"Anyway, I don't approve of using living people."
After saying this, Yu Chenfeng left without waiting for Yu Jianxuan's reaction.
Back at the palace, Nanny Zhao saw Yu Chenfeng's stern face, so she quickly stepped forward and asked, "Young Prince, what's wrong with you? Did the Emperor make you angry in the palace?"
Yu Chenfeng already knew the true face of Zhao Mama. At this moment, he didn't even have the mood to perfunctorily deal with Zhao Mama. He said impatiently: "Go away, don't bother me!"
Nanny Zhao was stunned at first, but then she wisely made way.
Looking at Yu Chenfeng's lonely back, Madam Zhao laughed secretly in her heart: Haha...what's so great about it? Looking at your miserable appearance, you must have been very angry with the emperor. You deserve it. I wonder when you will be angry to death!
Turning around angrily, Madam Zhao returned to her room.
Yu Chenfeng walked into the room and saw Shu Jiaying sitting on the edge of the bed. He walked over to Shu Jiaying.
"Yingying, have you checked the ingredients of that decoction? Did Aunt Zhao really intend to poison you?"
Shu Jiaying nodded. She could sense that Yu Chenfeng was in a bad mood. She asked, "Did something unpleasant happen in the palace?"
"Nothing, I just have some differences of opinion with the emperor."
Shu Jiaying looked at Yu Chenfeng's expression. She knew that even if there were disagreements, the disagreement between Yu Chenfeng and the emperor might not be as simple as he said. She covered the back of Yu Chenfeng's hand with her hand.
"Can you tell me what's going on? I hope I can help you share some of your burdens."
"Yingying... Actually, these are just trivial matters, and..."
Seeing the determination in Shu Jiaying's eyes, Yu Chenfeng sighed.
"Okay, let me tell you, this is actually about the river sacrifice. Yingying, do you know about our Luosuo country's river sacrifice ceremony?"
Shu Jiaying didn’t know this before, but after asking Zhao Ma, she knew a little bit about it. She nodded to Yu Chenfeng.
"Um!"
Yu Chenfeng smiled bitterly.
"What you know should be one-sided. I don't think you have the opportunity to deeply understand the in-depth content of the River Sacrifice Ceremony. In fact, among the common people, many people are just like us royal family. They also hold small river sacrifice ceremonies outside, but they are limited to worshiping the river god. But we are different. We not only worship the river god, we also offer a girl born in a yin year and a yin month to the river god. Nineteen years ago, our high priest had already selected this girl.
However, my father valued talent. He felt that this girl had great medical skills and that only she could cure my heart disease. He couldn't bear to sacrifice her to the river god, so he turned a blind eye and let me let her go.
"Achen, the girl you are talking about is the female healer who treated you?"
"That's right. Tomorrow is the ceremony to worship the River God. I don't know how the Emperor found the daughter of the female healer. In fact, according to the high priest's calculations, the person who should be worshipped as the River God this time should be Zhuang Yueru, the daughter of the Protector of the Nation General Zhuang Tianming. However, the female healer owed the River God a title. Although she is dead, it would be more appropriate to use her daughter to fill the vacancy left last time."
"oh……"
Shu Jiaying finally understood what was going on. She thought that offering sacrifices to the river was fine, but using a living person to sacrifice to the gods was a huge problem. She then asked, "Are you arguing because you object to the emperor's actions?"
