Chapter 153 The Prince Offers Sacrifice to Heaven to Allay the Wrath of the Gods

"Are you okay?" Long Yuan asked Su Muyao in a worried tone. He looked her up and down and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she was fine.

“It’s okay.” While he was speaking, the sound of gongs and drums could be heard from the platform above.

Long Yuan looked towards the platform and said to Su Muyao: "I should go up now, you just sit here and watch."

Seeing Su Muyao nodded, he strode towards the platform.

Those ministers had already cast their eyes over to the prince when he arrived.

But everyone was curious about whose baby that was and why the prince took such good care of him.

The official relatives who lived close to him were also very curious that the prince actually called himself "me".

Su Muyao sat on the stool and listened to the whispers of people around her, feeling annoyed.

At this time, Su Laosan felt a little regretful and brought his beloved baby here.

After all, he also knew that there were many things going on in the backyards of high-ranking officials. If he accidentally offended these people, his family would be in trouble...

All the people who were going to offer sacrifices had already arrived, and the emperor and the empress finally arrived. When the people below saw the emperor in dragon robes and the empress in phoenix robes arriving, they quickly knelt down and saluted.

"Long live my emperor, long live the emperor"

"Long live the Queen!"

Su Laosan also knelt down, and seeing that his daughter was still standing, he quickly pulled her sleeve.

She said anxiously in a low voice, "A girl should not be rude."

Su Muyao, taking advantage of her small stature and the long robe she was wearing, simply squatted where she was and did not kneel down.

There are so many people here, they won't care about a baby like me, right? Seeing the person sitting in the upper seat finally raised his hand to let everyone stand up, Su Muyao stood up.

After a while, I saw that the sacrifice in front had already begun, with his singing and dancing.

Su Muyao was watching with curiosity. She saw the painted-faced priest jumping around and muttering something, but she couldn't understand a single word.

Until half a day passed, there was still no effect.

At this time, the emperor directly asked the priest, "How is it?"

The man with the painted face came forward and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, this priest cannot bring you this rain."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's expression changed. They didn't expect that this priest would dare to speak to the emperor like this.

The emperor on the throne was not angry, but asked quietly: "Why can't you get it?"

The priest said nothing. He walked from the high platform to the edge and faced all the people. Then he slowly said, "My people, I am a famous priest in Jiangnan who can communicate with the gods."

After saying this, the man looked down at the stage and saw that most of the elderly people were looking at him with pious eyes, so he smiled with satisfaction.

"But this rain cannot be prayed for. Not only that, the drought will continue until all the people of the Great Dynasty die."

As soon as these words were spoken, the people below were in an uproar. The emperor also stood up and looked at the priest with his eyes slightly narrowed.

The painted-faced man didn't keep anyone in suspense: "I just communicated with the gods. It was the prince of the great dynasty who committed many evil deeds in his previous life, oppressing the people and causing great suffering to all the people in the world.

Unexpectedly, the devil who was reincarnated again became the prince of a great dynasty and was deeply loved by the emperor. The gods were furious, which led to the drought for so many years.

This is a punishment from the gods, and the wrath of the gods can only be eliminated if the prince offers sacrifice to the heavens."

None of the ministers dared to say a word at this time, but someone among the people below spoke up in the crowd.

"No wonder there have been droughts for consecutive years. It started not long after the prince was born, and there has been drought every year until this year. It seems that the prince is really unworthy of his position and he should offer sacrifices to the heavens to appease the god's wrath."

After these words were spoken, many people began to shout loudly, "The prince's sacrifice to heaven has appeased the gods' wrath."

Some confused people also joined in. In their opinion, although the royal family had tremendous power, they would not execute all the people.

But the most important thing is that if the prince does not offer sacrifices to the heaven, and the drought continues, they will have no way out.

Su Muyao squinted her eyes and looked at the crowd. It was obvious that this rain-praying event was a trap set for the prince.

Many of these common people were arranged by the mastermind, otherwise even ordinary people would not dare to directly shout for the prince to offer sacrifices to heaven.

Then the emperor slapped the high table.

He roared, "The Imperial Guards, arrest this nonsense man and torture him severely. I want to see who ordered it and dared to frame the prince."

Soon, the commander of the Royal Guards brought a group of people to capture the priest and all the people who came with the priest from Jiangnan.

However, the captured high priest was still shouting: "God wants to destroy our great dynasty. As the emperor of the great dynasty, you protect your own son and don't care about the lives of the common people..."

The commander who captured the high priest didn't dare to give him the chance to open his mouth again. He simply tore a piece of cloth from his body and stuffed it into the high priest's mouth.

The farce ended quickly, and the emperor simply said that he would investigate the matter and give an explanation to the people of the world.

As they watched the royal family and ministers leave one after another, the people gathered together and whispered.

Su Muyao was held in Su Lao San's arms and walked through the crowd little by little.

Su Muyao listened to everyone saying that if they offered the prince a sacrifice to the gods, the drought would end.

Su Muyao just found it ridiculous.

After returning home, Su Laosan told his family what happened at the rain-prayer ceremony today.

Old Man Su was the first to speak out: "It is obvious that someone wanted to harm the prince, which led to today's incident. How could anyone communicate with the gods?"

But after Old Man Su said this, he suddenly looked at Su Muyao again.

He was originally a non-believer, but since he had his own little girl, he gradually came to believe in the existence of God. After all, his daughter's master was most likely a god.

If you are not a god, it is impossible to have such a magical weapon.

Qin Meijuan was sitting aside, and suddenly said to Su Muyao, "Little Ancestor, it is better for you to have less contact with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the future.

Otherwise, what if the whole family is implicated?"

Qin Meijuan was really scared, because if her niece was close to the prince and the whole family was implicated, it would be a loss.

"Grandpa, grandma, I'm going back to my room first."

After saying this, the little kid jumped down from the stool and walked towards his room.

"How do you talk like that?" Boss Su suddenly patted Qin Meijuan.

Just at this moment, Qin Meijuan exploded.

He stood up and pointed at Boss Su's nose and shouted, "Am I wrong? There are so many people in our family, we can't let our whole family be implicated because our niece is close to the prince.

Besides, we are just ordinary people. There are so many dignitaries in the capital, anyone can easily crush us to death."

"That's enough. If you want to quarrel, go back to your room. Go away, go away. It gives me a headache just looking at you."

Old Mrs. Su looked at the troublesome Dafang and stood up and left.

In the imperial study of the palace, the prince stood aside, with the prime minister, the minister of rites and the imperial tutor standing just below him.

These people followed the old emperor when they were young, and when the current emperor came to the throne, they also supported him.

"What do you think?"

Several ministers simultaneously looked at the prince standing beside them.
