The prince disliked her, and the legitimate daughter was reborn and married to the regent

The flames, torches, low chants, and people being driven around the center, all point to the most reasonable explanation.

Korlo was going to hold a sacrificial ceremony in his palace, under the gaze of so many people.

"Do not be afraid."

He said to his children with a kind smile, just as he once said these words to another pair of shivering children.

"Father..."

"why?"

Unfortunately, except for Thirteen and Erqi, the rest of the children seemed to have already accepted their fate. They were lifeless and had no desire to resist.

"Damn it, how dare he? This is absolutely not allowed. Isn't he afraid of being struck by lightning?"

Yun Nian cursed in a low voice, but for a cruel and bloodthirsty emperor who possessed supreme power, how could he care whether he would be punished or not?

"Master, this is really wrong. Let's leave. I have a bad feeling."

Lang Ya's voice was tense, like a bowstring that had been stretched tight. Unfortunately, Yun Nian just glanced at him and then shook his head.

"It's too late. From the moment we step into this palace, or rather, when we step into Ke Luo's territory, we can forget about escaping from here easily."

She looked at the guards who were staring at her eagerly, and the nobles who were already excited. Everyone seemed to have lost their minds and surrounded the huge palace.

"Look, it's about to begin."

Yun Nian whispered, and as she finished her words, blood suddenly flowed before her eyes. The nobles couldn't wait to cut their wrists, and then gurgled out, gathering in the center of the stage as if attracted by an invisible force.

"them……"

"Are you looking for death?"

Bai Ju added what Lang Ya failed to say, but both of them had the same shock in their eyes. Only Yun Nian's bright eyes were filled with a trace of sadness.

"What should I do? How can I protect myself and save these children at the same time?"

No matter how deep the hatred between the two countries was, at least the children were innocent. Yun Nian felt heartbroken. Looking at the distraught children, her beautiful eyes were filled with anger.

"No, Master, I must ensure your safety!"

"That's right. Let's find a chance to slip away and not worry about what's going on here. Anyway, Ke Luo's people don't like us anyway."

Bai Ju whispered, almost going crazy with anxiety. The longer he stayed here, the more terrified he felt. These people were crazy. He had never seen such a horrific scene. All of them were looking in the same direction, with creepy smiles on their faces, and they were bleeding without blinking.

"no no!"

Yun Nian's tone suddenly became firm. She clenched her fists and began to pluck the strings.

"Zheng~"

It was the sound of the piano that was enough to bewitch people. When she joined this strange sacrifice, everyone's eyes were focused on her from the center of the stage.

This is really a terrifying scene. Normal people become like puppets being controlled.

But Yun Nian was not afraid. After a few smooth piano notes, her voice also rang out.

"Don't worry about me. Find a chance to leave. I know I'm willful and I know you're all trying to protect me, but if I just leave like this, I'll definitely regret it."

She lowered her head slightly, looking at the strings in her hands, revealing a somewhat helpless and relieved smile.

"I don't want to regret it. If I could do it again, maybe my original purpose wasn't to survive. I've already enjoyed enough. I'm destined to face all this here. I want to save them. It has nothing to do with anyone. It's just my own willfulness. You can say I'm too kind, or whatever. I can't watch them use the lives of children to satisfy their own selfish desires."

After saying this, she raised her head and looked straight at the bewildered children on the central stage.

Even though her voice slightly disrupted the sacrifice that had already begun, Korro was not in a hurry. Instead, she smiled strangely.

"I still can't help it, Qinyin, Qinyin, so what if you remind me, I don't believe what it says."

His expression changed for a moment, then immediately returned to normal.

"It doesn't matter. As long as I wait until this sacrificial bend is completed, no one will be able to stop me. I will become the most powerful person in the world!"

Korro's eyes fell on the woman playing the piano.

"As for you, a woman from Da'an, do you think I don't know? I just don't want to alert the enemy. I keep you here because I have more important things to do."

He stood up, his huge body as huge as a mountain.

"You want to save them, right? You see, you are so hypocritical and weak that you would rather give up your own lives to save others. In this world, what is more important than your own life?"

The Emperor of Keluo laughed loudly, and the wild sound echoed in the hall. His ministers also had fanatical expressions on their faces.

"Look, I gave them rights, I let them enjoy fine wine and beautiful women, I also gave them my concubines, no one can refuse my reward, everyone has been satisfied, and now, it's time for them to contribute!"

The torches were swaying in all directions, and the faces of the nobles turned pale and blue in the reflection of the flames, but they themselves did not seem to realize that.

Yun Nian naturally saw all of this. She kept moving her hands, trying desperately to use her music to stop the sacrifice that had already begun. Even if it was in vain, she had to give it a try.

As for forcibly stopping her? Langya and Baiju had already rushed forward when they heard that their master was unwilling to leave. Since they couldn't persuade her to leave, they could just solve the problem.

Yun Nian's eyes were like the blazing sun, flashing with a dazzling light that was hard to look at directly.

"You won't succeed. I will do everything in my power to stop you!"

The blood seemed to flow faster and faster. The nobles had already lost their minds and fell to the ground with limp bodies, then smiled like fools.

Erqi and Shisan, who originally disliked each other, now hugged each other in fear. They could not leave the stage, as if there was an invisible barrier between them.

"Okay, let's try it!"

Korro waved his hand and threw the torches into the stage.
