Chapter 1029 High Priest
The empress looked at Prince Qing, "It's getting late. Let someone prepare a banquet. I will have dinner at your house tonight."
Prince Qing leaned forward and said, "As ordered!"
An hour later, everyone had dinner.
After eating and drinking to their heart's content.
Prince Qing was a man with good eyesight.
"Everyone, it's getting late. Don't go back to Zunwu Hall. Stay here at night."
Ning Chen nodded, indicating that he had no objection.
Prince Qing said, "Come here."
Several maids came in.
Prince Qing looked at Pan Yucheng and the other two, and said with a smile, "The room has been prepared for you. If you need anything, just tell the servants and go to bed early!"
"Thank you, Prince Qing!"
The three bowed and saluted, then followed the maid and left.
Xiao Yanxi had no objection either. This was Prince Qing's house. She couldn't live with Ning Chen, could she?
Even if she could, she would have to get the empress's approval.
The most important thing was that Ning Chen was now poisoned and couldn't be humane.
Prince Qing looked at the Empress and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince and the Princess will sleep with me tonight... I will not disturb you and the Prince. The room we used to sleep in is ready."
Ning Chen glanced at the Empress, then looked at Prince Qing, and said with a wry smile, "I can't sleep with you now, please prepare a room for me."
The Empress frowned slightly, feeling very unhappy. This bastard, doesn't he miss her after not seeing her for so long? Or does Ning Chen already hate her because she has given birth to two children?
Prince Qing said angrily, "What do you mean? Don't you want to spend more time with Your Majesty after not seeing him for so long?"
Ning Chen shrugged helplessly, "You misunderstood, it's not that I don't want to accompany you... It's that I have a problem with my body..."
Prince Qing exclaimed, "Are you impotent?"
Ning Chen's forehead was black, this coquettish bitch, can't she hope for him to be better?
Ning Chen said unhappily, "I'm poisoned, not what you said."
The Empress and Prince Qing were shocked!
The empress said hurriedly, "You are poisoned?"
Ning Chen nodded, "Yin Yang Gu... I heard that the poisonous insects in the world come from Wu Kingdom. Your Nanyue priest is quite capable. I want to ask him to help me get rid of the poison."
The empress looked solemn, "Yin Yang Gu, known as the king of all poisons? Who is so bold as to put a poison on you?"
Ning Chen smiled bitterly, "I don't know, I got it by accident, and it was in my own room in the City Lord's Mansion of Xuanwu City... I feel ashamed when I think about it.
How much do you know about Yin Yang Gu?"
The empress said, "We don't know much. The high priest went out to do things according to my order, but she should be back tomorrow. I will ask her to find you then."
Ning Chen nodded, "Thank you, my wife. When the poison in my body is cured, I will repay you well and teach you everything I know."
The empress blushed slightly, snorted proudly, and seemed to be disdainful.
.......
The next day.
Ning Chen and his friends did not return to Zunwu Hall.
The empress said that the high priest would come back today, and she would send the high priest to find Ning Chen.
The empress went to court early.
But she left the children behind.
Until the afternoon, Ning Chen was playing with two children in the yard.
Ning Chen carried one on each shoulder.
Wu Sijun and Little Lemon sat on Ning Chen's shoulders, and Ning Chen carried them around the yard.
The two children were very happy.
Little Lemon was still young and had no idea.
But it was Wu Sijun's wish to play with his father.
Today, he finally got what he wanted!
At this time, Prince Qing came.
She was accompanied by a charming beauty.
This woman had eyebrows and eyes like a painting, delicate features as if they were carefully carved, skin like cream, white as snow.
Ning Chen had seen many beauties, and each of his women was a beauty picked out of a million.
In terms of appearance alone, none of his women was inferior to this woman.
But this woman's skin was the whitest Ning Chen had ever seen.
However, her dress was very strange.
She was wearing a three-color checkered cloth patchwork Luo skirt, like a patchwork quilt.
She wore a silver hat on her head, which was beautifully shaped, like the silver headdress of modern Miao girls. She also wore a golden longevity lock on her chest, and held a black and red tiger-headed cane in her hand, which seemed to be made of some tree roots or vines.
Ning Chen couldn't help but wonder, could this be the high priest of Wu State?
At this time, King Qing smiled and said, "Your Majesty, this is the high priest."
Ning Chen couldn't help but be startled, and he really guessed it right.
No one told him whether the high priest of Wu State was a man or a woman?
He instinctively thought that the high priest of Wu State was a man, or an old woman, anyway, she must be very old.
But he never thought that the high priest of Wu State was actually a charming beauty.
Immediately, King Qing introduced Ning Chen to the high priest.
The high priest stepped forward and bowed, saying, "I have heard of the prince's name for a long time. Today I meet him. The prince is more charming than I thought!"
Ning Chen smiled, "High priest, you are too kind! I will trouble you again later."
Prince Qing said, "Let's go in and talk. His Majesty should be on the way."
Pan Yucheng kicked Feng Qizhen while everyone was not paying attention.
This guy is so embarrassing. He drooled when he looked at the high priest.
"You should restrain yourself and don't embarrass the prince."
Feng Qizhen wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth and said in shock, "I didn't expect that the high priest of Wu State was actually a great beauty. I thought she was an old man or an old woman.
But don't worry, I just admire her, I only have Xiaoyue in my heart...I didn't even go to the brothel when I returned to Xuanwu City this time. "
Pan Yucheng was also surprised, "I didn't expect the high priest of Wu State to be so young...I remember seeing information about the high priest of Wu State when I was in the Supervisory Department before, and it said that the high priest of Wu State was already in his seventies. "
Xiao Yanxi chuckled and said, "You should be talking about the previous high priest. The current high priest has only been in office for two years...Don't you know about this?"
Pan Yucheng and Feng Qi shook their heads.
They have been fighting with Ning Chen in the south and the north for many years, so how could they have the energy to understand what the high priest of Wu State is like?
Pan Yucheng was worried and said, "This high priest is so young, can he remove the poison from the prince?"
Xiao Yanxi smiled and said, "Don't judge a hero by his age. Ning Chen was already leading the army at the age of sixteen...Age has never been a standard for measuring a person's ability.
She can become the high priest of Wu State and get the recognition of the empress, so she must have real ability. "
Pan Yucheng and Feng Qi were nodding. What Xiao Yanxi said made sense.
At this time, Ning Chen and others had already entered the hall.
Sitting down and drinking tea.
Ning Chen couldn't wait to ask: "High Priest, the Empress should have told you about my situation, right?"
The High Priest nodded slightly, "Your Majesty said that the prince was poisoned by the Yin-Yang Gu, but I still have to confirm it."
As he said that, he rummaged in the cloth bag at his waist for a while, "Ha... Found it!"
The High Priest took out a small sandalwood box, opened it and found a leaf inside, which looked like the leaf of ice grass, and then handed it to Ning Chen, "Prince, eat this."
