Chapter 152
"Imperial City? Why such a name?" Yan Kaiting rode a horse and stood under the city gate, looking at the two big characters written on the tall city wall.

"Heh." Yan Kaiting chuckled, looking into the city, Yan Kaiting really hoped that the city would not let him down.

The leader of the officers and soldiers was named Luo Wuwei. Luo Wuwei walked to the city gate, greeted the officers and soldiers guarding the gate, and they rode into the city.

As soon as he entered the city, Yan Kaiting's jaw dropped to the ground in astonishment.

Usually, the city is full of people coming and going, shops are everywhere, and it is noisy, but for some reason, as soon as this imperial city enters, it is full of incense. Looking around, I found that no matter whether it is heaven, man or demon, there are people in the city. Do something like worship.Holding a few sticks of incense in his hand, he knelt on the ground facing one direction, mumbling something in his mouth, after a while, he stood up again, took a few steps forward, knelt down again, and repeated.

Yan Kaiting asked, "What is this doing?"

Luo Wuwei said: "Our princess is an adult, and the high priest is holding sacrificial activities these few days. For three days, a full three days, people have to worship like this for two hours every day."

"Two hours?"

"Yes." Luo Wuwei said: "Although the high priest values ​​sacrificial activities, the people in the city still have to live a normal life. Except for the priests under the high priest, ordinary people can worship for two hours a day. They We are praying, let's go quickly."

"But." Yan Kaiting frowned and asked, "Who are they begging for?"

Luo Wuwei smiled helplessly, and said: "Who else can it be, our god Qianxia God!"

"Qianxia God?" Yan Kaiting smiled inwardly, it was really fun to have such a god.

Everyone was worshiping on the road, so Luo Wuwei took a shortcut and ran to the palace where the princess lived, the Imperial City Winter Palace.

This imperial city was bigger than any city Yan Kaiting had ever seen. The winged pegasus under him was already extremely fast, but it took him two or three hours before he arrived outside the winter palace of the imperial city.

Yan Kaiting looked at the palace city where the princess lived, and was really surprised. The palace city occupies a very large area from above, and the palaces of all sizes make up the entire Winter Palace. Yan Kaiting couldn't count them. In front of the city gate of the Winter Palace, the vermilion golden gate gradually opened, and what appeared in front of Yan Kaiting was a palace with various utensils. The palace was beautifully shaped and the reliefs were exquisite, which made people amazed.

"Let's go!" Luo Wuwei looked at Yan Kaiting and said, "The high priest is now presiding over the sacrificial activities in front of the main entrance of the Winter Palace. It is inconvenient for us to enter through the main entrance, so we will use the side entrance."

"Side door? The side door is still so big?" Yan Kaiting looked at this huge door in surprise. This huge door is as tall as a three-story building. When it is opened, it must be pushed open by eight celestial guards .The side entrance is so big, how grand is the main entrance?

Luo Wuwei laughed a few times, and said: "Our Qianxia Kingdom has thousands of years, and the Winter Palace has thousands of years. These are all left over from thousands of years ago, isn't it amazing?"

Yan Kaiting swallowed, followed Luo Wuwei and continued walking towards the palace.

The entire Winter Palace, it is said that I have to walk for half a month in it to finish shopping. There are countless small palaces that make up the entire Winter Palace, and the very tall, gorgeous and resplendent palace in the center is where the princess lives every day. The temple is gone.

All the palaces here belong to the queen, and even the Qianxia Kingdom belongs to the queen alone.I don't know what kind of woman this is, who can manage such a big country.Yan Kaiting thought about it, and before he knew it, he had arrived at the gate of the palace where the princess lived.

"The princess has ordered you to be brought to her as soon as we find you. We can only send you here, and someone will come to pick you up later."

Standing at the entrance of the main hall called the Supreme Hall, Luo Wuwei smiled at Yan Kaiting, saw a few women who looked like court ladies in brocade clothes coming out of the palace, and nodded to them, Turn around and leave.

Yan Kaiting got off the horse and looked at the palace in front of him.

This palace seems to be as tall as a small library with a door, but it is so much bigger. The entire outer wall is resplendent and resplendent, with various exquisite patterns carved on it, and some of the walls are inlaid with jade. In short, it is gorgeous. The abnormality made Yan Kaiting, who was used to gold and silver treasures, speechless.

