After getting through the busiest days, the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven is just around the corner, so Xiao Yijue became more relaxed.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs has sent his dress to.All the previous national teachers need a new set of dress every year when they sacrifice to heaven. Wearing old clothes will be considered disrespectful to heaven, and this year is no exception.

In order to ensure that there were no unnecessary decorations and disrespectful things on the dress, Xiao Yijue checked it from front to back, from inside to outside.The current world situation is very different from the original plot. Mu Yihan didn't intend to make Lu Lenghuang his queen, and Xiao Yijue didn't make trouble for him in the open, and they lived in peace with each other, so he wasn't worried. Clothes were tampered with.

This year's ritual dress is mainly black, with sleeves five inches long and over one foot wide. The cuffs, collar, and belt are inlaid with red gold brocade, and the chest, back, and shoulders are embroidered with the sun, moon, stars, The patterns of mountains, seas, and snakes look very grand.

The sacrificial crown is round, hollowed out in the center, and there is a long purple ribbon hanging down from the tail of the crown, which complements the pattern on the back of the clothes, adding a bit of mystery.

In addition to the clothes, the Ministry of Internal Affairs also prepared all the utensils used for the sacrifice and handed them over to Xiao Yijuan for inspection and review.By the time he gets everything sorted out, it's time for you—you can have dinner.

There are not only requirements for clothing and clothing, but also certain restrictions on meals.Three days before the grand ceremony, the national teacher needs to have simple tea and light food, three baths and three smokes, in order to show sincerity.

So for these three days, Xiao Yijue could only use some vegetarian food such as "boiled vegetables", "boiled tofu", and "cabbage in clear soup".When eating in Youshi, he will be able to put his chest on his back when he is hungry before Haishi.

Moreover, in order to make the national teacher calm and concentrate, entertainment and noise were prohibited on the eve of the sacrifice, which made it impossible for him to pass the time with ink and pen.If it wasn't for Baozi's daily scriptures, he might really be bored to death in this stuffy environment.

Flipping through the storybook in boredom——

Yesterday I just saw that the rich lady's parents were unwilling to marry her to a poor scholar, so they killed the maid who was acting as a matchmaker, and locked the lady into the room without giving her food or drink.Miss would rather die than submit, she was dying of hunger.

Next, a poor scholar who doesn't know martial arts and has no power to restrain a chicken miraculously climbed over the wall and entered the room, and brought the lady hot and fragrant rose cakes—the two ate together on the day they first met in Huajie.Miss was recalled and looked at the scholar with teary eyes, and the scholar looked back at Miss affectionately.

Then... Miss didn't eat rose cakes, but rolled together with the scholar uncontrollably.

The fucking plot!

Xiao Yijue held his forehead helplessly, and threw the script aside.Why isn't that man here yet?

Just as I was thinking, the footsteps of "Rustle" came, and a familiar voice sounded: "Master, can't wait?"

Xiao Yijue immediately picked up the script that he had just left behind, pretending to be serious.Seeing Murong Ze come in, he didn't even lift his eyelids, and said calmly: "His Royal Highness is joking, and I'm just concentrating on reading, how can I wait to say something?"

Murong Ze chuckled, took out the notebook in his hand, and read it carefully: "Xiao Lang~"

The poor scholar was also surnamed Xiao, and Xiao Yijue heard it as if he was calling himself.Especially the ending sound of the word "Lang" is long and trembling, and when it comes to a man's mouth, it is a little more romantic than that rich lady.He gave Murong Ze a few big "Bah"s in his heart, but the roots of his ears were stained with a layer of light pink.

While teasing his lover, Murong Ze took out the plum cake from the box, and the sweet and soft scent immediately wafted in the air, soaking into his bones.

Xiao Yijue was already hungry, and his favorite plum cake was in front of him, so he didn't argue with him, and ate it alone.

This kind of food is replaced by others, which is called wolfing down, but in Xiao Yijue's body, it becomes fast and elegant.

Murong Ze saw that his cheeks were bulging and he ate very sweetly, so he couldn't help but pick up a piece of plum cake and put it in his mouth.He doesn't like sweets, he always finds plum cakes sweet and greasy, but now he thinks it's only sweet but not greasy.

Probably really stupefied!He stared in astonishment at the crumbs of the pastry on his fingertips.

After Xiao Yijue wiped out all the boxes of plum cakes, he stretched contentedly.Murong Ze knowingly stepped forward and rubbed his stomach.

The big hand with inner strength was as warm as a small stove, Xiao Yijuan sighed comfortably and dozed off.His body temperature was cold, even in summer, his whole body was cold, and he couldn't resist such warmth at all.

The eyelids are getting heavier and heavier... After rubbing, he really fell into a deep sleep, and his eyebrows stretched.

Murong Ze looked at his lover's defenseless sleeping face, and gently hugged him onto the bed.

Sleep hugging each other.

