Chapter 170: Sacrifice to Heaven
Chapter 170 Sacrifice to Heaven
When the emperor heard about the Queen Mother, after the morning court, he hurried to the Queen Mother's palace, looked at the slave's body, and walked to her.
"Queen Mother, how are you?"
"It's just a minor injury. Before she entered the palace, she checked her life experience and found that someone actually put their hands into the palace." The Queen Mother said coldly.
"Mother, people in the palace have been in panic recently, and I have nothing to do."
If he wanted to move the Chunyang woman to calm down the turmoil, it would be inappropriate for him to intervene, but it would be appropriate for his mother to intervene. This time, he would owe Brother Wang his debt, and he would definitely repay it twice as much in the future.
The Queen Mother looked at his troubled expression and put down her tea cup: "What did the Imperial Master say?"
"We need pure Yang women to offer sacrifices to heaven to calm down this wrath."
The Queen Mother looked at the maid lying on the ground. This incident did not seem to be a sign of wrath, but someone actually reached out to the palace. It was really audacious.
The Queen Mother knew that this was the only and most appropriate way to deal with it: "Then do it this way!"
"It's just that before the Imperial Master has found the second pure Yang woman, so many things have happened in the palace."
"Second place? What's going on?" the Queen Mother asked with a stern face.
The emperor told the queen mother that Mrs. Nanwang was born with a Chunyang destiny. She narrowed her eyes. She understood in her heart what the emperor meant. He came here to make her appear as this evil person.
The Queen Mother picked up the tea and drank it calmly: "What does the Emperor think of this matter?"
"I think it is important to calm down the troubles in the palace first. If a Chunyang woman sacrifices to heaven and something happens in the palace, there will be reason to start an investigation."
To trade one person's body for everyone's safety and for the peace of the palace, just like this, it is bound to fall out with Brother Wang.
The Queen Mother understood that even if King Nan returned his military power, his prestige in the capital would not be reduced at all. In the final analysis, the emperor still had no achievements. The late emperor had personally conquered the country. No one would object to him taking this position.
"Let's go to the Ai family for this matter."
"Mother."
The reason why he used her was because he felt that she was not his queen mother. It could be seen that she agreed so happily and his heart was shaken. This matter was still a bit dangerous.
The Queen Mother stretched out her hand to stop him from saying any more: "You just need to protect your position."
The emperor thought of her kindness in his heart and looked at the palace maid lying there: "Bury her."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The guards carried the palace maid out of the Queen Mother's chamber, and the Emperor also left to go to the imperial study to deal with the memorial. The Queen Mother rested in the chamber and then led the imperial troops to the Nanwang Mansion.
When the concubine heard that she was coming in a hurry, she hurried to the front yard: "Queen Mother, why did you bring people to the palace?"
"The Ai family wants to take away the Chunyang woman to sacrifice to heaven."
"You are still so superstitious at such an old age, but if you want to take away my son's concubine, you have to get through me."
Seeing that she could no longer swallow her anger, the Queen Mother walked up to her step by step, almost forgetting that this concubine was from the General's Palace and had a bad temper. Over the years, she was used to seeing her with a low eyebrow and a submissive look on her face.
"Whoever dares to stop us will be arrested together."
Shen Zhiyue heard that these two elders, who together were hundreds of years old, were arguing in the front yard. She didn't even dare to sleep in, so she hurried to the front yard.
Hearing their conversation, she staggered back and was about to hit the pillar in the corridor. A pair of hands caught her in time. At this time, she was a little confused. What?! Wouldn't it be possible to capture a pure Yang woman to sacrifice to heaven?
die.
It’s true that if you don’t cause trouble, it will automatically come to your door. There is no way to avoid it. Why do these people keep staring at them?
Shen Zhiyue felt someone calling in her ears. She looked up at the source of the voice and saw Bai Mingyu's lips opening and closing, but she just couldn't hear what he was saying.
She turned her head and looked at the front yard. The two elders were about to start a fight. According to this situation, unless Bai Mingyu rebelled, she would definitely die.
It's time to take care of the dying people. It's not too much to ask for something while you are still alive. Shen Zhiyue pushed his hand away and walked towards them.
Shen Zhiyue's face was very calm, as if she had accepted her fate: "I'll go with you, but before I leave, can you let me finish dinner here?"
The Queen Mother felt that it would be best if she could cooperate. After all, she was also a person of status, so she agreed, and the Queen Mother led the imperial army to withdraw from the Nanwang Mansion.
After they all left, the concubine ordered the door to be closed. She looked at Shen Zhiyue: "You shouldn't agree. You know that offering sacrifices to heaven means you will die."
Shen Zhiyue smiled: "I know, but didn't the concubine say that she can't cause trouble to the palace? As long as you hand me over, this disaster can be settled, and we will still make money."
The concubine had a stern face and was slightly angry: "That was a useless sacrifice of yours. They are targeting the old prince this time. Whether you die or not, they will not let the Bai family go."
Not everyone can pry into the secrets about the old prince. Those who snoop will die! The concubine’s eyes flashed fiercely, and she turned and left.
Bai Mingyu stepped forward: "Yue'er, I will send you away tonight."
He would never watch her die. Whoever wants Yue'er's life will take his life first.
Shen Zhiyue shook his head: "Escape does not solve the problem, but makes it bigger. If I leave, the entire palace will suffer."
When they first met, she was greedy for life and afraid of death, but who is not afraid of death? She just felt that it was not worth dying for such a person, so she desperately wanted to live.
But she was willing to die for him. She was happy to finally be able to do something for him and no longer regretted her powerlessness.
"I have a plan to escape."
He doesn't care about rights or anything like that. These people won't defeat him that easily.
"Bai Mingyu, let me protect you this time. You heard about me. I don't belong to this world. Maybe after this time, I can go home." Shen Zhiyue said with a smile.
She was smiling, but her eyes and heart were full of bitterness. If she really went back, they would never see each other again.
Bai Mingyu said seriously: "Yue'er, what are you talking about?"
"This may be the last thing I do for you. Anyway, the concubine doesn't look down on my status. When I sacrifice to the Queen, you will find someone better and be wronged yourself."
Shen Zhiyue smiled, but there were tears in her eyes. This time she could really go home and no longer had to endure all the inconveniences here. It was originally a joyful thing, but she didn't know why. I can't help crying.
Tears overflowed from her eyes, and she reached out in panic to wipe away the tears. Bai Mingyu looked at her insincere expression and felt extremely distressed. He stretched out his hand towards her.
Seeing this, Shen Zhiyue hurriedly took a step back: "I, I'm really fine. Maybe it's because I'm so happy to be able to go home."
"Yue'er."
Every time he called her so gently, she couldn't control her emotions. She walked over and hugged him tightly.
"Bai Mingyu, I will miss you, please forget about me." She said with force.
