After a long time, Bai Qi came back, holding several sets of dresses of different colors in his hand, put them in front of Yaojia, and said, "High priest, these are the clothes that were just made a few days ago, and they were washed by human pulp, and the king told me to show them to the high priest to see which one the high priest likes."

Yaowan raised her eyes to look at a few exquisitely made brocade shirts and robes, and asked, "Give me the clothes?"

Bai Qi nodded.

Yaowan shook her hand and said, "No need, when I came to the mortal realm, I brought some clothes." ”

Bai Qi hurriedly said: "The high priest misunderstood, it is like this, in a few days it will be the king's succession ceremony, and this dress is to be worn during the enthronement ceremony." ”

Yaohuan smiled and said, "I see. ”

Bai Qi said, "This is ordered by the king himself, and it is made of the finest cloth, and each garment is made of five or six pieces of cloth!

Yaohuan hesitated: "You can use any of them, you can help me choose any one." "Did your ancestors stipulate what kind of clothes the high priest should wear at the enthronement ceremony?"

Bai Qi shook his head and said: "You are the first high priest of your clan, there is no precedent for this matter, the king said, you can choose whichever one you like." ”

Yaowan thought about it, now Baili is panicking, the most important thing is to let Xuan Xuan inherit the throne as soon as possible and stabilize people's hearts, but the king died first, and the enthronement ceremony should not be a big deal, the clothes she wore that day should be plain, she pointed to the top cyan clothes and said, "That's it." ”

Bai Qian looked at the clothes in surprise, then looked at Yao Jiao, and confirmed repeatedly: "Are the high priests sure you want to wear this?"

Yaojuan asked, "What's wrong?"

Bai Qi hurriedly shook his head and said, "It's okay, then I'll leave it." ”

Yaohuan said, "Okay. ”

When Bai Qian turned to leave, Yaohuan suddenly said, "I've been sleeping here for a few days, right?"

Bai Qi thought for a while and said, "Today is the fifth day. ”

Yaowan nodded, and then asked, "I see that Xuanyu's archery technique is very good, when did he learn it?"

Bai Qi replied, "When the high priest left Bai Li two years ago, the prince of Xuanyu only learned to ride and shoot. ”

Yao Wan thought for a moment and responded, "Got it." ”

Bai Qi hurriedly said: "The high priest has a good rest. ”

Yaohuan naturally knows how to rest, and besides, at this time, she doesn't seem to have anything else to do except rest.

When she was in the Divine Realm before, the voices she heard should have been how fun and interesting the mortal realm was, but now that she was deeply immersed in it, she realized that this high priest who was personally assigned to the mortal realm by the Emperor of Labor was not a good errand.

Just looking at her unlucky appearance on the sickbed for the past few days, she doesn't look like a goddess with superb spiritual power.

is also to clean up the mess, and she feels deep sympathy for Xuan Xuan, who is in sympathy with the same disease.

She is a goddess, she has only been a high priest for a few days, and she feels tired to death, Xuan Xuan still has the rise and fall of the entire Baili clan on her shoulders, he has a thin body, how to carry it?

The enthronement ceremony was postponed for a month because of the funeral of the first king, Yaojuan took the immortal medicine for a few days, her body was good, and her spiritual power had recovered seventy or eighty percent, everyone in the village was busy, preparing for the funeral of the first king and the enthronement ceremony of Xuanxuan, Yaojuan was embarrassed to lie on the couch, got up and followed Bai Qi to the mourning hall of the first king.

Listening to Bai Qian, today is the day when Zi Yan entered the coffin, Xuan Xuan and Xuan Yu took the people of the Xuan clan to kneel in the mourning hall early, Yao Ji remembered what the shark spirit said that day, and walked to the coffin to investigate carefully, but did not find the breath of the demon on Zi Yan's corpse.

According to the etiquette system, Yaojuan saluted Zixi's spiritual position, turned around and exited the main hall.

She called Bai Qi aside and asked, "Before I left Bai Li that day, I gave you a bottle of medicine, did you send the medicine to the former king's bedroom as I instructed?"

Bai Qi immediately understood, and hurriedly said: "After the high priest gave it to me, I didn't dare to delay, and immediately sent the medicine to the king's bedroom." ”

Yaowan thought for a moment and asked, "Did he say anything?"

