Night Emperor Crazy Concubine

Chapter 817 Priest Hall 3
Although Nangong Hao said that he would not be able to see Feng Qi until tomorrow, Lin Yue was concerned about Feng Qi's possible injuries, and after eating a sumptuous vegetarian meal in the attic of the priest's hall, he couldn't sit still.

"What time is it now?"

"It's three minutes before the hour." Nangong Hao watched Linyue finish her lunch gracefully, as if he could see what was going on in her heart, and said thoughtfully, "If you're not tired now, you can go for a walk , I’ll arrange someone to take you with you so you don’t get lost.”

go out for a walk?

Linyue was quiet, and then said: "How far is it from the palace?"

"Not far." Nangong Hao said, "The priest's hall is located in the imperial city, west of Miyagi, if you walk, it will take about an hour."

After a pause, he smiled slowly: "But if the girl is really worried, I will report to the empress and ask her to send someone out to bring the girl into the palace, that's all right."

Linyue was taken aback for a moment, then looked at him suspiciously, "Is it okay?"

Nangong Hao nodded with a smile, "Of course it's possible."

If it was really possible, why didn't he say it an hour ago?And you said you won't be able to see Feng Qi until noon tomorrow?
Linyue was suspicious, but nodded calmly, "I'll go out for a walk first, to see the customs and customs here."

"Well, that's fine." Nangong Hao said, standing up, "The girl can come back before dark, otherwise I'm afraid I'll get lost."

If you don't come back before dark, you will get lost?

Linyue felt that this sentence seemed to have a deep meaning, and she was never a person who liked to guess riddles, so she said: "I am not a road idiot, people who pass by can still remember it, even at night."

"This place is different from yours. A girl's memory is useless no matter how good it is." Nangong Hao smiled lightly, even shaking his head, he looked elegant and charming, "When the darkness falls at night, the sky will be protected by the ancient Fuxi array Get up, except for the locals of Tiandu, other outsiders can't find their way in the capital."

is it?

Linyue was surprised when she heard that, "How do you say, if someone rebelled, they wouldn't be able to break in?"

"The girl is right."

It really is?
Linyue looked at the other party's calm smile, and suddenly felt a mysterious feeling in her heart, she just felt that she had fallen into an extremely magical country.

During the meal just now, Nangong Hao roughly told her something about the Nan Clan. This is a dynasty that has been passed down for thousands of years. It has a very long history and rebellion never occurs easily - because of the blessing of the gods.

The gods not only bless the entire Nanzu, but also bless Xuanyuan, the ruler of the Nanzu's dynasty. The ruling status of the royal family is above everything else.

The emperors of each generation of the Southern Clan are the most powerful among the heirs of the royal family—whether it is governing the country or other abilities.The king of a country does not limit men and women. In the royal family, men and women have equal status, and there is no such thing as male superiority and female inferiority.

Emperors with extraordinary talents usually appear once every hundred years, so as to ensure the long-term prosperity of the Nan clan.

And Her Majesty the Empress of this generation is extremely talented, so at the age of 12, she was established as the crown prince and inherited the throne.

Although the Nan nationality does not demand the supremacy of men on the throne, there is a clear distinction between superiority and inferiority, and the hierarchy is stronger than that of ordinary dynasties - the emperor is the most noble existence, and the priests are those who assist the emperor to serve the gods.

The position of the crown prince in the royal family is comparable to that of the emperor, who has the power to make decisions about the government. Once the crown prince ascends the throne, other royal heirs must immediately change their surnames—no one is qualified to have the same noble surname as the emperor.

Even the brothers and sisters of the royal family can only bow their knees and look up to the emperor, and serve them respectfully, without the slightest act of arrogance.

These things flashed through her mind, and Lin Yue couldn't help but think of someone.

A person who treats all the royal family members as domestic slaves, in front of him, all people who can breathe have to kneel and speak, the hierarchy is so strict, it turns out... it is something that has been carved into the bone.

However, that person... used to be the high priest, so he shouldn't be a member of the royal family...

"Nangong Hao." Lin Yue had doubts in his heart, so he asked casually, "Ji Moxiu was also a high priest before?"

Ji Moxiu?
A hint of doubt appeared in Nangong Hao's eyes, "Ji... Moxiu? Who is he?"

Linyue was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that Ji Moxiu was from the royal family of the Great Zhou, and Ji's surname was the surname of the Great Zhou, not his name when he was the high priest.

"It's your predecessor." Linyue said, "Before you became the high priest, another high priest in the hall of priests."

"Oh." Nangong Hao understood after hearing the words, "You are talking about the priest."

Linyue was silent.

Order?

It doesn't sound like a normal person's name, Linyue has always stayed away from ghosts and gods, but when she heard this name at this time, she felt a faintly weird feeling, thinking that it should be the name of a god of hell.

"I don't know much about this person." Nangong Hao said with a faint smile, "Well, I'm not that curious, so I didn't try to find out, but when I was appointed as the high priest by Her Majesty, Your Majesty Instead, he said a word to me - the Priest Hall is only there to assist the royal family, its duty is to serve the gods and protect the southern people, and it has no right to dictate the behavior of the emperor."

No right to judge the behavior of the emperor?

Linyue was slightly stunned, trying to figure out the meaning of this sentence in her heart, she couldn't help but think, with Ji Moxiu's temperament, maybe she interfered in the affairs of the royal family in the past and offended the empress?

But there is no need to delve into this matter, anyway, it is already a thing of the past.

Nangong Hao arranged for her a delicate and charming little girl, who looked at most twelve or thirteen years old, very beautiful and delicate, with willow eyebrows and big eyes, fair and smooth skin, although she was a child, but her eyes were undisguised. Exude wisdom and aura.

Judging by her attire, she should not be the messenger of the Priest Hall.

"Where are you going, sister?"

Play?
Lin Yue didn't have much intention to play, she wanted to see Feng Qi right away, but...

"Little sister." Linyue raised a gentle and kind smile, "Do you know of any way to enter the palace without disturbing others?"

The little girl was stunned when she heard the words, "Enter the palace?"

Linyue nodded.

"Without His Majesty's decree, outsiders cannot enter the palace." The little girl glanced at her with a little curiosity in her eyes, "Sister, aren't you from our place?"

Lin Yue hummed, "No."

"Oh." The little girl smiled, "Except for important court officials, no one can enter the palace at will, even the high priest, who can't enter the palace without an oracle, otherwise he will be severely punished."

Linyue was silent for a while, and then said: "What if the high priest has something to do?"

The little girl in front of her was only twelve or thirteen years old, but Linyue didn't know why, she just felt that this little girl was a bit unusual, there must be some reason why Nangong Hao arranged her for him.
