A few days later, good news finally came from the border town. Although the number of citizens in the two cities was as high as 5,000, their condition was at least stabilized.

However, this year, Qu Lishang could not live in the capital. His condition had only been relieved, but it had not been truly cured.

December 28th is the year-end ceremony of the Shengtian Dynasty. This year-end ceremony is just a memorial ceremony between the royal family.

The key point is to accompany the emperor to worship heaven, in order to pray that the Shengtian Dynasty will be more prosperous in the next year.

Zhai Xiying did not return home for many days. At about nine o'clock, he appeared in Lanyuan.

The Chenshi ceremony was about to begin, and it was time for them to enter the palace and prepare.

"The memorial ceremony is over, I will take you to see her!" In the past few days, Zhai Xiying was delayed because of something and could not go back home to take Youruo to the Hades Hall to share the altar.

"Yeah!" Youruo followed Zhai Xiying out of the house.

The luxurious carriage was parked at the door, and the small steps were placed on the ground, waiting for You Ruo to step up.

Entering the carriage, You Ruo saw that there were many soft cushions inside. She lay down comfortably on the soft cushions, which alleviated the bumps of the carriage.

As the carriage got closer and closer to the palace, Zhai Xiying warned: "When you see your old lover, don't keep your eyes on him again!"

Every time Zhai Xiyou appeared, Lu Youruo would always look at Zhai Xiyou without scruples, making Zhai Xiying sulky.

"Prince Ying, don't worry, I won't pluck out these two eyes even if I'm blind!"

"That's the best!"

The carriage stopped at the gate of the imperial city, and Youruo followed Zhai Xiying out of the carriage.

I followed Zhai Xiying for a long time and detoured through many palace roads before arriving at the memorial place.

There were not many people, dozens of concubines were waiting in the memorial hall, and the princes were also waiting here with their families.

Just as You Ruo and the others arrived, the emperor also arrived.

Zhai Xiying has always been a squatter, timing it just right and making her final appearance.

The memorial ceremonies were generally solemn and boring. Youruo waited for the emperor to kneel in heaven and on the ground, put incense, and then it was the queen's turn.

After the king and mother of the country paid their respects, it was the prince's turn.

First, it started with the second prince Zhai Xiyu and his family of three, and then it was the turn of Zhai Xiye and his pair of beauties.

When the fourth prince Zhai Heche's worship was over, an accident happened...

With two loud explosions, "Bang" and "Bang", the memorial platform was blown to pieces. The eunuchs standing on both sides of the memorial platform were also decapitated, their heads and hands were mutilated, and they were all bloody!

Even though Zhai Xiche could hide quickly, he still protected Lu Wanyi under his body, inserting a lot of debris behind his back.

"Your Majesty!" Lu Wanyi exclaimed.

Who would have thought that an ancestor worship platform would be blown up at the drop of a hat? Don’t the royal family always arrange the steps carefully?

"Quickly, call for the imperial doctor!" Zhai Yuan was stunned, looking at the shattered ancestor worship platform, his whole old face was gloomy!

The queen went over in panic to check on Zhai Xiche. The fourth prince was her only hope for the throne, so nothing could happen to him!

"Quickly, look at Che'er's injuries!" Zhai Yuan anxiously ordered the attending doctors.

The clothes he wore in winter were thick, but the gunpowder explosion still blew Zhai Xiche's clothes apart, and the debris was all embedded on his back.

The first thing the imperial doctor did was to check Zhai Xiche's pulse, and then opened Zhai Xiche's unconscious and tightly closed eyelids.

The old imperial doctor knelt on the ground and shouted, "Your Majesty, King Che...he...is dead!"

"Asshole, Dr. Chen, you sit in the highest position in the hospital, how can you jump to conclusions!" Queen Shenxin scolded Dr. Chen harshly.

The imperial doctor knelt on the ground and kowtowed quickly, "The Queen will atone for her sins. Prince Che should have been killed on the spot!"

The injury was so serious that even the immortal Da Luo couldn't save Zhai Xiche who was dying!

"Impossible! You quack!" The queen kicked the old doctor Chen madly.

"Queen, please forgive me!"
