Chapter 418: The Reason for Conniving at the Sacrifice
"By the way, Shu'er, what do you think about your marriage to the king of Zhenbei? Want to marry him? Luo Ying asked.
Bai Jiushu shook her head lightly, "I don't want to marry." ”
She's already married.
Her goal now is to retrieve the Lishui Mirror Fragment and return to the Divine Phoenix Country, where her husband and children are there.
She won't stay in this world for long.
It's just that there is a Zong Xuanyu in this world, and she is not very happy when she thinks of leaving him in this world to marry a wife and have children.
"It's good if you don't want to marry, my mother doesn't want you to marry the king of Zhenbei, in troubled times, politics are not clear, my mother would rather you marry an ordinary person and spend a peaceful time, rather than get involved in the rights and wrongs of the royal family and the court." Luo Ying said.
"Mother, don't be in a hurry to think about marriage, I want to ask, do you know what kind of person the queen is?"
Luo Ying's face was slightly condensed, and her expression became serious, "Why would you ask the queen?" ”
"I've heard some things about the Queen, so I want to know what kind of person the Queen is."
Luo Ying glanced at Nie Qin and was silent.
Bai Jiushu frowned, "Can't you say it?" Still don't know what to say? ”
Luo Ying shook her head, "There are some things that you still don't want to know, my mother hopes that you will live in peace, and it will not be good for you to know too much." ”
"But I want to know, I want to know what kind of person the queen is, and I want to know what kind of relationship the Nie family has with the queen? I want to know how much the Nie family knows about the sacrifice on June 18 in Jinghuo Lake, and what role does it play? ”
Luo Ying didn't expect Bai Jiushu to ask such a question, and to be able to ask such a thing, it was obvious that she knew something, "Shu'er, who told you about the sacrifice of Mirror Fire Lake?" What did you say? ”
"It doesn't matter who told me, my mother just needs to know, about the Mirror Fire Lake, my daughter shouldn't know what she shouldn't know, and now she just wants to know more." Bai Jiushu said.
Luo Ying's expression was complicated, "Knowing too much really won't do you any good." ”
"Mother, the queen is the queen of demons, and every year in the sacrifice of Jinghuo Lake, the baby girls who are just three months old must be used, and those baby girls are used as living sacrifices, right?" Bai Jiushu lowered her voice and asked.
"Shhhh Stop! Luo Ying was nervous and cautious, "Everything you know, it's all rotten in your stomach." ”
Bai Jiushu glanced at Nie Qin, and then at Luo Ying, "It seems that my father and mother both know the truth." ”
Luo Ying was silent for a long time, sighed deeply, and lowered her voice, "Your father and I do know something, your grandfather has the intention to let your father enter the court as an official, and he deliberately let us know."
I didn't see that cruel scene with my own eyes, but your father came back to tell me.
Your father and I have limited power, and even your grandfather can't control it, let alone oppose the emperor and queen.
All we can do is pretend to be deaf and dumb, act as if nothing happened, and live our lives in peace.
This kind of thinking is very selfish, but we have no choice, if we don't do our best to get in the way of others, we will only lose our lives in vain, after all, the other party is not something we can provoke.
Because he knew those cruel and dirty things, your father was even more reluctant to enter the court as an official.
Because of this, your grandfather was dissatisfied, from the beginning of the high hopes for our second room, to later give up the second room, ignoring me and your father's love.
The people in this whole mansion are not very friendly to me and your father, and we don't care, we just want to live in peace.
Several times, your father and I wanted to move out, but your grandfather and grandmother wouldn't agree.
They said that we can't let outsiders think that our Nie family is not harmonious and make people laugh, so we can only live in Nie Mansion.
Shu'er, neither my mother nor your father are such cruel people, although we know the truth, we are not involved, you should not have a bad opinion of your mother and your father because of this. ”
"No, you are different from the rest of the Nie family, and it is the most stupid behavior to stop yourself and lose your life in the end." Bai Jiushu said softly.
The daughter didn't blame, Luo Ying was a little relieved, and sighed, "My mother is a mother, how can I bear it?" There's just no way, there's really no way.
When the prime minister of the dynasty, there are several officials in power, including the emperor and queen, who are involved, and you and I can't do anything with me. ”
"Mother, how can the emperor allow that kind of thing that loses his conscience? How can it be recognized? ”
Luo Ying's expression was complicated, attached to Bai Jiushu's ears, and said in a voice that only two people could hear, "Today's emperor is nearly fifty years old, and he looks about the same as thirty years old.
and Empress Dowager Nie, who is also your grandfather's sister, is almost seventy years old, and she has been getting younger and younger in recent years, and she looks like she is about fifty, and she is very evil. ”
Luo Ying grew up in the Divine Phoenix Kingdom, the Luo family is a family of spells, for some mysterious and mysterious things, although she feels weird and evil, but relatively less surprised.
Bai Jiushu's heart sank greatly, human aging is an inevitable experience, no one can escape, grow against the sky, live younger and younger, to the greatest extent, it is to cultivate evil skills.
The newborn baby's vitality is the most vigorous, and the demon queen must use the child's cultivation of evil skills to absorb the baby's young vitality.
People are afraid of death, and the emperor and the queen mother must have received benefits from the demon queen, so they were tempted to become greedy, wanting to stay young forever, wanting to live forever, and then conniving at the demon queen step by step, helping the evil queen to do evil. ”
With the backing of the emperor and the queen mother, the demon queen dared to be so rampant.
"Did Grandpa get younger?" Bai Jiushu asked.
Luo Ying shook her head, "That's not true, the benefit of the Nie family is power, one person is above ten thousand people."
Your grandfather is sixty-three years old, and he is declining, and he has also moved his mind, and in the past three years, he has taken the initiative to help the royal family find a ...... for sacrifice."
Luo Ying paused, not saying the word "baby girl".
"Ninety-nine will be used this year, and they must be within three months of birth, and although the capital and several nearby cities are large, it is not easy to find.
Mainly in recent years, there are always children missing, and they are all born between March and June, so many families count the days and try to get pregnant in spring and March, and give birth in autumn and winter.
Therefore, it is born from March to June...... Hard to find. ”
Think of the living life. Luo Ying couldn't bear it.
March to June of every year is the most difficult day.
Especially on June 18, I couldn't sleep all night.
Although he has not done evil, he knows the truth, his heart is never at ease, and his conscience is always condemned.
I can only eat fasting and pray for the Buddha, hoping that those babies who have lost their lives will be able to find a good family in the next life.
Bai Jiushu frowned, "Except for the missing children from March to June, are there any other months?" ”
