The Lord who use immortals as food

Pei Ye once again carefully visited every corner of the palace, probably knowing that this would have no results.

If there really is such a spiritual realm that has been passed down from ancient times, then people who have entered it by mistake must have unintentionally fulfilled some of its requirements. Hundreds of millions of people have been walking and living on this land for thousands of years. The Immortal Platform searched with all its strength and found it. There are only a few legends.

So before knowing what this request is, perhaps no one can get a glimpse of its true appearance.

He turned around and came back, shaking his head at the little maid who was leaning against the wall. The girl was a little discouraged, but she didn't look surprised.

"I think it's definitely not that easy. There must be something we haven't found yet."

Pei Ye originally just took a look around today to understand. He was still unfamiliar with the background of the entire case and the palace, and did not expect to grasp any key clues as soon as he arrived.

At this time, he leaned back against the wall and did not refute. He just said: "You said you wanted to go to Deep Lake City to find the passage? Why do you want to go there?"

"It's not to go to Shenhu City, but to leave the city." Meng'er corrected.

"Why are you leaving the city?"

Meng'er hesitated for a moment, then closed her mouth and stopped talking.

"What does it matter if you leave the city faster or slower? Why come here to find a passage." Pei Ye leaned on his sword and said, "Although it sounds fun, it is dangerous after all, and your limbs are inconvenient - and isn't this a forbidden area?"

Meng'er was stunned and looked up at him: "What are you talking about?"

"Let's go out of the city. You can't wait more than a few hours by car and horse. Don't come here again to find any rumors." Pei Ye tilted his head and said, "Find some other interesting things - is it that your Sixth Prince refuses to take you out of the city? ?”

Meng'er looked at him with a strange expression: "You... what are you talking about? Your Highness, how could she... how could the prince and princess leave the Shenjing City?"

"...W-what?"

"Your Highness is the princess. The emperor's son who is pregnant with the Qilin blood... can never leave the capital," Meng'er said seriously when Pei Ye was stunned. "Your Highnesses carry the holy blood and cannot leave the Qilin Holy God." "

"..."

"It's because I can't take His Highness out of the city." Meng'er whispered, "The snow is clear and Hu Tian is still wrangling horses... Lord Pei, have you ever seen such a scene?"

"...No." Pei Ye paused, "But I will check it out later."

"Yes!" The girl nodded vigorously and said with a smile, "Your Highness and I will definitely be able to see it too! - I will come back when the snow melts, and sooner or later we will find the road."

He added: "Thank you for caring about Mr. Pei. I know this is a forbidden area, but I will be careful not to be caught by the fish inspector."

Pei Ye frowned: "Is Yu Sicheng? What will happen if you are caught?"

"Why did you... call the fish inspector by name?" Meng'er's face was startled, "You were caught..."

She paused and looked down at the leg with wooden limbs. She said nothing and her face turned pale.

Pei Ye frowned: "Why are you missing this leg?"

"..." Meng'er was silent for a while and whispered, "It was four years ago when I first heard about that rumor, and then I wanted to come to this palace to have a look at night... But at that time, I was young and clumsy. , and was caught.”

"Then the execution broke my leg. Later during the treatment, the doctor said that the bones and tendons were broken, so I had to amputate it."

"...Just," Pei Ye just stared at her for a while, "Just because of this, I broke your leg?...Where is Li Youlong? Aren't you her personal attendant?"

"It has nothing to do with His Highness!" Meng'er frowned and said seriously, "I hid it from her... His Highness was two years younger than me at that time, only twelve years old."

She paused, looked up to the sky and recalled in a low voice: "When I was sent back that night, the lights were dark in the palace. His Highness's hair was messy, his body was covered with dirt, his shoes were missing, and his eyes were swollen from crying inside. . She hugged me and said that she ran to the Emperor to plead for mercy, but she could not find His Majesty. She asked the palace people she saw on the road to take her to find them, but no one dared to respond... She ran alone in the palace. It’s getting dark and I don’t know what to do.”

"Alas, it's actually a good thing I didn't find it. His Majesty doesn't come to the harem on weekdays, and he never comes to visit His Highness. If I bother you for such a trivial matter..." Meng'er sighed softly and said nothing more.

"Li Youlong, isn't he one of the candidates for succession?"

