On your wedding day, you wear wedding clothes and are dressed up to wait for your new husband to come to welcome you. This feeling is so subtle that it is indescribable.
Xie Mingxi ate one or two snacks to satisfy his hunger, and then sat on the bed. He smiled and listened to the soft chatter and laughter of his friends.
Time passed by little by little, and finally it was noon.
The bride-to-be hasn't come yet.
This Sheng Hong, why are you so lazy today!
Gu Shanchang couldn't help but frown slightly and glanced at Xie Mingxi. He wanted to say something, but he held it back.
That’s it! On the big day, it’s better not to criticize Sheng Hong in front of everyone.
Gu Shanchang could hold it back, but Yan Zhenzhen couldn't hold it back anymore and murmured in a low voice: "Why haven't the bride-to-be come yet? If you don't come, you will miss the right time..."
Qin Sihun next to her coughed lightly, interrupting Yan Zhenzhen's words: "Look at you, you are more anxious than Sister Xie."
"Isn't that right?" Fang Ruomeng also smiled and joked: "I have never seen you so impatient. When you get married, you must tell Mr. Zhao to go to Yan's house early to welcome the bride."
Everyone was joking and joking, and quickly changed the subject.
Xie Mingxi smiled slightly, but a faint cloud filled her heart.
With Sheng Hong's temperament, he would definitely come to Xie's house early to welcome his bride. There is no trace of him until now... Could something have happened?
…
The door was suddenly pushed open.
The one who stepped in was Xie Jun.
On the grand day when her daughter was getting married as a princess, the Xie family was full of guests. Why did Xie Jun come to her boudoir if he wasn't busy greeting the guests?
Xie Mingxi's heart sank, her smile faded, and she asked softly: "Father, what happened?"
Xie Jun's heart was like fried oil, his face was full of panic, and his voice was trembling: "Mingxi, don't be anxious or panic after hearing this. His Highness the Seventh Prince... was assassinated by a group of assassins on the way to the wedding. The injury was unknown, so the wedding had to be interrupted..."
boom!
Just two sentences, like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, suddenly exploded!
Everyone's expressions changed, and they all looked at Xie Mingxi.
Xie Mingxi still sat quietly, not panicking. Her delicate makeup concealed the subtle changes in her expression.
In the eyes of everyone, Xie Mingxi's expression remained as calm as usual. Even his voice sounded particularly calm: "Father, don't worry! We still don't know what happened with the assassination, so don't panic or get into trouble."
"Who sent the letter to Xie's Mansion? Have someone come in immediately. I want to ask in person!"
...As a newlywed, shouldn’t I be sitting quietly in the boudoir waiting for the wedding? If my newlywed husband is assassinated and his injuries are unknown, shouldn’t he be panic-stricken and bewildered?
Everyone looked at Xie Mingxi, who was unusually calm like an ordinary person, with extremely complicated eyes, and no one said a word for a while.
Even Xie Jun was stunned in place.
Xie Mingxi glanced at Xie Jun again, her eyes so bright that they were almost menacing, like blades: "Did father hear what I said?"
Xie Jun's whole body trembled, and he responded reflexively: "You heard me, I'll have someone come over right now."
The person who came to deliver the letter was the personal bodyguard of the Seventh Prince. With such a status, it was obviously inappropriate to enter Xie Mingxi's boudoir. However, at this moment, no one cared about these trivial matters.
Gu Shanchang took a deep breath, as if he wanted to use this action to spit out all the fear and panic in his heart: "Li Xiangru, Yin Xiaoxiao, you guys please step aside for now."
Li Xiang and Yin Xiaoxiao, who are the royal princesses, looked at each other and agreed together.
The two of them took the lead in exiting Xie Mingxi's boudoir, followed immediately by Lin Weiwei and others.
…
"What on earth is going on?" Yin Xiaoxiao squeezed Li Xiangru's arm tightly, her pretty face full of shock: "Who on earth dares to assassinate the seventh prince on this day?"
Li Xiangru was also confused and confused, and the stern and cold face of the fourth prince flashed across his mind... No, it couldn't be the fourth prince. No matter how angry the fourth prince was, he couldn't commit fratricide!
Li Xiangru calmed down and responded in a low voice: "I don't know what's going on. Don't panic, please wait patiently for a while. This matter is by no means a trivial matter. It is decided by the father, the emperor and the queen!"
yes!
The dignified prince was assassinated on his wedding day! This is simply a trampling on the dignity of the Tian family!
However, this is not the first time this has happened.
During the spring hunting in Xishan three years ago, an assassin appeared from nowhere to assassinate the emperor. Sheng Hong stepped forward and blocked the fatal arrow for Emperor Jianwen. After that, Emperor Jianwen ordered a thorough investigation. As a result, no trace was found.
The identity of the assassin.
Where did this group of assassins come from today? Who ordered them?
Lin Weiwei and Fang Ruomeng looked solemn, Yan Zhenzhen looked panicked, and Qin Sihun also looked flustered. Everyone discussed in low voices, but there was no plan for what they said.
It was Xie Mingxi who replaced me, and I don't know how anxious I am now.
Where is Xie Mingxi? Is he really as calm as he appears?
…
Xie Mingxi's right hand was tucked into her wide sleeve.
No one could see her right hand was shaking!
Calm down! You must calm down! At this moment, panic and crying will not help. Sheng Hong has been prepared for a long time. No matter how many assassins use, Sheng Hong can still save his life!
Xie Mingxi kept repeating these words in her heart.
Her whole body seemed to be divided into two halves. One half was anxious and anxious in her heart, while the other half was exposed to others, but was as calm as ice and snow.
Gu Shanchang stepped forward worriedly and gently held Xie Mingxi's left hand exposed outside his sleeve.
This hand is shockingly cold.
On the day of her wedding, she encountered something like this! Any other girl would have fainted from fear.
Gu Shanchang felt very sad in his heart: "Mingxi, don't be afraid. Good people have their own destiny, and Sheng Hong is a blessed person. He survived such a serious injury three years ago. Even if he is assassinated today, he will definitely
It will be fine."
Gu Shanchang's hands were exceptionally warm.
Xie Mingxi calmed down and looked up at the worried Mr. Gu Shanchang: "Master, don't worry. Sheng Hong will definitely be able to survive this disaster! I can survive it too!"
This assassination was a life-or-death disaster for Sheng Hong. It was also a disaster for Xie Mingxi, the seventh princess who had never officially married.
Before they even got married, the husband-in-law was assassinated on the way to the wedding. As parents-in-law, it was inevitable that they would be angry with their daughter-in-law and feel that her daughter-in-law was trying to kill her husband. What's more, Emperor Jianwen had some feelings for Xie Mingxi. After this incident, I am afraid that he will no longer have any good impressions of Xie Mingxi.
, only disgust and displeasure.
Xie Mingxi was already facing an embarrassing situation before she entered the gate of heaven.
This person who set up the situation secretly is really cruel in his methods.
Gu Shanchang held Xie Mingxi's hand tightly, gritted his teeth and said angrily: "Who is it? Why do you want to harm you like this?"
Who else could it be?
A gloomy and cold handsome face flashed in Xie Mingxi's mind, and a strong and terrifying murderous intention surged in her heart.
