Su Qianmian frowned and said, "The sacrifices are all from the royal family, and they must be men. Even the collateral family members are not allowed to go up to the altar. What are you going to do?"

"I'm just curious and want to go and see it for myself." Ye Xingchen made an excuse.

"If you don't tell the truth, I can't help you. After all, sacrifice is related to the blessings of the entire Cangyue Kingdom. If an accident happens, I will be a sinner of Cangyue Kingdom. I can't take this risk." Su Qianmian said solemnly.

Ye Xingchen looked around. She didn't say anything. Instead, she took Su Qianmian's hand and wrote three words on his palm.

Su Qianmian only felt his palms were soft and itchy, and his ears turned red instantly.

This was the first time someone wrote on his palm.

It was the first time that Su Qianmian was so close to Ye Xingchen. Looking at her delicate eyebrows, fair skin, and her long eyelashes, like two rows of fluttering small fans, so thick and dense that Su Qianmian's breathing tightened.

But when Ye Xingchen finished writing, Su Qianmian's face looked a little ugly.

"Did you go there because of him?" Su Qianmian asked.

Ye Xingchen nodded: "I don't want anything to happen to him."

Su Qianmian just felt a stuffy feeling in his chest, a little uncomfortable: "Do you care about him a lot?"

"I don't want the emperor to hurt him!" Ye Xingchen answered truthfully.

Su Qianmian's eyes turned cold: "This is not something you can interfere in. I'm sorry, I can't help you." After saying that, he turned and left.

Ye Xingchen was a little confused. Why did he get angry for no reason?

Since Su Qianmian didn't agree, who should I ask for help?

"Miss Ye, why don't we go to the Regent's Palace first." Ajiu suggested.

"good."

Regent's Palace.

Su Ruoan and Zhan Bai were helping Feng Yunmu prepare medicinal herbs. After each Regent King performed a sacrifice, he would lose too much blood and his health would be very poor. He would need a lot of blood-replenishing herbs and food.

Ye Xingchen rushed over and saw this scene, frowning slightly.

"Miss Ye, why are you here? The Regent is in the study. I'll take you there." Su Ruoan said in surprise.

"I came to see the Regent." Ye Xingchen replied.

"The Regent will definitely be happy to know you're coming." Su Ruoan quickly led the way.

In the study, Cang Boyi was reading intelligence. He heard Su Ruoan's voice and was very surprised to see that it was Ye Xingchen.

"Xingchen, why are you here?" Cang Boyi stood up immediately.

"I haven't seen you for a few days. I wonder how you are doing. I came to see you." Ye Xingchen replied.

Cang Boyi was naturally happy, it turned out that Xingchen was worried about him L: "Don't worry, everything is fine with me."

"That's good, you go ahead and do your thing." Ye Xingchen didn't want to disturb him.

"It's okay. It's a rare opportunity for you to come here. A new cook happened to come to the mansion yesterday. Su Ruoan will immediately let the cook make some delicious pastries." Cang Boyi ordered excitedly.

"Yes." Su Ruoan went to do it immediately.

Zhan Bai sensibly brought the tea and put it down: "Miss Ye, please have some tea."

"Thank you very much."

"Come and sit down." Cang Boyi called and personally poured tea for Ye Xingchen.

Ye Xingchen was not polite and took a sip: "It's really good."

"Is Nangong Wei causing you any trouble?" Cang Boyi asked with concern.

"No."

The two chatted idly, and soon Su Ruoan brought over some pastries, and Ye Xingchen ate several pieces.

Ye Xingchen did not mention the sacrifice, and Cang Boyi did not mention it until Ye Xingchen left the Regent's Palace.

Ye Xingchen knew that the Regent didn't want to make her worry. The more he did so, the more worried Ye Xingchen became. This time, she must help him.

As the sky got dark over here, Gu Beimo's body suddenly felt extremely cold and uncomfortable.

"Master, what's wrong with you? You look a little unhappy?" the servant asked with concern.

"I must have caught a cold during the day. I'll be fine after a rest." Gu Beimo didn't care and lay down to rest.

But in the middle of the night, he felt as if his whole body was in an ice cellar. He had never felt so cold to the bone.

Gu Beimo felt very uncomfortable that night. He finally made it to dawn, and the discomfort was relieved a little.

Gu Beimo, Su Qianmian and others were in charge of the sacrificial ceremony. Early in the morning, Gu Beimo went to the altar.

Su Qianmian looked at his pale face and frowned: "You don't look well, are you sick?"

"I caught a cold, it's okay, don't worry." Gu Beimo replied.

"Then you better be careful." Su Qianmian replied.

The sacrifice was of great importance, and Lu Shoubai also came. The three of them divided the work and focused on their own parts.

Gu Beimo was just assigned to the altar. Standing next to the high altar, Gu Beimo felt dizzy and could not stand steadily.

He quickly grabbed the shelf next to him and managed to keep himself steady.

"Master Gu, are you okay?" The subordinate working nearby asked subconsciously.

"I'm fine, you guys go ahead and do your work."

"yes."

Gu Beimo took a few deep breaths, and when he looked up, he seemed to see many people fighting on the altar, roaring constantly, blood flowing like a river, and many people falling from the platform.

Gu Beimo froze, his entire body trembling uncontrollably, and he stepped back subconsciously.

As a result, when he stepped back, he lost his balance and fell off the altar.

Su Qianmian, who was not far away, saw this scene and was frightened: "Gu Beimo!" and immediately ran over.

The others looked over, but it was too late to stop him. Lu Shoubai also ran over and wanted to catch him, but he was still a step too late.

With a loud bang, Gu Beimo fell to the ground.

Su Qianmian's face tensed: "Quick, someone go get the imperial physician!"

The others reacted and immediately went to find the imperial physician.

Lu Shoubai was so frightened that his face turned pale. He ran over subconsciously, squatted down and reached out to feel Gu Beimo's breath.

"What are you doing?" Su Qianmian snorted coldly.

"I was scared to death. I thought he fell to death. But he is still breathing. That's great." Lu Shoubai wiped the cold sweat from his face.

"Who was up there just now and what happened?" Su Qianmian asked immediately.

A subordinate came over and said, "Master Su, I was just upstairs and noticed that Master Gu didn't look well. I asked if he was feeling unwell. Master Gu said he was fine and asked me to go and do my work, so I left.

But when I turned around, I saw Master Gu falling down from above. He was the only one there just now, and no one pushed him."

"I saw it too. It is indeed only Lord Gu who is there."

"There was indeed no one else around when Lord Gu fell." Everyone spoke up.

Su Qianmian frowned, and suddenly Ye Xingchen's words yesterday flashed through her mind. At that time, she said that Gu Beimo would be unlucky, and it turned out to be true today.

Because sacrifice was a major event for Cangyue Kingdom, the emperor was afraid that something might happen to everyone, so he specially sent an imperial physician over, so the imperial physician arrived very quickly.

He immediately treated Gu Beimo, but after examining him for a long time, his face looked very solemn.

"Imperial Physician, how is Gu Beimo?"
