After Sheng Hong was assassinated, he was bandaged in a hurry, and even the bleeding was not completely stopped. He insisted on finding a fast horse and galloped back to the prince's palace. When he arrived at the palace, the wound burst open again, and the blood stained the entire sleeve. It kept dripping down.
That handsome face, full of joy, also looked pale due to heavy blood loss.
Yue Shangshu, who stayed in the Seventh Prince's Mansion to preside over the wedding, was so frightened that his face turned pale, his legs became weak, his lips trembled, and he was so stunned that he couldn't squeeze out a single word.
This, what's going on?
Aren't you going to welcome your bride?
Why did this look come back?
Princess Changping was also shocked and rushed forward: "Seventh Emperor brother, weren't you going to welcome the bride? Why did you come back in such a mess? What happened to the injury on your arm?"
Gu Qing frowned and interrupted Princess Changping: "Princess, don't ask anymore. The Seventh Emperor's injury is not serious. It is important to treat the injury first."
Princess Changping was also surprised and immediately ordered the imperial doctor to come.
Not long after the Seventh Prince's Mansion was established, there was no imperial physician. Fortunately, Princess Changping's Mansion was next door, and there were two imperial doctors in the palace, so they were summoned immediately.
At this time, Sheng Hong did not try to be brave and said softly: "Sister Huang, today I encountered an assassin on the way to welcome the bride. There were also more than ten innocent people on the street who were implicated and either died or were injured."
"After the imperial doctor comes and heals my wounds and stops the bleeding, I will change into a new wedding dress and go to Xie's house to welcome the bride!"
Princess Changping: "..."
Princess Changping was stunned and blurted out: "You still want to go to welcome the bride?"
Gu Qing also looked shocked: "Brother Seventh Emperor, the injury on your arm is not serious, and you have lost a lot of blood. You must not ride back and forth to welcome the bride again."
Is getting a wife more important? Or is life more important?
If you can't welcome your bride today, it's the same as choosing another auspicious day. Why bother yourself like this?
Without even looking at his bleeding arm, Sheng Hong said in a low voice and firmly: "The people behind the scenes want to kill me. If this plan fails, the marriage will be interrupted. If I don't meet Mingxi today
If we go to the church to get married, more changes will happen in the future. Today, I have to get married!"
Princess Changping and Gu Qing looked at each other and were speechless for a long time.
The two of them were childhood sweethearts, and when they grew up, they got married naturally. Their love as a couple was legendary. The two of them have always been proud of their deep love for each other.
But at this moment, seeing Sheng Hong, who was injured in an assassination and had to ride back home to change into wedding clothes to welcome the bride, the same thought suddenly appeared in the minds of the couple.
if……
On the day they got married, if something similar happened to him, would he risk everything for her?
…
The imperial doctor came quickly and hurriedly treated Sheng Hong's injuries.
The injury on Sheng Hong's arm was not too serious, but because Sheng Hong was riding a horse all the way, the wound burst open and he lost a lot of blood.
The two imperial physicians were skilled in medicine and immediately re-cleaned Sheng Hong's wound, applied the best wound medicine, and bandaged it carefully after the bleeding stopped.
Princess Changping did not shy away from the difference between men and women and always stayed by the side.
Yue Shangshu, who was very old, finally regained his composure and persuaded Sheng Hong to give up the idea of welcoming the bride: "... On the wedding day, it is unlucky to see blood. I will order someone to choose another auspicious day. Your Highness
You might as well recuperate and wait for another month or two..."
Sheng Hong drank a bowl of ginseng soup, and finally there was a trace of color on his pale handsome face. Hearing this, he said calmly: "I appreciate the kindness of Yue Shangshu."
"There is no need to reschedule. Today is the wedding day for Mingxi and I, and I will definitely marry her."
Even if Yue Shangshu rubs his tongue, Sheng Hong only has five words.
I'm going to Xie's house.
Yue Shangshu was so choked that he almost couldn't breathe, so he had to plead with Princess Changping: "His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince, regardless of his health, insists on going to the Xie family to welcome the bride. Please give His Highness the Princess some words of advice to make His Highness the Seventh Prince change his mind."
If Sheng Hong makes another mistake today, he, the Minister of Etiquette, will be too shameless to continue his job. He should just file a memorial and become an official!
Princess Changping was a little helpless: "Yue Shangshu, look at his appearance, who can persuade him?"
It seems that we can only wait for the emperor and empress in the palace to issue an order.
The Emperor and the Queen will never allow the Seventh Prince to act so willfully!
Thinking of this, Yue Shangshu's restless and anxious heart calmed down a little.
…
After a while, the princes, Zhao Qi and other young men who had gone to welcome the bride also came back on horseback.
Everyone was so shocked by this incident that they almost couldn't recover. Fortunately, no one was injured except Sheng Hong. But everyone looked ugly.
The third prince, who had always had a gentle temper, had a handsome face as serious as the bottom of a pot: "What happened today must be investigated to the end! He dared to commit an assassination in the street in broad daylight. It is simply audacious!"
The three assassins who secretly ambush and shoot arrows were all dead soldiers. Their faces were covered with scratches and were beyond recognition. When the guards arrived in a hurry, they had each committed suicide by taking poison.
The dozen or so assassins who mingled in the crowd pretending to be ordinary people were all disguised. After the incident, they also committed suicide by taking poison.
The fifth prince's face was equally ugly, and he said angrily: "Who is it? You are so cruel!"
If there were assassins ambushing him like this when he got married that day, would he have been able to escape?
Thinking of the thrilling dozen or so arrows, the fifth prince was still frightened.
The second prince's brows were also furrowed tightly, and he glanced at the fourth prince who had been keeping a cold face and said nothing, as if intentionally or unintentionally.
In fact, not only the second prince, but also the third and fifth princes also suspected that the fourth prince was secretly responsible.
A few days ago, the fourth prince was reprimanded and shamed because of Sheng Hong. Earlier, Sheng Hong had had disputes with the fourth prince several times.
The person the fourth prince fears the most is the third prince, but the person he hates the most is Sheng Hong.
Under everyone's subtle questioning gazes, the fourth prince looked as indifferent as usual and said calmly: "The news of the assassination of the seventh emperor's brother should have been reported to the palace. Father will definitely order a strict investigation of the murderer! Who secretly murdered the seventh emperor?
Brother, the truth will come to light soon! We don’t need to speculate randomly here.”
As soon as these words came out, all the princes looked back.
Sheng Hong also said calmly: "That's what the Fourth Emperor Brother said."
The eyes of Sheng Hong and the fourth prince met in the air.
The two of them each sneered in their hearts.
"The bleeding has stopped." The two imperial doctors had been busy for half an hour. Each was covered in sweat, but they did not dare to show any resentment in their expressions: "It's just that your highness should not move rashly, lest the wound bursts again."
Sheng Hong ignored it and ordered Wei Eunuch to get spare brand new wedding clothes.
The second prince and others tried to persuade him, but all failed.
In the past, people who said Sheng Hong was very affectionate were mostly joking. Today, everyone saw it with their own eyes and couldn't help but admire him.
It turns out that there really are fools in this world who love beauty but not the country, and don’t even cherish their own bodies!
