So what if I traveled through time? I'll continue to roll in another place

Things developed as smoothly as Chu Changning had expected. However, the divination of the Imperial Astronomical Observatory did not predict that Chu Changning, as the eldest princess, was the most suitable candidate to preside over the sacrifice. Instead, it was predicted that Yin Ya, the eldest daughter of Qianshun Earl Yin Bo and the Princess of Yaohua County, would perform the sacrifice on her behalf.

Yin Hua? Where did this person come from?

Chu Changning himself was completely confused and quickly asked someone to find out.

Unexpectedly, this Yin Hua is actually quite interesting. She is the youngest daughter of Taizu Chu Guoding and Queen Yin, and the blood of Princess Heyi Chu Yunlan and Marquis Qianshun Yin Jun. Her father Yin Bo inherited the title and was named Earl Qianshun. As the eldest daughter, Yin Hua was named Princess Yaohua County.

Although they are not well-known, the Yin family is indeed the family of the former high priests. According to the bloodline of the old mother, the women of the Yin family are undoubtedly priests.

Chu Changning was both angry and annoyed. He had planned everything, but he had overlooked the existence of such a person.

After receiving the news, Gao Mao immediately went to the Grand Princess's residence to discuss it with his mother. Even with his toes, he knew that this was the work of Prime Minister Song Pu.

Song Pu must have made every possible preparation. Miss Yin has been well protected, and it is too late for them to take action.

It has to be said that Song Pu is quite capable in countering each other's moves and cutting off the source of the problem.

The sacrificial ceremony was a matter of great importance. It was also Chu Changning's first appearance as the former "future crown princess" returning to the political stage, and there could be no room for any mistakes.

Unexpectedly, an inexplicable woman named Yin suddenly appeared and disrupted Chu Changning's entire plan.

Song Pu even murderously asked Duke Yiguo's Mansion to assist in the sacrificial ceremony. In order to seek an opportunity, Chu Changning returned to Duke Yiguo's Mansion with humiliation and carefully prepared many matters for the sacrificial ceremony, as if Chu Changning and Gao Wei had never had any grudges.

In order to ensure the solemnity of the sacrifice, Chu Changning discussed repeatedly with officials from the Ministry of Rites, discussing every detail.

The stage has been set, no matter who opens the show, Chu Changning will be the undisputed protagonist. Chu Changning doesn't take that messy Yin Hua seriously at all.

Gao Mao sent people to closely monitor the movements of the aristocratic families in the capital to prevent any changes.

The stone tablet of the Fengshan ceremony at Zixiao Mountain was shaken, and Teng Daisheng, the prefect of Yueyun, personally offered the stone tablet to Beijing to participate in the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the sky. After the ceremony, he will escort the stone tablet of Taizu's Fengshan ceremony and the newly engraved stone tablet back to Zixiao Mountain.

Seeing that the sacrificial ceremony had been prepared and only waiting for Teng Daisheng to lead his troops to escort the Zixiao Mountain Fengshan Stele to Beijing, the big show that Chu Changning had been longing for could finally begin.

Now Chu Changning's intentions are as obvious as Sima Zhao's, and the perceptive ministers in the court have already noticed this.

Zhou Yao's reputation had risen greatly due to his previous argument. Combined with the actions of the Grand Princess's Mansion, some people with ulterior motives had already classified the Xiao family as the Grand Princess's party, and the number of exchanges of congratulations suddenly decreased a lot.

Xiao Yueshan was also vaguely uneasy. Rebellion has been difficult since ancient times, and it is even more dangerous when it is led by a woman. She knew that being labeled as "the Grand Princess's party" was not a good thing, but now no matter what she did, it would only make things worse. She could only pretend to be deaf and dumb.

Xiao Yueshan was feeling very nervous. On the eve of the sacrifice ceremony, the Zhou Mansion welcomed a guest who had not been seen for a long time.

"Your servant, Wang Huai'en, the eunuch in charge of Shou'an Palace, pays a visit to Lord Zhou and Madam Zhou." Unexpectedly, when Wang Huai'en came to visit, the person dressed as a palace maid following behind him was actually Madam Shen, the Protector of the Country and the God of Fortune.

