Chapter 1296 The Backlash of Large-scale Blood Sacrifice

Rui’an Great Elder Princess knew Shao Wanru wanted to relieve her stress. Helplessly, she took the soup. After taking a sip, she smiled and touched Shao Wanru’s head. Unlike Qinghua, Shao Wanru had a prepared mind. Since she believed Chu Liuchen would not be reckless, Rui’an Great Elder Princess thought she might wait for some time. Even if it didn’t work out, she would protect her granddaughter at the cost of her life.

It didn’t take long for them to receive the message sent from Chu Liuchen. Ruiping Great Elder Princess had died, but traces of poison had been found in her sleeve. That was to say, Ruiping Great Elder Princess had brought the poison into the Palace and taken it herself.

How audacious was she to take poison before the Imperial Study? Did she do it to curse the Emperor? Thinking back on this matter carefully, the Emperor was furious. Ruiping Great Elder Princess died, but many people were in her mansion. As a result, an imperial edict was sent to the Ruiping Great Elder Princess’ Mansion. All people there were reprimanded and punished. Some descendants with official positions were demoted.

The Ruiping Great Elder Princess’ Mansion was also taken back.

The Duke Pingxing’s Mansion was also implicated because it was connected to Ruiping Great Elder Princess by marriage.

Rui’an Great Elder Princess was delighted with this result and returned to her mansion happily.

The matter was settled. Temporarily relieved, Shao Wanru only wanted to wait for Chu Liuchen to come back and ask about the specific situation.

She didn’t expect to wait until very late at night. Under the dim light, she couldn’t help falling asleep.

When Chu Liuchen was back, he took a bath and cautiously climbed onto the bed without any noise. But as the bed slightly vibrated, Shao Wanru opened her sleepy eyes. For a moment, she was still in a daze and looked very lovable.

Chu Liuchen held her in his arms and looked at her face. Since she had just woken up, her fair and tender face glowed a little. She was exceedingly beautiful under the light.

“What happened?” Shao Wanru pulled herself together and opened her eyes again. This time, she sobered up a little. Looking at the length of the candle, she asked, “Any unexpected news about Ruiping Great Elder Princess?”

“No, it was not about her. Uncle the Emperor doesn’t feel very well!” Chu Liuchen said. After suffering one blow after another, the Emperor was getting worse and worse, and he almost couldn’t hold on and go to see officials in the imperial court. “These officials ask to appoint a crown prince!”

“Chu Liuyue?” Shao Wanru felt more awake.

“Chu Liuyue!” Chu Liuchen said lightly and reached out to tuck her in.

“What should we do?” Shao Wanru asked and grasped Chu Liuchen’s hand, too flustered to hide her terrified look. She trembled slightly. In her previous life, Chu Liuchen killed her. Would the same tragedy happen in this life?

For them, anyone else would be a better crown prince than Chu Liuyue. Since her rebirth, Chu Liuyue had become a demon about her last life in her heart.

“There’s no hurry. Don’t be afraid!” Sensing that Shao Wanru panicked, Chu Liuchen softly appeased and gently patted her, his eyes dark and deep. “Why are you afraid of him?”

“Why? In my previous life, Chu Liuyue conspired with Shao Yanru to murder me and ordered someone to cut me in half at the waist.” She knew no one would believe it, even if she wanted to tell the truth.

How could she know about her previous life? It was because she had clear and identical memories. Otherwise, even she herself wouldn’t have believed it.

“I once had a dream…” Shao Wanru chose her words with care. Then, she bit her lip. These things were really not easy to explain.

Chu Liuchen didn’t say anything and quietly waited for her to continue.

She reached out and held his big hand, letting her tender fingers grip his slim fingers. With their fingers intertwined, she could feel his warmth and gained the courage to go on speaking.

“I once had a dream… In the dream, Chu Liuyue and Shao Yanru joined hands and killed me… I… I was cut in two at the waist!” The last sentence put a tremendous strain on her. As if a heavy weight had been pressed down on her heart, she felt so overburdened that she could hardly make a sound. This tragic end had been a heavy load for her. Also, it was the conclusion of her previous life.

Chu Liuchen touched her beautiful hair and chuckled, “Don’t worry. It’s all fake. A dream, after all. Besides, even if it’s real, so what? I’m here. What was I doing in your dream?”

“What did he do in my dream?” She didn’t know the answer. But it seemed she could guess it. She bit her lip and said, “If… I mean, if they murdered me, what… what would you do?”

They must have met each other in her last life! However, for some reason, the memories about them had been erased.

“I won’t let anyone hurt you!” Chu Liuchen said.

“What if… Well, if I didn’t marry you at that time… But you treated me very well. Then… They killed me?” Shao Wanru insisted on getting an answer. She looked up and fixed her eyes on Chu Liuchen. At this moment, the discomfort caused by Chu Liuyue was significantly reduced.

“You didn’t marry me, but I treated you well. That means I wanted to marry you. Although it is not perfectly justifiable…” Chu Liuchen paused as if he was thinking about this possibility.

“Not perfectly justifiable? Was that why he failed to protect me in time?” Her heart trembled violently, and tears immediately welled up in her eyes.

