Chapter 488 The rebels are coming

Guilty?

The elder frowned, and naturally did not notice the guilt in the high priest's tone.

She was not completely talking nonsense. It was true that she was guilty. It was a 50-50 chance to treat her or not.

But if she was treated, there would always be a price to pay.

My mother is now lying in bed. Why should she continue to ruin her luck for someone who has nothing to do with her?

Thinking of this, the high priest's expression also turned cold.

"If there is nothing else, you can leave on your own."

Her cold voice was extremely intimidating. When the elder came to his senses, he was already outside the temple.

He sighed softly and walked down the mountain.

...

Revelation.

The Xu Mansion was surrounded by Jinyiwei on three floors inside and outside.

Even those with extremely high curiosity only dared to look from afar and did not dare to approach.

"It is not easy to gain favor, but it is only a matter of seconds to lose it."

In the tavern, Gao Zilun, the eldest son of the Minister of Rites, raised his wine glass, shook his head, and sighed in a pretentious manner.

The young masters at the same table with him could not help but sigh.

"And the new champion, he had a bright future, but now...tsk tsk tsk."

When Jiang Bojian was mentioned, the tone of ridicule in the sighs became heavier. Those

who hung out with Gao Zilun had naturally failed many times. Compared with others, they felt more comfortable mocking the new champion who defeated them.

Gao Zilun listened to their ridicule with a smile on his face, and suddenly he said, "But the matter has not been concluded yet, and I don't think he has fallen out of favor. If he really has fallen out of favor, who would send so many people to guard here?"

"Why do I think it looks like protection?"

Gao Zilun looked up. The man who was standing and talking was short. Although everyone looked down on him in their hearts, they had to give him some face. The

person who gave him was not him, but his godfather in the palace, He Xi, the governor of the Imperial Household Department.

The godson of the eunuch should have been in the palace, but this person happened to have a certain degree of kinship with He Xi.

Just because of this relationship, He Xi was reluctant to let him enter the palace.

After all, he is a perfect person. If he passes the imperial examination next year, wouldn't his He family be honored?

With this in mind, He Xi kept him outside the palace.

But the better sons of noble families looked down on him, so he could only hang out with these people first. If he caught the eye of a noble one day, it would be a real success.

Gao Zilun also knew what they were thinking. If he wanted to follow, they let him follow. However, this man seemed to be a born coward. He would not sit no matter what and would stand. He

was destined to serve others all his life!

After hearing what he said, before others opened their mouths, Gao Zilun was the first to sneer: "Protection? Such strict guarding, it's obvious that they are afraid that someone in the mansion will go out and inform."

"If it's really protection, then why were Xu Yanli and Jiang Kang'an imprisoned?"

The others followed Gao Zilun's lead, and after hearing what he said, they all echoed him.

The man who spoke frowned, and no matter how they ridiculed him, he didn't refute a word.

They said a few words, and seeing that this man was like a mute, they stopped talking and changed the subject.

"Speaking of which, Jiang Sulan really has a miserable life. Such a beautiful woman, if it weren't for the fifth prince, I'm afraid she would be the mistress of a family now."

The young masters in the capital didn't have any harsh words for Jiang Sulan.

She is infatuated, smart, and beautiful. Although she was a little weak before, she has recovered now.

"After being convicted, according to the law, all the women in the Xu family must serve as military prostitutes. When the beauty falls into trouble, I will ask the emperor to give her to me." "

She can't be a mistress, but she can be a concubine."

After hearing him say this, everyone couldn't help but have some wild thoughts.

Including Gao Zilun.

Gao Yan's debauchery was actually largely influenced by Gao Zilun.

Gao Zilun didn't care about men or women. His lustful nature was revealed when he was young. When he reached the age of adultery, he was even more unscrupulous.

Every night, he never slept alone.

That is, after running naked on the street before, he stopped for a few days, and then he returned to his old ways.

Hearing this now, he couldn't help but think about it again.

Anyway, that person would be used as a military prostitute in the future, so what if he played with her first, the emperor would not blame him because of her.

The more he thought about it, the more Gao Zilun couldn't bear it.

He got up and left the table, walking towards the mansion.

... The

Sixth Prince's Mansion.

After so many days, there was finally something that was done as he wished, and Xiao Yanli's mood suddenly became happy, and even his expression softened a little.

Seeing this, Ji Tong couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

"Brother Ji, don't worry, when Jiang Wenjing comes back and convicts him, I will make arrangements for you two brothers!" Xiao Yanli patted his shoulder lightly: "If you want anything, just say it, I will try my best to satisfy you!"

Ji Tong and Ji He quickly declined.

Ji He was the name Ji Tong gave him.

Xiao Yanli took the two brothers to have a meal and drink wine, and then let them go.

After the two figures disappeared, Xiao Yanli's eyes became clear. He poured himself a cup of tea and asked: "How are they? Are they behaving well? What did they do?"

"My lord, they are all very well behaved. Ji Tong takes medicine to heal his injuries during the day and occasionally practices sword. Ji He watches from the side. Ji Tong really treats Ji He as his younger brother. When he gets up at night, he often goes to his room and covers him with a quilt."

"Keep watching. If you find anything wrong, report to me immediately."

"Yes!"

...

Nangong.

The great elder stood in front of the King of Nangong: "The high priest has personally calculated that there is no gunpowder buried by the envoy of Tianqi in Nangong."

"Only three?"

The King of Nanlong looked at him in confusion, obviously not believing it.

"That's right, I asked the high priest why she refused to heal Princess Tudola."

"Why?"

The Great Elder hesitated, "Because the high priest said that Princess Tudola... is guilty."

"Guilty?"

The King of Nanlong frowned and looked at him, "What crime?"

"The high priest didn't say it clearly."

"What crime could my daughter have committed? It's obvious that she couldn't be cured, so she found an excuse to evade the question!"

The Great Elder: "..."

What else could he say?

He avoided the topic: "Since there is no gunpowder in Nanlong, Your Majesty might as well withdraw the people first."

It would have been better if he didn't say it. As soon as he said it, the King of Nanlong became rebellious.

"Why retreat? Doesn't the high priest make mistakes? Can her words be trusted?"

"Can't retreat, keep searching! What if there are still fish that slip through the net?!"

The elder took a deep breath.

If that's what you said, then why did you agree to let him go up the mountain to find the high priest? If

you don't believe anything he says, what's the difference between that and not asking?

The elder bowed tiredly: "In that case, I'll go down first."

The King of Nangong waved his hand impatiently.
