"I see? That woman still has some conscience."
"What?"
Xiaoxue wasn't sure what Aunt Zhao was addressing Shu Jiaying, so she asked again, "Aunt Zhao...what did you say just now?"
What Zhao Ma Ma hated most was people asking her questions to the point of being inquisitive. She would shake her hands impatiently.
"Put the scented tea down. When you get back, thank Princess Chen for me. I need to hurry up and make a limited edition box for her skincare products. Please don't bother me."
Xiaoxue had lived in the palace since she was a child, so she naturally understood Zhao Ma's personality. She knew that what Zhao Ma said was not directed at her, so she bowed to Zhao Ma.
"Then Xiaoxue will take her leave first. Aunt Zhao...you shouldn't work too hard."
This sentence was said by Xiaoxue on behalf of Shu Jiaying.
"Alright, alright, you go down first."
Aunt Zhao didn't appreciate it and she kicked Xiaoxue out of her house.
Similarly, Xiaoxue did not leave immediately, because under Shu Jiaying's instructions, she had been secretly watching from outside the window as Zhao Mama drank flower tea, dozed off, and finally went to bed after she could no longer bear the tiredness.
Xiaoxue then took out the sandalwood from her body and lit it for Madam Zhao.
After completing the task, Xiaoxue finally returned to Shu Jiaying's yard with peace of mind.

Capital. High Priest's House
Yu Chenfeng and Yu Jianxuan came to the high priest's house together. Without asking the servants in the high priest's house to pass on the message, they went straight to the high priest's observatory.
The high priest's observatory was built in the middle of his garden. There were lawns everywhere and no plants blocking the view, so the high priest could see the celestial phenomena very clearly.
As if he had anticipated the arrival of Yu Chenfeng and Yu Jianxuan, the high priest squatting on the ground observing the monitor did not turn around. He said to the people behind him: "Your humble servant greets the emperor and Prince Chen!"
Yu Jianxuan did not blame the high priest for his rudeness. He walked up to the high priest and asked, "High Priest, what is the situation now? Are you sure the blood moon night will be in seven days?"
"According to the indications on my surveying equipment, there will indeed be a blood moon night seven days from now. However, you see, my vibrometer is constantly rolling. I'm worried that Luosuo Country will be in danger of landslides and earthquakes. The source of this danger is our Luosuo Country's moat - the Luo River. Therefore, the sacrifices to the river god will continue as usual!"
"I understand. I have already made all the preparations. Now I am just waiting for your final date, High Priest."
The high priest simply nodded, but his expression was still very serious.
Yu Chenfeng saw that the high priest's eyes were fixed on a large mountain next to the Luo River, and the river section at the bottom of the mountain was always emitting white smoke. He asked, "High Priest, this section of the Luo River has been surging. It looks like the river water is boiling. What's going on?"
The high priest couldn't explain why for a moment. He answered honestly, "I added this to the model later because when I was observing the Luo River in person, I saw this situation at this location. The water in this section of the river is extremely hot, so this area is full of dead fish."
This was not a man-made incident, but the river water was actually boiled. This was really unbelievable. The more strange phenomena there were in the Luo River, the greater the disaster they would encounter in the future, and Yu Chenfeng knew that he sincerely hoped that everyone could survive this disaster safely.
