Chapter 281 The High Priest Dies Suddenly
But breaking up couples was his favorite thing to do, and he felt that there was nothing wrong with it, so Ye Luwen agreed without hesitation.
"Okay, then based on what you said, I agree with you." Ye Luwen said with a wave of his hand.
When Ye Dina saw that her father agreed, she went out happily. She was going to tell Li Siqi the good news.
Soon, everyone in the palace knew that Ye Luwen had arranged a marriage between Li Siqi and Ye Dina.
When Xu Yingying heard the news, she stood there in a daze, as if struck by lightning. Li Siqi's situation was not much better, so he was also shocked.
Inside the palace.
Xu Yingying paced back and forth anxiously. Finally, she decided to ask Tao Yao to help send a message to let Li Siqi approach Ye Dina to get the antidote and leave.
After Li Siqi got the news about Xu Yingying, he entrusted Tao Yao to tell Xu Yingying not to worry, as he knew what was going on.
Xu Yingying calmed down a little after hearing this answer.
In this way, Li Siqi and Xu Yingying's plan went as planned.
As Ye Dina got along with Li Siqi, she found that Li Siqi was not so resistant to her, so she thought that Li Siqi accepted her, and she was immersed in the joy of getting married.
At the same time, Xu Yingying took advantage of the fact that everyone in the palace was busy with the marriage of Li Siqi and Ye Dina, and concentrated on studying how to break the palace formation.
Finally, with his unremitting efforts, Xu Yingying found a way to break the formation of the palace.
The wronged ghosts, no longer restricted, emerged one after another and prepared to seek revenge on the high priest.
At this time, the high priest, who knew nothing, was praying for Ye Dina wholeheartedly at the altar.
As the evil spirits got closer and closer to him, the high priest suddenly felt unwell and cold sweat began to appear on his forehead.
After a while, he was surrounded by evil spirits.
Looking at the endless evil spirits around him, the high priest was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground.
"Give me back my life..."
"I died so miserably!"
"This is all your fault. You have to give me your life in exchange for my own."
……
The evil spirits stretched out their hands towards the high priest's neck and spoke viciously.
Due to the extreme fright, the chronic poison in the high priest's body was stimulated. The combination of the two caused the high priest to fall to the ground, twitch a few times, and then foam at the mouth and die.
Suddenly, all the civil and military officials below the altar were stunned, and the entire sacrificial ceremony immediately fell into chaos.
Ye Luwen, who was standing on a high place, looked very unhappy when he saw this.
"Investigate. You must investigate thoroughly and give me a satisfactory answer."
Ye Luwen roared at his men.
"Yes, my king." The subordinate agreed tremblingly.
Because of the death of the high priest, Li Siqi and Ye Dina's marriage was also delayed.
In response, Ye Dina lost her temper in the house.
"Why did this damned high priest choose to die during my sacrificial ceremony instead of earlier? It's really unlucky. He even caused the princess' wedding to be postponed."
"What bad luck."
As Ye Dina spoke, she smashed everything that could be smashed in the house.
The maid Xiao Ye at the side saw her princess lose her temper, and then she said cautiously: "Princess, I think this is not an accident, but rather a man-made one."
After hearing this, Ye Dina was stunned, "Who could it be?"
"Princess, who in the palace do you think most doesn't want you to marry Master Li?" Xiao Ye spoke boldly upon seeing this.
"Is it...Xu Yingying? She is Li Siqi's wife, and she also knows something about ghosts. So it must be her."
Ye Dina suddenly realized.
"Okay, okay, why didn't I think of that before?"
"Let's go, I have to teach her a lesson and let her know who is the master of this palace."
After saying that, Ye Dina, instigated by Xiao Ye, rushed into Xu Yingying's bedroom in a very unfriendly manner.
At this time, Xu Yingying was still sitting in the bedroom, not knowing what was going on.
Xu Yingying was very happy to see Ye Dina coming. Just when she was about to say hello to Ye Dina, Ye Dina spoke before her.
"I don't know what you have in mind, but I hope you can behave yourself. You are already my father's concubine, so stop trying to take advantage of Master Li."
Ye Dina warned Xu Yingying fiercely.
Xu Yingying sighed helplessly when she heard this, and then advised: "As the prince of our Dafeng, Li Siqi will never marry you. What you are doing will only intensify the conflict between the two countries. It will not be good for anyone in the future. I advise you to give up this marriage on your own initiative."
As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately aroused Ye Dina's dissatisfaction.
"Heng, I think you are jealous that I can marry Mr. Li! I won't do what you say."
After saying that, Ye Dina took Xiao Ye away.
On the way, Ye Dina thought about it and decided to teach Xu Yingying a lesson.
Thinking of this, she came to the imperial study.
At this time, Ye Luwen was reviewing memorials in the imperial study.
Ye Luwen was slightly surprised when he saw Ye Dina appear.
"Why are you here, my sweet girl?"
Ye Dina did not say any unnecessary nonsense to Ye Luwen, but got straight to the point: "Reporting to the emperor, I know that the death of the high priest was caused by Xu Yingying. She told me before that she knew ghosts and gods. The high priest seemed to have been frightened to death. It was most likely Xu Yingying who did it."
Ye Luwen's expression changed immediately when he heard this. "Are you telling the truth?"
"Your Majesty, if I tell even a single lie I will die a miserable death." Ye Dina answered without hesitation.
After hearing this, Ye Luwen completely believed Ye Dina.
"Okay, okay, I was wondering why she was being so attentive to me a while ago. It turns out she was waiting for me here. I want to go and see this vicious woman."
After saying that, Ye Luwen rushed into Xu Yingying's bedroom.
Before Xu Yingying could react, Ye Luwen kicked Xu Yingying to the ground. Then Ye Luwen picked up the whip and prepared to whip Xu Yingying hard.
Tao Yao, who was standing by, couldn't bear to watch this anymore, so she quickly pushed down the barrier beside her, causing it to fall and hit Ye Luwen hard.
Fortunately, Ye Luwen reacted quickly and dodged to the side to avoid the attack.
Seeing that she didn't hit Ye Luwen, Tao Yao immediately fanned a gust of evil wind, which knocked the porcelain bottle off the cabinet.
"Bam—"
"Bang bang——"
The continuous falling of porcelain made Ye Luwen realize that something was wrong and he became more suspicious of Xu Yingying.
