Chapter 182 Priest Temple
The eighth day of May came in a blink of an eye.

It's just that the development of things is beyond everyone's expectations.

Everyone thought that the queen and the high priest were married, and the ceremony was held in the palace, so that it could effectively declare that the only ruler of Jiuluo was His Majesty the Queen, which showed that the only supreme existence of Jiuluo was also Her Majesty the Queen. From now on, Jiuluo will abolish the system of equal respect between the queen and the high priest.

Including those who were hiding in the dark and planning to create a conspiracy, no one thought that when the auspicious time was approaching, the Ministry of Rituals notified all the etiquette preparations, and the nuns and maids serving the queen discovered that her majesty had disappeared from the palace.

Everyone was shocked, and while they were waiting to inquire and search, Her Majesty's order came from the priest's hall that the grand ceremony will be temporarily changed to the Holy Palace, one of the nine palaces of the priest's hall, in order to obtain God's blessing and favor.

To be married to the high priest is against the law of heaven. Her Majesty the Queen chose to hold a worship ceremony in front of the gods, openly challenging the power of the gods. Except for the high priest, all the hundreds of white-robed waiters in the priest's hall were outraged. Under the hint in his eyes, he dared to be angry but did not dare to speak.

The Qilin Street outside the main entrance of the Imperial Palace has gathered countless crowds since before dawn. The Palace dispatched [-] imperial soldiers to maintain order on the streets of the Imperial City, blocking all those who join in the fun and those with malicious intentions in the wide open space. Street two.

Extending from the gate of the palace to the hall of priests, the red felt covered the long corridor, and all irrelevant people were stopped outside the red felt.As dusk approached, the bustling crowd finally saw Empress Luan driving out of the palace in a mighty manner.

The imperial forest army cleared the way, the bright yellow canopy, the feather fan and the precious streamer fully displayed the royal majesty.

There was a moment of silence between heaven and earth, the streets where nearly 10 people gathered were silent, and all Jiuluo subjects knelt down.It's just that there was no voice of admiration shouting "Long Live the Empress". When they looked around, everyone had a strange expression on their faces that they didn't dare to show blatantly.

No one saw the figure of the empress who was supposed to appear in that car.

The priest's hall is the most sacred palace in Jiuluo. There is one high priest, 49 ordinary priests, and hundreds of waiters. Except for the priests and attendants of the priest's hall, outsiders are not allowed by the high priest. If they break into the priest's hall without authorization, they will be banned. Considered blasphemy against God, punishable by capital punishment.

Except for a very few people who knew the truth, no one knew that Her Majesty the Empress was already in the most prestigious holy palace of the Priest Hall, alone with the High Priest.

"I have changed the marriage ceremony to the priest's hall according to your request, what dissatisfaction do you have?!"

A woman in a bright yellow dragon robe, showing royal nobility all over her body, stood upright in the center of the hall. Under the noble and eye-catching crown, was a bright and beautiful face. At this time, the divine eyes were full of anger, and his face turned cold, showing the majesty of the emperor.

Even if she is a woman, she has to say that the aura she exudes faintly is no less than that of a man who has experienced battles or holds a lot of power.

The noble indifference with anger and no smile is becoming more and more daunting.

The man in a cold white robe sitting on the altar in front of him looks to be 25 or [-] years old, with handsome features. Such a young and handsome high priest is the spirit of the Jiuluo Kingdom, from the imperial Qin nobles down to the common people. Everyone respects him like a god, and dare not show any disrespect.

At this time, the man closed his eyes and remained silent, as if he had never heard what the woman in the palace said.

"Bai, Qi, Lang!" The Queen's complexion became more and more ugly, and her tone of gnashing teeth made people have no doubt that her anger had reached the extreme critical point, on the verge of erupting.

All ordinary priests and attendants stayed in the outer hall and waited. This deepest temple, except for the high priest, was not eligible for anyone to enter.

The man on the altar seemed to have finally realized the surging anger that could not be concealed by the incomparably noble Queen, and slowly opened his eyes. His holy pupils were pure as if they were not stained with dust, and there was no emotion in the bottom of the eyes. Serving the gods makes him look like he has no desires, an indifferent attitude.

"This hall has promised to marry His Majesty, and His Majesty's wish for many years will finally be fulfilled. Why are you angry at this time?" The clear and warm voice contained no trace of anger, nor could there be any emotion that a normal human being should have.

The Queen's expression changed, she gritted her teeth and was furious: "What is my wish for many years, do you really think that this beautiful country is so worthy of my nostalgia, and even force you by this means?"

"If not, what is the so-called reason for Your Majesty to do such an act against the heavens?" The white robed man's voice was ethereal and clueless. Even though this sentence sounded like a question, his tone did not listen at all There is no smell of questioning.

"Doing against the sky, risking the disgrace of the world..." Her Majesty suppressed the roiling anger, took a deep breath, and said coldly: "What a defiant! The emperor is ordered by the sky, so he is called the Son of Heaven, I went against the heavens for the sake of the Son of Heaven's dictatorship, am I out of my mind?! Bai Qilang, why do you really not understand? Or do you simply not want to understand?!"

"This hall really doesn't understand." Bai Qilang, a white-robed man sitting on the altar, did not move, his eyelids drooped slightly, and he couldn't see clearly what was going on in his eyes. Only a pure and dust-free aura continued to flow from his body, " This palace doesn't understand that there are so many beautiful men in Her Majesty's harem, dignified and generous, mighty, domineering, gentle and considerate, alluring and charming, if it is not for imperial power, why does Your Majesty insist on Bai?"

"Bai Qilang," Empress Ye Wanqing felt powerless as if suddenly discouraged. All the anger disappeared without a trace in an instant. The smile on the corner of her mouth was beautiful but with a bitter self-deprecating taste. Looking at the figure of Juechen on the altar in front of him, he said lightly: "If I knew that I would have this catastrophe, I would not have chosen to take this country, hold the world in my hands, and stand alone on the highest place, who would understand the cold wind?" Bone-piercing desolation? Do you think that I have countless harem, which is the greatest pleasure? But you will never believe it, Qi Lang, my huge harem is all fake. I have been on the throne for nine years, and I have never shared the rain and dew with anyone Zhihuan, those concubines who thought they had received the grace of the king, just took medicine and had hallucinations."

When Bai Qilang heard this, an inexplicable emotion quickly flashed in his lowered eyes.

The empress smiled wryly: "Since you retreated to pray for blessings for 49 days a year ago, when you came out again, I found that you have changed, and you have the emotions that normal human beings should have, joy, anger, sorrow, joy, maybe at that time, I've already moved my heart. Qi Lang, I won't play tricks on you, but why do you pretend to be clean and holy in front of me when you're obviously not a desireless person?"
