Central Plains Chapter 36 Reappearance of the High Priest of the Different Pupils

I don't know if the appearance of this person is a disaster for her to repair Yuzhen or her luck, since meeting him, the state of the imperial capital dynasty is thriving, the enemy army on the border is withdrawn, the county king is stationed in the border, there is no disaster inside and outside the country, the people live in peace and live an idyllic life of male farmers and women weaving, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, and the country is peaceful and peaceful.

At the same time, she is also facing the hollowness of her own power. In the past, she could control the rights of the high priest and the entire process of auxiliary sacrifices at will, controlling the high priest's vein in the palm of her hand. But when he came, he stayed in the priest's mansion, and the forbidden land behind the mountain was sealed, and even the temple of the gods was not allowed to enter and leave at will.

This was the first time she had been turned away since she became emperor.

Although she was the empress, she had no power over these high priests. You have to remember that it was she who saved him when she went to the forbidden land in the back mountain. I guess he was ungrateful.

"My piano... Where is it? ”

A low, hoarse and cold voice that was completely out of his age sounded, and Xiu Yuzhen came back to her senses and looked at him with blinking eyes.

"Childe, don't worry, I'll send someone to bring your piano over."

The man in front of him was suspicious, and the guqin he was thinking about was even more suspicious. Where did he come from?

As soon as he heard of Qin's whereabouts, the man with different eyes relaxed and let down his guard. It didn't seem to him that the people in front of him were hostile to him, although there was a hint of confusion and fear in their eyes.

He glanced at him, trying not to make them look at him, and he felt that people were staring into his eyes, and he hated the feeling, the feeling of being seen as alien.

These eyes seemed to him to have an inexplicable sense of shame and grief, and the depths of his memory seemed to hide the pain associated with it.

In order to let the man with different pupils relax his vigilance, Xiu Yuzhen sent down the superfluous people, leaving only the two of them.

"Why are you so badly injured, and how can you appear in the forbidden land of the back mountain, can you tell me... Have you been through anything? ”

"I don't remember."

He subconsciously said no.

"And do you remember your name?"

Looking at Xiu Yuzhen's friendly expression, that smile was as warm as spring, making him feel relaxed, and the noble woman in front of him should not be harmful to him.

"My name is... My name is Rong ...... Allow..."

The man with different eyes tried to think about it, and he was also curious about his name, but his brain seemed to be resistant, and kept sending warning signals that made him have a splitting headache. He closed his eyes, his face was full of pain, and his forehead instantly broke out with sweat, and he said in pain.

"I... I don't remember. I can't remember! ”

He roared angrily, and uncontrollably pushed the cups on the table to the ground, shattering the porcelain cups to the ground. The green tendons on his hands were exposed, trembling slightly, and he didn't know when he was cut by the broken porcelain pieces and oozing bright red blood, dripping to the ground.

Seeing his crazy behavior, the armored guards outside hurriedly blocked in front of Xiu Yuzhen and put the knife on his neck, but they were very afraid in their hearts, because they didn't know what crazy actions the crazy man in front of him would do.

Xiu Yuzhen was calm, brushed the sleeves of his long coat, and wiped off the water stains on his body, which he accidentally spilled.

Seeing the man in front of him struggling in such pain, although the guards around him were holding knives, they were easily freed, and a group of guards fell to the ground, and their swords fell to the ground.

In order not to anger the person in front of her, this noble woman went against the norm and angrily went down to the guard, and showed him with a smile. If someone was so presumptuous in front of him in the past, his head would have fallen to the ground long ago.

"Don't worry, I won't hurt you, your injuries are not healed yet, just stay here and recuperate. If there is anything to be told to your subordinates, I will come to see you again. ”

After finishing speaking, the subordinate behind him also happened to take the guqin.

"The Empress."

Xiu Yuzhen glanced at it and said.

"Put it there."

The man with different pupils instantly calmed down when he saw the seven-stringed paulownia wood guqin, stroking the qin like a treasure, and even put his face on the guqin, shedding a line of tears, no one knew what happened between him and the guqin.

Xiu Yuzhen was full of curiosity about the man in front of her, she had to understand where he came from and what he was going to do. After all, his appearance is too suspicious.

She instructed the guards to keep an eye on the man with different eyes, monitoring all his movements. The arrival of this person, I don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse, this kind of person must not stay in the palace, but he cannot be allowed to go out of the palace and harm the people.

For several months, although Xiu Yuzhen has been busy with government affairs and has not come to see him from time to time as he promised, he also learned from the report of his subordinates that not long ago, the man with different pupils suddenly changed his mind, and at first he looked at the back mountain with dementia every day, and he was fascinated, and then one day he began to play the piano and sing and indulge in the world.

He didn't know where he came from, he didn't know where he was going, and he didn't even know why he was injured and lying in the forbidden place in the back mountain, but he remembered his name - Qi Ying.

All the mysteries are finally solved, and maybe he will tell himself something.

Just when he decided to take the initiative to find him, the next person suddenly reported that Qi Ying had something to talk to him, and it seemed that the two coincided.

When she came here again, the man with different eyes was no longer the pitiful look he had when they first met. In a few months, the man's serious injuries were healed, his body was taller, his facial contours were clearer and harder, and the eyebrows revealed a coldness and coldness, and for a moment she felt a momentum pressed down.

She laughed secretly, the man in front of her was only fifteen or sixteen years old, how could he have such a big momentum, it should be that she felt wrong, but the cold sweat on her back would not lie.

"Empress Jin An."

"How are you staying here?"

Xiu Yuzhen greeted him.

"Thanks to the care of the empress, I am already fine."

