The wedding was held as scheduled and was an unprecedented event
Because the person he married was the most noble King of Qi in the Western Kingdom, who was the most beloved son of the late emperor and the Queen Mother. Even the emperor who was born at the same time treated his younger brother very politely. In addition to these, King Qi married two wives at the same time today. He was also the most beloved son in the capital. Good stories that are told
A royal concubine, said to be a direct bloodline of the Xiao family, was a former orthodox royal family who met by chance. She once had a love affair with the King of Qi, but due to the war between the two countries, they could only have a private life. The most beautiful princess in the southern country has This time, the King of Qi took her back and married her.
The other concubine is the apple of the eye of the Qianye family. The Qianye family has always only produced queens. However, it is said that this Miss Qianye has a deep love for the king. Even if she commits herself to the concubine, he is willing to do so. This is inevitable and becomes a problem. A story about an infatuated lover
However, the reality is far from what is spread among the people. Of course, people are willing to believe in fairy tales rather than cruel reality.
Sitting in the sedan chair, Shen Huan's heart was beating non-stop, not because of the excitement of being a bride but because she was worried that Chu Xichen would fall into a trap. There were noisy gongs and drums outside, but Shen Huan was still paying attention. Listen to the noise. If a knife or a gun is really used, she should be able to hear it.
But along the way, except for the sound of gongs, drums and firecrackers, she heard nothing else
The sedan did not stop. I thought that if there was a fight, there would be some alarm, but now it seems... maybe there is no ambush on the road, but in Prince Qi's palace?
Thinking about this, I felt relieved again. This journey, which is not long, seems to be extremely long today.
After finally stopping the sedan, Shen Huan couldn't wait for Ye Canghao to kick the sedan door, so she opened the curtain and walked out. A burst of women's laughter immediately came from outside. She couldn't care less, so she opened the red hijab and carefully observed the surroundings. The laughing women immediately stiffened their expressions, while the men all sighed.
With such an appearance, it’s no wonder that King Qi refused to give up. Even though he was pregnant with Liujia, he could still capture people’s hearts.
When Ye Canghao saw the reactions of those around him, he was very unhappy, especially Qian Yeyu, who didn't know any taboos at all and stared straight at Shen Huan. Canghao nervously put down Shen Huan's hijab and said: " Put it down quickly, put it down quickly, I have to wait until I come to lift it at night, why did you take it away now?"
Shen Huan asked in a low voice: "Are there any guards around the house?"
Ye Canghao thought she was worried about her own safety, so he smiled and said: "Of course, they are all to protect us. Most of the guests here today are important officials of the imperial court. Your brother is also here, sitting in the front hall! Don't worry, I will greet him, but you have to wait until tomorrow to see him."
Shen Huan dealt with it absentmindedly, and was helped into the room by Xiniang. She sat on the bedside. Ye Canghao came over and took off the red hijab for her. Shen Huan hurriedly asked: "What's wrong? Didn't it say that it can only be opened at night?"
Ye Canghao replied: "Didn't you just open it because you felt hot? I'll open it for you first. It's good for you to sit down and take a breath. I won't say anything anymore. You still have to go out to greet the guests. If you are hungry, Let's have something to eat. I'm going out first." After kissing Shen Huan on the face, Ye Canghao walked out with a smile.
The room was quiet, and occasionally laughter and laughter outside could be heard. Shen Huan sat blankly, with several maids looking at her, but she still couldn't do anything.
But gradually, she suddenly felt that her worries were too much, because there was no news from Chu Xichen all day long.
Did he not come at all, or did he come but was already captured?
Hopefully it’s the former!
When Shen Huan was drowsy and about to fall asleep, she suddenly asked about a secret fragrance - of course she knew what the fragrance was, so she quickly held her breath and sure enough, all the maids who were looking at her fell down. Then, the scent gradually dissipated
Shen Huan quickly went to get a candle and burned it in the room to dissipate the last smell. Then she regained her breath and called out softly: "Xichen, Xichen, is that you?"
It seemed like someone had sneaked into the house. She lowered her head and saw the shadow cast on the ground. She turned around and saw a familiar face: "Xi...Xi Chao? How could it be you?" While stunned, she felt a little confused. I'm glad, I'm glad for what, but I can't explain clearly.
It’s been a long time since I saw Xichao. The last time was the Lantern Festival, seven months ago...
Xichao didn't change much, except that he became a little thinner. He said in a low voice: "Just now, you are looking for..."
Shen Huan hurriedly explained: "I didn't know it was you who came, I thought it was Xichen... Ye Cangqiong told me that he also sent an invitation to Xichen, but he set an ambush here. I'm worried, so...you, are you okay?"
Xi Chao shook his head and said: "I'm fine. Our people discovered the ambush, so they didn't show up rashly. I waited until now before I dared to come to you, Ah Hu. That Ye Canghao didn't really treat you, otherwise we wouldn't have been together on the same day." Marrying two people, Ah Hu, can you go back with me, okay?"
Shen Huan lowered his eyes: "I will not go back..."
Xi Chao was anxious: "If you misunderstand why the fourth brother didn't come, it's not that he doesn't care, but he has committed his remaining poison again, and for the sake of the eldest son of the emperor... the fourth brother sent me here to ask me I must take you back!"
"Is he okay? What happened to the eldest son of the emperor?"
"The imperial doctor said that he needs to rest and cannot move around at will. The eldest son of the emperor is fine for the time being... but somehow he fell from the second floor and died."
"What!" Shen Huan was shocked. The emperor's eldest son was already six years old this year. How could he fall to his death when he was so good? There must be many people following him. How could such a flaw happen?
"Don't worry about this anymore, come back to Ahuan with me!"
Shen Huan said lightly: "I will not go back, I am already Princess Qi."
"Why? Because of this child?" Xichao was puzzled, "Fourth brother said that this child is his. When I came here, I heard people say that this child is Ye Canghao's. Ah Hu, tell me, what exactly is this child? Whose?"
"Don't ask..." Shen Huan shook her head desperately
"Okay, I won't ask, but you have to tell me why you don't go back?"
Shen Huan looked up at him and said: "Because I can't face Xichen, I can't face him with peace of mind anymore."
"Why?"
"Because," Shen Huan took a deep breath, "because I killed the Queen Mother and his biological mother."
Xichao was stunned. At this moment, a shout came from outside the door: "An assassin broke in again. Let's search quickly. Don't let the assassin escape!"
Shen Huan hurriedly shouted: "Let's go!"
Xi Chao took her hand and said, "What about you?"
Shen Wen shook him off and said, "I won't leave even if I tell you I won't leave! Leave quickly! Leave!"
The shouts were getting closer and closer. Xichao looked outside, then looked at Shen Huan, and then he had no choice but to jump out of the window and escape.
Xichao had just left for a while when Ye Canghao came in. Seeing the maid lying on the ground, he quickly asked Shen Huan: "Ahan, are you okay? Did the assassin hurt you?"
Shen Huan shook his head, leaned into his arms, and cried silently