"Yes, His Highness has excellent Lin blood and is qualified to compete for the throne, so he was given the Qingsi Palace." She glanced at the young man and said, "Ah, I know what you mean. Yes, His Highness has a very high status, but... ...Rules are rules, and...Your Majesty has many children, maybe one or two is not important...Well, I don’t really understand.”

"...So you were caught last time and suffered such torture," Pei Ye frowned in a low voice. He became much more serious. "Why do you dare to climb over the palace wall again?"

"Ah, don't worry, now I already know when someone is patrolling," the girl said, "and I found a place, from where I walked into the forest and walked around to Mingyue Palace, no one would notice at all. I have been here several times …”

"It's not a question of whether anyone found out." Pei Ye frowned and looked at her, "It's just that you came here looking for something meaningless - you heard a rumor and didn't know what you were looking for, just to 'leave the city'? Don’t you think it’s ridiculous? This is not a joke, you will lose your life!”

"Everyone has only one life. Are you going to waste it on something like this?" he emphasized.

"..."

"I don't know...why you think it's funny and wasteful." The girl was silent for a moment, then raised her sparrow-like eyes to look at him, "Your Highness and I have wanted to go out and see Shili since we were children. Go and see if the scenery described is really like that... Of course, maybe you think it’s not a big deal... Then there’s no need to laugh at us.”

"..."

"..."

"Feel sorry."

"Hehehe, it doesn't matter. We just met. I know you are a good person." The girl smiled.

Pei Ye also smiled and said, "If you want to come in next time, you can call me and I will take you in."

Meng'er opened her eyes wide: "Really...can you do it?"

"Well, I'll just say that you are my temporary assistant." Pei Ye said, "It's not a lie. Since you are staring at this palace, you might as well tell me what you know."

"What's going on?" The girl beamed with joy.

"Everything in the palace is fine, whatever you think is relevant." Pei Ye said, "I don't know anything."

"Well... about this palace... I know that His Highness Jinyang often ran in when he was a child." Meng'er said.

"..."

"Because no one cares about her anyway. The other princes and princesses don't dare to do it, let alone the palace people."

"...Will His Highness Jinyang run in by himself?"

"Yes, I discovered it when I came here for the first time. There is an entrance and exit the size of a dog hole under the wall at the back." Meng'er hugged the wooden limb, "I also tried it, but unfortunately it was too small, so I could only Children of six or seven years old, come in."

Having said this, she paused for a while and looked at Pei Ye hesitantly: "Um, Lord Pei, I don't know if I should ask...what is your relationship with His Highness Jinyang?"

"She sent me to the palace to investigate the case, and I helped her with the affairs. That's it."

"Oh...anyway...His Royal Highness Jinyang is an anomaly in the palace. Everyone in Zhujing Palace usually keeps tabs on this in private...Please remember to pay more attention."

"Alien? Why?"

"I can't say why, but your Highness Jinyang is the only bloodline of the late queen, right?" Meng'er hesitated, "Now in the queen's mother's palace, she is always alone, and she doesn't come to any banquets. She often Ridu stayed in the Zhujing Palace, wearing a mask... There was no lady in the palace, it was dark and cold, and the palace people did not dare to have anything to do with her. Moreover..."

Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!

"And what?"

"And... well, I said the disrespectful words to thank you for letting me go. I didn't mean to set things up for Your Highness. I won't say it on weekdays." Meng'er explained with some worry, as if she didn't want to become a gossip. The palace maid continued, "Furthermore, I heard that His Highness Jinyang was a crazy child when he was young...possessed of evil spirits or hysteria..."

Pei Ye frowned, remembering the formidable figure they had talked with this morning: "I'm afraid this is a bit nonsense."

"Oh, it's true." Meng'er frowned and said, "It was the old lady who guided me. She said that His Highness Jinyang couldn't dress well no matter how old he was, nor could he learn etiquette. He was slovenly and motionless. She just ran around without saying a word, talking vaguely to the empty space next to her, raising her head and laughing and making noise... Sometimes it happened suddenly at night, which made her feel cold and frightened. "

"..."

"Anyway, that's how the late queen... was punished to death. People say that His Highness Jinyang also has the blood of the Demon Queen in his body... There are rumors and so on. In short, this is a big taboo in the palace. Remember some."

