Chapter 265 Auspicious sign, this is her work!
Emperor Ming stood in front of the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests. On his left were court officials from the first to ninth ranks, and on his right were concubines, princes, grandchildren, and members of the royal family.
Several princes were arranged in order of age, with Prince Shu Beigong Shu and his wife at the front, followed closely by Prince Qi Beigong Xian and his wife. Since the third prince, Prince Wei, was a hostage in Dayan, he was not present, Beigong You and Lin Miaoyin were ranked directly behind Prince Qi and his wife.
It was Princess Zhang Xuan of Qi who set off the alarm in the medical system.
“Ding ding ding…”
Almost every time Zhang Xuan is seen, the medical system will sound an alarm to remind her. She has become accustomed to it.
Just as she was about to stop the alarm, she discovered that Zhang Xuan seemed to be more poisoned than before, and there was even a hint of...death.
Lin Miaoyin didn't intend to meddle in other people's business. After pressing the alarm, she concentrated on the sacrifice.
At this time, Emperor Ming had already taken the incense stick from the Minister of Rites.
"ah--"
Just as Emperor Ming was about to burn incense, Zhang Xuan suddenly howled, and her body began to shake violently as if she had Parkinson's disease.
But in the blink of an eye, she collapsed and lost consciousness.
Beigong Xian had no time to help her up. He watched her lose consciousness. He called out anxiously, "Princess!"
The noise was so loud that it directly alarmed Emperor Ming.
He raised his eyelids and looked behind him, suppressing the displeasure in his eyes and asked, "What's going on?"
The interruption of sacrifice is considered an ominous sign.
"Your Majesty, it seems that Princess Qi has fainted." Sun Changhai stepped forward to report.
"Fainted?" Emperor Ming frowned even more deeply, and then ordered, "Let Zhang Miaochun go and take a look."
Zhang Miaochun received the order and immediately trotted over.
After taking Zhang Xuan's pulse, his expression changed instantly, and even his fingertips began to tremble slightly.
"Master Zhang, how is the princess?" Beigong Xian asked worriedly.
"King Qi, please accept my condolences." Zhang Miaochun withdrew his hand from feeling the pulse, sighed and shook his head.
As soon as he finished speaking, Beigong Xian, who was lying on top of Zhang Xuan, staggered backwards. He widened his eyes in disbelief, "How, how is this possible?"
Everyone was shocked.
Even Lin Miaoyin was stunned. Zhang Xuan... was dead?
This is too sudden!
Although she didn't want to meddle in other people's business, she was still shocked to see Zhang Xuan dying straight in front of her.
A trace of guilt slowly welled up in my heart.
This is the guilt of being a doctor and not saving a dying person.
"What happened? Why did the Princess of Qi suddenly die? This is a bad omen!"
"Princess Qi could have died at any other time, but at this critical moment. She is cursing our Beiliang!"
"What should we do now? Should we continue the sacrifice?"
In just a moment, some members of the royal family began to talk about Zhang Xuan's body.
Everyone subconsciously looked towards Emperor Ming who was holding a stick of incense.
Without waiting for Emperor Ming to speak, Beigong Xian, who was shrouded in sorrow, immediately turned around and hurriedly called the guards to carry Zhang Xuan's body out.
Naturally, he didn't dare let Zhang Xuan influence the sacrifice.
He couldn't bear such consequences.
As soon as Emperor Ming raised his eyelids, the official in charge of eulogizing immediately started singing the hymn again.
"Burning firewood to welcome the emperor..."
The Minister of Rites then handed over a new incense stick to replace the one in Emperor Ming's hand.
After burning incense, Emperor Ming led everyone to pay respects in front of the ancestral tablets one by one, "May our ancestors bless our Northern Liang!"
"May the gods of heaven and emperor protect Beiliang!" All civil and military officials and royal family members knelt down.
Everyone looked pious and solemn.
