He has never made such an intimate move in his daily life. Xiao Yunxiang was taken aback for a moment, and then he realized that Ying Ze was worried that something would happen seriously. Suppressing the strange feeling in his heart, he let Ying Ze lead her by the hand and walked towards the altar.

According to the ancestral system of Daqing, the ceremony of the national sacrifice is to first worship the sky in front of the imperial mausoleum, sacrifice the country with cattle and sheep, and all officials and emperors and queens offer gifts together. This is also the main part of the entire national sacrifice.

Afterwards, the emperor and empress enter the imperial mausoleum to worship their ancestors. The records of official historians in the palace who specially record the actions and deeds of emperors.

Naturally, not all emperors would do divination during national sacrifices, or if the results of divination were not good, they pretended not to do divination. There were also Sitian supervisors who, just to please the emperor, did divinations that were not good, according to unofficial history.

Anyway, in the official historical records, none of the previous dozen or so emperors of the Daqing Dynasty had a fortune teller.

During the sacrifice to the heavens, Xiao Yunxiang was always worried. After all, there were so many people at this time, it was the best time for thieves to sneak in and attack, and he was afraid that something would go wrong with the sacrificial ritual vessels and offerings, and spread an unlucky reputation. jeopardizes orthodoxy.

However, this set of sacrificial ceremonies came out without any surprises, except that due to hasty preparations, the sacrificial ceremony was not grand and only went through a brief process, but it was successfully completed.

After the ceremony, the emperor's mausoleum will be used to worship the ancestors, but there will be guards everywhere, and cronies will guard the entrances and exits. It is absolutely impossible for thieves to sneak in, so it is much safer than outside the imperial mausoleum.

The most likely part of the accident was over, Xiao Yunxiang's expression relaxed unconsciously, he turned his head to look at Ying Ze, and met the latter's gaze, seeing that the coldness in Ying Ze's eyes had also faded. Seeing lightly nodded to her.

Not to mention them, even the lower courtiers, who knew a little bit about the inside story, were somewhat unexpected at this time. After all, no matter who thought about it, someone tried their best to get them to bring the emperor to sacrifice, but they didn't do it. Could it be that something happened on the road and it was delayed?

There are also some who are not courageous enough, and a moment of brain fever contributed to this matter, but now they are relieved to see that nothing happened.

In any case, Ying Ze led Xiao Yunxiang into the imperial mausoleum under the watchful eyes of the officials, followed by Si Tianjian and Zhao Chuan, the commander of the forbidden army.

Zhao Chuan was single-handedly pulled out by Empress Dowager Xiao. Since his retirement, he has become Ying Ze's confidant and someone he can trust.

However, after entering the imperial mausoleum, Ying Ze not only did not let go of the big rock in his heart, but felt more uneasy in his heart. After the sacrifice, he found a reason to dismiss the prisoner, so he called Zhao Chuan and ordered:

"Gu originally thought that the ceremony of the national sacrifice was a Hongmen banquet set up by King Li for Gu. Now it seems that it may be a plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain. You should send people back to the capital as soon as possible, so that the capital will be strengthened to guard against chaos caused by King Li's party members. .”

Zhao Chuan surrendered and took the order:

"Yes, sir, let's do it now."

Ying Ze nodded, waved his hand slightly to signal him to leave, turned around and was about to say something to Xiao Yunxiang who was beside him, when suddenly Xiao Yunxiang's expression changed drastically, he looked behind him, jumped forward, and exclaimed:

"Be careful--"

It was too late and then soon, Ying Ze saw a flash of cold light in her eyes, instinctively embraced Xiao Yunxiang who was rushing forward to push him away, and used his strength to dodge to the side, stunned Xiao Yunxiang also They were dragged to the ground together, avoiding the vital points.

The long sword that pierced his back only passed through Xiao Yunxiang's left shoulder, but Ying Ze hadn't had time to catch his breath before the impenetrable sword light struck.

Ying Ze had no choice but to roll and dodge on the ground with Xiao Yunxiang in his arms. The originally luxurious and solemn dress became a burden at this time. Fortunately, he reacted in time, escaped the successive attacks, and fled all the way to the side of the altar , pulled out an ancestor saber enshrined on the altar, and blocked the stabbing long sword with his backhand.

There was such a big commotion, but there was no movement from the imperial guards outside the hall. Ying Ze raised his head, looked at the owner of the long sword, his eyes turned cold, and he said:

"I think I treat you well."

Zhao Chuan gripped the long sword tightly and forced towards Ying Ze with all his might. A trace of shame flashed across his face, but he was soon overwhelmed by another emotion:

"Your Majesty treats his ministers well, but Lord Lanxiang has a great favor for his ministers. I cannot refuse Lord Lanxiang's request. In the next life, I will return your majesty's kindness. Those who are arranged outside the palace are all my servants." My confidant, no matter how much your Majesty calls for help, no one will come, and if your Majesty can be arrested quickly, you may be able to suffer less."

"Blue Phase?"

Ying Ze's eyes darkened. When the late Emperor passed away and his eldest brother seized the throne with King Li, Lan Jingxuan was a big card in the hands of Empress Dowager Xiao. If it weren't for his ruthless plan, King Li might not have won the throne. A pair of legs disabled end.

He suspected that other people were the internal agents of King Li during the Qing Dynasty several times, but he never thought that his right-hand minister was also bribed by King Li, let alone that King Li would use all means to such an extent that he even killed his former enemy. Can be bought.

As for Zhao Chuan and Lan Jingxuan who were originally Empress Dowager Xiao, it is normal to have a relationship, but Lan Jingxuan actually has this ability to make his commander of the Imperial Army willingly work for him, which he did not expect .

Seeing his eyes flickering, Zhao Chuan sighed and persuaded:

"Your Majesty, because of your great use to me for many years, as long as you are willing... I swear, I will definitely protect the lives of the Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager."

Xiao Yunxiang, who hadn't recovered from the shock at the side, spat at him mercilessly when he heard the words:

"Fuck, Baogu Grandma Zhouquan? Are you worthy too? Grandaunt would rather wipe her neck with a sword than live in the hands of you group of ungrateful white-eyed wolves!"

Zhao Chuan was not angry at being insulted by her like this, and even looked at Ying Ze, and continued to persuade:

"Your Majesty should be clear about what will happen to you if something happens to you and His Highness Li Wang enters the capital to take the throne, leaving only the Empress Empress as a woman. You are at the end of your rope now, but you have to think about the Empress Empress!"

Xiao Yunxiang was almost dizzy with his shameless anger, but when he turned his head, he saw Ying Ze's pensive look. He was startled, and hurriedly said:

"Ying Ze? You don't really believe what he said, do you?"

Ying Ze didn't respond, slowly unloaded his strength, and put down the sword in his hand. Xiao Yunxiang was dumbfounded, but Zhao Chuan sighed as if he had expected it a long time ago:

"If His Majesty had cooperated so early, he wouldn't have to suffer from this flesh and blood."

However, the moment his nerves relaxed, Ying Ze was caught off guard. He swung his sword with his backhand. Only by supporting the ground did he stop the castration.

When he looked up in astonishment, he saw Ying Ze standing beside the altar, reaching out his hand to press a corner of the altar, and a secret corridor appeared out of nowhere beside him.

Before pulling Xiao Yunxiang into the secret path, the young emperor looked down at him with mocking eyes:

"Is it your turn to protect the lonely woman?"
