Surprise! The Crown Princess drives a mecha into the battlefield

"Master, we have arrived at Tianque City." Xiaoyin's voice sounded again.

What? In less than a quarter of an hour, we arrived at Tianque City from the northern border?

Si Yuchen and his companions were so surprised that they couldn't believe their ears. They knew the distance from the northern border to Tianque City.

"What...what is that?"

"Oh my god, it's so big!"

The people of Tianque City had never seen such a huge monster. The huge mecha floating in the air looked like a huge mountain.

The mecha slowly landed on the ground, and the people retreated with horror on their faces.

The hatch opened, and Si Yuan and Mu Wanwan walked out first.

"It's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess!" Some people recognized them, and their fear was instantly replaced by ecstasy.

Only when Si Yuchen and others stepped on the ground did they feel the existence of their legs.

Mu Yuheng called Mu Chongli, and Mu Chongli rushed over to meet them.

The group boarded the mecha and headed towards Yunqi Village.

In just half an hour, Xiaoyin and everyone arrived at Yunqi Village.

Si Yuan put away the small silver and led a few people towards a small courtyard deep in Yunqi Village.

All the people in Yunqi Village were replaced by Si Yuan's people, and the villagers also received a large amount of compensation and left Yunqi Village.

He Chao is Si Yuan's confidant. After Si Yuan and Mu Wanwan left, He Chao was arranged to wait in Yunqi Village for the return of Si Yuan and others.

"Master, you are finally back!" He Chao stepped forward excitedly. He was from the Prince's Mansion and was arranged to leave the mansion by Si Yuan as early as when Si Yuan predicted that something was going to happen there.

"He Chao, thank you for your hard work." Si Yuan patted He Chao's shoulder, a hint of relief flashing in his eyes.

"As long as I can wait for the master to return, He Chao will not suffer."

Mu Wanwan was also very happy to return to this small courtyard. After all, this was her birthplace in this world.

Si Yuan saw her happiness and felt guilty.

When Wanwan married him, she was carried into the house in a sedan chair, without even a proper ceremony.

Mu Yuheng felt unhappy when he saw this dilapidated courtyard.

When the dog emperor issued the decree, he immediately sent someone to bring Mu Wanwan over, without even having time to prepare the dowry.

"Master, news has come from the capital that the emperor will hold a sacrificial ceremony in the royal ancestral temple tomorrow." He Chao said.

"Ancestor worship ceremony? Haha, the ancestors can't wait to crawl out and settle the score with him." Si Yuchen sneered when he heard this.

He Chao had been exchanging letters with Si Yuan for some time, so he knew Si Yuchen's identity and stepped forward to pay his respects.

"I heard that this was proposed by Ye Yan. Originally, the sacrificial ceremony was to be held in the royal mausoleum. I don't know why the emperor listened to Grand Tutor Sun and changed it to be held in the Taimiao." He Chao continued to report.

Mu Chongli frowned after hearing this. Tutor Sun was his man, so this move must have a deeper meaning.

"This sacrificial ceremony is probably not simple. Master Sun must have noticed something." Mu Chongli said.

"Who cares? We will go to the sacrificial ceremony tomorrow and teach this unfilial descendant a lesson on behalf of your Si family's ancestor." Gu Hong snorted coldly.

"The city defense forces have all been replaced. The imperial guards belong to the Ye family. Our people cannot infiltrate."

"Hehe, Si Minghui has entrusted his life to the Ye family!" Si Yuan said with a sneer. He is really not afraid of the Ye family's rebellion.

"There is one more thing, I...I don't know..."

Si Yuan's eyes glared, and he said in a deep voice, "Speak."

He Chao immediately knelt down. "It seems this sacrificial ceremony is targeting the mistress. The palace has been looted. Ye Yan and others say...that the mistress is a witch. Now the whole capital is full of rumors."

Si Yuan's face turned ashen, and the coldness emanating from his body made everyone around him shiver.

Mu Chongli and others also looked unhappy. How would the people view Wanwan if she was labeled a witch?

A witch? She became a witch?

Mu Wanwan didn't take it to heart. After all, she was not a native ancient person, and she didn't care about the title of witch.

"Bang." Gu Hong slammed the table in anger, his eyes flashing with murderous intent. "That old bastard Ye Yan dared to slander Wan Wan. I will definitely skin him alive and tear out his tendons."

"Grandpa, don't be angry. We can deal with them tomorrow." Mu Wanwan comforted.

..............................

Si Yuan, Mu Wanwan and others arrived at a city wall near the Taimiao early in the morning. Several of them held telescopes and observed the movements in front of the Taimiao.

The people of the capital also rushed to watch. After all, they were the ones who were wasting money and manpower, so they had to come and see the sacrificial ceremony.

By the way, I also pray for my family, hoping that the royal ancestors can also bless them, the common people.

Minister Ye looked gloomily at Si Minghui in front of him. He had clearly made all the arrangements. As long as the emperor left the capital, he would die.

Who knows how that old man, Tutor Sun, persuaded the emperor to change his mind, causing all his plans to go to waste.

"The sacrificial ceremony begins." The person from the Ministry of Rites announced loudly, and the crowd suddenly became quiet.

Si Minghui was dressed in gorgeous clothes, accompanied by Ye Yaru and Si Yu.

Below the altar, royal family members and officials stood on both sides.

"Is Si Minghui crazy, bringing a concubine to such an occasion for sacrifice?" Gu Hong frowned and scolded in a low voice.

No matter how high the status of a royal concubine is, she is just a concubine and cannot show her face in public in ordinary families, let alone at a royal sacrificial occasion.

"Royal brother, since it is a sacrificial ceremony, why didn't anyone inform me? Am I not a member of the royal family?" A voice suddenly sounded in the crowd, attracting everyone's attention.

The sacrificial ceremony was very quiet, but Si Yijing still used his internal strength, fearing that Si Minghui could not hear it.

When Si Minghui heard the voice, his body stiffened and he slowly turned his head, only to see Si Yijing striding into the sacrificial site.

How could he return to Beijing? Wasn't he in Yanguan?

A barely perceptible panic flashed across Si Minghui's brows, but he quickly regained his composure.

"Royal brother, the emperor didn't know you were back. Why did you come back from Yanguan? Wasn't the Wei State still invading? Why did you come back? Could it be..." Si Minghui didn't finish his words, but it was enough for everyone present to understand.

"Did Prince Jing give up Yanguan?"

"What about the people in Yanguan?"

"I never thought that Prince Jing was such a coward."

The crowd began to whisper.

"So my royal brother knows the difficulties in Yanguan. Then why didn't my royal brother receive any reinforcements even though I sent so many letters asking for help? We haven't even seen any food or supplies." Si Yijing's words made everyone present change color, and Si Minghui's face became even uglier.

Si Minghui didn't expect Si Yijing to expose him so directly. Damn Si Yijing, he was not on his side after all.

If he hadn't run to Yanguan, how could he have allowed him to live.

Why did he come back? Why didn't he die in Yanguan?