After three prostrations, Gaozu, who was in the center of the queue, suddenly fell onto the altar, revealing a pair of silver-white curved scissors.
Everyone was shocked.
Especially the Minister of Rites and the Vice Minister of Rites, their faces were ashen.
They looked at the scissors that appeared out of nowhere in horror, and a feeling of suffocation suddenly surged in their throats.
It’s over, their Ministry of Rites is finished!
The appearance of a weapon like scissors is extremely disrespectful!
Emperor Ming's face also changed when he saw this scene, but compared to the anxiety of the people in the Ministry of Rites, he was much calmer, and his deep eyes revealed unfathomable contemplation.
He recognized this thing.
This pair of curved scissors is called an aortic clamp, also known as a pug clamp. He had seen it when he was a child.
This is a surgical instrument used in liver transplantation surgery.
He had long forgotten everything else, but because of the unique name of Pug, he still remembers it now.
How did this thing get here?
He glanced behind him calmly with the corner of his eyes.
Does this matter have anything to do with the fourth son’s wife?
Looking at the entire Beiliang, she is probably the only one who can come up with this thing.
But she had no reason to do so.
Even if she wanted to do so, she didn't have the ability to tamper with the sacrificial items.
Emperor Ming quickly rejected the idea in his mind.
Then, the only explanation is that the group of people from forty years ago have come back again!
Ever since he discovered something from another world at Lin Miaoyin's place, he became alert and began to send people to search secretly. Unexpectedly, he was still preempted by the people from another world.
The current situation is very unfavorable to them.
When he thought of that fierce battle, he couldn't help but tremble in his heart. He must not let the tragedy of forty years ago happen again!
At this moment, Emperor Ming exuded an aura of vigilance, as if facing a powerful enemy.
The person who was more nervous than Emperor Ming was Beigong You who was standing in the crowd.
The moment he saw the ranking fall, he was shocked at first, then incredulous. His heart instantly rose to his throat and he was extremely nervous.
Although he didn't see the person, he knew it was Mai Dong who knocked down the ranked player so quickly, accurately and ruthlessly that he knew it was Mai Dong who did it.
He subconsciously looked at the person beside him.
There was a slight surprise on that palm-sized face, as if he was completely unaware of the matter.
But he knew very well that this was her work!
No wonder she insisted on coming to offer sacrifices.
She hadn't consulted him at all, or even informed him.
Even Maidong helped her keep it a secret from her.
When he thought about how she trusted Maidong but completely ignored him, he couldn't help feeling sour in his heart.
After all that had happened, and he had hurt her so much, how could she dare to hope for anything more?
Beigong You curled the corners of his mouth in self-mockery.
He doesn't have the qualifications now.
But he was puzzled. What did she want to do by placing a pair of scissors on the ancestral throne?
Isn't this just seeking death!
When he thought of this, he felt breathless and quickly retracted his gaze to look at the bright yellow light in front of him.
In the whole Beiliang, only Lin Miaoyin can come up with something like this.
Will my father punish her?
Just as he was tormented and worried, wondering whether he should take the blame for Lin Miaoyin, a majestic voice came to his ears, "I recognize this pair of scissors. This is the scissors that Divine Doctor Gu left behind after he treated me. This is a good omen! God bless our Beiliang!"
"It's a good omen, a good omen!"
"God bless Beiliang! God bless Beiliang!"
A few quick-thinking ministers immediately followed Emperor Ming's lead.
Just now, before the incense was burned, the Princess of Qi died suddenly, which interrupted the sacrificial ceremony. It was a very bad omen.
Now, after burning incense, a pair of miracle scissors appeared behind the ancestral seats, which instantly broke the bad luck just now. Just like them in Beiliang, after all the hardships, there is happiness. This is a good sign!
Lin Miaoyin's mouth twitched.
She asked Maidong to place the pug clamp for her in order to lure out Gu Luoxi, but she never expected that she would also ruin the plan of Zhang Xuan's sudden death interrupting the sacrifice.
