Ye Xiuchen sat down on the chair and asked full of questions: "What do you mean by the high priest? Didn't he ask us to deal with the third princess?
Now that the third princess is missing, he can just take the opportunity to seize the throne, so why do he insist on finding the whereabouts of the third princess?"
He thought about this question for a long time and couldn't figure it out. Are these three princesses so powerful? That they make the high priest so afraid?
Xiao Chengyi glanced at him, then pinched his brows helplessly and said: "We have been in southern Xinjiang for a while. I'm afraid you haven't seen the high priest's true intention clearly."
"What...what do you mean?"
Ye Xiuchen was a little confused by what he said. Isn't the high priest's intention to seize the throne? Is there any other purpose?
Xiao Chengyi said: "Do you think the high priest is seeking the throne of Southern Xinjiang? In fact, it is not the case. His real intention is the third princess."
Ye Xiuchen was stunned for a moment and didn't respond: "What do you mean? The high priest is not for the throne but for the third princess? Why can't I understand?"
Xiao Chengyi chuckled and patiently explained to him: "Do you still remember that the high priest once said that the third princess will not fall in love with anyone."
Ye Xiuchen nodded: "Remember."
Xiao Chengyi said: "You also said that the Gu King, the treasure of the country in southern Xinjiang, was raised with the blood of the three princesses, and as far as I know, the woman who raises the Gu King cannot marry for life.
In other words, even if the third princess succeeds to the throne and becomes the king of Southern Xinjiang in the future, she will not be able to get married. She will have to guard King Gu, Southern Xinjiang, and her innocence all her life."
Ye Xiuchen was a little surprised. He had been in Southern Xinjiang for so long and he had never heard that the third princess could not marry for life. He asked suspiciously: "You are not just guessing, right? How about the throne of Southern Xinjiang if you don't marry?
Inheritance?”
Xiao Chengyi said in a calm voice: "Southern Xinjiang is different from other countries. Their inheritance is Gu King, not blood. If my guess is correct, the third princess is an exception among the royal family of Southern Xinjiang."
"exception?"
Ye Xiuchen became even more confused after hearing Xiao Chengyi's words.
Xiao Chengyi frowned and looked a little solemn: "Have you heard the rumors in Southern Xinjiang that there was a clan of saints in the history of Southern Xinjiang.
Saints have the purest blood in the world and are responsible for guarding Southern Border and Gu King, but they cannot marry in their lifetime.
And just a hundred years ago, a saint turned her back on Southern Xinjiang, almost causing a catastrophe. Since then, there has been no more saints in Southern Xinjiang, and the Gu King has also become in danger.
If my guess is correct, this third princess should have the inheritance of the saint's spiritual veins. Without her, I'm afraid the Gu King in Southern Xinjiang will be in danger.
Therefore, the third princess is responsible for the future of Southern Xinjiang, which is why the high priest said that she will not fall in love with anyone."
Ye Xiuchen finally understood. He frowned and said, "So, the high priest likes her? Wants to get her? So he plans to usurp the throne?"
Xiao Chengyi breathed a sigh of relief: "It's really not easy. You finally understand."
Ye Xiuchen: "..."
He retorted angrily: "Can't you just say no? Why do you want to spare me such a big deal?"
Xiao Chengyi shrugged: "If I don't tell you more carefully, how can you understand? From the words he said when I first met the high priest, I knew his true intention.
He loves the third princess deeply, but he cannot love her because of the mission she carries, so all he can do is destroy her!"
