Chapter 108 The Ninth Princess is really weird

The subsequent banquet ended safely without any unexpected incidents.

Originally, after attending Lu Li's birthday party, the envoys from other countries should have left, but they all found excuses to stay.

After all, they were very interested in the secret weapon developed by Daxia.

What exactly is the "Ninth Princess"? Can they steal the formula?

All of a sudden, officials working in the Ministry of Industry received various invitations. Everyone knew that the Ministry of Industry was going to become prosperous. With such a secret weapon in hand, all six ministries would be led by them.

Lu Yanshi knew what those people were planning but did not stop them.

It just so happened that he also wanted to take advantage of this period of muddy water to see who in Daxia would collude with envoys from other countries to steal the secret recipe of explosives.

…

After returning to the embassy, ​​Kang You immediately invited a witch doctor to treat the high priest Yang Jiuxiao. The witch doctor said that the high priest could be saved, but he needed to rest and would wake up in about five days.

Kang You frowned slightly.

Under the current circumstances, they may not be able to leave Daxia and have to continue staying in the embassy.

He went to find Saint Yin Yuehua and asked what happened today.

Yin Yuehua shook her head: "I don't know, I just told the high priest what the gods told me."

No matter how Kang You asked, Yin Yuehua kept repeating the same thing.

Kang You realized that he couldn't get any information out of the question, so he had to leave.

After he left, Yin Yuehua fell on the couch, her face pale.

It's over. The high priest is in a coma. What should she do as a fake saint?

Yu Shutong took this opportunity to approach Yin Yuehua alone, and counseled her every day, deliberately tempting her to talk to her more. Finally, she imitated the saint's voice perfectly.

On the fifth day, Yang Jiuxiao woke up.

Kang You came over to inquire about the situation as soon as possible, but Yang Jiuxiao's throat seemed to be injured and he couldn't speak.

Kang You was a little annoyed because he couldn't get any useful information. He just came to Daxia to celebrate the birthday of the ninth princess, but how did it turn out like this?

And Yu Shutong understood that the opportunity had come, and it was now.

Yang Jiuxiao had just woken up and was weak. She secretly contacted her colleagues and made Yang Jiuxiao dizzy.

Yin Yuehua was worried that after Yang Jiuxiao got into trouble, the fact that she couldn't communicate with the gods would be exposed, and she hadn't been sleeping well in the past few days.

Yu Shutong deliberately made her a calming soup with some added ingredients, which made her fall into a deep sleep.

Everything was ready. Yu Shutong changed into Yin Yuehua's clothes in the room and dressed up as the Saint of Southern Xinjiang.

It was evening, and a crescent moon hung high in the sky.

Hearing a cat's meow, Yu Shutong realized that it was her turn to appear. Her companions had already led Kang You here.

She quietly opened the door and tiptoed out of Yin Yuehua's room.

Kang You passed by and saw the saint. When he was about to pay his respects, he found that she had left her room stealthily and was walking towards the high priest's room.

Kang You's voice died in his throat, and driven by curiosity, he followed.

The saint entered the high priest's room and heard a faint sound from inside. Kang You immediately put his ear close to it.

"High Priest, what should we do now?"

"You are injured, and I can't communicate with the gods. If I return to Southern Xinjiang, everything will be over."

"You were the one who chose me. You already knew that I don't have the ability to communicate with gods. You asked me to pretend. You can't just ignore me."

These words exploded in Kang You's ears like a bolt of thunder.

Why? Since the saint has no ability to communicate with the gods, why did the high priest choose her to be the saint?

A vague voice came, and Kang You couldn't hear what the other party was saying, but he knew it was the high priest speaking.

Before he could figure out what the high priest said, the next moment he heard the saint's relieved voice.

"Okay, then I'll do as you said. It's all the fault of the Ninth Princess of Daxia for making me lose my divine power."

"Don't worry, I remember everything you asked me to do. I will always be loyal to you."

Kang You was shocked.

What? The Saint has no divine power? They actually want to put the blame on the Ninth Princess of Daxia.

Hearing footsteps, Kang You left in a hurry.

He didn't want to be caught eavesdropping by the Saint.

Yu Shutong disguised herself as a saint and returned to Yin Yuehua's room.

Kang You felt as if struck by lightning and returned to his room in a daze.

Have they been deceived all these years?

The saint has no divine power and cannot communicate with the gods. Has the high priest been deceiving them?

Kang You felt like his world was collapsing.

He tossed and turned in bed all night and finally fell into a drowsy sleep at dawn.

Yang Jiuxiao woke up. Today he was more sober than yesterday, and his throat was much better.

He had no idea that he had been plotted against last night.

He stood up and prepared to get the five hundred year old ginseng that he had hidden away. His body was in urgent need of such a tonic.

He opened the jade box carefully, but he was furious to find that the five hundred year old ginseng inside had turned into a dead branch.

"Who? Who stole my ginseng!" Yang Jiuxiao was so angry that he almost fainted again.

But what he secretly kept was the birthday gift that the emperor gave to the Ninth Princess of Daxia, so it was useless for him to be angry.

This matter could not be made public, and he had no way to investigate it openly. He could only swallow his anger.

“Boom boom boom.”

There was a knock on the door.

Yang Jiuxiao was filled with anger.

"who?"

"High Priest, it's me." Yin Yuehua was startled by his anger.

"Come in." Yang Jiuxiao took a deep breath and calmed down.

"High Priest, are you feeling better?" Yin Yuehua asked.

"Yeah, much better." Yang Jiuxiao nodded slightly.

If he hadn't found a way to save his life, the thunder that day would have really killed him.

Thinking of Lu Li, a fierce look flashed across Yang Jiuxiao's eyes.

The ninth princess of Daxia is indeed weird.

"Then shall we stick to what we said before and say that it was the Ninth Princess who did it?" Yin Yuehua asked anxiously.

Last night, she had a long, long sleep.

But as soon as she woke up, she started to worry again.

If the high priest could not give her a definite answer, she would not even have the courage to return to southern Xinjiang.

If the emperor knew that she had deceived everyone for so many years, she would probably die without a complete body.

"Well, let's proceed according to the plan and tell Kang You first." Yang Jiuxiao nodded.

"He is the most loyal dog around the emperor. As long as you can convince him, you won't have to worry about him anymore."

"Okay." With his words, Yin Yuehua finally felt relieved.

She immediately sent for Kang You.

Kang You didn't sleep well, and there was a dark spot under his eyes. He heard that the high priest and the saint were looking for him.

After hesitating for a moment, Kang You decided to go meet them.

Maybe he was just hallucinating last night. How could the high priest and the saint lie to him?
