It's a trivial matter to have someone's mind exposed. Being in the royal family and wanting to win that position, it's normal to use some scheming methods.
However, what made him feel uneasy right now was how could Huangfu Lingfeng, a little bully who had never been afraid of anything, willingly follow the prince to the wedding? And he was obviously speaking for the prince today.
There are also Fu Nanchuan, Xi Feng and Qi Jin. They are all the darlings of the younger generation of major families. Why do the new generation of family leaders follow the prince to welcome the bride?
Is this an initiative to show friendship to the prince?
A powerless prince who has been living abroad since he was a child, is he worthy of this?
Sicang and Yun Zishu stepped on the red carpet and walked step by step to the wedding hall.
It is getting dark in the evening, and the wide courtyard is filled with red lanterns. The lights reflect the girl's delicate and bright face. Her red lips are lightly pursed and she is smiling. Her stunning face has a bit of the joy that a newlywed bride should have, and she is as natural as she is.
of calm demeanor.
The wedding dress embroidered with colorful phoenixes was custom-made for her. It was graceful and luxurious, reflecting the dazzling luster under the light. The long skirt trailed to the ground, and the skirt was inlaid with priceless rubies inlaid with gold threads.
It shows nobility and beauty more and more, making people unable to help but be amazed.
Everyone who attended or witnessed the wedding ceremony could clearly see that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Dongyou, who had just been recovered, gave the Crown Princess the deepest love and respect in the highest standards, the most luxurious and magnificent pomp, and this action showed that he
She cares about the Crown Princess and does not allow anyone to treat her lightly or bully her.
The two quickly arrived at the wedding hall. The emperor and the queen were sitting on the main seats. Originally, the prince's wedding should be held in the palace, but the prince insisted on setting up a palace outside the palace, so the emperor and the queen had no choice but to leave the palace for them.
Officiating the wedding.
When I saw Sicang and Yun Zishu walking in, the man was handsome and dignified, and the woman was dazzling. They looked like they were a match made in heaven.
A cold color flashed across the eyes of the Queen, but she held a graceful and noble attitude on her face and said with a smile: "I don't know about the brazier I prepared for the bride -"
"We have already crossed over." Sicang said indifferently, turning to look at the master of ceremonies, "The auspicious time has come, can we start worshiping?"
The queen's face turned gloomy and she couldn't help but clenched her hands. Was the prince impatient with her? As a mother, she didn't even have a chance to speak at her son's wedding?
The emperor didn't care and waved his hand: "Let's worship."
The ceremony officer took the order, raised his voice and shouted: "The auspicious time has come! The newlyweds are paying their respects——"
"Worship heaven and earth!"
"Two thanks to Gaotang!"
"Couple greetings!"
"The ceremony is completed and sent to the bridal chamber!"
Accompanied by loud and joyful shouts, the wedding ceremony that lasted all day was finally announced. Sicang and Yun Zishu turned around and left, surrounded by Xiniang and a group of people, and went to the joyfully decorated residence.
Go to Fengdian.
Behind her, on the throne, the queen tried her best to restrain the anger in her heart. She wanted to go out and ask why no one did what she said. If Yun Zishu obediently stepped over the brazier, she would not be able to come in intact.
As the carefully prepared plan was ruined, the queen could not restrain her anger. She believed that her son had been snatched away - even if this son was once unwanted by her, he was still her son and could not be interfered with by others.
The better the prince treats Yun Zishu, the more dissatisfied she becomes with Yun Zishu.
Everything in the Prince's Mansion is full of festive atmosphere, and the Qifeng Palace is even more luxuriously decorated.
The red candles shine brightly in the new house, making it full of brilliance.
Sicang held Yun Zishu's arm and walked into the inner hall. Xi Niang smiled and said blessings, and threw peanuts, red dates, longans, lotus seeds, etc., which meant auspiciousness, into the tent.
After setting up the bed, the female officer in charge asked the prince and the princess to sit on the edge of the bed. The maid next to them brought the Hexin wine and invited the prince and the Crown Princess to drink the Hexin wine together.
Sicang and Yun Zishu looked at each other, exchanged gentle and affectionate glances, then each picked up a glass of wine, intertwined their wrists, and drank the wine at the same time.
"It is said that on the night of the wedding, the groom will go out to entertain guests." Yun Zishu looked at him with a smile, "Aren't you going?"
Sicang put the wine cup back on the tray and shook his head slowly: "There are Nanchuan and the others, so I don't need to go there myself."
Yun Zishu hummed, understanding that he didn't want to leave her here alone. Just as she was about to say something, she saw Leng Shuang walking in from the door: "Your Highness, Crown Princess."
The two looked up.
"My subordinates have carefully inspected it and found that sandalwood, red beans and cinnabar were added to the charcoal fire. Crossing the brazier is a common method used by the powerful to ward off evil spirits. Common people also use this method to ward off evil spirits. However, today's braziers also add a small amount of arsenic.
After burning, poisonous gas will be emitted, and the aroma masks the toxicity. Once the smell enters the human body, it will poison people." Leng Shuang carefully reported, "Burning a small amount of arsenic will not cause death immediately, but it is harmful to the body and is equivalent to chronic poisoning.
Over time, it will seriously affect your health."
As she finished speaking word by word, the air in the new room suddenly turned cold. The female officer in charge looked at her in surprise and uncertainty, and the other maids also looked frightened and uneasy.
Putting poison in the brazier? Is this a blatant attempt to murder the Crown Princess?
Who is so bold?
Si Cang's brows and eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, and his voice was bone-chilling: "Ask Huangfu Lingfeng to come over."
"yes."
Sicang looked around: "Everyone, get out."
The female officer in charge knew that it was against the rules, so she had no choice but to leave obediently. The other maids did not dare to say a word and left with pale faces.
On the prince's wedding day, someone wanted to harm the prince's concubine.
This fact is enough to bring down the heads of everyone involved.
"Sicang." Yun Zishu's voice was calm, "Although I don't want to defend the queen's ulterior motives, she should not be the one who poisoned her."
Sicang looked at her.
"Today is our wedding ceremony. If I am poisoned by arsenic in the brazier, will you stop there?" Yun Zishu smiled faintly, "She shouldn't take such a big risk for the time being."
The queen prepared to step over the brazier as a way of showing off. As the mother of a country and a mother-in-law, it is nothing to give a hint to a daughter-in-law she doesn't like. Moreover, stepping over the brazier on the wedding day is a rule shared by the elite and the common people, whether they like it or not.
If you like it, there is nothing wrong with it.
However, poisoning is a means of harming people. Once something happens to the Crown Princess, Si Cang will not let it go. He might just go on a killing spree during the happy event. The Queen has been sitting in the back seat for so many years, so she doesn't have any brains.
So the poisoner must be someone else.
Not long after, Huangfu Lingfeng came over. Before he had time to ask anything, he heard Sicang order: "Take down all the nuns, eunuchs and maids who were preparing to cross the brazier outside the gate. If the emperor and empress
When asked, they said they were poisoning the brazier with the intention of murdering the Crown Princess."
