor Jing picked up another memorial and said, "He killed County Uncle Li with his eyes, and made King of Shu jump into the lake with his eyes. He has lost the face of the royal family. What does he know about propriety?"
Chang De smiled and said no more.
Although His Majesty said so, in fact, in recent days, he had been doing things in the style of that boy. King of Shu could not represent the face of the royal family, and …
Seeing that His Majesty no longer said anything, he slowly retreated out of the hall. There were no clouds in the autumn sky, and the wrinkles on his face stretched out.
"After all, the world still belongs to these young people …"
…
"Chen, what can I do for you?" Xiao Cui opened the courtyard door a crack and poked her head out. She looked at the young man standing outside and asked.
"Is your mistress at home?" The young man waved his folding fan and asked with a smile.
Xiao Cui frowned when she smelled the strong smell of alcohol. She grew up in a brothel and hated the smell of alcohol the most. Hearing that, she said, "Chen, if you have anything to say, just tell me. I will tell my mistress."
"What? A guest is here, and you won't let him in?" The smile on Chen's face disappeared, and several servants behind him also stepped forward.
Although Xiao Cui was afraid, she still said boldly, "Men and women should not touch each other. There are only me and my mistress in the courtyard. In order to avoid gossip, Chen should say it here."
"You bitch …" An angry expression appeared on Chen's face. Just as he said this, the courtyard door opened and Ceng Zuimo walked out. She said lightly, "Chen, what do you want? Say it."
The young man in front of her, who reeked of alcohol, was Chen, who had been pestering her a lot these days. At first, he pretended to be polite and well-mannered, but after running into a wall a few times, he gradually returned to his playboy nature.
She had seen many people like this before.
Seeing Ceng Zuimo come out, Chen immediately smiled and said, "Zuimo, you're out. Let's talk inside, let's talk inside."
"Let's talk here." Ceng Zuimo pulled Xiao Cui back half a step. Her voice seemed to be a thousand miles away.
A trace of anger flashed across Chen's face, but the next moment, he smiled again and said, "Zuimo, you know my feelings for you. I promise, as long as you agree to me, you will enjoy endless wealth in the future …"
"If that's the case, then there's no need to talk about it anymore." Ceng Zuimo waved her hand. She had heard this kind of talk so much that her ears were about to get calluses. She looked at him and said, "Chen's status is noble. I really don't deserve him. It's better for Chen not to mention this matter in the future."
After all, Chen had drunk today. After hearing this, no matter how self-restrained he was, he couldn't help it. She was just a prostitute, yet she made him spend so much effort. He angrily said, "It's your fortune that I like you. Who do you think you are? So what if you're the goddess of Luo Shui? Do you really think you're the daughter of a noble family?"
"Let me tell you, I'm going to have you today!" After saying that, he reached out to grab Ceng Zuimo's arm.
Xiao Cui's expression changed. She pushed Chen away and hurriedly said, "Miss, quickly go inside!"
Behind Chen, two attendants quickly stepped forward and blocked the courtyard door.
Ceng Zuimo and Xiao Cui's expressions both changed.
Ceng Zuimo's expression turned cold and said, "Trespassing? We can report this to the authorities!"
Chen had already stabilized his figure at this time and laughed. "Trespassing is nothing. Today, I'm going to rob a woman!"
Then, he reached out again and touched Ceng Zuimo's face.
