Chapter 388: The Imperial City Takes the Throne 42
The high priest wore a white priest's robe inlaid with gold threads, which made him look like a fairy.
Because of his dazzling appearance and long golden hair, even if it was the bright moon in the sky, he shyly hid in the dark clouds, and the maids in the prince's mansion saw him The moment they saw him, their hearts were rippling and their eyes were confused.
The high priest was smiling, and under the guidance of the little servant, he came to Luo Jia's study.
As soon as he entered the room, his eyes instantly focused, falling on Qiu Yue who was standing beside Luo Jia, the corners of his lips were slightly upturned, and he looked very happy.
The high priest felt a little regretful in his heart, and shouted that this little girl was a good material for cultivating into a white-eyed wolf.
Luo Jia naturally also noticed the high priest's gaze, he swept his gaze to Qiu Yue, and then turned around, seeing that the high priest was still looking at the other party, he couldn't help frowning, and said unhappily: "High priest, if this prince is not mistaken, you should rest in the other courtyard, right?" It's so late, how can it appear in the Prince's Mansion? ”
The high priest turned his head reluctantly, his gaze fell on the tea tray in front of Luo Jia, smiled gently, and said, "This priest is so far away, won't the prince invite me to a cup of tea?" ”
Luo Jia's heart, who was directly ignored, jumped, he glanced at the high priest vigilantly, and then said, "Come on, serve tea." ”
As soon as the words fell, the villain standing outside was about to serve tea, but who knows, the high priest stopped the subordinates outside the house, pointed to the tea tray in front of Luo Jia and smiled, "Don't be so troublesome." Isn't there a ready-made one here? ”
Luo Jia's eyelids also jumped, his eyebrows furrowed, his fingers seemed to tap on the table unintentionally, and he was about to speak, but Qiu Yue took the first step and said, "This, let me come." ”
As he spoke, Qiu Yue stepped forward, picked up the teapot, and took out the teacup that was set aside. A cup of tea was made for the high priest.
The High Priest smiled. Seeing that Qiu Yue's eyes were also shining, he took the teacup handed over by Qiu Yue and said, "Thank you." ”
"You're welcome." Qiu Yue's attitude was already very cold.
The high priest didn't care whether Qiu Yue's attitude was cold or not, he drank all the tea Qiu Yue gave him. Didn't put down the teacup immediately. Instead, he praised it lavishly: "Good tea." Qiu Yue's skills in making tea are really good. ”
"This tea was made by a maid, and I just poured it." Qiu Yue unceremoniously interrupted the High Priest's words, and the smile on the High Priest's face stiffened. There was a hint of unnaturalness on his handsome face.
"Haha, it's the same, as long as the mind arrives." The high priest began to round the field for himself, but it was very cold.
Luo Jia watched the interaction between Qiu Yue and the high priest, and always felt that something was not right between the two of them, this feeling of being kept in the dark was really unpleasant, and he said in an unkind tone: "The high priest hasn't answered my question yet!" ”
Qiu Yue also looked at him sideways, he was also curious about the high priest's sudden visit.
However, he will tell the truth, then it is not the high priest, as the head of the god stick, the level of fooling people is absolutely perfect, he has a fearless feeling of mercy for all beings, and said: "It was the gods who told me that the prince is very distressed now, in order to save the people of Li from fire and water, so I appear here, all of this is God's will." ”
The corners of Luo Jia's lips twitched visibly, he would believe that this man was telling the truth, he was so stupid.
Qiu Yue also frowned, although he knew that nine of the high priest's ten sentences were false, but at this time, he still came to fool people, he was too indifferent to the occasion, he subconsciously glanced at Luo Jia, and the other party's face was already black.
"Oh, I'm really distressed right now, so can you answer my questions, the high priest who saves the suffering?" Luo Jia sneered.
The high priest smiled faintly and nodded, as if he was willing to hear it.
The green tendons on Luo Jia's forehead came out, a faint murderous aura appeared in his eyes, and he still had a "kind" smile on his face, and asked: "I can't hide it, I'm worried about the whereabouts of the jade seal now, can the high priest tell me the whereabouts of the jade seal?" ”
"Since the prince has asked questions, of course this priest has to answer." As soon as the high priest said this, Luo Jia and Qiu Yue's eyes changed, and Luo Jia chuckled even more lightly, and threatened in a low voice: "High priest, do you know what happened to the person who deceived the prince?" ”
"This priest doesn't know." The High Priest shrugged his shoulders and said.
Luo Jia's smile deepened, "Since the high priest doesn't know, this prince doesn't mind if the high priest comes to experience it now." ”
"Oh?" The high priest raised his eyebrows, "When the prince said this, did he believe that this priest knew the whereabouts of the jade seal?" ”
"Do you want to say you know?!" Luo Jia slapped the table, the water in the teacup splashed, Qiu Yue was startled, and warned in a low voice, "Luo Jia, you calm down!" ”
Luo Jia's chest rose and fell, now when he saw the high priest, Luo Jia had a headache, don't think he didn't know, now the imperial city is full of turmoil, and it can't be separated from the high priest in front of him who can only fool people!