Bai Qian shook his head: "No." ”

Yaojuan said again: "Have you seen him eat it with your own eyes?"

Bai Qian shook his head again: "No." The king took the medicine, put it in front of the bed, and told me to go out. ”

Yao Yao opened her mouth and said, "I know, you go and get busy." ”

Bai Qi replied, "Yes." ”

When Yaojuan arrived at Zi Xian's dormitory, Xuanyu's mother, Yao, was packing up Zi Xian's relics.

Yaojuan walked around the screen and saluted closely, "I've seen Madame." ”

Yao's eyes were red and swollen from crying, and he turned around and saluted, "The high priest is polite. ”

Yaohuan had a lot of doubts in her heart, and she didn't want to make any more detours, so she opened her mouth bluntly: "I came this time to ask Mrs. a few things, and I asked Mrs. to answer the truth." ”

With a frightened look on his face, Yao Shi hurriedly asked, "What did the high priest say?"

Yaohuan said softly: "Madame don't need to be nervous, I just want to know what happened on the day King Baili died." ”

Yao's heart was a little calm, and he politely invited Yaohuan to sit down, and said: "That night, Wang Shang had a bad cough, but after he took the medicine, his spirit seemed to be much better, and he went out. ”

Yaojuan asked, "What medicine did he take?"

Yao Shi thought for a while and said: "It is the medicine that the disease doctor boils on weekdays, and it was still a little hot when it was sent over, and it was put on the desk for a while, and the king drank it." ”

Yaohuan was right, Zi Xian really didn't take the medicine she asked Bai Qi to send.

She asked, "And when did he come back?"

Yao thought about it with half squinted eyes, and replied cautiously: "If I remember correctly, it should be between the time of the hour and the time of the sea." ”

Yaowan stared at Yao seriously and asked, "Did he leave anything behind?"

Yao Shi took out an object from his sleeve, put it in his hand and brought it to Yaohuan's eyes, and said, "This was found in his study." ”

Yao Wan recognized that what Yao was holding in her hand was the porcelain vase she gave to Bai Qi. She looked at the crystal porcelain vase in Yao's hand, and said, "You mean, after the first king took the medicine, he went to the study?"

Yao nodded.

Yaojuan clenched the porcelain vase in her hand and asked, "What is he doing in the study?"

Yao's eyes glistened with tears, and she lowered her head, sighed and shook her head.

Yao Jiao couldn't bear it, got up and comforted: "Madame's mourning, I'm disturbing today, I'll leave first." ”

Yao choked up and said, "The high priest walks slowly." ”

Yao Wan wondered in her heart, the words of the shark spirit were not credible, but as he said that day, if he had seen Lei Yuan, he would have something to do with the demon world, but what was the reason for him to stay at the foot of Baili Mountain? Moreover, he kept saying that the death of the Baili King was related to Lei Yuan, and he and Lei Yuan were both from the demon clan, so why did he frame him?

A thought flashed through Yao's mind, and she said to herself: "Could it be that he is from Yu Yu?"

Ke Ziyan himself was seriously ill and couldn't leave the bed, so why did he go to the study the night before he died, and what was he doing there?

She raised her head and quickly walked towards Ziyan's study.

There was only one guard outside the study, standing in front of the door and napping.

Yaowan stepped forward and patted him and said, "Has anyone been in here?"

The guard hurriedly wiped the corners of his mouth, stood up straight and saluted, "I've seen the high priest." ”

Yaohuan observed the environment around the study, pointed to the door behind the guard and asked, "Who has been in these days?"

The guard rubbed his eyes vigorously, cheered up, and said, "High Priest, except for the first king and Mrs. Yao, no one else has ever come in. ”

Yaowan nodded and said, "Okay, you are guarding outside the door, and I will go into the house and take a look." ”

The guards hurriedly replied yes, and thousands pushed the door open, saying, "High priest, please." ”

It was about Yao's tidying up the study, the study was very clean, the table was also wiped spotless, and the incense burner and inkstone were also placed in an orderly manner.

She was about to close the door and exit, at a glance she caught a glimpse of the jade chess pieces under the table, she picked up the chess pieces, and searched in the study for a long time, only to find a very inconspicuous corner of the chessboard, next to the chessboard is a fairly delicate box, on which has also accumulated a thick layer of dust chessboard and a box of chess pieces placed in one place, she walked to the bright place, and found that the chess pieces in her hand were as white as a glow, as if they had only fallen to the ground in the past few days.

