Xiao Chengyi closed his eyes and sorted out his somewhat confused thoughts. After a while, he said: "Anyway, it is not suitable for us to confront the high priest now. Let's leave here and find a safe place first."
Ye Xiuchen also agreed with him. Today they broke into the palace without permission and burned down the ancestral temple of the Southern Xinjiang royal family. The Queen is not in Kyoto now. If she comes back, she will definitely dig them out.
But having said that, Xiao Chengyi is indeed good at calculations. He was afraid that the action would fail, so he deliberately kept a backup plan, just in case.
He asked with some admiration: "How did you come up with the idea of burning down someone else's ancestral temple?"
This move is really damaging.
Xiao Chengyi squinted his eyes, with a ruthless look in his eyes: "I not only want to burn down her ancestral temple, but I also want to make her a sinner in southern Xinjiang."
Ye Xiuchen knew that she was naturally the Queen of Southern Xinjiang in Xiao Chengyi's words. He believed that Xiao Chengyi could do what he said.
If she dares to offend Xiao Chengyi, the queen will wait for the destruction of her country and her family.
In the next room.
Jiang Ru was bandaging Alanyi's wound. Seeing Alanyi's state of mind, she couldn't help but frowned and said, "Third sister, do you really like the high priest that much?"
She looked like this, not because she was hurt by a sword, but because she was clearly hurt by love.
A Lanyi came back to her senses and smiled to herself, but her eyes were full of tears: "Yes, I liked him very much when I was a child. When I grew up and understood my feelings, I couldn't help myself.
But since I was little, both the high priest and the mother and queen have told me that I am the future of southern Xinjiang. I am different from ordinary people. I cannot have the seven emotions and six desires of normal people.
My mission is to protect King Gu and protect the country of Southern Xinjiang. I have to put the overall situation first.
These things are deeply ingrained in my heart and have become an indestructible barrier that prevents me from being willful or having illusions. But every day and every moment they are like water and fire, torturing me to the point of death."
When Jiang Ru heard these words, she felt a little emotional in her heart. One was love and the other was mission. No one else could choose.
Compared to her third sister, she is much happier. At least she is not trapped by love and does not have to bear those heavy tasks.
She is just obsessed with power and wants to be like her mother.
Jiang Ru sighed, she sat down and held Alan Yi's hand and said: "When we were children, my eldest sister and I were envious of you, envied that you could protect King Gu and inherit the mantle of the Queen Mother. Now it seems that eldest sister and I are really in love.
I don’t know the blessings among the blessings.”
Ah Lanyi lowered her eyes and said, "I met the eldest sister in the palace. She and the high priest arranged this siege."
Jiang Ru was startled: "Eldest sister? How could it be her? Hasn't she stopped caring about worldly affairs a long time ago?"
The eldest sister, Jiang Nian, had been in poor health since she was a child. Later, she injured her leg and was unable to walk. It can be said that she had no chance of becoming the emperor.
Then she stopped participating in political affairs and spent her days raising flowers and entertaining birds, ignoring the secular world.
A Lanyi said with a serious look: "I'm also very surprised. Logically speaking, the eldest sister has not been interested in worldly affairs for many years, so why did she plan with the high priest to arrest the regent?
Moreover, I think the way she looks at the high priest is wrong."
She once secretly observed that when the high priest was talking to Xiao Chengyi, her eldest sister looked at the high priest several times, and she was very familiar with that look.
It's clearly a hidden love.
Jiang Ru was startled: "You mean, eldest sister likes the high priest?"
