Chapter 15 The King and the High Priest

When Chu Jun opened his eyes again, his vision blurred for a moment.

Above him was a lofty dome, engraved with intricate patterns. Sunlight shone through it, glittering like a bizarre dreamscape.

Mo Heng noticed it the moment Chu Yun opened her eyes, and hurriedly called the doctors around to check Chu Yun's body.

Chu Jun was attracted by the doctors' actions and regained consciousness. He turned around and looked around, and saw Mo Heng standing next to him, not daring to approach him.

The man's eyes were lowered at this time, his golden pupils were dull, his long eyelashes cast shadows on his face, and his lips were tightly pursed.

Chu Jun extended his hand to the man. Mo Heng hesitated for a moment before gently holding the young man's hand.

Perhaps because he had been lying in bed for a long time, Chu Jun's palms were colder than usual.

The boy had fair skin to begin with, and his lips were now pale due to lack of blood.

There were also some red marks on the skin that was not covered by the quilt. Lying on the white sheets, she looked more vulnerable and reminded Mo Heng of what he had done.

Mo Heng blamed himself extremely, as he could still vividly remember the atrocities he had committed against Chu Jun last night.

He watched Chu Jun fall asleep, but he couldn't stop moving, as if only in this way could he truly feel the boy's presence.

Mo Heng didn't know what was wrong with him that would make him do such a thing to the person he loved. The feeling of being out of control was terrible.

He was afraid that if the boy got too close to him, he would be hurt again.

Chu Jun knew that Mo Heng was upset because of what happened yesterday, but he didn't know how to comfort him for a moment.

------

The two held hands in silence for a moment, then a child's voice came from outside the house: "Brother, can Emmo come in?"

In the morning, Aimo did not wait for Chu Jun, and his brother did not inform him in advance that he would not come, which made Aimo feel a little strange.

Later, he overheard the maids mention that the high priest had fainted and His Majesty had summoned all the doctors in the capital to treat Chu Jun. Ai Mo became a little worried.

After spending these few months together, Emo likes the high priest brother very much.

The elder brother is very gentle and has a very nice smile. He also teaches him how to recognize people and things, and recognize things that he has never seen in the tribe before.

Since he came to the palace, there has not been a single unhappy day. It was a rare warmth that Aimo had experienced since his grandfather passed away.

So little Aimo thought of coming to visit his brother.

Inside the house, Mo Heng helped Chu Yun put on her clothes to cover the scars on her body. Then he let the guards let Ai Mo in.

"Is my brother okay? I heard from Brother Sosai that he is sick."

"Brother is fine, he was just a little tired, so he fainted." Chu Jun didn't want to worry the child, so he comforted him.

"Then brother should have a good rest. Emo can study by himself in the morning, so brother doesn't have to get up so early." The child reminded Chu Jun caringly.

Chu Jun found it a little funny to be lectured by a five-year-old child. He couldn't help laughing and reached out to touch Aymo's head.

Chu Jun couldn't explain why he fainted, so he just smiled and said, "Your Excellency won't faint if you get up early. Just concentrate on your studies. I can teach you again after I rest."

Emo received a pat on the head from his beloved brother and was tricked away in a daze.

After tricking the child away, the high priest dismissed the guards and priests around him and opened his arms to Mo Heng: "I want a hug."

When they were little, whenever Mo Heng was in a bad mood, Chu Jun would comfort her like this. As long as Chu Jun made a gesture to hug him, Mo Heng would smile and give him a firm hug.

The same thing happened now. When Chu Jun opened his arms to him, Mo Heng's body moved before his thoughts and he stepped forward to hug the boy.

Chu Jun touched the back of Mo Heng's neck with her hand. It was Chu Jun's habitual action, and it comforted Mo Heng very well.

Mo Heng indeed seemed to be comforted, and he did not show any distant behavior after that.

The days that followed were filled with sweetness and Chu Jun felt as if he had returned to the divine realm.

------

In the summer, a large delegation of envoys from the Wensu Dynasty arrived in the royal capital.

The Wensu Dynasty and the Menduo Dynasty were adjacent to each other, and there should have been competition for land, but a vast ocean separated them, allowing the two dynasties to live in harmony.

Wensu and Menduo both have a long history and splendid culture, and have each developed a unique social system, customs and political system.

Despite the differences between them, their geographical proximity enables communication and interaction.

This exchange includes not only trade but also the spread of ideas and the mutual influence of art and culture.

The two countries had maintained friendly exchanges since the reign of Mendo I, and relations became even closer during the reign of Mendo II.

The Wensu Dynasty was also a country ruled by the monarchy, but it had a strict hierarchical system, a large number of nobles and strict class divisions.