Why is there a chess piece in Ziyan's study?

Yao Yao said, "You come in." ”

The guard outside the door hurriedly walked in and said, "What does the high priest command?"

Yaojuan asked, "Does the first king like to play chess very much?"

The guard touched the back of his head and replied bluntly, "The king doesn't like to play chess. ”

Yaowan pointed to the chessboard on the table and said, "Then whose is this?"

The guard said, "I heard that the princess is a master of chess, and whenever the king thinks of the princess, he will take out this chessboard and set up the favorite chess game of the princess during her lifetime." ”

"Princess?" asked Miao.

The guard explained: "Oh, it's the wife of the first king, that is, Prince Xuanxuan, oh no, the king's biological mother. ”

Yaowan nodded and said, "I see, on the night of the death of the first king, who was on duty here?"

The guard said, "It was me, but when the king came, he said that he wanted to stay here alone for a while, and told me to go down, so I withdrew. ”

Yaojuan continued to ask, "Do you remember when he came?"

The guard thought for a moment and said, "It's probably the time." ”

According to Yao's words, when Zi Xianxu left the dormitory, he came to the study, and after staying in the study for nearly an hour, he returned to the dormitory around the hour. On that day, Qin Biao found a change in the immortal barrier at the door of the village on the roof of the bamboo house, and it was almost the same time, is there any connection between these two things?"

Did he drag his seriously ill and crippled body to the study, just to remember his deceased lover? But this chessboard, since it was the only object left by the princess in the study, did not touch it at all when Zi Yan came; the chessboard and the box containing the chess pieces had fallen a thick layer of dust, and no one should have touched it, and this chess piece should not have been in the study originally, so why did it appear in the study for no reason? Who brought it in?

What happened that day?

The guard saluted behind her and said, "Your Majesty." Yaowan woke up, turned to look at Xuan Xuan, who was dressed in plain clothes behind her, and said, "Why are you here?"

Xuan Xuan glanced at the chessboard on the table lightly, and said, "I heard that you went to find Mrs. Yao, but because of my father's affairs?"

Yaowan looked at the guard behind her and said, "You go out first." ”

The guards hurriedly retreated.

Yaowan said, "You went to look for me? did Bai Qian tell you?"

Xuan Ying stared at Yaojuan intently, and after a long time, he looked away: "There is another reason for my father's death?"

Yaohuan said helplessly: "I don't know, I just feel weird." She took out the porcelain bottle containing the immortal medicine and gave it to Xuan Xuan, and said, "This is the immortal medicine that I sent to your father's bedroom by Bai Qi, I have just seen it, and there are a lot of medicines in it." ”

Xuan Xuan was shocked: "You mean, my father didn't take medicine?"

Yaowan looked at Xuan Xuan's eyes and said seriously: "Yes, I saw him after I returned to Baili, and he told me that his life was not long and asked me to stay and help you." ”

Xuan Xuan didn't seem to listen to Yao's words, he stepped forward, carefully picked up the chessboard, wiped the dust on the chessboard with his cuffs, and the dust stained his clothes, and then winded around his cuffs, as if reluctant to leave.

Yao Jiao looked at him steadily, and after a long time, about the time when he wiped the chessboard clean with his sleeve, Xuan Xuan turned around and said, "I already knew about this matter." ”

Yao Wan was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "How do you know?"

Xuan Xuan lowered his eyes slightly, looking at the incense burner on the table: "I once asked the doctor, he said that my father's body can't last this year, I went to the mountain that day, in order to find a way to help him continue his life, but I didn't expect that my father has long been tired of the world, and now such an ending, no matter what the reason, for him, it can be regarded as relief." ”

Yaojuan carefully looked at Xuan Xuan's expression: "I heard from Mrs. Yao that your father Wang Xue came here before his death, so I came here to take a look." ”

Xuan Xuan glanced at the furnishings in the study and sighed: "Let's go out and talk about it." ”

"What do you think is the cause of my father's death?" asked Xuan Ying, who turned around and looked at Yao Yuan, who was far away from him.

Yaohuan lowered her head, inadvertently kicked the small stones on the road, looked up and asked, "What did you say?"

Xuan Ying strode closer to Yaohuan and asked, "What are you suspecting?" or rather, who are you suspecting?"

