The high priestess was dissatisfied with the two men's attitude: "I am the high priest of the Gu tribe. The emperor once allowed the high priest of my tribe to enter and leave the imperial palace freely at any time.
I am allowed to come and go freely in the Emperor's house. Why do you two ignore me when I want to go to Kyoto?"
Ye Zhou: It’s better to send him away.
"Okay, I'll send a team to take you to Kyoto. Have you told the Gu tribe leader about this?"
Little girl: "He has no business with me."
“Who can control it?”
"My mother, the previous high priestess. But she died."
Okay, I just asked for no reason.
Ye Zhou arranged for someone to escort them and also sent someone to inform the leader of the Gu tribe.
Helan Cheng asked, "Did Your Majesty really promise the High Priest free access to the Imperial Palace? Is there any proof?"
The little girl looked at Helan Cheng and became angry: "Of course there is, but I won't tell you!"
Okay, I asked just for fun.
Helan Cheng asked again, "Have all the previous high priests of the Gu tribe been women?"
The little girl said, "Of course!"
Helan Cheng: Otherwise, they would be allowed to come and go freely? As for Xuanyuan Hao, that jealous guy, I was assigned to the Western Frontier, and Ye Qing stayed at the border in the northern part of the border all year round. They were both assigned to the border.
The leader of the Gu tribe sent a few Gu people to follow him, and packed a big bag and handed it to the little girl.
The little girl said she was disgusted, but the corners of her mouth turned up: "Always nagging."
Ye Zhou said, "Your attire will be too conspicuous after you leave the Gu Clan. You should change into the ordinary clothes of a Central Plains woman."
The next day the little girl came to say goodbye. She was wearing a goose yellow gauze dress, with her hair in double buns and two hanging braids with a pearl flower pinned behind her head.
Not to mention Ye Zhou, even Helan Cheng was stunned for a moment. The girl was really beautiful.
Before the high priestess left, she said to Ye Zhou and Helan Cheng, "I am very happy to have moved down the mountain and met you. The world is so big and there are so many talented people. I am so impressed. I will go to Kyoto to meet more great people.
Thank you for risking your lives to help alleviate the epidemic in southern Yunnan."
As she spoke, she bowed with the Gu tribe's etiquette of thanks, but suddenly remembered that she was now dressed as a woman from the Central Plains, so she bowed again with what she thought was the etiquette of Ye Zhou and Helan City.
After the ceremony and leaving, both of them looked at each other, speechless for a moment. This little girl is really... a little touching.
The departing little girl parted the carriage curtain, revealing her small face. She called out, "I'll go check on your concubines and help keep them under control for you."
That touching feeling disappeared.
Ye Zhou: Who told you to care?
Helan Cheng patted Ye Zhou: I knew it.
Ye Zhou shouted: "Don't bother!"
A voice came from afar: "I know, just take care of it. Don't worry about me."
No, have you learned the Central Plains dialect well?
Wang Lingyi had never seen her brother so angry with her. After finding out the whole story, Wang Suwen was obviously angry and his face was ashen.
Knowing that this man was a gambler and a hitman, he pushed a woman who had just escaped with injuries back into the fire pit. This was not just watching her sister die without helping, this was not allowing others to save themselves.
Wang Lingyi had her own ideas. There is always someone better than you. This woman used to hang out with this man every day and willingly gave him all her house and money. When he was about to be beaten to death, she escaped and took advantage of the situation to get involved with Wang Suwen.
There was a scene in the dream. After forcing her sister-in-law to death, the skinny horse, perhaps because she had lived a comfortable life, brought this man to her house in Kyoto as her eldest brother, and completely forgot that she was almost beaten to death by him.
The scoundrel saw that there was profit to be made, so he colluded with the skinny horse. In the dream, the woman's appearance was always vague, but the appearance of the scoundrel and gambler was clear.
Let these two people deal with each other on their own.
Wang Lingyi had a rough guess from the fact that the skinny horse had deliberately made an appointment on that road and at that time, but since she wanted to play the victim, Wang Lingyi had to oblige her, so she let him get beaten.
But if my brother is really this angry with me, I have overestimated his trust and love for me over the years. Alas, Wang Lingyi glanced at the maid Huang Xiang.
Huang Xiang knelt down and said to Wang Suwen, "Master, ever since the young lady was poisoned, she has always been very cautious of strangers who suddenly appear around her relatives. As for that young lady, I noticed that her speech and behavior, such as her eyes and gait, were not like those of an ordinary girl. She was also very familiar with that man. How can I know that this is not a self-torture trick?"
Yesterday, he said he was going back to spend time with his family, and everything was fine. Now that he's going back, Baba has arranged to wait for him on a slightly off-road official road, and he's also agreed to meet him at this hour. I'm afraid he's waiting for the young master.
If she was honest, why did she lie to you when she saw you? She said the whippings were caused by the six families in Yangzhou who imprisoned and whipped her, but now she says it was all caused by this person.
"I've also heard from the young lady that the eldest young master is now in high esteem at court and must be more cautious in his words and actions. It seems inappropriate for a girl like this to live in the eldest young master's house, so my young lady sent someone to take her away."
Please, Master, don't be angry about our young lady's poisoned body, and don't scold our young lady for a person of unknown origin."
Wang Suwen was about to scold his sister but was stopped dead in his tracks.
Wang Lingyi said, "Brother, if you're worried about sending him back, please hand him over to me and let him live on my farm. Let him recover first. But I don't keep idle people. I'm afraid they might cause trouble."
She probably has never done farm work before. After her injury heals, I'll have someone pick some light work like picking fruit and peeling it. She can do a little bit every day and then find a suitable place to stay. What do you think, brother? If you're worried, you can come and visit her anytime."
Thinking that his sister was poisoned and would only live to be thirty, and still worrying about him, Wang Suwen felt sad and guilty, so he had no choice but to agree.
As soon as the high priestess arrived in Kyoto, she wanted to visit Ye Zhou's mansion first.
But he hesitated. After all, he came with the imperial edict. Should he enter the palace first and pay his respects to His Majesty and the Queen?
I don't know if my skills as a witch doctor can cure the queen. If I arrive before the Ghost Valley Doctor, maybe I still have a chance?
After hesitation, the result was that the high priestess girl went to the largest restaurant in Kyoto, "Yundo Pavilion", for dinner first.
As the saying goes, enemies always meet, and here, the high priestess met her two best friends in life—Wang Xipei and the Fifth Princess. At that time, the two of them were arguing fiercely over a palace lantern.
The days that followed were truly carefree and joyful. Whenever she recalled them, her heart was filled with tenderness. Unfortunately, only when she truly took on the burden of High Priestess and assumed responsibility for her people did she suddenly understand the words of Wang Xipei's elder sister, Wang Lingyi: "There is no such thing as enjoying only benefits in this world."
The most regrettable thing was that she had told a fortune for Xi Pei at that time. Now it seemed that the hexagram was correct, and her interpretation was also correct, but she was a rookie at that time and was not sure of her ability. The three of them laughed it off and let it go. It was a pity.
