Chapter 307: Sacrifice

Chapter 307

"Eldest Prince, my head hurts."

"Don't panic, let me take you back first."

Ye Qingchi no longer hesitated, carried her horizontally, put her on the carriage, and went directly back to Qingjiang Manor. Rêạd new chapters at novelhall.com

But as soon as the carriage reached the gate of the manor, Gu Ying heard the crying and shouting of the patients kneeling at the gate outside, making her head buzz.

She reached out to lift the carriage curtain, and Ye Qingchi's face sank as he stopped her.

Gu Ying leaned weakly against the carriage, looking puzzled and said softly, "Cousin, what's wrong?"

The dense crowd knelt in front of Qingjiang Manor, and recalling the recent rumors, Ye Qingchi pulled at the corner of his mouth, his eyebrows furrowed, "Don't look, I'll take you in through the back door."

Gu Ying didn't say a word, her face pale, her slender eyebrows slightly furrowed, looking like a transparent and fragile porcelain doll.

Ye Qingchi immediately ordered the driver to turn around and head for the back door. He didn't know where the voice came from, like a stone thrown into the water, instantly arousing waves.

"The Eldest Prince's Consort has finally returned!" "Everyone please ask the Consort to save us!"

"Madam, please save our lives!"

"Madam! Only you can save our lives now!"

"Don't go! If the Eldest Prince doesn't care about us, you must take care of us!"

The patients quickly surrounded them, like a tide blocking the carriage. They grabbed the shafts, and those who were emotionally excited simply took the whip from the coachman's hand. The frightened horse kept turning nervously on the spot. If it weren't for the layers of people, the horse would have run away in shock.

The carriage shook violently. Gu Ying lost her balance and had to cover her belly with both hands to protect the baby, trying to calm herself down. "Cousin, hasn't the Eldest Prince come back yet?"

Hearing the noise outside, Ye Qingchi's anger suddenly surged up.

Gu Ying listened quietly with her eyes downcast, listening carefully for a while to understand.

It turned out that someone had secretly spread the rumor that she was the Nine Yin Constitution, in order to get her to sacrifice for Yueyang.

Now that everything was revealed, it also answered the questions that had puzzled her for a long time.

She sneered and laughed lightly.

Ye Qingchi was furious when he heard this, his eyes cold, "Things that are unverified, how can you talk nonsense! Who said Sister Ying is the Nine Yin Constitution? Who spread the rumors? Who caused trouble?"

"The Eldest Prince's Consort has the fate of the unique Nine Yin Constitution. Master Ye, please don't hide it from us... We already know."

Ye Qingchi gritted his teeth and protected Gu Ying. His eyes were cold and gloomy. Just as he was about to say something, he was stopped by the person in his arms.

"Ying!" He narrowed his eyes.

Gu Ying shook her head and shouted for everyone to calm down. Her calm eyes slowly swept over the eyes eagerly hoping to survive, slowly saying, "I understand what everyone means. A hundred years ago, Yueyang City overcame a once-in-a-hundred-year drought by sacrificing with the Nine Yin and Nine Yang Constitutions. Now you want me to follow the example of the past and sacrifice as the Nine Yin Constitution to appease the gods to spare those present?"

Gu Ying smiled. All of Jiang Yin's sinister conspiracies were laid out in her mind. She was no longer as confused as being in the fog, but could clearly see through his purpose.

He had set up a big game, turned Yueyang into a graveyard, and wanted to put her and the Eldest Prince to death.

On the contrary, she felt relieved, just coldly mocking in her heart. Her lips parted slightly, but her voice was as warm as water, "I guess the Eldest Prince must be the one who can sacrifice to save everyone as the Nine Yang Constitution, right?"

Facing Gu Ying's clear eyes, everyone's eyes flickered uneasily as they averted their gazes in shame.

They knew the efforts the Eldest Prince had made for Yueyang City to get through the plague, and his Consort wasn't afraid to come to the quarantine for their sake when she was six months pregnant.

But...it was Heaven, the gods, who wanted to punish them.

If the Nine Yin and Nine Yang Constitutions were not sacrificed, the entire Yueyang City would be destroyed!
