Chapter 61: The Sacrificial Ceremony

Qin Mo came to a temple vigilantly and took out a bamboo tube from the back of the Buddha statue, which was her latest task.

The mission to assassinate Changsun Qi failed, and her partner died, if this mission failed, she wouldn't survive, no matter what, this time she must succeed!

Qin Mo returned to the underground secret room, opened the bamboo tube and took out the paper inside to take a look, and then quickly lit the paper with a candle.

There was a trace of worry on her face, but it was not for herself, Sister Qiang Yin had been missing for months, but she had no news at all, and she didn't know if she was dead or alive now.

But what chilled her was the attitude of the prince, she also knew a thing or two about the affairs between Sister Qiangyin and the prince, but Sister Qiangyin had been missing for so long, but the prince didn't say anything at all, just afraid that Sister Qiangyin was more than lucky.

If this mission is successful, she will definitely find out the whereabouts of Sister Qiangyin, whether she is dead or alive, she must have a clear message.

On the evening of August 14, Su Tang'an was taken to Ziwei Palace, and tomorrow the Mid-Autumn Festival sacrifice, as a heavenly maiden, she needs to appear with Gong You.

"Master!" Su Cheng'an changed his clothes and went to Gong You's room.

Gong You raised his eyes and glanced at her lightly, and asked, "Does it still fit?"

"Since it's tailor-made, how can it not fit?" Su Tang'an smiled slightly.

Zhang Haiyi nibbled on the apple and said: "It's really a person who relies on clothes, you wear this body, and you are really dyed with two points of immortal energy, which is a bit like us Ziwei Palace people." ”

Su Tang'an's white clothes are fluttering, and she really has a feeling of freedom and elegance, tomorrow is the first time she has appeared in front of the public as a disciple of Ziwei Palace, which can be regarded as acknowledging her identity as a "heavenly daughter".

"What do I need to do tomorrow?" asked Su Juan.

"You don't have to do anything, just follow as a teacher. Gong You said lightly.

Zhang Haiyi winked at her and said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, everything is with Senior Brother! Besides, even if something goes wrong, it doesn't matter, Senior Brother will protect you." You are the only female disciple in the younger generation of Ziwei Palace, and you are the face of Ziwei Palace, no matter what, Senior Brother will bear it for you. ”

He patted Gong You's shoulder playfully, and said: "Senior brother, this is the backer, you don't rely on nothing, remember, whether you are in trouble or in trouble in the future, you have to remember that your master and your uncle are behind you, and you don't have to carry them alone." ”

Su Tang'an lowered his eyes and smiled slightly: "I know, thank you." ”

Gong You thought for a while and said: "After tomorrow, you will come to Ziwei Palace every day to learn the art of deduction as a teacher, and you don't want to be proficient in learning as a teacher, don't be embarrassed in front of outsiders." ”

"Senior brother, the master also said that if you don't have talent, if you don't have perseverance, you won't have any attainments in deduction, and I don't see that Tangerine has no ambition in this area, so why force her and waste her time?"

"Do you think it's a waste of time to learn some of your own exercises?" asked Gong You coldly.

"I didn't say that. Zhang Haiyi smiled flatteringly, "Forget this method of deduction, what if you can deduce the life of others? Can it be changed? Besides, as long as you leak the heavenly secret, you will be punished by heaven! But if you learn Qimen Dunjia, the mechanism formation is good, if the senior aunt is here, you can also learn medicine and poison, but it is a pity that the senior aunt also disappeared after the master returned to the west, otherwise your cultivation in medical skills is more than this, senior brother." ”

"Senior Aunt?" Su Ju'an asked curiously, "There are still female disciples in Ziwei Palace?"

"It was a long time ago. Zhang Haiyi said, "My aunt is a strange woman, not interested in others, studying medical skills, free treatment and saving people, called a living bodhisattva by the people of the capital, and later traveled all over the world." Later, after the master had an accident, and the aunt came back to attend the funeral, she never showed up again, and I don't know where she is now?"

Su Cheng'an touched the jade pendant on her waist, and remembered that the doctor, she knew the master, could she be the senior aunt in Zhang Haiyi's mouth?

"Deduction, organs, formations, medical skills, martial arts, and even qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, anything you are interested in can be learned. Gong You said lightly, "Ziwei Palace can protect you, but people still have to rely on themselves after all." ”

"Got it, Master. Su Juan nodded and said, "After the Mid-Autumn Festival, I will come to Ziwei Palace, Ziwei Palace is my backer, but after all, I still need to be strong." ”

Li Changlong has cultivated her as a killer since she was a child, she is quite talented in assassination, but in terms of martial arts, she is also mainly based on sneak attacks, she is really hard-hitting, and she is not a first-class master, and her martial arts, for what she wants to do, can protect herself, and there is no other big role. And now she needs to adapt to the identity of the Celestial Maiden as soon as possible, make herself stronger, and try to use the benefits of her existing identity to pave the way for the future.

