At this time, there was a lot of traffic outside the gate of the palace, and more and more people came to congratulate them. Even Prince Xiang Chen Yixuan also came. I saw him wearing a moonlight gown, which made his appearance more gentle and elegant, with jade trees in the wind, and also came with him. King Xiang and King Yue started chatting with each other as soon as they met.
In Tinglanxuan, Nangong Yu frowned and stared at the woman on the bed. Her long eyelashes were trembling slightly, but she was always hovering on the edge of waking up. It could be seen from her expression that she seemed to be in pain, and her brows were sometimes tightened. The lock stretched from time to time, and occasionally let out a low groan of pain.
"How is she?" Nangong Yu asked in a deep voice when he saw Doctor Li checking her pulse.
After Imperial Physician Li took back the gauze folded on Princess Lu Yuan's wrist, he saluted Nangong Yu and said comfortingly: "In response to what the prince said, this girl fell from a high cliff and suffered a severe brain concussion. It is already a miracle that she can survive. However, since there are signs of awakening, the prince does not need to worry too much. I will wait for the old minister to write another prescription and continue to take the medicine. When the girl wakes up, the old minister will come to check her pulse."
Nangong Yu nodded slightly, walked a few steps to the bed and sat down, while Doctor Li put away the medicine box and slowly exited the door.[
"Hey", Nangong Yu looked at Lu Yuan for a long time. There were too many words in his heart but finally turned into a sigh. Lu Yuan, a silly girl, traveled thousands of miles to find him alone. If the people he sent out hadn't found her in time, I'm afraid he didn't think about it any more and looked at Lu Yuan with a rare soft look.
"Brother Yu, brother Yu, don't go, don't leave me," the person on the bed murmured weakly, but she still closed her eyes, seemingly unable to escape the nightmare.
Nangong Yu raised his hand, gently touched her forehead, and whispered: "I am here, I will not leave, and I will not leave you."
"Brother Yu, why did you marry another woman? You clearly promised Kehan and you lied to me." Suddenly, the expression on the bed became even more painful, his brows were furrowed, and a crystal fell from his eyelids.
Nangong Yu's hand touching her forehead suddenly froze. He took a deep breath, stretched it out again, and slowly stood up. The bright red wedding dress was particularly eye-catching in the room, "Brother Yu always has too many things." I'm sorry, Su Ya," he called softly, pretending to look over his shoulder at the person on the bed. Su Ya was her maiden name, and Lu Yuan was her title.
"Su Ya, I hope you can understand Brother Yu's difficulties."
Su Ya's excitement slowly subsided, and after a while, she fell into a drowsy state, no longer murmuring, her brows relaxed, and there seemed to be a faint smile on the corner of her mouth. Nangong Yu saw that Su Ya's mood had stabilized. , smiled lightly, bent down and gently raised his hand to scratch the bridge of Su Ya's nose, "Su Ya, be good."
Suddenly, there was a sound of soft footsteps outside the door. Qing Niao walked quickly to the door and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the guests have already arrived. If you don't go out, I'm afraid you will attract criticism." He did not continue. The prince should understand various reasons.
Nangong Yu instantly put away his smile, returned to a cold expression, and turned towards the door.
Just when Nangong Yu appeared in front of the guests, the banquet started at this moment. There was a lot of drinking, congratulations, and bustle. Nangong Yu was so busy that he couldn't get away from it, and he quickly integrated into the banquet.
The originally auspicious time for welcoming the bride was set in the morning, but it took a long time before we left. After returning to the palace, it was already past the auspicious time of noon. After many twists and turns, it was already nightfall after the banquet was over.
"Your Majesty, do you want to go to Taoranju?"
At this time, Nangong Yu's body was a little unstable. He was half drunk and half awake, and he was smelling of alcohol. Because of his tall stature, it took three guards to support him.
"Tao Ranju"? Nangong Yu half-squinted his eyes, his eyes blurred, and seemed to be lost in thought. Suddenly, he remembered something, burped and said coldly: "Do you want me to go to the bitch? Qing
Niao, what on earth do you think? You hiccup, you are my king’s person.”
Qing Niao sighed softly. He was not facing Shui Lianyue, but today was the wedding of the prince. If the prince did not show up on the wedding night, I was afraid that the news would spread to the palace, which would cause another trouble.
"My lord, have you forgotten? It's time for the bridal chamber," Qing Niao said softly, lowering her head.
Nangong Yu was slightly startled, then forcefully pushed away one of the guards who was supporting him, staggered to Qing Niao, and sneered: "Okay, then I will go to the bridal chamber, ha." As soon as he finished speaking, he walked around Qing Niao.
Niao, let the guards help him walk towards Tao Ranju.
The night was thick, and the night sky was dotted with several stars. A bright moon hung like a huge plate in the high, dark blue sky, and the soft moonlight shrouded the earth like a transparent white gauze.
Three guards helped Nangong Yu towards the most remote part of the palace, going further and further away. None of them were holding lanterns. Gradually, the gravel path turned into a lightly dusty dirt road, surrounded by miscellaneous trees as tall as a person.
The grass was overgrown, and several towering trees stacked up to form strange shadows. Occasionally, there was a sound of insects chirping, which scared the three guards and kept looking around, fearing that something would jump out of the dense grass.[
"Useless things, this is the palace, you are the guards of the palace, how can you be so afraid?" Nangong Yu noticed the abnormality of the guards and couldn't help but stop and shouted coldly.
None of the three guards said anything and continued to support Nangong Yu. Suddenly, a white shadow flashed out of the grass. It was so fast that no one could see it clearly. Under the weak moonlight, the atmosphere became increasingly weird.
The three guards suddenly panicked, yelled, left Nangong Yu and ran back, calling ghosts, ghosts, ghosts as they ran.
Nangong Yu looked at the backs of the three people with disdain, smiled coldly, raised his hand and snapped his fingers in the air, and saw two black figures kneeling in front of him in an instant, "See the prince."
"Catch up with the white shadow just now, quickly," Nangong Yu said coldly, pointing to the place where the white shadow just disappeared.
"Yes, Your Majesty." One of the shadows stood up and disappeared into the grass.
"Well, how come these three people are on duty in the palace?" Nangong Yu looked at the shadows on the ground and asked in a deep voice. At this time, he was three points drunk and half-squinted his eyes, with a faint glow in his eyes.
Cold light.
Shadow replied in a low voice: "To tell you what the prince said, those three people came in through Lao Zhang from the stable in the mansion, and they are all Nangong Ling's people."
After hearing this, the cold light in Nangong Yu's eyes became more intense. He sneered and said: "Very good, he is still so stupid after all these years. The people he sent are all useless trash. There is no need to keep those three people."
"Also, there is Lao Zhang from the stable, who wants to find a reason to drive him out of the palace by breaking his legs because he has been raising a horse for the king for three years."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Shadow did not leave after accepting the order, but waited for Nangong Yu's instructions.
Suddenly, the shadow that had been tracking Bai Ying returned to the original place, knelt in front of Nangong Yu and whispered: "My lord, I lost you. All I know is that the white shadow disappeared when it arrived at Tao Ran's residence."
Nangong Yu's face instantly turned cold after hearing this, and his dark eyes returned to their original depth, bottomless. He glanced in the direction of Tao Ranju, and the chill in his heart became heavier and heavier. Suddenly, he used Qinggong and jumped into the air, heading towards Tao Ranju. Ju Fei went away.
