Chapter Seventy-Five: The Identity of Kotohime
Kyoto, Nio's Palace
"You mean, that Yan Nai left you behind and ran away on his own?" Nioh asked as he played with the folding fan in his hand without lifting his eyelids. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"He didn't run! I'm just going to practice! Kagura frowned slightly and emphasized that two days after Yan Nai left, Nioh's commission was handed over to them, and the first thing they said when they met was to ask why Yan Nai didn't come.
"That is, I left you behind and went to practice, anyway, didn't I leave you behind?" Nioh didn't care about Kagura's attitude, but corrected his own statement, although he literally emphasized the issue of leaving them behind.
"I wonder what His Royal Highness Nioh's commission is this time?" Shiro didn't seem to have the leisure to chew words with Nioh at all, and asked straight to the point about the content of the commission.
"Actually, it's not a commission, it's just that Her Royal Highness Kotohime wants to see Yan Nai, but now it seems that he can't see it." Nioh shrugged his shoulders and said with a relaxed expression, as if the matter had nothing to do with him.
"In that case, let's take our leave." Shiro bowed respectfully towards Nioh and prepared to leave with Kagura.
"Where is he now?" As soon as the two of them turned around, they saw Kotohime standing at the door of the lobby, staring directly at the two of them, and Yingcao standing beside her.
"We don't know, he left a note and disappeared, His Royal Highness Qin Ji has something to do with him?" Shiro was a little surprised when he saw Kotohime, but he quickly returned to normal and replied lightly.
"I want to see what this Onmyoji who has Mu Bai's spiritual power and also has a great tengu looks like!" Kotohime said with a determined gaze.
At this time, Bai found that her eyes were brighter than when they first met, and he asked in surprise, "Your eyes?!" However, as soon as he asked, he looked at Yingcao beside Qin Ji again, and seemed to suddenly understand something, so he suddenly realized, "I see, but we really don't know where Yan Nai is now, and we are looking for him everywhere." ”
"In that case, then I'll go find him myself." Kotohime turned away without looking back, and Yingcao followed closely behind her.
Bai immediately turned to look at Nioh behind him, "You just let her leave the palace like this?" ”
"What else? I couldn't stop her. Nioh shrugged his shoulders and said innocently, as if Kotohime had forced him away.
"What the hell are you thinking?" Shiro frowned, and asked very vigilantly, since Nioh wants to involve them in this political struggle, it must be to prepare for the battle for the throne, in other words, whether it is Kotohime or their actions, they must be under Nioh's control.
And now, Kotohime is leaving the palace to find Yan Nai, is this also what Nioh expected, or did he do it on purpose?
"What can I do, I'm desperate! Originally, I was referring to you as my fighting power for the throne! As a result, now one has run away, and Her Royal Highness Qin Ji has chased after him, what can I do? His Royal Highness's words seemed to be full of helplessness, but his expression was so relaxed that one could not believe it at all, which was beyond his expectations.
"And what are you going to do now?" Bai asked in a low voice, now he couldn't figure out what this Highness Nioh wanted to do.
At the beginning, Shiro didn't take Nioh to heart, in the entire Kyoto City, one of the two princes who competed for the throne the most was the eldest prince, and the other was the third prince, and Nioh's status in Kyoto was at most similar to that of other princes, so there was really not much hope for the throne.
And now, he faintly feels that this Niwang is not simple, first of all, there will be the ancient building that seals Kotohime in his house, this matter alone is already incredible, you know, the ancient building that seals Kotohime has always been located in the imperial city of Kyoto City! How did Nioh manage to move the ancient building to his own house?!
You know, although Qin Ji has been sealed in the ancient tower, but her status has never wavered, hundreds of years ago, Qin Ji was accepted into the palace as the crown princess, even if she loved the emperor Mu Bai, the prince did not take it to heart, still loved her wholeheartedly.
Even if she became a monster because of Huangfu Mubai, he ordered that she should not be hurt in the slightest, so the onmyoji only sealed her at the beginning, and after moving the capital to Kyoto, he built a dormitory for Kotohime and sealed it in the dormitory, and that dormitory was the ancient building in Nioh's mansion.
There are not many concubines around him, but in the end, no one was sealed, and the reason is because of Qin Ji, in his heart, Qin Ji is his only wife, and the only woman who can be sealed, although the ministers tried their best to persuade him to stand up, he never adopted, and in the end, in order to stop the mouths of the ministers who would bother him every day, he actually directly set up Qin Ji as the queen!
This caused a lot of shock in the government and the opposition at that time, and the voices of opposition were endless, the mother of the dignified Ying Empire was actually a monster, no matter where it was placed, it was a big joke! The ministers would not have agreed to such a ridiculous thing happening, so they did everything in their power to prevent it.
They wrote a joint letter, they invited the onmyoji to persuade them, and they knelt outside the palace for three days and three nights, but all this did not change the mind of the monarch who loved Qin Ji deeply, and she finally became the mother of the Ying Empire......
It is such a special identity, even after hundreds of years, Kotohime still has a decisive influence on the Ying Empire, but after all, she is a monster, and no prince dares to risk her life and use her as a tool for himself to compete for the throne, but Nioh chose this method to fight.
"What to do? How do I know that she's a monster and I'm just an ordinary human, what can I do? Nioh said this with a nonchalant expression, and it was not at all that he felt helpless, but felt as if he had already arranged everything.
"Your Royal Highness, aren't you really afraid that Kotohime will not be controlled?" Bai stared straight at him with fierce eyes.
"That's why I said, I don't know what to do! She can do whatever she likes! Okay, I still have to go to see my father, so please do it! Nioh said and got up to leave.
"Let's go." Not long after Nioh left, Shiro sighed lightly and left Nioh's Mansion with Kagura, although Nioh had a blank expression on his face, but his intuition told him that Nioh was not the kind of person who had no plans, and he must have something planned in his heart!
