Chapter 445 The Holy Maiden Candidate
Hearing Song Qinghuan's words, Ying Che was embarrassed for a moment.

Before this, although he had doubts about Song Qinghuan's identity, he hadn't thought about it after all, so now he couldn't come up with a suitable solution for a while.What's more, how to deal with this matter is not his alone.

After thinking for a while, looking at Ji Yu and Ji Shu with different looks, he said with a deep voice, "Emperor Ji has a special status. She is not only a member of my Fulan clan, but also the owner of the Cangxie sword. The Fulan clan has been established for a long time, and has never It’s happened before, so there’s no precedent.”

After a pause, the tone was slightly slow, "We need to discuss this matter with several of our elders before we can give Di Ji an answer. How about this, Di Ji will live in Yuheng Island with peace of mind first, and wait for us to discuss and come to a conclusion." Please Di Ji come here."

He said this quite politely, apart from Cang Xiejian, presumably also because he was afraid of the forces behind Song Qinghuan and Shen Chuhan.After all, if they ignored Song Qinghuan and detained Song Qinghuan, Shen Chuhan would definitely not let it go. At that time, if Zhaoguo invaded with all the strength of the whole country, there would be a bloody storm.

If this is the case, they will become the sinners of the entire Fulan clan.How could Ying Che afford such a consequence?

Song Qinghuan smiled lightly, with an unclear expression, "Elder Ying, I don't know where my mother and concubine live now? I haven't seen my mother and concubine for many years, and I really miss it very much. I wonder if I can move to live with my mother and concubine?"

She has the Cangxie Sword in her hand and Zhao Guo as her backer, so Yingche and the others dare not do anything to her.But if they want to punish the mother and concubine again for the crime of breaking the family rules, the situation of the mother and concubine is bound to be difficult.She couldn't put her mother and concubine in dire straits again for her own sake.

Ying Che's face darkened.

If Song Qinghuan knows that Yuli is now under house arrest in Futu Mountain, unnecessary troubles may arise, but if Song Qinghuan does not agree, Song Qinghuan will definitely become suspicious.

While hesitating, Ji Shu chuckled, looked straight at Song Qinghuan and said, "Emperor Ji came to Yuheng Island this time, is she actually here for the saint?"

Song Qinghuan looked back at the past without avoiding it, and said in a cold voice, "Since the matter has reached this point, I will not hide it from the elders. Before I came, I really suspected that the concubine mother was the saint of the Fulan clan, but there was no conclusive evidence That's all, I didn't dare to be sure until I saw the concubine mother, so... I didn't intend to deceive the elders."

Ji Shu meaningfully glanced at Yuli, then at Song Qinghuan, his eyes were charming, but with an imperceptible sternness, "According to what the saint just said, she left Yuguo when Diji was about two years old. , I didn't expect Di Ji to recognize the saint at the first sight, it really is a mother-daughter bond."

On the surface, what she said was just a sigh, but the people present were all good people, so they could naturally hear the suspicion in her words.

Song Qinghuan knew that among these several elders, Ji Shu seemed the most enthusiastic, but also the most powerful one.She has always been skeptical of herself, and just now she proposed to live with the concubine mother, she must have become suspicious.Turning his eyes, he said frankly, "I have seen a portrait of my mother and concubine in my father's palace. Although time has passed, my mother and concubine's appearance is still the same, so I recognized it at first sight. What's more, there are indeed mothers and concubines in this world. Regarding the matter of Nu Lianxin, Elder Ji is also a mother, so I believe he can understand it, right?"

Hearing Song Qinghuan mention Ji Ye, Ji Shu didn't know what to think, his eyes narrowed, his lips curled into a half-smile, and he didn't make another sound.

Seeing that Ji Shu, who was always eloquent, was also defeated in front of Song Qinghuan, Ying Che knew that Song Qinghuan didn't know how to save fuel. If he agreed to her request to live with the saint like this, he was really worried that Yuli would say something that he shouldn't say. words come.