"...but His Highness Jinyang is also the chosen one."

"Yes, of course, but her blood is mediocre, so I'm afraid she won't have a chance."

Pei Ye was stunned: "Mediocre?"

"Yes." The girl said something very common, "The one with the strongest Lin blood is His Highness the Fourth, followed by His Highness the Second, then His Highness the Sixth and His Highness the Third, then His Highness the Ninth, and finally His Highness Jinyang... …When Lin’s blood was tested when he was six years old, His Highness Jinyang reluctantly came in, but he was indeed the last.”

"But, nowadays, in terms of power, His Highness Jinyang is a very prominent one." Pei Ye was slightly stunned. He didn't know for sure, but of course he believed in Xu Chuo's judgment. "It's probably because she was fighting with His Highness the Fourth Highness. ”

"I don't know what's going on outside." Meng'er was a little confused, "But it is indeed like this in the palace... Moreover, no matter how powerful the power is, what's the use? In the end, the heir must be selected according to the Linxue point. ”

Pei Ye was silent for a moment. He didn't understand the common sense in the palace, and naturally he didn't know what the Highness was thinking in his mind. He could only press it temporarily.

Meng'er turned her head and asked curiously: "What kind of cat is this cat you have? It's so beautiful and well-behaved...can I pet it?"

Pei Ye glanced over his shoulder, and the black cat looked at him calmly.

"...You can see it, but you can't touch it." Pei Liye said without changing his expression, "This is the magical cat I use to investigate cases. It will malfunction when others touch it."

"...Oh." Meng'er seemed to understand.

Pei Ye raised his head and took a look. The sun was starting to go to the west. He put away his sword and stood up and said, "Let's go. Didn't you come out secretly? I'll send you out of here."

"Ah, yes! I almost forgot the time." Meng'er quickly stood up holding on to the wall and followed Pei Ye who went out with his sword.

When she arrived in front of the locked door, Meng'er suddenly felt a little expectant and said a little embarrassedly: "Um...you are a martial artist, right? Do you want to lead me over?"

Pei Ye pulled out the jade tiger and cut it with a loud chop, disconnected the door lock, looked back at her, pulled off the chain and put it aside.

"Go through the door by yourself from now on."

"...Thank you, Mr. Pei." Meng'er followed lightly and heavily, feeling a little moved and a little disappointed.

He added seriously: "Your sword is also very beautiful."

The two of them left the forest and continued along the Taiye Pond. After passing the garden, there was a continuous palace. According to Meng'er's pointer, the Zhujing Palace stood alone in the northeast corner, behind a lonely garden.

The direction of Qingsi Palace is also similar. The two of them walked together under the vermilion palace wall, which stretched to the end of a snow tree. At this moment, there was a noise in the alley next to it, accompanied by the crisp laughter of children, and a small The red coat stumbled out and bumped into Pei Ye's leg.

"ah!"

With a childish voice, Pei Ye raised his sword to support her leaning body. She was a cute little girl named Yuxue. She was holding a small net bag in her hand and a small green pendant hanging on her chest. She was only six or seven years old. She looks like a little Yuanxiao with her round face. At this time, he raised his head with wide eyes and looked at him blankly.

Pei Ye held her up with his sword, and then a few busy maids chased her out from the alley behind. Pei Ye was stunned for a moment when he saw Pei Ye wearing a sword. Beside him, Meng'er already bowed and saluted, "Meng'er, the maid of Qingsi Palace, would like to say hello to His Highness, Eleventh Prince."

Only then did Pei Ye realize that he took a step back and bowed: "I have met His Highness Eleven."

The little girl stood upright, nodded, and said in a childish voice, "Well, no need to do this."

He immediately ran forward again and shouted: "I'm going to catch red carp! You are lying, there is no water here, only there is water over there!"

The faces of the several palace maids behind him were visibly embarrassed and worried. One bent down to persuade, one was coaxing from behind, and one was winking at the people behind as if to ask someone to come... Pei Ye soon knew why, and the girl ran away. The direction is exactly the Zhujing Palace that people avoid.

"This is the youngest emperor in the palace, His Highness Wuyan." Meng'er also looked at him with a smile, "He is only six years old... he is the cutest."
