emperor cold concubine

Chapter 183
After the queen's voice fell, the hall fell into a long silence. The queen's eyes looked at the cold man in white in front of her. As time went by, the boundless silence dimmed the starlight in her eyes little by little.

All the priests and attendants were waiting in the outer hall. The auspicious time was about to pass, but the empress stood in the center of the hall all the time. No one dared to come in without a decree or order from the high priest.

The man in white raised his head, turned his eyes to the woman who was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe that could not hide her nobility and pride, and said flatly: "I am no longer the Bai Qilang I used to be."

This sentence is full of profound meaning, but the Queen didn't know if she understood it, and she also said indifferently: "I like you now. In the past, Bai Qilang only had God in his eyes, and he was lifeless all day long. Now you are more Some vitality that humans should have."

"His Majesty……"

The queen smiled, her eyebrows and eyes were stained with a bright brilliance that cannot be ignored, and she said softly: "I want to hear you call my name."

A trace of complicated emotions flashed in Bai Qilang's eyes, but he still said: "Your Majesty, the auspicious time has come. People have been waiting outside for a long time. Call them all in."

They refer to all the 49 priests of the Priest Hall and the royal family members.

"Yeah, they are really getting impatient." The queen smiled meaningfully, "Qi Lang, I want to know that the reason you asked to change the wedding ceremony to the priest's hall is to prevent them from harming others. Me?"

Bai Qilang looked at her, but didn't speak, he didn't know what to say.

The empress was right. Today, the grand ceremony planned to be held on the high tower of the imperial gate was canceled because of his words, which also ruined the extremely well-planned secret plan.

It is not surprising that the queen knew in advance, she is not a stupid person, but, how can those people who are about to make a move give up because of this?
"The Imperial Forest Army has only 10 people, and His Majesty arranged half of them to guard the imperial roads of the imperial city. 1 people were waiting outside the hall of priests, and there were less than [-] people guarding the gates of the nine palaces in the palace. At this time, the army is almost empty, and His Majesty is not worried at all that they will take this opportunity to occupy the Luan Palace and win the jade seal? What His Majesty has done today has already angered many subjects. If the princess initiates a palace change, His Majesty will almost There is no chance of winning..."

"Qi Lang, you underestimate me." The queen gave him a blank look, and said indifferently: "Since I dare to make this decision, I'm not afraid of her tricks, but if I can't be sure that nothing will go wrong, I will rush to do it, and I will suffer a disadvantage." It will only be her herself, the so-called wrong step, the whole game will be lost... and the price of losing will be very tragic."

Bai Qilang looked at her quietly without saying a word.

"However, I'm curious, Qi Lang, how did you know that Wanrou will launch the palace change today?" The empress's expression remained unchanged, and she looked at Bai Qilang indifferently, "You stayed in the temple all day and never took a single step. , the duty of the priests and servants in the Priest Hall is to serve the gods, not the dead soldiers and spies of the royal family, I really want to know, why are you so sure that Wanrou will launch a palace change today?"

"You doubt me?" Bai Qilang smiled faintly, the boundless coldness and holy aura disappeared instantly, the smile on his lips seemed to be profound and incomprehensible, "You should doubt me, my majesty."

Standing up from the altar, Bai Qilang jumped off the ground lightly, walked up to the queen step by step, took her white and flawless handprint and kissed her lightly, raised his head and watched her quietly, for a long while, he said with a low laugh: " My dear majesty, you are right, I really shouldn't pretend to be clean and holy every day, blaspheming the gods in vain, and I am also very tired... You ask me how I know that the third princess will activate today Palace change? Because, I also participated in it, my lord."

The queen stood quietly, looked at him quietly, and said nothing quietly.

"Your Majesty, you are so beautiful." Bai Qilang lifted her chin gently, his expression was so gentle, but his eyes were clear and clear, "Not only is your face beautiful, but your temperament is also very attractive. If Your Majesty It's just an ordinary woman, Qi Lang would be very willing to fly with His Majesty. But, Your Majesty, why do you still fall in love with me when there are so many beautiful men in your harem? Do you think I will be willing to share a wife with countless men? Or Do you think that Bai Qilang would be willing to become a member of His Majesty's harem, waiting for His Majesty's whim, and be grateful for it?"

"So you secretly cooperate with Wanrou's plan, help her cultivate dead soldiers, help her prepare poison, and even help her plan to deal with me secretly?" The queen's voice was soft, and she sounded extremely calm. Even if she knew the truth, she did not lose her composure at all. Or panic.

Bai Qilang was silent for a while, and said: "Your Majesty already knew about it."

"Do you think my eyes are blind?" Night cleared his voice lightly, turned to face the direction of the altar, stared quietly for a moment, and said, "Now why did you suddenly change your mind?"

"Because I don't want you to die." Bai Qilang said with a smile, "The third princess is resourceful, but her temper is too selfish and narrow-minded. How can Qi Lang have the heart to hand over His Majesty's country to such a person?"

"..."

"Your Majesty has been on the throne for nine years, but he has never met anyone in the harem...... Does Qi Lang know the reason?"

