What Shu Zhenmeng said was exactly what Yu Jianxuan was thinking. He was furious and said, "This is simply outrageous. Don't worry, young lady. If Zhuang Tianming really found a girl to fill the number out of selfish motives, I will definitely not let him go, and I will also give you justice.
You guys untie this girl first."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Shu Zhenmeng didn't expect that there would be a turning point in her life, but this turning point should be thanks to the Princess Chen just now.
After untying the ropes, Shu Zhenmeng stepped aside calmly.
After waiting for nearly half an hour, the palace guards came back to report, but the news Yu Jianxuan received was that the Zhuang Mansion was already deserted.
It seems that Zhuang Tianming had already anticipated that the emperor would see through Shu Zhenmeng's identity, so he made preparations for evacuation early.
"Asshole!"
Yu Jianxuan gritted his teeth in anger. At this moment, he really didn't know what to do, because tomorrow was the day to sacrifice to the river god. What if he really couldn't provide a human sacrifice and the river god became furious? Wouldn't the entire Luosuo country be in danger of devastation?
Yu Jianxuan absolutely did not want to see such a thing happen. He could investigate the matter of Zhuang Tianming and his family absconding later, but the sacrificial ceremony was imminent.
Yu Jianxuan asked the high priest, "What is the situation now? I think you have already seen it clearly. Without the priestess, what do you think should be done tomorrow?"
Hearing this, the high priest had an idea. He shifted his gaze to Shu Jiaying, and suddenly he knelt in front of Yu Chenfeng.
"Prince Chen, for the sake of the people of Luosuo, I, even if shameless, ask you to give up Prince Chen's wife and let her take General Zhuang's daughter's place in the sacrifice to the river god!"
Yu Chenfeng immediately cursed: "You are crazy, if you really want to use people to sacrifice to the river god, why don't you use yourself?"
The high priest knew his request was too ruthless. With tears in his eyes, he said, "If I were a woman, I would definitely sacrifice myself for the people of the world. But the Lord River God doesn't like me. Even if I throw myself into the Luo River, it will be of no use. But Princess Chen is different. She can communicate with the River God, so she is definitely the best candidate to devote herself to the River God."
“…”
Shu Jiaying didn't expect that she would be hurt by a stroke. She was thinking about how to refute it when an imperial physician stood up.
The imperial physician clasped his hands together and bowed to Yu Jianxuan, then said, "Your Majesty, I don't think it's appropriate for Princess Chen to dedicate herself to the River God at this time. After my preliminary diagnosis, Princess Chen is pregnant, two months pregnant."
"really?"
Yu Chenfeng immediately hugged Shu Jiaying excitedly in his arms.
The imperial physician nodded.
"This is absolutely true. Originally, I wanted to wait until this matter was over before reporting this to His Majesty privately. However, now that things have come to this, I have to say that Princess Chen is pregnant and has the protection of the fetus spirit. If we really give Princess Chen to the River God at this time, it would be a great disrespect to the fetus spirit. So, Your Majesty, please think twice!"
Using Shu Jiaying as a river sacrifice, Yu Jianxuan originally felt that the high priest must have been kicked in the head by a donkey when he said this.
After hearing what the imperial physician said, Yu Jianxuan agreed and said, "It is definitely impossible to use Princess Chen for the sacrifice. At this point, I only have two options. The first is to send someone to find General Zhuang's family as soon as possible. As long as Zhuang Yueru is found, the matter of the sacrifice can be resolved smoothly."
