Hold the thick thighs tightly [My father is a traitor]

Chapter 686 Crying Blood

The team moved forward slowly, and the little boy no longer paid attention to the people on both sides of the team.

When the emperor and officials all filed out of the palace gate, she was carried by her grandmother to the carriage and mixed in with the officials' families. She no longer had to walk, and during the sacrifice, she only had to stand far away and pretend.

Li Anhe gently patted his granddaughter's back and whispered, "Qingjie, sleep a little longer. Grandma will call you when we get to Tianshan."

Little Yining nodded slightly, leaned obediently on his grandma's neck, and tried hard to find sleep.

Just at this moment, a graceful and elegant figure suddenly appeared in her sight.

She widened her eyes in surprise and asked subconsciously, "Grandma, is Princess Zhaoyang's illness healed?"

Upon hearing this, Li Anhe also looked outside the car. The figure seemed to have noticed the gazes of the grandparents and grandchildren. He glanced at them indifferently, then nodded and looked away.

Xiao Yining: ⊙▽⊙, it’s really normal, and you are so condescending again!

At this time, Li Anhe whispered in the little kid's ear: "How can she get better so quickly? She is just holding on because of her obsession. Sister Qing, don't worry about her."

Obsession?

Are you still thinking about picking a good husband for Princess Anping?

The little kid poked his head out curiously. Princess Zhaoyang's carriage went farther and farther away in the dim lights, and finally turned into a blurry shadow, disappearing at the end of the sight, becoming the leader of the officials' wives.

She stared thoughtfully for a moment, then retracted her head with a hint of confusion. For some reason, an intuition quietly arose in her heart - this person seemed to want to do something.

Little Yining shook his head, put this strange idea behind him, leaned on his grandma's arms, blinked his eyes, and soon he felt sleepy and went back to sleep again.

The sky gradually turned white as the dragon-like team moved. The sun in the east began to appear, slowly casting its warm rays on everyone.

After a long journey, the sacrificial team finally showed a vague outline not far from the Tianshan Mountains.

The people and officials from the Ministry of Rites who had been waiting at the foot of the mountain knelt down to greet them, shouting "Long live the emperor", which shook the sky. The top of Tianshan Mountain also emitted wisps of green smoke in due time to welcome the sacrificial team.

The emperor had a calm expression, with a hint of kindness in his majesty. He slowly raised his hand and motioned for everyone to stand up.

Xiao Yining also woke up amidst the shouts, and she hurriedly looked outside.

There were several porridge stalls on both sides of the road. Many plain-looking people wearing ill-fitting colorful clothes gathered around them, gazing at the emperor in the front with gratitude and admiration.

On the stairs leading to the Tianshan Altar, the Iron Eagle Guards were already standing all along the way, welcoming the arrival of the emperor.

The little girl observed for a moment and began to look for the two old men, but she only saw her mother and the reluctant Wang Gungun busy helping in the girls' department.

Her face was full of surprise, and she searched for a while, but still could not find any trace of the two old men.

"Sister Qing, what are you looking at?" Li Anhe looked outside in the direction the little kid was looking, puzzled.

"Dad and uncle are missing!" Xiao Yining replied truthfully.

Hearing this, Li Anhe chuckled, "Didn't your father tell Sister Qing? He and your uncle were taken to Tianshan Mountain by Scholar Jiang to help!"

Xiao Yining: Σ(⊙▽⊙“a

The little kid couldn't help but look back at his grandmother in disbelief, muttering in his heart: Are there not enough officials in the Ministry of Rites? Do they have to recruit students to make up the number?

Then, she heard her grandmother sigh and explain, "Although this scholar Jiang is a teacher at Yunfei Academy, he is also a member of the Ministry of Rites. Your father and uncle were punished for being late at the academy, so he took them to the altar to clean up to offset the three days' punishment, so that next time there will be no latecomers who use the holiday as an excuse to avoid the punishment for a few days."

Xiao Yining: (wДw), is this ok?

As it turns out, there is nothing she can't do, the only outrageous thing she can't think of. Don't blame people for their diversity.

Lin Yuzan was forced to change into a blue chores uniform. He sulked and stabbed the broom, complaining, "This is what Shu Zhi said, the best way to sneak into Tianshan. I just wanted to watch the fun. If anything goes wrong, I can take Qingjie away in time."

Wang Cheng glanced at him calmly and said as a matter of course: "There are obviously legitimate methods to use, why do you have to go to such lengths? What's more, you can earn twenty cents today. Jiang Daxueshi is much more generous than that old man."

Lin Yuzan pointed at his old enemy in anger and finally cursed: "Wang Shuzhi, you are such a stingy person! You only spent a little money and you tortured me in every possible way."

Wang Cheng shrugged noncommittally, then reminded: "The old man has brought people up."

Lin Yuzan looked at the crowd of heads below, pursed his lips, and put aside their new grudge for the time being.

Then, Wang and Lin both looked towards the statue standing at the top of the sky. They sneered at the same time and picked up the brooms, pretending to sweep up the non-existent fallen leaves.

The sound of drums and music from the sacrificial ceremony gradually echoed from the top of Tianshan Mountain from far away. The sacrificial personnel dressed in gorgeous clothes moved forward in an orderly manner to make the final arrangements.

Little Yining was carried off the carriage and had to walk the rest of the way.

She was led by Li Anhe and came behind Princess Zhaoyang. After a brief rest, she followed the large group up the mountain.

When she finally arrived at the Tianshan Altar with the help of her grandmother, the jade tripod in the middle of the altar was already filled with offerings. Everyone had solemn and pious expressions, looking forward, waiting for the auspicious time to come.

Not long after, a golden light from the east enveloped the statue, making it look even more sacred and compassionate. The auspicious moment arrived at this moment.

A mysterious and blessed eulogy began to be chanted.

Little Yining looked forward quickly, and saw his great uncle raising and lowering the jade wall in a rhythmic pattern, repeating the same steps as the sacrificial text.

At this moment, the little girl clearly felt a burning gaze on her face. She couldn't help but roll her eyes and glance to the side. She found two old men hiding behind a temple not far away, looking at her with smiles on their faces.

Xiao Yining: (⊙?⊙), Are you so happy about being punished?

The little girl was full of suspicion and wanted to look away, but then she saw her father waving his hand like her and greeting her.

Seeing this, she withdrew her gaze without hesitation and no longer paid attention to the two old men who were obviously abnormal.

Just at this moment, a suppressed scream of fear suddenly sounded beside her, interrupting the solemn sacrificial ceremony.

"The statue, the statue is crying..."

"Oh my God, what's going on?"

"It's blood..."

The kid heard this and tried to look up, but Li Anhe, who was standing beside him, suddenly covered his eyes with his hands.

She jerked her head and struggled to break free, and the scene before her made her gasp.

Two bloody tears fell from the eye sockets of the statue, winding down along the lines of the stone carving, branching into countless lines, covering the statue's compassionate face like a spider web.
