atypical prostitute

Chapter 234
"What! Read it again!"

The sound of Zijin Ruyi falling to the ground was so clear that it was even harsh, because of a report, the Empress Dowager Pei in front of the dressing table was full of anger.

"...The acting Pope of the Light God Sect sneaked into the capital and met with the Ye family."

The female officer standing by the side re-read the content of the report in a low voice, even if the Queen Mother was furious, she had to report the truth.

"They...how can they go directly to the Ye family without going to the palace! Do they...do they still have me as the Queen Mother in their eyes!"

Pei Linger spoke angrily, snatched the white jade comb from the hand of the palace servant, and scolded: "Stupid b********* maidservant deserves to die!"

The palace man in charge of combing her hair was so frightened that she lay down on the ground and kowtowed all the time. Seeing that, Pei Linger became more and more disturbed, and casually cursed "noisy", got up and walked out of the inner room, and walked in the huge palace.

Even if the queen mother's status was bestowed by King Wei and the Ye family, she is still the empress dowager of the Xie Dynasty and the most honorable person in the Xie Dynasty. However, the first person whom the Acting Pope of the Guangming God Sect, who controls the 36 countries in the Western Regions, sneaked into the capital was Mrs. Ye's family, but she couldn't bear it.

This is a complete disregard for imperial power!

Suppressing the anger in his heart, he said to the female officer, "Did they... get the contents of the interview...?"

"Your Highness, there is no content of the conversation in Master Liu's report, it must be—"

The female official said hesitantly, in fact, if the pope hadn't taken the initiative to meet with him, they would not even know that the pope of Kunlun who shared the faith of the 36 countries in the Western Regions had arrived in the capital with the mission.

"It must be something!"

Pei Ling'er said angrily, grabbed a white jade ornament and was about to smash it down.

But there was a beautiful voice, mellow and clear like a yellow warbler out of the valley: "Don't be angry, the Queen Mother, I have come to plead guilty."

There was a heavy snowfall last night, and it was cold outside, but the person who came was dressed in thin silk that outlined a graceful figure, the corners of the fluffy clothes were inlaid with bright purple, and the light golden long hair that reminded people of the sun was randomly tied up in a bun. Adorned with pearls, blue eyes like jewels, and skin as fair as plaster, it is Dan Baiqiu.

She walked into the hall slowly, although she was pleading guilty, but every movement carried the arrogance of the Queen's Landing.

——Because of her, even her arrogance has become elegant and cute, even as it should be.

She walked ten steps away from Pei Ling'er, stopped, put her beautiful hands like jade carvings on her heart, bent down, and saluted.

"Hello, Empress Dowager of the Celestial Dynasty."

Unexpectedly, the Acting Pope of the Western Regions was such a beautiful woman. Pei Linger, who was overwhelmed, almost forgot the fact that she neglected and ignored the imperial power. She couldn't help but slow down her voice, and said, "The Acting Pope is so magnificent."

"The Queen Mother is really angry."

Dan Baiqiu smiled, and sincerely apologized in such a coquettish tone that a man's anger would disappear after hearing this.

After hearing Dan Baiqiu's slightly coquettish words, Pei Ling'er's anger really eased a little.

"Don't dare, madam is the acting Pope of the Light God Sect. In the 36 countries in the Western Regions, even the king would kneel down to worship him. When he came to Middle-earth, he seemed to have lost his former prestige. Even to see the minister's wife, he had to sneak around in the middle of the night. Yes. It is said that...and...were shut down."

Relying on a woman's instinct, Pei Ling'er was sure that Dan Baiqiu didn't get what she wanted when she saw Fu Lici late at night.

Dan Baiqiu heard the words, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he nodded and said: "The Empress Dowager of the Celestial Dynasty really deserves her reputation, we underestimated you."

"It's not too late to know now." Pei Ling'er said proudly, because she hated Fu Lici so much, she even planned for Dan Baiqiu to be contemptuous of herself.

"If we had known that the Empress Dowager was such a smart person, we wouldn't have to look for General Ye's wife and humiliate ourselves."

That was what it meant to admit last night's defeat.

Pei Linger smiled smugly.In her cognition, the higher the status, the more shameful it is to admit failure. When Dan Baiqiu confessed the failure with a little sadness, her vanity was immediately greatly satisfied.

So she didn't know that in the education Dan Baiqiu received since childhood, there was no so-called etiquette, righteousness and shame. For Dan Baiqiu and her followers, safeguarding the interests of the divine religion has become a part of life.Any person or thing, even if it is as precious as one's own eyeball, must be sacrificed if it conflicts with this highest goal.

Dan Baiqiu is always sane and scary when it comes to matters involving the interests of the religion.

But Pei Linger didn't know this, she mistakenly thought that she had trampled Dan Baiqiu's dignity to the ground, and her tone of voice was much gentler:

"It stands to reason that breaking into the palace without being summoned is the second most serious crime next to treason. Since you are from the Western Regions and don't understand the rules of the Middle Earth, I will not pursue it for the time being, but I will not make an example."

After some scolding, she played with the exquisite emerald-inlaid armor, pretending to be casual and said: "Tell me, why are you so eager to see me?"

"To get someone." Dan Baiqiu said straight to the point.

"...The succession system of the Pope of the Light God Religion is different from that of Middle-earth. When the Pope is about to die, he will leave some signs for his followers. After he passes away for a hundred days, we will tell him The Lotus Flower Goddess seeks the oracle, searches for it according to the instructions of the oracle, finds those children who meet the signs mentioned in the last words of the previous pope, teaches them carefully, and chooses a new pope from them. In addition, any force supports the superior The Pope will not be recognized by the believers. So I am still the Acting Pope until now."