After thinking carefully for a moment, he opened his mouth, "Since Diji has already spoken, we will not hide it from Diji. It is a serious crime for a holy woman to escape from the island, and now she is marrying with a foreigner, which has already seriously violated the clan rules. This matter , We still need to discuss with several elders before we can make a decision. For now, I ask Di Ji to go back to Qingya Xiaozhu and wait in peace."

Song Qinghuan's heart sank when he heard this.

Sure enough, because of her own reasons, she still put the concubine mother in danger again.

Unwillingly, she clenched her five fingers, and just as she was about to say more, Yuli gave her a soothing look, glanced at the three elders lightly, and said slowly, "I've lost all my spiritual power now, and I'm already considered a useless person." , I have no complaints about how the elders will deal with me. It's just... Before that, I would like to ask the elders to allow my mother and daughter to get together for a while. After all, Elder Ji also said just now, Ah Wan The big reason why I came all the way to Yuheng Island is because of me."

Song Qinghuan quickly understood what Yanli meant, and turned her eyes calmly, looking at Ying Che and Ji Shu coldly, her eyes were full of anger.

Yingche's heart trembled a little, knowing that Song Qinghuan's status was special, and this matter had to be discussed in a long-term manner, so he slightly restrained his solemn expression, and said with a smile, "We all understand Diji's intentions. Right now, please come back first." Qingya Xiaozhu is waiting."

Song Qinghuan knew that this matter should not be rushed, so she nodded and stood up without saying anything more.

Yingche looked at Chongjin and said in a deep voice, "Chongjin, send the saint back first."

Chongjin should be, helping Yuli to get up.Yanli glanced at Song Qinghuan again, her eyes flickered, she turned around quickly, and disappeared behind the screen.

Song Qinghuan took a deep breath, suppressed the tears that came up, and looked coldly at Yingche and the others above him, "Three elders, please."

They stayed here for a long time, and if they didn't go back to Xuandian, Shen Chuhan might have to wait in a hurry.

Sure enough, as soon as they walked to the entrance of Xuandian, they heard noises coming from inside the hall.

Ying Che frowned, not knowing what happened, he took the lead in striding into the Xuan Hall.After walking a few steps, he saw Shen Chuhan striding forward with a gloomy expression, seemingly angry, followed by Jiang Linlang with a helpless expression, and Yao Fusang with a displeased expression.

Seeing Ying Che, Shen Chuhan paused, and looked back over Ying Che's shoulder.Seeing Song Qinghuan's safe and sound face, he seemed to be slightly relieved, walked around Yingche and walked up to Song Qinghuan, and said in a deep voice, "Ah Wan, they didn't make things difficult for you, did they?"

Song Qinghuan shook his head, signaling him not to worry, glanced at the crowd, and said in a low voice, "It's a long story, go back and talk about it in detail."

Shen Chuhan nodded, stood beside her, and didn't say much.

Ying Che turned his head to look at him, then at Jiang Linlang and Yao Fusang who hurried over, with displeasure on his face, "Elder Jiang, what's going on?"

Jiang Linlang smiled coyly, "Elder Ying, seeing that Di Ji hadn't returned for a long time, Emperor Han was anxious and wanted to go to the temple to find her. We were just trying to persuade you, but it happened that you came back."

Yingche glanced at her and Yao Fusang, then quickly turned around, his eyes fell on Shen Chuhan's face as cold as frost, and he said with a smirk, "Diji is a distinguished guest of my Fulan clan, Emperor Han doesn't have to be like this." nervous."

Shen Chuhan's expression was still cold, and he curled his lips, as a reaction to his words.

Knowing that his temperament has always been so cold, although Ying Che didn't like it, he had no choice but to call people in, "Si Tan, Gui Ying!"

The two people outside the hall entered in response.

"Send Di Ji and Emperor Han back," Ying Che ordered in a deep voice.

"Yes." The two agreed, walked up to Song Qinghuan and Shen Chuhan and saluted, "Emperor Ji, Emperor Han, please."

Song Qinghuan bowed his head to the elders and said goodbye, and followed Si Tan and Guiying out of the Xuandian.

As soon as Song Qinghuan and Shen Chuhan left, the hall fell silent. Everyone had different thoughts, and it was difficult to distinguish between bright and dark expressions.

