Splendid Phoenix Journey: The Arrogant Princess

Chapter 529 Living Human Sacrifice 1
Even though Shen Wanyu only had contact with Princess Xining during the Four Kingdoms Competition, she liked this silent girl in her heart.Because her eyes are as pure as the little white rabbit.

She raised her head and looked at the person who was walking by. The crimson palace attire made the quiet girl a little more charming and youthful.A girl her age, as it should be.When she was in Dakun, she was too quiet.

"Xining, why are you here? The queen mother agreed to let you go out of the palace. Or you sneaked out of the palace again."

With helplessness and a bit of pity in Shang Rui's eyes, he stretched out his hand and pulled Xining to sit beside him.Over the past year, Xining's personality has changed a lot.

"Sister-in-law of the crown princess, you will make fun of Xining. This time, Xining came out of the palace in a fair manner. Both the queen mother and the emperor know about it."

Xining pursed her lips slightly, and muttered in a delicate voice.

Surprise flashed in Shen Wanyu's eyes, she always felt that Xining was different now than when she was in Dakun.It was as if it was a different person, she looked at Shang Rui suspiciously.I always feel that all of this must have something to do with Shang Rui.

"Okay, let's let your sister Wanyu have a good rest. Tomorrow she and the prince will follow the prince into the palace to meet the emperor. When the people from the other two countries arrive, there will be a palace banquet. It will be If you are tired, follow me to my place."

Shang Rui's eyes fell on Shen Wanyu's stomach, and a look of envy flashed in her eyes: "You are pregnant now, you should pay more attention to rest."

Hearing Shang Rui's words, Shen Wanyu's eyes were full of surprise.She didn't seem to tell her that she was pregnant again.How does she know? Could it be that she is still a prophet?
"How did you know I was pregnant again?"

"I heard that Nanny Yu was taking care of you when you were pregnant. I guessed it when I saw that you brought Nanny Yu with you this time. Otherwise, if you went to the Southeast Region, wouldn't you take two momma Yu with you?" The child stays in the Hou Mansion."

The corner of Shen Wanyu's mouth twitched, it turned out that Shang Rui really knew her very well.Just seeing Nanny Yu, she guessed that she was pregnant.It's different when she becomes a princess, she becomes more and more intelligent.

When Xining heard that Shen Wanyu was pregnant again, she quickly stood up and pulled Shang Rui: "Sister Wanyu is pregnant and has traveled for so long, let's go first and don't disturb her to rest."

Although Xining doesn't know if pregnant people are easy to get tired, she has always seen the concubines in the palace once they were pregnant since she was a child.All of them are so fragile that they wish they could lie on the bed all the time.

Shen Wanyu didn't keep the two of them, she was indeed a little tired.And she will stay here until the end of the sacrificial ceremony, and she will still have time to chat with them in the future.

Watching the two leave, looking for and Chunlan immediately went to fetch water to help her wash and waited for her to lie down before exiting the room.

Shen Wanyu fell into a drowsy sleep, feeling the place beside her sink.She was hugged into her arms, and the familiar faint scent of jasmine immediately flooded her nostrils.The corners of her mouth raised slightly, and her small face rubbed against his chest.

"You came back from the prince? Why did you stay for so long? Is there something wrong?"

Shen Wanyu didn't open her eyes, but asked in a hoarse and sleepy voice.

"It's nothing, I just heard that this year's sacrificial ceremony is different from previous years."

Chu Mohan frowned slightly, and his slender hands unconsciously stroked her silky black hair.

Shen Wanyu heard that there seemed to be hidden emotions in Chu Mohan's voice that she didn't understand much, and she opened her sleepy eyes and looked at him.

"What's the matter, why do I think you are a little weird. Is there something wrong?"

Chu Mohan looked down at the little lady who was looking at him with worry in her eyes, her eyes darkened.Thinking about whether to tell her such a thing, looking at her anxious little face.He sighed in his heart, anyway, she would know sooner or later.

"This year's sacrificial ceremony is different from previous years. This year we will use living people to sacrifice."

Shen Wanyu's eyes widened when she heard the words, and she looked at Chu Mohan in astonishment, as if she couldn't believe it: "Using living people to sacrifice?"

How could this not shock her, it was a fresh human life.Just for the sake of the patron saint who does not know whether it exists, such a life must be sacrificed.As an ancient person, she is a real modern soul in her core.She couldn't accept such a thing, it was a joke with human life.

Chu Mohan nodded. In the past, the sacrificial offerings in Xifeng Kingdom only used animals to sacrifice to the so-called patron saint.But this year, for some unknown reason, they chose to use living people as sacrifices.

"Has that person been chosen?"

Shen Wanyu's voice trembled a little, even though that life had nothing to do with her.But she is very kind as long as she doesn't provoke her.

"No, but it is estimated that it will be finalized in these two days. But it should be to choose one of the princesses as a sacrifice."

Hearing Chu Mohan's words, Shen Wanyu closed her eyes.She really didn't know the reason why Emperor Xifeng would sacrifice his daughter.

Presumably, all the noble princesses in the palace are worried.However, she saw that Xining didn't appear to be in any panic today, and she thought that the person who came here as a sacrifice would not fall on her.

"I didn't want to tell you at first, but I thought about it and you will see it then. It's better to tell you in advance, so that you are mentally prepared. If you don't like it, you don't want to participate that day."

Shen Wanyu lowered her eyes and rested her head in his arms.The voice was muffled, and he could hear that he was in a bad mood.

"Go to sleep, these things have nothing to do with us. As long as the one who is donated is not Xining."

Shen Wanyu twitched the corners of her mouth, evoking a mocking smile.This is not the modern age, and she cannot tolerate so much compassion.What's more, she is still pregnant now, and these things are not something she can worry about.

Chu Mohan lowered his head and kissed her forehead, and said softly, "Well, go to sleep."

Shen Wanyu hugged Chu Mohan's waist tightly, as if this could drive away the sudden coldness in her heart.

After a night without dreams, it was already noon the next day when Shen Wanyu woke up.She rubbed her eyes, and the people around her were already gone.She lifted the quilt and got out of bed, when she heard Shang Rui's voice from outside.

"Is your lady awake?"

Shang Rui came here at this hour on purpose, she wanted Shen Wanyu to rest more.

Qiuzhu glanced into the room, the prince had told her not to disturb Miss to rest in the morning.When she was in trouble, Shen Wanyu's hoarse voice came from the room.

"come in."