Dan Baiqiu said it as concisely as possible. At the same time, the former Pope died unexpectedly, and the oracle of the Lotus Flower Goddess could not point out the direction of reincarnation in detail, so that they did not catch up to Middle Earth until recently. explanation of.

Pei Ling'er listened carefully. She didn't know much about the religious inheritance system in the Western Regions. She only vaguely knew that the Pope of the Light God Sect controlled the religious power of the 36 countries in the Western Regions. Turkic Khan, even - faintly above it.

Subjects may disobey the monarch, but believers will never doubt the Pope.

She was stunned when she knew that the papal succession system of the Guangming God Religion was actually reincarnation.

"...Aren't you afraid that the oracle of the Lotus Flower Goddess will make a mistake?"

"The Lotus Flower Goddess is the incarnation of the white lotus planted by the God of Light. She is ordered by the God of Light to protect the reincarnation of the Pope. Her oracle is absolutely infallible. If it is wrong, our scriptures will be wrong. In addition, every generation of teaching Zong You has a characteristic that will never change: he was born with a lotus flower, his eyes are beautiful, his body contains the fragrance of white lotus, and when he was born, the fragrance filled the house, and the red bird came to congratulate him."

Dan Baiqiu said with a smile, without further explanation, Pei Linger also understood her intention.

"...You mean, Ye's eldest son is likely to be the reincarnation of the pope you have been looking for?"

"At least the closest one. We, eager to confirm whether he is the reincarnation of the Pope, followed the oracle of the Lotus Flower Goddess to come to Middle-earth, so we did the rude behavior of meeting General Ye's wife in private over the Queen Mother. Please also the Queen of Heaven ...to be contained."

While being humble, she deliberately buried a hint that Pei Ling'er was not stupid, and immediately took the bait.

"Closest? Meaning, you don't know him... do you?"

"Because Mrs. Ye refused to let us meet her eldest son."

Dan Baiqiu said angrily, his porcelain-like face showed a hint of sullenness.

"Why not? If her eldest son is really the reincarnation of the Pope, he is destined to enjoy the offerings of the 36 countries in the Western Regions, which is a great honor!"

"But she insisted it was a conspiracy."

Dan Baiqiu explained, "She doubts our plan, and thinks that her son's sudden accusation as the reincarnation of the Pope is the revenge of the Western Regions for sending troops to the Western Regions from the Ye family. The purpose is to trick her son away and kill her!"

"Thinking like that? This woman—"

Pei Ling'er sneered, although she also suspected that the whole thing might be a hoax, but since the target was Fu Lici, Ye Ye who was far more favored than her emperor's son and was hugged by the late emperor when he was still in his infancy. As the eldest child, there is only twisted pleasure left in her heart.

It would be great if... it was really a hoax!
Evil thoughts bloomed rotten flowers, she smiled and said: "She made too much fuss. If it was just a hoax, how could the Ye family have the virtue to make the acting pope condescend to come here? What's more, Ye's eldest son was born with a vision from heaven." , Some fortune tellers swore that he was the reincarnation of a banished immortal, even the late emperor was alarmed and hugged the child. Now there is an oracle from the goddess of the lotus flower, presumably he is the reincarnation of your pope."

The empress dowager and the Ye family are at odds, and everyone in the world knows that even though Dan Baiqiu is far away in the Western Regions, he is still sharp.

After smelling the slight change in the atmosphere, she grinned and echoed: "So ordinary women have shallow knowledge, and they are not as far-sighted as the Empress Dowager."

"I can't bear the praise of the acting pope."

Pei Ling'er said hypocritically, Dan Baiqiu's compliment made her so proud that every pore of her body exuded a sense of comfort.

"But I really don't know any woman who is more knowledgeable than the Queen Mother. Everyone says that Queen Wu is the most amazing woman in the world, but unfortunately in my eyes, she is just a warrior. Princess Linchuan is thoughtful and wise, but She acts with foresight and foresight, and her love is difficult to break through, so she is destined not to be a great weapon. As for Mrs. Ye... she is just an ordinary woman with some cleverness and opinions."

Dan Baiqiu judged solemnly, although they were all compliments, but because of her noble status and indifferent tone, it was more convincing.

After receiving all these compliments, Pei Ling'er became more and more ecstatic.

"Actually, the acting Pope is also a strange woman... who can support the huge Light God Sect with one person..."

"It is faith that unites the religion, and my personal ability is negligible... The top priority in the capital is to find the reincarnation of the pope, bring him back to the Western Regions, and strengthen the faith."

"Strengthen the faith?"

Pei Linger frowned delicately.

Dan Baiqiu said bitterly: "...the Pope has not been able to return for a long time. In some places in the Western Regions... there are already voices who doubt the religion... and try to break away from the religion."

In order to maintain their faith, they turned the pope into a living god. They never expected that the faith gained from this was so fragile that the believers' hearts were shaken just because the pope's reincarnation could not return to his throne.

"...The negligent tribute this time...was also deliberately provoked by those who are dissatisfied with the teachings of God's religion...They want to take this opportunity to expand their personal prestige and shake their faith...Even if it is only for the long-term harmony between the Western Regions and the Celestial Dynasty, we must Find the Pope's reincarnation as soon as possible!"

Dan Baiqiu said earnestly, the superposition of national interests and personal hatred made Pei Linger's unresolute heart even more eager to move.

She pondered for a while, and said: "From this point of view, Madam Ye is indeed ignorant. Acting Pope, don't worry, I will definitely handle the matter of determining whether Ye Yun is the Pope's reincarnation!"

"Thank you Queen Mother!"