Ji Shu glanced at Yingche, and chuckled lightly, like a thrush with a bewitching gleam in his eyes, making it hard for people to see what was in his heart.She slightly parted her red lips, and said lazily, "Elder Ying, you should also talk to Elder Yao and Elder Jiang about the matter just now, and see if we can discuss a result as soon as possible. After all, Emperor Ji and Emperor Han are both Not something to mess with."

Upon hearing this, Yao Fusang's eyes flickered, and he frowned and said, "What happened just now?"

Ji Shu laughed coquettishly, walked up to the seat at the top and sat down, glanced at Ying Che, "Elder Ying, are you going to tell Elder Yao and Elder Jiang about this matter? Or me?"

Yingche also walked up to the seats, and sat down with the hem of his robes lifted, "Sit down first, I'm afraid Elder Ji understands what happened just now better than I do, so let Elder Ji talk about it."

Hearing what he meant, Ji Shu didn't feel annoyed, smiled coquettishly, glanced at Jiang Linlang and Yao Fusang, and said straight to the point, "Our guess is indeed correct, Diji is indeed a saint daughter."

"Really?!" Yao Fusang was taken aback, and stared at Ji Shu with wide eyes.

Ji Shu smiled meaningfully, "Both the Holy Maiden and the Emperor Ji have admitted it with their own mouths, so there can still be fakes."

"It's unreasonable!" Yao Fusang clapped his hands in anger, "As expected, we were fooled by that little girl."

Ji Shu glanced at him, with a flash of disdain in his eyes, but his mouth was still polite, "Elder Yao, don't get angry, otherwise, the loss outweighs the gain."

Yao Fusang clenched his fist and looked at Ji Shu with sharp eyes, "How did you get them to admit it?"

Ying Che smiled inexplicably, "I have to thank Elder Ji for this matter. If she hadn't suddenly attacked Di Ji and got the Blood Youyu Qingluan Jade Pendant that Di Ji wore next to her body. How can you admit it so easily?"

Although Ji Shu had done a great job in this matter, Ying Che didn't trust her very much in his heart. He always felt that Ji Shu's spared no efforts might have other motives, so he kept a tentative heart in his words.

"Then what should we do now?" Yao Fusang asked sullenly.

Jiang Linlang said, "If Emperor Ji is the daughter of a saint, doesn't that mean that she will automatically become one of the candidates for the next saint, and she needs to participate in the grand maiden election ceremony to be held next month."

Ji Shu sneered, "Looking at her attitude just now, she probably doesn't want to."

Jiang Linlang frowned, "This is the family rule of the Fulan clan. Since she is a member of my Fulan clan, she should abide by the clan rules. I'm afraid it's up to her whether she wants to or not?"

Yingche snorted coldly, with a mocking smile on his lips, "It doesn't matter whether she admits that she is from the Fulan clan, even if she does, besides the daughter of the saint, she is also the master of the Cangxie Sword. They are not ordinary people, so we must not act rashly."

Jiang Linlang frowned, "What does Elder Ying mean...?"

"The attitude of the saintess does not seem to want Di Ji to stay on the island, let alone become the next saint. We need to reach a consensus on whether or not to let Di Ji participate in the saintess transition ceremony next month."

"Is the saint's opinion still important now?" Yao Fusang snorted coldly, "If she hadn't fled the island privately back then, how would this matter be so troublesome now? In my opinion, the saint married a foreigner in disregard of family rules , should be severely punished. What we have to consider is not just how to deal with Empress Wuyang."

"Now that the saint and Diji have met each other, Elder Ji also said that Diji is not easy to provoke. If we severely punish the saint, how can Diji give up?" Hearing Yao Fusang's words, there was no one who spoke. Himeha said coldly.

Ji Shu's expression darkened, he looked at Ji Yu thoughtfully, and said in a drawn-out tone, "Elder Ji seems to be very kind to the saintess and Di Ji. It was the same just now, but he directly started fighting with me without asking indiscriminately. "

Ji Yu was unmoved, with a cold expression on his face, "It was Elder Ji who made the first move without distinction."

"If I hadn't done anything, we'd probably still be kept in the dark." Ji Shu stopped smiling, and stared at Ji Yu with dark eyes.

