It is rumored that the high priest Qi Ying has a cold, introverted and steady temperament, and his personality is uncertain.

He has a big hobby is to stroke the qin, the mountain behind the palace will often come to the sound of the piano, the time of mourning can be compared to "dancing the hidden ravine, crying lonely boat of the woman." ”

The sound of the piano is like him, and so is he. Transcendent birth, undisturbed by mortal earth. He should belong to the mountains, to the forests, to the sea, to nature.

Ji Kang's "Qin Fu" cloud: Among all the instruments, the qin virtue is the best. The qin is not only a musical instrument, but also a spiritual way of life for literati and scholars to cultivate their self-cultivation with the qin, and even to calm their minds and enlighten the Tao with the qin.

He is the holy of men, detached from the world, and proud of himself. Even if the ministers above the court complained about him, his position still could not be shaken.

His life history has always been passed down in the court, and as soon as he appeared, he was in a pivotal position, who is it?

The crystal yaoqin is in the world, and when the strings are plucked, the opposite lake is like a big wave rolling, turning up waves.

Suddenly, Panlong Mountain vibrate, the whole royal city vibrates, the wind chimes under the eaves shake even louder, the birds can't stand on the branches, and the old widow and widow also hold on to the old trees on the side to gain a firm foothold.

And Xiu Yuzhen, who had used up the medicine a little, was asleep, and suddenly the house, tables, chairs and benches shook in her dream, and she was so frightened that she immediately sat up.

After only a few seconds, everything was calm again.

The servant girl hurriedly ran into the inner room only to see that she was safe and sound, and was instantly relieved.

"What's going on?"

Xiu Yuzhen held her forehead, the effect of the medicine just now had not dissipated, and her mind had not yet been relaxed, and this convulsion woke her up.

Aoki's mother-in-law came to her with a bowl of white fungus porridge.

The medicine is bitter, and she can't eat it. Every time I rinse my mouth after taking the medicine, the bitter taste remains on the tongue coating for a long time after half a day.

"Back to the empress's words, it may be the movement of the mountain behind the temple of the gods. Don't worry, I'm sending someone to check. ”

Xiu Yuzhen pushed away the bowl of white fungus porridge, there have been many things recently, she has been troubled, she doesn't eat much, and her body is a little thin. If some people see it, they will definitely be happy again.

The female official Aoki's mother-in-law was about to send someone to the back mountain to investigate, but was interrupted by the empress.

"No, it doesn't seem like a big deal. I'll go and ask the high priest, so go down first. ”

"Empress, there is something I don't know whether to say or not."

"Mother-in-law, please speak."

Granny Aoki glanced at the maidservants beside her, and after sending them down, she spoke.

"Some people said that last night they saw a little maid dressed as a maid slip out of the priest's house. The minister was wondering, could it be that the little emperor fell into the hands of the high priest? ”

"Is there such a thing? Why didn't you tell me earlier? ”

"The empress forgives me, you suddenly fell ill last night, and there was no way to deal with it for a while, so in order to let you have a good rest, so it was delayed."

The little girl was so disobedient that she dared to set fire, I thought you were hiding, but now let me find you, and I don't want to teach you a good lesson.

Xiu Yuzhen's emotions were obviously a little excited, and after so many days, she finally had a little news about her.

I felt a little angry at this disobedient little daughter's approach, but after thinking about it, I hadn't seen her for more than ten years, even if she was related by blood, but she only had grace and no grace, so why would she fully believe and trust herself.

The road to recognizing women is long and obstructive.

"Mother-in-law, come with me to the High Priest's Mansion to have a look, if it is really hidden by Qi Yingyouyi, I will definitely make him look good."

Luo Yunying has a special identity, although she is the little emperor of the dynasty, she has never appeared in it, not only smuggled back with a secret guard, but also hid in Fengyang Pavilion in the later stage and was not discovered, which is also because of her protection of her little daughter.

Now the dynasty is disordered, and some gangs in the court have formed factions, repairing plank roads and secretly crossing Chencang. Although the generals of the ministers are subservient to themselves on the surface, they have long been attached to other princes secretly.

