Chapter 731 His Majesty said he wants to pass the throne to you.
"High Priest, in the court, the nine princes are vying for the throne. No matter who ultimately ascends to the throne, it has nothing to do with me. I have no interest in power. Besides, I haven't even recognized all nine princes, so I really don't know how to answer the High Priest's question," Jia Daoshi said with a smile.
After hearing Jia Daoshi's words, the high priest understood his meaning and nodded, saying, "Lord Ti Si is indeed an honest man."
The current Great Jing Dynasty is actually in a state of great chaos, with the nine princes having split into several factions.
Behind each faction lies a powerful force, and any decree that touches upon the interests of these forces will be obstructed.
This is a murky situation, and Jia Daoshi clearly doesn't want to get involved.
Jia Daoshi said, "High Priest, who can ascend to the throne is actually just a matter of the Empress's word. Why come all this way to ask me?"
The high priest smiled and said, "What Lord Tis said is not without merit."
Jia Daoshi waved his hand: "Alright, there's really nothing for us to talk about. The High Priest came to see me, it must be the Empress's doing, right? The High Priest might as well just say it directly, whatever the Empress's decree is, I'll just do it."
The High Priest said, "His Majesty sent me here with a decree. She doesn't think highly of any of the nine princes. His Majesty now intends to pass the throne to Princess Bingyan. He hopes that Lord Jia can do his best to assist her and not disappoint His Majesty's high expectations."
Upon hearing this, Jia Daoshi sneered inwardly. What was Ji Wuxin up to?
Passing the throne to Ji Bingyan? Wouldn't that be putting oneself in a very difficult position?
However, Jia Daoshi was too lazy to say any nonsense about refusing.
"High Priest, thank you for Your Majesty's trust. When you return, you must tell Your Majesty that Daoshi will definitely assist Bingyan well and will never let her down."
The High Priest nodded: "With Lord Tiss's words, I am at ease."
"Lord Tiss, there is something I'm not sure if I should say."
Jia Daoshi said, "High Priest, please don't hold back, just speak."
The High Priest said, "Lord Ti Si, His Majesty's intention to pass the throne to Princess Bing Yan this time is not a joke. I urge you to take it seriously."
Jia Daoshi: "..."
He didn't really believe that Ji Wuxin would pass the throne to Ji Bingyan.
However, after the high priest said that, Jia Daoshi hesitated again.
This is absolutely outrageous!
Why pass the throne to a princess when there are nine princes to choose from?
Is this because they're afraid the imperial court isn't chaotic enough?
"Thank you for the reminder, High Priest. I will certainly take it seriously!"
Despite his complaints, Jia Daoshi still had to respond to the High Priest's reminder.
The high priest originally wanted to ask Jia Daoshi what the secret weapon about thunder and fire was, but after thinking about it, he decided not to ask.
Actually, none of that matters anymore.
"Farewell, Lord Ti Si!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the high priest vanished from the spot.
They left decisively.
Jia Daoshi frowned.
This high priest came to Cliff City, only said a few words to me and that was it?
That's really mysterious!
After hesitating for a moment, Jia Daoshi still had Ji Bingyan summoned to his study.
Ji Bingyan is the leader of the Blood Droplets, so she should know this high priest quite well.
Soon, Ji Bingyan arrived at the study. After looking around, she asked with some doubt, "My lord, has the High Priest left?"
Jia Daoshi then took Ji Bingyan's soft hand and pulled her into his arms: "Bingyan, how much do you know about this High Priest?"
Ji Bingyan shook her head: "I only know that there is such a person who has been cultivating in seclusion in the Great Jing Imperial Palace. I don't know much about him."
"By the way, what's this guy doing here?"
Jia Daoshi put his arm around Ji Bingyan's waist and laughed, "He came here to deliver a decree, the Empress's decree. It's related to you."
Upon hearing this, Ji Bingyan couldn't help but ask curiously, "What imperial decree is it? Tell me about it."
Jia Daoshi was puzzled: "You don't know?"
"How am I supposed to know if you don't tell me?" Ji Bingyan rolled her eyes.
"Alright then." Jia Daoshi shrugged. "His Majesty said he wants to pass the throne to you."
"puff!"
Upon hearing this, Ji Bingyan was startled and choked on her saliva before she could swallow it.
"My lord, this is no joke."
"You should keep those words to yourself and tell His Majesty," Jia Daoshi said, somewhat speechless.
"Forehead……"
Ji Bingyan was speechless for a moment.
This news was so sudden; she wasn't prepared at all!
"Well... I don't want to be the emperor anyway, let whoever wants to be it be it!" After a moment of silence, Ji Bingyan simply gave up.
Jia Daoshi remained silent.
After a moment, he came to his senses. He couldn't be bothered with the affairs in the capital. It was more important to live his carefree life now.
The world is indeed in chaos right now; he needs to manage Youzhou Prefecture well first.
This place is much better than Yilan County.
He has both manpower and resources now, so why not get the cement out first and turn all the roads in Youzhou County into cement roads!
Just then, Yin Xin came in again: "Young master, Madam Nazha and Madam Dilraba are all dressed up and they say they want to see you."
Upon hearing this, Jia Daoshi finally came to his senses.
I really need to meet these two women.
"My lord, you have a date with your beloved, why don't you hurry over?" Ji Bingyan said with a smile.
"Alright, I'll go meet our queen and princess." Jia Daoshi chuckled.
"Silverheart, you lead the way."
"Yes."
Soon, led by Yin Xin, Jia Daoshi arrived at the courtyard where Haila Sunazha and Xiao Reba lived.
The two women now live together in what is considered the smallest courtyard in the city lord's mansion, with just two rooms. Next to it is Yi Qianxiao's courtyard.
At this moment, Yi Qianxiao was sitting on the wall, looking at Hailasu Nazha and Xiao Reba with a curious expression.
People who grow up on the grasslands possess a unique temperament, a temperament that is wild, untamed, and a little lively. This temperament attracts not only men but also women.
"Meet the adults!"
After seeing Jia Daoshi, Haila Sunazha and Xiao Reba stepped forward to pay their respects.
At this moment, both women had changed their clothes, and their completely new appearance greatly impressed Jia Daoshi.
The two changed into dresses, and after being dressed up by the maids, they looked like completely different people.
Haila Suna wore a black embroidered gold-threaded tulle dress, with a gold and jade belt around her waist, which accentuated her figure and made her look elegant and noble. Her slender waist and curvy hips were very charming.
As for Dilraba, she also changed into a light blue dress.
Gone is the wildness of wearing animal skin skirts; replaced by gentleness and quietness, like a girl next door, even her temperament has changed.
