Chapter 152 Don’t you remember me?
Feng Qi was stunned for a moment, his eyes cold beneath the mask, his voice icy: "The eldest princess has a noble destiny, and is my benefactor in Southern Xinjiang."
In the Central Plains, those who studied these astrological phenomena were called the Imperial Astronomical Observatory. After the death of every royal family member, someone from the Imperial Astronomical Observatory would give a fortune-telling. Xie Zhaochu's fate wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either. The Southern Xinjiang High Priest's words were so polite that one couldn't help but suspect flattery.
But she was an outsider, far from his status as the High Priest, so it was not Feng Qi's turn to flatter her. Xie Zhaochu couldn't understand it, but because so many Southern Border nobles were still present, she didn't dare to say anything.
According to the rules of Southern Xinjiang, new women who entered the royal family of Southern Xinjiang had to kneel alone before the Moon Goddess for a full night.
Everyone dispersed, leaving only Xie Zhaochu kneeling in front of the altar.
The high priest stood on the altar. At this moment, only he and Xie Zhaochu were in the hall. The sound of the burning brazier on the altar could be heard clearly. Only then did he begin to assess the eldest princess from the Central Plains.
She was a little too fair, and her round almond-shaped eyes looked at him. She had a pitiful face and a weak expression on her face, but there was a subtle toughness in her eyes - just like that man.
He turned his head, no longer looking into her eyes, and said, "You are destined to bring disaster. You will bring war to southern Xinjiang."
Xie Zhaochu raised his eyes and saw a slender figure standing on the high steps. He was wearing a blue robe that reached the ground, and the cuffs were embroidered with dark patterns in silver thread.
She hadn't expected Feng Qi to suddenly say something completely different than what he had just said. Was he lying to Helian Qi and the others? But wasn't he from Southern Xinjiang? Why was he helping her, only to deceive the Young Master of Southern Xinjiang?
As if he could see through Xie Zhaochu's thoughts, he explained: "Helian Qi has no tolerance for sand in his eyes. If I tell him your fate, you will not be able to escape death."
He slowly walked down from the altar until he was in front of Xie Zhaochu: "A war between two sides is not what the Moon God wants to see."
Xie Zhaochu looked up at his mask, saw his eyes through it, and asked, "So the priest is not from Southern Xinjiang?"
Her bold question gave Feng Qi pause. After a moment's silence, he whispered, "I'm from the Moon Worship Sect. Don't you remember me? The little princess of Central Plains?"
Xie Zhaochu suddenly woke up, and it turned out that the person in front of her was the one who killed the maid Shen Ying. At that time, Feng Qi killed Shen Ying, and her second sister blocked her view and lied to her that she was treating Shen Ying. Later, she said that Shen Ying had an epidemic and needed to be sent out of the palace for recuperation.
There was no further news of Chen Ying's whereabouts after that.
In fact, she had guessed that Chen Ying was probably gone, because before Chen Ying went to see Feng Qi, he put a red chalcedony bracelet that she had been wearing on her hand and told her to keep it and come back to her for it later.
Chen Ying always carried this carnelian bracelet with her. Xie Zhaochu guessed that it was something very important to her, but so much time had passed and Chen Ying never appeared again.
Being suddenly mentioned by Feng Qi at this moment, she didn't know if it was an illusion, but the carnelian bracelet on her wrist seemed to be heating up, burning her wrist so much that it hurt.
The Moon Temple was as deep as an abyss. As the candlelight flickered, the ferocious white tiger totem on the wall was slowly reflected.
Xie Zhaochu looked at the man in front of him wearing a silver mask and felt that he was like a ruthless evil god, with unpredictable moods, killing people invisibly, but with infinite divinity.