Yaowan didn't have time to stop her steps, her forehead hit Xuanxuan's chin suddenly, she was startled, and after reacting, she hurriedly jumped away.

She turned away, no longer looked at him, and muttered quietly, "If I knew who to suspect, would I still need to look for clues?"

Xuan Ying smiled and said, "I heard Bai Qi say, you picked out a cyan dress?"

Yaowan turned her head and wondered, "Why did you hear that I picked out a blue dress, and they all had this expression?"

Xuan Ying asked, "What expression?"

Yaojiao said: "The expression of the jaw dropped. ”

Xuan Xuan reached out and touched his chin, and said with a smile: "No, my chin is still there." ”

Yaohuan glanced at him fiercely.

Xuan Xuan said again: "I helped you pick out a beautiful one, and I have already asked Bai Qi to send it to the bamboo house, so you can wear that one." ”

Yaohuan pouted and replied, "Whatever." Then, she took the porcelain bottle to Xuan Xuan and said: "This is filled with immortal medicine, if the gods eat it, they can improve their cultivation, mortals can use it, and the injury can be cured, you don't need it, you take it." ”

Xuan Ying took it and said, "Thank you." ”

Yaohuan thought for a while and asked, "Why can't you wear cyan clothes?"

The corners of Xuan Ying's mouth pursed a smile and said: "This is the habit of our own clan, and generally only when praying for blessings and rain, we will wear cyan clothes. ”

Yaohuan nodded: "I see." ”

The two walked back side by side for a long time, and Yaojuan suddenly asked, "What do you think?"

Xuan Ying smiled slightly: "What are you talking about?"

Yaowan stopped her steps and said, "On the day of Ziyan's rebellion, someone told me that the cause of your father's death was the third prince of the demon clan, although this matter is not conclusive, but there are indeed many doubts, do you want me to continue to investigate?"

Xuan Xuan's tone did not change, but the smile on the corner of his mouth quietly faded: "Even if it is him, is there any way I can take revenge?"

Yaowan shook her head and said, "If this matter involves Lei Yuan, maybe even I can't help you, so I can only tell the Emperor of Heaven about this matter and ask him to solve it." ”

Xuan Ying thought about it for a while, and wrote lightly: "If you want to check, you can check, I also want to know the root cause of this matter." ”

Xuan Xuan's few words made Yao Wan feel timid, she turned her head a little melancholy, eager to slap herself a few big mouths, what is called getting into trouble, this is the best explanation.

Yao's sad face was revealed in front of Xuan Xuan, and Xuan Xuan said, "How is your body recovering?"

Yao Jiao smiled and replied, "It's okay, except that you can't go to the battlefield immediately, you should be able to do other things." ”

Xuan Ying looked at Yao Jia fixedly, and sighed: "You are really an immortal!"

Yaojuan looked at Xuanxuan's expression, as if someone had poured a basin of cold water on her head, and she sighed: "Yaojuan, you are really a crow's mouth." ”

Xuan Xuan was a little tired, and said helplessly: "Maybe in these few days, or maybe in the next month, anyway, it won't be too long, I heard that after Ziyan fled back to his fiefdom, he reorganized his troops and horses, hoarded grain and grass, and frequently contacted other tribes. ”

Yaohuan said: "You don't have to worry, now my spiritual power has recovered eight or nine times out of ten, and I can help you retreat from the enemy." ”

Xuan Xuan hurriedly said: "No, you can't go, you are the first high priest of my Baili clan, and you are the daughter of the Emperor of Heaven, as long as you are in the Baili clan, the divine realm will keep my Baili peaceful for a day, and the demon clan will also have some scruples, and will not easily deal with Baili." ”

Yao Yao said in surprise: "Why do the demons want to deal with the white oriole?"

Xuan Xuan looked at Liao Yuan's horizon and said, "It's because of the last mantra of the Mixed Yuan Banner, on the Mixed Yuan Banner in the hands of the Demon Clan, there is a corner missing, and the missing corner is in our Baili Clan." ”

Yao Yao was shocked: "Mixed Yuan Banner, could it be the Silk Yuan Fragment that Ziyan wants to snatch?"

"It's the Mixed Yuan Banner, I'm a mortal, mortal with flesh and bones, with my ability, I can't protect the holy relics, so my father thought of a way to ask the Heavenly Emperor to send him to the lower realm. ”
