Without the advice of someone who is very familiar with the terrain of the Gu Palace, I would not be able to get in even if I disguise myself as a high priest."
Mu Yun'an heard the deep meaning in his words: "You mean, the high priest is secretly helping brother Yi?"
Wu Xuanye raised his eyebrows: "He has been colluding with Xiao Chengyi for a long time, and you must also know the life experience of the high priest.
As His Majesty's son, he was caught in a dilemma. In order to maintain the relationship between mother and son, he thought of a way, which was to use Xiao Chengyi's power to help him break the situation in southern Xinjiang and get what he wanted.
And what you see is only one-sided. The high priest's feelings for the third princess are real, he just hides everything in his heart, so that he is misunderstood by the third princess.
Later, because of your appearance, the high priest thought he saw hope, and I can understand why he kidnapped you.
In fact, as long as he stands with His Majesty, he will always get the girl he desires, but because the third princess insisted on saving you, he compromised.
In order not to disappoint his mother, he chose to cooperate with Xiao Chengyi and secretly helped him, hoping that he would rescue you. Who would have thought that Your Majesty was superior and actually killed Xiao Chengyi instead.
But the high priest had good intentions after all, because he felt that he was to blame for Xiao Chengyi's death, so he didn't explain it to you and allowed you to misunderstand.
But people are like this. If they feel guilty, they want to make up for it. If the high priest stays in the Gu Palace, do you think he is really helping us prepare for the wedding? He is just trying to find a way to save you."
Mu Yunan was shocked after hearing what he said. She had never thought so much about Xiao Chengyi's death. It turned out that the high priest had already reached a cooperative relationship with Xiao Chengyi.
No wonder the high priest said before that the only person who understands him best in the world is Xiao Chengyi.
Mu Yun'an's mood was a little complicated. She asked, "Why are you telling me this?"
Wu Xuanye smiled and said: "I just want to tell you the consequences of resisting me. They all want to save you, but I can tell you for sure that not only will they not be able to save you, they will die because of you.
As long as they don't plan on getting married, they can naturally save their lives, so..."
He stretched out his hand, gently caressed Mu Yun'an's cheek and said, "Tonight, by becoming my woman, you have saved them."
If the rice is cooked, they will naturally not think about rescuing people.
Mu Yun'an finally understood. This man said so much just to threaten her. A ball of fire burst out of her eyes, and she gritted her teeth and cursed: "Despicable."
She glared at Wu Xuanye fiercely and said: "Wu Xuanye, fortunately I thought you were a good person, but I didn't expect you to be such a despicable and shameless villain. Even if you get me today, I will hate you forever!"
Wu Xuanye shrugged, but he looked disapproving: "Hate as much as you want, it's good to be hated by others."
As he said that, he pulled Mu Yun'an over, with a trace of ruthlessness in his eyes: "No one will come to save you tonight."
As soon as the words fell, there was a sound of tearing and cracking, accompanied by the heart-wrenching cry of the woman.
Outside, in the originally clear sky, there was suddenly a loud roar.
All of a sudden, there was thunder and lightning and strong winds, which was like the wrath of God.
Dark clouds enveloped the entire imperial city, and heavy rain poured down.
Jun Limo knelt in the rain, already soaked to the skin.
Seeing this, the eunuch came over holding an umbrella and said: "High Priest, you'd better go back. His Majesty has told you to prepare for the marriage of the Holy Son with peace of mind. There is no need for you to interfere with anything else."
But Jun Limo knelt on the ground motionless. After he knew that Mu Yun'an was taken away by Wu Xuanye, he came to the palace to ask for an audience with His Majesty, hoping to find the whereabouts of the Wu clan. However, His Majesty let him out after hearing his purpose.
Only then did he kneel outside, wanting to beg His Majesty for mercy.