The next day, Yinshi——

Mu Yihan set off with all his officials in a mighty manner.Following the usual practice, all people walk, and they are arranged according to the rank of the official.The emperor was at the forefront, followed by the regent, followed by Xiao Yijue, Prime Minister Lu, and Prince Anping.

The Royal Temple of Heaven is located in Yanhui Mountain, fourteen miles away from the Imperial Palace, about an hour's walk away.The officials are usually pampered and can't bear hardships. Many people collapsed on the road before arriving halfway and were thrown off by the large army.

Everyone in the harem had special sedan chairs, the one with the big red top was the empress dowager, the one with the scarlet top was the empress, and the rest were four concubines, and those below the concubine were not eligible to come here at all.

Mu Yihan originally wanted Lu Lenghuang to stay in the palace and raise his baby with peace of mind, but he couldn't hold back her coquettishness, so he brought her here as soon as his heart softened.Lu Lenghuang said that she came to see the world, but only she knew what she wanted to see.

There are two roads to Yanhui Mountain, one is Yangguan Avenue, and the other is narrow and gloomy, so everyone naturally chose the former.

There are advantages to choosing the main road, but there are also certain disadvantages.Now it is the hottest time in Tianyuan Kingdom, and the sun will come out as soon as the time of Mao arrives.The material of the official uniform is tight and airtight, coupled with the stuffy and hot weather, it is like a huge steamer.

Xiao Yijue was no better than the others. Although he was relaxed all the way, the sticky feeling on his back made him very uncomfortable, and he wished he could take off his clothes and take a cold shower immediately.

When they reached Yanhui Mountain, most of the officials were out of breath.The few freaks like Xiao Yijue and Murongze seemed to be at ease, which made Mu Yihan a little more afraid.

At the foot of the mountain, concubines can go to the temple to rest.As for the princes and nobles, they still have to move on after the rest.

Yanhui Mountain is 410 and [-] feet high, and it is the place closest to the sky in the entire Tianyuan Kingdom.The altar at the top of this hill meant that the exhausted officials had to walk a long way up the steps.

Several guards dragged their weary steps upwards, holding on to not fall while observing the surrounding noises.

"Look, is there a word on that tree?" One of the guards looked puzzled, and poked the arm of the person next to him with his elbow.

The guard who was stabbed impatiently shook off his hand, cursing: "Why are there words on the tree, don't dream in broad daylight!"

The guard rubbed his eyes and punched himself on the head several times.

"No, no, Wang, brother Wang, really, really have words." He seemed to see something clearly, his whole body trembled, and he couldn't even speak clearly.

"How is it possible! If you dare to speak nonsense again, I will..." The guard surnamed Wang turned his head subconsciously, and the retort stopped abruptly.

I saw a few bloodstains winding from top to bottom on the thick trunk of the century-old pine along the road, like a tree bleeding.Even on a bright sunny day, it looks eerie and terrifying.

Taking a closer look, there are no bloodstains, it is clearly a few words of blood!

With terrified eyes, the two guards read in unison: "Di, Fei, Di." As if they had thought of something, the two turned pale and rushed into the guard of honor.

Such a big movement naturally caused a commotion.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Yijue pushed aside the crowd and asked gently.

"Tree, there are words on the tree." The two guards saw the national teacher, as if they had found the backbone, they hurriedly knelt down to express their feelings.

"What word?" Xiao Yijue walked straight to the tree, and his pupils shrank suddenly after seeing the words clearly.God, non, god!

The emperor and ministers following behind him could also see clearly.

The air was quiet for a moment, surprisingly condensed.

With a gloomy face, Mu Yihan said angrily: "It's nonsense! Someone must have deliberately made trouble and cut down all these trees for me!"

His stern gaze swept across the group of officials, wandering between Murong Ze and Mu Yisheng.

The emperor's order was hard to disobey, and the imperial army soon began to cut down trees.However, these trees seemed to be endlessly cut down, one tree fell down, and countless others popped up, and the blood letters on the trunk became bigger and bigger, making people fearful.

The ministers couldn't help whispering.

Mu Yihan kept staring at Mu Yisheng and Murong Ze from the corner of his eyes.Murong Ze still had his usual calm appearance, but a trace of sarcasm quickly flashed across Mu Yisheng's eyes.

He was furious in his heart immediately, and decided that Mu Yisheng was one of the culprits.

But when anger returns to anger, he is not good at attacking on the spot.Firstly, there is no evidence, and acting rashly would be regarded as self-directed and self-acted; secondly, Mu Yisheng is just an idle prince, how can he have such a great ability?There must be people with ulterior motives behind him to fuel the flames.And this person... besides Murong Ze, who else could he be?

Suppressing his anger, he waved his hand to signal the guard of honor to move on, but in his heart he planned to catch a turtle in the jar.After the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven, he will definitely wipe out this gang of rebellious officials and thieves!

Except for this little episode, the rest of the journey was uneventful.But maybe the bloodshed of Lao Song was too weird, many people looked dignified, and the atmosphere of the whole team became more solemn.

Soon to the altar.
