Become a founding empress in ancient times with the system

In just a short while, the fire in the middle of the palace banquet was burning fiercely, and the women and children who were driven to the center could only cry silently.

However, there was only a group of people in gorgeous clothes enjoying themselves with burning eyes around them. Suddenly, a young man from an unknown family stood up.

He walked up and pulled a woman out from among the crowd, and took her to sit down.

The most prosperous place in Jingguo is also the most decadent place. Beneath the bright and beautiful appearance, there is a rotten stench.

Sheng Changan knew that Liu Zhao had deliberately brought this matter to her attention. In that case...

Her eyes and brows were cold, as if nothing around her had disturbed her at all. She even had the leisure to pour out the wine in front of her and ignored Liu Zhao's ashen face.

He filled the glass with wine again, raised his hand, and lightly touched the glass with his lips. His sleeves covered his eyes perfectly.

Liu Zhao noticed her movements and asked, "Master Sheng, what do you think of this dish?"

After hearing Liu Zhao's words, Sheng Changan put down the wine glass in his hand, took out a brocade handkerchief from his sleeve with his right hand, gently wiped his lips, and said indifferently, "It's nothing."

Liu Zhao's hand, which was originally shaking the wine glass, paused. He had thought that these lowly people could control Sheng Changan, but unexpectedly, she was indifferent.

He still had to test it out. He put down the wine in his hand and said, "It may not be clear here. Lord Sheng, why don't you look forward?"

"Don't worry, Lord Liu. My eyesight is very good," Sheng Changan said without giving in.

Liu Zhao sneered, "Master Sheng just spoke so nicely, and I've heard rumors that Master Sheng loves his people so much. But seeing this scene, he still stood by and watched them die without helping? It seems that's all he can do."

Sheng Changan just sat up straight, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth and his eyes smiling, but upon closer inspection, his eyes revealed a deep coldness.

He tapped the tabletop lightly with his index finger knuckles, looked at Liu Zhao, and said in a clear voice: "Those with virtue will prosper, and those without virtue will perish. Cannibalism violates the harmony of heaven and will be punished by heaven. If heaven does not help, my life will be in danger."

Taking Wu Shi San and eating human flesh does not mean that he thinks his life is too long. What she said is not wrong.

"I suspect these cannibals will not live long. Isn't this a punishment from heaven?"

Sheng Changan deliberately emphasized the last two words, and as soon as he said this, the noisy sound suddenly stopped.

These noble families also knew what Liu Zhao was thinking. Although they seemed to be enjoying themselves during this conversation, in fact, everyone was paying close attention.

Although they ignore worldly matters and eating human flesh is just a trivial matter in their eyes, when it comes to their own lives, no one doesn't care.

And... could this really be a divine punishment? Could the original prophecy be true?

Sheng Changan was very satisfied with the words she had said, although she had never seen any temple here. Even if she saw one occasionally, it was tattered and its original appearance could not be seen.

But, it is precisely because there is no such thing that it best proves the superstition of these people.

Not to mention ancient times, even in modern times, there are many people who pray to gods and Buddhas, let alone ancient times.

Rich people are always rare, no matter what era it is.

Liu Zhao's face darkened. He hadn't expected this man to be so difficult to deal with. His eyes moved slightly as he spoke slowly, "I never believed in fate."

Sheng Changan just smiled lightly, curled the corners of his lips slightly, and said nothing.

How could someone who doesn't believe in fate act like he cares so much? It's more like he believes in it too much that he wants to pretend that he doesn't care.