How much gold would it cost to build such a palace.

Six court ladies walked up to them, all with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, but their faces were very clear and beautiful. They were dressed in fine clothes and said: "Master, please follow us in."

Yan Kaiting nodded, followed the maid up the steps, and walked towards the palace.

Walking up the steps, Yan Kaiting found that the floor of the steps was actually paved with white jade. Yan Kaiting looked at the vermilion carved gate of the palace, and felt uneasy.He always felt that something was waiting for him, but he couldn't explain it clearly.

"Master, when meeting for the first time, you should not look directly at the princess, but bow your head."

A court lady reminded, Yan opened the court with a cry, so she lowered her head, waited for the gate to open, and followed the palace lady in.

Along the way, Yan Kaiting stared at the white jade floor under his feet. These jade stones did not seem to be chopped and paved, but seemed to be a whole piece of white jade. My God, where can such a large piece of white jade be picked?Yan Kaiting thought about it in his heart, but he didn't know where his mind went. He even forgot that he had already stood in the center of the hall, and the princess was sitting on the throne.

"you"

A familiar voice came from beside him, and Yan Kaiting came to his senses for an instant, and subconsciously looked up at the source of the voice.

"Master, don't do it!" But before he could raise his head completely, he was lightly tapped by a court lady, and immediately, his head unconsciously lowered, and he couldn't raise it no matter what.

Why is this voice so familiar?

"You are so brave."

The voice came again, Yan Kaiting understood it this time, it was clearly Xie Wuxiang's voice!

It's just that now I can't lift my head no matter what, the maid next to me reminded me again: "Hurry up and salute the princess!"

Yan Kaiting was stunned for a moment, then cupped his hands and said: "I will be in court at Xiayan, and I will meet the princess."

There was a moment of silence, and the princess did not answer Yan Kaiting. After a while, the princess slowly uttered a few words and said, "Are you the one selected by the high priest?"

Yan Kaiting nodded and said, "It is said that it is."

Yan Kaiting seemed to hear the princess humming softly, and said: "That's right, it really belongs to the fire and thunder species."

All of this suddenly became less important to Yan Kaiting, at this moment he just wanted to raise his head and take a look at the person in front of him.

"Excuse me, can you let me raise my head? I want to see you!" Yan Kaiting said.

"Master!" The maids around her all reminded, but the emperor raised her hand lightly, and the surrounding maids immediately fell silent and stopped talking.

Suddenly, Yan Kaiting felt a heavy pressure on his neck loosen, as if some heavy burden had been lifted, Yan Kaiting knew that the imprisonment of his head lowered had been released.

Yan Kaiting raised his head and looked at the princess sitting on the top of the hall, as if he had been hit. As expected, the princess was Xie Wuxiang!
"Wuxiang!" Yan Kaiting wanted to take a step forward, but just as he stepped out, he couldn't move anymore.

The princess above looked at Yan Kaiting and frowned slightly, and said, "You are really making progress."

Yan Kaiting looked at the eyes of the princess looking at him, it really didn't look like Xie Wuxiang's eyes, but both of them had the same cold expression, as high as a heavenly girl.Compared with the usual Xie Wuxiang, this princess is much more luxurious at this time. She is wearing a golden robe embroidered with various silver threads, as if wearing a painting with a profound artistic conception on her body. Drag it to the ground.Her jet-black hair was coiled into a very unique bun on her head, with all kinds of beautiful golden hairpins inserted, and strings of white jade beads hanging down. At this time, she was leaning on a very luxurious golden On the bench, the bench was very exquisite, and it was covered with a top-quality snow fox blanket. The princess was sitting on it and was drinking a small cup of tea.

On both sides of her stood a palace lady, holding a silk feather fan, sending the emperor a cool breeze. In front of the emperor, squatted a palace lady, holding a plate full of ice cubes.

"Prince...?" Yan Kaiting called softly, the princess looked at him coldly, Yan Kaiting only felt his face turn red, and lowered his head.

It's not once or twice that Xie Wuxiang looked at her like this, why am I still shy?Could it be because he wanted to marry her?Thinking of this, Yan Kaiting's heart jumped up.Unexpectedly, when I came to this place, I encountered such a good thing.

