144 Seeking Alliance
"Your palace is like a church in Simeng."
Tilda's voice was calm, but it could be seen that she was really shocked by the scale of the palace.
In the harem, Han Dongwen accompanied Tilda to her temporary residence, Qifang Palace, located between Chiya Palace and Tianchi Palace.
This should have belonged to Han Dongwen's other concubine, but just like His Royal Highness's original situation in the palace, the person who can really stay by his side is not something that the plague monarch can say.
The plague monarch's father, Emperor Jingzong, did not have many concubines during his lifetime, so there was naturally no reason to stay in the palace after Jingzong's death.
And the princesses who belonged to Han Dongwen were also unable to move from the prince's palace to the palace as a matter of course, except for Jiang Keyin and Chi Hanqing, who were backed by the two divisions of the art of war, the rest of the princesses were all assigned to leave the palace, and no one cared about them.
As for why the National Financial Division did not have a similar candidate for the crown princess - the original National Financial Division supported Jingzong, so naturally he didn't care about Han Dongwen, who was still the prince.
Han Dongwen took Tilda into the Qifang Palace, which had already been cleaned up spotlessly, just waiting for them to arrive.
"Since you think it's novel, you can take a walk around if it's okay."
Han Dongwen said this, feeling quite emotional in his heart.
According to the original plot timeline, Saint Tirda, who has been used as experimental material for the church since she was a child, has been fighting all her life not to become a puppet of the church.
I have been fighting until the Divine Emperor Taka descends the divine light, and in his life, I am afraid that he has not had the opportunity to explore the heavens and the earth, and he is only busy with the position of the Grand Duke, and he may not even have a good understanding of the neighboring Simeng, which is close to Chi Qi.
He had some sympathy for the original Tilda.
Bypassing the screen wall at the entrance of the palace, seven or eight maids were already kneeling in front of the main house and waiting, Tilda was stunned, turned her head and asked, "What are these girls doing here?" ”
"They're in charge of taking care of you." Han Dongwen said succinctly.
Tilda looked back at the maids, shook her head, and said resolutely, "I don't need anyone to take care of me, just follow me alone." ”
Hearing her say this, Han Dongwen wanted to refute two sentences, you are a one-armed hero and don't need to be taken care of?
But after thinking about it, Tilda has no hand, and she doesn't know what kind of mood she is in now, and besides, people can press themselves to the ground and rub them with one hand, so it's better for her.
"Just one person ......"
Han Dongwen pondered for a moment, then asked the maid in front of him, "What class is Little Red Bean doing today?" ”
The maid immediately buried her head and replied: "Back to Your Highness, the palace maid Xiao Hongdou is on duty to serve His Highness today, and she should be waiting in the Spring Festival Palace now." ”
"Call her over, and let her follow the Grand Duke today." Han Dongwen thought for a little and opened his mouth to command.
The maids retreated, and Han Dongwen sent the rest of the palace maids who had been following him to the imperial dining room to help, and they were finally cleaner.
After leaving the Health Pavilion, the two general directors of Taifu and Jiang Ningyun went to Taishu Pavilion with Zhong Lilin to record the military intelligence report on the border, while Li Zai and the rest of the guards of the Xiu Department kept their distance as usual - since Tilda was no longer a threat, there was no need to react so stressfully.
So, except for the palace maids who waited for him outside Qifang Palace according to Han Dongwen's instructions, he finally waited for this opportunity to be alone with Tilda.
Silent.
Tilda looked at Han Dongwen, her eyes were straight and her expression was very serious.
Han Dongwen pondered for a moment, took two steps towards the main hall, and finally spoke: "While you were asleep, I took back the five cities, do you have anything to say." ”
"Very clever thing to do."
Tilda replied quickly.
"Do you think I'm mean?" Han Dongwen asked with a smile.
"I'm not a child."
Tilda looked up and looked with interest at the enamel ceiling painting in the center of the roof beams: "There is a gap between the Grand Mansion and the Church, which is the result of the Church's own iniquity, but it is better that this is the opportunity to destroy the Church that I have not waited for." ”
Han Dongwen nodded and glanced around: "The saint of the church hates the church so much, if any outsiders hear it, I'm afraid they will be shocked." ”
Tilda heard Han Dongwen's words, and wrote lightly: "There is no one around, you can rest assured." ”
Hearing this, Han Dongwen breathed a sigh of relief.
