Ye Xiuchen was startled when he heard this word. He frowned and asked, "How do you explain this?"
Xiao Chengyi said: "If you want to be with the third princess, you must change the inheritance of Southern Xinjiang for thousands of years, and only by becoming the king of Southern Xinjiang and having the right of life and death can you change everything.
Therefore, the high priest is walking a very difficult path. If he becomes the king of Southern Xinjiang, the first thing he will do is to destroy the Gu King.
Only by destroying the Gu King can the fate of the three princesses be changed. What he did can be said to be unfaithful and unfilial, violated the instructions of his ancestors, and even made him an enemy of the people of Southern Xinjiang. If you say this is not destruction, what is it?"
Ye Xiuchen was startled. It was hard to imagine that the high priest would actually make enemies of the people of southern Xinjiang for the sake of a woman? He would even go so far as to subvert an imperial city?
He digested it for a while before he realized: "Did you guess all this?"
Xiao Chengyi was noncommittal, he snorted and said: "If I hadn't guessed his thoughts, do you think I would join him and help him?"
He saw the high priest's deep love for the third princess, so he chose to help him. Who would have thought that the high priest would be so ignorant of good and evil.
Ye Xiuchen finally understood. He looked at Xiao Chengyi and said, "How did you figure it out?"
Why didn't he see it? You know, they didn't even see the high priest's face, but Xiao Chengyi guessed what he was thinking based on a few words he said to the high priest?
Is it possible that this person is a god?
Xiao Chengyi smiled and said: "Actually, I wasn't so sure at first, until I saw the flower on the forehead of the third princess on the street.
Don’t you think the Flower of the Other Side is very similar to them? It is said that the Flower of the Other Side blooms on the Huangquan Road. It blooms for a thousand years and falls for a thousand years. The flowers and leaves will never see each other. It is like lovers who are in love but cannot be together."
Ye Xiuchen frowned slightly: "You mean, the third princess also likes the high priest?"
"Um."
Xiao Chengyi responded: "On the street, I asked her if she had anyone she loved. She hesitated for a moment before shaking her head. Do you still remember what she answered at that time?"
Ye Xiuchen nodded: "She said that not everyone can stay together with the one they love like you."
Xiao Chengyi sighed, with a somewhat regretful tone; "What you mean by this is that she can't be with the person she loves, isn't it?"
Ye Xiuchen thought about it now, and it seemed that this was what the three princesses wanted to express. He asked again: "Then why did she run away? As long as the high priest changed the inheritance of Southern Xinjiang, wouldn't she be able to be with his beloved?
Is it done?"
Xiao Chengyi smiled and shook his head: "You think of things too simply. Mission is something you are born with. Do you think you can let it go casually?
Furthermore, I think the third princess may not know the true intention of the high priest. Maybe she has long seen that the high priest wants to seize the throne. Isn't her escape a kind of fulfillment and a kind of giving up? "
He looked at Ye Xiuchen who looked puzzled, reached out and patted his shoulder and said, "You will understand when you have someone you love."
Ye Xiuchen: "..."
His mood was a little complicated, and he asked after a moment of silence: "Then what should we do now? Just waste time in southern Xinjiang? If the third princess doesn't come back, won't we have to be imprisoned for the rest of our lives?"
Xiao Chengyi's face darkened, and he said in a cold voice: "So, even with what the high priest did today, I won't let him get what he wants."
Ye Xiuchen's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he asked excitedly: "Do you have an idea?"
Xiao Chengyi said lightly: "No."
Ye Xiuchen choked: "Then what harsh words did you say? I thought you already had an idea."
