I wanted to smile, but the expression on my face was so forced that I couldn't.
Yes, from close-kin marriage to exchange marriage, how can this not be considered progress?
"Only her."
Chang Huaijin's voice pulled Lin Chunhuan out of his thoughts. He looked at Princess Lingyan and asked, "What did she do?"
"In order to prevent herself from being violated, she pushed her daughter out. As the child's mother, she voluntarily dedicated her daughter to the God of Yihe."
"Only in this way, as the goddess' mother, she can not only stop serving men, but also have a certain degree of power within the Yihe tribe." The veins on Chang Huaijin's forehead bulged, and he pulled up the somewhat dazed Lingyan Princess. "These are all your children who were born after ten months of pregnancy."
"How can you be so cruel!"
Lin Chunhuan swallowed silently, "Goddess, what does that mean?"
Chang Huaijin looked back at her, his throat rolling slightly, without explaining.
But Lin Chunhuan understood.
She had read the Yihe tribe's genealogy, which was placed in the most secluded corner of the library. It clearly recorded that the sacrificed girls had to offer their purity to the gods.
Lin Chunhuan, who was still young at that time, could not understand those two sentences, but the pictures in the book were deeply engraved in her mind.
My father said that the Yihe tribe has abolished this kind of sacrifice because such sacrifice requires the unforced consent of the girl's mother to continue.
The emperor said that it was foolish in the past, but now no mother would be willing to do this.
Those memories were covered with dust as time went by due to my father's words, but today, because of Chang Huaijin's words, the dust was shaken off.
Those images appeared in her mind again as clear as before.
"vomit……"
His stomach began to churn, and Lin Chunhuan covered his mouth and ran to the side, but he was unable to vomit.
She remembered!
There are no gods in the world. The emblem of the Yihe tribe is Pegasus. The symbol of their so-called God is nothing more than a horse.
Sacrifice the girl to the horse.
The female body cleansed by the gods will be enjoyed by all the tribesmen in turn until the Son of God is born.
"vomit……"
Every time he recalled something, Lin Chunhuan felt sick, and in the end he was vomiting acid continuously.
"Ah Huan, I asked Caiyun to call a doctor. You just hold on a little longer." Chang Huaijin hurriedly brought tea and kept patting Lin Chunhuan's thin back.
But the other party overturned the cup of tea and pointed his slender finger at Princess Lingyan, "Kill her."
"Kill her!"
"You can't kill her."
Seeing that Lin Chunhuan was about to collapse, Shen Yuming beside her suddenly said coldly, "She is the one sent by the court to Yihe for marriage, and she represents the court's sincerity."
"It was originally agreed that the royal lady should be sent, but the Qinghe County Lady died, and you escaped. Now only the Lingyan County Lady is left. Moreover, she volunteered to sacrifice her daughter. She is a noble goddess and mother. If you kill her, the Yihe tribe will riot."
While speaking, Shen Yuming had already shaken off the two people who were holding him and slowly stood up.
Although his hands and feet were tied, he still had the demeanor of a superior.
Shen Yuming's current appearance made Chang Huaijin frown uncomfortably, and he subconsciously stood in front of Lin Chunhuan. The atmosphere was a little tense for a moment.
Among all the people, only Lin Chunhuan pursed his lips calmly.
Those eyes were fixed on Shen Yuming, as if they wanted to see something from him.
No one else knows.
But she felt it.
The current Shen Yuming is nothing like the useless man who failed in his plan and escaped from Kyoto in a panic. The demeanor of a superior is exactly the same as in her dream.
In the end, the two men who became successful and second to none gradually overlapped.
The next moment, Shen Yuming confirmed her guess.
Shen Yuming's eyes fell over, and he looked at Lin Chunhuan with a teasing look in his eyes, "Fuan, is this your revenge on me?"
"You are my wife, and you can't see me loving and smiling, so you find a wild man to make me angry, and you even don't let go of the guards around you."
"I have to admit that you are a little smarter this time, but if these are the only tricks you have, then you are underestimating me."
Shen Yuming is simply overflowing with confidence.
Even Lin Chunhuan was a little puzzled. A scholar who couldn't lift his hands could not go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and gain military merit, nor could he be promoted to a civil official.
Why is this person so confident?
"Xiaoxiao, get up! I'm the Minister of Works of Sheng Kingdom, a second-rank official in the imperial court! They don't dare to do anything to me. If they let me return to Kyoto, the news that Lin Chunhuan is unfaithful and has an affair with another man after getting married will spread, and the emperor will no longer support her."
"When the time comes, I'll show my loyalty, and our lives will get smoother and smoother!"
Bai Xiaoxiao looked at Shen Yuming's face in a daze.
That look clearly said, are you crazy?
Not only Bai Xiaoxiao, but everyone else around looked at Shen Yuming as if he were a madman, and some people even couldn't help laughing out loud.
"This guy is sick, he actually said that our young lady is his wife, how can he be worthy!"
"That's right, the Emperor was merciful in not taking his life. He actually dared to fantasize about being the Minister of Works..."
The discussions around him made Shen Yuming realize something was amiss.
Lin Chunhuan also tasted something and shook his head and sneered.
It seems that Shen Yuming's situation is different from hers. Although she doesn't know what went wrong, the Shen Yuming now should be the one in her dream.
According to the time calculation, this was indeed the time when Shen Yuming became the Minister of Works in the dream.
However, the memory of Shen Yuming in front of him seemed to be the version in the dream, and he seemed to have no memory of reality at all.
It seems that in the dream she also successfully married Shen Yuming. He could clearly tell her about the goddess. It seems that the chaos between Princess Lingyan and the Yihe tribe had also happened.
It's just that she was devoted to the Shen family at that time and never knew about it.
Too lazy to pay attention to this man, after thinking it through, Lin Chunhuan didn't even bother to give him a look, "Don't pay attention to this person, lock him up first and deal with him later."
"The question now is what to do with this person."
"Chen Yuming is right. Princess Lingyan cannot die, but the way she looks now, I'm afraid she's almost dead." Chang Huaijin sighed, "It's just that I feel sorry for those three girls."
"To have a mother like this."
Lin Chunhuan was silent for a while before speaking, "Huai Jin, can we think of a way to rescue those girls?"
"I also hope to save them, but..." Chang Huaijin lowered his eyes, "There are no more alive."
