Volume 1: The Human World: Phoenix Rising in Fire Chapter 168 Hidden Murder (1)
The Tianyao Continent is the era of the gods. All countries worship the gods, and the mountains, rivers, and all things in nature are gifts from the gods.
Therefore, whenever farming, harvesting, or hunting, people would first offer sacrifices to the heavens to show their respect for the Emperor of the Nine Heavens.
The grand ceremony of offering sacrifices to the heaven was held in the square at the center of the enclosure. A platform more than 500 meters high was built in the center , surrounded by seats for spectators.
Its scale is comparable to the Colosseum in Rome.
Hua Xi followed Mo Qingtian and sat down in the front seat, with people from the Prince of Pingnan's Palace next to them.
The King of Pingnan kept staring at Hua Xi. Hua Xi sneered in his heart, this old man is really a thief with a strong heart!
A moment later, the emperor came in with the princes in a grand procession, and all the ministers knelt down and shouted "Long live the emperor".
Hua Xi just half-crouched on the ground symbolically and raised his head curiously.
A bright yellow dragon robe flashed past his eyes, accompanied by the emperor's heroic laughter, and then the princes came.
The Crown Prince naturally followed closely beside the Emperor, followed by the others in order of age, with the seventh prince in the fourth row.
He was wearing a crescent-shaped white brocade robe, a jade belt around his waist, and a white jade crown on his head. His outstanding appearance made him stand out among the other princes, like a crane among chickens.
As if he knew Hua Xi's location, he raised his head and met her eyes. Then he nodded and smiled slightly.
Still as gentle as jade, without any sharpness, always so gentle and reserved.
Hua Xi also smiled at him.
"My dear ministers, please stand up." The emperor's loud voice rang out.
Everyone quickly thanked him and stood up.
The wind was strong in the enclosure, and the whistling wind blew the surrounding flags, making a loud noise.
The emperor looked up at the platform and said loudly, "Master, please begin!"
It was a 500-meter-high platform, and it was impossible to see clearly what was going on there. All I could see were the fluttering corners of clothes dancing in the strong wind.
The bonfire was lit on the high platform, pointing straight to the sky!
The sound of chanting came from far away and could not be heard clearly.
Hua Xi was also very curious about what the imperial teacher who never showed up looked like, but it seemed impossible to see him from here.
She didn't care much about the ceremony of offering sacrifice to the sky and looked around.
Princess Pingnan was not far away. At this moment, some noble lady lowered her head and whispered to Princess Pingnan.
Princess Pingnan's expression became more and more ugly. As she listened, she suddenly turned her gaze, and the look in her eyes seemed to kill him!
Hua Xi's heart trembled. A seventy-year-old old lady had such a ruthless look. It was obvious that she was a ruthless character!
Princess Pingnan naturally did not look at her, but looked at the happy and proud Aunt Shui and her daughter, as well as Mo Qingtian!
Hua Xi understood, it seemed that Aunt Luo's plan had begun.
It’s not easy to endure until now!
The noble lady was apparently on good terms with Princess Pingnan, and what she said convinced Princess Pingnan.
Princess Pingnan's aged body slowly began to rise and fall and tremble as she sat on her seat.
She had only one son in her life, Jiang Shijie, who was born when she was over 50 years old. She held him in her hands since he was a child for fear of dropping him, and held him in her mouth for fear of him melting.
In her opinion, no matter how ridiculous something her son did, it could be forgiven.
And she would never tolerate anyone hurting her son, even a little bit!
"Mom, the Imperial Master is really mysterious. I really want to meet him!"
Mo Qianyu had no idea that a disaster was about to happen and was still speaking happily.
"Don't worry, when you become the Crown Prince of Pingnan's consort, it will be easy to meet the Imperial Master. Be patient, my dear daughter." Aunt Shui was also very proud.
