Chapter 1768: Tips from the High Priest
Shi Liu met the gazes of her biological parents and said, "You came here today, besides thanking the young lady, did you also want to ask my young lady for the antidote to Xiaoyao Powder?"
Shi Liu asked directly and to the point without any further ado.
Just by the way they address each other, one can sense Shi Liu's indifference towards her biological parents.
Tang Bao was not at all surprised by Shi Liu's attitude towards her.
Shi Liu was used to seeing the Su family's love for Tang Bao, so she could naturally tell the depth of the high priest and the saint's feelings for her daughter.
Tang Bao minded the high priest and the saint's initial coldness towards Shi Liu, and Shi Liu herself also minded it.
"The young lady has handed this matter over to Tutor Yu." Shi Liu continued with a stern face.
After saying this, he looked towards the high priest, his heart full of dissatisfaction with his biological father.
As the high priest, he failed to judge people and trained a vicious woman like Yi Mo as his heir.
To the point that it almost killed His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and made the young lady so sad.
The lady doesn't have the mind to meddle in miscellaneous matters right now!
The life and death of those elders has nothing to do with the young lady!
Although Shi Liu didn't say anything, many words were expressed through his facial expressions.
The high priest was a man of great stature, and he immediately understood what his own daughter meant.
The high priest bowed to Tang Bao.
"The injuries suffered by your Crown Prince are all due to my failure to discipline Yi Mo."
After saying that, he straightened up and took out a brocade bag from his sleeve pocket.
"The contents of this brocade pouch will be useful to Princess Ford and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the future. Consider it my apology."
When Tang Bao heard that the treasure bag would be useful to her and her brother, she took it without hesitation.
She had no doubt about the high priest's mysterious abilities.
But the treasure bag was deflated.
Tang Bao opened the brocade bag and found a coin inside.
Tang Bao's pupils tightened.
"What is this?" Pomegranate frowned and asked, "What is the use of this thing?"
Tang Bao also looked at the high priest, trying hard to suppress the excitement in her heart, with a questioning look on her face.
The high priest said, "I have deduced that this thing will be useful to Princess Ford and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
The high priest paused here.
He added, "As for what it is used for, I don't know. I believe that when the time comes, Princess Ford will naturally know."
After listening to the high priest, Tang Bao put the coin directly into the brocade bag.
Since the high priest said it works, it must work.
Tang Bao is still very convinced of the high priest's mysterious abilities.
Her good luck was purely earned through the merits of ten lifetimes.
The high priest's ability is his own ability.
"In that case, I would be disrespectful to refuse." Tang Bao said.
But Pomegranate was really unhappy.
"Isn't this too stingy? Is the life of our Crown Prince worth this much—"
Shi Liu pointed at the sachet in Tang Bao's hand, a look of disgust on her face, and continued, "I wonder what this thing is?"
High Priest: “…”
What should I do when my own daughter keeps ruining my life?
So this is what it feels like to have a daughter.
The high priest groaned inwardly.
For so many years, the people of southern Xinjiang have always regarded him as a god, and no one has ever treated him like this.
The high priest felt a sense of novelty and warmth in his calm heart.
Perhaps, this is the blood relationship and the fireworks of life.
The high priest looked at Shi Liu with a kinder and gentler look in his eyes.
"Nanjiang will naturally compensate Dayan for the matter of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Your country's Grand Tutor has already been discussing the diplomatic relations between the two countries with the monarch. The result will surely satisfy Dayan." The high priest said meaningfully.
That lucky bag was just his personal apology.
As soon as the high priest finished speaking, Da Pan’s voice came from outside the door.
"Master, you are back."
"Well, how is His Royal Highness?"
"Master Jian said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is doing well. Oh, by the way, my aunt has woken up and is entertaining the High Priest and the Saint."
As Da Pan spoke, the footsteps outside the door paused, as if hesitating whether to come in.
Shi Liu hurried over and opened the door.
"Please come in, Master." said Shi Liu.
Yu Zhilan walked in, followed by Da Pan, Er Pan and the little scholar.
When the high priest and the saint went to open the door in front of Pomegranate, they both put on masks and veils.
Tang Bao glanced at the two of them and said nothing.
After a few greetings, the high priest did not mention the antidote for Xiaoyao Powder.
Since Shi Liu has already said that Yu Zhilan is fully responsible for the antidote, the high priest will naturally tell the king of Southern Xinjiang and let the king negotiate with Yu Zhilan.
"Shi Liu has agreed to take over the position of high priest. The succession ceremony will be held in a month. Please attend the ceremony." The high priest looked at Tang Bao and others and said.
Tang Bao nodded.
"I will definitely attend Sister Pomegranate's big day!" Tang Bao said with certainty.
Tang Bao was naturally not surprised by the high priest's words.
But Da Pan and others were different.
After all, Shi Liu had made it clear that he would not stay in southern Xinjiang.
Da Pan and others have always treated Shi Liu as a family member, so naturally they would not let Shi Liu suffer any grievances.
So, after the high priest and the saint said goodbye, Er Pan asked first, "Aunt Shi Liu, did someone force you to stay?"
Everyone knows who this "someone" is.
Da Pan also said: "Don't worry, Aunt Pomegranate, if you don't want to stay, no one can force you. Aunt and we will support you!"
Shi Liu felt warm in her heart, but also became more determined in her thoughts.
"Don't worry, no one forced me to take over the position of high priest. I inherited it of my own free will."
The young scholar hesitated and said, "Didn't you want to..."
Not only does he not want to stay, he also doesn't want to recognize his relatives.
Da Pan and Er Pan also looked skeptical.
Pomegranate could only explain sentence by sentence.
"You probably don't know, but as the daughter of the High Priest and the Saint, my bloodline is stronger than any other High Priest in history... I can more easily sense Suramo's presence and communicate with him more smoothly..."
"It is my mission to inherit the position of high priest and convey Sulamo's will to the people of Southern Xinjiang."
"It is my responsibility to lead the people of southern Xinjiang to a more prosperous life..."
When Shi Liu finished speaking, an invisible pressure seemed to emanate from her body.
Everyone is so familiar with it!
This is the aura of a superior!
It turns out that a change in a person's identity can indeed change his or her aura.
At this moment, the person in front of everyone was no longer the carefree girl, but a person who could hold the power of life and death and was worshipped by all the people.
In fact, only Shi Liu herself knew that the most important reason why she accepted the position of high priest was that she wanted to be the support of her own lady.
Before she left Xi Qin, she had privately discussed Tang Bao's marriage with Queen Mingli.
Although Tang Bao is young, she is almost old enough to get married after returning to Dayan.
The two sisters agreed that those in the Dayan Palace would definitely not allow a blessed girl like Tang Bao to marry into another family.
After all, what if that family had thoughts of rebellion?
Who will God help?
Who is destined to be the one?
Do those people in the palace dare to gamble?