The queen said lightly: "My skin is sensitive, any man who touches me even a little bit will get rashes all over his body."

Bai Qilang was stunned, "How come?"

"Nothing strange." The queen's expression was extremely calm, "When I came to the throne, there were too many people with evil intentions. In order to protect myself, I took a kind of medicine. Whenever any man touched me, I would get a rash. I feel unwell all over, and even the imperial doctor couldn't find out the specific cause, let alone prescribe prescriptions for diagnosis and treatment. Over time, they got used to this strange problem of mine, and accepted their fate in the deep palace loneliness."

I will accept my fate when I am lonely in the deep palace... No matter how I listen to this sentence, I feel weird. I always talk about the loneliness in the deep palace. It is always a woman, and now I say these words from her mouth... The corners of Bai Qilang's mouth twitched , could not help but be silent.

"But, Bai Qilang, you touched me just now, but I didn't respond." The queen said calmly.

Bai Qilang raised his eyebrows: "So what?"

"Not much." The queen turned around and gave him a slight glance, "We two, we can pay homage."

Bai Qilang remained silent, the queen raised her voice and called everyone in the outer hall to come into the hall.

The heavy palace door was slowly opened, and the priests guarding the outside and the royal family came in in two rows one by one. The row on the left was all 49 priests in white robes, and the row on the right was led by the great prince of Jiuluo. The empress's uncle, who is also in charge of the eighty thousand dragon cavalry guards, is followed by the only unmarried princess in Jiuluoluo, the empress' third sister, Situ Wanrou, who enters the palace at this time. Although he tried his best to maintain a solemn and respectful expression, he couldn't hide the resentment and unwillingness in his eyes.

Empress Quan didn't know that when the accompanying maids came to the altar with bright red wedding dresses and various wedding decorations and started to arrange this sacred hall into a temporary wedding hall, the Empress and Bai Qilang just quietly Stand aside and don't speak.

"Your Majesty's marriage ceremony should be held on the upper floor of the imperial palace, why did you suddenly change your mind?" The great prince Ye Jinghai stared deeply at the pair of Bi people standing aside, his face was obviously ugly, but he showed a bit of fearlessness and direct admonition just right. The indignation said, "Your Majesty is the queen of my Jiuluo. The queen's marriage is a marriage, not a wedding. The Ministry of Rites has arranged all the wedding etiquette, but the queen quietly changed the wedding ceremony to the priest's hall, without even notifying anyone in advance. Xitang It's also a hasty arrangement, doesn't Your Majesty think this move is too capricious?"

The empress narrowed her eyes slowly, "Is the great emperor questioning me?"

Ye Jinghai bowed slightly and said, "I don't dare, but where does the empress put the dignity of the royal family?"

Where do you put the dignity of the royal family? The empress sneered secretly, it should be to make your plan come to nothing, is it a waste of work?
"Uncle, I don't know if the dignity of the royal family is more important, or whether Jiuluo can get the protection of the gods?" The queen asked coldly, "I married the high priest and chose to hold it in the priest's hall. I just want to pray for the blessing of the gods with a sincere heart. , and after getting married, I will serve the gods together with the high priest."

"Your Majesty personally serves the gods?" Ye Jinghai raised his head in shock, "This... Jiu Luo has never had such a precedent..."

Her Majesty the Queen said quietly: "So what if I set a precedent?"

Ye Jinghai clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and remained silent.

"Your Majesty..." Situ Wanrou began to speak.

The queen said indifferently: "If you delay any longer, the auspicious time will be over. Let's talk about Wanrou's business after the marriage ceremony between me and the high priest is over."

Situ Wanrou's expression froze, she lowered her eyelids to cover up the frightening evilness in it, and said very respectfully: "Yes."

The great prince Ye Jinghai still did not give up, and continued: "But Your Majesty, countless wealthy businessmen and martial arts scholars, as well as envoys from various countries who came to congratulate the imperial city today, all want to see the demeanor of Your Majesty and the High Priest. , Your Majesty intends to disappoint the subjects of various countries who came from thousands of miles away?"

The queen smiled, but there was no smile in her eyes, "I am married to the high priest, what has it to do with them?"

Ye Jinghai's complexion changed, and he said angrily: "Your Majesty's words, isn't it chilling? Countless people from Jiuluo and other countries gathered on the corridors of the imperial city before dawn, just to see His Majesty and the High Priest. This is a rare wedding ceremony, but His Majesty intends to hastily complete the ceremony in this temple, His Majesty is the king of a country, not ordinary people, how can the wedding ceremony be so hasty?"

Of course Ye Qing would not tell him that her original intention was to hold the grand ceremony on the highest gate tower of the palace, and she wanted to announce to the world with the most grand ceremony that Empress Jiuluo and the high priest became a legitimate couple.She doesn't pay much attention to etiquette, ancestral system, and public opinion, even if the great prince who holds [-] dragon riders joins forces with his own sister to murder her, she doesn't care at all.

Of course she would not tell him that it was the high priest's request to temporarily change the marriage to the priest's hall, and they could do whatever they wanted, since Bai Qilang didn't care about the form, everything was up to him.
