Chapter 23: Phoenix Transforms into Vermilion Bird
Su Chenyu picked up the portrait that Nanny Xu had placed on the table and took a look at it. Her eyes instantly became sharp. How could it be this person?
However, there is always a silver lining.
"Mammy, the ghost doctor is now the only hope to cure Tu Yanqing." Su Chenyu stated this fact.
Aunt Xu frowned even deeper. Lian Shizhao was not a common man, and she didn't want Su Chenyu to marry him.
Now she had changed to a different person, and she was satisfied with Baili Yanqing's behavior. But there were more troubles, and the princess actually wanted to provoke the ghost doctor for him.
"Princess, the Ghost Doctor was wanted because he harmed the people of the city. He had no choice but to go to the Medicine King Valley. No one dared to enter and catch him. Not to mention that you can't get out of the Medicine King Valley, can you trust the Ghost Doctor?"
Su Chenyu knew what Aunt Xu was worried about, but the ghost doctor was not only related to Baili Yanqing, but also to the Li family.
Thinking of the past life when Lian Shizhao used the ghost doctor to persecute the Li family, Su Chenyu's eyes flashed with cruelty: "Mammy, I have made up my mind about this matter."
Before Aunt Xu could persuade her again, Su Chenyu had already stood up, walked to the window, pushed it open, and discovered that the sky outside had changed at some point.
The sky was covered with dark clouds, which made people feel depressed and there was a feeling of impending storm.
"Mammy, Yaowang Valley is far away in Xinzhou. Even if we really want to go, it's not now."
Hearing Su Chenyu say this, Aunt Xu breathed a sigh of relief: "Princess, the sacrificial ceremony is just around the corner. You must attend this time. Otherwise, who would know that there is a Princess Fengyi in Dayu?"
All members of the royal family had to attend the sacrificial ceremony, but since the death of Concubine Chen, Su Chenyu always happened to be sick and unable to attend every sacrificial ceremony.
In fact, she was not sick at all, it was just that the Queen didn't want her to show up.
"Mammy, I heard that the Huguo Temple is now run by Master Jiming?"
Huguo Temple is the place where sacrificial ceremonies are held.
The abbot of Huguo Temple was Master Chengkong, but he disappeared ten years ago, reportedly to be practicing Buddhism. The responsibility of managing Huguo Temple fell on Master Jiming.
Jiming is Chengkong's disciple. In the ten years that Chengkong has been absent, Jiming's reputation has gradually surpassed Chengkong.
"Princess, this Master Jiming is indeed amazing. It is said that he is very effective in predicting things, so he is highly respected by the people."
Su Chenyu remained silent. Everything was ready except for the east wind. It all depended on whether the queen and the prince could bring the east wind.
Suddenly, Su Chenyu's thoughts drifted away. This sacrificial ceremony was destined not to be peaceful.
The next few days were the most lively and busiest time in the capital. Princes from all over the country had to be entertained when they came to the capital, and sacrificial ceremonies had to be prepared. Emperor Jing of Wei was so busy that he had no time to visit the harem, and the empress herself was not having an easy time either.
Soon, it was the day of the sacrificial ceremony.
Aunt Xu got up early in the morning. She looked up at the sky. It had been cloudy for a while. It wasn't raining, but it wasn't clearing up either. It made people feel inexplicably depressed.
Thinking that today was a sacrificial ceremony, Nanny Xu quickened her pace. She walked into the inner hall and found that Su Chenyu had already stood up.
She was wearing a dark-colored middle-length dress and sitting in front of the dressing table, with a solemn look on her face.
"Princess, I will help you wash and change your clothes."
After Aunt Xu finished speaking, Ginkgo, Wutong and Yanyu came in holding things.
