"Tell me who is behind this quickly and I will spare your life."

Li Chenghui shouted loudly.

In fact, he was enjoying the pleasure brought to him by the disparity in status.

Feudal dynasty...is actually pretty good.

Ning Xiyuan laughed.

Just as he was about to reveal his identity as the high priest of the Dark Moon Cult, he heard another voice behind him.

A little weak, but very anxious.

"presumptuous!"

This voice sounded and attracted almost everyone's attention.

Then, the scholars and men of letters bowed and saluted. Even the arrogant princess subconsciously shrank back.

"See Prince Regent!"

"See Prince Regent!"

The voices were in unison, with obvious respect.

Li Chenghui's expression also changed.

Regent?

His uncle is the emperor's most trusted uncle.

A strict and officious elder, who was actually only a few years older than him.

"Uncle." Li Chenghui took a half step back and called out respectfully.

Ning Xiyuan looked up and saw that the man was wearing a purple official robe with a ferocious python embroidered on it.

Untied hair.

It seemed hasty, but not awkward.

But his face was as pale as paper, his steps were unsteady, and there seemed to be worry between his brows.

[Li Changyan, Regent of Xuandu Kingdom] The system gave a perfect reminder.

"Your Excellency has come to the imperial capital, and we are impolite for not being able to greet you." Li Changyan was supported by someone and walked in front of Ning Xiyuan. He folded his hands and pushed them forward slightly as a greeting.

Ning Xiyuan curled his lips: "No need to be polite."

This person...

It looks like it's dying, but actually...

"Uncle, what priest?" Li Chenghui frowned and asked anxiously.

Even her own uncle bowed to her so respectfully... Could this little girl, who seemed like she had never seen her before, be some important figure?

Li Changyan stood on the left side of Ning Xiyuan, frowning and looking at Li Chenghui, and then scolded: "This is the high priest of the Dark Moon Cult, Chenghui, don't be rude."

Xuandu Kingdom has always attached great importance to the divine religion, so it is understandable that Li Changyan has done this.

Li Chenghui immediately had a curse word stuck in his mouth.

Isn't it that the Dark Moon Cult has always been elusive and unwilling to show up?

This time I came to the capital...

"Chenghui, why don't you say hello?" Li Changyan criticized Li Chenghui harshly, while showing a humble and guilty smile towards Ning Xiyuan.

"Master Priest, I am truly sorry. Chenghui is still young and a little naughty."

"After receiving the letter from the prefect of Cangzhou, I thought of coming to take you into the city."

"Unfortunately, it's still a little late..."

"Uh-huh."

Li Changyan did not look well at all. He seemed to be seriously ill and lifeless, as if he would wither away at any time.

Such a unique temperament attracted Ning Xiyuan to take a second look.

After hearing what Li Changyan said, the literati and nobles standing below bowed and greeted Ning Xiyuan.

Such a young girl...could she be the high priestess of the Dark Moon Cult! ?

how can that be!

But the Regent has already admitted it himself... Even if they have doubts, they cannot ask them in person.

"Uncle, how could she be the high priestess? Are you being fooled?" Li Chenghui was furious.

He just started to show off his power as a prince!

He also wants to use his power to oppress others!

Why do you ask him to bow and greet now?

Why!

Li Chenghui cursed and roared in his heart, but did not show it on his face.

In fact, he was still a little afraid of his uncle.

At this moment, Li Chenghui hated it so much that the divine power of Xuandu Kingdom was so high above them that it even suppressed the authority of their royal family.

If he becomes emperor, he will definitely eradicate all these cults!

Li Changyan's face was cold, and his dark eyes stared at Li Chenghui: "If Chenghui continues to be so rude, I will have to discipline him on behalf of my brother."

Li Chenghui fell silent, and then, reluctantly and perfunctorily bowed to Ning Xiyuan.

It wasn't sincere at all, the movements were very small, and he was even ready to straighten his waist as soon as it was bent.

But the girl's voice still rang out a second before he stood up.

"Flat body."

When he stood up, the girl was still smiling, her tone of voice was relaxed, and her voice was as pleasant as a clear spring.

What was said was really annoying -

"The Third Prince is a man without blessings."

Ning Xiyuan said truthfully.

Yes...someone who looks disgusting.

"You!" Before Li Chenghui could say anything rude, he received a warning look from Li Changyan.

So the movement suddenly died down.

"Your Excellency the Priest, would I have the honor to invite you to stay at my palace?" Li Changyan smiled and explained quickly.

"My brother is busy with his work, so I will receive you on his behalf."

Li Changyan's words were sincere, but his attitude was businesslike.

Ning Xiyuan smiled: "Okay."

Of course it's good.

In this imperial capital, apart from the imperial palace, where else can be as comfortable as the prince's palace?

Before leaving, Li Changyan also greeted Ning Jin.

When Li Changyan and Ning Xiyuan left, the people who were surrounding them dispersed in an instant.

For them...

No one has forgotten the incident of the fifth prince copying poems.

Li Changyan looked at the backs of those people, his face turned pale and murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

"You absolutely cannot stay."

He said coldly.

A man who is connected to theocracy and knows his secrets...

You must not stay in this world.

Behind him stood Ning Jin, dressed in white.

"Can't stay."

She stated this point as if in agreement.

Ning Xiyuan...why is he involved with the Dark Moon Cult?

How long has it been?

No one falls in the same place twice, not even her.

We need to...get rid of this competitor as soon as possible.

-

Li Changyan's carriage was really spacious, with three horses pulling the carriage.

There are soft couches, desks, incense burners, and snacks.

Ning Xiyuan sat down calmly.

[Host, what would you do if the Regent King did not show up? ] The system could not help but ask.

This regent... was totally beyond our plan.

Ning Xiyuan said calmly: "Raining is not a big deal."

【...6】

The system was speechless.

So he started to send Li Changyan's information to Ning Xiyuan.

According to the information, Li Changyan was born to a humble mother and was frail. Although he was talented, he was not taken seriously.

He once helped the current Emperor Xuandu ascend the throne.

[It is said that he had witnessed his biological mother being killed by the enemy, and was then poisoned by a strange poison from the Western Regions. Since then, he has been depressed and wanted to die.]

[It was the emperor who personally persuaded him, even eating and living with him, and entrusting him with the country, that made him change his mind]

The information in the system are all folk legends, excerpts and compilations, and their authenticity needs to be considered.

Ning Xiyuan smiled: "You want to die?"

She repeated these four words with a smile on her face.

I really didn’t see it.

But the ambition in his eyes was not hidden well enough.

Ning Xiyuan was chatting with the system when Li Changyan also spoke.

"Master Priest, may I ask why you came to the imperial capital this time?"

The man spoke, his tone respectful.
