Your Majesty was abandoned again

Chapter 691 Sacrifice Ceremony
The day of the sacrificial ceremony finally arrived.

Because of the strangeness of the previous few days, this time the sacrificial ceremony was more lively than in previous years.

The entire area around Zilong Lake was crowded with people.

There are people nearby, and some came from other places to watch the excitement.

And there are more guards than in previous years.

The entire Zilong Lake was surrounded by water.

Looking over from the hills in the distance, it was a patch of black human heads.

Princess Xinrui was sitting in the sedan chair, her immature face had a calmness that didn't match her age.

Princess Xinrui was changed into snow-white clothes and sat in a sedan chair also surrounded by white veils.

It was carried around Zilong Lake by the selected attendants.

Not afraid, she is not afraid.

There is Aunt Su, Uncle Ye and Daibao, they will come to rescue her.

She is no longer alone.

People passing by bowed down to Princess Xinrui one after another.

From time to time, the sound of prayers from their mouths can still be heard.

"Calm your anger, Lord Zilong, this sacrifice is for you."

"Calm your anger, Lord Zilong."

The respect shown on their faces was not for Princess Xinrui, but for Zilong.

For them, as long as Princess Xinrui's death can be exchanged for Lord Zilong's appeasement, it is worth it.

On the sacrificial platform by the emperor's lake.

Looking at the white team from a distance.

Deep eyes.

When the team circled Zilong Lake for a week and returned to the altar, it was the time for the sacrifice to begin.

Sitting on the emperor's right is the empress, and to the right is the prince Sikong Yan.

Sitting on Sikong Yan's right was Patriarch Yuchi, and then Yuchi Xuan'er.

On the left of the emperor is the imperial concubine, then to the left is King Ning, and then the Princess Ning.

Other princes and ministers are seated according to their respective official titles.

Everyone was full of preoccupations, not as relaxed as in previous years.

No one really wants to see the legendary Nielong reappear in the world.

If that evil dragon really reappeared in the world, wouldn't they be the first to die?

Now they can only pray that after the sacrifice of Princess Xinrui, Zilong will continue to sleep.

Princess Xinrui was carried around a full circle and returned to the sacrificial altar.

Before and after the high platform for offering sacrifices, Princess Xinrui got down from the sedan chair.

Go up the steps step by step and walk towards the emperor.

At this time in the past, the chosen virgin was mostly crying.

Because what was waiting for her was death, being swallowed up by the bottomless Zilong Lake.

Princess Xinrui didn't cry today.

Looking at Princess Xinrui who was walking slowly, everyone had different expressions.

The emperor looked at Princess Xinrui's little face, which was [-]% similar to Concubine Chen's, and his expression became dim.

Xinrui...

His little Xinrui.

This is his and her little Xinrui...

Princess Xinrui finally came to the emperor, knelt down and kowtowed.

"This time, I am not worshiping the emperor, but my father."

Princess Xinrui said slowly in her immature voice.

Everyone was shocked when they heard the words.

The emperor was particularly shocked.

Princess Xinrui continued: "My daughter has not been able to see her father or mother since she can remember. My daughter often asks her grandfather if I did something wrong, and why my parents don't want me."

"Grandfather always said that I did nothing wrong, but I still don't understand why, if I did nothing wrong, my father doesn't like it, and my mother doesn't like it either?"

Princess Xinrui's eyes carried a sadness that did not belong to her age.