"I don't know if Qi Gongzi is looking for me... What am I doing? ”

Xiu Yuzhen took the initiative to ask, she knew that it must be very important for this man to take the initiative to find her. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to take the initiative to ask to see him now for such a long time.

"I have lived here for a long time, and I have learned about all the things in the imperial capital these days, although the empress does not ask me where I come from, but she will also be wary of me to a certain extent and be curious about me."

"I don't mean to, and it's for your safety to follow you. After all, Childe was seriously injured at first, wasn't he? ”

The two looked at each other when they heard this, and their purple eyes stared at a pair of indifferent Danfeng eyes, as if they were secretly competing.

"According to my understanding, the position of the high priest has been idle for a long time, although the emperor has the empress to preside, but as a symbol of a country, it cannot be left without one for a day."

Xiu Yuzhen scolded angrily, he saved him, he actually stared at the position of the high priest of the imperial capital, it was too much. This anger reminded her of Luo Qinghe, who left treacherously, and one or two did not reassure herself at all.

"Presumptuous! The position of the high priest is determined by heaven, how can you and I be allowed to mix at will. ”

What's more, there is already a high priest in the palace, and the man in front of him almost died at the ghost gate, how can he be competent.

"The Empress is worried about my ability? Rest assured, as long as you give me the opportunity to stay here, I'll be up to the task. ”

There was infinite confidence on his face, and there was unconcealed ambition in his eyes, as if the priesthood was reserved for himself.

"If you want to stay here, I can give you an errand. Why are you staring at this position? ”

"Everything is determined by heaven. I have my own reasons for staying here, and the Empress only needs to believe that I am capable of doing the job. ”

"The high priest is ordained by heaven, if you want to try, you will go to the temple of the gods on the fifteenth day of this month to test, and if you pass the test, you will obey your wishes."

Xiu Yuzhen's tone was a little compromised, but she was also embarrassed. This high priest is not something that any person can be, just like the little boy in the palace, Huai'an, also entered the royal city because of Luo Qinghe's original prophecy, and has been staying in the temple of the gods to retreat.

Xiu Yuzhen looked at the teenage man in front of her, she couldn't have imagined that she would have such ambitions at such a young age. If he can use it for himself, it will not be a good thing for himself. And she just needs to investigate whether his origin is black or white.

Qi Ying looked at the person in front of him, as if everything was in his hands. I've got to get back what I lost... He thought to himself.

Outside the pavilion, the mountains in the distance are verdant, the bright sunshine, the leisurely white clouds, a group of small birds fly from this branch to that branch from time to time, holding a small flower in their mouths, colorful butterflies flutter into the flowers, a leaf falls from the branch and falls on the water, drifting along the ripples of the water waves to the end of the distance.

After that transformation, Qi Ying really became a different person, his face was full of rebellion, cold and high, and a little mystery was added to his body.

One look from his eyes will make the maidservant feel timid, and it may be more terrifying than seeing the majesty of the empress. Sometimes he would ask about the imperial capital and things outside the city, but the maidservant was only vague.

Qi Ying is also a bothersome person, and he often can't be found, so scared that the maid always thinks he has escaped. Although the maidservant didn't say anything, she also slowly felt that this man seemed to know the structure of the imperial capital city better than anyone else, and his whereabouts were uncertain, and he could not be found, but there was no evidence that he had left here.

Xiu Yuzhen was unwilling, and continued to knock on the side and ask.

"Why are you just staring at here, if you want, I can let you out of the palace, isn't it better?"

"I'm going to get back what I lost."

Xiu Yuzhen was stunned, staring at the person in front of her with cold and charming eyes.

Not long before Qi Ying appeared in the forbidden land of the back mountain, the great protector of the temple of the gods handed over a prophecy: the different pupils came out, the priest descended, and the world was lucky.

Later, Xiu Yuzhen originally thought that the prophecy was a joke, but it wasn't until Qi Ying passed the priest test and passed the threshold of Xiangbo that she finally realized that this man with different pupils was really the high priest of heaven.

She really encountered the prophesied alien pupil, and in the end, he successfully passed the spiritual blood test, this is another high priest after Luo Qinghe, and another high priest of the alien pupil after the legendary Yuanying Goddess.

The memories turned into reality, and Xiu Yuzhen's thoughts were pulled back by the voice of the little maid.

"Empress, the slave doesn't know if you should say it?"

"Say."

"A few days ago, you asked me to burn the portrait of the little emperor, and I met the high priest halfway to the studio, and he was asked to take the painting. It was not that the High Priest was unaware of the existence of the little Emperor. ”

"What? There is such a thing! ”

Xiu Yuzhen clenched her fists, and her long nails penetrated her skin harder and harder, leaving traces of redness. In vain to believe in him so much, Qi Ying dared to deceive her.

The maidservant who told the truth knelt on the ground with a puff, and was worried in her heart, she gave the picture scroll to the high priest with a headache and brain fever, and told the truth with a headache and brain fever, would the empress blame her? But she also hopes that maybe the empress will be tolerant and generous, and she will spare herself because she has made up for her mistakes.

"That's it, I read that you told me in time that I will no longer hold you accountable at this time, if there is a next time, the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped."

"Thank you for your forgiveness!"

Xiu Yuzhen didn't expect that her original ally would deceive herself. Make small moves right under your nose.

"Qi Ying, what kind of trick are you doing?"

Since Xiu Yuzhen knew about this, she increased her supervision of Qi Ying, even if the two did not offend each other, but due to Luo Yunying's problem, they had slowly become estranged.

If a person has the intention to hide it from you, it is useless to expose the truth no matter how you try to expose it.
