After knowing the truth, Shu Jiaying didn't seem to mind on the surface, but if she really had to watch Shu Zhenmeng die for her, she felt she couldn't do it.
She said she wanted to go back to the palace, but after saying goodbye to Old Man Shu and Mrs. Ke, Shu Jiaying insisted on returning to the palace.
At this time, in the main hall of the imperial palace, the high priest was using a long willow branch to dip water on Shu Zhenmeng, who had her hands and feet tied.
Shu Zhenmeng's mouth was stuffed with a cloth. She looked at everything in front of her with wide-open, terrified eyes. She didn't know what was waiting for her, and the only thing she could do was shake her head tremblingly.
“Mmm…Mmm.”
(Don’t…don’t come over here…)
The high priest ignored Shu Zhenmeng's pleas for mercy and treated the woman in front of him as an animal. After chanting a spell, he pointed a peach wood sword at Shu Zhenmeng.
“No!”
Shu Jiaying, who rushed to the hall, happened to see this scene. She thought the high priest was going to kill Shu Zhenmeng now.
Unable to accept the phenomenon of casual disregard for human life, Shu Jiaying did not even think about any consequences and subconsciously pushed the high priest away.
Perhaps the force was too great, and the high priest hit his forehead heavily on the pillar when he fell.
Suddenly, blood flowed all over the ground.
Yu Jianxuan didn't expect such a change to happen in a small ceremony. He was so angry that he asked the palace guards to capture Shu Jiaying.
"Bold Princess Chen, what are you doing? Are you trying to murder the High Priest?"
Seeing Shu Jiaying being tied up by the guards, Yu Chenfeng rushed in front of Shu Jiaying without thinking and kicked the guards who were rough with Shu Jiaying.
"This is my concubine. None of you can touch it."
"Royal brother...are you crazy? Didn't you see Princess Chen rushing in like a madman to hurt the high priest just now?"
crazy?
Shu Jiaying was still thinking about what to say to atone for her recklessness, but after Yu Jianxuan reminded her, she immediately laughed like a fool: "Hahahaha...you mortals, you actually used a fake to tease me, the great god. I tell you, if you want to use this woman as a sacrifice to me, I will definitely not get anything. In addition, I will kill everyone in your Luosuo country, not a single one will be spared!"
She twitched as if she had been electrocuted, and then Shu Jiaying's eyes rolled back. She calculated that Yu Chenfeng would run over to catch her, so she fell to the ground without restraint.
As expected, just as Shu Jiaying was about to land, Yu Chenfeng hugged her and shouted, "Someone is coming! Hurry up and call the imperial physician!"
Yu Jianxuan was also stunned by this sudden change. When he reacted, he followed Yu Chenfeng's tone and shouted, "Go to the imperial physician first, quickly."
With Yu Jianxuan's words, the palace guards hurried out of the hall, and soon after, four or five imperial doctors came running over at the same time.
The imperial doctors who came were divided into two groups, one group was to check Shu Jiaying's condition, and the other group was to treat the high priest's injuries.
After the imperial physician had bandaged the high priest, Shu Jiaying had not yet woken up.
The high priest was pushed down by Shu Jiaying for no reason. He was originally very angry, but after hearing what Shu Jiaying had just said, he sprinkled a handful of pomelo leaf water on Shu Jiaying's body.
At this moment, a "miracle" happened. Shu Jiaying opened her eyes and looked at everyone present with a confused look on her face.