For example, her imperial uncle, who was the secretary of the town and the state of the dynasty, Xiujing.

There were already people waiting for an opportunity to act, so this operation was all carried out in secret. Her original intention was to bring her back secretly, give her enough time, let her adapt to life in the palace, and train her to be a qualified empress so that she can inherit the throne in the future.

But no one expected that Luo Yunying's little girl was not very old, and her courage was no less than anyone else. The little head also had its own careful thoughts, and before the person could settle down, he set fire to Fengyang Pavilion and sneaked out.

Fortunately, the wind was tightly controlled and did not reach the ears of those who cared. However, at the moment, the palace is not peaceful, she is exhausted with a lot of affairs, and even more serious is to make the Gu poison in her body even more serious, and I don't know whose hands she has fallen into for so many days, and she has not suffered.

After so many days, there was finally a little news, how dare Xiu Yuzhen slack off, and went to the priest's mansion with a group of people.

An elegantly dressed woman walked with a step, followed by a dozen little maidservants in green clothes, each of whom was no more than eighteen years old, and when she was as beautiful as a flower, she was imprisoned in this cold-blooded and ruthless palace, and was frightened all day long.

But it's really a ruthless person, a ruthless thing, let my life be up to others, not myself.

Maybe the former Xiu Yuzhen was also an innocent woman, but she slowly understood and saw clearly in this deep palace. The fate of the emperor's children is only in their own hands. If you don't step on other people's corpses, then you will be a prisoner, and the fish and meat on the knife will be slaughtered by others.

After more than 20 years of political service, her hands and feet have long been stained with blood, and she can't turn back, she is destined to enjoy the paralysis of power and the loneliness of the emperor.

In a few moments, the plaque of the priest's mansion appeared in front of me. Without waiting for the guards to salute, Xiu Yuzhen stepped into the mansion and walked towards the main hall.

"Long live the Empress!"

The man named Huai'an saw Xiu Yuzhen coming in, put away the saber in his hand and greeted him.

"Flat, where is the high priest?"

“……”

"It's not peaceful in the palace today, and Gongzi Huai'an has seen other suspicious people?"

Aoki's mother-in-law looked at Huai'an without saying a word, she knew that he was a stuffy gourd, but she didn't expect to not even say a word.

Huai'an looked at the graceful and noble Xiu Yuzhen and the group behind him, this battle was so big and menacing, could it be that they knew about it?

Qi Ying left Luo Yunying here quietly, hiding it so deeply, even the dark line in the palace would not be discovered. This is something that Qi Ying can control, but he can't control Luo Yunying.

Now the people who sent out have not returned, but the empress has come to the door. Could it be that the matter reached her ears?

He had long thought that Qi Ying's approach was too risky and would cause trouble, but he didn't expect to find it so quickly. If Luo Yunying really returned to Xiu Yuzhen's side, then he and Qi Ying really couldn't get out of the way.

After all, "kidnapping" is a crime.

Huai An hesitated for a moment, looking at Xiu Yuzhen's appearance that he would not stop if he did not achieve his goal, waiting for himself to "confess". In response to this kind of thing, he still let Qi Ying and her solve it face to face.

"In the next and find something unusual. If something happens to the empress, you can tell you below. ”

Huai'an is also smart, knowing who she is asking, but cheekily saying that she doesn't know.

Looking at Xiu Yuzhen's serious expression, her eyes looked around, as if she wanted to find something unusual, traces of Luo Yunying's life. How can it be that simple.

Huai'an quickly interrupted her and said.

"The high priest is on the mountain behind the temple of the gods..."

"Thank you Huai'an Gongzi for telling me."

Before Huai'an finished speaking, Xiu Yuzhen turned his head and walked out.

Looking at the menacing steps, Huai An breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably, what should come is still coming.

Not long after leaving, he still had Xiu Yuzhen's face printed in his mind, although the were still old and charming.

