Forced marriage: ruffian king, I will not marry

Chapter 110 Blood Sacrifice Danger (2)
On the day of national mourning, Qianlong Imperial City was filled with a sad atmosphere. In the imperial palace, all the princes and generals were dressed in plain white clothes, and they knelt down to salute step by step in a solemn and solemn manner, and went to the high platform.

The wide high platform means that it is connected with the supremacy of God's will, and the most authoritative etiquette is used to express the mourning and admiration for the death of the king of a country.

At this time, the autumn wind was rustling, blowing the corners of the clothes of a group of women in the middle. These women were the deceased emperor Pei Zhengtian who had not given birth to heirs and concubines. The concubines are forced into such a situation, and the Concubine Lian, who Liu Xuewei is pretending to be, is in it.

After the crowd, Shangguanxi knelt together with Pei Le and the others. She was not worried about Liu Xuewei's imminent punishment of death and the golden cicada escaped her shell. She believed that Sheyun and Fengxi could handle it well.

A quarter of an hour later, amidst the weeping and crying in front of him, each figure slowly fell down, and then a eunuch dragged them down and placed them in the crystal coffin that had been prepared.

After about a stick of incense, the dozens of concubines in front were finally dealt with. Shangguan Xi and his party stood up and walked forward, saluting to the late emperor's spiritual throne in order. Right in front of them were all dressed in solemn clothes The ones standing were He Lanruo and He Lixin.

After the prince and princess worshiped, the ministers followed suit.Then, He Lixin, who was sitting on the top, said in a deep voice: "The late emperor passed away, and the Ai family was deeply saddened. I saw the late emperor in a dream last night, and felt that the late emperor had unfulfilled wishes. The Ai family was in a state of panic. Through today's national mourning, the Ai family is in charge, and the blood sacrifice is used to comfort the late emperor in the Dragon Soul of Heaven."

Blood sacrifice?Shangguan Xi didn't know very well, but felt that there was something wrong. After a few figures, she glanced in Pei Yu's direction, and Pei Yu looked back at her, with a faint light in his eyes, signaling her not to worry. .

But even so, Pei Yu still had some doubts in his heart. The blood sacrifice is the highest memory of the dead in the Qianlong Kingdom, but it is extremely exhausting to use blood sacrifices, so it is rarely used, even for the emperor of a country. Only those who have made outstanding contributions will use blood sacrifices to pay homage, and He Lixin used such a simple reason at this time, which is really unreasonable.

Although all the officials were as puzzled as Pei Yu, since the Empress Dowager gave the order so firmly, they could only obey. Everyone knelt down and shouted, "The Empress Dowager is wise!"

The blood sacrifice was to be carried out in the imperial mausoleum, and all the officials could only wait outside. The relatives, princes, and grandchildren of the emperor entered the imperial mausoleum to sacrifice the dragon soul with blood.

Inside the imperial mausoleum, Pei Zhengtian's body was placed in a golden coffin inlaid with water. A Buddhist master slowly circled around the coffin, sprinkling water and chanting sutras softly.No one dared to breathe easily, and the relatively spacious imperial tomb seemed very oppressive and quiet.Shangguanxi carefully observed the surrounding situation and the expressions of He Lixin and He Lanruo above, constantly guessing what the two people wanted to do.

A quarter of an hour later, the Buddhist master put down the things in his hands, and picked up a golden bowl filled with water. With his big palm, he turned a golden Buddha seal on Pei Zhengtian's forehead, and then stamped it on the golden bowl. On the water surface of the bowl, the Buddhist master saluted He Lixin, and after seeing her nodding, he handed the golden bowl to Prince Pei Qing who was at the front.

Pei Qing frowned and stretched out his arm, and the Buddhist master made another seal of Buddha on his hand, then the old eunuch stepped forward and cut a wound in the palm of his hand with a small sharp dagger. Then some blood flowed out and dripped into his golden bowl of Buddha water. The dark red blood slowly moistened in the water and merged with the golden Buddha seal. But after a while, the blood was gone, only the pale golden light was seen. The Buddhist seal of the Buddha is much brighter again.

The Buddhist master nodded, and then handed the golden bowl to the following Baiqian.

Shangguan Xi understood what blood sacrifice was, but she still couldn't figure out what could happen with such superficial etiquette, or was He Lixin's plan not about blood sacrifice?

At this time, the palace was very empty, She Yun and Feng Xi found an empty palace, and put Liu Xuewei on the bed.Looking at Liu Xuewei who still had her eyes closed tightly, Feng Xi was very anxious, "Sheyun, why hasn't Xuewei woke up yet?"

She Yun felt Liu Xuewei's pulse again, and comforted her with a smile, "Don't worry, she's fine, she'll wake up soon."

"Actually, her original intention was to just take poison and die like this."

The two were stunned for a moment, looking at Yan Qing who followed closely, Feng Xi rolled his eyes, and said coldly: "What do you mean?"

Yan Qing stared deeply at Liu Xuewei's perfect face after changing her face, and said: "Yesterday she secretly found poison without telling you, and she is going to take the poison to kill herself in the national funeral today. She still can't let Pei Zhengtian go. It's just that I found out that the medicine , was secretly replaced by me, she should blame me when she wakes up."

Feng Xi's eyes suddenly flinched, and he turned to look at Liu Xuewei, "You girl, why are you so stupid, luckily you are fine..."

"As long as you're still alive, you'll get better in the future." She Yun sighed from the side, "By the way, did Xi'er say when she would come to pick us up?"

Feng Xi paused for a moment, then frowned and said: "Just now when I went back to bring Xuewei out, I seemed to hear that the national mourning suddenly changed. He Lixin brought Xi'er and the others into the imperial tomb, and suddenly there was a blood sacrifice. , when the blood sacrifice is over, Xi'er should come."

"Blood sacrifice!" Yan Qing suddenly yelled in surprise, his eyes flickered complicatedly, and it took him a long time to startle again: "Why is there a sudden blood sacrifice! No blood sacrifice! Xi'er blood sacrifice must not be allowed! No!"

Feng Xi and She Yun looked at each other, both were surprised by Yan Qing's sudden violent behavior.

At this time, in the imperial mausoleum, one by one, it was finally Shangguan Xi's turn. In the imperial mausoleum illuminated by the night pearl, the light was still a little dim. Shangguan Xi looked at the golden bowl in front of him and clearly felt He Lixin Both He Lanruo's and He Lanruo's eyes fell on him at the same time, and there were some other emotions faintly.

She clearly thought about the reason, and the old eunuch beside him had slowly raised his dagger, about to slash at her palm.From the corner of her eyes, she saw that the corner of He Lanruo's mouth had cracked into a smile, and she suddenly threw her hand away, avoiding the old eunuch's dagger.

"Xi'er! Stop!"

Liu Xuewei's nervous screams suddenly sounded at this moment, and Shangguan Xi suddenly looked at Liu Xuewei who appeared suddenly, but he didn't want the Buddhist teacher standing beside her to suddenly turn his wrist lightly, and while Shangguan Xi was dazed, put the dagger on the ground. She swiped her palm fiercely, and immediately a few drops of blood spread from her hand and fell straight into the golden bowl.

At this time, the intruding Feng Xi and She Yun had already broken through the blocking soldiers, Liu Xuewei ran over like crazy, her pale face was still fake, but at this time she was expressionless, looking at Shangguan With the blood on Xi's hands and the blood in the golden bowl, there was only the most terrifying and appalling hole in her eyes.