And Zheng Peilan is not an ordinary woman, she is proficient in poison, he will inevitably have to meet her in close proximity every day, he has to take precautions, and he has to make more preparations.

The next day, before dawn, Su Tang'an was woken up, and after a brief tidying up, he followed Gong You to the front altar.

The Mid-Autumn Festival sacrifice is not as solemn as the spring festival to pray for good weather and rain, and it is mainly to pray for reunion, so not all the officials are present, only a few high-ranking people and relatives of the emperor are there.

Standing on the white jade staircase of the ninety-nine eighty-one steps, looking at the crowd below, Su Ju'an glanced at Gong You beside him and asked, "Is this what it feels like to look down on the common people? No wonder so many people are desperate to pursue power." ”

"Everything is nothing but vanity. Gong You said lightly, "Everyone in the world has their own desires, greed, hatred, hatred, hatred, Buddhism, and all living beings are suffering, as long as there is desire, there is no escape from the sea of suffering." ”

"Master, can you see through the red dust?"

"If you are human, you have human nature, and there are flaws in human nature, because there are flaws, people are human beings, and if there are perfect people, you are afraid that they are not human beings. Gong You sighed slightly, "I'm just an ordinary person, in the red dust, how can I see through the truth of the red dust? But the reason why people are human is that people have their own bottom line, and if they can't even keep the bottom line because of their desires, they are not worthy of being human." ”

While speaking, I saw that Li Chengyu, the son of heaven, was wearing a dragon robe, straightened his back, and walked towards the altar step by step, followed by the crown prince Li Changlong and the queen.

Su Tang'an squinted her eyes slightly, watching the three of them gradually get closer, and a wave of anger burned in her heart, as if she was about to turn her five inner to ashes. The queen, the enemy who caused the Lin family to be destroyed is close at hand, but she can't do anything now except forbearance, she hates what the queen has done, and is even more angry that she is powerless now.

One is the mother of the country of the Great Zhou, the other is the future son of heaven, she is now just a Houmen concubine, she wants to be their enemy, she wants to pull them off the horse, she knows that the road ahead will be very difficult, but no matter whether the front is a mountain of swords or a sea of fire, she has to break through.

"Your Majesty, Niangniang, Your Highness!" Gong You saluted the three nobles, and then continued the sacrificial ceremony according to the process, Su Cheng'an followed behind him, and held his hand for him, keeping his eyes down, afraid that he would accidentally show the strong hatred in his eyes.

She glanced at the two princes and Gu Tingjun in the crowd below, if you want to ally with them, you must have your own capital, don't worry, slowly get everything back!

Of course, at the moment, my heart is not very calm and the queen, when I saw Su Cheng'an's face, I still froze, how can I imagine it so much with that woman?

This is the fifth lady of Qihou Mansion, Su Cheng'an, the current heavenly daughter, although she had heard of this person before, it was the first time she saw it today, and it gave her a lot of shock.

As for the rumor in the capital, she had also heard it, if it hadn't been proven that it was Qi Hou's biological flesh and blood, she would almost suspect that this Su Tang'an was the woman's child.

The queen didn't have half a wave on her face, she raised her eyes and glanced at Li Chengyu beside her, her eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a fierce coldness on the road.

I think Your Majesty should have seen this woman, I don't know what Your Majesty feels in his heart? It's been more than ten years, and he hasn't forgotten about that woman, if he has any other thoughts, and accepts Su Tang'an as a concubine, I'm afraid that a disaster will be born.

Su Tangan ...... Since he has such a face, there is no need to exist in this world.

Below the crowd, the second prince looked at the prince who participated in the sacrificial ceremony above, but there was jealousy and unwillingness in his eyes. The blade is out of the sheath, there is no reason to take it back, even if he stops now, he can be an idle prince with peace of mind, his father dies in the day, Li Changlong succeeds to the throne, he still has no good end, horizontal and vertical is death, and Li Changlong can't be too good before he dies.

His gaze swept over Gu Tingjun's face, although the situation in the court has now been biased towards Li Changlong, there are still several people who have not expressed their position, not to mention Ziwei Palace, and Huainan Wangfu is also neutral, but with the relationship between Changsun Qi and Gu Tingjun, it may not be impossible to pull Huainan Wangfu over.

And now his weakest point is that he does not have the support of the military, which is the most headache.

The leisurely county lord did not hide her disdain at all, she stared at Su Cheng'an's figure, the position should have been hers now, and sighed heavily, could it be that she really had no chance with Ziwei Palace? Why is it so difficult to enter Ziwei Palace? Why does Gongyou Zhenren look down on herself, how is she worse than Su Cheng'an?

Last time, she escaped on her birthday, and at the banquet in the evening, she must be good-looking!

"Hold on, I hear you grinding your teeth. Zheng Peilan said softly.

"What are you talking about!"

"I know what you're thinking. Zheng Peilan smiled leisurely, "Maybe I can help you!"

"How can I help?"