What kind of important matter was it that required Shen to come out of the palace to visit?

Xiao Yueshan hurriedly welcomed the two into the inner room, "Hello, Madam. I wonder why you are visiting me so late at night?" She asked Shu Tong to take the other maids and servants downstairs, and personally served tea to Shen.

Shen looked at Zhou Yao warily. Zhou Yao didn't have a good impression of this noble visitor who came suddenly. Although he realized that the other party wanted him to avoid him, he still sat down in the inner room for the sake of his wife's safety.

Wang Huai'en on the side looked at the handsome, resolute and bookish man with amusement, and his eyes looked back and forth between Zhou Yao and Xiao Yueshan.

Seeing that Zhou Yao was unwilling to leave, Shen Shi didn't care about that anymore. She pulled Xiao Yueshan to sit next to her and said bluntly, "You know Chu Changning wants to rebel, right?"

Xiao Yueshan didn't know what Shen's intention was, so she evaded the question, "I don't know. The Grand Princess wouldn't let anyone else know about such a secret."

"Now that you know, what do you think?" Shen was as direct as ever. She didn't care what Xiao Yueshan thought. She just came to get an attitude.

"Me? I don't have any idea. Madam knows that I studied management. My family background is not high, so it's useless." Xiao Yueshan wondered why Shen Shi was involved in Chu Changning's affairs. According to her idea, Shen Shi should hold on to the towering tree of the little emperor tightly and be a staunch royalist like Prime Minister Song Pu. This time, coming at night should not be an invitation to her to rebel together, so she still planned to play Tai Chi.

"You are of no use, but your husband is." Shen pouted her lips in dissatisfaction. "Your tricks can fool the ancients, but you don't think you can fool me with the law of gravity?" Shen said this. In fact, she didn't quite understand Xiao Yueshan's magical changes at first, but there were also women with science and engineering majors among the detained women before. After they explained it to her, she understood it, and deduced that Zhou Yao must have traveled through time as well.

"Madam, you're joking. We are just ordinary people. We don't have any ability." Xiao Yueshan laughed dryly and tried to play dumb.

Seeing this, Shen didn't beat around the bush and said directly: "I don't care what your purpose is, I just want to protect the emperor. Chu Changning has evil ambitions. If she succeeds, the emperor will surely die. I hope you can stand on the side of the emperor. As for the inappropriate thoughts and techniques that shouldn't be used indiscriminately, it's best not to let others know." She looked at Zhou Yao meaningfully.

Xiao Yueshan and Zhou Yao looked at each other, and both remained silent. They certainly didn't want to get involved in this fight, but given the current situation, it seemed like they couldn't stay out of it.

"I don't have time to think about it." Shen stood up, "I hope you make the right choice."

"We don't want to get involved in court affairs, nor do we want to take part in treason. Madam can rest assured about this. We also hope that when the reckoning comes in the future, we will not be counted as part of the Grand Princess's party." Xiao Yueshan said to Wang Huai'en who was standing next to Shen.

Wang Huai'en is Chu Yuanming's man. Since Shen and Wang Huai'en knew about Chu Changning's rebellion plan, Chu Yuanming must have been prepared. Xiao Yueshan was sure that Chu Changning's rebellion would most likely fail.

Shen nodded, "That's great." She looked at Zhou Yao, "Master Zhou, what do you think?"

Zhou Yao looked at Xiao Yueshan and said, "My husband and I will certainly not participate in treason."

Shen nodded slightly, "Okay, then I will trust you this time. If I find out in the future that you are involved with Chu Changning, don't blame me for being cruel." After that, she took Wang Huai'en away from Zhou Mansion.

After Shen left, Xiao Yueshan and Zhou Yao fell into deep thought. They knew that they could no longer remain unscathed and had to find a way to deal with the situation that was about to happen.

"It seems we have to be more careful." Xiao Yueshan said softly.

Zhou Yao held her hand and said, "Don't be afraid, I'll take care of everything. We just need to wait and see what happens and protect ourselves."

However, what they didn't know was that a bigger storm was about to come...
