Chapter 34 Sacrificial Ceremony
The soldiers of the Shenji Camp did not sleep all night to clean up the mess for the Huguo Temple.
By morning, the thousands of bodies in the pit had been removed, but the search of the Huguo Temple was still ongoing.
The most urgent task is to hold the sacrificial ceremony as scheduled.
Something happened at the Huguo Temple and there was no monk to preside over it, so Emperor Jing of Wei issued an order overnight that the Ministry of Rites be responsible for it.
After Su Chenyu passed away last night, Emperor Jing of Wei dismissed the chief envoy of the Imperial Observatory without any doubt. Various civil officials were also implicated to varying degrees. When they appeared at the sacrificial ceremony, they all had a depressed aura about them.
Emperor Jing of Wei stood on the altar, looking at the ministers standing below, with dissatisfaction flashing in his eyes.
"Princess Fengyi has arrived."
Following the palace maid's voice, Su Chenyu slowly walked over.
"Your Majesty, your son, pays respect to you." Unlike the others who looked dejected, Su Chenyu was radiant and dazzling. Emperor Wei Jing could not help but nod his head: "Stand up."
Su Chenyu was standing right next to Su Ruian. When everyone was paying attention to Su Chenyu, they couldn't help but see Su Ruian next to her.
Some sharp-eyed people whispered to the people around them: "The dress Princess Rui'an is wearing seems to be embroidered with a red bird, right?"
"I didn't notice it just now, it looked like a phoenix, but now that I look closely, it doesn't seem to be the same."
More and more people noticed Su Ruian. Even Emperor Jing of Wei heard the whispers of the people below. His eyes fell on Su Ruian's dress and frowned slightly: "Ruian, you are not feeling well. You should rest first."
Su Ruian was caught in the rain last night and was frightened. Her lower abdomen began to hurt. She drank a bowl of abortion medicine and it got better. She should have had a good rest today, but she felt that if she didn't show up today, others would definitely laugh at her, so she forced herself to come here.
At this moment, after listening to what Emperor Jing of Wei said, Su Ruian felt more and more aggrieved. Could it be that he didn't even have the qualifications to participate in the sacrificial ceremony?
"Father, I feel very well and have no discomfort. I can attend the sacrificial ceremony."
Emperor Jing of Wei looked at Su Ruian so ungrateful that his face suddenly darkened. Anyway, everyone knew that the dress she was wearing was embroidered with a red bird. She had no shame, so he didn't need to consider her anymore: "So are you going to wear this dress embroidered with a red bird to participate in the sacrifice?"
Su Ruian looked down at the pattern on the dress, his face turned pale. How could it be Vermilion Bird?
"Are you dissatisfied with me for punishing the queen? You use the Vermilion Bird to mock me. You are a fake phoenix, then what am I?" Emperor Jing of Wei became furious. The daughter whom he had loved for so many years turned out to be such a fool.
Su Ruian was so stunned that she couldn't speak. She was completely numb. She couldn't utter a word. The blood in her body seemed to run cold. All she could see were the mocking looks from everyone.
Shouldn't Su Chenyu be the one being laughed at by everyone? Why did it become me?
In a trance, Su Ruian took two steps back. She didn't notice that there was a staircase behind her and rolled down directly from the staircase. She felt a stomachache and couldn't help but screaming, "My stomach hurts so much..."
Blood slowly seeped out from under her body, staining the area red, which was shocking to look at.
Emperor Jing of Wei knew that she had a miscarriage. As a princess of a country, she once again made a fool of herself in front of all the ministers: "Come here, take Princess Rui'an downstairs."
Immediately two maids came over and dragged her out of the room. Looking at the bloodstain on the ground, Emperor Jing of Wei's face became even gloomier.
