Splendid Phoenix Journey: The Arrogant Princess

Chapter 533 Living Human Sacrifice 5
A beautiful and refined woman walked in from the entrance of the Xuanming Palace. She was dressed in a light blue palace dress, which looked old but gave off a clean and refreshing feeling.Her hair was simply pulled up in a bun, and there was only a hosta on her head.

If someone hadn't said that it was Princess Xijing, Shen Wanyu would have thought it was the lady of some minister's family.Even an unfavored princess shouldn't be like this.

Princess Xijing's eyes were too calm, and she didn't look like she was going to be sacrificed to someone who was about to be sacrificed.She walked steadily, as if the eyes around her had nothing to do with her.

"Xi Jing, why are you here? Didn't I say that you are not in good health, so you can just rest in your own bedroom?"

The emperor who sat at the top frowned almost imperceptibly.He couldn't love this daughter at all, and every time he saw her, he would think that he was designed by a humble court lady.For an emperor, that would be a fatal stain on his life and would be a shame.

"Xi Jing came here just to have a word with Father."

Xi Jing didn't seem to see the displeasure in the emperor's eyes, and there was no trace of fear in her eyes.

"You go back first, if you have anything to do, I will go to find you after the palace banquet is over. Then, you can tell me again."

The emperor was obviously a little impatient with her, he waved his hand and said to the eunuch beside him: "Xiao Lizi, send Princess Xijing back."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The eunuch standing beside the emperor immediately responded, and then quickly walked down to Princess Xijing's side and said, "Princess, please."

Shen Wanyu looked at the calm-looking Princess Xijing, and for some reason she felt a little more love.No matter how you look at it, she doesn't look like a proud princess. She and Xining are really two extreme contrasts.

Xining is the most favored princess in Xifeng Kingdom, but she is the least favored princess.I don't know if she will have any grudges towards Xining, but the little liking here will disappear immediately.

It can't be helped that her character is very defensive, Xining is already a friend recognized by her.If this Princess Xijing is not harmful to Xining, then she is someone who can be handed over.But if she has bad thoughts about Xining, then she will not tolerate it.

Seeing that Princess Xijing was unmoved, she raised her head and looked at the emperor coldly and said, "Father, my daughter is not afraid of death. It's just that if the father really uses living people to sacrifice, it will definitely arouse public resentment." It also terrified the people of Xifeng, and the evaluation of Emperor Yu would not be good."

There was a gasp in the hall, and Dakun's courtiers all looked at this princess who was not favored by the emperor in surprise.When they knew that they were going to use living people to sacrifice, they all felt very uncomfortable.It was a fresh human life, how could it just disappear like this.It's just that this is the emperor's decision, even if they have opinions, they dare not raise them.

This time the emperor sacrificed his most unfavored princess, so what about next time?Will they just make their daughter a princess and sacrifice it.As soon as this thought took root, it grew crazily in my heart.

Shen Wanyu saw that because of Princess Xijing's words, the hall immediately fell into a strange silence.The dignified expressions of the ministers, the gloomy face of the first emperor.She turned her eyes to the queen, and found that there was also a touch of worry and intolerance in her eyes.

She retracted her gaze and lowered her eyes.This Princess Xijing is not only courageous, but also her wisdom should not be underestimated.She was able to see it together so thoroughly. If a country chills the ministers and the people and makes them feel terrified, then the country is not far from extinction.

There is not a saying that water can carry a boat and capsize it.The relationship between the country and the people is like the relationship between the boat and the water.

"Presumptuous, this is the place where you can talk nonsense. Little Li, take Princess Xijing down for me."

A sound of fury came from above, and the emperor's eyes were gloomy and terrifying.It can be seen how angry he is at this moment, he has been the emperor for so many years.No one dared to talk to him like this, let alone a daughter he didn't like.

Xiao Lizi's body trembled, he had served the emperor for many years and he knew that the emperor was angry with me at this time.Although he didn't like the princess either, he still spoke out.

"Princess, the emperor is in a fit of anger. You should go back with the servant first, and wait until the emperor's anger subsides to discuss anything."

Princess Xijing just glanced at Xiao Lizi coldly, she knew that everyone in the palace didn't like her.Even the eunuchs and court ladies did not regard her as a princess.She raised the corners of her mouth mockingly, and when the emperor's anger dissipated, she had already been sacrificed.

"Your Majesty, if you insist on doing this, you will definitely regret it in the future."

Princess Xijing raised her head and calmly looked at the furious emperor, with a cold but obvious mockery on her lips.After finishing speaking, he ignored the thunderous emperor above, turned around and left the hall.

She has already said what she can say, since the emperor insists on doing so, then don't blame her.To survive, and to that goal.She must do something.

Xi Jing left with a blank expression, and when she walked to the entrance of the main hall, she felt a different look from the others.She turned her head to look, and just bumped into a pair of clear eyes with a smile.

That is a very beautiful and gorgeous woman, people can't take their eyes off.Her eyes were as bright as stars, with a hint of demagogic power.She almost fell into those eyes, she withdrew her mind and just smiled at the woman before leaving without nostalgia.

The corner of Shen Wanyu's mouth curled into a meaningful arc, looking at the slender figure that was gradually leaving.This Princess Xijing seemed to be a little bit interesting. The ruthlessness and determination were hidden under her calm eyes when she left just now.

It seems that she is unwilling to be this sacrifice, so she will definitely find someone else to replace her.A dangerous light flashed quietly in the dark eyes, this Princess Xijing still needs to send someone to keep an eye on her.

The originally good palace banquet ended early because of the appearance of Princess Xijing, and Shen Wanyu sat in the carriage prepared for the two by the Prince's Mansion.She leaned against Chu Mohan's arms, her eyelids were constantly fighting.

"Be tired, go to sleep. I'm here, I'll take you back."

Shen Wanyu rubbed against his arms, and said in a sleepy voice: "Well, please draw attention to this Princess Xijing. I'm afraid she will focus on Xining."

Chu Mohan was taken aback, and looked down at Shen Wanyu who was already asleep.Then he shook his head helplessly, this girl was still protecting her weaknesses.
