Chapter 60: Sacrifice to the Heavens
But that's the case. The queen is still scared. From that time on. He is always frightened day and night. Later, he also contracted a wind chill. This way. It's never better.
After.' The Commander of the Guards will no longer dare to take those high-risk routes with his team. He'd rather go far. Walk more. It is also necessary to ensure the safety of the whole team.
But the heavens are not beautiful. Finally the rain stopped. The weather became unusually dry again.
On a certain night. They encamped in the woods. I don't know what happened as a result. There was a fire in the woods. And the wind is very bad for them. The fire was terrifying. As long as they escape one step slower. The whole team will be engulfed in flames.
Every time I think of this.' The squire commander couldn't help but sweat coldly. No matter how hot the weather is. He couldn't help but shiver from his heart.
It's such a toss and a toss. The damage to the team in just a few days is really not undeniable.
And most importantly, the queen mother. The wind chill and fright are good. This time. He is even more seriously ill. Even the accompanying imperial physician began to sweat on his forehead.
Just arrived at the foot of Mount Tai. The local officials of Taishan are naturally very attentive to the reception.
The queen mother after a long journey of more than half a month. Finally got a good night's sleep.
In the middle of the night. The queen came to her senses.
The 'girl' of the personal palace sent her bird's nest. After she ate it. I just feel that the 'spirit' is much better.
"What about the Third Highness. Tell him to come in." The queen leaned back on the 'bed' couch. A faint command.
"Yes." The 'woman' of the intimate palace responded.
Soon. The Third Prince walked in. As soon as he came in. I saw the queen wake up.' Lu smiled and said, "Erchen has seen the queen mother. Look at the queen mother's temperament, she has always been in peace."
The queen shook her head: "Don't talk about this. Hongu just wants to know. How's going on over there with Mo Lianyi?" God knows. She has a hatred for that little slut in her heart. If it weren't for Mo Ripples. How could she be punished to come to Mount Tai to worship the sky. If it weren't for Mo Ripples. How could she be in so much danger on the road? Don't tell her it's all a coincidence. If there is no Mo Lianyi's handwriting behind this. She really didn't believe it.
One mention these. The third prince's eyes dimmed again: "Hey. Our people. Missed again. And. The first batch of 100 people was sent. There is no living mouth. Now. also lost Mo Lianyi. That little slut was broken to pieces. He divided his men into several ways. Several times our people thought they had tracked it. It turned out to be a no-brainer. Right now. No one knows where Mo Lianyi has gone."
The queen listened. The 'complexion' of the face that had improved was instantly 'gloomy' again.
"It's just a ripple of Mo. It's so hard to deal with. Could it be that she is a cat. There are nine lives that can't be realized."
The three princes listened. hurriedly comforted: "Don't worry. This Mo Lianyi's body does have some evil 'doors'. Maybe we underestimated her too much before. That's why it will be again and again. She has been exploited by her again and again. Now I want to deal with her again. Let's take a long-term view."
The queen listened. I couldn't help but carefully recall Mo Lianyi's words and deeds. And she escaped death in her own hands several times. Although said. She doesn't usually believe in ghosts and gods. But now I have to admit that there is indeed an indescribable mystery in that Mo Lianyi. And the last time she disappeared suddenly and inexplicably. Then he appeared in the dungeon.
It's all about everything. Except for the word demon. She couldn't think of any other words to describe it.
Come to think of it. The queen asked the third prince again, "That's according to you. What should I do now?"
The third prince thought for a while: "According to Erchen. What we finally want now is to complete the ritual of worshipping the heavens. Now the heavy rain has stopped. Flooding in the past. The queen mother sacrifices to the sky. Just to win a good name. The future is above all history. It can also win praise for the queen mother. As for Mo Ripples. The coming day is long. There's always a way to deal with her." He finished. The face was 'colored', and he looked at the queen with a serious and calm face. It seems to be waiting for the queen to try.
The queen listened. Quietly looked at the three princes.
These days. The third prince seems to be a lot calmer in life. This. Let the queen be a little happy. Anyway. The third prince is also the adopted son under her name. In the future, she will support this adopted son to ascend the throne. If the three princes have always been that ridiculous look like mud can't support the wall. She was a little disappointed. But if the third prince becomes too good in the future. That's what she doesn't want to see.
After all. All she wants is an obedient pawn. If only one day this chess piece had an idea of its own. Then it's time for her to get rid of the pawn.
I thought so in my heart. However, the queen's face was still half different, and she did not 'revea'. "Okay. Just do what you say. Remember. This time to worship the heavens. Don't make a mistake. Otherwise. Watch your skin carefully."
The third prince hurriedly responded: "Yes. Please rest assured. The sons will do it themselves."
Five days later.
these days. The queen has lived exceptionally peacefully. In such a calm retreat. She was also half cured.
But she always had a sense of foreboding in her mind. She couldn't tell why. But I always feel that it is too calm and smooth. It's like the calm before a storm.
But after checking all the people and things. Confirm there are no issues. Her insistence on 'sex' suppressed this ominous premonition.
On the day of the festival. The queen is dressed in an intricate and gorgeous auspicious dress. Surrounded by a group of Taoist priests. With a solemn expression, he walked up to the altar of Mount Tai.
All around there was solemn music.
She took every step with composure. Dignified. One line and one movement. The words of the mother and the world are vividly interpreted.
After the high priest had recited a long sacrificial word. The queen holds three sticks of incense. Walk towards the bronze tripod in the middle of the altar.
