"You wait for me here, and I'll be back when I go."

She hurriedly told Shuang Cheng, climbed through the window and chased him out.

Wei Yixue was followed by a group of guards, and the scene was quite grand. Passers-by saw her and bowed their heads to give way.

When passing by a clothing store, she quickly changed into ordinary clothes and came out.

Disguise yourself as a passerby and blend in with the crowd to get information.

"What is the identity of that woman? It's so grand."

Wei Ran asked casually to the passers-by.

"Even she doesn't know, you just came to the capital, right?"

"Yes, I came from the countryside, but where we are, even the county guard doesn't have such pomp and circumstance!" Wei Ran pretended to be envious.

"Don't be envious. She is the most favored princess of Leping County today. After being a martyr, she has a noble status. How can it be compared to a small county governor!"

"After the martyr?"

"Isn't that right? The Wei family is full of loyal people. Princess Leping is the only bloodline of the Wei family. She is deeply loved by the people and is even favored by the Holy Emperor."

Princess Leping?A murderer can live such a comfortable life and be loved by others. God really doesn't care.

It's okay, if the weather doesn't work, she will come to collect it sooner or later.

"It is rumored that the reason why Princess Leping was not given the title of princess is because the Holy Emperor wanted her to be the prince's concubine."

The Holy Emperor is generous and never prevents people from talking about the royal family. Because of this, speech in the Holy Kingdom is relatively free, and the people's support for the Holy Emperor is also very high.

"Princess Leping is kind-hearted, gentle and virtuous. I don't know which prince is so lucky."

Kind hearted?

Oh, if murdering a cousin is considered kind, then it is indeed "kind".

Wei Ran sneered secretly.

"I heard that he is going to be betrothed to Lord Luoyang. The imperial order will be issued after the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven is over."

A ceremony to worship heaven?

Wei Ran caught the key words.

I wanted to continue talking, but seeing Wei Yixue's guard of honor drifting away, I could only give up and follow quickly.

Wei Yixue finally walked into the most famous Yunlai Restaurant in the Holy Capital City.

Wei Ran wanted to follow him, but found that Yunlai Restaurant only accepted dignitaries who had made reservations. Without identity or invitations, he could not enter.

Just as she was worryingly thinking about whether to climb in through the window on the side, she heard a familiar call.

"Wei Ran? Why are you here?"

She looked back and saw Shu Yining looking at her in surprise.

Shu Yining immediately pulled her aside: "Aren't you supposed to be practicing in the academy, and you sneaked out?"

Wei Ran didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "It's a long story. Why are you here?"

"My useless nephew bullied his grandson in school. I don't want to hold a banquet to apologize to him."

"Having a banquet here?" Wei Ran's eyes immediately lit up, "Then can you take me in?"

Shu Yining: "Of course, but you."

"Hurry up, let's go." Wei Ran urged impatiently.

Shu Yining had no choice but to take her inside.

"Did you come here to do something?"

Wei Ran nodded and pushed her to the private room: "You go greet your guests and don't worry about me. I'll just go out later."

"Then, okay." Shu Yining said helplessly, "If you need anything, come to me anytime."

Then he turned around and entered the private room.

Wei Ran immediately searched for Wei Yixue in the store, but there was no trace.

Just when she was melancholy, she saw another familiar person.

Wei Tong and a housekeeper were walking hurriedly to the private room on the second floor.

Isn't she at the academy?Why does it appear here?It doesn't look like he got lost.

Moreover, she did not take Lian Nu with her today. In the past, Lian Nu would never leave her side.

Wei Ran followed immediately and saw Wei Tong walking into the private room at the end of the corridor.

She tentatively pushed the door of the private room next door and found that no one was there, so she slipped in and put her ear to the wall to eavesdrop on the conversation between Wei Tong and others.

"Practice ended late today. It took some time. I'm late. I hope the princess will forgive me."

"It's okay, Miss Wei, please sit down."

Princess? !
The person Wei Tong wanted to see turned out to be Wei Yixue.

How could the two of them contact each other privately?

Wei Ran still listened carefully, fearing that he would miss any news.

After the two exchanged pleasantries, they got to the point.

"Miss Wei, I asked you what you asked me to do a few days ago."

"How?" Wei Tong's voice was obviously anxious.

"The Heavenly Master's reply is that the list has been decided and the destiny of heaven cannot be violated."

"Why? I can ask someone to find a replacement with the exact same birthday and horoscope. Is it true that I can't be accommodating?"

After Wei Tong finished speaking, there was a long silence.

"I understand, thank you, Princess, I will do it as originally arranged."

Then I heard Wei Yixue say indifferently: "Miss Wei, you have always been calm in handling matters, that's why I dare to hand over this matter to the Wei family. I would like to advise you, don't lose the big for the small."

After a long time, Wei Tong responded: "Yes, thank you very much, Princess."

"Your Majesty entrusts you with the coordination of such a major event as offering sacrifices to heaven. It is both an honor and a test. As long as you do it well, not to mention that your position as heir is unshakable, and the entire Wei family will be honored because of you."

sacrifice to heaven?

Suddenly there was a noise of people outside. Someone was walking to the box here. It seemed that a guest had arrived.

Wei Ran immediately retreated to the balcony, wanting to see if he could find a suitable hiding place, but found two guards standing on the balcony of the box where Wei Yixue was.

To avoid being discovered, she could only climb down to the first floor along the balcony.

When Shu Yining came out, there was a carriage at the door. As soon as she got on the carriage, she was startled.

Wei Ran covered her mouth tightly and made a silencing gesture.

"Don't shout, it's me."

Shu Yining felt relieved, and Wei Ran also let go of his hand.

"Why are you sneaking around all night? You're not doing anything to commit murder or arson, are you?"

"How dare I kill someone and set him on fire?" Wei Ran said with a smile, "It's just a matter of eavesdropping on the corner."

"Oh?" She immediately became interested, "But I heard that the young master Hongxing from another family was cheating on her?"

"That's not true." Wei Ran lowered his voice and asked, "I want to ask you about something. Have you heard about offering sacrifices to heaven?"

"Yes." Shu Yining answered without thinking.

"You don't know that there has been a lot of talk about the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony recently?"

Wei Ran was stunned. Could it be that there was too little information in the academy?

"I really don't know, please tell me quickly."

"No way?" Shu Yining looked unbelieving, "Your Wei family is personally organizing this heaven-sacrifice ceremony. Do you really not know?"

Wei Ran said speechlessly: "My dear Miss Shu, you also know that I don't have a good relationship with my family, so don't show off."

Seeing that she was serious, Shu Yining told her what she knew in detail.

"Sacrifice to heaven is held once a year, but the grand ceremony only happens once every ten years. Every grand ceremony is usually held by a family designated by the Holy Emperor. This time, the Holy Emperor originally appointed Princess Leping to host it, and Princess Leping chose from thousands of people. , actually chose the Wei family to take charge of the operation, I don’t know what the princess thinks, you obviously just lost the head of the family."

Wei Ran understood immediately.

Wei Yixue wanted to win over the Wei family for her own use.

Without the head of the family, the Wei family has nothing to do.
