Chapter 75: Sacrifice

Gu Yun had neither a powerful minister nor a relative to assist him in the court, and the harem was not as powerful as Lin Lingshuang.

She has been fighting with Lin Lingshuang for two years, and the harem is not peaceful, and even Mo Nanfeng has no favor for her, Lin Lingshuang has a solid foundation, who else can she rely on? can only plan for his son and find a way out for himself.

Although Lin Lingshuang and King Yonghuai did not have a sacred heart, she did not ask for benefits, but pushed Mo Nanfeng's heart to Mo Feiye.

And the eldest grandson of the current emperor is getting the Sacred Heart, in order to eliminate dissidents, he has to attack Mo'er.

Concubine Gu was sad about this, it turned out that her will to stay in this imperial city was not so firm, as long as Mo'er remained in the imperial city, she could not leave.

Maybe Mo Feiye can avoid all the dangers of open and secret battles in the palace, but who knows that he can really protect Mo'er.

On the night of the cave room, Gu Yu was uneasy in her heart, because of Gu Yun, she really couldn't understand, there was too much melancholy in her heart that she couldn't let go, she was afraid that Gu Yun's tracing of rights would get deeper and deeper.

Mo Feiye walked slowly, poured the wine from the table and brought it to her.

"Auntie, after drinking this bar, you and I will be a real husband and wife in the future, no matter what the road ahead, this king will carry it with you."

Gu Fei said: "You must know that I married into this night of the palace of the dark king, not because I have any residual feelings for you, just like at the beginning, but I just want to protect my obsession." Now that I've been caught up in the royal family, this is fate! ”

Mo Feiye sighed lightly, and brought the wine glass to her again: "No matter what, I still drank this wine first, it means that the husband and wife are harmonious, life and death depend on each other, don't you ......?"

"I'm tired, if you're okay, please go back to the Dawn Hall to rest! Such a wedding is just a ceremony for you and me. ”

He slowly put down the wine glass, looked at the table in a daze for a long time, and finally left!

She was alone, and only after he left did she come to the edge of the table, unveiling her crown and drinking alone.

Three days later, the sacrificial ceremony began, wearing a purple peony raccoon flower skirt, two-color satin hole hibiscus shoes, cloud oblique bun jasper and phoenix hairpin, holding Mo'er's arm and slowly stepping out of the dormitory.

Mo Feiye was already standing outside the hall and waiting, her clear and handsome silhouette was matched with a deep purple tiger striped carp brocade robe, which matched her and Gu Fei's whole body.

He held his hand to greet him: "Auntie! ”

Gu Fei squatted in front of Mo'er and said softly: "Today's sacrificial ceremony, Mo'er can't run around for a while, otherwise my mother will be worried!" ”

Mo'er nodded obediently, slowly and steadily walked to Mo Feiye, pointed at Mo Feiye's milk and called her father in a milky voice. Then he turned his head to Gu Fei, saying that his father would protect him, and he didn't have to be afraid of anything.

Mo Feiye picked up Mo'er, gently pinched his little face, and stretched out his hand in front of Gu Concubine again: "Let's go together, you are the princess of the night after all, do you want others to see the clues?" ”

After being reminded by him, Gu Fei slowly put her hand on his palm and walked out of the palace at the same time.

From Kongwu Street to the altar, in front is the emperor and the descendants of the royal family, followed by civil and military officials, and then to the envoys and relatives of the emperor and the country, followed by ordinary people.

The royal family and clan relatives only went to both sides of the altar to kneel with the king to thank God for his blessings, and the royal descendants took the honor guard to go to the altar to worship the Suzaku stone statue.

The emperor handed over the honor guard to a prince, and the rest of the people accompanied the sacrificial record, kneeling three times and knocking nine times from a hundred stone steps to the Vermilion Bird stone statue.

The person who inherits the honor guard should be the prince most valued by the emperor, and among the princes of Mo Feiye's generation, only Mo Feiye, Mo Junyi, Mo Zili, and the little prince Mo Chengyu, who is just two years old.

Except for Mo Zili, who has never been involved in the struggle for power, the other three are all looking forward to taking over the honor guard and walking on the Vermilion Bird Terrace.

Mo Nanfeng picked up the guard of honor and slowly walked in front of several princes, and finally the guard of honor fell into the hands of Mo Feiye.

The ministers understood that the royal family also saw it clearly, and other people who coveted the throne knew it very well, and it was clear that Mo Nanfeng intended to choose Mo Feiye as the prince.

Mo Feiye held the guard of honor in both hands, and took his wife and son to the Vermilion Bird platform, and the mage counted the watermark of the Vermilion Bird between his eyebrows, in order to show the grace of heaven and protect the vicissitudes of the world and protect the country and the people.

It's just that when that drop of water touched Mo'er's forehead, Mo'er couldn't stop crying. No matter how much Gu Concubine coaxed, Mo Feiye asked softly, "What's wrong with Mo'er?" ”

Gu Fei shook her head, she didn't know why Mo'er was crying, she looked at the jade bottle containing pure water in the wizard's hand, she only felt that there was something wrong with this water, but she didn't know what was wrong with this water.

Suddenly, someone among the ministers shouted: "The emperor's eldest grandson is crying incessantly, it seems that a disaster is about to befall you!" The ministers have the courage to ask His Majesty to change the person who sacrifices to ensure that the wind and rain are smooth, and the country and the people are safe! ”

The people present instantly fell into silence, only Mo'er kept crying.

Gu Fei and Mo Feiye glanced at each other, and it seemed that someone really deliberately wanted to replace the sacrificial person.

Mo Nanfeng was also a king who was easily swayed, and the more he was like this, the more suspicious he was of someone who deliberately changed the people of the sacrifice. He pointed to the courtiers kneeling on the ground and said angrily: "Today is the sacrificial ceremony, and you have to talk nonsense. ”

"The emperor's eldest grandson, Suzaku Tai, was ordered to cry incessantly, it is a bad omen, please think twice, Your Majesty!" The minister bowed his head and begged for an end to the sacrifice.

"How can a child not cry? Under the scorching sun, the climate is hot, and the emperor's eldest grandson naturally can't stand the pain of this scorching heat, what kind of bad omen can it be to cry? I see that you have the intention to disturb the sacrifice, and I will not pursue you for the sake of your sincerity and heartfelt remembrance in the past. If you talk nonsense again, I will not be spared. ”

"Even if Your Majesty punishes the sins of the ministers, the ministers must ask Your Majesty to stop the sacrifice, so as not to be angry from the heavens and bring disaster to the people!"

After hearing this, Mo Feiye pointed to the two wizards on the Vermilion Bird Platform and asked, "You two are called divine masters, why do you tell me why the emperor's eldest grandson is crying?" ”

The two wizards glanced at each other, and after a long time did not dare to answer, Mo Nanfeng asked again, "I ask you, are you deaf?" If so, yes. ”

The wizard stammered with his hand and said, "Your Majesty, this ...... The crying of the emperor's eldest grandson is indeed related to the hot weather, but according to the order of the gods, the sacrifice is sacred and majestic, and the crying does have a bad omen. ”

After hearing the sorcerer's words, some courtiers in the audience asked for the sacrifice to stop, Mo Nanfeng glanced at everyone, and finally fell on Lin Lingshuang's body.

Lin Lingshuang immediately knelt down and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, the concubines are brave, or stop the sacrifice?" Since it is against the will of heaven, I should have gone with the sky, and I hope that Your Majesty will think twice before acting! ”

Mo Nanfeng said angrily: "Do you still don't know what you guys are thinking? Today's sacrifice continues, and no one can ask for help to stop it. ”
