Chapter 407: Threats and Negotiations

Seeing Su Ruoxi's puzzled look, the flower-skinned demon couldn't help but say, "Xiao Xi'er, do you really want to stay here?" ”

He didn't want Su Ruoxi to meet Mu Zihan again, and he didn't want her to stay in this palace, so the best way, /xshuotxt/com

Su Ruoxi nodded and responded, "I can't leave now!" ”

Since Mu Zihan is coming, she can't leave.

"But ......"

Before the flowery demon wanted to say something, a shrill voice of a eunuch suddenly came from outside the house, "The emperor has arrived!" ”

Hearing that Xuanyuan Yumo was coming, Su Ruoxi looked at the flower-skinned demon nervously and said, "You hide first, don't be discovered by him." ”

The flower-skinned demon's eyes were cold when he looked outside the house, but he still chose to hide.

As soon as Su Ruoxi let the flower demon leave, the door of the room was pushed open.

"It's a pity, what are you doing with the door closed in broad daylight?"

Xuanyuan Yumo walked in with a radiant look on his face, and his face couldn't hide his joy.

"I was going to sleep for a while, but I didn't expect the emperor to come."

"Seeing the emperor in high spirits, is there anything happy about it?"

Xuanyuan Yumo glanced inside the room, walked over to Su Ruoxi and said, "I have good news for you." ”

"Oh? What's the good news? ”

Su Ruoxi asked curiously, wondering if it was related to Mu Zihan's matter?

Xuanyuan Yumo smiled and explained, "Today in the imperial court, I have already told the courtiers about the new priest. ”

"The minister of the court and the central government will not investigate the past mistakes of the Yin and Yang family, and even hope that you can serve as the new high priest."

"Now, as long as you nod your head in agreement, you won't be hindered in any way. And the Yin and Yang family can also restore its former glory. ”

Listening to what Xuanyuan Yumo said turned out to be this matter, Su Ruoxi thought about it.

How did she feel that this was not really good news for her?

She had a feeling that she was being threatened by Xuanyuan Yumo.

Now that the ministers of the court and the central government have known about this matter, if she does not agree, it will be a confrontation with the entire court.

Then even if she leaves the palace, I am afraid that she will not have a place in Cangyue Country.

Thinking of this, Su Ruoxi couldn't help frowning.

However, in front of Xuanyuan Yumo, she didn't show it, but said with a smile: "It's really bothering the emperor, but I also have good news to tell the emperor." ”

"Oh? What is the news, tell me about it? ”

Xuanyuan Yumo looked at Su Ruoxi happily, and with that shrewd look, it seemed that he had already expected what Su Ruoxi would say.

Su Ruoxi paused and said, "I've already thought about it!" I'm going to stay and become the new High Priest! ”

As soon as these words came out, Xuanyuan Yumo's face immediately showed unconcealed joy.

"Pity, really? That's great! ”

Xuanyuan Yumo clapped his hands happily and walked back and forth in the house a few times.

"I must tell the Queen Mother this good news!"

"The emperor is not in a hurry, the queen mother will know sooner or later!"

Seeing that Xuanyuan Yumo was in a panic and wanted to inform the Queen Mother, Su Ruoxi stopped him and asked him to sit down and talk slowly.

"Your Majesty, although I promised to stay, I have two conditions, I hope the emperor can agree."

Su Ruoxi thought about it very clearly, becoming a high priest, there will be a canonization ceremony, and only by accepting the canonization ceremony can she completely and truly have the same ability as her mother.

When she had the power of a priest, no one could help her.

"If it's a pity, you say! As long as I can do it, I will promise you. ”

After receiving Xuanyuan Yumo's promise, Su Ruoxi nodded and said, "First, after I become a high priest, no one is allowed to restrict my freedom. ”

"That's no problem! As long as you don't leave the Cangyue Country, I can guarantee that no one will restrict your freedom. ”

Hearing Xuanyuan Yumo's words, Su Ruoxi smiled coldly, "Your Majesty, your words have already been restricted. ”

If you can't leave Cangyue Country, then what's the point of this freedom.

"However, you are my high priest of Cangyue, no matter what the circumstances, you can't leave Cangyue."

Xuanyuan Yumo's emotions were a little excited, as if there was something hidden.

"Why?"

Su Ruo looked at Xuanyuan Yumo in bewilderment, wanting to get a reasonable explanation.

"It's a pity, do you know that if you become a new priest, you will be subject to an ancient curse of Cangyue."

"That ancient curse is that if you leave the Cangyue Country, or if your heart betrays the Cangyue Kingdom, then you will grow old faster and die."

Su Ruoxi's face changed, and she didn't know that there was such a statement in it.

However, she wouldn't fully believe Xuanyuan Yumo's words, because she felt that even if this ancient spell was true, there must be a way to crack it.

Because in her impression, her mother was not affected by this ancient curse.

Therefore, Su Ruoxi no longer continued to entangle this issue with Xuanyuan Yumo, so as not to arouse Xuanyuan Yumo's suspicion.

"That's good! Now let's talk about the second condition! ”

"Well, what's the second condition?"

"The second condition is that after I become the new high priest, I will only be responsible for the affairs of the vestibule, not interfering in the harem, and never stepping into the harem again."

She knew that the priest would have his own mansion in the capital, so he would not have to live in the palace.

She said this to avoid that Xuanyuan Yumo would one day include her in the harem.

"This ......"

Speaking of this question, Xuanyuan Yumo seemed a little hesitant.

He could guess what Su Ruoxi was worried about.

However, if he didn't agree, I'm afraid Su Ruoxi would not agree to serve as a priest.

Soon, Mu Zihan will come to Cangyue to renew the covenant as the emperor of the Northern Qi Kingdom, and he must keep Su Ruoxi before Mu Zihan arrives.

"If it's a pity, let's talk about this issue later, okay?"

After hesitating for a moment, Xuanyuan Yumo still couldn't agree immediately.

Su Ruoxi shook her head and said, "The emperor wants to delay time, it doesn't matter, when will we talk about this matter, and when will I consider serving as a priest?" ”

"If you're threatening me?"

Xuanyuan Yumo showed a trace of displeasure, no one had ever dared to negotiate conditions with him like this, or even threatened.

Su Ruoxi spread his hands indifferently and replied: "This is a fair negotiation, if the emperor feels that it is a threat, maybe he is not willing to talk about the second condition, then we will not talk about it." ”

"What we say today is as if we never said it."

"It's just that I think it's strange that the second condition should be simpler for the emperor than the first, I don't know what the emperor is embarrassed about?"

Being asked by Su Ruoxi, Xuanyuan Yumo's face suddenly sank, showing a trace of unhappiness.
