Splendid Phoenix Journey: The Arrogant Princess

Chapter 530 Living Human Sacrifice 2
Shang Rui and Chunlan Qiuzhu walked in together, and saw that Shen Wanyu had already dressed herself.

"Miss, you talk to the princess. Let's fetch water and wash you up."

After speaking, the two of them withdrew and left the room to them.After the two left, Shen Wanyu pulled Shang Rui to sit beside her.Frowning, he looked at her seriously.

"This year's sacrifice, you need to use living people, do you know?"

Shang Rui was taken aback when she heard Shen Wanyu's words, and then her face darkened.She pursed her lips, and sighed after a while.

"You don't know, it wasn't like this in the first place. It's just that the national teacher predicted that Xifeng will be in great trouble a few days ago, and a noble woman is needed as a sacrifice to the patron saint first."

As he spoke, Shang Rui's eyes were full of sarcasm, and the corners of his mouth curled into a mocking smile.Shen Wanyu understands her very well, because they are all souls from modern times.For such a thing, they all look down on it.

Even though they have traveled through time, they are still atheists.

"Hmph, only these pedantic people will believe such words. I see that the prince doesn't seem to like using living people as sacrifices, otherwise he wouldn't have told Mo Han."

She knew that the prince actually told Mo Han that he tried his best to stop this matter.

Shang Rui sighed, she turned her head to look out of the window and said, "You know, the prince is actually very good. He has always opposed this matter, but the emperor insisted on doing this. Now the emperor is old, Instead, he lost the wisdom of his youth. It may be that the older he is, the more he is afraid of accidents in Xifeng Kingdom, so he agreed to such a request."

Shen Wanyu frowned, she couldn't imagine how a person would die willingly.

"The candidate this time seems to be the third princess, Xi Jing. Her concubine mother was born as a beautiful court lady. So she has never been very popular with the emperor. I'm afraid she will be pushed out this time."

Shang Rui said faintly, she had only seen in novels and TV dramas how the palace was a place that cannibalize people without spit out bones.Now she is in it, and she deeply understands the ruthlessness of the royal family.

If she could, she really didn't want him to be the prince, but everything was just her extravagant wish.Marrying him now, she has already thrown away the so-called one-for-one couple.It is best for her to be able to suppress Yingying Yanyan in this yard.

As for the prince's love, naturally he cannot relax.It's just that she won't fall in love with him foolishly, because that will be a catastrophe for her.

"The royal family is like this. You have been here for a year. You should understand. Tell me. What are you going to do with the women in the prince's mansion?"

Not wanting to talk about such a heavy topic anymore, Shen Wanyu held Shang Rui's slightly cold hand and said.She spoke slowly, although she didn't see other women in the yard.But she didn't need to think about it, she knew that Shang Rui was definitely not the only woman in the prince.

"Don't worry, even if they compete for favor, they won't be able to find any tricks. I don't pay much attention to dealing with these ancient people. The prince is a long-term and nostalgic person. As long as I treat him well, he will not neglect me."

Shang Rui smiled slightly, lowered his head and patted his stomach: "Before the prince's son is born, he will not let other people have children."

Shen Wanyu looked at Shang Rui's faint smile, and suddenly felt a little sour in her heart.Her eye sockets turned slightly red, and she didn't know what was wrong.It's just that Shang Rui has changed a lot, and she is no longer as happy as she was in Dakun.

"Don't be like this. I'm willing to do this. Anyway, sooner or later, I have to marry someone. It's not very good to marry the prince. You see, when the emperor dies and the prince ascends the throne, I will be the most honorable woman in Xifeng Kingdom. Over the years , I also understand a lot of things, don’t you do as Romans do?”

Shang Rui turned to look at Shen Wanyu, with a faint smile still on the corner of her mouth.But the calmness and calmness of her whole body, as well as the noble elegance in her calmness, all told Shen Wanyu that she had changed.

"Yeah, we can't change this era, so we can only integrate into her. At the most suitable time, seek our own greatest benefits."

The corner of Shen Wanyu's mouth curled into a mocking smile, that's all she wanted.Protect the people you care about, and don't let them get hurt or hurt by others.

"Let's not talk about these things anymore. I'm here today to show you around. It's your first time in Xifeng, let me be your tour guide."