However, even if she has a good face, red lips and white teeth, her face can't stop the vicissitudes of labor between her eyebrows and eyes, and her sideburns have a hint of silver. Sure enough, the power is overwhelming, and it is indispensable to take a lot of effort to run state affairs.

Huai'an's father was the great Sima of the current dynasty, the elder of the three dynasties, and a loyal minister of the imperial capital. He has done his best all his life, fought in the south and north for decades, and made great contributions to the glorious future of the imperial capital. When he was old, he stayed in the imperial capital to protect the royal city.

And he is the youngest son of the Great Sima, who was counted as a cultivator when he was born, and should be the next high priest. So since he was a child, he was sent to the Great Dharma Protector to train and wait for the opportunity. Unexpectedly, there was a Qi win halfway through the road and took his place.

Da Sima once talked to Xiang Bo about this matter, but Xiang Bo didn't say anything, but acquiesced to Qi Ying becoming the new high priest. Just like Huai'an's fate, this man who suddenly appeared is also the fateful high priest.

Even so, Da Sima decided to let Huai'an stay with the high priest in the Temple of the Gods, even if it was to be a guard. He was waiting for that day, waiting to expose the true face of Qi Ying.

This man is very suspicious!

Even though Xiu Yuzhen treated him unfairly, and Xiangbo treated him unfairly, Da Sima was still loyal to the Xiujia dynasty. In his eyes, it is not only that Xiu Jia's family is kind to him, but also to repay the emperor's bosom friend and life-saving grace.

Today's imperial capital dynasty is in danger, there are only a handful of successors, but there are many wolf ambitions who are secretly observing, and today's imperial capital is afraid that the sky is about to change.

And he can only follow his father's wishes to protect the imperial capital and maintain the rule led by Xiu Yuzhen.

This is destiny and fate.

If you want to go to the back mountain, you must first pass through the temple of the gods.

On the red-walled and bluestone road, Xiu Yuzhen walked through one royal road after another, and the destination went straight to the Hall of the Gods, which was used to pray for blessings and sacrifices and channel with the gods.

In front of him is a solemn and majestic temple, before the body has stepped in, a powerful and shocking momentum rushes to the face, it is a mountain standing here, silent is better than sound. It makes you want to go for Hajj.

There are six stone pillars standing on both sides of the road, each pillar is coiled with a five-clawed dragon, the hair on the head is upright, the dragon's whiskers are turned inside and out, the scales are neatly arranged, the eyes are abrupt, and the momentum is compelling, like a real dragon, which makes people's hearts tremble, and they can't help but crawl on the ground.

A brass bell hangs at each of the four corners of the eaves of the palace, which makes a pleasant sound with the wind blowing, bringing a lively atmosphere to this solemn and solemn atmosphere.

Xiu Yuzhen looked down at the dark stone path under her feet, leading to the palace, and the line was divided into symmetrical sides. This path is known as the Dragon's Vein. It is rumored to be the origin of the gods sacrificed. Absorb the aura of the world's creatures and use it to support the dynasty and make it prosperous.

Due to the special meaning of the shrine, except for princely generals and ministers of distinguished status, everyone else had to keep their hands outside.

Therefore, Xiu Yuzhen asked the rest of the people to stay outside, and walked alone along the dark stone path to the temple of the gods.

Entering the temple of the gods, there is a statue of Nuwa standing in the hall, with a cold expression, overlooking all living beings.

A voice came from behind him, a guard in armor.

"The empress is here to find the high priest?"

"Isn't he there?"

"Back to the empress, the high priest has not been in the priest's mansion for several days."

"The palace suddenly shook today, is something wrong?"

"Xu is turbidity has alarmed the gods of the back mountain, and the empress doesn't need to worry. If something happens, the guards of the Temple of the Gods will definitely protect the imperial capital. ”

"Thank you, messenger."

As soon as she heard that Qi Ying was not there, Xiu Yuzhen felt a little irritable in her heart, a good priest did not stay in the temple of the gods, but stayed in the mansion every day to play the piano and play songs, how could she look like a priest. Where did this go?
