Chapter 424: Chapter 419 Brothers United

The Emperor was delighted to hear this and approved the Second Prince's request. The Second Prince had set off to the Sacrificial Palace before the palace gates were locked today.

Nines Prince got the news only after he had left.

Blood sacrifice, a scary-sounding ritual where one cuts their wrist with a knife during a sacrifice, drops a bit of blood into a wine bowl, and then pours the wine into the ground, symbolizing an offering to the god of heavens.

Ninth Prince was also aware of Master Wu Zhi's prophecy, 'Snow quickly ends as the year ends, clears as the month ends', and suspected whether the Second Prince knew the exact time when the snow would stop. He immediately went to request the Emperor, expressing his regret for the people's suffering and the Emperor's hard work, and wished to conduct the blood sacrifice alongside Second Prince. After permission was granted, he hurriedly followed to the Sacrificial palace.
