Chapter 1958 [Shangxie] Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony
Work resumed two days later.
Shen Pianpian walked into the camera and became a different person the moment she opened her eyes, with cold eyes and a serious expression.
In the blink of an eye, she had completely transformed into the otherworldly, cool and powerful Xia Fuyi.
At this time, Xia Fuyi had just seen the leader of the Tianji Sect, who had transformed into the Regent King Chiwei, riding his horse through the streets of Shenjing.
"A grand ceremony... of offering sacrifices to the heavens?"

【Shangxie】
With only a few days left before the grand ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven, Xia Fuyi finally decided to go there in person to see it.
In fact, she has never been curious, but when she thought about the Tianji Sect's pursuit of Li Chi, she couldn't help but want to do everything she could to get closer to the truth.
Maybe I can get some information about Li Chi through the sect leader's background?
Xia Fuyi thought so while covering herself with a veil and cloak. After making sure that she couldn't even confirm the gender of the person, she finally went up to Huawai Mountain.
This mountain, which is usually closed to ordinary people, is now crowded with people. Even though Xia Fuyi has amazing internal strength, he had to use great efforts to barely climb up to the stone platform closest to the imperial mausoleum.
She looked around and listened to the noisy discussions calmly.
"I don't know if I can see His Majesty today. It seems like several years ago that I last saw His Majesty return victorious from Gumo."
"I think it's difficult. Your Majesty hasn't attended the Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony for two years. Every year, only the Regent presides over it alone."
"The Emperor is in poor health, so there's nothing we can do about it."
"That's puzzling. If I remember correctly, the Emperor isn't even twenty yet, is he? He's barely past his teenage years, so how could he be so frail? He can only attend court once a month."
"It's the same even with the Regent here, right? I don't think anything has changed in Chiwei over the years, so it doesn't matter who's in charge."
Several people holding different opinions were about to start arguing, but were hurriedly stopped by others.
There was no more news to hear, so Xia Fuyi silently withdrew her gaze and stared blankly at the road that was said to be reserved for the royal family.
Time passed amid the increasing noise of the people, until around noon, when a slight commotion finally came from below.
However, the commotion lasted only a moment, and in the blink of an eye it spread into endless silence.
The people around Xia Fuyi all kept their mouths shut, stretched their necks with a little excitement, and looked towards that road.
While everyone was quietly but hurriedly pushing forward, Xia Fuyi took a step back silently.
A group of people wearing black clothes and wearing brocade ribbons were walking slowly down the mountain, and behind them was a chestnut horse with bright fur.
The man on the horse was dressed in the same gorgeous clothes as when I first met him. The corners of his robe fluttered in the March wind. When his eyes swept over the crowd coldly and casually, they were even more casual and unrestrained than the wind.
Some girls screamed in a reserved yet excited manner.
Xia Fuyi lowered her eyes and involuntarily let the veil cover herself more securely.
Just as the horse clattered past, a second group of people came up.
She slowly raised her head and saw a wide and gorgeous sedan chair.
The gauze curtains on all sides were able to let in air, barely covering the face of the person in the sedan chair, revealing a piece of robe with a golden dragon print, and a pair of black boots underneath.
"It's His Majesty! His Majesty has really come out!"
Someone nearby lowered his voice and shouted excitedly.
Xia Fuyi looked at the sedan chair passing by with a bit of curiosity.
Through a layer of veil, she watched the gauze curtain being blown up by the wind, and the figure of the person in the sedan chair flashed faintly in it.
