Chapter 99 099: The Prince's Thoughts

In a short period of time, Daoist Xue has subdued more than ten evil spirits.

It didn't take long to find Chu Ye and others.

However, that group of imperial guards were contaminated with resentment, lost their minds, and slashed with a knife.

Chu Ye has a peace talisman on his body, so resentment cannot infect him.

Some of the imperial guards were tough, full of righteousness, and not corroded by resentment, and the two groups were fighting fiercely.

Of course, Ye Chengyan and others couldn't see what was going on.

"It's not good, some people are disturbed by resentment." Daoist Xue held a dust whisk in his hand, swooped in front of him, and beat those who were infected with resentment one by one.

Ye Chengyan had experienced this before, so he wasn't too surprised.

After the grievances from those imperial guards were whipped out, they fainted to the ground.

Chu Ye was stained with a lot of blood, panting for breath, he hurriedly stepped forward to thank him: "Thank you Daoist for your help."

Because he was a colleague, he didn't kill him, which led to endless coping.

His strength has been almost exhausted, without the help of the Taoist priest, he is afraid that he will start a massacre.

"Catching ghosts and eliminating demons is the duty of the poor, and the general does not need to thank you." Daoist Xue continued the same rhetoric, "The evil spirits on the mountain have been eliminated, and the poor will bid farewell."

Ye Chengyan came out in a hurry, so naturally he didn't bring any money or bank notes.

He immediately took out a jade pendant as a thank you gift.

Daoist Xue didn't take a look, his expression remained the same, "Poverty cultivator, never be swayed by these things, this jade pendant is too precious, if His Royal Highness wants to give you a reward, you only need to give one tael of silver."

Only one tael of silver?
Ye Chengyan couldn't help but recall that when Chu Nanli entered the palace to save her, her father rewarded her with a large box of gold, and she happily accepted it.

There are differences between people, but I didn't expect that the differences among ascetics are even greater.

Immediately, he felt respect, and said: "This Yuanqiu Mountain is the hunting ground of the royal family. Thieves can be guarded against, but evil ghosts and resentful spirits are not easy to guard against. I don't know if Chang Ke is willing to help the prince and set up a magic circle on Yuanqiu Mountain. Make sure that the evil ghosts and resentful spirits will not come to invade again?"

"Pindao has a predestined relationship with His Highness the Crown Prince, so I can help you a little bit." Daoist Xue agreed, "As for the reward, His Highness the Crown Prince only needs to give three taels of silver."

Ye Chengyan smiled, "Then there will be Daoist Lao."

That night, Ye Chengyan invited Daoist Xue to go to the Hunting Palace, planning to survey Yuanqiu Mountain tomorrow, and then try his best.

Although Chu Ye was rescued by Daoist Xue, he was very cautious.

After washing and changing clothes, it was already late at night, and Chu Ye still went to see Ye Chengyan.

The lights in the room were brightly lit, reflecting Ye Chengyan's handsome face.

He was looking at the official document without raising his head, "It's so late, what's the matter with General Xiaoqi?"

"I will ask Daoist Xue to set up the magic circle. I will eventually feel that it is inappropriate." Chu Ye said seriously, "Your Highness, although Daoist Xue is helping today, he has not yet found out his origin, so it cannot be reused."

You know, when the time comes, the emperor, empress, princes and ministers will come to Yuanqiu Mountain, so there must be no mistakes.

"Don't worry, the Crown Prince has already asked about his origin, and sent Liang Han to investigate." Ye Chengyan said.

Chu Ye was still worried, and said: "Since we have to find ways to fight, the general can let his sixth younger sister come here. His Royal Highness has also seen how powerful she is."

Unexpectedly, Ye Chengyan's face suddenly turned cold.

"Chu Ye, it's not that you don't know that your six younger sisters sell a talisman for tens of taels of silver." Ye Chengyan pulled the corner of his mouth, showing a faint sarcasm, "Set up a magic circle in Yuanqiu Mountain It takes time and effort, how can she help without 8000 taels? You should also know that the crown prince can't mobilize much money."

Chu Ye was also dissatisfied when he heard the words, "If the sixth younger sister of the last general is useless, then I will definitely reprimand her for asking too much price, but the sixth younger sister's talisman is very effective, and it also blocked the eyes of the magic circle in the palace. 8000 taels is obviously a fair price."

Although he respected the prince, he couldn't tolerate Ye Chengyan's mocking of Ali.

The bones of Ye Chengyan's fingers holding the official documents turned white.

His voice squeezed out between his teeth: "But Miss Chu Liu is engaged to the emperor's uncle now, and she will soon be the aunt of the prince. How can the prince dare to ask her to do something. In short, you just need to listen to the prince's orders and you will be ready to go." But, you don't need to talk about other things."

Speaking of this, the crown prince already had the intention of apologizing, so Chu Ye couldn't say much about it.

He pursed his lips and left.

Ye Chengyan was a little annoyed, and threw official documents on the case.

The valet hurriedly said, "His Royal Highness calm down."

"My sixth younger sister climbed up the tall branch, and he, Chu Ye, also got up following the other person." Ye Chengyan said coldly.

"Your Highness, General Xiaoqi is also worried." The servant said, "Indeed, asking Miss Six for help is much more trustworthy than that Daoist Xue."

"The prince never knew." Ye Chengyan gritted his molars, "It's not about the money, but her engagement with the emperor's uncle. If she makes contributions now, the emperor's uncle will follow suit."

The servant was shocked, "Your Highness is afraid..."

Ye Chengyan glanced at him faintly, "When the Japanese prince wanted to match her with my cousin, who would have thought that my cousin didn't mean that. If Uncle Nine Emperors was still a cripple, the prince wouldn't mind so much, but now... Chu Nan Li actually helped Uncle Nine Emperors break the curse and let him stand up again, if this prince doesn't consolidate his power, will this prince still be able to sit firmly?"

Hearing this, the servant was also frightened.

But he still swallowed, and said: "Your Highness, there is no need to panic. If the Ninth Prince really meant this, he should have acted two years ago."

Ye Chengyan said: "That's because of the imperial grandfather's plan! The imperial father has been the heir apparent for so many years, even if Uncle Nine Emperors wanted to usurp the throne, it would not be so easy, and at that time the grandfather died, and Uncle Nine Emperors was fighting outside. Even if he is thoughtful, he still has no skills."

But he is different, the father is in his prime, he is in good health, he does not need him as a prince to assist the government.

Naturally, he was also unable to establish his own power. The people in the cabinet and the six ministries were all loyal to the emperor, not to him, the crown prince.

Now he needs to cultivate his own power and make some achievements in front of his father and ministers before he can secure his position.

Never let Uncle Nine Emperors get another chance!
The servant understood Ye Chengyan's plan, and said: "Your Highness is wise, the Ninth Prince must guard against it."

Because Ye Siheng is not only literary and martial arts, but also very young.

When Emperor Mu Wu passed away, Ye Chengyan might not be able to hold Ye Siheng down at that time, so it's time to make plans now.

In fact, Ye Chengyan's idea is very simple, if Daoist Xue is available, then he can recommend Daoist Xue as the national teacher, and then the father will not have to think of Chu Nanli in everything.

This is of great benefit to him.

Within two days, Liang Han came back.

He has already inquired carefully, Taoist Xue Cheng's name is Xue Cheng, he is the Taoist priest of Sanqing Temple, and his seniority is higher than Mingxu's.
