Half a month passed quickly, and soon the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival came.

Jiang Xuening wore a princess uniform and attended on behalf of Qingzhou. The Mid-Autumn Festival is held in the largest square in Shengjing, which can accommodate tens of thousands of people.

When she arrived, the square was already bustling with people. The government dispatched the Yulin Army to maintain order.

Thanks to her title as princess, she was assigned a pretty good position. Standing on the steps, looking at the sacrificial altar above, a coldness flashed through his eyes.

Xiling people have the custom of worshiping the sun god during the summer solstice and the moon god during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

It’s just that such a grand Mid-Autumn Festival has not been held for a long time. The last time it was done was the year He Lianxuan ascended the throne.

She and He Lianxuan served as the officiants together. Within three days, she was shot and killed outside the city wall.

It wasn't until the last moment that He Lianxuan revealed his true face.

Soon the high priest came with his staff, and a group of people gathered barefoot around the altar and began to dance.

The high priest kept chanting incomprehensible sacrificial language, and everything looked solemn and sacred.

"The emperor has arrived!"

"The Queen is here!"

……

As the eunuch's shrill voice sounded, people from the royal family came in large numbers. The bright yellow holy car was extremely dazzling, and the dazzling light it reflected hurt people's eyes.

Jiang Xuening only glanced at it and then withdrew her eyes.

The high priest sprinkled holy water and chanted loudly, "Please the emperor and queen, worship the moon god!"

The emperor and empress walked side by side, climbing the steps step by step, heading towards the sacrificial altar.

Jiang Xuening narrowed her eyes and looked up at the sky.

Feng'er flew briskly through the air and soon disappeared.

The high priest's voice sounded, "The sacrifice begins!"

Suddenly, swarms of crows flew towards Xiao Shujin, surrounding her and pecking at her.

"Go away!"

Xiao Shujin's panicked voice sounded, and he was quickly surrounded by dense crows, which looked very scary.

The sudden change frightened everyone.

"Hurry and help!"

He Lianxuan had been protected. The Yulin Army and the palace ladies tried to save the queen, but overwhelming crows kept flying in and surrounded Xiao Shujin.

Some timid people no longer dare to watch it.

Xiao Shujin's body is covered with crows, and she looks like a human-shaped crow.

The people instantly became noisy and the scene got out of control for a time.

“Crows are a bad omen!”

"The Queen has become a bird..."

The Yulin soldiers directly slashed the crows with their swords, and soon the sacrificial platform was bloody and the corpses of crows were everywhere.

Xiao Shujin had fallen to the ground, and there were still swarms of crows rushing towards her.

The high priest looked pale, pinched his fingers and said, "The Phoenix has returned, a new Emperor Star will be born, and the world will be in chaos."

Unfortunately, there was chaos on the altar and no one heard his murmur.

"A crow is possessed, which is very ominous."

"The Demon Queen appears, Xiling will perish..."

Various rumors spread among the people, all of which were ominous. The Xiao family members paled instantly, and Xiao Linfeng looked solemn.

"The demon queen is coming, the crow is possessing me, the sky is going to destroy me in Xiling!"

"The demon queen is coming, the crow is possessing me, the sky is going to destroy me in Xiling!"

"Burn the Demon Queen to death!"

"Burn the Demon Queen to death!"

There was complete chaos, and all the Yulin troops were dispatched. It still could not quell the unrest of the people.

Xiao Shujin had been pecked into blood by crows and was dying. The crows killed one after another, but still couldn't finish them all. She seemed to have a special attraction to crows, and the endless crows cast a shadow over today's sacrifice.

In the end, Xiao Linfeng stood up and said decisively, "Carry the queen into the carriage and return to the palace!"

Several Yulin soldiers endured fear and nausea and forcibly lifted the queen up and carried her to the carriage.

Even though he was being carried, Xiao Shujin was still covered with dense crows, which made people feel numb.

Jiang Xuening just watched quietly, her expression unwavering. When Xiao Wuji escorted the queen away, he glanced at her gently.

Today's events reminded him of the "Three Thousand Crows Killing" on the Beichuan Icefield, which killed all his men.

He lowered his eyes and finally said nothing.

Even if Xiao Shujin was carried into the carriage and the carriage was closed and the windows closed, the crows could not get in. The crows still did not give up and surrounded the carriage. They parked on the carriage in dense numbers and followed the carriage in groups.

"It's over, it's over, it's completely over."

"With today's incident, the queen is finished."

The two ladies standing next to Jiang Xuening sighed softly.

Such a shocking thing happened on the sacrificial altar. Xiao Shujin's reputation was completely ruined. From now on, she would be saddled with an ominous reputation. It is estimated that her career as a queen has come to an end.

As soon as the carriage carrying Xiao Shujin left, an overwhelming crowd of crows followed.

The riot gradually subsided under the suppression of the Habayashi Army. The people were forcibly dispersed, leaving only bird feathers and crow carcasses on the ground.

The altar was bloody and exuded an ominous atmosphere.

He Lianxuan drove back to the palace with a sullen expression, and the officials dispersed in a hurry.

Jiang Xuening walked slowly at the end of the crowd and felt a cold gaze looking at her.

She looked back and saw Xiao Linfeng standing on the altar looking at her with an unpredictable expression.

Nangong Mo came over to talk to her with a cheerful expression, "Is your queen of Xiling the reincarnation of the Crow King? Today is an eye-opener."

If you go back and tell it to someone, someone will definitely be happy.

Jiang Xuening slowly withdrew her gaze and followed Nangong Mo out.

She clearly saw murderous intent in Xiao Linfeng, so let the storm be more violent.

After walking far away, Nangong Mo looked at her suspiciously, "What do you think about today's matter?"

"The idea of ​​watching a good show." Jiang Xuening said calmly, "It's quite interesting to see a phoenix turn into a crow."

Nangong Mo sneered, "That's because it's a fake phoenix."

The "grand occasion" on today's sacrificial altar was spread in the streets and alleys, and Xiao Shujin completely became an unknown person.

Some people even said that the queen would attract evil things because she was "unkind". They even went so far as to say that Xiao Shujin was the Demon Queen.

The queen worships the heaven, and her magic power is boundless.

After this time, Xiao Shujin was considered useless. The Xiao family lost a queen, so it was impossible to remain indifferent.

Returning to the palace, Jiang Xuening said to Wu Sa, "Notify Jiang Li and bring everyone here."

Although there was no evidence pointing to her, she had a hunch that Xiao Linfeng would not let her go once Xiao Shujin was dead.

The gentler his face looks, the more ruthless he becomes.

On the carriage, the palace maid looked panicked. Xiao Wuji and two of his men killed all the crows on Xiao Shujin's body with one knife after another.

The car smelled fishy, ​​the original color of Xiao Shujin's phoenix uniform could no longer be seen clearly, and she was covered in hair and blood.

The whole person looked extremely terrifying.

Today is destined to be a colorful day in the history of Xiling. With a somewhat obscure dark color, a new beginning begins.