Yan Kaiting was thinking about what to say to the princess, when he heard a rush of footsteps outside, and then a court lady ran in with small steps, knelt down beside him, and said to the queen: "Prince, High Priest See you outside."

The princess was slightly moved, sat up straight, and said: "Oh? Isn't he still presiding over the sacrificial activities? Why are you here now?"

The maid said: "It seems that someone leaked the news and said that the person who belonged to Fire and Thunder has been found, so the high priest rushed to find him."

The princess snorted, glanced at Yan Kaiting, and then said to the court lady: "Since he is here, let him come in."

"Yes." The palace maid responded, then turned around and walked out of the palace gate to report. After a while, an old man with a white beard who was covered in dark blue long clothes and held a sacrificial guard walked in.

It seems that this is the legendary high priest, and he calculated himself.Thinking about it, I have to thank this old man.

The high priest walked in, and his eyes kept hanging on Yan Kaiting's body. Yan Kaiting's scalp was numb for a while, and he smiled like the high priest nodded, which was counted as a salute. In front of him, he made a bow and said: "The old man pays homage to the imperial daughter."

"Get up." The princess gently raised her hand.

The high priest stood up straight, and said: "The old man heard that the emperor had found him, so he rushed to visit him, and he didn't know why the emperor was so anxious, and even recruited this person into the palace. If this person has an ominous Things, wouldn't it hinder your eyes, princess."

The princess chuckled a few times, and said: "How could it be? How can the people of my Qianxia Kingdom have something ominous? I'm just curious."

The high priest nodded and said: "Since I have seen it, the princess should also prepare earlier. The two of you should get to know each other well. It is best to get married as soon as possible, so as to ensure the stability of our Qianxia country, the country and the people."

"High Priest, you are too anxious. How long have I seen this person? I have to get along with him for a while." The princess put down the teacup in her hand and beckoned, and a court lady brought a plate of iced tea. Kneeling in front of the princess, the princess gently picked up a grape and put it into the little cherry mouth.

Seeing this scene, Yan Kaiting swallowed, it wasn't that he was thinking about the iced fruit, Xie Wuxiang's appearance was so tempting, Yan Kaiting wished to become a grape in her mouth, even if it was chewed, It can also be stained on her moist red lips.

The high priest cupped his hands and said, "It's reasonable to get along with each other, but I still hope that the imperial daughter can get acquainted with the imperial husband as soon as possible, so that people in the world can rest assured."

The princess nodded and said: "Understood, I will arrange for him to live in the palace, you go down first."

The high priest bowed to the imperial daughter, then turned to Yan Kaiting, bowed to Yan Kaiting, and said: "I also ask the emperor to take care of you."

Yan opened the court and returned a salute, his heart bursting with laughter, not to mention worrying, he was willing to show his heart.

After the high priest left, Yan Kaiting looked at the princess and said: "Then, I will live with you?"

The queen gave Yan Kaiting a cold look, and said: "Do you know how big this Supreme Hall is, and it must be difficult for us to meet you if you live here."

Hearing what the princess means, is she dissatisfied with her husband-in-law?Yan Kai didn't care about it, it seemed that if she was in her position, she would have to find a job. As an imperial concubine, Xie Wuxiang wanted to marry herself even if she didn't want to.Thinking of being able to have a consummation with her here, Yan Kaiting's heart couldn't help but feel joyful.

The princess stretched out her hand lightly, summoned a court lady, and said, "Winter Solstice, go ask the servants to make arrangements, and find him a random place to live, right in this Supreme Hall."

"Yes." The palace lady named Dongzhi bowed to the queen, then walked up to Yan Kaiting, lowered her eyebrows and said, "Husband, come with me."

Yan Kaiting glanced at the imperial daughter reluctantly, without concealing her feelings at all, and followed the winter solstice to the Supreme Hall. The imperial daughter looked at his back, snorted coldly, and did not speak.

For the next period of time, Yan Kaiting stayed in the Supreme Hall and found out that it was just like what the princess said, the Supreme Hall is so big that he couldn't meet the princess by chance, but the princess still came here every day because of her obligation Meet with Yan Kaiting.

