 The court hall suddenly exploded.

The king was frightenedly supported by the attendants next to him, but his eyes turned white and his body twitched, which was like a sign of illness.

 For a time, the ministers hurriedly took the king away and sent someone to inform the medical officer.

 In the crowd, the third prince and the sixth prince also followed, but unlike the anxious and flustered expressions of other ministers, the two of them acted much calmer.

 After all, the king is not young anymore. If he gets sick now, wouldn't he be able to pass the throne to them soon?

Thinking of this, the two of them left only one confidant behind to investigate the situation in the palace, and then left to make arrangements in a hurry.

The news that the king was ill in the court reached Xi Yan's ears after he was taken away.

 “Epilepsy?”

 He was thinking, a flash of understanding flashed in his eyes.

The king has been enjoying himself for so many years, and it is only a matter of time before his body collapses, but he did not expect that it would happen at this critical moment.

Xi Yan frowned. He could predict that in the next period of time, there would be a **** storm in the capital. Forget it if it were like the past. After all, those people would never stop fighting for a day. But now there are still things like rebellion and border invasions. Stacked together!

Xi Yan thought for a long time in the restaurant's wing, and finally called the restaurant's steward.

 The steward bowed respectfully: “Your Highness.”

 “Go to the military camp in person and bring my words to the general. You must tell him personally.”

"yes."

Before the steward arrived at the military camp, Si Jin received the news from the palace. He was not surprised after hearing it, but his expression was unpredictable and he didn't know what he was thinking.

The steward took Xi Yan's words and left. Not long after, the general rode a fast horse to the holy mountain.

When the tallow priest came to summon the general to request an audience, the priest of the temple was standing under the high platform of the priest's temple, staring blankly at the sky above his head.

  The vault of the priest's temple is a series of vivid murals, telling the story of the years when the temple was built along with the loss of the country.

 “.Let him in.”

 After a long while, the temple priest slowly spoke out.

The tallow priest bowed and left, and then the general walked in with steady and powerful steps.

 His steps were too familiar to the temple priest, and she turned around just before he reached her.

 She called softly: "General."

Si Jin stopped, stared into her eyes, and said firmly: "You knew I would come."

"yes."

 The temple priest nodded.

 “As you said, a rebellion has occurred and war is coming again.”

  It took the general several years of time and effort to bring a short-term stability to the country-lost frontier. Who would have thought that problems would grow internally?

This made him clearly understand that the foundation of the lost country was rotten and could not be saved. But this had nothing to do with him. He could have just walked away, but—

 The general looked at the calm and composed person in front of him, and remained calm from beginning to end, even though this was also related to her fate.

 She has really isolated herself from the world. She seems to be compassionate, but in fact she has been watching indifferently, and even she doesn't care.

Si Jin looked away slightly and said, "I will go on an expedition soon."

 But he couldn't help but care, especially about her. So what he can do is try his best to save this declining dynasty, or at least give him some more time.

 The temple priest nodded again: "I know."

 “Do you still remember my previous proposal?”

Looking at the slightly confused eyes of the temple priest, Si Jin sneered, "I said, I will take you to see the beautiful mountains and rivers outside."

ˆ “.”

 The temple priest was speechless and answered him with silence.

"I see."

 The general smiled mockingly.

He didn't say anything after that, but silently followed the temple priest, watching her every move.

He watched her flipping through the books carefully and attentively, watching her water the only green plant in the study, and watching her stand under the big tree in the courtyard of the side hall and watch the fallen leaves drift in the wind.

These are all the daily routines of the temple priest. She has repeated it for countless days and nights, but this time, she looked helplessly at the 'little tail' behind her: "Aren't you going to do your work, General?"

 “Oh, I’m not busy today.”

Si Jin calmly panicked.

 How could he not be busy? During this period, various invitations and temptations were sent to the general's mansion and the military camp in piles, and people from all sides wanted to know his attitude.

 The temple priest sighed softly: "Why are you lying in front of me? I can see it."

　　".I did it on purpose, what can you do to me."

 The general's attitude suddenly became bad.

Of course, this is just what he thinks is bad. Compared with his method of punishing soldiers, this badness is like playing house.

Unsurprisingly, the temple priest was indifferent, and there was even a fleeting smile in his eyes.

Si Jin's attention was focused on her, so when he noticed this change, his eyes shone with surprise.

 “Do you like my attitude?”

He was surprised and a little depressed at the same time. Did the temple priest like him to be cruel to her? But this is a bit difficult for him.

How could he be so cruel to the temple priests?

 “Temple priests have no preferences.”

However, when this sentence fell into the ears of the general, it was a tough talk.

He seemed to have a secret, his eyes were filled with a pleasant smile, and the corners of his lips were raised: "Really? You will always have a preference."

 The temple priest stubbornly denied: "No, I didn't."

"Huh?" The general approached her and said deliberately, "Then why do I feel that you are partial to me?"

ˆ “.”

 The temple priest fell into stunned silence.

Seeing that she was deep in thought, she seemed to be thinking about whether she had a preference for the general. A trace of annoyance flashed in the general's eyes.

She shouldn't tell her. What if she still neglects him like last time? What should he do?

 The temple priest thought for a long time before he raised his head in confusion and asked him seriously: "Is that a preference?"

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　?)

Si Jin didn’t expect that after she had been frowning and worrying for so long, she actually came to such a conclusion?

However, Si Jin tried hard to restrain the expression on her face, but her heart was already filled with joy. How could she be so cute! !

Seeing that the temple priest showed no resistance, Si Jin nodded reservedly: "Yes, isn't this enough of a preference?"

 He imagined in his mind that the temple priests would wake up and accept themselves happily.

"I know." The temple priest interrupted his fantasy seriously, "Maybe I have been slacking off in my practice recently, so I will practice behind closed doors."

　　　　???”

Si Jin's eyes widened suddenly, and he watched in disbelief as the temple priest closed the door to isolate him from the outside.

ˆ “.”

For the first time, he realized what it meant to shoot oneself in the foot.
