Yes, after tonight, tomorrow will indeed be better!
Shu Jiaying smiled secretly in her heart. She was already looking forward to the night coming soon.
————
In the evening, all members of the royal family gathered on the bank of the Luo River not far from the palace.
They have already taken their positions according to the positions that have been assigned in advance.
However, there was no blood moon in the sky at this time as the high priest had said. On the contrary, the sky was dotted with stars, and a large, bright full moon hung high in the sky.
In such a beautiful scene, it is really hard to imagine that a living person will be thrown into the river soon.
Shu Jiaying followed Yu Chenfeng to the viewing seats in front of the stage, and was glad that her seat was not too obvious.
When the sacrificial ceremony officially began, Shu Jiaying watched the first few opening programs. She covered her stomach and said to Yu Chenfeng, "Achen, I suddenly feel a stomachache. I want to go to the toilet."
"Why does your stomach suddenly hurt? Are you okay? I'll go with you..."
Seeing Yu Chenfeng was about to stand up, Shu Jiaying hurriedly stopped him. She pointed to the sky which was gradually turning red. It seemed that the high priest was quite accurate in predicting the weather. If he were in modern times, he would definitely be an outstanding observatory staff member.
Shu Jiaying said, "No, your responsibilities are more important, and you did everything here yourself. If the emperor asks, others may not be able to answer. You should stay on the scene. If you are really worried, why don't you let Xiaoxue accompany me?"
With Xiaoxue by his side, Yu Chenfeng naturally felt much more at ease. He instructed Xiaoxue, "When you follow the princess, you must serve her carefully. If there is anything, come and tell me immediately."
"I understand."
Xiaoxue and the others left the table, helping Shu Jiaying.
Arriving at a makeshift toilet, Shu Jiaying said to Xiaoxue, "Just stand here and wait for me. I'm not used to having other people waiting by my side when I need to poop. It'll keep me from pooping."
Xiaoxue thought that it was just going to the toilet and it shouldn't be a big deal, so she obediently walked to the side and turned her back to the toilet.
Shu Jiaying secretly laughed at Xiaoxue for not coming towards her. She deliberately closed the door with a loud noise and left stealthily.
Xiaoxue thought Shu Jiaying slammed the door shut to go to the toilet, so she stayed quietly by the side and waited.
Xiaoxue didn't know that at this time Shu Jiaying had already run to a weedy area by the river.
Blending into the grass, the moon in the sky became even redder. Shu Jiaying glanced towards the stage and saw Shu Zhenmeng, who was wearing a bright red wedding dress, had been tied up and thrown onto the stage.
Shu Jiaying quickly pulled off a piece of wild grass that looked like a straw, then she dived into the river and swam quietly to the bottom of the river behind the stage.
From this position, Shu Jiaying could hear the high priest muttering.
After the high priest directed Shu Zhenmeng and the rooster to worship heaven and earth, he jumped off the stage using light skills.
The next second, Shu Jiaying felt the riverbed rolling, and suddenly she saw a dark shadow rushing towards her.
Shu Jiaying was startled. She was thinking to herself, "Oh my God, is there really a monster hiding in this river?"
Just as she thought of this, she saw the bloody mouth that was originally open to swallow her open after seeing Shu Zhenmeng in a red dress.
The figure temporarily let Shu Jiaying go, opened its mouth and swam quickly towards Shu Zhenmeng.
