Forced to be a third person: I turned around and left the palace to marry a villain
Chapter 569 The Huge Altar
"It's ridiculous. Phoenix Terrace is a holy place. How can you enter it casually?" Jiang Qiyuan's back was covered in cold sweat.
If he really goes to Phoenix Tower, his lies will be exposed and his ambitions will be shattered.
“Because of this, it is even more important to verify the authenticity.”
At this time, Meng Chunyi came on horseback, accompanied by Wu Mengchuan, an old general of the Wu family. Behind them, an army followed and joined the ranks of supporting Jiang Chen.
When they saw the real Crown Prince, the two veterans were so excited that tears filled their eyes.
Two days ago, Mo Tian told them that Jiang Chen was still alive, which shocked them; now that they saw it with their own eyes, they were filled with emotion.
Two years ago, everyone thought that the prince had followed the late emperor, but unexpectedly, he now appears in front of everyone safe and sound.
Moreover, his aura and strength are stronger than before, which makes the two old seniors who taught him martial arts since he was a child feel very gratified.
"The emperor doubts the identities of the prince and princess, but we believe they are real." An old minister said firmly, "In order to prevent the people of Qian Kingdom from being deceived and to prove the innocence of the two princes, we must go to Phoenix Terrace."
Another veteran minister, Wu Mengchuan, followed closely behind, supporting in a resounding voice.
As soon as these two respected old ministers opened their mouths, they immediately won the hearts of the people.
More and more people joined the shout: "Go to Phoenix Tower! Go to Phoenix Tower!"
It started as the voice of a few people, but soon became a powerful unanimous appeal.
Faced with such a huge request, Jiang Qiyuan felt unprecedented pressure and finally had to nod in agreement.
Jiang Chen glanced sternly at the guards who were surrounding his sister Xiaoxue. The self-evident pressure made the guards retreat one after another.
Seeing the injured Xiaoxue, Xiao Zhan felt pity in his heart. He gently picked her up and walked towards Jiang Chen.
"Xiaoxue, get in the car." Seeing his sister covered in scars, Jiang Chen felt extremely sad.
He specially prepared a comfortable carriage in the hope of alleviating her pain.
From the moment he learned the news, Jiang Chen was eager to come and rescue her.
As an older brother, he should have been the one protecting Xiaoxue, but ever since they met, she has always been the one sacrificing for him.
This guilt and love are intertwined in my heart.
On the way to Phoenix Terrace, Jiang Qiyuan looked around nervously, as if waiting for someone to appear.
Jiang Chen said coldly: "Uncle, there is no need to look any further. The person you are expecting will not come."
It turned out that Qu Ruchen had already sent members of the Five Poison Sect to control Ding Tu's killers.
Hearing this, Jiang Qiyuan hurriedly retracted his gaze: "What did you say? I don't understand."
"It's okay if you don't understand." After that, the two of them didn't communicate anymore on the whole road.
Soon, everyone arrived in front of the Phoenix Terrace.
On this magnificent building stands a huge altar, with flames spewing out of the mouth of a stone phoenix, as if the phoenix, which is spreading its wings and ready to fly, is spitting fire.
Seeing this scene, the people immediately knelt on the ground and bowed their heads in worship.
"Xiaoxue, are you okay?" Jiang Chen jumped off the horse, came to the carriage, gently lifted the curtain and asked.
His voice was gentle and kind, completely different from his previous coldness towards Jiang Qiyuan.
"Brother, I'm fine." she replied.
Along the way, Xiao Zhan had treated her injuries, and now she felt much better.
In order to cover her wounds, Xiao Zhan put his outer robe on her and carefully carried her out of the car.
"She is still very weak, please let me accompany her upstairs." Facing Jiang Chen, Xiao Zhan said earnestly.
Although it was difficult for Jiang Chen to accept the fact that he was from Beiling at first, Xiao Zhan's love for Xiaoxue was obvious, and he was even more considerate and caring than Jiang Chen, his brother.
Therefore, as time went by, Jiang Chen's attitude towards Xiao Zhan became much softer, and he believed that handing Xiaoxue over to him was a safe choice.
Jiang Chen nodded and stepped aside to make way for her. "Take her to the Phoenix statue." He pointed to the huge stone statue of the Phoenix in front of him. "Once we get there, Xiaoxue should know what to do."
After saying that, his worried gaze fell on Jiang Xue in Xiao Zhan's arms. If it were under normal circumstances, he would not be so worried; but now Xiao Xue was seriously injured and weak, he was not sure if she could bear the price of the upcoming ceremony.
"Don't worry, brother. I can do it." Xiaoxue saw through his concerns. She looked up at the majestic stone statue of the phoenix, knowing that it only required a little blood donation, and this minor injury was nothing to her.
"If it really doesn't work, I won't force myself." Hearing this, Jiang Chen gently stroked her head with a loving face.
Jiang Xue gave him a reassuring smile and said softly, "I understand."
"Your Majesty, everything is ready." Just as the brother and sister were about to go up to the altar, the eunuch beside Jiang Qiyuan reported quietly.
Jiang Qiyuan's eyes swept towards the assassin hiding in the corner of the altar, and a smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Ding Tu really kept his promise and had arranged an ambush. As long as they got close, they would be doomed to death.
Once the brother and sister died on the altar, his throne would be as secure as a rock.
"There is an ambush." Xiao Zhan keenly noticed the unusual movements on the altar.
"Don't worry." Jiang Xue comforted with a smile.
The altar is sacred and inviolable, and only the descendants of the Qian royal family can set foot on this solemn place.
Once the ceremony begins, anyone who is not a royal family member will become a sacrifice to the heavens.
"Take me to the phoenix statue later, and then find a safe place to hide." She didn't want Xiao Zhan to get hurt.
"Okay." His firm voice reassured her.
Arriving in front of the Phoenix statue, Jiang Xue walked towards the Phoenix's eyes alone, while her brother Jiang Chen was also there.
They both cut their palms at the same time, letting the blood drip into Phoenix's eyes.
The bright red blood flowed slowly along the veins of the stone statue and finally gathered in a totem on the ground, as mysterious and solemn as the tears of a phoenix.
As the blood seeped in, the totem gradually became activated, and a cloud of red smoke rose.
At the same time, a strange cry was heard in the air.
Everyone below was attracted by the sound and looked up at the sky, only to see a fiery red figure flying through the colorful clouds, which was strikingly similar to the stone statue of the phoenix on the altar!
The phoenix reappears, reborn from the ashes!
For the Qian people, the phoenix is not only a symbol of divinity, but also the supreme belief in their hearts.
At this moment, the ancient legend was staged again, shocking everyone's heart.
When Jiang Xue and her sister offered blood to the sky, attracting auspicious clouds and phoenixes to descend, who could still question their identities?
"See His Highness the Crown Prince!"
"See Your Highness the Princess!"
All the people knelt down with their heads bowed to the ground, paying homage to the two people on the platform, their hearts filled with awe.
