Chapter 2961

"Prime minister, our people have arranged, but now this sacrificial ceremony is not a good time to start. The empress has been protected by hidden comfort. If this assassination fails, our people will be exposed, which is also a great danger to the prime minister!!!"

A little maid came up and pretended to pour water for the snow, but whispered anxiously in Xu Xue's ear, "prime minister, it's still time. As long as you give an order, our trained people will withdraw in time without any casualties."

If it were normal, Xu Xue's rational brain would certainly make everyone retreat and wait for the next time.

But now, Zhao Li has been disappointed with her. She doesn't even bother to give her eyes. As the prime minister, she can't go to the sacrificial ceremony. Such a great humiliation and anger in her heart make her brain irrational.

"The empress is not as cowardly as before. It's easy to fool. Now our people can't get close to the empress in the imperial palace. This sacrificial ceremony is our best chance. When will we wait next time!!"

"The empress is weakening my power now. Do you want to wait until I am demoted and exiled???" Xu Xue was gnashing her teeth with hatred. There was a burning fire with hatred in her eyes. "Do it now. Even if you can't successfully assassinate the female emperor, you will hurt her!!!"

The bell on the top of the Phoenix Mountain rang again, which means that the sacrificial ceremony has officially begun. At this time, the light rain is still falling, and the imperial guards blocking the intersection still stand upright like pines and cypresses.

The concubines of the harem left at the foot of the mountain suddenly burst into sobbing.

Zhao Li returned to the sedan chair with an ugly face.

Xu Xue was left standing outside alone.

She looked at the lush top of the mountain from a distance and clenched her hands into fists.

Dong Dong, after the huge bell was sounded, all the people knelt down.

Yuexi stood quietly with no response at all.

The female officer beside him stared at his Majesty in amazement. There was no movement in her hand. She was as anxious as ants on a hot pot.

Your majesty, what are you doing?? This is an annual sacrificial ceremony to pray God for the bright moon country and good weather. Your Majesty must not be so capricious!!!

Yuexi didn't pay any attention to the eyes of the female official, but looked at everyone kneeling down with interest.

With their palms up and their foreheads against the ground, they looked sincere.

Tut

It's just praying for the way of heaven. Every time humans in the small world accompany this sacrificial ceremony, they will give the way of heaven a power called faith.

Want her to do as the Romans do and kneel down to heaven with this group of stupid mortals?? Nice try.

Zhao Jue was also stunned. He pulled Yuexi's sleeve nervously, "Yuexi, you have to kneel down and pray."

"Get down on your knees!! He deserves it, too. " Yuexi turned her eyes very rudely, and couldn't help but burst out rude words, "if you want me to kneel, the people above are not afraid to lose their lives."

She looked at Zhao Jue, who had half knelt down, and very simply pulled the man up.

Kneel what kneel, the way of heaven is not worthy to let Xihua kneel.

At this sacrificial ceremony, she deliberately hid all the experts around her in order to give her assassins a chance.

After all, now the Imperial Palace has been controlled by all her people. Those who want to assassinate can't succeed at all. Now they finally come outside the palace. Yuexi doesn't believe it. Prime Minister situ and the female master don't start??

In addition, at the foot of the mountain, she deliberately humiliated the male and female masters. In the face of heavy life, she felt that she was the protagonist, the proud and arrogant female master, and the male master who was born humble but had strong self-esteem.

Such humiliation is not enough to blow their hair?? To be impulsive?

"Your Majesty, how can you..." Zhao Jue still wanted to speak, but his lips were blocked by Yuexi's fingertips. He stared at the people in front of him and blinked mischievously at him.

"Shh, don't talk. The people at the bottom are kneeling quietly. Do you want to attract their attention and let them see that we are standing at the moment?"

Yuexi looked at Zhao Jue with a smile.

Zhao Jue was helpless and could only sigh.

She's so wayward.

The female officer standing next to him has closed her eyes in despair. She only hopes that her Majesty's wayward behavior will not be found by the ministers.

When it was time to get up, the female official finally breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't wait to shout out the sentence, "worship is completed, all officials get up!!!"

After hearing the instructions, the ministers got up slowly.

Just as the ministers got up to tidy up their clothes and prepare for the next round of worship, bursts of broken voices came straight towards the moon.

"Ah!!!" Some ministers stood in front and unfortunately got the move. They fell to the ground and screamed and died.

The good sacrificial ceremony suddenly had such a change. All the people were caught off guard. They all showed panic and fled around like frightened birds.

"Come on, there's an assassin!"

"There are assassins, hurry to protect your majesty!!"

Yuexi was very calm and directly pulled the frightened Zhao Jue behind her.

"Your Majesty, hurry into the sedan chair!!!" Li Hua rushed over with people first and surrounded the moon.

Yuexi didn't refuse either. Directly under the cover of people, she stuffed Zhao Jue into the sedan chair.

As the son of heaven, the sedan chair has naturally been carefully built. Unless the enemy kills in front of him, no sharp bow and arrow can penetrate the iron wall of the sedan chair.

Yuexi lifted the driving curtain and looked out. There was chaos outside. The assassins who covered their faces and showed only one pair of eyes stared at her place tightly.

The ministers also nestled in the corner one by one, holding their heads, because the steps up Fenghuang Mountain were very narrow. The ministers ran there one after another in order to escape for their lives. In addition, it rained and the road was slippery. One by one, they rolled down like dumplings.

Seeing this group of assassins approaching, the dark guards hiding in the dark can't help fighting.

But before starting, Yuexi had already ordered. Without her order, even if she died, these dark guards could not come out.

So in addition to the female officials followed by Yuexi, a group of dark guards hiding in the dark began to worry.

As soon as Yuexi wanted to go out, her sleeve was pulled. She looked back and found that Zhao Jue's face was pale. He dragged her sleeve.
