Your Majesty, the princess ran away again!

Chapter 195 High Priest

"The High Priest is the most special person in Risheng. Even His Majesty dares not lose his face." The little maid curled up, her body still shaking uncontrollably. "You should leave quickly. His Majesty should be back soon. Don't let him catch you."

Mu Nanyan felt a little uncomfortable, and the Messenger of Justice suddenly possessed her, "Don't worry, he can't catch me. Come, take me to find the high priest. Believe me, you are not naive enough to think that they will really let your family go. If you follow me, maybe you can still have a way out."

The little palace maid was indeed tempted, but could she really escape from this palace?

Mu Nanyan saw her concerns and continued to pursue, "You only have this one chance. The longer you delay, the more danger your family will face."

The maid bit her lower lip tightly, as if she had made a big decision, "I will go with you."

Mu Nanyan picked up her clothes from the ground and turned her back, "Put them on first. It's cold at night."

The little maid stretched out her hand from under the quilt and hurriedly put on her clothes, "Miss, I'm dressed."

"Let's go." Mu Nanyan grabbed her slender waist and jumped directly onto the roof to meet Jun Zhuoyuan, "Don't scare her."

Jun Zhuoyuan shrugged, he hadn't spoken yet. The little palace maid was really shocked when she saw him, "Miss." She grabbed the hem of Mu Nanyan's clothes and hid behind Mu Nanyan.

"I told you not to scare her." Mu Nanyan glared at him out of curiosity. This man was really not suitable to appear in front of girls. He had such a dead fish face!

Jun Zhuoyuan expressed his innocence, saying that he had done nothing, so why was the blame thrown on him when he was at home? Jun Zhuoyuan was afraid of being scolded, so he turned his head away and stopped looking at the two of them.

Mu Nanyan hugged the little maid and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, he is not a bad person, he is my man."

Jun Zhuoyuan's lips curled up when he heard her words. Yanyan finally acknowledged him in front of outsiders. His hard work paid off and he finally waited for this day.

The little palace maid still didn't dare to look at Jun Zhuoyuan, and quietly pulled at the hem of Mu Nanyan's skirt. Mu Nanyan smiled lightly. This little thing is really gentle. No wonder the old emperor fell in love with her. She also liked her very much. "Let's go, tell me where the high priest is."

"He's usually in the Astrology Hall, and I don't know where he is now."

"Then do you know where the treasury is here?" It would be bad to come here without taking something away. It was not her habit.

The little maid was stunned, "Miss, you..."

"Forget it. I guess you don't know either. Oh, are you going to ask about my identity? It's okay to tell you. I'm from Dongli. The purpose of this trip is to save you. Do you still want to live like this?" Mu Nanyan spoke from the bottom of her heart.

The maid lowered her head, tears streaming down her face, "I don't want to live like this anymore."

Mu Nanyan found a handkerchief from Jun Zhuoyuan's sleeve and wiped her tears herself, "Don't cry, your eyes will be swollen and ugly tomorrow. Now that I'm here, I will definitely be able to rescue you."

The little maid grabbed Mu Nanyan's little finger and walked in front. When they were about to reach the Astrology Hall, the little maid suddenly stopped. Mu Nanyan glanced at the house in the distance and thought that this was the right place to go. "Okay, I'll find a place for you to hide or you can follow me in. Don't worry, you will be safe with me here."

"I want to follow you." The little palace maid applied more force on her hands.

Mu Nanyan patted the back of her hand and said, "Okay, follow me. Don't be afraid. I'm a good fighter." Mu Nanyan raised her arms to show her muscles. Jun Zhuoyuan shook his head helplessly behind her.

This is a fun time, "Yanyan, come in."

"Let's go." Mu Nanyan put the person behind her and walked in front in a protective manner. Jun Zhuoyuan had no choice but to follow behind. The main reason was that this palace maid was too annoying. As soon as Yanyan arrived at Risheng Kingdom, she was pestered by her.

Mu Nanyan and her men walked around outside, not knowing the situation inside so it would be a bad idea to rush in. The three of them found a back door, and Mu Nanyan and her men sneaked in from the back. Jun Zhuoyuan jumped onto the roof to observe the movements below, ready to take action at any time.

The Astrology Hall is not big. There is a huge platform in the middle with stones of various colors placed on it. Mu Nanyan walked closer and picked up a stone to fiddle with it. There was nothing special about it, just some jade or something. The quality was not as good as the ones in her house, not to mention the ones in the space.

