The fifth prince said nonchalantly, "Second brother, you're overthinking it. Didn't the people below say that Father must have done it on purpose for us to see?"
The second prince still felt something was wrong. He wanted to do it for them to see, having sex with several women in one night. This was too exaggerated.
They were strong and healthy, and could not last so long, let alone their father who was not young anymore. When did his body become so good?
Seeing him so conflicted, the Fifth Prince suggested, "If you really want to know about your father's health, you can ask Zhang Yuanpan or that woman."
The Second Prince's eyes lit up, "You finally said something useful."
"Second brother, look at what you said. Every word you say is true and every sentence is the truth." The fifth prince said proudly.
The second prince ignored him and immediately sent someone to find Zhang Yuanpan.
Situations like these were playing out in all the princes' palaces. Everyone was speculating and watching, but one was secretly acting and quietly making plans.
The Third Prince's Mansion
"Your Highness, our people have been arranged for the sacrifice. The rest have entered Chang'an City in batches and are scattered throughout the city. On that day, they will gather around the altar." A tall and thin man said expressionlessly.
"Very good." Gu Hanyu nodded with satisfaction.
"What about the Royal Guards?"
They tried to contact the commander of the Royal Guards several times, but he refused to give in, which made it difficult for them to take action.
If they intervene, it is likely to affect the situation.
"Don't worry about that. Someone will take care of it."
"Can the other party really hold back the Royal Guards?" the subordinate asked worriedly.
Gu Hanyu said affirmatively, "Yes."
He believed she could do it.
Her ability was greater than he had imagined. Since she had the guts to make a promise, she would definitely do it.
Time flies, and it is late autumn in the blink of an eye.
In the autumn harvest season, the most grand annual sacrificial ceremony of the Southern Tang Kingdom is about to begin.
The Grand Sacrifice Ceremony was the most important day in the Southern Tang Dynasty. On this day, the Emperor and Empress would leave the palace to offer sacrifices, praying for good weather and good harvests in the coming year, all visible to the people below.
Every time there was a sacrifice, people from the counties and prefectures surrounding Chang'an City flocked to the city. Everyone wanted to catch a glimpse of the emperor's true face and share in his blessings.
Five days before the sacrifice, people began to pour into Chang'an City. These people were all living in remote counties and had come early in order to catch up.
Bei Yutang looked at the increasing number of people downstairs. Instead of feeling crowded or annoyed, she hoped that more and more people would come.
Only when countless people saw it with their own eyes and heard it with their own ears could the gift she prepared for Emperor Wenxuan be worthy of her.
"Mom." Xiao Zimo went upstairs with a lot of things in his hands.
Bei Lin, who followed behind him, was holding things of various sizes in his hands.
Bei Yutang looked at the two of them, one big and one small, sweating profusely. "Hurry up and sit down and rest for a while. Look at you two, your foreheads are covered with sweat."
Yutang gently wiped the sweat from Xiao Zimo's forehead with a handkerchief.
Beilin didn't care and just rolled up his sleeves to wipe the sweat off his head.
Ever since they met, Beilin treated Xiao Zimo as his own nephew. He would buy him any good things and spoil him to no end.
Bei Yutang tried to stop him several times, but he wouldn't listen. Finally, she was too lazy to say anything.
Yutang picked up the little Moer, and Feng Lihen picked up the handkerchief and began to wipe her hands.
Beilin looked at Feng Lihen and felt that he was too sweet to bear.
My brother-in-law is capable, resourceful, and dotes on my sister. He is a thousand times better than that damn Tang Jingyu.