Every time the imperial daughter came, Yan Kaiting had to tidy herself up and down, and sat upright, waiting for the imperial daughter to arrive.

Yan Kaiting gradually discovered that the princess had no interest in girls at all, and when she met with her every day, the things she talked about were only family affairs, and the relationship between the two was not mentioned at all. However, being able to talk to the princess Yan was very satisfied with the court session, so she couldn't be picky about what was said between the two of them.

On this day, when the queen came, her brows were slightly frowned again. The two sat together in the garden on the top floor of the Supreme Hall, eating snacks and drinking green tea. Shaking his head, his brows still refused to let go.

"what happened?"

Yan Kaiting asked cautiously, for fear that he would make the imperial daughter unhappy. He was not afraid of the imperial daughter, but felt sorry for her.She is such a weak woman, but she has to govern the huge Qianxia Kingdom, and how many state affairs she has to deal with every day, most people may not be able to imagine.

The princess raised her eyes to look at Yan, and then sighed.

Yan Kaiting looked at the princess sincerely, and said: "If you have any difficulties, you might as well tell me. Although I don't understand state affairs, I still have some ideas."

The princess nodded. After getting along these days, she also found that Yan Kaiting didn't seem to be very familiar with state affairs, even everything about Qianxia Kingdom, such as customs and customs, but his mind was spinning very fast. , very smart, some things he can't figure out, Yan Kaiting can also give him some ideas or give some pointers.

"You know, in our Qianxia Kingdom, humans and demons live together, and demons and demons have always lived in peace." The princess put down her snack, and the maid handed a handkerchief to the side. The princess wiped her mouth, looked at Yan Kaiting and said, "Although live in peace, but heaven and man have always been noble and aristocratic, while heavenly demons can only live at the bottom."

Yan Kaiting nodded, and he also discovered that no matter whether they are in the civil service or in the court, those who do some low-level work are all demons, and heavenly beings, even if they are in front of an errand, the status It is also higher than Heavenly Demon.

"So?" Yan Kaiting asked.

The princess said: "I used to think this was the norm, but I didn't expect it to become more serious now. A large number of demons live at the bottom. There has been long-term dissatisfaction and long-standing grievances. There have been small riots in various remote areas."

Yan Kaiting nodded, and said: "It turns out that this is the case. If it is not resolved, the heavenly demons will unite, and it is very likely that the current rule of heaven and man will be overthrown."

The princess smiled and said: "The power of heaven and man is very great, but I am not afraid of them. I just feel that riots are frequent, and both heaven and man will be hurt. They are all my people. I don't want to see them." hands."

Yan Kaiting looked at the imperial daughter. As the lord of a country, she didn't know if the people of the country knew about her compassion.

"Although I want to change, but the Chaozhongtian people are powerful, even if it is a change, it will not be a short-term thing."

Yan Kaiting nodded and said: "That's true, but how do the people know when you express your attitude in the court?"

The princess was taken aback for a moment, and said: "Then how can I let the thousands of people in the Qianxia Kingdom know my intentions?"

Yan Kaiting pondered for a while, and said: "Rushlessly promoting some officials of the Heavenly Demon, or giving the Heavenly Demon some special care will indeed touch the interests of some Heavenly and Human forces, so we might as well adopt some gentler ways to show the people that the people from the Heavenly Demon Your personal opinion."

The princess nodded and signaled Yan Kaiting to continue talking.

Yan Kaiting said: "Do you have a ceremony after you become an adult, such as a coming-of-age ceremony?"

The princess shook her head and said, "There are only sacrificial activities, nothing else."

Yan Kaiting knew that there was no such custom in Qianxia Kingdom, so he said, "How about having a grand banquet with you as the protagonist?"

"Banquet?" The princess asked suspiciously, "Is it held in the palace?" "

Yan Kaiting shook his head with a smile, and said, "Of course not, it's being held across the country. Of course, it's not asking you to go there, but ordering officials from all over the place to hold it."

"And then?" Listening, the princess was also interested, and Yan Kaiting continued: "Just say, to celebrate your coming of age, the whole country will hold a feast and invite all the people to participate, so As soon as it came, the local officials had to organize manpower, and then you ordered those who participated in the banquet to be treated favorably. As a result, many people signed up and wanted to participate, and then you said, because the demon has always been very careful about some chores , and asked the officials to recruit more heavenly demons to take charge of the affairs of the banquet."