Shang Rui put these worries aside, when she saw Shen Wanyu, she wanted to live a carefree life in Dakun.Her temper also recovered a lot, and she looked at her with a smile.

"As a princess, can you run down the street like this?"

The corner of Shen Wanyu's mouth twitched, and she looked at Shang Rui in surprise.Shang Rui smiled at her, reached out and took her arm and blinked.

"I know you brought Yushui here, so why don't you let her go out in disguise for us. That way, no one will recognize her."

Shen Wanyu was a little hesitant, she thought for a while and said: "You know, I'm pregnant now. You can't use those things that make up your face, why don't you let Yu Shui make it up for you and I wear a veil."

Shang Rui nodded quickly, how could she forget about this matter.

"Then it's decided."

Shen Wanyu smiled helplessly, at this moment Qiuzhu and Chunlan walked in with pots in hand.After the two of them waited for Shen Wanyu to wash up, they brought up the food that had been on fire in the small kitchen.

After eating, Shen Wanyu called Yushui in.After giving Shang Rui a disguise, the three of them left the Prince's Mansion.

The four of them did not bring guards or make a carriage, but wandered the streets on foot.Looking at the bustling street that was similar to Da Kun's, Shen Wanyu looked at Shang Rui who turned into a handsome young man beside her.

"Where are we going?"

"Don't you want to go and see Xia Ju and Dongmei?"

Shen Wanyu was taken aback when she heard the words, and then her eyes lit up.She hadn't seen these two girls for a long time, and she nodded excitedly: "Come on, let's go and see them. But why didn't they serve you by your side?"

"I selected two people in the Mo Wan Tower, one who knows medicine and the other who knows martial arts. After entering the palace, of course the outside things will be taken care of by them. Since I came here, I have been training the two. people."

Shang Rui smiled slightly, and told Shen Wanyu about it without hesitation.Anyway, there is no secret between the two of them.

Shen Wanyu thought for a moment, and felt that she was right.After all, there is no need to worry about the loyalty of people in Mo Wan Building, and she doesn't want Xia Ju and Dong Mei to die of old age in the palace.

While talking, they stopped in front of a restaurant.Shen Wanyu raised her head and looked at the restaurant.

There is a gold-plated plaque on the gate of the restaurant, which says the number one building in the world.The corner of his mouth twitched slightly, the name was really straightforward.

A few people stepped in, and immediately the waiter stepped forward to serve enthusiastically.

"Several guests, are you dining downstairs or upstairs? The food in our restaurant has been praised by the current emperor Jinkou. I guarantee that you will want to come again after eating this time."

There was a rag on Xiao Er's shoulder, with a festive smile on his face.

Shang Rui took out a sign from his bosom, and the waiter's attitude changed immediately when he saw the sign.Turning sideways respectfully, he said, "Guys, please follow me. The shopkeeper is in the wing room on the second floor."

After speaking, he took a few people upstairs and came to the wing room at the southernmost corner of the second floor.He knocked on the door, then opened it and walked in with a few people.

Dongmei, who was looking at the account book, raised her head to look at the few people who walked in, her brows frowned.There was a feeling of power without anger, she spoke in a calm voice.

"Is there a problem?"

The waiter shook his body and said respectfully: "The shopkeeper, they hold the master's token in their hands."

Dongmei put down the ledger after hearing this, and then looked at the people standing behind Xiaoer.Her gaze stayed on the veiled woman behind him, the familiar eyes and figure.

Dongmei raised her hand tremblingly, and stood up abruptly.She waved Xiao Er back, and ran to the masked woman by herself.

"Is that you, Miss?"

Shen Wanyu's eyes turned red, she looked at Dongmei who looked excited.A slight smile slowly formed at the corner of his mouth, and he stretched out his hand to take off the veil on his face.

"Dongmei, I'm here to see you."

"Miss. Woohoo"

Dongmei whimpered and threw herself into her arms.Tears flowed down her eyes, and Dongmei's sobs could only be heard in the room for a long time.

"Okay, Dongmei, don't cry either. Your lady finally came to see you, and you can't make her cry. What's more, she's still pregnant, so you can't make her sad."

Dongmei heard a familiar voice and came out of Shen Wanyu's arms.Looking at the handsome young man beside him, he stared at her with wide eyes.

"Madam and concubine?"

Shang Rui chuckled, and cast a wink at Dongmei: "Isn't it your princess, well, let's all sit down quickly. By the way, where is Xia Ju?"

