Father Ye also rushed in: "Girl, what did you mean by that just now?"

"Fourth brother is destined to face a disaster, and that disaster is his romantic disaster, so dad and mom don't have to worry." Ye Xingchen explained.

"So, we don't need to redeem the person?" asked Ye's mother.

Ye Xingchen nodded: "That's right, not only do we not have to redeem the person, but Fourth Brother will also bring back money."

"This brat scared me to death. In that case, let's just wait for the fourth son to bring his daughter-in-law back." Father Ye breathed a sigh of relief.

"Since Xingchen said so, I won't worry anymore. Let's go and prepare the things for the Prayer Festival. We can't let the Wang family next door outdo us this year." Ye's mother agreed.

Ye Xingchen frowned: "What do you need to pray for the festival?"

"Yes, every year during the prayer festival, every household would make a pile of grain. The family that made the highest and most grain piles represented the greatest sincerity, and when blessings came, that family would receive more.

Last year, the Wang family next door clearly told me that they were building 50 floors. But I thought, we are neighbors, so we should just build the same thing. It would not be good to surpass them by building more floors.

As a result, this person with bad intentions actually did more and suppressed our Ye family. "This year, I have to be better than the Wang family and beat them." Ye's mother got angry when she mentioned what happened last year.

"My mother still believes this." Ye Xingchen joked.

In fact, she wanted to say that instead of doing anything else, you might as well worship yourself.

"Of course I believe it. I have to grow a tall tree this year so that our Ye family can enjoy great blessings." Ye's mother said solemnly.

"Then I wish my mother success."

“It’s a must.”

The two elders of the Ye family left, and Tang Feng came over and said, "Miss, every year during the prayer festival, the common people make stacks, but the royal family asks the regent to offer sacrifices."

Ye Xingchen's face tightened: "What's going on? The Regent never told me about this?"

Tang Feng explained: "The so-called blessing is that the royal family prays to the gods for blessings and grace on behalf of the entire Cang Yue Kingdom. In the past, sacrifices were performed by the emperor himself.

But three years ago, the emperor had the regent take over. Sacrificial rituals are complicated and involve many rituals. Most importantly, the sacrificer needs to use his own blood.

In the past, Miss was the Princess of Mo, so she naturally wouldn't pay attention to these things, but now Miss is very close to the Regent, so I will remind Miss whether she should make preparations in advance."

Ye Xingchen frowned and said, "The emperor has always wanted to get rid of the regent, and he just took his blood through sacrifice. This will make the regent's body even weaker. It's really vicious. Did the emperor pray for blessings?"

Tang Feng shook his head: "Never. Praying is just a formality. There has never been a miracle in Cang Yue Country."

"I understand. Thank you for reminding me." Ye Xingchen said gratefully.

"You're welcome, Miss."

Seeing that the young lady did not give any instructions, Tang Feng did not ask any more questions and went on with his own business.

Ye Xingchen immediately called Ajiu over: "Why didn't the Regent tell me about the Prayer Festival?"

Ajiu curled her lips: "In fact, the regent doesn't want Miss Ye to worry. He said he doesn't want the emperor to notice Miss Ye and hurt you."

"If that's the case, then he has been using his own blood as a sacrifice during the past three years of the God Prayer Festival?"

"Yes, the Regent loses too much blood after each sacrifice, so he needs to recuperate for a long time. The longest time was half a year before he recovered." Ajiu answered truthfully.

"Then can you tell me the process of the Regent King's sacrifice?" Ye Xingchen asked.

Ajiu started talking immediately and Ye Xingchen listened attentively.

I didn't expect the emperor to be so excessive. He didn't use his own blood for sacrifice, but used the regent's. The regent couldn't refuse this reason at all. He deserved to die.

It seemed that she had to do something for the Regent.

"Come on, follow me to see the Regent." Ye Xingchen said.

"yes."

On the street, Ye Xingchen was thinking about how to help the Regent escape this disaster. As a result, he looked up and accidentally saw three people sitting in the lobby of the teahouse next to him.

It turned out to be Su Qianmian, and the two people following him were Lu Shoubai and Gu Beimo.

Su Qianmian also saw Ye Xingchen and was a little surprised. She immediately came out and said, "Miss Ye, what a coincidence. Thank you for the talisman that you gave to your sister. I am very grateful."

"Mr. Su, you are too polite. Your sister is lively and cute. I like her very much." Ye Xingchen explained.

Lu Shoubai came out excitedly: "You, you are the one who raced with the Regent on the racecourse. You are definitely a heroine. I admire you deeply."

Ye Xingchen looked at Su Qianmian awkwardly, and Su Qianmian immediately explained: "He is my colleague Lu Shoubai. He came with me when I went to investigate the case that day."

"I see. Sir Lu, thank you for your praise."

"Miss Ye, this is not an exaggeration. You are really awesome. If it were me, I wouldn't dare to race with the Regent. There is no one else like him in the entire capital of Cangyue Kingdom. You are really amazing." Lu Shoubai said admiringly.

Gu Beimo on the side had a grim look on his face. He didn't expect to meet Ye Xingchen here.

Ye Xingchen looked up and saw the black air above Gu Beimo's head: "Mr. Gu will be in bad luck today. If you need anything, you can come to the Ye Mansion to find me. I will give you a discount."

Gu Beimo's face turned cold: "Miss Ye's way of speaking is really special, but this young master doesn't need it."

If it weren't for her, Weiwei wouldn't be angry with me and wouldn't even acknowledge me after returning from the racecourse, so Gu Beimo's attitude was very bad.

Su Qianmian frowned: "Miss Ye is indeed very powerful."

"Why, even you have been bribed by her? I won't beg her." Gu Beimo snorted coldly and walked away.

Lu Shoubai looked a little embarrassed: "Don't mind Miss Ye, he just has such a bad temper. Nangong Wei ignored him for several days, so he had no place to vent."

"No wonder. It's a pity that he likes Nangong Wei, but Nangong Wei doesn't like him. They are not destined to be together." Ye Xingchen sighed.

"Miss Ye, how did you know?" Lu Shoubai asked.

"Look at the face."

"You can also read faces, so could you please help me see if Miss Shen Er and I are destined to be together?" Lu Shoubai asked immediately.

Ye Xingchen raised his eyebrows: "Second Miss Shen?"

Is she the Second Miss Shen, whose fiancé I revealed to be in love with men at Baoen Temple?

Lu Shoubai smiled awkwardly: "Well, the marriage between the Shen family and the Zhao family was cancelled. My mother insisted that I try to get along with the Second Miss Shen. I don't like her willful and capricious personality at all."

"Don't worry, you two can't make it." Ye Xingchen replied.

"Really? That's great. I said she and I are not suitable. I have to go back and tell my mother. Su Qianmian, you have to handle the sacrificial matters on your own." Lu Shoubai suddenly felt relieved and left excitedly.

Ye Xingchen looked over and said, "Sacrifice?"

"Well, His Majesty ordered Lu Shoubai, Gu Beimo and I to be responsible for this year's sacrificial ceremonies." Su Qianmian explained.

Ye Xingchen came up with a plan: "Can I ask you for a favor? Can I go with you during the sacrifice?"