Just as she was about to get close to the bronze tripod. Suddenly, there was a rumbling all around. It's as if something is rubbing against the ground.
And then immediately after that. Among the palace 'women' eunuchs. I don't know who was the first to let out a scream.
"Ahh There's a snake."
The queen is interrupted. Her steps paused.
And then immediately after that. More screams rang out.
The queen's face was 'pale' and 'gloomy' and she turned her head. She did a thousand things. I thought that the festival was about to end smoothly. As a result, who would have thought that there would be a 'mess' at the last moment.
I didn't expect her to turn around. His eyes widened in astonishment.
This...... What's going on.
The altar of worship to heaven was originally high up. Boxy. But for now. This altar is crawling with all kinds of snakes, insects, rats and ants. Those black, green, and white snakes and all kinds of spiders and scorpions the size of a palm. They're starting to crawl towards her.
"Ahh The queen immediately screamed: "Someone. Escort. Escort."
Her shrill shouts fell. Ten guards appeared around her.
But what these people didn't expect was that. At the right time. There was a sound of fireworks blooming in the sky.
Crackling
Immediately followed. It's a puff of red-colored smoke.
It's as if it's attracted by the smoke. Followed by. A shrill eagle cry resounded through the sky.
And then there are flocks of crows. and countless birds of all kinds. The red smoke hides small particles of red color. The small particles fell on the perimeter of the altar and on the queens and the black-clad guards.
And then. The birds swooped down in the direction of the queen and the others as if they were crazy.
Of course. They target those small particles that are red 'colored'. But the queen they were likewise by these hundreds of birds. and the countless snakes, insects, rats and ants on the ground 'messed' up.
Now. Mo Lianyi and Blood Silk, who were hiding in the shadows, looked at the queen and they panicked. Embarrassed look. I couldn't help but hook the corner of my 'lip'.
Queen Mother. I hope you still wish I gave you this great gift.
The queen tried to kill her several times. If it weren't for the fact that she didn't have the strength to take the queen's life now. She had already slaughtered the queen. But although it can't be the queen's life. But she's not going to make her feel better.
Blood Silk is very curious. He has been by Mo Lianyi's side for a long time. But there is something magical about her. But he never found the answer. Looking at Mo Ripple with a pale face in front of him. He couldn't help but persuade: "Miss. If the cost of getting those 'medicines' is too great. Later. It's better not to use such means easily." He didn't know how Mo Lianyi got those strange 'medicines'. But he knows. Every time Mo Lianyi took out those 'medicines', her 'spirit' would not be very good. It's as if she's exchanging her own power.
Especially this time. He felt that her weakness was even more obvious.
Mo Lianyi also sighed on the side. Recently, her spiritual power consumption has been too great. This time, I took out too many spiritual 'medicines' from the space, if it wasn't for the queen. She couldn't afford to use so much spiritual power.
But in order not to worry about the blood silk. Still, she said, "I see. But it doesn't matter. I'll just go back and get some 'medicine' to make up for it. Let's go. Revenge is over. Let's find a 'medicine' shop and give me some 'medicine'."
Bloodsilk nodded to the side. Then he wrapped his arms around her slender waist. Take her with you. Leave the canopy where you are hiding.
After getting on the horse. The two of them traveled twenty miles at a gallop. Finally found a 'drug' shop.
"We don't go through the big gate. You take me directly to his storeroom. I'll take some 'medicine' and leave." Mo Lianyi's face was haggard and leaned on the shoulder of the blood silk.
Bloodsilk breathed the peculiar strand of her body. A fragrant fragrance that induces people to sink. I just felt a little swollen in my head for a while. But it's okay. He can also control.
"Okay." After speaking. He took her with him. Effortlessly, I infiltrated the warehouse of this 'medicine' shop.
There are all kinds of 'medicine' materials piled up here.
There are valuable centuries-old ginseng and cordyceps. But more. Or some common 'medicine' materials.
Mo Lianyi doesn't pick either. She said to Bloodsilk, "You go outside. Help me keep watch."
Blood Silk nodded, "Yes." After speaking. He put her down. Turn around and go out. Guarding for her.
Soon. He seemed to feel the familiar blue light light up again. He suppressed his curiosity. Didn't look back. Something. After all, it wasn't what he should know.
It's about a cup of tea. He heard her breath coming from behind him. Turn back. Then I saw that the 'spirit' was full of spirits. The refreshed Mo Ripple had re-emerged in front of him.
"Miss is fine." He looked at her. Face without a mask. It's a very ordinary face. But those eyes were extraordinarily bright. And hidden edge.
Mo Lianyi nodded: "Yes. Much better. Let's go. Let's go to Jiangnan by water. I don't know what happened to His Highness over there."
"Yes......" The corners of the 'lips' of the blood silk were inexplicably more bitter. Except for himself, though. No one can detect it.
Jiangnan Xuzhou.
The earth is scorched by the scorching sun. Life for the victims is not much better than before.
Although now the problem of food is temporarily solved. But after the great plague there will be a pestilence. That's just a few days. and more than a hundred died in the city. And every day people keep getting sick. Local doctors and royal physicians have done their best to curb the spread of the disease. But there is no way. This time the epidemic is menacing. And the infection is extremely 'sexual'. Almost all and patients have been lifted. None of them were spared.
Within the government office. His Royal Highness the King of Jin, who sits in Xuzhou, is neatly dressed. Be serious.
His ink-colored costume sets off his whole person tall and mysterious. There is an awe-inspiring momentum in the seriousness...