Shang Rui helped Shen Wanyu to sit down by the window, and asked in doubt.

"Xia Ju has entered Yu Jifang's branch here, and several branches also need to look at the account books." Dongmei poured tea for the two of them, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and said, "I'll ask someone Call her back."

Shen Wanyu nodded, Dongmei went out and asked someone to call Xia Ju back, and then returned to the room.

Shen Wanyu lazily leaned back on the chair, looking down from the window of the wing room.She narrowed her eyes suddenly, staring closely at the familiar figure and familiar face.

"What's wrong? What are you looking at?"

Shang Rui was very close to her, and she immediately noticed the strangeness in her.Following her gaze, she frowned curiously and said, "Meet someone you know?"

"Did you see that man? He is the young master of the Emperor Sect of the Southeast Region. He actually came to Xifeng Kingdom. I don't know if he has any purpose here."

Shang Rui was taken aback for a moment, and immediately looked closely at the handsome man.Unexpectedly, the young master of the Emperor's sect is also a handsome man.

A thought suddenly flashed in Shen Wanyu's mind, she turned to look at Shang Rui and asked.

"Is your national teacher a trustworthy person?"

Hearing her question, Shang Rui was taken aback.Then he shook his head and said, "I don't know too well, the national teacher rarely appears. Only when the sacrifices are about to be made, there will be a divination. But I heard that the national teacher is very cunning."

Shang Rui has never liked it very much, she thinks it is just an old magician.

"There must be something wrong with him appearing here. I always feel that this time the living sacrifice has nothing to do with him. You should pay more attention to some national teachers and him. I think you may get unexpected news."

Shen Wanyu looked away, took a sip of tea.Dongmei just froze for a moment, and then immediately retreated out to let people stare at the wing where some young masters of the imperial sect went.

After a while Xia Ju came back, her eyes were red when she saw Shen Wanyu.But she didn't cry, she walked quickly in front of Shen Wanyu and knelt down on the ground with a plop.

"Miss, you finally came to see us."

Shen Wanyu was startled, she immediately stood up and helped her up: "What are you sitting on, get up quickly."

Xia Ju let Shen Wanyu help herself up, and she held her hand tightly.I was so excited that I couldn't speak, and I kept crying and laughing while pressing my lips.

Shen Wanyu reached out to help her wipe away the tears on her cheeks, and said with a smile: "How old are you, how can you still cry like this. Be careful to be laughed at by others."

Xia Ju sniffed, trying not to cry anymore.

The corners of Shen Wanyu's mouth turned up slightly, she pulled Qiuzhu and Chunlan towards her and said, "It's been a long time since you four have seen each other, let's go and chat more."

Chunlan and Qiuzhu's eyes lit up when they heard the words, and they looked at Xiaju and Dongmei.The few of them grew up together since they were young, and their love is naturally no better than others.The four little sisters have been separated for so long, and soon went aside to have a private conversation.

Seeing the happy faces of the four, Shang Rui stretched out his hand and pushed Shen Wanyu and said with a smile: "You can rest assured on my side, there are also forces on Mo Wanlou's side. It's okay for Dongmei and Xia Ju to stay with me now." Yes, if you let the two of you return to your side, that's fine too."

After hearing Shang Rui's words, Shen Wanyu was really moved.Why are they all the people around her, now she doesn't have to worry about Shang Rui's side, and she can take care of them more when they return to her side.

"Well, you are right. Let them come back to me this time, but you have to find someone to take over your affairs."

"Don't worry about this, I have trained a lot of people and it's time to use them."

Shang Rui smiled slightly, she was not a simple person.Now that she is sitting in this position again, she can't do it if she doesn't want to participate in the battle for the reserve.She didn't want to die, so she had to support the prince to take over.

"No matter what difficulties you have, don't forget that I'm still there. You are also the master of Mowanlou, you have to remember that."

Shen Wanyu held Shang Rui's hand, with a gentle smile on the corner of her mouth.

Shang Rui's eyes flashed with emotion when she heard the words, she nodded.She will not be polite to her, because they are a family.

After returning from No. [-] Under Heaven, Dongmei and Xia Ju also returned to her side.The corners of Shen Wanyu's eyes and brows were full of smiles, which made Chu Mohan raise his brows in surprise when he saw her coming in.