Compared to the Mendo Dynasty, commoners had very little power in Wensu.

This year, the envoys sent by the Wensu Dynasty were members of the royal family, which had never happened before.

If it was said that the Wensu Dynasty sent an envoy for no other purpose, the officials of the Mendo Dynasty would not believe it.

The officials quarreled that day because of this matter.

They believed that although the Wensu Dynasty had good relations with the Mendo Dynasty, they had ulterior motives in sending royal family members on a visit and should not agree to it;

Another group believes that the Wensu Dynasty’s sending of royal family members on a visit is a sign of trust in our Menduo Dynasty, and we should warmly welcome it.

Finally, His Majesty agreed to the visit of Wen Su's delegation.

The Mendo Dynasty is now strong and has a powerful army. There is no need to be timid. We should let them come over openly.

------

"Your Highness, the Mendo Dynasty is heavily guarded. Our spies are having trouble moving here, and there's still no news..."

"Let them continue their investigation! Xiao You's last trace showed him boarding a cargo ship bound for the Mendo Dynasty. I want to see him alive or dead."

"But Your Highness, the spies we sent last year haven't brought back any useful information yet. Perhaps the young prince has gone somewhere else?"

"Impossible! I know Xiao You. He has always longed for Mendo. He must be here."

"Yes, I will have someone continue the investigation." The old man agreed, but then he remembered something and sighed, "Oh, I don't know how the young prince is doing. He has been away from home for so long and has not sent a letter back..."

The old man dressed as a servant did not say the rest of the words. There has been no news from the young prince for more than half a year, and it is likely that he is in great danger.

However, the eldest prince loved the young prince very much and did not believe that the young prince was dead, so he was willing to take the risk of offending the Mendo Dynasty and come here in person.

"Or we can tell the truth to the Mendo Dynasty and ask them to help us find it."

"Fili, you're oversimplifying things. When Xiao You disappeared, Father had no intention of looking for him. Now, why would Father be so shameless as to ask the Mendo Dynasty for help? Isn't this a complete slap in his face?"

The eldest prince knew how much his father cared about his reputation. Xiao You was not favored by his father to begin with, and now that Xiao You was missing, his father would not bother with him any more.

A member of the royal family running away from home is already a family scandal. Now, he is left behind in the territory of another country, which is something that cannot be spoken out. How could my father ask Mendo to help find him?

Earl didn't think about it any further. He looked at the vast desert and asked his attendant Fili, "How long will it take us to reach the capital?"

"About three days."

"Send more people to look for it, and don't miss any possible information."

"Yes."

Philip took the order and went down to instruct his subordinates.

Prince Earl of Wensu rubbed his brows worriedly, hoping that he could still find Xiaoyou's trace, even if it was just a little bit.

Three days passed quickly, no miracle happened, and no information about Xiao You could be found, as if he had disappeared out of thin air.

------

Earl and his party had no choice but to enter the royal capital first.

As soon as he entered the royal city, Earl was received by Mo Heng.

During the banquet, Earl did not reveal any flaws or reveal any information, as if he had really come to conduct trade exchanges with the Mendo Dynasty.

It was not easy to deal with Moheng Mendo. After the welcome banquet, Earl was exhausted and got on the carriage, ready to return to the delegation's residence.

The carriage had just started, the wind blew the curtains, and Earl accidentally glanced out and it was an unforgettable sight for the rest of his life.

The young man was wearing a white robe, with black hair hanging down to his waist.

He has a pair of black eyes that shine like obsidian in the moonlight.

The delicate facial features are like the most perfect work of God, not like those of ordinary people.

Her fair skin stood out like pearls among the brown or dark brown guards.

Such a beautiful person, even Earl, who was used to his brother's beauty, couldn't help but be attracted by her.

He immediately forgot about Xiao You, as if he had lost his mind.

"Who's that over there?" Earl saw the beauty turn around and disappear at the intersection, and hurriedly asked the coachman in front.

"Your Highness Earl, that is the high priest of our dynasty." The groom replied respectfully.

"The high priest? He looks so young."

"Yes, sir. Lord Chu Yun is a messenger from God, so he is naturally young." As the groom spoke, his tone rose slightly, as if he was excited and proud.

"Chu Yun..." Even the name is so nice, but poor little You was forgotten by his own brother.

Since then, every time Earl talked with officials of the Mendo Dynasty, in addition to testing Xiao You, he would intentionally or unintentionally inquire about Chu Yun's news.

However, these officials have all been carefully trained by His Majesty, so how could they easily reveal the news of their high priest to an outsider?

This is a matter between His Majesty and the High Priest, so they naturally kept their mouths shut and would not say a word.

After running into obstacles everywhere, Earl finally woke up and remembered the most important purpose of his trip.