"In this way, for the sake of money, the demons will also actively participate. Once they get busy, they don't have any thoughts about riots. In addition, you still praise them and invite them to join forces with the heavens." If people attend the banquet together, the dissatisfaction in their hearts will be less."

After listening to Yan Kaiting, the princess thought about it, then her eyes lit up, and she said: "It is indeed a good way."

Yan Kaiting looked at her and said: "Although there will still be some resistance, it's a little bit less after all. In the future, continue to think of other ways, and don't rush everything."

The princess nodded, looked at Yan Kaiting and said, "Unexpectedly, you are quite smart."

Yan Kaiting was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's just some cleverness, nothing to worry about."

The princess shrugged her shoulders, stood up, and said: "Today, you should rest first. I'll go back so I can sort out this matter. If possible, it will start tomorrow."

Yan Kaiting also stood up, said hello, and watched the princess leave. After the princess left, Yan Kaiting strolled in the garden on the top floor, looking forward to meeting the princess again tomorrow.

In the next half month, the princess came to discuss this matter with Yan Kaiting every day, and soon after, the riots gradually subsided, and the princess was very happy, so she made an appointment with Yan Kaiting to go to the theater at night.

The high priest was very happy when he heard the news. He looked at the figures of the two sitting under the stage, stroked their white beards, and nodded in satisfaction.

Unknowingly, many peaceful days have passed, and the distance between Yan Kaiting and the princess has gradually narrowed.During the contact with the imperial daughter, Yan Kaiting learned that the reason why this country is called Qianxia Kingdom is because it only has summer.This summer has lasted for thousands of years. When Yan Kaiting talked about autumn leaves and winter snow with the imperial daughter, the imperial daughter was at a loss for a while, and then sighed.

"Snow, I've only heard about it in ancient books, but I've never seen it before." The two sat in the garden, looking at the lush vegetation in front of them, the princess's expression was a little sad.

Yan Kaiting thought how great it would be if he had a cultivation base. His shuttle-shaped magic weapon had the function of changing the four seasons. No matter what he did, he could have a snowstorm with His Highness, so that the queen could take a look.

After such a long time, Yan Kaiting has been calling the emperor's daughter "the emperor's daughter". He really felt that he was a little bit born, so he asked, "I don't know what the emperor's daughter's boudoir name is?"

The princess blushed slightly, and asked, "Why are you asking this?"

Yan Kaiting smiled, and said: "We have known each other for almost two months, and we have never known your name. Calling you the emperor feels a little bit born. After all, we will still be husband and wife in the future."

The princess lowered her eyebrows, remained silent for a moment, and said, "Yi Han."

Yihan, like this winter palace, contains the hopes of the royal family, looking forward to the winter that has not arrived in a thousand years, to come again.

Yan Kaiting called out: "Yihan."

"Mmm," the princess replied lightly, then lowered her head even more, and her cheeks blushed involuntarily.She herself didn't know why, after getting along with Yan Kaiting these days, as long as she stayed with him, the usually all-powerful herself became very shy.

Could it be that he already fell in love with him?

Impossible, it won't be so fast, he is just a strange man brought from the people after the high priest's calculation, even if he likes him, it will be in the future, how could the door of his heart be opened so early?No, I just want to listen to his opinions on state affairs.

Yan Kaiting looked at the emperor's appearance, and thought of Xie Wuxiang, would she be shy?Her shy appearance should be exactly the same as that of the princess.

There is only one thing that Yan Kaiting has always been curious about, that is, why the marriage of the royal family is decided by the high priest. When asked about this, the princess sighed and said: "It can't be regarded as the decision of the high priest. According to the rules, the superior must be combined with the destined person, and our gods will bless the people of our country to be safe and smooth forever.”

Afterwards, the princess looked at Wangyan again and said: "When I came here, the high priest received instructions from the gods of Qianxia during a sacrificial activity. I want to marry a man of the fire genus Thunder. Rarely, there are only a few people in the entire Qianxia Kingdom, and the high priest's subsequent calculations point to you."

Yan Kaiting smiled and said: "Then it seems that our meeting is God's will."