Mu Nanyan looked around and saw that there was no one around, so she picked up a book from the bookshelf and read it. It only recorded some weather conditions, nothing special. Could it be that the high priest she mentioned was a weather forecaster?

Mu Nanyan asked: "Little girl, what does your high priest do?"

The little palace maid said, "I haven't seen it either, I just heard about it. The high priest usually observes the sky here, and he is also responsible for your majesty's health."

How can we distinguish between main and side jobs? Can this person also treat illnesses? What the hell, if it is true as she said, the high priest should be about the same age as the emperor.

"There's no one here. I'll send you out first. Can you tell me what your relatives look like? After all, it's not very convenient to bring you around here."

The young palace maid felt that what she said made sense. After all, she was just a useless person who didn't know any martial arts. If she really encountered danger and needed the young lady to save her, it would be better for her to leave first.

Seeing her nod, Mu Nanyan couldn't help but feel relieved. It was not impossible to take her along, but she just felt uncomfortable. Jun Zhuoyuan's face almost fell to the ground. He could smell the sourness without being close to him. Someone was jealous.

The two men secretly sent the little palace maid out of the palace, gave her an address and asked her to wait there. After seeing everyone leave, they returned to the old emperor's bedroom. Since they couldn't find the high priest, they could at least follow the old emperor.

It happened that just as the two of them reached the roof, the old emperor returned. The Imperial Hospital suffered heavy losses tonight. All the medical books were missing, and even the records of diagnosis and treatment were gone.

He was in a bad mood to begin with. When he got back and went to bed, the beautiful lady was not there. "Someone, have you seen the person on the bed?"

"Your Majesty, I am guarding the door, but I have not seen anyone come in or out."

"Get out!" The old emperor kicked the man out. No one was seen going in or out. Could the person on the bed fly away?

"Xiao Lizi, call the high priest to me."

The chief eunuch of the palace responded by shouting and hurried to call for help. It was unknown when the Emperor's temper had become worse over the past two years, and his favored maids had increased in number, to the point that no one dared to come on duty here.

The old emperor sat on the couch and gasped for breath. The high priest came here slowly to ask questions. The chief eunuch was really anxious. His Majesty did not dare to punish the high priest, but their heads were not something that His Majesty could decide. "High priest, let's hurry up. His Majesty must be waiting impatiently."

"I understand. Don't worry, Chief Steward Li, don't worry. His Majesty won't vent his anger on you."

The Emperor of the Rising Sun Nation finally waited for someone to come. "Go down. I have something to discuss with the High Priest."

"Yes, I'll go and guard the door right away." The chief eunuch hurriedly retreated and lived another day.

The high priest looked mocking, "What's the matter, Your Majesty? What is the matter that you called me here so late?"

"High Priest, I feel very uncomfortable today. Do you have any more medicine?" The old emperor's trembling voice came from below to above. Mu Nanyue was stunned. Who of these two people is the emperor?

"Your Majesty, didn't I tell you that the medicine lead is gone and the dosage is limited. Your Majesty should just be patient. Chief Steward Li, please find two clean palace maids to serve you!" the high priest shouted outside the door.

"I'll leave first. The matter underground has not been resolved yet. I will not come out for the next two days. When the medicine is available, Your Majesty can send it directly. I heard that Concubine Juan is about to give birth. Your Majesty please keep a close eye on her for the next two days." After the high priest finished speaking, he left the bedroom. Mu Nanyan pulled Jun Zhuoyuan and hurriedly followed him.

Unexpectedly, they returned to the Astrology Hall after many twists and turns. However, this Astrology Hall has a basement, and the high priest never came out after entering. Mu Nanyan directly climbed into the house through the window, and after searching around, she finally found the mechanism on a bookshelf. In fact, this thing was not hidden very secretly, but the two of them didn't notice it before.

The tunnel door opened, and Jun Zhuoyuan reached out and pulled her, "I'll go in first."

Mu Nanyan stepped aside and let him go first, mainly because if she didn't let him go first, it would definitely take time. The tunnel was very long, with a light every three meters. It was very dim, and the walls were damp and dripping. There was just one very strange thing: why did there is a fishy smell in here? Could it be because it was close to the sea?

That’s not possible. Even if there is a smell several meters underground, it wouldn’t be the fishy smell of sea water.
