Less than three days after his return, the news of the dam collapse at the exit of the mainland Ze spread all over Chaoge. There was no water in the Dune Palace, and the King naturally returned to Lutai. Everything was calm again.

I took it as if it had nothing to do with me, and went to my classes as usual, busy every day. On this day, I had just finished the full-day course, and Xiaoqian came to me.

She wore a short-sleeved and short-skirted bodysuit, which was the most common style in the entire academy right now. And I still have long sleeves and high forks on my body. I wear it like this in Yamato, and the climate here is nowhere near as hot as Yamato.

Xiao Qian's brows were tightened, in fact, she had been sullen for the past few days. I finally couldn't help but ask, "Xiaoqian, what happened?" What happened to you? ”

She looked up at me, "There's a class I really don't want to take...... Can you go up for me? ”

I laughed, "What class?" Let's see if I can arrange it. ”

"It's a smart class in the district." She said.

Decay district? Isn't that the Academy's confinement zone? How can there still be classes there?

"In the district? Who are the lessons for? I asked.

Xiao Qian replied, "Princess Yuluo and her twelve maids. They have been imprisoned in the academy's quarters since last May. ”

Hey, I've been back for so long, and I've forgotten all about the beautiful Princess Yuluo.

"Yes!" I said, "But why don't you want to go?" ”

"Because ......," she said slowly, "have you heard that human sacrifice will be used for this year's ritual?" When the first kings were there, they all used Qiang captives as sacrifices. And this year, Dongyi captives will be used, including six nobles and seventy-two retinues. Princess Yuluo and her twelve maids will be sent to the altar. ”

"Huh?!" I was taken aback.

The next day, I followed Xiaoqian to the heavily guarded area. Listen to Xiaoqian's lesson to the twelve maids.

Walking into the classroom, I couldn't help but suspect that I was in the wrong place. Although the twelve maids had no weapons on their bodies, they wore only white bandeau tops around their upper bodies and white crotch cloths on their lower bodies. I can't help but think of the outfit I wore when I was a spiritual slave in Fuso.

I secretly asked Xiaoqian, why are they all wearing so little? Xiaoqian replied: "It is said that it is to prevent them from escaping, so they are not allowed to wear more clothes." ”

Why does this sound so bizarre? "Who decided this?" I asked.

"I don't know!"

Xiao Qian taught them that their movements were not complicated, probably to maintain their shapes and figures. However, the twelve girls were very lazy and did not work hard.

Xiao Qian also felt a little bored, and soon announced her rest.

The girls were too little to sit on the floor or against the wall, so they huddled on the only blanket in the middle of the classroom.

I walked over. The girls were polite and stood up.

"Why don't you take it seriously? It's not that hard! And it's good for staying in shape. ”

The girls looked at each other. The last girl said, "What's the use of staying in shape?" Anyway, I'm going to be killed in a few days. What is the use of maintaining a good-looking body shape? Do you want to keep it for the executioner? ”

I'm speechless. It turns out that they know everything.

Princess Yuluo does not attend classes with the maids. So I went to the back to find Princess Yuluo.

Princess Yuluo was sitting behind the table at the moment, looking at the bamboo slips in her hand. Her long hair hung down her shoulders, and her face was still as beautiful as a fairy. And after two years of development, the figure is more convex and concave.

She wore slightly more than her maids, a white bodice with sleeves and a crotch cloth to cover her shame.

I shouted, "Princess Yuluo! ”

She looked up and saw me, "Sister Nezha?" ”

"It's me!"

She smiled at me and didn't say much.

I sat down across from her and picked up the bamboo slip on the table. "What are you researching?"

"I'm running out of time anyway. It's always good to learn more! She said lightly.