The princess also nodded, and said: "Many ancestors, because they have never been happy in this life, I originally thought that I would end up in this way."

Afterwards, the princess looked at Yan Kaiting for the first time and said solemnly: "However, you are much better than I imagined."

"Yihan." Yan Kaiting was also moved by this sentence, and he reached out to caress the princess' fair cheek.

The princess turned sideways gently, avoiding Yan Kaiting's emotional move, Yan Kaiting also felt that he was a little too fast, put down his hands, and raised his head and said: "The moonlight tonight is so beautiful!"

After hearing these words, the princess also raised her head and looked at the sky. A round of bright moon hung high in the sky, exuding pure white and flawless light, and sprinkled all over her country. She has always believed that the moonlight is It is the coldest thing of all things.

Stretching out her hand, there were traces of moonlight dancing on the princess' white fingertips.

The next day, according to the usual practice, the princess was dealing with state affairs in the meeting hall. She was discussing some matters with a group of ministers, when she heard a rush of shouts from outside.

"Report!"

The princess frowned slightly, what's the matter, so flustered?A moment later, a messenger came running from the hall, knelt down in front of the princess, and said, "Your Highness, I have something important to report."

The princess saw that this man was wearing a military uniform, so she knew that he was a messenger from the army. A large part of the Qianxia Kingdom's army was stationed at the border of Zhongzhou where the imperial city was all year round. What happened to make the army report in such a panic.

"Let's talk first." Those present were all cabinet ministers, and they were all the confidantes of the princess, so they didn't have any scruples.

The messenger said: "It's not good, Your Royal Highness, there are two demonic cities on the border of Zhongzhou who rebelled. We didn't know why at the beginning. It has subsided for a long time under your appeasement, but I don't know why. This time , the original small riot turned into a large-scale rebellion. The generals sent spies to investigate. It turned out that there were rumors that the demon lord was about to reincarnate, and the badge on the altar in the city disappeared. Chaos."

"Reincarnation of the demon lord?" The princess frowned.

The messenger said: "In short, that's what the general said, and I told you to tell you this. The old people of the magic city, nostalgic for the old master, expelled the governor of heaven and man. These two cities are in a unique position, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and they are related to the former Facing the Demon Lord and being in the hinterland of Zhongzhou, the general dared not be self-confident for a while, so he reported to Her Majesty the Queen."

The princess nodded and said, "How are the two cities?"

The messenger replied: "It is not optimistic. There was a governor who was unwilling to leave, but was killed by the demons who were gathered."

Hearing this, the princess slapped the table heavily, stood up, and said: "It's unreasonable, I took care of them like that a few days ago, I was afraid that they would feel dissatisfied again, I didn't expect how long it would take, and this kind of behavior would appear. It was rumored that they would rise up? Hmph!"

At this time, a minister walked up to the queen, cupped his hands and said: "Your Highness, let alone whether they rebelled or not, where did the rumor of the devil's rebirth come from, we must thoroughly investigate it, and, The accuracy of this rumor.?"

The princess nodded, and asked the messenger kneeling below, "Your general should have already done an investigation, what's going on with this rumor?"

The messenger said: "Reporting to Your Royal Highness, the spies sent by the general came from the Heavenly Demon himself. I don't know who it is. The authenticity of this rumor has yet to be investigated. In short, these two cities are now It's a magic city."

The princess sat down, lowered her head and thought carefully, then, as if she was tired, she stood up, waved to the ministers, and said: "You go back first, let me be alone, I Come and think about it."

All the ministers responded and stepped back slowly. The princess sat on the throne with her hands on her forehead, as if she was very tired.At this time, Yan Kaiting was wandering in the huge winter palace, and saw a group of ministers slowly retreating from the palace, Yan Kaiting was curious, and walked towards the hall.

When all the officials saw Yan Kaiting, they all stood still and saluted Yan Kaiting. After Yan Kaiting returned the salute, they asked, "Is Your Highness still inside?"

Yan Kaiting pointed to the main hall and said, all the courtiers nodded, and one of them said: "His Royal Highness is entangled in state affairs and is very worrying. The emperor can accompany His Highness more, relieve His Highness's mood, and help her share some."