"Okay." Ying Che frowned, "Now is not the time to pursue these matters. The election of the Holy Maiden is imminent, and our top priority is to make a final decision on whether Diji should participate in the ceremony."

Seeing that everyone's faces were not looking very good, Ying Che cleared his throat to prevent further disputes, "Well, everyone express their opinions on this matter, and we will make a final decision based on everyone's opinions." , glanced at Ji Shu, "Elder Ji, you come first."

Ji Shu didn't hold back, and said directly, "I think Di Ji should participate in the election of the saint."

"reason?"

"The saintess has high spiritual power, and her daughter is bound to have strong spiritual power. The powerful spiritual power we sensed last time was probably from Empress Wuyang. The previous saintesses should have the strongest spiritual power in the clan. As for whether Xuelian can choose her, it depends on God's will."

Yingche frowned calmly.

The next month will be the saintess election. Originally, five candidates for the saintess or saint son have been selected, and Ji Ye, the son of Ji Shu, is one of them.Since she knew Wuyang Emperor Ji's spiritual power was high, she should know that once Emperor Ji participated in the general election, she would definitely become Ji Ye's strong opponent. How could she be so selfless?
Turning his eyes, he looked at Yao Fusang, "Elder Yao?"

"I don't agree." Yao Fusang said coldly, "This little girl has a wicked mind and has been playing with us between applause. If she really becomes a saint, then it's okay?"

"Okay." Yingche didn't comment, just nodded and looked at Jiang Linlang, "Where's Elder Jiang?"

After Jiang Linlang hesitated for a moment, Fang hesitated and said, "I... agree to Diji's participation in the election of the saint."

"The reason?"

"The Fulan tribe has gradually declined over the years, and the overall spiritual power of the tribe is not as good as before. The Yunqing Continent is developing rapidly. I think that if Xuelian really chose Diji as the saint, her dual identity may be that of the Fulan tribe. A chance to be reborn."

After hearing Jiang Linlang's words, Yingche was silent for a moment.

What she said is correct, others may not know it, but the elders know it very well.The spiritual power of the people of the Fulan tribe today has indeed retreated a lot compared to their ancestors.

Yuheng Island has always been a legendary existence on the Yunqing Continent, and it is also rumored that there is a fairy grass on the island that has the effect of washing marrow and cutting hair, which inevitably attracts people's eyes.The barrier created around the island with spiritual power is not as powerful as before. Otherwise, in the past, how could the tribe escape from the island so easily?

Concentrating her eyes in silence for a moment, she looked up at Ji Yu again, "Elder Ji, what do you think?"

"I disagree."

Ying Che was not surprised, raised his eyebrows, "Why?"

"Di Ji herself is not willing. If she is forced to stay, Emperor Han will not be able to deal with it." Ji Yu replied coldly.

Ying Che lowered his eyes thoughtfully, his gaze was heavy.

Ji Shu said, "Elder Ying, it's two to two now, it depends on your opinion."

For a moment, all four eyes fell on him.

Ying Che thought for a moment, and then let out a long breath, "I think Empress Wuyang should participate in the election of the saint." After he finished speaking, everyone's expressions were different, and it was difficult to distinguish the eyes.

Yao Fusang narrowed his eyes fiercely, "Elder Ying, don't forget that everyone in the tribe now knows that Wuyang Emperor Ji is the Queen of Zhao Kingdom, and you suddenly asked her to participate in the election of the saint, how are you going to explain it to the tribe?"

"I don't know if the elders still remember that the Nine Heavens Xuannv once left a prophecy that after a hundred years, the Fulan tribe will decline, and fresh blood will be injected into the island."

The words of Nine Heavens Xuannv have been passed down from the ancestors to the present, but all the saintesses and elders thought that these words referred to the master of the Cangxie Sword, but now Ying Che mentioned them. It's not an exaggeration to be a woman.

"What about the saint? How do you explain the fact that the saint escaped from the island and married foreigners?" Yao Fusang asked.

Yingche was silent again.

But Ji Shu interjected, "The saint violated the family rules and abolished her spiritual power, just to make an example to others!"
