Chapter 168 Departure
Before Cen Ji could speak, he spoke first: "In how many days will we leave for Yongye?"

"Yes."

Cen Ji lowered his head slightly and said in a respectful tone: "I asked Pei Qi to arrange for me to be included in the envoy team so that I can personally protect Her Royal Highness the Princess."

"well done."

The high priest asked again: "Has there been any news about what happened last time?"

Cen Ji: "Master Prophet, are you referring to the matter of refining ghosts?"

The high priest nodded.

Cen Ji: "No, none of us disclosed it."

He thought of the incident when Nan Qiao summoned the golden dragon before, and felt a little confused.

He told the high priest about it that night, but surprisingly, the high priest was not surprised at all, as if he had known it for a long time.

He also asked him to conceal this matter and not make it public.

Especially Nanqiao is special.

"Do you have any clue about refining ghosts?" the high priest asked again.

Cen Ji shook his head, with a look of shame on his face: "Cen is incompetent and failed to find out more information about ghost refining. I hope the prophet will forgive me!"

"Don't blame yourself." The high priest said slowly: "The people behind it have been planning for many years. It is normal for nothing to be found out in such a short time."

Cen Ji raised his head in surprise when he heard this: "What do you mean, Lord Prophet, that you already know the identity of the person behind the scenes?"

The high priest was silent. Even though Bai Ling was separated from him, Cen Ji could feel that his eyes seemed to be looking down at him slightly.

"It's important, you don't need to know for the time being."

"Cen understands!"

The high priest moved, and his silver hair slowly fell from his shoulders like pine snow on the top of the mountain.

"Thank you for your hard work, please be more careful on the road."

"It's not hard work. It's a believer's honor to be able to share the worries of the high priest!"

Cen Ji thought of something and said, "Besides, there is one more thing."

"Say." "Just a few days ago, the Queen of Dayin and the Sixth Prince passed away at the same time. It was said that the Sixth Prince had a high fever and was unable to wake up, and the Queen was so worried that she had an emergency, but the matter was certainly not that simple.

Because on that day, the Queen summoned Pei Qi and Her Royal Highness the Princess into the palace. "

High Priest: "Is it related to Pei Qi?"

Cen Ji frowned: "I do doubt it, but Emperor Sheng Yuan kept the matter a secret, and there was almost no other news."

The high priest's tone remained unchanged: "This matter has nothing to do with us, so don't worry too much."

Although Cen Ji didn't understand why the high priest said this, he still responded respectfully: "Believers understand."

"Is there anything else?"

"Nothing."

The high priest raised his hand and caressed the white silk on his eyes, and his tone seemed to be mixed with traces of pleasure: "You don't have to deliberately lure her to the temple after arriving in Mingxiang, she will come by herself."

Cen Ji's heart trembled, "Yes!"

On the day of the mission's departure, the royal family naturally came to see them off.

However, it was said that the third prince, Prince Duan, had not recovered from his previous injury and was still recovering at home, so he did not come over.

The news of the death of Queen Xu and the Sixth Prince came first, and everyone looked more solemn.

Emperor Shengyuan said in a deep voice: "Qi'er, Mingzhu, Yongye's birthday is of great importance. Remember to be careful in your words and deeds, and don't let me, Da Yin, lose face outside."

Pei Qi lowered his head: "Wei Chen understands."

Nan Qiao also nodded.

Emperor Shengyuan looked at Pei Qi and looked away for a long time: "Let's go, have a good trip."

Pei Qi took Nan Qiao into the carriage.

Emperor Sheng Yuan looked at the envoys leaving in a mighty manner, his eyes complex and difficult to distinguish.

By the time Qi'er comes back again, everything must have settled, right?
