Meng Yinqin silently took the jade seal and slowly passed through the ancestral door that was rumored to be inaccessible even to the chosen ones.
Zang Haichuan, who originally thought that all this would be over, didn't even have time to wipe his sweat when he heard the door of the ancestral hall making a "click" sound when Meng Yinqin passed through.
"What's going on?"
"what happened?"
"Why is that door... Could it be that the person in front of me is not real..."
Just as the voices of discussion started to rise, the door of the ancestral hall, which had been manipulated and determined by the emperor and the prince to be safe, suddenly ignited a flame, burning the transparent films wrapped around it.
.
Black smoke suddenly shot into the sky from the altar.
"this……"
Seeing the door of the ancestral hall burning automatically, everyone present gasped in shock.
"I heard that only when the false inheritors of the moon mark pass through this door, it will burn!"
"But you see, it seems that what burned on that door was not the person, but... something on its own body?"
Even the prince, who had not gone far, turned around and was shocked and frightened when he saw this scene.
This was something that his father and he had studied for several years before finding a way to make it. Once it was covered on the surface of an object, it was almost invisible to the naked eye.
But when it is burned, it can be seen clearly.
So all the courtiers present could clearly see the door of the ancestral hall, which was twice wrapped in film.
"Well……"
Needless to say, everyone knew that this was probably the reason why the prince dared to take the jade seal and prepare to pass through the door.
It turns out that the reason why the emperor decided to sacrifice and inherit the throne after so many years was because he was looking for a way to hide it from the door!
But obviously, they failed!
Some people finally couldn't help but sigh: "It really is the final level to test the bloodline inheritance!"
"If you are not the true inheritor of Yuehen, how can you pass through that door?"
"It seems that there is no way to hide it!"
Zang Haichuan was also shocked.
Thick black smoke enveloped Meng Yinqin's figure. Qin Jiaoxi and Bo Jiming were so nervous that they were about to step forward to rescue them, but they were grabbed by Han Zhan.
"Don't worry, it's just smoke!"
Meng Yinqin is not a fool. If he is really burned, will he just stand there and wait to be burned?
Zang Xi gritted his teeth and looked at the scene behind him.
Before the sacrifice, he had obviously tried countless times with his father. Once the door of the ancestral hall was wrapped with this film, even a young eunuch, let alone a prince with royal blood, could easily pass through the door.
But what is going on in the current scene?
Why does that door actually burn on the day of sacrifice?
The black smoke dissipated quickly.
The film wrapped around the door of the ancestral hall was burned until only layers of black ashes fell to the ground.
And Meng Yinqin, who happened to be standing under the door, was still holding the jade seal in both hands, safe and sound.
Seeing the flames disappear and the black smoke disperse, Meng Yinqin slowly raised his head, looking at the gate of the ancestral hall with a trace of surprise in his eyes.
He didn't feel much before he stepped through the door.
But at this moment, when he stepped into this place again, he could feel some force on his shoulders pressing him down.
Meng Yinqin walked slowly through the door, and the strength on his shoulders disappeared instantly.
The gate of the ancestral hall neither caught fire nor burned again.
Meng Yinqin successfully walked to the ancestral hall and knelt down to worship his ancestors.
Not far away, no matter how unwilling he was, Zang Xi couldn't help but feel happy in his heart. If Meng Yinqin didn't show up today, if it was him who walked through the door just now...
But even so, knowing that Meng Yinqin is the real person chosen by Yuehen to inherit the bloodline, the power he has gained in the past six years has left different thoughts in the heart of the prince.
"Why do royal sacrifices have to go through a door?"
"And why does my inheritance of the throne, Yanchu, have to be determined by Yueyuehen?"
"Why can't we make it simpler for the king of Yanchu State to select the royal heirs on the basis of merit like other countries do?"
Zang Xi narrowed his eyes. If he can create such a precedent, will it prove that his ability is not weaker than Meng Yinqin?
So it’s the inheritance method that’s wrong, not him!
Thinking of this, Zang Xi continued to turn around and leave the royal altar.
As soon as he left, several courtiers who clearly supported the prince and were particularly strong could not help but leave quietly.
In the past six years, they had done a lot of things to help the prince, and a few of them were even aware of some of Zang Xi Yuehen's changes.
What should we do if the new emperor wants to hold them accountable?
It's better to take a step away and make arrangements for the aftermath...
So the Yanchu royal family's sacrifice, which started with great vigor, ended in an almost silent way.
Except for a few old ministers who had met Meng Yinqin ten years ago, the others present were all young ministers who had recently joined the court.
More than twenty civil and military officials who supported the prince disappeared in advance.
Zang Haichuan: "..."
That’s all.
At least he still stands in the position of Supreme Emperor. Even if Meng Yinqin wants to get angry and target his ministers, he can still say something nice.
Qin Jiaoxi and Bo Jiming, who were watching the ceremony, breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the sacrifice completed and Meng Yinqin taking over the hat representing the throne.
Bo Jiming whispered: "Now I don't have to worry anymore!"
Qin Jiaoxi: "What are you worried about?"
Bo Jiming shrugged and didn't answer.
Han Zhan on the side said with a rude touch: "Oh, it's too early for you to feel relieved!"
"Now that she no longer has the title of princess and does not have to fulfill her promise of getting married, do you think that with her newly promoted status as a princess, can she still get married?"
Bo Jiming: "???"
Thinking about it carefully, it seems so?
Now that the Yanchu Kingdom has witnessed the birth of the heir of the princess who was married outside, how could they possibly marry the princess out again?
Bo Jiming: "!!!"
Han Zhan turned to look at him with a smile: "Don't worry, although our princess can't marry outside, it doesn't mean that your kid can't marry in!"
Bo Jiming: "..."
It's so difficult for him, and the situation seems to be getting more and more out of control.
If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have grown up with Xi'er, would it have been better to just pack her up and take her away and grow up slowly?
Before they could talk any more, the Supreme Emperor had arranged for someone to come over and take them away from the royal altar.
"The sacrifice is over, please follow me back to the palace first!"
The old eunuch Chen Eunuch, who had followed Zang Haichuan for decades, came over and said: "When the new emperor returns to the palace, tell the emperor and the queen mother their identities, and then choose an auspicious day to come to the ancestral hall to kneel and worship!"
Several people who followed Meng Yinqin appeared. Except for the Han miracle doctor, the young man, woman and old eunuch could not figure out for a while whether they were Meng Yinqin's son or daughter or what their identity was.
Although I heard that the regent of Dazhao Kingdom has no heirs, the two countries are far apart after all, so there may be errors in the news?
So we can only take it back to the palace first and make other arrangements.