Seeing Shao Wanru cry, Chu Liuchen got into a panic and repeatedly assured her, “Such a thing won’t happen. It won’t happen again. I promise!”

“What… what if something bad happens to me?” Shao Wanru asked. She insisted on getting the answer to the doubts in her previous life. It seemed that she could find answers to all the unclear questions.

“If you suffered, I would definitely avenge you and place my hope on the next life. In the next life, I would find you and would never let you get hurt again. No one could lay their hands on you again!” Chu Liuchen said in a hurry, his handsome face full of distress. He put down his hand, patted her back, and hugged her tightly.

“Looking forward to the next life? It’s… it’s impossible!” Stunned, Shao Wanru wiped away her tears and said. However, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t dry her eyes with tears that fell like falling rain. She had no choice but to continue wiping her tears.

“Why is it impossible? There is a method from the Xu State!” Seeing that she was still crying, Chu Liuchen kissed the corners of her eyes and said gently, “A method from the Xu State could place hope in the next life!”

“A way from the Xu State?” Shao Wanru was shocked as if something had erupted in her mind.

She knew Chu Liuchen and Princess Yutao had secretly cooperated with each other. Princess Yutao returned to the Xu State after Princess Yuyan got married. She should have returned to the Xu State long ago. Chu Liuchen had told her that Princess Yutao gained the upper hand in the competition for the crown in her country. Compared with the First Prince, she had more supporters.

“Does the Xu State have any solution?” Shao Wanru asked eagerly.

“There is a Grand Witch in the tribe of Xu State Empress. According to Princess Yutao, the Grand Witch can use the blood of those related to the deceased person by blood and offer up a sacrifice for reincarnation. In this way, I can give up my great fate in exchange for our reunion in the next life.” Chu Liuchen didn’t take Princess Yutao’s words seriously, but to comfort Shao Wanru, he told her everything he knew about it.

“A blood sacrifice?” Shao Wanru asked in a trembling voice.

“Yes, that’s right. A lot of people should join in the sacrifice. Moreover, their good fortune and fate should also be sacrificed!” Chu Liuchen added lazily. He felt this matter was nonsense. The Xu State in the wilderness had many weird things, like these strange herbs and the so-called blood sacrifice.

As Shao Wanru shivered, Chu Liuchen thought she was scared. “It’s okay. It’s difficult for ordinary people to meet all these requirements. The great fate is the most critical thing, which is not something that ordinary people can have. Besides, there are other blood sacrifices and the blood of relatives of the deceased people. The blood of many people must be mixed up together. The whole process is for an illusory path of reincarnation. It is like a Buddhist phrase: cultivating for the next life, not for this life.”

Someone voluntarily gave up the great fate in this life for achievements in the vague and insubstantial next life. How could there be such a person in this world? Chu Liuchen regarded it as a joke. He heard it casually when Princess Yutao told him about the anecdotes of the Xu State, so he didn’t take it seriously.

However, Shao Wanru was all tears and clutched Chu Liuchen’s clothes tightly with both hands. “So, was he the person who brought me back to life? A great fate. He might have become the crown prince or the emperor back them. How could anyone in this world have a more extraordinary fate than him? He acted as the medium. Shao Yanru did the blood sacrifice. So many people’s lives were taken. All of this was done to pave the way for my rebirth.

“No wonder his eyes were filled with darkness, despair, and blood-lust killing intentions.

“I was dead, so did he destroy the whole world?”

That was an illusory method. She could feel that he just made some tongue-in-cheek remarks. How could someone like him believe in the path of reincarnation and the hearsay about the next life? Anyway, he still believed it in her last life. Even if there was only a little possibility, he still did it.

She couldn’t stop crying, with the sadness, pity, and desolation of two lives.

Did she get her rebirth because of the gigantic upheaval he brought to the world? He had done so much for her, but she had forgotten about him. Was this also a punishment for him after the blood sacrifice?

She had been cut in half at the waist, and he made a blood sacrifice at the cost of the world. Even though he had an extraordinary fate, he still suffered and paid for such a destructive activity. As a result, he disappeared from her memory, and she couldn’t remember everything related to him.

She remembered everything but only forgot about him. This was so unfair to him…

“What’s wrong? Terrified? Noting serious. It was only a casual talk. I don’t believe it and certainly won’t do it. It’s enough for me to have you!” Chu Liuchen was frightened as she nearly cried her heart out. He had been careless and languid, but now he looked pretty nervous. He reached out and picked her up. Seeing that she cried too bitterly to open her eyes, he asked anxiously.

“I… I’m fine… I’ll be fine…” Shao Wanru sobbed out, trying her best to finish her words. She would be fine and would not let him do this again. Sure enough, she would engrave him on her heart.

“Okay, alright. You’ll be fine. I know. Don’t cry. It’s bad for your health if you keep crying like this.” Chu Liuchen comforted her softly and said everything that could appease her.

“Tomorrow… Let’s go to worship the Buddha tomorrow. And.. go… go to redeem the vow in the Huaguang Temple!” Shao Wanru said in tears.

“Okay, okay. I’ll go with you tomorrow!” Chu Liuchen wiped her tears with distress and repeatedly agreed. There was a slight twinge of remorse on his handsome face. He had no idea what he said that made her so sad.
