As soon as he entered the door and sat down, Liu Yuming got straight to the point.
Facing Liu Yuming directly, Liu Ruyan didn't talk nonsense, looked calm and composed, and said: "I hope you and the saint will submit to His Highness."
Liu Ruyan directly explained his intention.
"Hey!" Liu Yuming sighed softly and fell silent.
As for Liu Ruyan's purpose of coming, Liu Yuming had already speculated.
After all, although the two parties are mother and daughter, they have not seen each other for many years and there is actually no affection between them.
The only connection is just the bond of blood.
Liu Ruyan has longing and complaints about Liu Yuming, which is a very complicated mood.
And why isn't Liu Yuming like this?
Guilty, distressed, embarrassed...
But if she was asked to surrender to Zhu Youji and join the forces of the Ming Dynasty royal family, she would never agree.
"Miss Liu, my Holy Sect has never participated in the affairs of the government. The Holy Sect is just a gangster force. I am afraid that I cannot help Your Highness."
Dongfang Bai was a smart man. Although he didn't know the relationship between the two, he guessed something from their expressions, so he took the words and declined politely.
"I'm talking about you, not the Holy Sect. I can't control the Holy Sect's attitude. And as you are prisoners at the moment, surrendering to His Highness is your best way out. Only in this way can you leave here." Liu Ruyan. He turned to look at Dongfang Bai and said slowly.
"Miss Liu, Elder Liu and I have disappeared. The Holy Sect will definitely investigate to the end, especially since Elder Liu came here and has already greeted Elder Qi. Now that Elder Liu has not returned, Elder Qi will definitely ask the Holy Sect for help. Next There are more than just two grandmasters coming here at one time."
"I hope you can go back and tell His Highness the Fourth Prince not to do anything unwise." Dongfang Bai looked serious and his tone was full of warning.
From Dongfang Bai's point of view, even if Zhu Youji is nameless, extremely powerful, and has two grandmasters on his side, he will definitely not be able to get along with him if he is completely hostile to the Holy Sect.
To kidnap the holy girl and the elders of the sect is a great shame and humiliation for the holy sect, and the estrangement is difficult to eliminate.
Once the higher-ups of the Holy Sect know about it, there will definitely be a fight to the death.
Unexpectedly, after hearing Dongfang Bai's words, Liu Ruyan showed a smile and said with a slight smile: "The Holy Sect is certainly a powerful Jianghu sect, but it is limited to the Jianghu sect. I don't know if the Holy Master of the Holy Sect has the courage to fight against it. Will the Ming Prince take action?"
"Prince of the Ming Dynasty?" Dongfang Bai's face changed, and his eyebrows wrinkled slightly, "Zhu Youji became the prince?"
"Haha, today's decree is that you will be sent to the East Palace soon."
"Holy Gate? What a big arrogance!"
Liu Ruyan looked at the two of them and chuckled: "I would like to see if the people from the Holy Sect dare to go to the Prince's Mansion and mess around?"
Hearing this, Dongfang Bai fell silent immediately.
The prince and the prince are two completely different concepts.
The prince is just the son of the emperor. The dragon gave birth to nine sons, each of whom is different.
Princes, who are valued, can become the king of a vassal, or the lord of a vassal. Those who are not valued are just members of the royal family with a better status and background.
But the prince is different. The prince is the foundation of the country.
The prince's status can be said to be the highest among people besides the emperor, queen and queen mother.
It is a symbol of national status and a future emperor.
Touching a prince may cause the Ming Emperor to become furious and send troops to strangle the Holy Sect.
And if a prince is moved, even if the emperor does not want to touch the Holy Sect, the next day the memorials of conquering the Holy Sect will be piled up on the desk of the imperial study, because this is a slap in the face of the entire Ming Dynasty.
"What do you want?" Liu Yuming spoke again. Facing this biological daughter who was full of guilt, she was really helpless.
