Xiao Chengyi raised his eyebrows and asked curiously: "Do you think there is any difference between men and women when it comes to fighting for power?"
Ye Xiuchen's lips twitched, vaguely understanding what Xiao Chengyi meant, and he said: "There is no difference. I heard that the second princess and the third princess have always been at odds, and the eldest princess was born with a weak body. It can be said that she has no chance to share the throne."
Xiao Chengyi curled his lips: "This is interesting." He looked at Ye Xiuchen and said: "Get ready, let's go visit the high priest tomorrow."
Ye Xiuchen looked frightened when he heard this: "Are you really going to see him? As the regent?"
"See, why not see?"
Xiao Chengyi stood up, walked to the window again and said: "Finish the affairs of Southern Xinjiang as soon as possible and go back as soon as possible. I don't want Yan Yan to wait for me for too long."
Ye Xiuchen stared at his back and was speechless for a while, but he knew that Xiao Chengyi would never do anything he was unsure of. Maybe they really should visit the high priest.
The next day.
Xiao Chengyi and Ye Xiuchen arrived at the high priest's house. They handed over the greeting card. The housekeeper took one look at it and then made a greeting: "The high priest has been waiting for you two for a long time. Please."
Ye Xiuchen was stunned. The butler said how long the high priest had been waiting for them?
Does this mean that he already knew that they were coming? Obviously before today, their identities were well hidden, and even their true faces were not revealed.
Is this high priest really a god?
He looked at Xiao Chengyi and saw that his expression was as usual, not surprised at all. He looked away, calmed down his thoughts, and followed the housekeeper into the house.
Not long after, the housekeeper took them outside a room and said respectfully: "High Priest, the distinguished guest you are waiting for has arrived."
"Invite them in."
A man's deep and sweet voice came from the door.
The housekeeper opened the door and made a request.
Xiao Chengyi walked in and took a look at the furnishings in the room. They were very elegant, and there was a white curtain between the outer room and the inner room.
There is a vaguely visible man sitting behind the gauze curtain, who seems to be wearing white clothes, but his appearance cannot be clearly seen.
Xiao Chengyi stood outside the gauze tent and saluted the people inside: "Master Priest, I have long admired your name."
The man behind the curtain chuckled softly: "I'm afraid the regent didn't know about me until he came to southern Xinjiang, right? How can I talk about it for a long time? Do you think so?"
Xiao Chengyi's eyebrows moved and he also laughed: "They are just polite words, why should the high priest take them so seriously?"
The high priest was noncommittal: "The regent is really funny and courageous. I admire him very much."
Xiao Chengyi did not continue to be polite to him, but asked: "I wonder how the priest learned about my identity?"
The high priest said in a calm voice: "If I say that I can predict the future, would you believe it?"
Xiao Chengyi naturally didn't believe it, but he also wanted to test the depth of the high priest, so he said: "I heard that the high priest can see all destiny at a glance, and he is a god descending to earth.
I think I have concealed my identity very well, but I didn’t want the high priest to spy on me anyway. This shows that the rumors about the high priest are true."