Damn faith, damn temples, these things, they should all be gone!
The high priest felt that after flickering for a while, Luo Jia was probably going crazy, he coughed lightly, and said, "If you want to get the whereabouts of the jade seal, you can go and ask someone." ”
Luo Jia's face still didn't improve, Qiu Yue glanced at him cautiously, and then echoed: "What person? ”
"Pingning." The High Priest said bluntly.
As soon as these words came out, Luo Jia's eyes almost burst into flames, he sneered, looked at the high priest, and asked, "High priest, you are idle, you came here to tease me, right?" ”
Feeling deeply innocent, the high priest shrugged his shoulders and said, "How could the prince think that? Do you think this is impossible? ”
"Then you want to say that Ping Ning colluded with Wei Xianzhong? High priest, do you want to pretend to be crazy and stupid, or do you want to take me for a fool? Don't you feel that your words are unconvincing? Luo Jia said angrily.
Pinnings? How could that powerless sister be favored by Wei Xianzhong? How could they want to compete for the throne?
"Haha, you see, even you don't believe it, do you?" The high priest smiled heartily.
Luo Jia's brows furrowed even deeper, his head was finally soothed for a while under Qiu Yue's massage just now, but now he was inserted by the high priest, and he felt pain again, he stroked his forehead, he didn't even have the strength to lose his temper, just shook his head, and said, "I won't pursue you today, but don't get carried away with me." “
"It seems that the prince really doesn't believe it." The high priest looked regretful, but he did not feel pity.
Qiu Yue's eyes narrowed, his eyes were firmly fixed on the high priest, his heterochromatic eyes were extremely deep, as if he was going to suck that person in, the high priest felt his gaze, looked at him again, and gave him a faint smile.
Qiu Yue retracted his gaze, walked to Luo Jia's side, whispered a few times in his ear, and said, "Luo Jia, this person is not lying. ”
Luo Jia was stunned, he looked up at Qiu Yue suddenly, and wondered, "Really? ”
Qiu Yue nodded solemnly and said, "Well, I already used my left eye to observe him just now, and this person is not lying." ”
At this moment, Luo Jia had to consider the possibility of an alliance between Ping Ning and Wei Xianzhong, after all, even Qiu Yue said so.
He lowered his head and pondered for a while before he said, "How can it be that girl from Pingning?" It's impossible. ”
"Isn't there a saying that the most unlikely thing is the most likely thing to happen?"
"Why haven't I heard that?" Luo Jia glanced coldly at the high priest and asked rhetorically.
The high priest was exposed, and he didn't feel embarrassed, he just smiled faintly, and said: "Because Wei Xianzhong is not a normal person in the first place, he is a madman, so thinking about the problem will definitely not be the same as ordinary people, if we want to gain insight into his thinking, we can't use ordinary thinking methods to measure him, right?" ”
"His so-called unusual idea is to find a Pingning who will never get the throne?"
The high priest raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why did the crown prince see that it was impossible for Pingning to get the throne?" ”
"Because she has no power, no status, but a widow with the name of a princess." Although it is a bit harsh to say this, I have to admit that this is the truth.
"What the prince said is indeed the truth." The High Priest nodded.
Luo Jialeng snorted and said, "Since you also know that this is the truth, then why do you dare to swear that the person who conspired with Wei Xianzhong is Ping Ning, what evidence do you have?" Or, what is your reason? ”
The high priest's calm face became more serious, and he said loudly: "What the crown prince said is indeed the key element of winning the throne, but the prince must not forget the two most important things to win the throne. ”
"The two most important things to take the throne?"
Luo Jia and Qiu Yue glanced at each other, then turned around and said, "Except for the jade seal, that is the emperor's decree." ”
Both are equally important, and now the edict is easy to do, and the biggest difficulty for Luo Jia to ascend the throne is the jade seal whose whereabouts are unknown.
The high priest shook his head, a hint of banter appeared on his handsome face, and said, "How can the prince think that the edict is very important? ”
Being ridiculed by the high priest is not a thing to be happy about, Luo Jia has a wall in his heart, he is the crown prince above ten thousand people under one person in this country, and there is no one else who dares to speak to him in such a tone except the emperor.
was about to have a seizure, but Qiu Yue pulled his sleeves, Luo Jia calmed down suddenly, he glanced back at Qiu Yue, and saw a slight shake of his head.
Yes, now is not the time to tear his face with the high priest, he must calm down, he said calmly: "What does the high priest think is the most important thing besides the jade seal?" (To be continued.) )