I laughed, "Are you still optimistic?" ”

She also smiled, "If my sister hadn't stopped her two years ago, my little sister would have died." It's just that," said a faint sadness on her face, "I'm so selfish that even the twelve maids who have affected me will be killed with me." If I hadn't insisted on taking them with me, they wouldn't have died at this point. ”

I said, "If you hadn't taken them with you, most of them would have died." You know, most of the Dongyi captives at that time, especially women and children, died on the way to the court. ”

"That's different." With tears in her eyes, "Even if one of them is alive, it is still alive." And now it's all going to die. ”

On this day, I went back to my dorm room, tossing and turning, and couldn't sleep.

The next day, I brought a cyan gym suit to Yuluo. She looked left and right, and couldn't put it down.

"Let's put it on now!" I said, "Then let's practice the art of movement together." ”

She changed into a bodysuit, and between her gestures, she immediately highlighted her feminine figure. I accompanied her to practice each magic weapon once. In fact, with her level, she can already rank among the teachers of the college.

During the break, we sat down. Yuluo touched the smooth sleeves of the body suit and said, "I just don't know if I can wear it on the day of torture." ”

"Why did you remember to say this again?"

She didn't look at me and went on talking to herself. "I guess so! Originally, it was said that our six princes and princesses would all be punished by culling......"

"What?" I was shocked, "Culling the punishment?" ”

Yuluo said indifferently: "It is to cut the flesh and remove the bones, and pick the heart and liver as a tribute." That would have been stripped naked. Later, however, the king was so gracious that only one prince was punished. We just use our heads to set up the offering table. ”

When she says this, she doesn't say it like she's talking about herself, but like she's talking about someone who has nothing to do with it.

Back in the dormitory, I finally understood Xiaoqian's feelings. After only two days, I realized that I couldn't hold on anymore.

I always felt like I had to do something. So the next day, I went to Biyun Boy to inquire about Princess Yuluo and how she had been chosen as a sacrifice for human sacrifice.

"There was no Princess Yuluo in the human sacrifice list." Biyun said, "Last year, Teacher Shi Ji always wanted to get Princess Yuluo to the academy. When Yuluo turned around, the teacher wanted to intercede with the king through Queen Suji for a while to restore Yuluo's freedom. ”

"But at the beginning of this year, something happened that changed everything completely. Lord Lei Kai, perhaps out of good intentions, or perhaps because of the relationship between Fang Lei's clan and the same clan, actually proposed to the king to include Princess Yuluo in the palace. ”

The king had seen Princess Yuluo and coveted her beauty, so he verbally agreed at that time. But it was immediately opposed by the harem and the ministers. ”

"Who's against it?" I asked.

He smiled: "Senior sister, you can use your brain to think about it." First of all, Queen Suji will object. She didn't want to add a force to the palace that didn't belong to her. So Lord Fei Zhong is also against it. Mrs. Huang Ying also objected, she didn't want another woman surnamed Jiang from Dongyi to compete with her for favor. Then Lord Huang Feihu is also opposed. ”

"Jizi, Weizi, and your grandfather, Lord Bigan, are also opposed, because the battle between Su Ji, Huang Huan, and Kui Jiang a few years ago has caused trouble inside and outside the court."

Youhou and Chonghou also objected. They think that Fang Yi has destroyed the country, and Princess Yuluo has become a slave, how can they climb the dragon and attach the phoenix. Wen Zhong and Master Zuyi were also opposed. They believe that the daughter of the lost country is hidden in the palace, and over time, disaster will come. Anyway, except for Lord Lei Kai, who is also surnamed Jiang, there is almost no one who does not object. ”

My head grew big when I heard what I said. "So many people are against it, then the king will not marry. But why did he have to put her to death? ”

Of course, the king was reluctant to put her to death. However, it was not the king who drew up the list of human sacrifices, but Prince Taishi Jizi, who was in charge of divination and sacrifices. In order to completely cut off the king's thoughts, Jizi increased the original list of 36 human sacrifices to 78, and insisted on including Princess Yuluo and her maids. ”

I was even more surprised, and I couldn't help but be a little skeptical. "This is, Prince Miko decided?" Keiko is one of the "three benevolences"!

"I've heard that's the case anyway." Biyun Boy said. Obviously, he is also hearsay, and cannot be counted.
