Chapter 403 The key to the problem lies with himself
The formation was quite mysterious, as if it was designed to pull her into the past and experience all the joys and sorrows of "the person she was a thousand years ago."
As Saint Emperor Ye Shengzhao left, before Su Shixia had time to recall what she was feeling, the scene in front of her suddenly shattered and dissipated, and immediately after, another series of scenes appeared in front of her eyes.
It was the Holy Emperor who announced to the ministers in the morning that he would marry Cui Xiazhi, the daughter of the Taifu.
It was he who summoned other sacrifices from the Shengyan Dynasty and asked them to divine his wedding to Cui Xiazhi.
Although Su Shixia was the high priest, he was excluded from the divination ceremony.
She watched helplessly as the priests clearly figured out the hexagram of great evil, but were bribed by the ministers in the court. Not only did they present forged hexagrams, but they also deceived everyone, saying that Cui Xiazhi and the Holy Emperor's fates were very similar.
As long as the Holy Emperor marries Cui Xiazhi, he will surely bring the Shengyan Dynasty to a new peak, and Cui Xiazhi will give birth to the best heir for him.
The Holy Emperor believed the priests' words and decided on the marriage.
After that, he deliberately alienated Su Shixia.
In the past, no matter where he went, Su Shixia would always stand by his side.
But now, the person next to him was replaced by Cui Xiazhi, and Su Shixia just stood behind the two of them like those who accompanied him.
Although the people of the Shengyan Dynasty were quite surprised that His Majesty did not marry the high priest, because Cui Xiazhi was both talented and beautiful, she quickly won the respect and love of the people.
In the blink of an eye, it was the wedding day.
The entire imperial city of the Shengyan Dynasty was draped in red and colorful, and the people were singing and dancing to celebrate His Majesty's wedding.
Su Shixia stood on the high building of the palace, watching the emperor and empress being sent into the wedding room, and then looked up at the sky, her brows knitted into a tight knot.
Just at this moment, another voice sounded behind her.
It was a man's voice, but it was different from that of Saint Emperor Ye Shengzhao. It was obviously another person.
"Your Majesty's wedding, you seem to be too happy all the time."
The man was standing behind her, and Su Shixia wanted to turn around to see clearly who that man was.
However, she couldn't control this body at all now. She could only hear "herself" looking up at the starry sky and saying, "It's not that I'm unhappy, I'm a little worried."
"Other priests said that Your Majesty and Cui Xiazhi are a match made in heaven, but... I looked at the sky at night and saw something different."
Su Shixia's brows were furrowed, and her eyes were full of worry.
"What results did you see?"
While asking the question, the man took a few steps forward and finally came to Su Shixia's side.
When Su Shixia saw the man's appearance clearly, she was obviously stunned.
How could it be so similar?
Although when she looked at the murals in the underground palace before, she vaguely guessed that among the characters depicted in the murals, it was very likely that there was Qin Yi's "past life".
But...it wasn't until she saw the man in front of her that Su Shixia was completely sure.
The so-called reincarnation, reincarnation, is not only her, but also the Holy Emperor, even Cui Xiazhi... and Qin Yi.
The appearance of the man in front of him was clearly similar to Qin Yi's, but because of his makeup and temperament, he looked more calm and capable.
Su Shixia didn't know what the relationship between her previous life and the man who looked like Qin Yi was in this "illusion of the past thousands of years ago", but she could vaguely guess that the two seemed to be familiar with each other.
At least, the tone of their conversation was very natural. When I talked to this man, I felt much more relaxed than in front of the Holy Emperor.
"I can't say."
She shook her head slightly and did not give the man a direct answer. She only said: "If I really told the truth, it would be a serious crime that requires beheading. I only have one life, and I want to live longer."
Her tone was brisk, as if she were joking.
But the man keenly grasped the key point of her words and asked with furrowed eyebrows. "You don't like the two of them getting together? Then why don't you stop it? You are the high priest of the Shengyan Dynasty, and you should advise the emperor. This is what you should..."
"If I persuade him not to marry Cui Xiazhi, then he will definitely ask me to marry him."
Su Shixia looked up again at the starry night sky, avoiding the sight of the man next to her.
"His marriage to Cui Xiazhi may not necessarily bring good results."
"But if he marries me... the result will only be worse than if he married Cui Xiazhi."
"What do you mean by that?"
The man didn't understand what she meant and asked.
"In terms of appearance, talent, and ability, you are better than Cui Xiazhi in everything. How could you..."
"What if I said that if I were allowed to sit in the back seat, I would fight for power with His Majesty?"
This sudden question not only frightened the man opposite him, but also frightened Su Shixia himself, who had been watching the show subconsciously.
What do you mean? Want to fight for power? So she wants to be the emperor herself?
The self from thousands of years ago still had such ambitions in his heart?
She fell into deep self-doubt. Before she could wake up, she heard "herself" follow:
"Your Majesty is a man with a strong desire for power."
Su Shixia said: "He is in charge of the world, and he wants all the people in the world to comply with his wishes. Those who obey him will prosper, and those who go against him will perish."
"He regards himself as the heaven of the people, and believes that the life and death of the people are in his hands. It is natural to dedicate everything to him, even his life."
"But my thoughts are different from his."
Su Shixia turned to look at the man next to him and said in a deep voice: "In this world, there are people first, then the dynasty, and finally the emperor."
"If there are no people, and there is only one person in a huge dynasty covering thousands of miles, then what is the meaning of the so-called 'Emperor'?"
"He and I have fundamentally different ideas. Not to mention that I don't have any affection for him. Even if I really did, I would still be willing to marry him. After we got married, because of this difference in ideas, we Sooner or later we have to part ways."
Su Shixia said: "I am now the high priest of the Shengyan Dynasty, and my sacrificial responsibilities are independent of the royal power. As long as I am still the high priest, even His Majesty cannot force me to do anything I don't want to do."
"But if I marry him and become an emperor and empress... Then as a husband, he will ask me to do something that I don't want to do. At that time, how should I deal with myself? How should I balance it with him? Relationship?"
After she finished speaking, the man opposite didn't respond for a long time.
Su Shixia pulled her lips and smiled helplessly.
"Since we knew a long time ago that there will be no result between me and him, and even if there is, it will only be a bad result, then it is better not to have anything to start with."
"Although his marriage to Cui Xiazhi will not end well, their positions are actually the same."
Su Shixia said: "In the future, even if the almost irreversible situation that I foresee does occur, at least I am not tied to them by a rope, and I can still try my best to make up for it and make the best possible outcome. Save."
"Can't you choose someone who is truly suitable for Your Majesty from the beginning?"
The man frowned and asked.
"As long as we find the most suitable person, wouldn't tragedy be avoided?"
Su Shixia smiled when he heard this, but his eyes were extremely complicated and helpless.
"I've already said it to this point, but you still don't understand?"
"The crux of the problem is not who Ye Shengzhao married, the crux of all problems is Ye Shengzhao himself."
"If something goes wrong with him as the Holy Emperor, the entire Holy Flame Dynasty... I'm afraid it won't last long." (End of Chapter)