Hearing this, it seems that these courtiers have already recognized him very much, Yan Kaiting naturally has no reason to shirk, nodded and said: "Of course I will try my best."

After finishing speaking, Yan Kaiting walked towards the main hall.The guards outside the palace knew the emperor's husband who often wandered in the palace, so they didn't stop him. Yan Kaiting walked in like this, and saw the emperor sitting on the throne with her forehead propped up and her eyes closed.

"Yihan." Yan Kaiting whispered the imperial daughter's boudoir name, the imperial daughter's eyes half opened.

"What are you doing here?" The princess rubbed her painful temples, stood upright, and watched Yan's court session.

Yan Kaiting said: "I heard that you are very worried, so I want to come and see you. As expected, your complexion is really not very good."

The queen sighed softly, and said: "It's not about the demons. I comforted them like that a while ago. I thought they would restrain themselves, but I didn't expect that this time they have already committed rebellion. I just love my people again." , and this kind of thing cannot be tolerated.”

Yan Kaiting frowned and said, "Isn't it good? Why did you suddenly rebel?"

The princess said: "It is said that rumors of the devil's rebirth spread in the city. As a result, the old citizens of the devil city, nostalgic for the old master, expelled the governor of heaven and man, and rebelled." After finishing speaking, the princess only felt a headache , Yan Kaiting hurried forward to help her, and hugged her into his arms. This time, the princess did not refuse.

"What are you going to do?" Yan Kaiting asked.

The queen in her arms shook her head, and then said to a king's bodyguard standing on both sides of the throne: "Go and call the high priest."

"Yes!" The guard got the order, and trotted out the door. Not long after, the high priest walked in quickly with a cane, supported by the guard.

"Your Highness, but why? In such a hurry to call this old man over?" The high priest looked at the princess, then at Yan Kaiting who was beside the princess, and nodded to Yan Kaiting.

The princess nodded and said: "The high priest should sit down first, we can discuss some things."

The high priest walked to the place where the ministers were sitting just now and sat down. He looked at the princess with eager eyes, as if worried.

"Today, there was news that two cities on the border of Zhongzhou were in rebellion, and it was said that it was because of a rumor that the demon lord was reborn. Those two cities were easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the frontline didn't know how to deal with it, so they urgently reported it to the high priest. What do you think?" When the princess was talking, Yan Kaiting stepped aside and looked at the high priest, thinking that the high priest is the oldest and has rich experience, so he must be able to give a good idea.

Unexpectedly, after hearing the news, the high priest's originally nervous expression was relieved, as if he was half relieved.But this expression was undetectable, the princess was drinking tea to moisten her throat with her head down, she didn't see it at all, Yan Kaiting saw it, but the high priest didn't seem to care.

"Say, those two cities have turned into magic cities?" The high priest quickly put on a heavy expression, and even the wrinkles on his face were deeply twisted together.

The queen nodded and said "yes".

The high priest frowned, gently pinching the tip of his beard with one hand, making a thoughtful look, then opened his eyes, looked at the princess, and said, "No, we have to fight, we have to fight!"

"Our Qianxia country has been ruled by heaven and man for a long time. How can we say that the heavenly demons should be used to it. Besides, you have always treated them kindly, princess, and now you rebelled because of a rumor. If you really gained power, then it's okay?

Hearing these remarks, Yan Kaiting also thought it was reasonable, but for some reason, Yan Kaiting always found it strange. Although he couldn't express it, there was always such a feeling invisible.

After hearing this, the princess also looked solemn, and asked: "I think so too, but those two cities are really easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the soldiers are afraid to move forward. How can we deal with this?"

After hearing this, the high priest sighed, slapped his thigh hard, and said: "Those generals are really incompetent. In my opinion, it is better to let a talented person be the commander-in-chief of the army! But the whole country is full of talents. Our generals are already on the border of Zhongzhou, so who else...?"

The high priest was thinking hard, and kept looking at the princess who was also lowering her head in meditation, as if hinting at something, and seemed to be waiting for something, all of which were in the eyes of Yan Kaiting, and the high priest As if he didn't care at all, Yan Kaiting saw his slightly abnormal behavior.

The princess raised her head, glanced at Yan Kaiting, then turned to the high priest, and said, "I'll go in person!"