"I want to marry Zhu Youji, and he promised me that I will not be a concubine, but will live together in the name of my sister, and we will be treated as equal wives."
"I also want to make him a promise. We will both prosper and suffer together."
Liu Ruyan looked at Liu Yuming, her eyes full of stubbornness and seriousness, and said word by word: "If something happens to him, I will never live alone!"
These words were so powerful that they felt like a huge stone pressing hard on Liu Yuming's chest, making her breathless.
Liu Yuming looked at his daughter and was speechless for a moment.
Dongfang Bai also looked at this stubborn woman with some surprise. She didn't expect that Zhu Youji had such a confidante and would rather live and die together?
He is so lucky!
After a long silence, Liu Yuming spoke slowly with a slightly hoarse voice: "Give me something to think about."
"Okay." Liu Ruyan nodded. She was already very satisfied with her mother's promise.
She also knew that it was unrealistic to convince two people at once, so just take it step by step.
"Then I'll take my leave first. Get ready and move to the East Palace today."
Liu Ruyan reminded her, picked up the hem of her clothes, and turned to leave.
Liu Yuming looked at Liu Ruyan's leaving figure with complicated eyes.
After Liu Ruyan walked out of the courtyard, Dongfang Bai said tentatively: "Elder Liu, who is Miss Liu?"
"Yes, my daughter." Liu Yuming did not hide anything and admitted it generously.
"As expected." Dongfang Bai nodded slightly. He was not surprised by this explanation. After a moment of silence, he asked, "Elder Liu, what do you mean?"
"Holy Girl, if I choose to be attached and repay what I owe her, what will the Holy Sect do?" Liu Yuming did not answer, but asked a question.
After hearing this, Dongfang Bai thought for a while and shook his head: "I don't know, Elder Liu, personally, I support your choice, but as a saint, you want to leave the holy sect and join the imperial court. This is Betrayal is not something I say, it needs to be decided jointly by the Holy Sect Elders."
"Well, I understand." Liu Yuming nodded and said nothing more.
…
The imperial city, the worship hall, deep in the inner courtyard.
Under the leadership of the eldest princess Yongkang, the Queen Mother and the two entered this mysterious palace full of gossip patterns.
"Master, I'm here with the Queen Mother." Yongkang looked at the figure not far away and suddenly shouted.
Hearing Yongkang's voice, the figure did not move, but a pair of eyes full of vicissitudes of life lit up, shining brightly like pearls in the dark, looking directly at the two of them.
"Queen Mother, please sit down."
The voice was hoarse and old, as if it hadn't been spoken for a long time. It was extremely stiff and made people feel a little uncomfortable.
"Palace Master, the Ai family won't sit down anymore. If you have anything to do, just tell me directly." The Queen Mother did not sit down, but looked at this figure and said.
"good."
The palace master did not dwell on this trivial matter, and slowly said: "I... have been sleeping for a long time, and I have been feeling groggy. I can't remember many memories from my dreams clearly, but... I just suddenly remembered a fragment. …”
After hearing the words of the palace master, the Queen Mother was a little confused and looked at the eldest princess Yongkang on the side, her eyes full of questions.
Yongkang knew what the Empress Dowager meant, and quickly explained in a low voice: "Empress Dowager, Master, he can master the two miraculous skills of Sleeping Arhat Fist and Sleeping Dream Fairy. With the cooperation of each other, you can practice martial arts in your sleep and improve your cultivation. At certain times,
, he can also see predictions of the future, and generally speaking, the dreams he deduces will become reality."
The Queen Mother nodded, and she understood. This is similar to divination of celestial phenomena, only more accurate.
After the two talked, the palace master's voice reached their ears again.
When the two people heard the content clearly, their expressions changed drastically, as if they had fallen into an ice cellar.
"I saw the collapse of the imperial city, the invasion of the four kingdoms, and the Tatar cavalry entering the hinterland of the Central Plains and conquering the capital..."