He really wanted to ask about the drop immediately, but he was afraid that Tilda's identity was sensitive now, so that the rest guards who didn't know where to hide would listen to it.
Tilda can confirm that no one is eavesdropping, then I am afraid that it is completely reassuring - if even Tilda can hide it, it can almost be regarded as a fantasy.
He pondered for a moment and said, "Do you know what the church is really doing? ”
Tilda blinked and looked at Han Dongwen: "You know?" ”
Han Dongwen nodded: "Make a god." ”
Tilda bit her lip lightly, and looked away from Han Dongwen: "Since even you know, it means that the church no longer intends to hide." ”
"All the knight captains who fought against our army have acquired strange abilities, which they call oracles."
Han Dongwen's tone became serious: "I also know that Gascoen is the mastermind of the artificial gods of the church, and you, as a holy woman, were originally cultivated as a carrier. ”
Tilda's body stiffened slightly, she turned her head to look at Han Dongwen, Tong Kong shook slightly: "You know more than I imagined...... Yes, that's true of my background. ”
"And your Holy Grail, as the essence of the descent, is the medium of divinity."
Han Dongwen said: "Whether it is a man-made god or a god yourself, if you want to touch everything related to the so-called gods, this kind of descent is indispensable, am I right?" ”
Tilda looked at Han Dongwen and frowned slightly: "You...... Even if I have an answer, what do you ask these for? ”
"I can help you." Han Dongwen is righteous in his words.
"I don't need to."
Tilda quickly refused: "As long as I recuperate, Gascohen's men will not be able to stop me, I don't need you to ......"
"And then?"
Han Dongwen interrupted her words and took a step closer: "You have lived all your life, just to take the Church of God to the end, and now you think that with this reason, you can rush over and kill them all, and then what?" And then what do you live for, and then what are you going to do? ”
Tilda was stunned and looked at Han Dongwen in a daze.
Every day and night in the past, she was thinking about many things.
The Holy Maiden is not to be done by herself, and the Grand Duke is not to be done by herself.
But she was pushed into such a position.
Her goal has never changed, to take revenge on the Episcopal Church and Gascohen.
But after becoming a saint and a grand duke, she began to hope that her revenge would not affect the innocent people of West Asia.
She began to care about the survival of her country and the people under her rule, and began to worry that the people of Western Asia would still need a leader after the elimination of the church.
The duties of the Grand Duke, the duties of the Holy Maiden, the fanaticism of the believers and the love of the people, gradually turned into heavy shackles.
For countless days and nights, she fantasized about going straight to the church and killing them, but she heard countless voices in her head questioning her.
Without the church, can only its own West Asia exist safely?
Without the church, do you want to be this grand duke?
If not, how do you know where the next Grand Guild will take the people of West Asia? Having ruined the Church and the Knights of the Anglican, has he become a sinner in West Asia?
"I know you're great, but there's a limit."
Han Dongwen grabbed the empty sleeve of Tilda's right hand without giving any face: "A half-finished artificial god forced you to be like this, do you still think that in the world after the god comes into the world, you can still dominate the country by yourself like before?" ”
Love to read
"The world is going to be in chaos, I'm sure the Church of God is not the only force that covets the gods, you take the Church of God and the Church of God down, the strength of the West Asian country is greatly reduced, even if Simeng doesn't move you, won't there be other people eyeing you?!"
His voice was loud and firm, and at last it was almost like a question.
Tilda looked at Han Dongwen and didn't say anything for a long time.
According to the description of his subordinates in the Grand Duke's Mansion, this king of Simeng is nothing more than a cowardly and lustful person.
But in the last meeting, he behaved extremely tough in front of him, which made Tilda wonder if every time he saw him, Han Dongwen would blush and have a thick neck.
The two were staring at each other without saying a word, when suddenly a voice sounded cautiously from outside the door:
"Your Highness, are you looking for me?"
